Blurred Lines might run at the same time or be put on the back burner depending on how keen people are on writing two stories at once.

Wouldn't bother me.

Driver - depends on how much the Leman Russ is her defining "thing". Because while I can definitely see the opening scene of Blurred featuring a tank, it would be difficult to fit one in through the rest of the story (same goes for Prophet and Penitence).

Well I'd say her Leman Russ would be more of a background detail rather than an in-game element. She's a vehicle op, with experience in all manner of Imperial war engines from the humble Sentinel to the Chimera, to the Leman Russ. With stints in driver, gunner and loader positions. When out of vehicle she'd offer CQC support with her las-PDW and smoke grenades.

Sniper - would be useful in Penitence, as the heretic we'll be chasing is also a sniper.

Interesting, so he'd be placed into a search and counter scenario?

Scribe - I can see her being useful in Prophet, as the secondary mission objective is evidence gathering.

Noted. Though the more I think of it, she's more of a niche character. More-so to explore how the Imperium, more specifically the Inquisition, disregards and classifies history, falsifying detailed account and forcing revision. So in the end of the game, if she were to make an appearance, I'd see her reports being blacked out and herself being forced to write an alternate truth.

And like I said before Hybrida would be awesome in any of the three.

Oh, he's definitely making an appearance. He'd most likely start in Prophet being a member of interrogator Machairi's staff? It depends on how you organize the game I suppose. But yes, he'd most likely piss Remus and/or Kally off, thanks to her hive-gang past, which might be humorous.

Three? I was only familiar with the two. Penitence is the sequel after Prophet, whilst Blurred Lines will be independent?

When out of vehicle she'd offer CQC support with her las-PDW and smoke grenades.

I thought that might be the case, it's just that most of the stories will be set in "vehicle unfriendly" environments such as jungles, ruins, buildings and starships. That said, I managed to sneak a cargo sentinel into Lesser for Viktor so if you want to play her, I'll find a way!

Interesting, so he'd be placed into a search and counter scenario?

Precisely. Though he'll get to do all sorts of other stuff too to stop things getting stale.

There will certainly (hopefully...) be a vibe of "Did we do the right thing?" at the end of Prophet, even if they don't directly start rewriting history. Though again, I'm sure I could throw that in for you (it sounds like the sort of thing Lord Sidonis would do).

I'd be quite happy for him to be Machairi's sidekick. I'm going to outright state in the OOC that I don't mind people running an old character and introducing a new one, because that was one of the most frustrating limitations for me personally in the original series.

Three? I was only familiar with the two. Penitence is the sequel after Prophet, whilst Blurred Lines will be independent?

Penitence jumps forward five years to continue the original storyline left hanging by SandQueen's Kaleidoscope, but otherwise correct.

Blurred will be happening around the same time as Replicants and in a similar area of space, though the story is unrelated and I'd prefer there to be no common characters (although you're welcome to reference other characters if your PCs know them).

Background:
Mathew Jacktious, born on Cadia, to Kasr Eaghton. A fortress city of little renown, along the Cadian grain belt. His family were simple farmers and weekend reserves - to be called upon in the case of planetary attack. He grew tired of the life, the military schools recognized his natural ability to command. He accepted their offer, joined the Cadian Defense Force and graduated officers school a year later.

He served with distinction, quickly rising through the ranks. When came the annual tithes, his regiment was drawn into the Cadian 1010th army group. Transit lasted sixteen weeks, where they underwent a grueling training regime and local language courses. The Imperial Navy cleared them a landing zone and void corridor as their vessel approached for planet fall. The landing operation went better than expected, local resistance was minimal and he assisted with the erection of army group command.

His parent regiment was tasked with the capture of the planetary capital, where they faced fierce resistance. He suffered numerous wounds during the course of the campaign, yet it seemed little would tear him away from his men. By the end of the reclamation his company had suffered an effective combat loss of 68%; 72% of that number KIA.

