    Default [M] Warhammer 40K: The Replicants - recruitment and OOC

    Rated M for distressing situations, violence, and potential language and drug references.

    Spoiler: Prologue 


    Hi everybody, and welcome to my second attempt at GMing on RPA. This story takes places within an existing continuity (that of SandQueen's A Wash Of Black series) but is set several years earlier and is not related to the original storyline. As such, characters old and new are both welcome.

    RULES

    You all know the standard RPA rules so I won't repeat them here, but there are a couple of my own that I'd like to add.

    • Please write all IC posts in third person past tense. That is, "John stood up", never "John stands up" or "I stood up".
    • If you're including another player's text to help put your IC posts in context, please indicate it with a different colour; please don't use quote boxes in the IC.
    • Please leave a message in the OOC thread if you're going to be away for a while. If you run out of inspiration and want to quit that's also fine, but please have the courtesy to let us know that you're leaving so that other players aren't left waiting around for you.


    RP BACKGROUND

    Venatora is an unremarkable system in the Ixaniad sector, Segmentum Obscuras, named after its single habitable planet. The planet itself is a heavily populated Civilised World with healthy trade links to the neighbouring Daargard system and the rather more distant Solomon. It is mostly famous for a bloody war fought in early M37, in which a Necron tomb awakened from the core of the planet's single moon. The highly-advanced xenos quickly overran the lunar outposts and mounted attacks on the planet below. Despite heavy losses, the PDF was able to hold the line until reinforcements arrived from Daargard. When they appeared they were unexpectedly joined by an Eldar fleet, believed to originate from craftworld Kaelor. Though unexpected and uninvited, the Eldar assisted the Imperial Navy in bombing Venatora's moon into gravel, reducing it to the series of rings that now orbit the planet in its place. The great victory over the surviving Necrons that followed is celebrated on Venatora to this day. Naturally, the histories omit the involvement of the alien Eldar, and the catastrophic climate changes that were only mitigated by the Adeptus Mechanicus deploying massive grav-anchor stations in orbit around the planet.

    Venatora's current tithe grade is Exactis Prima, and as well as the periodic Imperial Guard levy it exports foodstuffs, minerals, and machinery from the many Ad Mech foundries present in the major cities. The current planetary regent of Venatora is governor Malachi Faroven.

    Spoiler: Governor Faroven 


    Your characters are inquisition agents in the employ of inquisitor lord Immanuel Sidonis. Sidonis commands a truly monolithic staff with agents and support personnel active across several sub-sectors, and your character is unlikely to have met him in person. They may however be familiar with some of his subordinates, such as field agent Lawrence Van Der Mir and chief logistician McKenzie von Rousch.

    In the present day (605.M41, six months after the highly-classified Pembroke Incident) your characters are part of a team dispatched to Venatora as part of one of Sidonis' many ongoing operations in the sector: an investigation into the illegal trafficking of alien artefacts. Venatora is one of several worlds the xenotech dealer has been known to frequent and the team have been placed there for a pre-emptive sting operation, managed from afar by one of lord Sidonis' senior agents, interrogator Javid Schafer. Your characters will know Schafer (though not necessarily well), having worked with him before.

    Spoiler: Interrogator Javid Schafer 


    It is a relatively low risk and low priority assignment, but things changed dramatically a couple of weeks ago when orbital relay stations picked up a mysterious signal, emanating from Venatora's supposedly dead sister planet Vitaris. Governor Faroven responded quickly, organising a joint venture with the Ad Mech to send a small explorator mission to investigate the source of the signal. The leader of the team was Aeronautica group captain Conrad Noyer.

    Spoiler: Group Captain Noyer 


    When inquisitor Sidonis and his staff heard about this, they immediately took notice. Suspecting some kind of Necron resurgence, Sidonis dispatched interrogator Schafer to take command of his personnel already on Venatora. He wants the explorator team thoroughly debriefed by his own organisation before any report is made to the planetary authorities.

    Yes, another one. In no way competing though - this will be a very different concept and style to A New Chapter.

    PM me for novelised versions of any of my RPs, or ones that I have participated in. Set by the awesome Karma.

    This just isn't any other one, this is an Azazeal one! Will read through the premise and will draft a character when I have some free time at work.

    Azazeal’s been working on this one for a while. In my experience with his RPs the effort and time has been very well spent.

    Also, Hurrah! Back to GrimDark we go!

    Excellent! There is no rivalry on these boards we are here to have fun and enjoy the vast warhammer and warhammer 40k universe. I plan on joining if you will take me.

    Also if you have an idea for some art work I would be happy to do some for you, I did my signature for my thread, only took me a day or so.

    Haha, thanks for the vote of confidence Jarms. Glad to have you on board once again.

    You're giving me too much credit PaintSerf; it's always my fellow writers that are the lifeblood of my RPs.

    This one won't base the story around ethical issues like The Lesser Evil or Business Is War did - it'll essentially be a straight thriller like Eclipsis. That said, since it's part of a series, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a bit of character study.

    I'd be happy to have you, Moe, and thanks for the offer - I did have a cover picture in mind already (see my sig) but if you want to knock together something with some grim-looking inquisition agents and/or some sinister characters with green lightning in their eyes I'd definitely take a look at it.

    Background:
    Julianus of the family Remus. A family of some renown its sons and daughters having a long standing tradition of attending the Schola Progenium becoming members of the Inquisition, the Commissariat, Adepta Sororitas or the Imperial Guard. For Julianus however he was destined to a life of duty to protect and provide security in the halls of the fortresses of the Inquisition. He has been allocated to several Inquisitors for numerous assignments, tasks which have led him to believe the result of all things falls to the cursed gods and leaving him suspect of rooting out cult activity wherever it be found.

    He was born the sixth child of his generation, his older siblings often left him envious by their own successes or current positions of notably higher standard. His sisters, a Soroitas Hospitalar and a Ordo Xeno Inquisitor, the latter personally requesting his services to merely rub it in. Something that left him wondering if she ever truly grew up or how she even became an Inquisitor in the first place. His brothers two officers of the Guard and a Commissar; the oldest son a man who Julianus no longer considered his brother, having led to the death of another one of his older male siblings.

    His home world, routinely called the First that being it is the capital of the Sector and coincidentally the first to be colonized by man. A high tech system at the back end of the universe, now at war with the Tau Empire as those young xenos continually attempt to expand their sphere. Julianus would have rather signed himself up to the Guard, fighting and dieing for his home, not here, not for family tradition on some far flung backwater he hadn't even heard of.
