				Been reading up on the Maw that connects the Drusus Marches (Calixis, Lower Left) and Koronus Expanse via Port Wanderer.

				So, given the sandbox approach I'd like to try here, what sort of stuff would people like us to do? In terms of background, we may have a variety of potentially conflicting interests, but hopefully we can work up a few storylines that everyone can get involved in. Getting a Khornate character to work on a scheme that would be of benefit to just the Slaaneshi character could be tricky (to say the least :) ) but that's why I wanted to get everyone involved.<br><br>Here's a few ideas of the sort of stuff I could see us doing ...<br><br>Eliminating rivals - The Rogue Trader / Pirate Prince has a particular rival they want disposed off. Killing them would be fine, taking over their minions even better<br>Artifacts - Rumour is carried of a particular artifact of interest to one (or more) of the characters. Of course, it won't be a simple matter to find it.<br>Destruction of Imperial infrastructure - Leave a Cardinal crucified on his pulpit. Blow up an Arbites station. Wipe out an IG outpost. Detonate a bomb in the Administratum and wipe out years worth of records. Symbols of the Imperium, struck down to show that they are not all powerful.<br>Spread corruption and forment rebellion<br>Make deals with Dark Eldar to raid Imperial worlds and shipping<br><br>There's lots of things we can do.<br><br>What would you like to do?

				Well, the Plaguemother wants to spread the blessings of Nurgle far and wide, but she's patient. All will come to him in the end, after all.<br>Still, the spreading corruption and destroying infrastructure through widespread plagues is kinda her thing.<br>Or turning the Trader's rivals into victims of her special brand of the zombie plague. She'd be happy with that, too.

				Infect the rivals bulk foodstuff delivery with an enspelled time delayed zombie plague. She gets to spread disease, the rival gets the blame. Slaaneshi helps 'persuade' the governers aide to let the Rogue Trader take over the charter (and possibly the rivals ship / crew) to prevent further disruption. Ideally we should be able to further several characters goals at once :)

				Trader/Pirate have a common enemy in one of the Traders Siblings, went on to join the Imperial navy, taking the Traders strongest ship to ensure a good fast promotion, and annihilated the Pirates fleet with it. Conflict at first, but the knowledge of a common enemy and their strength in combining forces brought them together.. Though, there are still issues on just who is in charge..<br><br>Destruction of Imperial Infrastructure: ppffft.. Thats all thinking small... <br>Capture the Cardinal and his retinue, take his SoB body guard as slave and trophy, corrupt and drive him insane leaving him nothing more then a mutated slathering beast to be let loose in his cathedral, waiting for supplicants to arrive for prayer.. <br>Rather then just blow up the arbites, deliveries of chems and other supplies that have been innoculated with Slaugh and Frenzon that have been tainted by Khorne from the berserkers blood, watch as brutal attacks by them go up on the unwitting civilian population sewing distrust.&nbsp; <br>Let the Nurgleite Sisters deliver medical supplies to the Guard tainting them with a horrible disease, and watch as they have to fight through quarantine spreading the plague. <br>At the Administratum unleash a Tzeentchian process daemon into the cognitors, watch as the adepts go insane finding their files and systems being rewritten, the words and numbers on books rewriting themselves into obscene and eldritch patterns, tithe records are reversed, and new harsh laws suddenly find their ways into the books..<br><br>And Screws to dark eldar. They wont fall properly, and to likely to try and betray us.. instead? The Tau. Approach them with an "interest" in the Greater Good, dispatch a number of our troops to be recruited into the gue'vesa ranks and begin corrupting them. Provoke war between the tau and imperials, discretely wiping out targets of opportunity on both sides (Tau tech is powerful, rare, and expensive, always good for fast raids that will leave people suspecting the wrong aggressor, and selling for extra capital) until can overwhelm and take over the system ourselves, claim the tau ships and goods, ship off the remaining xenos as exotic slaves tothe chaos worlds for a show of what the True Greater Good is.

