Death of a God (OCC, up for dicussion)

This idea started off in this thread so anyone interested may want to have a look there. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=577819&page=23

This is not a definite idea, just an intro i think would be cool this i a discussion so feel free to say you don't like the idea and would prefer such and such... As an explanation this thread is based in the WarHammer 40k universe, its a sort of to end all things thread. I'll tell more after you read below.

______________________________________________

It knew it's mission. it had been told, explained and taught since its birth. It knew all that would be needed and all that might not. It had been created for that sole purpose. It traveled though the darkness of its realm, a black abyss with no lights, no worlds and no stars. A cold, dark place where nothing has substance. It was a lower universe, a universe underneath another, one of light, worlds and stars. In some places these two universes boundaries were thin, thin enough to allow the smallest of its kind passage to the other. It neared one of these places, getting closer to it every second, breaching through it and finding itself in a new darkness. This darkness was different, it had light and warmth. The creature could not see it but could feel its presence, like a weight crushing it. It knew what to expect so did not panic, it moved towards its aim. It avoided the great lights that shone in this universe. It moved quickly, entire systems passing by in the blink of an eye. As it neared its destination it slowed, to avoid ships and other craft that traveled the dark with it. It did not worry about detection, because it was something that could not be sensed or touched, but merely seen. It reached the planet, its task lay on its surface. It moved quickly and silently, sticking to the shadows, getting closer to its aim every second. It arrived at its destination. The Imperial Place.

The Imperial Place was the holiest place in the Imperium. The holiest of holy, the God Emperor sat on the throne in the Palace. To gaze upon the inner sanctums of palace with out permission was punishable by death. The God Emperor was ever watchful, his psychic abilities allowing him to communicate with any of his subjects, anywhere. The throne room was the most guarded room in the universe, none could enter it without the God Emperors permission save for the creature that now stalked the shadows. It killed silently and quickly, traveling through the chamber murdering all, save the one it came for. Some of the guards attempted to open the door of the Throne room, to call for help, but the creatures master was not foolish. He had sent more than one. One by one the room was emptied of life, their blood and guts thrown across the room. In the center of the room, towards the back sat the God Emperor his eyes ablaze with hatred. The creature that had traveled so far, now climbed the steps of the throne. The God Empror opened his mouth for the first time in an age.

'How dare you come to my Throne room and desecrate it with your presence.'

'........ ............ ............'

'You took my sons from me, you gave them to the Chaos, I will kill you myself!' The God Emperor stood up form his throne, ripping off the machinery that had kept him alive for so long. The creature could see it in his breath, it knew without the machine its target would die, but it would take to long for what the creature had in mind. The God Emperor lunged at it, but it was too fast, the Emperor saw this, he tried to use his psychic abilities lashing out across the room. The other creatures fell, returning to the lower universe, it however had been bred for this purpose and it would not fall to such an attack.
It passed though the attack and ran to the Emperor. Its arm lashing out, sticking right though the chest. The Emperor froze for a second, then the creature removed its arm along with the Emperors heart. It bent down and spoke to the Emperor.

'........ ............ ............'

'NO! You will...Not succeed .... my...my people will stop...you.' At that moment the doors to the throne room blew open. Hundreds of Space Marines swarmed the room. They found no sign of the creature that had stood above the Emperor. What they found was the Emperor lying on the steps of his throne, his heart removed. Dear GOD, screamed a billion voices, The God Emperor is dead.

Hello again, so the general idea was that we wanted to see if all the good guys.. Tau, Human and Eldar teamed up to take down the big bad five. Chaos, Dark Eldar, Necrons, Ork's and Tyranids. Even in flexible RP 40K universe, it would be a mighty thing to do. So the general idea was that The God Emperor had to go. Thats what we've got so far. Its all up to you guys now.

Very good i have to say

Thanks very much. Do you think we should do the same as the last thread? With everybody in one unit, or should we have it spread out over different races and such?

Also i forgot to ask?
We will probably RP races?

