Can I still play?

I'm a homely female privateer. I've been marooned on the ship after something happened to my own vessel. I seem quite anxious to be off and on my way.

I bear the name Ophelia, though I respond to it slowly enough that it may not be my own. I speak far too well to be regular pirate, and I'm not attractive enough to be a runaway concubine.

I've a straight fringe you swear you've seen somewhere before, and a plasteel breastplate of forge world design. A short scabbard hangs from my womanly hips, the ornate handle protruding thus has the over-sized look of a powered blade, but I've never drawn the weapon to identify its true nature. On my other hip rests a small egged device, whose function you can only begin to guess at. In any case it looks far too expensive for a "privateer" to be wearing, especially a woman.

Still, the steward said my papers appear to be in order, and the captain has given me a cabin befitting an honoured guest. You've more pressing concerns now anyway, than being suspicious about some off-world tramp. Yet for all your resolve, it's my expressionless face you see when you close your eyes at night. A man gets mighty lonely out here in the dark...

I've redecided on a Space marine scout, armed with a sniper rifle, and a heavy bolter.
Something along the lines of being recruited out of retirement (If they EVER retire in 40k) to serve in the space marine army thingy.
They don't retire. They serve their chapter until they die. Just so you know. :p
Count me in Galt. Is unsanctioned psyker allowed? With all these zealots on board that role should be fun AND short-lived. If not then make me an acolyte of one of the inquisitors. They need some lapdogs.
Oh and feel free to make my name less than totally ridiculous. This username was a folly of youth I can't give up but it's still silly.
Just curious here but will the inquisitors all be Puritans or is there some Radical leeway allowed?

ooooh, if there's inquisition involved, can I be a Daemonhost? So many Linda Blair quotes waiting to happen.

failing that, I'd probably go with inquisitorial stormtrooper, crusader, or Adeptus Arbites Arbirator

This is interesting. I'll sign up as a Space Wolf scout armed with a sniper rifle, a pistol, and a knife. The standard scout armor and equipment follows.

Can I be one of Gaunt's Ghosts? Quite how it could work I'm not sure, but a slightly unhinged example of Gaunt's finest with a camo-cloak and a lasgun would suit me just fine. If not, Imperial guard sentinel pilot.

Sorry, but I don't know how I'd work the marines in on this one, them being super-human and all, not best suited for diplomacy, so I'll just give you the Guard equivilant unless you want something else.

Also, signup period will end around 8pm EST so if you're just reading this and haven't signed up, get to postin'. Oh yeah, and due to the diversity of the Guard group, I'm gonna give it a Last Chancer's Theme.

Diplomacy? You do realise there are Inquisitors in this game yes?

Inquisitor Diplomacy:
"You are not faithful to the Emperor!"
"No, I am-"
"DIE, Heretic!"
*las-pistol discharge*

Mind you, I spose Space marines would be kinda character-less. Every other sentence being "For the emperor!"

Sorry, I'll stop being silly now.

I guess I'll be a sniper. Inexperienced, but with some skill and maybe high parentage.

That depends on the characters. I myself will probably play a more Radical type with shaky ethics, loose women, and fast cars.

Also, Jakeb Smith, I'm just gonna go ahead and make you the captain of the ship, seeing as how we don't have any other volunteers.

That list looks like it could use an Ogryn if you'll allow it. If not perhaps a generic conscripted guardsman.

Well, I'm gonna post the complete backstory in a little bit, but essentially it's an Imperial ship sailing travelling through the warp en route to eliminate a rebellious governor.

I was thinking Vindicare would be most suited, seeing as the assassination of an rogue governor is right up there alley.
