There is. Not sure where to slot you in though. Probably won't be till everyone is planet side. Which won't be long. Have you got a copy of the rules?

Rarity Declis

I be getting them today. Basically, I'm thinking just a good old fashioned, full of faith and fire, "The God-Emperor'll sort'em out" Imperial Priest, not very high-ranking, but certainly very certain of the God-Emperor.

I'll get stuff rolled up later and shoved onto here for you, and then you let me know when I'm needed, no need to force me in. i'll just follow until then.

Scout Sergeant Mkoll

TD, you expected banter with a guardsman, a psyker and a tech adept? Psykers are seen as freaks at the best of times, ad mech struggle getting on with people and guardsmen don't tend to know people long enough to make jokes before they get shot. :P
Mkoll's Awesome Card Counter: +8

May the brave be remembered forever. Farewell our friends.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to catch you.

Have an update.



This is true. But no single one of you is exactly normal, hence why you have all caught an inquisitors eye. Oh, should probably mention that none of you are actually supposed to know that you are in an inquisitors service yet...

You are should also know that you are on a Navy Destroyer, so you know someone with some pull is working in the background. Next update will be Sunday as normal.



Rarity, it's all good mate. I'll probably slip you in in a couple weeks time. If you have any trouble with creation then PM me. Also keep in mind that there has been a couple changes to creation rules in the updates so get the latest one when you get the rules.

Background:

Orson was the middle child of a rich, upper Hive Family, and like all middle children, was extremely restless and never quite fitted in. His Brothers took after Father. Older Brother would spend his time learning the books, and how to run the Family Business, and Little Brother would spend his time learning the Lasgun, the Tactica Imperialis and His Bolt Pistol to continue the family heritage in the Planetary Defence Force.

Orson, being the small one out of the three, was somewhat ignored by Father, the big bluff man he was, with little black eyes peering out from over a gigantic mustache. But Mother instead spent her time imparting Orson with the love of the God-Emperor; as he grew older, he grew more and more invested into the literature of the God-Emperor; ignoring both schooling and friends, he spent his time debating theology with the local Priests, and handling Missionary work in the Lower Hive.

During a particularly rough night, when the Priests were attacked by local gangers, Orson was shot by a bolter round in the chest; however, as blessed as Orson was, it failed to explode and the surgeons removed it successfully. When he returned, Father declared him pathetic for getting shot without a fight, and Little Brother and his teacher, a man with too much nose hair and little elsewhere, began to teach him the sword so he may learn to defend himself.

However, to the amusement of that old teacher, he found himself much more gifted with the axe. Later that night, Mother laughed and said that Orson was descended from a great warrior, who was the God-Emperor's Executioner and would remove the head of the heretic with an axe. The next morning, Orson found a large Chainaxe in a case at the foot of his bed; it was dark green marble cased, and the teeth of the blade shone with a bloodthirsty malice, and when Orson picked it up, it felt both curiously light and worryingly deadly.

He continued his lessons, eventually learning how to duel with the axe, raising both sneers and eyebrows at the young noble with his unwieldy, ugly and inelegant axe, compared to the more graceful swords of the other nobles. That was, until Orson took the foot off one of the other nobles during a drunken duel. Orson became ostracised, and Older Brother told Orson that the family had lost a lot of respect from his actions, and would he kindly leave before he embarrasses them further?

By his 25th, the Ceremony of Adulthood took place; his Older Brother was already heir to the family legacy, and Little Brother had already served as a Sergeant in the local forces, and seemed quite set to have a life of command in His Glorious Army. So it was with great shock to Father and a sad, but knowing smile from Mother that he announced during his ceremony that he would travel the local sector to spread the word of the God-Emperor, and upon his return, would be accepted into the Priesthood.

That night, he got exceedingly drunk with a stranger, who took his details and promised him a life of adventure and a chance to face the enemies of Mankind, which Orson drunkenly accepted, claiming that he would be the next Sebastian Thor, making the stranger laugh. "I'll just let a friend know you're interested."

