Inquisition: Eye of Terror: A WarHammer: 40k rp. (signup thread)

[mcpop9]

40,000 years into the dark and grim future, war is never ending. A struggle between man and its foes, they could be anywhere and they are everywhere. Chaos forces pushing its way into the material world, Orks assaulting worlds unprovoked, Eldar attacks randomly spread out, the Tyranid and Necron threats hanging in the air, The Tau empire and the Imperium of man fighting for control of worlds and the secret decay of the God Emperor himself are all issues of the time.

In recent years, war has become relatively quiet. war still rages, but things have calmed down within the Imperium. This has allowed the Inquisition to seek out threats to the Imperium of Man inside the Imperium itself, to purge chaos from its borders.

Our Adventure begins with an Inquisitor who has gathered members of the Imperium of Man that are much like herself, Resistant or immune to the touch of the warp. Unbeknown to all of our gathered party save for the inquisitor, their fates are awaiting them in the Eye of Terror.

Welcome to the future, this rp will be about a ship and a gathered party being flung into the Eye of Terror. Such as the reason everyone gathered is resistant to the warp. You have been gathered from all parts of the Imperium and such is the wide range of people gathered here.

Spoiler: Weapons

Primary Melee Weapon: A Master-crafted Chainsword.
Primary Ranged Weapon: A Reverse-engineered Pulse Pistol (Tau), that has slowly taken on the appearance of a hellpistol. It was claimed from a battlefield that had been his first deployment with his original master, it has been extensively modified over the past nine years due to his expanding knowledge of Xeno tech and how to incorporate it into imperial tech. One of his modifications was the change over to a standard imperial laspack for a power source.

Weaponised Bionics and Implants: Modified Mechadendrites (Two Ark welders, Two Interfaces, Two Lascutters, and Four Manipulators) and Extensive Electoos.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bio: Born on a forge world in the Tempestus Segmentum, he was drafted into the mechanicum after his parents were killed during a Waagh at the age of five, he was inducted into the Electro Priests at the age of sixteen, and he was distributed to the inquisition at the age of twenty. This all eventually led to him being moved into his current master's retinue that seems to be moving towards Cadia.

If he hadn't been sent to the inquisition, he would have become a secutor by now.

Thank you.

 

[Mr.Ivebeenframed]

This is definitely interesting, expect a sheet tomorrow.

Also a few questions:
Are the Space Marines off limits or just certain chapters?
Would we have to include how we were contacted or how an inquisitor would know about our characters being resistant or immune from the warp?

 

[mcpop9]

snip

You don't need to include how you've found out and no, space marines aren't off limits. The only chapter i'd consider off limits are the Grey Knights.
But it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of backstory as to how you got there. Be it through being labeled a threat because of your ability or because you have crossed paths with the inquisition somehow.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Are Xeno weapons, equipment, and technology off limits? I wouldn't mind having a tau pistol.

if you can give a valid reason why your character would have possession of and use it, then ok. Just make sure you can explain it to an inquisitor

Is being [attached to / part of] Ordo Xenos a good enough reason?

Always wanted to make a Adepta Sororita
Hope you enjoy and any suggestions or criticisms are welcome

Spoiler: Sister Leoni

Spoiler: OOC

Do you have skype?: Yes
Account name if you have it:Same as my escapist name

Name: Sister Leoni Vandemar

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Career Path: Sister of Battle

Chapter or Order: Order of the Sacred Rose

Rank: Retributor

Weapons: Red Heavy Flamer, Red Melta grenades with the litanies of the Adepta Sororitas inscribed into each and every one of them, and a Red Dagger with its sheath on her hip.

Armor: White Sororitas power armour, and Sabbat pattern Sororitas helm.

Appearance: Her obsidian black hair, and sky-blue eyes are the most distinguishing features on her face besides her height or her strength. Her strong, square jawline and sharp cheeks are also an indication of the strict regiment of the Sisters of Battle. There isn't as single ounce of fat on her body and she wears her hair like the regulation bob cut that all Adepta Sororitas are known to be seen in. Due to her Order, there are multiple prayer seals on her armor and two on her heavy flamer.

Build: Muscular

Height:6'4

Bio: Leoni's story starts in the orphanage run by the Schola Progenium after her father was killed in a space battle against the forces of Chaos. With her mother dead from giving birth to her, and her father dead, Leoni had no choice. Quickly Leoni turned into an effective Battle Sister and religious fanatic along with all her other Battle Sisters. Leoni followed the word of the Emperor in and out of the battle becoming more fanatic than human in due process. She accepted the Emperor as her sole father and the Abbess of the Adepta Sororitas as her mother, nearly forgetting about her original family. It wasn't until Jekyyl V that her family line didn't end with her.

