TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGS

>XD =3

Here's me redone app. Posting because I dunt think my old app is in the character dump and I needed a new app anyways. Reality is shaped by the forces that destroy it. Name of nation: The Ruinous Powers (Chaos, The Primordial Truth, The Dark God's, The Arch Enemy) Species: Chaos as it's name would suggest consists of many subservient species. Humans: A staple of Chaos forces are human thralls. Ranging from a malnourished subservient slave to a possessed monstrosity that no longer resembles a human. Space Marines: The pinochle of the human genome. Able to withstand incredible pain and bodily damage without flinching and quite literally incapable of feeling fear Space Marines represent the most deadly mortal force in the Chaos arsenal. Daemons: The Daemons of Chaos are conscious entities spawned out of the Dark God's themselves. They come in all shapes and sizes and range from animalistic to Manipulative Masterminds in intelligence.  With a ride variety of warp powers at their disposal the Daemon is an opponent not to be underestimated. Other Species: Any species is capable of falling to the seductions of chaos thus any species can be seen fighting in a chaos army. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Description of government: Chaos does not have one collective Government it is instead made up of Warbands, Heretical Sects of other Galactic Factions, Lone planets, and even individuals. Meritocracy is the chief law of chaos held world's followed closely by pure anarchy on others. If you can the skill to lead and the power to back it then leadership is yours. The only exception to this rule is in the case of the Gods themselves. The God's are supreme beings the likes of which could smite the universe if they so choose but rather they take delight in watching the mortals of our realm. Sometimes these beings issue forth unholy commands to their followers who can't even think to disobey. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Description of military: Varying greatly in command structure and tactics from each legion to each raiding party the chaos military is so uncollaborated it cannot be refered to as a military. The different forces within chaos war amongst themselves and play their own political games for the favor of their respected Gods. The tactics used by each individual faction are so diverse I don't think I can actually explain them all in this application without boring everyone to death and writing a small book. The God's do however (excluding khorne) favor Subtle, Corrupting, and sometimes terrifying actions be used to defeat their opponents. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Technological Overview: The technology utilized by chaos forces vary almost as much as the followers do themselves. Primarly used are those weapons from a universe already mastered by chaos consisiting of Heavy caliber balistics, Las Weapons (lasers), plasma weaponry. On top of these there is of course pirated technology as well. It is extremely common for chaos forces to steal weapons and ships from their enemies and use them for a more enlightened purpose. The warp drive: The warp drive. An extradimensional engine capable of opening a portal to the warp within the material universe for a ship to travel through. The drive requires a massive amount of energy to work thus commonly resulting in weapons or shields being shut down during a warp transition. Note: The warp drive is NOT an FTL devise. It utilizes tunnels through the immaterial plain to allow a ship to travel to it's location faster. It does not actually make the ship travel FTL. Daemonic Tech: Powered by the warp. Daemon weapons are capable or many odd and alluring properties. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cultural Overview: Chaos culture varies tremendously depending on whom has control of a planet. One must remember that chaos has millions of subfactions ranging from small pirate raid fleets to massive legions of followers all whom serve seperate gods and pay homage to seperate warciefs. Each has their own traditions and ways of which to act ranging from a highly ordered and militarized culture to that of bloodthirsty men who cannibalize their dead friends and foe alike. The Gods: Khorne: The Blood God. Lord of Battle. His fury knows no bounds. He cares not from where the blood flows only that it flows. Nurgle: The Lord of Decay. He works endlessly to spread infection to all mortal beings. Slannesh: The Dark Prince. Lord of indulgence and excess. There is no boundry of perversion which canno't be crossed. Tzeench: The Architect of fate. The God of change and Sorcery. He wields powerful magic as do his followers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ History: Much of Chaos is shrouded in mystery the likes of which perhaps no one but the Gods themselves know. Regardless the mysterious force hasn't been reported in the Material universe in thousands of years. Legends tell of the eventual return of the arch enemy to the material universe but those legends have faded into stories to frighten children. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other: The Warp and other Dimensions: Myself and Keyguy have been working on a system for this for a long time and here's what we have. There are 11 total dimensions. Each dimensions is more powerful than the last. 1 being the weakest (time) 11 being the strongest (domain of the omnipotent creator). The Material universe you know of sits on the 4th dimensions. The Warp is the 8th. The warp consists of vast stretches of Unreal space and land that does not obey the laws of time or physics which makes it perfect for interstellar travel. The warp however holds a corrupting effect to all who touch it. This can be instantaneous or low and seditious depending on the nature of of the exposure and the length for time exposed. No one knows anything about chaos beyond what has been specified above unless strictly allowed by myself. All races can be effected by warp taint unless a specific reason is given as to why they are not. Please don't spring this on me either tell me in advance as to why your race cannot be effected. For example if you are utilizing mind control the alure of chaos will be rather slim. If you tell me about that i'd be happy to agree. Warp space is not accessible without a warp drive or some other form of extradimensional travel. Chaos gods cannot enter combat physically but also cannot be destroyed. They can However be weakened and even banished for a period of time. Many religions mistake chaos as their version of Evil (hell, etc) as such if you wish to incorporate chaos into your background contact me and we'll work something out. The worship of the gods is not limited to actual worship. For Example The spilling of Blood is still paying homage to Khorne, Lustfilled thinking empowers Slannesh, Etc. Chaos forces are ever fighting within themselves. It is likely that one chaos force encountered by a race will not be the same as a chaos force encountered by another. As a result realize that any agreements/alliances/wars do not necessarily include all chaos forces rather they consist of that inner faction of chaos.