That would be nice....
also,

Imp.Guard and Space Marines will act separatly of course?
Tiurabo
03-01-2009, 23:42
What if we have a Kill-team comprised of all the races? I'd think we have to have at least one SM, one Tau, One Eldar, and one IG, but who knows, we can always do a bigger campaign.
Mereshka
03-01-2009, 23:46
I call the Space Marine. :D
Cukarica
03-01-2009, 23:48

damn you! xD

IG or Tau for me i dont care,but it would be better to have large scale campaigns as probably someoune wants to be the bad guy.
Tiurabo
03-01-2009, 23:51
I would prefer to do it as a campaign, where our portion of the Second Great Crusade fights for one system at a time, so we can play on a large scale, but not get too spread out. I call Black Templars if we do large scale, but it will be a tiny portion, maybe a hundred Marines. Otherwise, if we do small scale I'll be A Black Templar or an Ork or something.

Can I have the chaos space marines or does that go with space marines?

Do you have to have experiance with Warhammer40,000 to play this?
Tiurabo
03-01-2009, 23:54
Never say that again. Or I will kill you in the name of the God-Emperor, beloved by all.

Just kidding. I would say CSM are definitely playable, especially considering that one (C)SM can tip the balance in a war fought by lesser races.

03-01-2009, 23:54
yes you can have chaos we are RPing the ime after Horus heresy and all the major Crusades...i guess xD
Tiurabo

I would say we should put the year at M42.1, personally. Or M42.0, if you want.

Ok, thanks guys (Hopefully when this thing starts, I won't sound like a complete idiot.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 00:07
Important thing to remember, is that in this kind of setting, nothing(I mean not a damn thing) is set in stone. If you want to dream up a non-canon (insert army type, Chapter Legion, regiment Craftworld what have you), you can. the Emperor just died, so doubly so. We are going completely off the reservation here, so pretty much anything you get wrong universe-wise can be put down to something the characters didn't know or some such. So no worries.

04-01-2009, 00:09
So I can change the armor to pre- Heresy? And I can change legion names?
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 00:10
Three things.

1. Yep, you can be any race you want to be. We should probably keep a minimal on being the bad guys.

2. This is going to be big. I don't know how, but its going to be. Something like all the Traitor legions joining together would be good. I'm thinking a full blown invasion into imperial space?

3. Lexicanum. May we pray that its creator last a long and fruit full life.:p

Also anyone is welcome to join but were not going to be doing any serious RPing for a while. Anything is fair game in my opinion. Maybe we could do something about the creature that killed the Emperor?
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 00:12
So are we going to make random alliances and be able to change legion names?
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 00:14
Like I said, anything goes, anything stays, is all up to us. We could even introduce a Chaos civil war? Just throwing it out there.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 00:14
How about we start with the fact that Terra is about to be consumed? Or did nobody else catch that?
101st paratroopers

Consumed by the traitor legions? Because from what i'm reading its something like that...
Mereshka
04-01-2009, 00:17
Hmm...Just a thought, but I think you should keep the Legions the same. If you want something else I suggest just making a completely new Chapteer.

And, theres pretty much a constant Civil War Fire. None of the Gods like each other, and that goes doubly for the Traitor Legions.

Or of course there is the fun of the two unknown Legions....
101st paratroopers

um... I have a question. Are the traitor legions working together or fighting one another?
Mereshka
04-01-2009, 00:26
Canonically? They fight each other a lot. But, for this RP I believe they will work together.
101st paratroopers

04-01-2009, 00:31
The God Emperor is dead, this could be the first chance for peace in the universe for thousands of years. Or a new chapter for war? If this is going to work I'm thinking this has to be a new chapter.
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 00:31
can I do something like the chaos marines break away from the deamons? Or are the deamons thier gods or something?

are all the space marines old? Like 60-70 years old or are some younger?
Fire Ash and Birth

It would take something big. How about the Chaos gods have found some way to create creatures that can destroy Gods. The Chaos troops have found out and have broken away to form there own chaos or something?

Its your call.
Mereshka
04-01-2009, 00:41
You could always do the ones that went rogue instead of worshipped Chaos. I really think its unlikely they'd pull away from the Daemons. Some, like the Black Legion, are so closely intertwined with Chaos they quite literally couldn't stop.

As for the Primarch thing...I don't think that would be a good idea.
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 00:41
Ok, nevermind. I'll just create a new legion or something.

Cukarica
04-01-2009, 01:19

I think he can't because all of the main storyline Primarchs are either dead,in a life suporter or dying.