A heretic "insurrection" had overrun the Imperial colony on Jekyyl V and the forces of chaos were suspected of being behind the mess. A Mission of Battle Sisters and Inquisitors were sent to investigate and a warp storm erupted upon entry of the planet. The storm isolated the system for a good month but it was a month that Leoni would never forget. The cruiser she was in crashed on the planet and the small contingent had to fend off the forces of Nurgle or better yet hordes of plague zombies. Leoni, a handful of surviving Battle Sisters, a few inquisitors, and the last able-bodied crew members held off the shambling undead in a monastery until Imperial reinforcements arrived a month later. Even then, a counter attack was needed to fully exterminate all traces of Nurgle. An exterminatus was out of the question so fighting was the only solution. Leoni's fury didn't relent until the entire was cleansed and she followed it through. The extensive campaign brought an end to Nurgle's influence there but something else was revealed in her stay on Jekyyl V. One of the inquisitors revealed himself to be her uncle and he noted her resistance to the touch of the warp. The only reason he didn't reveal his relation to her earlier was because of the separation he had with her father. The uncle didn't even know he had a niece until their "stay" on Jekyyl V.

Because of her uncle's word, Leoni's resilience was known in the Inquisition's records. Sadly, her uncle died from the wounds sustained in the month-long siege and Leoni continued her service to the Sisters until an inquisitor requested her presence. She accepted.

Always wanted to rp in the WH 40K universe. Shall create a great character for this, one of my finest works (I shall attempt I should say).

Spoiler: Skype

Username: Tiger Sora. Or it may be all one word.

Spoiler: Kelvistine Ferosis

Name: Kelvistine Ferosis
Age: 41
Gender: Female
Career Path: Commissariat
Chapter or Order: Valhallan 701st Infantry "Ice Wraiths". On liaison with Inquisition.
Rank: Commissar

Weapons: Chainsword, Bolt Pistol.

Armor: A golden breastplate with the Aquila engraved across the breast. She also wears shin guards that bear spikes on the knee guard portion of the armor. This is the actual armor she wears over her Commissarial clothing, which offers very little protection otherwise.

Appearance: Fair colored hair, the length braided into a ponytail that is just longer than the collar of her greatcoat, light green eyes. Rather rounded face giving her a seemingly cute appearance despite the fierce image a Commissar is supposed to impose, once shes shouting and swinging around that chainsword, lets just say message sent. Her other 'bodily' features are hidden from sight by the large greatcoat of the Commissariat and battle armor. The high peaked cap, undercoat, black pants and combat boots. These are all adorned with the finery one would expect. Her chainsword hangs off on the left side of an elegant belt with the bolt pistol and holster on the right. The last item is the red sash wrapped around her waist, a symbol of the power she's been given.

Build: Not thin like some aristocratic heiress, rather strongly build with good proportions.

Height: Five foot eleven inches.

Bio: "Never in all the years I've been a full fledge Commissar have I seen such a fine act of cowardice" - Kelvistine Ferosis words when executing the ranking PDF officer for fleeing the battle when the chips were down.

Kelvistine was born on the backwater world of Viridia. Her father was a member of the PDF and was inducted into the Imperial Guard for the planets tithes of guardsmen and was KIA. Her mother passed away when she was young and she was brought in to the Schola Progenium. Throughout her schooling she showed absolute devotion to the Emperor, preformed above average in schooling and combat training. Her skill and zeal had taken notice and when ready she was sent to join a Commissar Cadet squadron with the Valhallan 425th Light Infantry.

She and 7 other cadets were under the eye of Commissar Desmond Luth. A sensible man who'd seek victory without wasting soldiers, retreat was never an option though. Fall back tactics were if the order was given. Commissar Luth instilled his skills and beliefs into them. Many who would become Commissars followed the text book examples. Victory at all cost. Kelvistine was not blinded by what they were supposed to be, she sometimes took to her own devices to do what she felt be done to achieve victory. Sometimes she was praised and others reprimanded for jeprodisring the line by leading a charge or her fellow cadets tossing the blame on her. The vast majority of the Commissariat would of executed her on the spot for these infractions. But Luth from personal experience knew that an inflexible soldier was always the first to break, and one that can move to the changing tides of battle and perhaps she could even read them, would go on to greater things. So he never did because he knew she'd grow to be an excellent and inspirational leader.