All races can be effected by warp taint unless a specific reason is given as to why they are not.

... so does that mean it can effect a race of Sentient A.I.'s inside robotic body's? =3

It depends :/ physically speaking it definitely can. Probably not mentally speaking. Daemons could probably also be bound to your corpses rather easily to create Daemon Engines. So you don't need to worry about Cults to the God's springing up in your cities. However if your exposed to the Warp without proper protection you'll be corrupted Judy like anyone/anything else.

Yes that could happen. Although flesh would probably become apparent. And the AI would most likely lose control of its Body and be trapped within itself.

that is both terrifying and awesome at the same time X3 .... dear god it's like the flood..... 0_0 wait... question... how does an A.I. lose control of a robotic body? I mean, yes you said flesh would become apparent and the body would warp, but how does that stop the robotics from being controlled by the A.I.? ... you know what, never mind, I'm thinking into it too much X3 that aside, it's terrifying, and that's all I need to know =3 XD

Just because you said you don't want to know I will now indulge your mind to the horrors of the warp >:P A When a Daemon is bound to an object it will manipulate the object to better serve Jr's needs usually by manipulating it physically. So for instance if a Daemon was bound to a modern day car it might turn it into something like a transformer but much more terrifying. Initially the AI would retain control of its new body but would be fighting a downhill battle from the moment the Daemon entered it's form. However it would be especially hard for an AI to resist the Daemon as it has no Warp Signature. This is both good and bad. A Daemon can't just poof inside you willy nilly. It has to be summoned and bound to you by servants. Which is a long and strenuous process. All the above goes for mortals as well its just a little easier to gain a foothold in the person but it'll take longer to gain complete control. Example of a Daemon engine

*shudders* T-T

poor a.i.'s.... it's the closest thing they'll ever experience to being infected by the flood... *shudders* Gah! I hate parasites! they just get under my skin! *Ba-Dun-Tiss~* XD

Only the flood kill you instantly :P we usually don't.

fun fact (a Halo Fanboy like me knows from reading the books X3 ) the flood not only can take over dead bodies, but live ones and use them as puppets from the inside, so if your alive when the flood gets you, your alive as you watch yourself gun down and go after your friends or family as they gun you down in defence, and you feel every shot that hits you, in other words, it's a living hell, more so as you feel your body being pulled by organic stings under your skin as it mutates and slowly rots away until your killed by your allies or become part of a gravemind... I can't even begin to fathom what hell that is like... *stares blankly, then a butterfly flies by, I give chase*

Well I guess it's closer then I thought. Minus the collective mind business.

Interesting nation Mr.Fox. I'm sitting here thinking how a Daemon would effect my nation, The Legion Collective. They'd meet some interesting issues unless they found a way to access one of their worlds as practically no Legion tech is composed of "parts" in the traditional sense. What I mean by this is rather than one of their weapons be composed of various mechanisms, the weapon is instead composed of hundreds, if not thousands (depending on the size of the weapon and whatnot) of nanobots, each of which is under the control of a member of Legion whose consciousness is anchored therein. While I could see a Daemon trying to take over one or two members of the collective (one or two nanites) them attempting to commandeer a whole ship (which depending on its size could be literally millions of nanobots, and thus members of the Collective) would be nigh impossible unless they have a consciousness which is somehow superior to literally millions of beings pooling their mental capacity and whatnot into a Collective mind. Still, the biological members of Legion would be vulnerable to Daemon influence, which is unfortunate, but to be possessed I imagine you'd need to get near said biological members, even if it's just being on world. Thoughts?

Oh I agree with this yes. Nanobots wouldn't be something a Daemon would even want to possess and technically a Daemon am not possess a machine they are bound to it by curses. Generally Daemons don't want to be confined to a metal contraption. As for mortals they actively seek out beings to possess however you'd have to be exposed to the warp or have a Daemon summoned nearby to have to worry about that. The majority of Daemons everyone will be encountering already have bodies I just wanted to point out that Daemons can possess thing so that people aren't surprised if I try to use that ability.

Chaos is going to be a huge threat to magic based races. Destroying minds since the days of the Horus Heresy.

Tisk tisk. We don't want to 'destroy' anyone. We should rather like to help everyone if possible. By enlightening them to the bountiful joy that is the worship of the only TRUE gods (not counting that one omnipotent bastard). Think of all the benefits! Support from Chaos Forces. gifts of the flesh. More and varied magical and psychic powers Anarchy and Meritocracy instead of whatever oppressive regime controls you now. It's really great.

Gravemind: "Do not be afraid... I am peace; I am salvation.... I am a timeless chorus... Join your voice with mine, and sing victory everlasting..." X3

Interesting fact, pseudo flood exist in this universe, though they were relegated to an NPC nation who currently just plague the further reaches of the galaxy (and who an endless war with happens to factor in to my Ghaj's backstory)

Who are you and what have you done with the chaos I know and love....