				Except for raiding (at least for its own sake), I could see Sekhess being strongly behind any of the other options. Interested in seeing the growth of the other characters, along with himself, spreading corruption and building a power base from which to strike from would probably be the go-to options. <br><br>Destroying Imperial infrastructure is of course nessecary to make room for the grand Shrines of Chaos, so getting the that out of the way early wouldn't be the worst thing. #JustWordBearerThings<br><br>Striking deals with Dark Eldar will likely be more difficult, since Slaanesh is always hungry for their souls and even they have the sense to stay far away from anything Slaaneshi related.<br><br>

				Would the Rogue Trader be involved in the Cold Trade (selling xenos artifacts to nobles with more money than sense)? If so, we take a little trip into the Screaming Vortex pick up a bunch of chaos tainted weird things, and sell them on. No idea what they do, but it will be fun seeing what happens (from orbit ;) )<br><br>The Calixis sector I don't think is located in the same segmentum as the Tau, but I expect there are other xenos races could be made use of.

Then they request 77 Tau of each caste to be sent as 'cultural observers', including seven ethereals. The ethereal bit is turned down, but the other Tau are sent along to see where their new friends live. Later, the Tau ship in reserves from another world and are clearing the last strongholds of the 'nids, and the DE forces that join them include the heavily mutilated and physically warped wrack and grotesque troops. Which, the Tau realize after the battle, looked awfully Tau-y ... <br>Then the Dark Eldar ask for those seven ethereals (or seven thousand and some other Tau) and are refused. <br>And then, almost immediately, the planet that those reserves came from is attacked. By the time the Tau get back there, every single Tau on the planet is gone (and the non-Tau auxiliaries are left arranged in sigils and symbols that can be seen from space).

				Ok so, expressed interest in the interest thread, found out that there's still space. AND have narrowed it down to <del>three</del> <span class="bbc_u">two</span> character concepts. That having been said, I'm pretty torn between them. Anyone have an idea which would fit better? <br><br>1. A traitor guardsman. Basically the Chaotic equivalent the 'lucky guardsman' you always see pop up in a lot of 40k stories. You know the guy... the one who isn't some elite Cadian or super hardened Catachan, but instead just some dude from wherever with no real discernible reason why he should be special. Yet somehow he still manages to survive when everyone else dies and pull of some pivotal act. Basically think of Guardsman Hawk from Storm of Iron except in the service of Chaos. <br><br>OR<br><br><del>2. A rogue psyker/mutant of some kind. Someone out for anarchy and revenge against those who sought to chain &amp; kill him simply for his gifts/being born. </del><br><br>Anyone have thoughts/input? <br><br>EDIT- Decided on the traitor guardsman!<br>

				Yeah, I've always found the 'just a lucky soldier' concept to be a fun one in stories. Opens up for bits of unexpected humor/amazing feats of WTF-ness. If I do go with him then I'm not sure if I want to play him as recently converted or as having fallen to Chaos a good time ago. <br><br>With regards to the psyker he'd be someone who isn't yet a devotee of Chaos and more just one of those who have turned to it for lack of there being any other options.

