Roland Matthias, Void-master First Mate. Ship's Master. Executive Officer. The Old Man. Every ship in the galaxy has one, by one name or another. People who've been plying the void-lanes for so long they seem almost carved from the iron of the ships they serve on. Weathered, unflappable, immovable as mountains they're the men, women, and others that stand as fixed points of reference for rating and officer alike. Perhaps they are the voice and right hand of distant captains, or the stern taskmasters of charismatic ones, but love them, hate them, or fear them (and it's usually a healthy mix of all three), no voidsman worth their salt would leave port without one they trust. There are few such sailors as dyed in the wool as Roland Matthias. Born to a pair of Battlefleet Koronus logistics officers in Port Wander young Roland grew up in the efficient, regimented buzz of activity that is a war fleet. Learning from a young age the value of routine, order, and hierarchy in crisis he dreamed of nothing more than being a combat officer. He excelled at the battlefleet schola, graduating third in his class, good enough to win a place as a midshipman on board the frigate Resolute Fury. He had barely had time to learn his way around the wardroom before a minor crusade was called against the Eldar corsairs of the Heathen Stars. In the fierce fighting that followed he served with distinction, eventually bein breveted to 2nd Lieutenant after much of the junior officer core were killed by strange teleporting xenos warriors. So it was with the hope of promotion and glory that the Resolute Fury returned to Port Wander and all his hopes were dashed. Due to a garbled astropathic message Acting Lieutenant Roland Matthias has been listed as killed in action. The bureaucratic edifice of the Munitorum being what it is the clerks saw little reason to delve into a mountain of paperwork just because a young officer happened to be inconveniently alive. As far as the Imperial Navy was concerned he was dead and would remain that way. No promotion. No glory. Matthias spent several years in Footfall and Port Wander doing whatever jobs he could, shipping out as a rating or warrant officer with merchant houses and free companies, drinking away his pay. If the Munitorum thought he was dead, perhaps he should oblige them, he thought, and sought his end in the bottle. And then, as is often the case in the wilds of the Imperial fringe, his life changed on a random chance. He happened to be in the same bar as a young Vincenzo Redcliffe when the not-quite Rogue Trader's helmsman got into an argument with a hive-ganger about how many 7s should be in a deck of cards and got stabbed to death. The young Master Redcliffe was all too happy to pick up the services of Navy trained helmsman at cut rate prices on short notice and so began a long partnership. They kept the crew together during the terrible voyage when the lay becalmed in the Warp for weeks, surviving alien attacks, minor mutinies, and brushes with Imperial authority alike. When Vincenzo unexpectedly inherited the family's warrant there was no question who his XO would be. Roland is the picture of the omnipresent, indefatigable officer. He hasn't touched a drop of liquor in decades, but smokes his blackbriar lho-pipe near constantly. He runs the ratings of the Harlot with a mixture of iron discipline and mutual respect. He expects the best from the voidsmen under his command and strives to return the favor. His devotion to Vincenzo, the Redcliffe Dynasty, and the Harlot borders on the religious. They took him in when he was in the throes of suicidal depression and gave him purpose, gave him back his place among the stars. Certainly the captain can be a bit... odd, a little fae around the edges at times, but he's never let down Roland or the Harlot and that's what matters most. We're all a bit strange around here, he's wont to say, after all: what sane man would sail the Harlot? pre:Roland "Old Man" Matthias Void-master Master of Space WS (35) 