His family were members of the local audit services, compiling and conducting financial inspections, in an attempt to combat local corruption. The grain regions were known for frivolous trade contracts, often at the detriment to Imperial buyers. Degrey attended church schooling, learned the words and numbers at an extremely young age. An enlightened child, quick to learn and quick to make friends.

He joined his families business when he graduated with honours. Though the work was tiring and he felt little in the way of achievement. Often his only escape were the weekend reserves, where he enjoyed the field operations and simulated war. He left home a year later, signing up to the local PDF, attending officers school where he was welcomed with open arms. He graduated with honours, another degree under his belt.

The war on Telfus was his proving grounds, his trial by fire. Some say he served admirably, others questioned his methods. He was conservative, always with the attempt to spare men and supplies. His own calculation, doing the math before every theater, trying to predict the course of battle. His glory came during the siege of the Telfus' capital. Where his platoon fought room to room, building to building. Bringing down connecting walls and breaching, they hold the company record in this engagement. Successfully clearly twenty-five buildings in a single day.

By the end of the reclamation his platoon suffered an effective combat loss of 46%; 51% of that number KIA.

I don't issue those orders, Commissar, I just work here. I couldn't care what's around that corner. As I recall we just rolled in here, worked our asses off for this ground and you fly in on one of those damned whirlybirds expecting us to throw ourselves into the grinder. I'm waiting for the order from the Captain. There's a smarter way to do this, like send the marines in first, bullet sponges we'll call 'em, they're wearing that heavy armor.

She holds this against many of her peers, often seeing herself in higher light thanks to her experience.

During the siege of Telfus' capital, her grenadier platoon spearheaded several city street assaults. Under the cover of smoke and shielded by the tanks of second armoured they stormed roadside positions and accompanying buildings. Their platoons kill count is unknown, but it is assumed to be the highest in the company. Katherlin herself risked her life to save a dozen wounded guardsmen from the field, she broke cover using her superior armour to shrug off small arms and dragged the men back into safety.

She suffered numerous wounds during the course of the campaign. During the final hours of the siege, lieutenant Katherlin shot the army groups commissar for incompetence, she awaits trial. Her fate is debatable. Captain Jacktious recommends victors justice, pardoning her for her crimes. Others say she deserves execution.

Appearance:

[img][/img]

The man was card player, he played his chips and when he played, he played to win. The captain was dead and command had fallen to him, his CO was foolhardy, someone who believed in leading from the front. What had that gotten him? A dozen lasbolts to the chest that's what.

Born on the planet of Telfus, he joined the PDF at the age of 18. He willingly accepted the Tau occupation and their ideology. He reported on his peers, sending those who still supported the old Imperial ideals. What became of them, he could not say. Though, those that returned were different men. Under the Tau they were prosperous, well feed and treated better than their ex-Imperial leaders.

By the time of Imperial reclamation efforts, he and his platoon were charged with the defense of the capital. The street fighting was brutal, bloody and drawn out. His company level CO was killed in action and the good lieutenant assumed command. Come the later days of fighting he found himself receiving a field promotion, the now captain continued coordinating the cities defense until their final defeat. The Tau had withdrawn, they were alone. Their guns falling silent only when they ran out of ammunition, when the Imperials stormed his building they fought back with bayonets and shovels.

None of them survived, captain Solvo was killed in action.

More minor characters to be added later...

The sequel to Penitence (yes, I have planned that far ahead...) looks like a good place for this bunch...

The sequel to Penitence (yes, I have planned that far ahead...) looks like a good place for this bunch...

How many of them do you want, the entire Army Group? Hahaha. If they were brought back to full strength or shuffled into another force, then you're looking at nearly half a million in strength. That post above yours, is going to be maybe another 2-3 minor characters from RPs that never really took off.

[Azazeal849]

A regiment should be more than enough - a high level leader and some "front line" characters to capture all levels of the conflict would be ideal.

[Jarms48]

Hmm. I wasn't expecting the army group to be a key part of the RP, more a background detail. It might bring with it the army groups senior officer as a character, though other than that, the IC would revolve around the single regiment (well two if you want both Captains, or at least her company from said regiment).

[Jarms48]

Bump, as this is now relevant again.
