Gue'vesa

( http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Gue%27vesa )
To give a brief summary (Though i feel im doing it an injustice by doing that)
Humans who have willingly Joined the Tau Empire.

The more i read this article, the more i find myself interested.

Would people find this interesting to play as in a RP?
I mean your essentially plastering humans with Tau tech and being not so Xenophobic.
Interestingly, Alot Apparently Still worship the God-Emperor as Evidenced by this quote.

Many of the Gue'vesa can trace their origins back to the Damocles Gulf Crusade. When the first Imperial war against the Tau ground to a stalemate, the Imperial forces decided to retreat and redeploy their troops against a much more pressing threat in the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy, namely the Tyranid Hive Fleet Behemoth. The withdrawal was so fast, however, that many troops of the Imperial Guard were simply abandoned in Tau-controlled regions of space. O'Shovah, or Commander Farsight as he is known in the Imperium, gave these humans the option of joining the Tau Empire, an offer that most accepted. They were treated well by the Tau, and were even allowed to continue worshiping the God-Emperor and maintain their faith in the Imperial Cult, though this version of the faith was purged of the fanatic and xenophobic sentiments that were commonplace in the Imperium.

I mean. Would anyone be actually interested in RPing as one of these or something related?

On their own, You could potentially be in one of these:
A Fire Caste Human
A Water Caste human
An Earth Caste Human
An Air Caste Human
A Tau of the Same Varieties
Kroot
Ethereal
Vespid
NIccassan (A Highly Psychic Specie for the Tau Empire)

I'd be willing to play a Roughneck Starship Trooper style game in this setting. You couldn't go all out with every aspect of Tau culture being playable, otherwise it would become too muddled. Need a good story, with interesting NPC's, more than you need world building aspects since a lot of it is already done for you.

There is a lot you could do with a Tau Squad that was a mix between the alien races and human auxiliaries. That could be our gimmick.

But if you give me a Crisis Suit I'll roleplay anything you want really.

I know. All of them have varying uses and you couldnt have Every single aspect everywhere unless you were like a Summit or something.

while it would be interesting to be an Ethereal. If i were to construct an RP around the Tau. I would have to say "You want to be an Ethereal? Alright. Pistol and Staves are your only weapon choices.. No minions and You only a have a select few abilities i decide upon."

I would loves to do this RP as a Gue'vesa'ui (Sargent) and i would need to make sure i research Various weapons and make many considerations as well as give a think to Imperial Guard weapons and make accurate descriptions of updates using Tau tech but.... I would love to personally see a Imperial guardsmen wield a Pulse rifle and the Generic Flak armour update with Tau Tech

But if you give me a Crisis Suit I'll roleplay anything you want really.

Might limit you there. .

Edit:

Here's what i got when i took a glancing look at my Imperial Guard Codex and then did a Bit of Research into the Tau Fire-caste Sqaud weapons.
In Theory, A Gue'vesa quad could have any of the following:

Gue'vesa Weapons/Uprgrades

Pulse Carbines/Rifles - Sniper-Variant Long-Las - Pulse Grenades

Standard-pattern Las-gun/-pistol - Flamers - EMP Grenades

Hot-shot Las-gun/-pistol - Markerlights - Seeker Missiles

Bolt-Gun/-Pistol - XV25 Stealthsuit - Power-fist/-sword - Camo-cloak

Vox-casters - Carpace/ Flak Armour - Gun/Shield Drones

Rail Rifles - Fusion Blaster - Chainsword

Medi-pack - Demolition charges - Frag/Krak Grendes

Melta-bombs - Shotgun - Grenade Launcher

Plasma-pistol/-gun - Hell-pistol/-gun

Of Course, This is all Theory. I mean, Where would a Gue'vesa get a Hell-pistol of all thing?
