I just went to look at the interest check thread... Did you mean to put it in the advanced interest checks?

Damn so many idea's for characters to try... But I imagine I can only have the one... So, here is an old character of mine that I have been looking to use for quite some time, but, understandably, GM's have been reluctant to let me use her:

name: Saint Remas (Ray-Miss)
age: 500
faction: space marines
chapter: Angels of Fenris
position: Holy Wolf Mother.

i can understand why they would be hesitant to allow her, not because she is OP but because the lore man. If you wantd to make a living saint like Celestine why not just go with sisters of battle? Also I never heard of any female space marines before the closest ive heard are the sisters of battle.

You also mention that her physiology allows her to wield the sword with one hand. What else does it allow her to do? I didn't see anything in there that described her physiological abilities.

Female Space Marines do not exist. I wish they did, but they don't, because of Games Workshop's work ethics. And, actually, if you look into the fluff, there is some pretty crazy shit. I actually heard that, canonically, there actually was a female Chaos Space Marine that was created through warp-mutation, but her canonicity is questionable to say the least, you want to see something else crazy, google image search Illiyan Nastase... You'll know it when you see it... And BTW, although it has been retconned, it was still official canon for at least 5 years.

Well, as I understand it, Living Saints are essentially the Imperiums answer to a Greater Daemon. She'd probably be, physically, on par with a Bloodthirster. But that's where Warhammer's beautiful power balance (Or lack thereof) comes into play. See, there is no definitive "Physically Strongest" thing in Warhammer, since pretty much every strength class has twatted something higher (and been twatted by something lower) up the "Strength scale"

E.G. It is canon that Marneus Calgar was nearly killed by a Broodlord, yet it is canon that a Bloodthirster was capable of killing such a creature. Then we have the Bloodthirsters equal, the Keeper of Secrets, the greater Daemon of Tzeench... It is canon that such a daemon was killed by a lone Fire Warrior. And yet, during the Damoclese campaign, Our great lord of the latreen was shown slaughtering Fire Warriors by the thousands.

So, according to the power sheet of Warhammer 40k

Marneus Calgar < Broodlord < Bloodthirster = Keeper of Secrets < Fire Warrior < 1000 Fire Warriors < Marneus Calgar

So, to sum things up, power is relative to plot convenience. If, for plot reasons, we need her to have her ass kicked by a Grot, then by a Grot, her ass will be kicked.

This isn't a fight whose outcome will be determined by the plot. As such, the abilities need to be somewhat defined, or at least outlined.

Well, my entire point is that there is no way to put people in a strength class, because of how completely erratic the strength classes are. As I said earlier, she is probably in the same strength-class as a Bloodthirster, but that doesn't help at all, seeing as:

Marneus Calgar < Broodlord < Bloodthirster = Keeper of Secrets < Fire Warrior < 1000 Fire Warriors < Marneus Calgar

or:

Marneus Calgar< Bloodthirster < Marneus Calgar

or:

Marneus Calgar < Marneus Calgar

Alright, i'll try to define her abilities better.

I don't think you get it man this isn't like we are playing tabletop this is a fight. Everyone needs clearly defined statistics and limitations.

I know, I was doing it like in the Space Marine game, where you get skills like "Feel No Pain" and "Shred" but they have their own abilities... I suppose i'd better elaborate on what they mean.

EDIT: Done. I elaborated on her abilities.
