Roleplayer Guild - Forum Roleplaying Games

I've created a regiment for us to use in this roleplay, I'd say I filled in all the blanks, but if you have any questions or suggestions, just let me know.

Regiment force information:
Name: 1st Stormwind Regiment

Size: 500 men.

Planet: Telasia, a moderate sized jungle planet that is under ork invasion, the local military has rallied a much smaller army, but since the resources have run dry, the imperium doesn't plan to send any reinforcements. The wind storms on the planet are almost infamous throughout the galaxy, the tropical weather provides alot of rain, but also the occurences of typhoons. The wildlife of the planet is considering dangerous and wandering around alone isn't suggested, the most dangerous of the planets wildlife is the rhinoceraptors, they are aggresive and fierc, they have armorered hides as well as razor sharp talons.

Recruitment and training: Soldiers are only recruited from the planet, but few are deemed fit. Training begins at the age of 19, they start with the trial of intiation, the recruit is sent into the jungle to fair for their own, if they return then they undergo combat and fitness excercises, some even are thrown into live combat.

Battle style: They don't have many vehicles left, a few chimeras, and a single sentinel. Their front line is made up of shotgun, and power weapon specilization troops, the power weapons are engineered to look like axes. They also have conscript squads who provide ranged coverage from the center of the setup, and few sniper squads, but the few they have are veterans on the field of battle.

Equipment: Gaurdsmen of the Stormwind Regiment wear black vests, combat boots, fingerless gloves, and navy blue and black camoflauge pants. They wear no helmets, the heat of their planet makes wearing too much armor a weakness in battle, they use shotguns, axe shaped power weapons, lascannons, sniper rifles. Some have flamethrowers and grenade launchers, but their equipment and ammo is limited, so the heavy weapons aren't used often.

Troop types:
Stormwind conscripts: Armed with flak armor and lascannons, they are fairly weak but make up a good size of the stormwind army, they provide ranged coverage for the rippers and talons, their armor is weak as well their weaponry, in large numbers they can inflict great harm, but alone they are mediocre at killing anything, some few get upgraded weaponry, but only if they prove themselves first.

Stormwind rippers: Bear shotguns and frag grenades and flak armor, they are used for disrupting the frontlines, often they peirce through the frontlines to commanders, they are effective at bullrushing enemies, they are used for assault, they fight better alongside each other, while one shoots the other reloads, then vice versa, they work in duos like that very well. They get the name ripper from....well, when they shoot an enemy with a shotgun it rips them to shreds, hence the name.

Stormwind Talons: They wear flak armor and bear power weapons molded to look like axes, they are swift and fierce in battle, inheriting their name from the rhinoceraptors of the jungle. They are used for flanking and assaulting command units, or even ambushes, but they fight best in the frontlines, they are highly trained and hard to kill, they're the elite unit of the stormwind regiment.

Stormwind Ghosts: The sniper unit of the stormwind regiment, they are elite snipers and have trained in the extreme enviornement of the jungle and even practice in the typhoons winds, they are highly accurate and considered the best in the imperium. They get the name ghosts from their ability to be elusive, to be deadly and out of sight.

So, here I go again chasing you down again.
Why do I do this?
It feels like everyday stays the same.
It's dragging me down, and I can't pull away.
Over and over, over and over you make me fall for you.
Over and over, over and over You don't even try to.
I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead.
I know what's best for me, but I want you instead.

Sounds basically like Gaunt's Ghosts to me.

So, with 500 men, do we roleplay an individual character or a whole squad of men? And is this 40k based? It sounds like it is (orks, power weapons, guardsmen, chimeras...)
I'd definitely be interested in this, but I'd like to know a bit more?

You don't have to be a stormwind regiment guardsmen if you don't want to, you can be from another planet or even a different unit type if you want, just be creative as to why your here and information about your unit type, I have examples if you need them. You may also customize your own weaponry, if you wish to use something I haven't listed, again be informative about your training and such. I'd also like to include that, this is going to be more squad based then anything else, the 500 men are basically expendables.

I am going to be the main force commander, but other high ranking positions are available, psykers, priests, commissars, inquisitors, and engineers are needed.

Character sheet:
Name: Drexus Cazarr
Age: 27
Primary weapon: Shotgun
Secondary weapon: plasma pistol
Appearance: Is about 6' 2", solid muscular build, hair shaved tightly to his scalp, deep, brown eyes, a handsome face that has clearly seen many years of battle, a combat knife left a scar on his right cheek, Wears standard stormwind regiment equipment, let's his i.d. tags hang over his chest.
Troop type: Commander, elite ripper.
Regiment: 1st Stormwind Regiment
Prefered style of combat: In the fray.
History: Was once a recruit in the jungles, fending off rhinoceraptors, and the other wildlife around him, he was eventually enlisted as a ripper, but he was a brutal survivalist and proved it as his old superior died, then he was promoted to commander, and has been for almost 5 years now. As a commander he does well, his tactics are hard to fend off without the proper training, his combat capability hasn't changed, and unlike most commanders, he likes to fight on the frontlines with his men, he figured if he was going to die, he'd die with some valor and for the emperor he'd make a dent somewhere. Most of his opponents feared the rage of his men, they fought almost as crazily as the chaos did, but even his army couldn't compare to their berserkers, he hoped one day he'd meet them in battle, he deemed no other army worthy of killing him, and he'd fight to prove it. The resources on the planet are thin, and the weapons and armor are mostly basic, their engineers aren't the most qualified, but he wasn't exactly picky, any armor and his engraved shotgun would serve him just fine.

I'm not fond of the officers, so I'll get myself a nice, down-to-earth lowly meatshield.

Name: Bran 'Wolf' Coyle
Age: 24
Primary weapon: Sniper rifle
Secondary weapon: Mono-filament knife
Appearance: Short and wiry, Coyle stands a full head below the rest of his platoon, but has earned a healthy reputation for beating the living daylights out of anyone who points this fact out. His skin is tanned, not from sunlight - he sees little of that, being a night-fighting specialist - but from being too close to a flamer backwash. His kit is looked after meticulously, not because he wants to impress, but because a badly-maintained kit is a liability on the field of battle. His dark eyes glare out from under a brow furrowed by years of combat, always moving, taking in everything. His nickname, 'Wolf', comes from his ability to run for an hour flat-out; and because he once tore out an enemy soldier's throat with his teeth. Despite his imposing appearance, he is a light-hearted character, though inclined to brood.
Troop type: Ghost Sergeant
Regiment: Stormwind First
Prefered style of combat: He is comfortable with one of two combat styles; either putting hotshots between the eyes of enemy troopers from a quarter of a mile away, or up close, sliding his mono-filament knife across their throats, unseen. As soon as he is expected to engage in short-range firefights, however, his legendary aim evaporates, he panics, and makes bizarre decisions. For this reason, he has never fought in the front line.
History: Home destroyed by the Chaos crusade of Warlord M'grath on the distant planet of Hurth, saved only by the appearance of the Stormwind First, he took advantage of the Act of Consolation to join his saviours, and swiftly obtained a reputation for incredible accuracy and a fierce hatred for any xenos. He fought his way through the ranks to obtain the title of Sergeant, leading a squad of elite snipers into battle, blowing away the enemy whenever he encounters them. He has no desire to rise further through the ranks, though secretly hopes to one day put a hotshot through the head of M'Grath, who survived the vengeance of the Stormwind First.

Prefered style of combat: Sniper fire, surgical strikes, and especially laying ambushes.