25+5+5 BS (60) 25+15+20 S (35) 25+5+5 T (40) 25-3+8+10 Ag (60) 25+5+20 Per (50) 25-5+10+10 Int (57) 25+27+5 WP (55) 25+15+15 Fel (56) 25+3+3+20+5 FP: 4 Insanity Points: 6 Corruption: 0 Wounds: 18 Battlefleet - +5 WP, +3 Fel, -5 Per - Speak Language (Battlefleet War Cant), Common Lore (Imperial Navy) as trained - Officer on Deck: +5 to all Command tests onboard a space craft - Shipwise: Navigation (Stellar) as Trained - Void Accustomed: Immune to space travel sickness, no penalty in micro-gravity and null G - Shipbound Fighter: -2 Iniative and double Long range penalties when in open space planetside - Wounds: 1d5 - FP: 1-6= 3, 7+= 4 In Service to the Throne -Born to Lead: Command, Literacy, and Scholastic Lore (Tactica Imperialis) are Trained skills - + 3 Fel, -3 T - -200 XP Crusade -Call to War: gain Peer (Military) and Hatred (Eldar) - +5 BS - +1d10 Insanity points - -150 XP Dark Voyage -Forbidden Lore (Warp) is trained -Gain Resistance (Fear) - +1d5 Insanity Points Devotion -Loyalty: Trade (Voidfarer) is trained basic and +5 bonus to WP and Fel tests while on board the Harlot - -100xp SKILLS: Awareness +20 Charm Command +20 Common Lore (Imperial Navy+10, War, Koronus Expanse, Tech) Dodge +20 Forbidden Lore (Xenos, The Warp) Intimidate Literacy Navigation (Stellar)+10 Pilot (Space Craft +20, Flyers +20) Scholastic Lore (Astromancy +10, Tactica Imperialis, Judgement) Scrutiny +10 Secret Tongue (Rogue Trader, Military, Underdeck) Speak Language (Low Gothic, Battlefleet War Cant, High Gothic) Tech-Use Trade (Voidfarer, Shipwright) TALENTS: Air of Authority Auto-sanguine Pistol Weapon Training (Universal) Melee Weapon Training (Universal) Nerves of Steel Orthoproxy Peer (Military) Quick Draw Hatred (Eldar) Hardy Hotshot Pilot Into the Jaws of Hell Iron Discipline Iron Jaw Jaded Resistance (Fear) Rapid Reload Die Hard Talented (Navigation (Stellar)) True Grit Sound Constitution x5 Void Tactician GEAR: Power Sword Bolt Pistol Guard Flak Armor Micro-bead Void Suit Blessed ship token Imperial Navy Uniform Rebreather 2x bottles amasec Pict-recorder Vox-caster ACQUISITIONS: Archeotech Laspistol (-20) Best Craftsmanship Mind Interface Unit (-20) Good Craftsmanship Selenite Void-suit (-10) Good Craftsmanship Enforcer Light Carapace (-10) Good Craftsmanship Vitae Supplement (+0) Caged Songbird (+0) Red-dot Laser Sight Auspex/Scanner Vox Implant Servo-Skull Recaf Lho and Pipe RANK 1: Awareness (100xp) Dodge (100xp) Scrutiny (100xp) Secret Tongue (Rogue Trader) (100xp) Simple Per (250xp) Simple WS (250xp) Simple T (250xp) Simple BS (100xp) Intermediate BS (250xp) Simple Agi (100xp) Intermediate Agi (250xp) Simple WP (100xp) Sound Constitution (200xp) RANK 2: Common Lore (Koronus Expanse) (200xp) Common Lore (Tech) (200xp) Intimidate (100xp) Pilot (Space Craft) +10 (200xp) Pilot (Flyers) +10 (200xp) Dodge +10 (200xp) Scrutiny +10 (200xp) Tech-Use (200xp) Secret Tongue (Military) (200xp) Secret Tongue (Underdeck) (200xp) Intermediate T (500xp) Die Hard (200xp) True Grit (200xp) Sound Constitution (200xp) RANK 3: Awareness +10 (200xp) Charm (200xp) Command +10 (200xp) Pilot (Flyers) +20 (200xp) Pilot (Space Craft) +20 (200xp) Speak Language (High Gothic) (200xp) Quick Draw (200xp) Rapid Reload (200xp) Air of Authority (200xp) Hardy (200xp) Intermediate Per (500xp) Intermediate WP (250xp) Simple S (250xp) RANK 4: Command +20 (200xp) Dodge +20 (200xp) Trade (Shipwright) (200xp) Scholastic Lore (Judgement) (200xp) Talented (Navigation (Stellar)) (200xp) Iron Discipline (200xp) Jaded (200xp) Sound Constitution x3 (600xp) Iron Jaw (500xp) Hotshot Pilot (500xp) Trained BS (500xp) Trained Agi (500xp) RANK 5: Awareness +20 (200xp) Scholastic Lore (Astromancy) +10 (200xp) Marksman (200xp) Orthoproxy (200xp) Gamble (200xp) Trained WP (500xp) Simple Fel (500xp) Simple Int (500xp) Expert BS (750xp) Expert Agi (750xp) RANK 6: Into the Jaws of Hell (500xp) Void Tactician (500xp) XP: 0/22,000 Fate Points: 4 Slightly Lions fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Nov 2, 2021 |