With a kiss from Mother, a hug from Little Brother, cold stares from Father and Older Brother, and glares from all else, Orson left on the first shuttle outbound to spread the God-Emperor's word.

That's cool, I trust you. The only thing I would ask of asked would be for you to burn a fate point or skip checking if you got extra but I'll ignore that for some excellent background, I would of given you one for it.

Some additional stuff;
Fit 1.75m/70kg, Ruddy Skin, Black hair, Green Eyes (change or use these as you will)
Physical Quirk, Normally I'd roll for this but you have a prefect one in you're background: Scarred Chest/torso (Bolt Rounds hurt.)
Highborn custom, Count the Blessings: Knowledge of power is power continued; maintaining a ledger of debts and favours helps ensure power is retained and strengthened.
Home world memento, Pilgrimage Token
Background memento, Ball of Feathers (Dice really wanted you to have this.)

Just some extra RP stuff.

I'll possibly throw you in in the next update but we'll see how we go.

Could I alter as follows?

Height: 160cm; he's not a tall fellow, pale skin, black hair, green eyes.
Scarred Chest (Bolt Round)- I like it.
Pilgrimage Token; a small bracelet around his left hand of the Imperial Eagle clutching a broken tooth in it's talons- his Mother's Family Crest.
Ball of Feather- Cloak of Eagle Feathers, gathered from the top of the Hive; a final gift from Little Brother

:D Let me know when I'm needed?

InsaneTD

Those changes are fine. I'll pm you when I introduce you.

InsaneTD

Sorry I can't do a full update today, I can't get to a computer to access my notes and such. So a minor one, which having thought about it, is where I should of left off in the last update. In the mean time, you have a chance to get extra gear. Weapons wise, you can get anything that you currently have the skill for, (assume you have proof of your aptitude) though you won't be given heavy weapons at all. Mister guardsman can try and get grenades but they won't give you more then two total (assuming you pass the test) and they won't give anyone demo supplies. Also keep in mind you are supposed to be investigating, so at least try and be subtle? I know I'm asking a lot there. :P

The Man They Call Jayne

So can I have a Grav Pistol then? :P Will be handy if we run into any heavily armoured foes.
Jaynes Awesome Card Counter: +5

InsaneTD

You don't have the skill for that. (Is it even in the book?)

The Man They Call Jayne

It's a pistol. I can fire a pistol. I was mostly kidding anyway.

I really don't know what I might need. I have a Laspistol which is pretty reliable, easy to maintain and the packs can be recharged by putting them in a fire.

Will I have the ability to use out of battle Pyromancy? Like lighting a fire or a candle? Nothing that has a major impact on the environment or situation.

I don't see why not. If you were trying to be showy or doing something that takes a lot of control then I'd say a test but lighting a fire with dry wood or lighting a lho-stick wouldn't need one. And a gravity pistol would be an exotic weapon and you'd need weapon pro (gravity pistol). :P




Sorry I haven't updated today, couldn't get on the computer long enough. I'll do it in the next couple days and get it up.

InsaneTD

Have an update boys and crazy pyro who'll find a way to die in the first fight. Or come damn close anyway. :P

So Fantasy Flight is extending the Beta and doing a massive overhaul of the rules. Since it's going to be such a massive change, we'll stick with the rules we have and house rule anything we find that works poorly or is just stupid.

More info here; http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4361




Argh. So I'm changing the day I do updates. It will either be on Wednesdays or Fridays in the future. In the mean time, you guys can chat a bit more and decide what you are going to do next. You can check out the addresses (Tell me which one), chat with the Adminastratum contact, try and find equipment for those that failed on the station (Military grade stuff is heavily restricted so an extra -20 to get it AFTER you find someone who can supply it) or something you can come up with. Let me know, either here or in character  and I'll do the update. Also, a fate point each if you don't split the group up.