04-01-2009, 01:21
Ok, but i thought that they lead the legions
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 01:21
Okay, sorry for leaving after dropping that bombshell.
What I mean is, the Emperor is the only thing holding the gateway to the warp he created when he tried to access the Eldar Webway. He was going to succeed, but Magnus the Red, who is basically the second most powerful psyker ever, contacted him to warn him about Horus, which created holes in his psychic shields, allowing the Daemons to create a portal. The Emperor sealed the gate off, but the only thing holding them out is his power.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 01:33
All Traitor Primachs are either dead(Alpharius or Omegon) or Daemon Princes(Angron Perturabo)
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 05:13
So the gods lead the legions right? What did the primarchs do?
Mereshka
04-01-2009, 05:21
Alright 101, heres how it went. The Emperor (Who at that time refuted being a God) Decided to begin conquering the galaxy and reunite the human race. In order to help him in this endeavor, he created the twenty Primarchs. He then created a legion for each Primarch, using their gene for it. Then, the Chaos Gods scattered the Primarchs across the galaxy, so for a time it was just the Emperor, but he began to find the Primarchs, and when he found them, he gave them command of the Astartes Legion that was created from them. Then came the Horus Heresy, when the greatest of the Primarchs betrayed the Emperor. (Although, to be fair, he was convinced it was for the good of mankind) During the Horus Heresy, and the subsequent wars that followed, the legions lost their legions. Most of them because the Primarch was killed, a couple because they went missing, like Leman Russ (I think, might be Ferass Manus, not sure). And no, they can't be replaced. The Primarchs were as superior to Space Marines as the Space Marines are to normal humans, and they were a one time deal.
Mereshka
04-01-2009, 05:22
Oh, and one more thing. Now, as there are no more Legions, only Chapters, (Cept for Chaos, but we won't go into that right now) They are led by the Chapter Masters.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 12:29
Ferruss Manus was killed by Traitor Primarch Fulgrim, FYI. Leman Russ is wandering space or dead, no one knows.

Also, the Chaos Gods, Khrone, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh can't go into the Materium as far as I know, which is why they use pawns like Horus or Fulgrim, or the Legions. I believe the most recent activity of a Traitor Primarch was Angron attacking Armageddon, and that was before Thraka attacked it the first time.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 13:18
What about Necron help? If the Chaos gods started to a liking to our skeletons in metal suites. There stronger and tougher than normal Chaos marines.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 14:21
Well, as far as I know, the C'tan aren't Chaos-aligned, so they wouldn't ally themselves with the Chaos Gods unless it benefited them directly, which it wouldn't.
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 14:34
So I can create chapters but not legions. Who leads the legions?
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 14:52
I can recruit new marines right? And are females allowed or are all the marines men?
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 15:01
All men, because the gene-seed requires male hormones to function properly, and yes you can. I believe, do not trust this, that they pick out prospectives at around 15-30, and it takes a few years to make a normal man into a Scout, then more to make him into a Space Marine. Also remember that prospectives are almost always warriors or soldiers, and a lot are groomed for it from birth. Another thing if you create your own chapter, it will be small if it's new, five hundred absolute outside. If you create your implants faster, you get more people, but you end up with Blood Angels and Black Dragons, SM's with genetic defects.
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 15:11
Ok, I could make my own chapter to fit into any legion right? And does the armor have to be post heresy?
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 15:12
I have a brilliant idea. Abaddon has united the Traitor Legion for a new crusade, to ensure this works he offers to help the C'tan wake up the C'tan in Mars. They bothe realise for this to work they must attack when the Imperium is at its weakest, so they contact another force (I'm going to keep this one a secret for now.) to help them. The rest is history.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 15:13
Also if you are creating new chapters. then feel free to create them any way fit, but any amour post Heresy is not going to be as strong as normal amour.
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 15:14
Ok, I'm off for now. Thats a great idea.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 15:15
Right, just take your favorite Legion and form out of that one. Remember that your parent-chapter will have a significant impact on your new one. A chapter formed from the Ultra Marines will like blue gold and white, and will focus heavily on standard Astartes strategy and tactics, so RP-wise your characters will get pissy at Black Templars, for instance. A chapter from the Imperial Fists will be all about siege and defense, but also will sneer at White Scars because of their hit-and-run.

