We helped toss ideas out and about to help you succeed with that character concept. Like what was said in earlier posts, Servitors and Servoskulls are what the 40K universe uses instead of the robots, AI, and droids of Star Wars and other universes. They are have more meat and bones rather than being completely copper and titanium.<br/><br/>Adeptus Sororitas are basically "slutty nuns in power-armor" or "slutty nuns with massive chainswords and paper pasties and underwear" (I dont know how else to describe them)<br/><br/>I am unfamiliar with Ordos Familius (warhammer 40k likes to through in crazy words) but Im assuming they are bureaucrats and pencil-pushers.<br/><br/>As far as age goes, everything from 16 year-olds to 500 year-olds are acceptable. For those with access to the technology, the standard and length of life is fantastic, and apply to space marines, planetary governors and the obscenely rich. Most books and subject matter in the 40k universe deal with characters who are centuries old but that is a <strong>MATTER OF FLAVOR</strong>.<br/><br/>There are also many books and sanctioned short stories in the 40k universe (like "Eisenhorn" and "Ravenor") that deal with regular run of the mill humanity that doesn't have access to that kind of tech. You may like the fact that there is a short story in <em>"Let the Galaxy Burn"</em> that is about a 16 year old psyker named Prudence who lives on a hive world.<br/><br/>I guess what Im trying to get at is that we aren't (or shouldn't be) stiffling your ideas. We bring up certain factors (like tight spaces and hard radiation) because they are a part of that world and to help you address those factors (servitors and a protective suit) to help make your character believeable in this universe. <br/><br/>Do not feel sad about not knowing much about this universe. There is a TON of material (like that 300 page "cliff note" posted earlier) and it is not any easier to digest with crazy words like Astartes, Astrotelepathica, Ordos, Tyranid, Xenos, et cetera.<br/><br/>I hope that helps.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>okie dokie. accepted. the bio works, avorn would certainly have jumped at the chance to get a imperial psyker ^^.<br/><br/>though i should point out that Sororitas are<em>not</em>slutty. they are buff, scarred, fanatical soldiers, most of who would ram a flamer up your ass and pull the trigger if you dared to proposition one of them.... mind you, there are exceptions, i know there was a relaxed sororita in one of cain's books, who drank and boinked and gambled and so on. and they have no vows of chastity or anything like that,<br/><br/>but most are too busy being religious and military to have time for relations, though i imagine one on a rogue trader will be of the more-relaxed sort ^^