				Ok, might have gotten a little carried away with his bio but here's the basic concept for who I'm thinking my guy will be. Would love to hear any comments/criticisms. Also if anyone wants to have had a history or previous interactions with him just let me know and we can figure something out. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Orin</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/221/3/3/discipline_issues_by_rilez75-d6hchfc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Orin <br><strong>Alignment:</strong> Undivided<br><strong>Age:</strong> 26<br><strong>History: </strong> Born and raised on the hive world of Belka, Orin was never what one could call a faithful person. Granted he did attend Ecclesiarchy services once a week, as was expected, and did his best to maintain a public image of being a man of faith. In private however he was never really sure he believed in the teachings of the Ecclesiarchy, nor even in The Emperor himself. As the years of fruitless labor in one of Belka's many manufactorums went on and on, what little faith Orin did have in The Emperor was slowly ground down into nothing. It was at this point that Orin, quite by accident, came across the teachings of Chaos. One night on his way back home from the manufactorum Orin noticed a small book on the ground. Overcome by curiosity he picked it up and took it home. Once safely home he opened it and began to read, the book contained the heretical words of an apostate minister who spoke of the glory and rewards to be found from worshiping Chaos. For a man who's previous faith had been all but erased, the words coming from the apostate preacher's writings made a lot of sense to Orin. It wasn't long at all before Orin found himself having finished the book, and shortly after he was secretly worshiping the Chaos Gods. <br><br>More recently Orin found himself drafted into becoming a guardsman in one of Belka's Imperial Guard regiments, The 'Fighting' 42nd to be exact. The 42nd was mustered and deployed in response to an incoming Ork threat rising against the neighboring planet of Hadrian IV. On the journey to Hadrian IV Orin was made a squad leader during basic training, due to having been a work gang leader in the manufactorum on Belka. Once the 42nd reached Hadrian IV Orin and his squad were lucky enough to be stationed within Hive Garner, a hive city which was far behind the initial front lines of the greenskin assault. It was because of this that Orin and the other members of his squad managed to avoid the deaths that many other guardsmen found on the first day of the Ork onslaught, when it was revealed that due to a clerical error somewhere within the Departmento Munitorum the number of forces sent to Hadiran IV were vastly inferior to what was required to repel the Orks. Needless to say the war for Hadrian IV quickly turned into an all out disaster as the Ork tide broke the Imperial lines and quickly overran the planet. Hive Garner was one of the last strongholds to fall to the Orks, though once the city was surrounded it's nobility were quick to seek other places of shelter. <br><br>At this time Orin's squad was assigned to security detail within one of Hive Garner's many starports. For three days Orin and his sqaudmates were forced to watch as the few remaining wealthy and powerful citizens of Hadrian IV fled the dying hive city and left it's defenders to die. On the fourth day the Orks were confirmed as having reached the same level of Hive Garner as the starport and things within the port reached a fever pitch. What few nobles and merchants, that had yet to flee the hive now all sought to depart at the same time. Established departure and service ques were ignored as each man and woman of influence demanded to be the first to have their shuttle prepared, to be the first granted flight clearance, to have repairs on their shuttle given priority. It wasn't long until the first shots rang out, until some noble lord or rogue trader's personal guards opened fire on another's in an attempt to secure the use of a servitor or force their way onto a shuttle. Within moments the entire port was alive with small skirmishes, tiny pitched battles for cargo, for fuel, for the chance to lift off. <br><br>Orin took this as a sign from the Dark Gods. Now was his chance to break free of the Imperium's grip, to set out on the path of truly serving Chaos! Just after Orin's squad was ordered to leave it's barracks within the spaceport and help re-establish order Orin told his squad-mates of his faith in Chaos. he preached to them of how it was high time that they looked to themselves rather than the selfish unworthy nobility all in the name of serving a rotting corpse on some far off planet. Surprisingly, almost half of the ten man squad actually agreed with Orin, their own belief in the emperor having been shaken by the defeats suffered thus far. However, those within the squad who remained loyal to the Imperial Creed saw it as their duty to purge the heretics among them. The next several minutes saw the barracks itself turn into another miniature war-zone as each side of the squad fought for its very survival. The men punched, kicked, stabbed, and shot their way out of the situation they were in. When the dust finally settled Orin and four of the squad members who had sided with him were the only ones standing. After that Orin and his newfound brothers took up weapons from the armory and exited the barracks. By virtue of their training, a little luck, and a fully fueled flamer Orin and his squad were able to quickly overwhelm one of the smaller security teams guarding a shuttle within the starport. They then forced the shuttle's pilot ignore the cargo that was supposed to be loaded and take them up to the merchant ship awaiting it in orbit.<br><br>In all the confusion the merchant ship's bridge crew simply failed to notice that one of the shuttle's it took in failed to check in after landing. It was only days after the ship's departure into the warp that anyone even thought to send some armsmen to investigate. By this time there was nothing to be found other than a dead pilot, slumped in his seat next to his serivtor co-pilot. The armsmen wrote it off as the pilot having been wounded on planet and dying on approach with his servitor simply completing the docking procedure for him. No one looked for a group of stowaways, and no one noticed when that same group made their way off ship at the first visited port. <br><br>From then on Orin has dedicated his life to fighting in honor of the Dark Gods and gaining their approval. Over the course of his newfound calling Orin has fought in the service of many masters. Gone to war for pirates, revolutionaries, heretical cardinals, Chaos Space Marine warbands, and nearly every other chaotic host imaginable. Orin has taken to the field of battle whenever it is in the service of the Dark Gods, regardless of who is in command. And, perhaps most impressively for a mortal, he has always survived. When other, far greater, warriors have fallen. When those with true power have seen their works crumble. When even the mighty lords of Chaotic warhosts have been claimed by battle. Orin has somehow lived to fight again. Often by simply seeming to cheat death in all its myriad forms. Those with knowledge of such things claim that something or somethings within the warp, whether they be the Chaos Gods or some other warp entity, have taken amusement at Orin's antics and as such protect him from what should rightfully have been his death a hundred times over.&nbsp; <br><br>Whatever the true reason for Orin's unlikely survivals, they have gained him a small measure of note with many of the rank and file mortal warriors of Chaos. Many a heretical warrior has chosen to fight alongside Orin, in the hopes that the Gods of Chaos will grant them a measure of Orin's luck, only to accidentally catch a bolt round aimed at Orin for their trouble. For his part Orin doesn't bother himself with the how or the why, instead he is simply thankful for the continued opportunities to fight for Chaos, slay the enemies of his dark masters, and reap the spoils of war. <br></div></div>

				Hmm. Not sure if I even should go looking for pictures for the Plaguemother.