Point is, do your research.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 15:17
For me it would have to be the Blood angels. Must study!

Remember, we have to have diversity, we can't all be SM.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 15:23
Good point. Plus we can be different races. I might choose a Tau Chapter (Don't know what they call them.). Maybe even mix and match, like the Tau but in SM type amour. Not the same but new.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 15:25
That'd be Crisis Suits, I think. I dunno much about aliens, except Orks. I'm willing to play Black Templars, Imperial Guard, and Orks, if need be, but I'd much rather play BT.

04-01-2009, 17:40
Sure we'll help, I am right now. You can't create a new Legion, there are only the twenty. What you would do is create a new Chapter, and if you were going to be CSM it would be corrupted by Chaos, or just traitors, in which case they would remain normal SM, without the "powurz of Kaoz". Or, you could have them split off from a Legion, in which case I dunno what you'd call them.

Star Child Theory

The Star Child Theory has two aspects: the first is that the Emperor's soul is currently forming as a new entity (the Star Child) in the warp and that he will be reborn, and the second is that the Emperor had children.

Over the almost 40,000 years that the Emperor walked amongst mankind he formed many families and fathered children. A few of his descendants have inherited the powers of the Star Child. These are the Sensei. A hidden group that call themselves the Illuminati know the Emperor is failing. They also know of the Fall of the Eldar and seek to prevent man's own fall to Chaos. The Fall of Man to Chaos would create a new Chaos god, and with its birth, a new warp/real space overlap, encompassing the entire Imperium. They gather the Sensei together, protect them from Inquisition, and pave the way for the rebirth of the Emperor. Their plan is ultimately to sacrifice the Sensei to the Emperor at the moment the Emperor finally fails; he will be renewed, and be reborn as the Sensei-Emperor to again lead his race in person.

While the Star Child background was originally introduced in the original 40K version, and dismissed as heretical in 3rd edition, the current Inquisition's Thorians believe in a remarkably similar concept.
Cukarica
04-01-2009, 18:03
Another Theory...

Leman Russ new Emperor?

Years passed after the Horus Heresy. Russ at a great feast with his Chapter in attendance stood and said "In the end I will return. For the final battle. For the Wolf Time." and left the Fang along with the 13th Company into the Eye of Terror. The tale of his disappearance is retold every thousand years by the Dreadnought Bjorn the Fell-Handed, the oldest dreadnought still in service. He is said to have served with Russ ten thousand years before. Every once in a while, the Space Wolves embark on what is called the Great Hunt, where they search the galaxy for their missing leader. Though they have searched far and wide, they still haven't found any sign of their Primarch Leman Russ.
Tiurabo

That's the End Time. This isn't going to be the final battle, as far as I know, we're just fighting to hold off this huge invasion.

So, how old is everyone and how can they be that old? Genetic mutation?
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 18:21
Rich people live a long time because they get rejuvenation therapy, which is stuff like age reducing drugs, plastic surgery, other stuff. Inquisitor Eisenhorn lived for something like two centuries, I believe. Marines can technically live forever, but no one has ever survived war long enough to test it. see above for how long Dreadnoughts can stay alive.
101st paratroopers
04-01-2009, 18:23
So, marines are recruited all the time right?
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 18:27
In a Codex Chapter, Scouts are elevated when Marines die, then they get more trainees to become scouts and so on. For Chapters like Black Templar, recruiting is always going on. Makes you wonder how they have more than 7000 suits of armor.
Fire Ash and Birth

The problem is that the Sensi weren't there when he died. There only hope would be to recover his heart, to figure out a way to bring some life back into the emperors body.

As for Leman Russ, maybe not at the begging, but he is bound to make an appearance, something as powerful as the emperor dieing would reach the notice every psychic in the universe.

What about the Eldar gods. The Murder god is still alive, if he were to become whole, things would be very bad.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 18:44
To sum up what we've got so far.

The Emperor is dead, probably caused by an alliance between the Chaos and the C'Tan and some other force (I'm going to keep it a secret for now.). Around the same time the new alliance launches a crusade into imperial Territory, their main objective in reaching the Sol system.

The Chaos is headed by Abaddon, who has reunited the Traitor Legions, with the objective of reaching Holy Terra. The C'Tan are, well, Ctan and they are planning to reach Mars to awaken one of the last C'Tan.