3 years under Commissar Luth's tutelage on the front line of many campaigns (Mostly fighting Orks and on rarer occasions chaotic forces) he felt her ready to advance to a full Commissar. Being the first of her cadet squad to achieve the honor. The inauguration ceremony was nothing of particular note, other than that it was short. She was given her chainsword and bolt pistol every Commissar is given at the beginning of their career. Along with a freshly tailored to size Commissarial uniform.

Now Commissar Kelvistine Ferosis was of status, she was to undertake her first posting. Thankfully Luth had paved the start of her path so she was posted to a rather new Valhallan regiment, the Valhallan 701st Infantry "Ice Wraiths". Her first months to the regiment faired very poorly. The troopers shunned her. (Though not to odd for a non Valhallan to be so but it seemed worse that her initial time in a Valhallan regiment). The officers were reluctant to take advice but tended to do so under the gaze of a fresh fiery Commissar. Kel worked for months and into the years to build up the relationship with the regiment. She always took the most dangerous roles that needed to be undertaken. Always sought for the care and well being of the troops. She needed them to like her, trust and follow without hesitation. Kel knew so long as she had the troopers on the good side she wouldn't get shot or suffer a worse fate. So through these acts of bravery, care and attention along with others she had her troopers and officers on her side. Through the many years served with the 701st she'd formed a friendship with the commanding officers, Colonel Terith and Captain Aerrli. And afew with some of the troopers. These were somewhat harder to maintain, but she managed.

For an unknown reason, a member of the Inquisition has requested (An order when the Inquisition requests something) her aid. Kelvistine is loath to leave the regiment she's been able to call home for many a year now, and the few friends she's been able to make. This can't be ignored though. She vowed to come back to her beloved 701st, and come Chaos or high heresy will anything stand in the way of that vow.

Spoiler: Arthurias Le'Nosan

Name: Arthurias Le'Nosan
Age:184
Gender: Space Marine

Career Path: Speehs Mahine
Chapter or Order: Dark Angels
Rank: Ravenwing Epistolary

Weapons: Force sword engraved with the following words along the hilt and guard, "Far may the enemies of the Emperor run into the Darkness, but all will be taken back into the Light" and a plasma pistol.

Psychic Powers:

Mind Worm:Two uses for this power, one is during combat he hurls a ball of psychic energy at an enemy, causing a mental seizure, possibly inducing a stroke in the target. The second is during a interrogation setting, where he induces a catatonic-like state while he roots around in the victim's mind, causing them to use all of their willpower simply to keep from him their inner self, the stronger of them able to keep secrets from him.

Force Barier: Arthurius covers his body with pure psychic energy, rendering it capable of stopping all but the strongest of weapons or Daemon-forged.

Hellfire: Arthurius holsters his weapons and conjures the purest fire to burn away the enemies of the Imperium of man. And especially Fallen.

Weaken Resolve:Again another power with two uses, the first again, combat, a cone of psychic energy emanating from his open palm cause most enemies to at the least falter in their charge, at best, break them completely. When used in conjunction with Mind Worm, it makes it slightly easier to ferret out secrets in an interrogation setting.

Armor: The standard Ravenwing power armor, engraved with,"The Lost cannot outrun our Fury", a single Marksman's Honour hanging off the center of his Imperialis, and a bit of wax still on his left shoulder pad from a Purity Seal ripped away and a fresh one on his right shoulderpad.

Appearance: very rarely is Arthurias seen out of his armor or robes, his face almost always either covered or bowed down in prayer. Rarely will they see anything but his eyes, bright green surrounded by dark circles. The rest of his face is vaguely handsome, but hidden from the world behind a mask of depression, anger, and no small amount of suspicion.His head is shaved with small pricklings of hair beginning to grow once again.

Build: Massive,similar to a plasteel bunker in relation to his solidarity.
Height: 9 foot nothing, and over 300 lbs.

Bio:
Arthurias Le'Nosan was not born with that name. As most Dark Angels, he was recruited from a feudal planet the Rock was passing by. His latent psychic abilities were noticed by one of the Librarians and he was sent into training almost immediately. After passing the rites to become one of the wandering monks, he showed great resolve and a passion to hunting down the Fallen, his resistance to the powers of Chaos slightly better than the average DA Marine or Librarian. Because of this he was presented with a place in the Ravenwing specializing in capturing the Fallen and against Chaos incursions. He's in no way the strongest-willed or the best, but where he shines is his dedication to the Emperor and the Dark Angel's personal agenda. He was submitted as a candidate to the Inquisition willingly in the hopes that no Fallen are lost in the Warp or that they are discovered by any but one of their own.

Edit: Done!