				Depending on how TheLaughingOne wants to play it I could see Orin and his character having crossed paths at least. That honestly goes for any character. I purposely left the more recent parts of Orin's backstory vague so that we can easily find ways for the characters to have crossed paths. Really anyone who has fought alongside/made use of traitor guardsmen or squads of cultists/heretics could have crossed Orin's path even if it's just been in passing. <br><br>I wouldn't be opposed to having him be somehow immune to Plaguemother's contagions. Depending on how 'prolific' you want to play her as it could set up a pretty amusing situation where she eventually decides to lay with one or more of Orin's squad mates/minions/followers to test if the protection extends to them as well. Only to find out nope it doesn't.

				Hey there all!<br>TheLaughingOne: How would you feel about my character (to be posted in just a bit) being your Enginseerer? She is a fully trained tech priest. Having fallen to chaos (by imperial standards anyway) she could perform the duties well. She might even have been around on the ship for quite a while depending on your preference.

She, like most Imperial citizens lived day to day doing as they were told. When it became clear that she had a natural affinity toward machines her family began petitioning her acceptance into the ranks of the Adaptus Mechanicus. At the tender age of 16 she was accepted and over the next 20 years was indoctrinated into a full tech priest. She was then apprenticed to the Lathe Worlds, a stationing that any would have considered fortunate. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Living on the edge of Imperial space meant that the Lathes were the first to view found archeotech or potentially modified/re-engineered xenos tech. It was at this time in her 120th year that she came upon a strange piece of xenos technology. It was unlike anything she had ever seen and she dedicated the majority of her time to its research. After many long months she was able to discover that it was not xenos tech but in fact a piece of technology from the warp. Caution should have immediately made her destroy the relic but her curiosity and arrogance won out. Tapping further into the device she discovered it was a creation of someone or something calling itself Minos. Further research confirmed that the name matched an Iron Warrior Adaptus Astartes Chaos marine from the first war. Still, Hessia was convinced that the technology at her disposal and her obvious superiority could handle any dangers involved.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What she discovered was anything but. What she thought was a simple information capsule turned out to be far more dangerous. Finally cracking the case of the device she was assaulted with chaos nanites that invaded her systems. For many days she lingered near death as the microscopic machines did their work. Upon recovery she had a wellspring of new information at her disposal. What was suppose to be a tech bomb designed to shut down the machine spirits of a facility had rewritten her internal thought matrix. Now she understood, everything she had been working on all these years was a waste. Technology wasn’t limited by connections and programming it was just a step toward the ultimate understanding. An understanding that the nanites didn’t quiet get to fully impregnate into her conscious. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It wasn’t just knowledge but other things the nanites had brought to her. Sensations that she had thought long destroyed by the removal of her human flesh. Emotions that had been removed due to cranial implants to expand her computing power returned in a flood. All of this, she had recovered thanks to these tiny machines of chaos. It could mean only one thing, chaos held the power of true machine evolution. An evolution Hessia had to have. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Since then she had hacked into multiple Imperial logic banks as well as assaulted lesser tech priest directly to seize their knowledge for herself. Her new purpose in life is to create a species of techno based life forms that will be ultimate evolution of mankind. As such her primary coding designates her as Mother. Thus far these efforts have been unsuccessful but she has turned to implementing chaos rituals to “fill in the gaps” of code that cannot fulfill the need. <br>