In a side note, aren't the C'Tan gods created from the power of stars. So the Star Child prophecy would make the death of the emperor a huge concern?

There's so many ways this could easily go bad, I think we need to focus on how we get all the gang to work together.

Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 18:51
That would be LOL. In a serious note, Tiurabo is right. How do we get them all to work together. For the Eldar, it would be that they can't allow the Chaos any more territory, for the Tau maybe an attack from the Necrons?

Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 18:54
Even I would be hard pressed even thinking of that idea. The Inquisition would have everybody kill before that. Heresy and all that. Plus CSM are traitors and SM would give any chance to kill all if them.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 19:14
Ah, thank you. And the CSM+SM thing...That's one of those things you don't say, or I kill you. There is no possible way. I guess you don't understand the gravity of that situation. It is ten THOUSAND years later, and people still remember the Heresy as the most vile betrayal in the history of Man. To do anything other than kill a Chaos Marine on sight would be heresy in itself, and whoever wouldn't would be fallen to Chaos anyway. It just doesn't happen.

Yeah with emperor dead, things are going to get slow. How about we go find that map of the Webway?

Is everybody ok with this being how we unite the Good guys.
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 20:00
Seems to me that the Tau would join up because Hive fleet Leviathan is about to take them down. I guess we could just do that later, if we do it campaign-style. I'd prefer to do it with a broader view than the other WH40k RP, where we RP overall and also RP important characters.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 20:01
Sounds good to me. Shall we do it in separate threads or one?
Tiurabo
04-01-2009, 20:03
I'd think we should have an overall thread and a close in thread. The close in thread would die once the RP was finished, but the Overall would remain until we need a new one just because it was too big. If the RP lasts that long.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 20:06

Sure. How do you want to go about it? I think we sorta unofficially elected you the leader of this whole project, so its your say.
Fire Ash and Birth
04-01-2009, 23:48
I Think we should organize the thread into chapters. So for the first part, its all about The Emperors death. we all chose characters and that lot too go through that chapter. The next chapter is about the first moves in the invasion and how a groups of characters go on an epic journey to resurrect the Emperor. The third should bring about the alliances and the fourth should bring us into the end game.
Mereshka
04-01-2009, 23:50
Sounds about right to me. It will also give us time to set our plans in stone for how it will all work out. You want to have a sign up?

Sure, but I have too get off soon, so if its ok I'll leave you in charge of that?

*Shrugs* Go ahead. So will the first chapter take place during the Emperor's assasination, or shortly thereafter?

Name: Brother-Initiate Garret Tiurabo (Yes I did.)
Chapter: Black Templars.
Height: 7' 5"
Weight: 250 lbs., approx.
Age: 136.
Short Bio: Born on the planet Seville Prime, of the same system, and was chosen by the local Chapterhouse for selection by the Black Templars at the age of twenty, after serving in the PDF for four years. Passed selection testing with marked degrees of skill, and went on to become Neophyte to Brother-Initiate Imbolg Kelvorn, serving with him in the Second War of Armageddon until Kelvorn decided him worthy of service as a Battle Brother of the Chapter. Proceeded to win honours for his Lord Castellan's House, defeating several Ork Nobz by himself and one prominent warboss in single combat. This led to weakenings in the brittle Orkish command system, allowing Steel Legionnaires to penetrate deep into enemy territory. Tiurabo prefers, as do most Templars, the use of a sword and pistol to a bolter, and wields a power sword recieved directly from now Sword Brother Kelvorn.

Other prominent engagements:
Fought on Nimbosa against the Tau, and on Hyrsk IV against an invasion of the Great Enemy. Helped put down a rebellion on Ivor III, single-handedly killing the heretic Governor who instigated it. Fought in other, less mentionable Crusades across the Imperium, and is currently being considered for acceptance into Marshal Crandall's Sword Brethren.

We've got a CSM and a Space Marine, that's it. Would prefer it if you didn't take a Space Marine, but we're all Imperial for now.

05-01-2009, 01:57
Um... Can you tell me the leader of the black legion and the chaos marines?
Tiurabo
05-01-2009, 02:28
Abbadon the Despoiler, Horus's second in command. He despises Horus because he sees him as being weak since he failed. Also, are you sure you want to play a ten thousand year old CSM? That might be difficult for someone who...ahem...doesn't have a good grip on the 'verse?

