A contract signed by a minor is not binding!


All warp passages to the sub sector have been cut by raging storms, the light of the Astronomicon is obscured, and the Inquisitorial Conclave has begun to crack under the pressure of keeping a lid on the upsurge of cultists, xenos meddling, and malign influences. Facing disaster, the senior inquisitors are presenting a united front - they are empowering new Acolytes at historically significant levels from among the most promising local candidates, and assigning them tasks with the knowledge and support of all the Conclave. But old habits die hard, even in the face of Armageddon, and the disagreements over tactics and philosophy that are endemic to the inquisition will make working for many masters a difficult path to tread.

What is this?

A pbp (play by post) game of Dark Heresy Second edition. It's aimed at the AusPol Crew and will feature persons and places themed accordingly, and auspol posters will probably be taking most of the available player slots. That doesn't exclude other posters from applying or making GBS threads the thread up participating in the world building process though, but please be aware going in that favoritism is in full effect.

Character Creation

Starting characters (1000xp), High Powered Point Buy (Characteristics start at 30 +/-5, 60 points to distribute, max 45), max wounds, assume you made your Fate roll.

If you don't have the books but still want to make a character make a post with a brief description of the sort of character you want and I or some other kind veteran of this system will help you out.

good yes what would you like to be? As an Acolyte of the Holy Inquisition you have many choices such as:

  • space wizard
  • a bureaucrat
  • judge dredd
  • space nerd
  • grrl power
  • 80's action movie soldier

for the uninitiated this particular game isn't about playing the famous Space Marines, instead revolving around the efforts of secret police operatives with unlimited authority but limited firepower trying to prevent rebellions or demonic incursions before they happen.

  • Fire
  • Flesh
  • Force
  • Fate
  • Fooling people

You are a Voidborn Adeptus Astra Telepathica Mystic, with powers relating to Biomancy. Born on a spaceship and raised in a cage, you shoot out lighting empowered by rage.

Sororitas are available, although this may conflict with your desire to be a man! Starting sororitas don't get the power armour/boltgun combo by default but do get access to them fairly easily.

Well, if you don't mind me throwing a pick on the class that would break the party the minute anyone is even moderately heretical, then I'd like to be a Sororitas. Imperial world and uh... noble origin.

yeah no sweat, a little inter-party fratricide is genre appropriate imo.

A Feudal World Adepus Sororitas Hierophant is probably pretty close - stabby but with nice manners.

characters from daemon or quarantine worlds are about the only thing I would avoid. other than that we can workshop whatever you come up with.

Adept Anidavus of the Holy Inquisition, you are a sanctioned Primaris Psyker. This means your powers are both useful (on the battlefield, because how else does the Imperium determine value?) and that you have been tested and found stable and safe enough to be allowed out on your own. In many cases this involves a years/decades long journey to Terra itself, but the sanctioning process can be carried out elsewhere if necessary.

You were born and raised on a starship. What kind? A warship, a merchant vessel, a pilgrim transport, or something else?

Did you discover your talent before the witch-finders took you from your home and family, or was it a surprise?

Did you take the long journey to Earth, or was your training left in the hands of the local Adeptus Astra Telepathica authorities?

Your powers are based around the manipulation of life energy and living tissue. What does this say about you?

What colour is your force lightning Bio-Electric Smite? Some people believe this reflects the nature of your soul.

As a loyal servant of the Immortal Emperor, who do you hate more? Heretics, Aliens, or the Ruinous Powers?