Ish. <br><strong>Sex:</strong> Hermaphrodite, originally female.<br><strong>Race:</strong> Human. Heavily infected with numerous diseases, including a Slaaneshi-tainted variant of the Zombie Plague.<br><strong>Planet of Origin:</strong> Unknown<br><strong>Appearance: </strong>A large-breasted, noticeably pregnant figure, typically covered in heavily, poorly made and dirty robes and cloaks that conceal most details past her general body shape. When she has no need for concealment, she tends to forgo these - or any other - clothes. Her face is beautiful, if pale and faintly green-tinged, especially around her full and sensual lips, and her eyes are a solid milky (well, the faintly yellow colour of spoiled milk) white. Her body is likewise unnaturally pale and cool to the touch, her arms, legs and stomach marked with small boils, grossly expanded pores and little areas where the flesh has rotted away to show the organs and muscles beneath. Her sex has been heavily warped, her clitoris swollen into a misshapen organ that would look more at home between the hind legs of a male horse. A very ill one, at least, as numerous small bumps and nodules are visible under the flesh, seeming to move slowly beneath the skin. As with her perpetually swollen nipples, a thick, pale, sickly yellow-white fluid constantly and slowly oozes from both of her misshapen sexes.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong><br><br>Former a Novice Sister of the Hospitallers of the Adeptus Soroitas, the woman who would become the Plaguemother was, at first, just as earnest and fiery as her sisters, if somewhat weak-willed when it came to resisting her desires.<br>Still, she was a girl with needs and, during a lull in the fighting between the Imperial Guard regiment that she and her sisters were tending to and a Chaotic uprising on some agriworld, she found herself in the arms of a Guardsman admit the stench of death and the built-up filth that accumulates after years fighting in the same little trenches. And she <em>loved</em> it.<br>She loved it all, from the Guardsman and the joy and passion and love of their coupling to the scents and the softly yielding sensation of the muck that enveloped her as they rutted into it.&nbsp; <br><br>She had always had a strong tolerance for the most unclean of environments that she and her sisters worked in, but never had she realized just how <em>beautiful</em> it all was, from the feeling of another filling her womb, to the cute little wriggling of the maggots in the muck around them to the smell of the feces and rotting flesh. It was death but it was also life, the two not separate but the same wonderful thing.<br>And then the cultists attacked, an unlikely and tenuous alliance of Slaaneshi and Nurglite followers who had managed to summon the daemons of their respective gods. <br>Caught in a tide of plaguebearers and deamonettes the slaughter was total, all those who resisted were defiled and killed, not always in that order.<br><br>She didn't resist. The sight of the guardsmen around her being violated by the deamonettes and covered in the filth of the nurglings ... with her recent realization she found that she didn't <em>want</em> to resist when she was cornered by a deamonette and plaguebearer.<br>When the deamonette took her, she opened her legs willingly for it and when the plaguebearer climbed over her and squatted above her face, she opened her mouth eagerly for it.&nbsp; <br>She was caught up in the rebellion, now knowing and accepting how ... silly the Imperials were being. She didn't hate them, but the poor, misguided children still struggled against what was best for them, even as she rose to prominence amongst the various warbands, her body touched and warped by both Slaanesh and Nurgle until, finally, she pledged herself fully to Nurgle. Perhaps as a last gesture of spite, her most prolific infection, the zombie plague, was warped and twisted by the Prince of Excess. No longer did it turn those infected with it into mindless corpses seeking only to spread the disease through proximity and force, but those she infected mutated into forms similar to her own, beautiful and between male and female, the infection now spread only through the milk and semen of the zombies.<br>The Plaguemother soon found that one of her two patrons had also added another little mutation ot the disease. Normally, those infected by it died and shuffled around mindlessly. While that was still true for all those taken by her 'children' and those that resisted her efforts to bring them into the warm embrace of Papa Nurgle, those that willingly submitted to her, that knelt and drank happily from her breast or sex maintained their intelligence who she loved and was loved by, treating them as beloved children while they see her somewhere between mother, lover and semi-divine. Perhaps intentionally, the majority of her sons and daughters are drawn towards the worship of Slaanesh rather than Nurgle but as none will even consider defying their beloved mother, the two groups rarely come into open disagreement and neither group dares to disobey their mother.<br><br>The rebellion was eventually crushed but the Plaguemother and the first of her beloved children had left the planet before that point, having realized that they would not survive much longer there. And while oblivion was just the warm, welcome embrace of Nurgle, if she did she wouldn't be able to show any more of the silly little Imperials the joy of Nurgle's love.<br><br>Ever since she embraced Chaos, the child (or children) of that guardsman has been growing within the Plaguemother's body, the pregnancy far, far extended from what it should be. Whatever is growing inside of her is unlikely to be more than barely human, and even the Plaguemother isn't sure what sort of life is slowly growing inside of her, but she knows that she loves the child or children that will be both her first and last.<br>Whatever it -or they -are, they have survived apparently unharmed from even the worst of injuries inflicted upon their mother. <br>But then, Nurgle's children were always resilient.