Spoiler: Sister Serena Versire

Name: Serena Versire

Age: 37

Gender: Female

Career Path: The Sisters of Battle

Chapter or Order: The Order of Our Martyred Lady

Rank: Seraphim

Weapons: An Eviscerator-style Chainsword. While undecorated, it is marked with a purity seal on the grip and a verse from the Imperial Hymnal, Volume Four:

Hate! Hate! Hate!
An emotion as pure as it is deep!
Hate! Hate! Hate!
Let it flow, let it run free!

The weapon itself has a black, vaguely squarish body with a long grip and off-white, hooked blades. While unremarkable, it is obviously well cared for.

Armor: Black Sororitas Battle Armor with a dark red cloak, equipped with a Jump Pack. Serena is almost always in full armor with her helmet on, Eviscerator either in hand or slung across her back.

Appearance: Out of her armor, you might be forgiven for thinking that Serena was a refugee instead of a warrior. She's fairly short and slight of build, lacking easily visible, rippling muscles. Her skin is pockmarked with scars, mostly burns, bullets, and blades. The palms of her hands are covered in scar tissue, the lines all run together, and much of the left side of her face is twisted from being shot in the face by a Termagant's fleshborer. While her skull was successfully reconstructed by medicae, the massive scar remains as a reminder of her failure. Serena is bald-headed, finding accoutrements like hair to be a hindrance.

Build: Slight, although contact shows that she is wiry, her slight build concealing deceptively strong musculature.

Height: Five feet and two inches.

Bio: Faith is purest when it is unquestioning.

Serena has never known a life outside of service as a warrior in the service of the Emperor. Her parents were PDF auxiliaries slain during the war for Indirus II, and the orphan - currently less than a year old - was given to the Schola Progenium to be trained in the Emperor's service. As she grew, Serena demonstrated an impressive capacity for violence in the name of the Emperor, a capacity that drew the attention of the Sisters of the Order of Our Martyred Lady.

Upon her graduation from the Schola she was inducted into the Sisters of Battle, where after her training was completed she soon faced her first battles fighting against a powerful heretic army that had emerged seemingly overnight on Tarsus X. Guard and Sisters alike converged on the world and engaged in a brutal war to purge the critical Agriworld of the heretical filth.

In these battles, Serena proved herself, wielding her blade until it became too coated in blood and gore to cut and her bolter ran empty and she was reduced to using it as a bludgeon. As the war progressed it soon became apparent that these were not mere heretics but in truth Genestealers, the tip of the Tyranid spear.

For two years the war on Tarsus X would continue, the Genestealer Cultists giving way to their Purestrains, and then eventually to the Hive Fleet arriving in orbit. While only a tiny splinter of the great Hive Fleet Behemoth destroyed at Macragge centuries ago, it was still a match for the stalwart servants of the Imperium stationed below. For two years Sisters, Guardsmen, and PDF stood together against a seemingly endless onslaught, for two years they were slowly ground down.

It would be during this War that Serena would take up the weapon that would become her signature, casting aside her issue bolter for a fallen Ecclesiarchy warrior's Eviscerator before leading her squad of sisters in a mad charge, the surprise - and nearly suicidal - action momentarily allowing them the advantage and an opportunity to strike at the synapse creatures of the Tyranids, the momentary advantage being taken advantage of by her commanders, snowballing into routing the Tyranids and slaughtering them by the thousands.

Already weakened by battle with the Guard and Sisters ships in orbit and now taking crippling casualties on the ground, the small Tyranid fleet fled, soon to be hunted down by the Imperial Navy. The victory came at a terrible cost, though. Nearly the entire company of Sisters was wiped out and thousands of Guardsmen had perished. Over a third of the world's population was dead and the loss of the harvest would bring the death of millions more. Serena's act had tipped the balance, but too late for many of the warriors of the world.

Serena's act would draw the attention of higher-ranking Sisters, and soon her valor and zeal would be put to better use as a Seraphim.

For the past fifteen years she has served with the Seraphim, and her Eviscerator has grown worn and notched with the blood of Xenos and Heretics. It was this battle-fervor and her unyielding faith in the Emperor that drew the Inquisitor's attention, and despite her desire to remain with her Sisters there was no resisting an Inquisitor's will.

i'm lookin for at least 5 rp'ers and i'd like to get one or two more sheets than that for a good selection.
and 5/8 sheets are female (mine included.)

I got a similar problem to the guy above me. Eldar through and through, I can do Imperium but it depends if WAOA 4 kicks off soon to whether I can play or not.
One questions before I demo a sheet. How fast will this thing be going?

it won't be scheduled, you get on and rp till you get off. I do have a faster paced posting rate when i'm into it, but most of the time it may be a few minutes between posts for me. The rate of the rp will change depending who's on and how the plot advancement is coming along.