We're not doing it by race for this first thread, so feel free to choose whatever the hell you want. Oh, and don't be Abaddon. Hes sort of central to the storyline, and last I checked was taken by either me or Fire. Not sure which really.

He was later sent to Schola Progenium to be introduced into a normal Kasrkin squad,which he finished with high grades.
Later as a part of the 421st Shock troop's he showed great heroism as he defended a hill that was overlooking the entire regiments flank with only twelwe men,when all of his comrades died he took two bolters and started firing at the lines of Orks,he was keeping them off and was cutting down line after line,but soon an improvised orkish missile exploded close to him and knocked him uncounciouss.He was later rescued by another platoon who arived just in time to reinforce his platoon's lost position.
For that deed he was the Second Imperial Guardsmen to recieve Order of Ollanius Pius medal,for his great deeds.
In later campaigns he fought against many enemies like Tau,Eldar,Tyranids,Heretics,Chaos,and in a battle against Dark Eldar he fouht with valor and recieved Crimson medal,a nice add to his Ollanius Pius medal.Also he was promoted to a Sergeant of a Kasrkin veteran squad and was removed from his regiment as the best of them,recent event have knocked him out of his balance but he was summoned by the Imperium's High Lords for a special task.

Perhaps this would be a good place for Lion El Johnson to re appear into the pages of the Dark Angels history? The emperor has fallen, the empire of man teeters on the brink of total collapse, Terra is threatened by direct assault for the first time since the Horus Heresy, and the chapter which is still trying to absolve itself for allowing its members to slip into the folds of chaos come rushing to sol in their fortress with the Lion appearing just when all seems lost.

08-01-2009, 23:06
If you guys are still looking for a way to bring the good guys together then all you gotta do is look at the history of the necrons and the eldar, and see how they overlap. So the Eldar, knowing what the full reprocussions of the necrons reawaking the ctan god on mars would be, would approach the humans in some way. The tau would be hard because they consider the other races inferior and stuff, but I guess if they were in the way of the baddies they could be forced to forge an alliance with the good guys.

With the bad guys it would be a little more difficult. First of all even if this is non cannoical, you have to remember that the reason the Ctan were put into stasis in the first place is because the gods started eating each other due to the gold ones (cant remember the name) trickery, so they dont really even get along to well together. And then there is the necron and chaos feud which is basically only around because the necrons only purpose is to eradicate life from the universe to feed the Ctan. Also, if there is a Ctan god on mars, then it should have a quite sizeable force of necrons already there. And since I play with Necrons when I do play, they have a specific way they deploy their forces when they awaken, so you may want to look into that if someone decides to play them. Anyhow, back to the topic at hand, I think the best way to have all the baddies "ally" would basically be keeping out of each others way, until they have no choice but to meet, and then have a series of battles fought out between themselves simply because of the fact that they are considered the bad guys of the universe and each are pretty stubborn in their ways. The only bad guys who I could invision working together even remotely would be chaos and the dark eldar, since the dark eldar have a branch that worships slaneesh.

Just my thoughts on the matter though, Hope they help.

Hello! Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but my computer blow up. Go figure.

Anyways here is my character.

Name: Golokt'a Singus
Chapter: Inquisitor.
Height: 5'8 "
Weight: 180 lbs.
Age: 50.
Bio: Born on the planet Terra, he was destined for greatness, joining the Space Marines. Personally leading the charge to capture the Folgroth fort, personally lowering the Imperial flag on one of the conquered Chaos worlds and first though the breech in the greatest Necron battle. Thats where it all goes wrong for him. Captured by a Chaos cult, and tortured for six years. During this time his legs were broken, most of his teeth removed, his hand burnt to a crisp and several of his toes removed. He spent much of that time also in a tightly cramped room, with hardly any room to move, he developed a crouch in the way he walked and atharites. He was very unhero like during his time there, telling his captors anything they wanted to hear, to make the pain stop. It is for that reason, when he was rescued he was punished. His punishment was that he would never receive any implants or regeneration to help ease the pain. In hindsight it almost seems Ironic that he later choose to join the inquisition and has been torturing people for the last eight years to root out heresy in the Imperium.