				The Chaos Tau is an interesting character, but I do have one bit of feedback. Operating in a human centred environment, even as part of a Rogue Trader's enterage, any alien is going to be noticeable. One looking as different as that is going to be VERY noticeable. In an all out combat situation, that's not going to be a huge concern, but it will limit any interactions with anyone other than the other PCs. If you're cool with that, then it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I figure I ought to mention it.<br><br>So, we seem to have the characters coming along nicely. Let's give them some reasons to work together, and some history.<br><br>The FATE RPG has a nice thing in character creation, where the different group members are tied together with parts in each other's stories. This gives them a history, and a reason to work together, as opposed to 'you all meet in a tavern and decide to go on an adventure together' :)<br><br>The basic format it uses for stories is this:<br><br><em>When [something happens], [your protagonist] [pursues a goal]. But will [your protagonist] succeed when [antagonist provides opposition]?</em><br><br>Very bare bones, obviously, but it provides the skeleton to build on.<br><br><em>Supporting roles come in three forms: they complicate a situation, solve a situation, or both.<br>Complicating a situation: Your character has managed to make some part of the story you’re guest starring in uncertain. Of course, since that happened in the past, we know you got out of it all right (or mostly all right, as indicated by the aspect you take). When describing this, don’t worry about how the situation is resolved—leave that for someone else, or leave it open.<br><br>Solving a situation: Your character somehow solves a complication that the main character in the story has to deal with, or your character aides the main character in the central conflict. When describing this, you don’t have to mention how the situation was created, just how your character takes care of it.<br><br>Complicating and solving: Here, your character either solves one situation but creates another, or creates a situation but later solves a different one. Mash up the two ideas, using the word “later” in between them.</em><br><br>So here are a couple of stories from Draugr's past. Who wants to have crossed paths with him?<br><br>932M41: The Beast of Solomon<br>Solomon, the Munitorium’s seat of power in the Calixis Sector, is a blighted, slowly dying, and heavily industrialised Hive World where rebellion, superstition, and hate fester in the shadowed canyons of rockcrete and steel. Its hives are pollution-shrouded places plagued by suspicion, greed, and unrest. Between the towering monolithic citadels of Solomon's hive metropolises, thousands of square kilometres of rusting pipelines, thundering processing vats, and fire-belching pyro-towers cover the landscape and darken the skies with a thick haze of black smog. <br><br>In the lightless spaces of these Interior Industrial Zones, or simply the "Interior" as the Solomonites call them, many terrors are said to haunt unseen, and fears take form in the foaming madness that lies within the Immaterium. <br><br>Of these tales, the dark legend of the so-called "Curse" or "Beast of Solomon" is perhaps one of the oldest, most consistent, and most widely recounted. It is a myth of some monstrous alien thing that stalks the darkness seeking only to kill, a shadow within shadows, and of good men taken without warning to gristly deaths with only bloody shreds left to mark their passing. <br><br>Such an enviroment is perfect for a son of the Eighth Legion is dwell. But what happens when one of the occasional Imperial investigations descends into the depths of the darkness. What are they searching for? And what will they find?<br><br>938M41 - 939M41: The 'Red Jack' serial killings on Port Maw.<br>Draugr had infiltrated Port Maw, following the trail of a 'dealer in antiquities', one of the inner circle of the Black Sky cartel. Rumour had come to him that a rather unusual blade had found it's way to this individual, and was going to be offered for auction. The blade in question sounded like one his father's Widowmaker daggers, and if it was, it would not be remaining in any hands but his. Of course, first he had to find where this auction was being held, and the dozen or two vermin he had already interrogated had proved of limited use. They were leading him upwards, but too slowly.<br><br>Who wants to take part in Draugr's stories, and who wants to add their own?

