Friend of Muse and someone got a word about a black crusade game starting up but still looking for a member to join along. I'd be curious. It seems there's 3 followers of Slaneesh here, so considering following the same path.<br/><br/>I was interested in Psyker, Heretek, and Apostate myself. I am not so much into the Chaos Space Marines, on the grounds of liking being able to slip away into a crowd, probably in a heavy robe but still, vanishing amidst the common people in the Imperium might be a way to survive till you are strong enough to stand on your own even against something of the sort of power like an Inquisitor.<br/><br/>Apostate as a manipulator of the souls seemed most appealing, but its apparently taken, so crossing that off my list.<br/><br/>Psyker would be interesting, I like the supernatural and hence a Psyker seems like a fun choice, but it feels a Psyker would be forever in the shadow of the Sorcerer, so not sure if that's the way to go.<br/><br/>Heretek then, I am not sure how to work it with Slaneeshian. Replacing flesh while seeing the bliss inherent in it ? Would probably include some perverted use of implants to some degree, but not sure.<br/><br/>Okay, there's the negative bit of whine, sorry, just had to get that out and clear to let you see my problems in deciding. Then, the appeal.<br/><br/>-Psyker: A dangerous mind-twisting, heretical<em>artist.</em>Refusing to be<em>chained</em>and<em>dulled</em>to be an Emperor's lapdog, or<em>fuelsource</em>for the Astronomican, this Psyker's powers reach out. Though ultimately wary of the possibility of being torn asunder by the force of the warp that the Psyker calls upon and attempts to use, its still an appealing, interesting concept as such.<br/><br/>Besides, if the foe comes and sees the Sorcerer, identifying a high-risk target, a sneaky Psyker might get a chance to stab them in the back and revealing he's a nasty danger too. The hidden blade seen far too late, though perhaps not as big sorcerous threat as the Sorcerer might be.<br/><br/>Likely aspirant for an immortality, wishing to transcend the limits that age would ravage upon the body and soul, wanting to become eternal, to enjoy the pleasures while cleaving a path down through the blind sheep of the Corpse God to infamy.<br/><br/><em>OR</em><br/><br/>-Heretek with a curiosity for the ultimate question. Why is some tech still forbidden? What lies out there that is so powerful that merely knowing of it costs some people their lives? And why the damnation do some people fear the technology of the alien, its to be learned from, adapted to use, and exploited to its full potential. This Heretek sets aside the 'moral' concerns, devoting his research to unlocking more and more.<br/><br/>As a faithful of Slaneesh, the Heretek would likely hold onto some measure of pleasures, likely to also help out as a support to others, while working on perfecting some creations to push his own agenda in time to the table as well.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>On a side thought, we got 3 Slaneesh men at the time. If no player is uncomfortable with a male player and female character, I might consider that option for the hell of it. I'm a bit wary at playing female characters in general, but a Psyker Witch in particular does give an interesting thought.<br/><br/>Besides, the cool concept of a female harem like the 'corrupt sisters of battle' like that which the Sorcerer character possesses there to the background makes me want to avoid a too similar concept, not wanting to just copy it out, though its a fun fantasy too.<br/><br/>Ah well. I'm still a total outsider. Waiting to hear from Hairy at this point if he minds having a newcomer along.