				Got the character out, hopefully more fleshed out soon.<br><br><hr><div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/hC56R5J.jpg?1)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Sekhess, Word Bearer of the Inspired Convent<br><strong>Alias:</strong> Headhunter<br><strong>Age:</strong> 872<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Male<br><strong>Race:</strong> Possessed Chaos Space Marine, formerly human<br><strong>Planet of Origin:</strong> Sicarus, Daemonworld<br><strong>Appereance:</strong><br><strong>Possessed Appereance:</strong> Sekhess’ power armor begins to crack and strain, fragmenting into lustrous ruby scales, under the surge of daemonic essence unleashed from within as he grows in stature. While beige trim turns to bone with sinewy veins and muscles attatched to its base, binding the scales together and causing them to shift and ripple gracefully as he moves. Sekhess face also undergoes radical changes as the faceplate splits into three segments, opening to reveal sharp teeth lining the edges and a long, flailing tentacle-like appendage emerging from the throat while the cybernetic lenses gains slitted pupils that gaze with hunger. The backpack fuses into a patterned, flared hood, glowing with eldritch energy. Beneath the waist, his legs are absorbed into a serpentine tail and sharp bony spines appear across its length, with another set of phallic tentacles hidden inside a slit.<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sekhess, before becoming the warp-creature he is now, was once a slave known as Sebastian. Born on Sicarius, domain of the Daemon Primarch Lorgar of the Word Bearers, his earlist memories were of toiling away at monuments to Chaos Gods and the tainted incense that lay as a thick, permanent haze over the planet's surface. Growing to an impressive physique during years of intense labour, almost to spite his taskmasters that sought to reduce him to a growling cultist, and unyielding in spirit as he heard tales of world outside and of a golden presence known as the God-Emperor of Mankind that inspired dreams of freedom. Sebastian's faith was a beacon that rallied those around him, offering hope and a brighter future and while still a young child he was cast in the role as a leader of a growing revolt.<br><br>In the shadows the Word Bearers watched, allowing the unfaithful elements to gather, certain of the ultimate outcome. However, despite their preparations the Chaos Space Marines faced unexpected resistance from the insurrection, as Sebastian's rebels had fortified their position inside a fortress-chapel before they had been overrun by the warp-powered marines. Unwilling to destroy a sacred structure, least they incur the wrath of their Primarch, the Word Bearers prepared for a drawn out siege.<br><br>Inside the chapel the spirits were raced high, the adrenaline pumping away any impure thoughts of defeat of the unexpected victory. Though as silence came upon the survivors, the severity of the situation set itself firmly in their hearts, causing fear and confusion to spread amongst the ranks. Seeing the situation starting to crumble Sebastian tried to again speak of the God-Emperor's love, asking for a sign, desperate to validate his followers faith in him and his in the Emperor. As the air itself seemed to be torn asunder by crackling energy, there was a moment of hope before daemonic creatures began to appear. As they rampaged through the congregation, Sebastian was spared, but not ignored as the daemons taunted him with each death of his friends.<br><br>Captured and brought before one of the Dark Apostles, Azkyr the Woebringer, Sebastian tried to measure against the imposing figure but stood humbled within the giant's shadow though not broken. Seeing the defiance still burning in the child’s eyes, Azkyr was unsatisfied by his continued resistance and wanted to see Sebastian prostating himself before his dark gods before killing him and brought him into his sanctum for a more personal touch.<br><br>Putting a quill in the child’s hand, Azkyr directed him to the Book of Lorgar and ordered him to copy-pasta the contents into a new volume. Testing the limits of Sebastians physical and spiritual perseverance as he faithfully copied each word onto the page for days at a time, learning early that mistakes were heavily punished. Isolated from everything else, the words soon echoed in his mind during sleep and consumed his life during his waking hours. He grew a perverse attachment to the book, a sense of accomplishment as he was praised after each volume he completed. <br><br>Sebastian found himself asking a question about the meaning of a passage within the book, not understanding the hostility shown against the God-Emperor or the Imperium. Expecting to be reprimanded, he instead found a willing voice in Azkyr, who listened attentively before responding and easing his concerns. Surprised, but emboldened Sebastian continued to ask and even attempt to retort Azkyr’s comments, which were met with the same patience and well articulated arguments as before. Feeling a twinge of guilt and shame as he continued in his defiance despite being unable to argue against it, he fell silent.<br><br>Increasingly distressed at his inability to defend the God-Emperor, he felt himself doubting. Taking advantage of the momentary weakness, Azkyr offered to help to improve his arguments, Sebastian, desperate to hold on to his faith by any means, accepted. He progressed quickly, learning several techniques to subtly manipulate and convince the hearts of man under the Apostle’s tutelage.<br><br>During one of his lessons, a shaken man wearing ornate robes and symbols stumbled into the sanctum. Feeling an instinctual flush of anger at the interuption, only magnified as Azkyr identified the person as a Priest of the Adeptus Ministorum. Staring at the crumpled man before him in disbelief, denying he could ever be a holy man, earning Sebastian an outburst from the priest in protest. Recoiling and feeling hurt from the accusations of heresy, Sebastian tried to defend himself but was silenced by Azkyr’s raised hand. He explained the purpose of the lesson as a way to test Sebastian’s progress. Tasking his pupil to argue against the Emperor against a priest, to ensure fairness and a chance to learn and understand his own faith better.<br><br>Agreeing, which caused further insults to be shouted from the priest, Sebastian tried to form his opening arguments. A chill grew down his spine as he saw the priest only meet him with another set of curses and promises of damnation, and Sebastian looked toward Azkyr for support but saw only silent amusement play across the Apostle’s eyes. The priest noticing the distracted child launched himself towards Sebastian in a surge of strength, overwhelming him. Seeing the rage and gleeful expression on the priest as Sebastian struggled against him, he felt truly lost. Calling out to the God-Emperor to save him with a gasping, broken voice, but chocking on the words as they rang hollow and untrue. Teary-eyed as he could no longer hold on to his faith, Sebastian glared at the priest with seething hatred as if he had betrayed him.<br><br>TBC<br><br>Cliffnotes: Training montage, 12th Crusade, Infiltration, Ritual, Hunting Eldar, Daemonpossession<br></div></div>

				Well, that does raise a question that's probably worth getting the groups input on. How much sexual stuff do you all forsee taking place? Given that it's a Chaos group, I expect there to be assorted amounts of evil. I'm playing a Night Lord, they're known to be perfectly happy to torture and maim for the fun of it ... that doesn't mean it has to be particularly graphic. As regards sex, well, it's going to be non existant for me. Marines (with the possible exception of Slaaneshi ones) just aren't made that way.<br><br>And does anyone else have any concerns, things they would rather not see come up in play? <br><br>It is a group game after all, we all want to enjoy ourselves, so better to hopefully sort any issues out now rather than having them springing out of the underbrush in the middle of a scene.

				Sex, yes. Willing sex mostly/entirely, and I'll be fine with keeping the Plaguemother's 'onscreen' use of bodily fluids down to milk and cum. Violence is neither my nor her thing, but I won't object to it going on. I just won't be taking much part in the more explicit bits.

				Shouldn't be an issue with regards to consent, temptation is a key part of Slaanesh and offering the oppertunity for people to damn themselves willingly is a greater victory than simply taking by force.

				As far as violence goes I'm up for just about anything. First ever WH40k fiction I read went into fun detail about the effect that a bolt round has on a human body... Pretty much par for the course. With regards to sex I'm pretty open and generally willing to just play off of everyone's preference.

				Warhammer is a brutal universe. I expect extreme brutality. That said, I just don't wish to see any children specifically harmed. I know in an urban battle, casualties are expected, children are a given. Just no direct violence to them. Rape is rough to me, I won't write it, but I can accept other's preferences.

				I've been thinking over the idea of your playing an Imperial Dartimus, and the main difficulty I see with it is that you're not generally going to have a lot of interaction with the rest of the group. There would be conflict scenes, but those could be relatively few and far between. I don't know how well it would work out.<br><br>For the rest, I'd like to try and get us started with a situation where we all have goals we want, which we can hopefully accomplish in the same general area.<br><br>http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Solomon<br><br>This looks like a spot that would be a good place to start, say with the group already established on the surface, probably using their Rogue Trader's holdings as a base of operations.

				So, I've had an idea stewing for the last couple of days. Concept is a Fallen Black Templar, doesn't worship Chaos, Khorne, or anything on the heretical, Xenos side, but he's disillusioned about the Emperor and the Imperium. After a crippling defeat on a crusade, he just takes what he can, and leaves, following his own code of ethics.

				Berserkers aren't exactly the most subtle of people :) .

				The Plaguemother is just a caring woman who wants everyone to be happy.<br>In the blissful embrace of Nurgle, but still.

				I'm of the opinion 40k games are cursed around here. Or at least any I try to take part in are. System, freeform, GM, player, doesn't matter, something inevitably comes up and the game goes pop. At the moment I'm afraid my 40k muse has about as much life as the individual sitting on the Golden Throne :P
