Because no matter how grand our plans are... sometimes the Empire gets lucky in its over-zealousness.

Wow, you are spreading this round faster than a Slaaneshi STD. Congrats.

(Thursday 27th)

Today is Thursday the 28th.

... what happens now?

@Hank pogue ma thain, that's what happens now. :)

I WILL be getting a post up in the next couple of days, and I apologise that work is keeping me from this RP, as I'm actually quite excited to begin.

So, patience for now, please...hopefully it'll be worth it.

@Jbcool

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. :P

Seriously through, I can't wait.

We're just as excited as you, @Jbcool.

I concur on the excitement. My Nurgle follower is way to normal looking and needs to gain some gifts. I am so excited! DECAY AND PESTILENCE FOR ALL!

If you don't have the time to do a big opening post, @Jbcool, a short, simple thing to set the scene could at least get us started.

Intro post will be up in the next couple of hours, so here's a head-up; prepare for heresy!

@Hank@Lord Coake@Bright_Ops@The Whacko@Noxious@Keepvogel

@Hank@Lord Coake@Bright_Ops@The Whacko@Noxious@Keepvogel@BCTheEntity

Riiiiight then...

First off, thank you all for waiting, I appreciate your patience and will try to make it worth your while.

Second, if everyone could get there own posts up within three, four days at the most, that would also be appreciated; I did ask for dedicated participants, so don't make me kill anyone off right at the start.

With regards to the RP itself:

As you may have gathered, there are, possibly on the Hive World itself - possibly not...- four great tomes of power, one dedicated to each of the Chaos Gods, authored by a Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers. When bought together something happens, although no-one really knows, not even the guy who wrote them! Just did as he was told, really.

For now, please feel free to post up an introductory post for your characters, just another day in the Hive; they can more-or-less be doing what they like, until I herd them together through the magic of plot devices.

Do they knows about the tomes? If so, how much do they know? Do you even want them to have prior knowledge? Why are they on the planet in the first place, what/who has bought them there in the first place?

If they/you wish to interact with any NPC's, I'm happy to take on various roles (I am GM after all), so feel free to do that as well, or write them yourselves - just remember to ask me first, so that I can tell you what they know and so on.

I'll probably get a list of important people, locations and so on up at some point, but it's early days for now.

Aaaany questions?

@JbcoolWould it be possible for the book Sanath found in his story to be one of the tomes/a copy?

@Lord Coake Funnily enough, I copied the idea from you lot because, for some weird reason, almost all of you had a darned book in your application posts; what's up with that?!

To Answer your question though, no. I'd rather it not be one of the four integrally important boks of the entire plot, cheers very much. It can, however, be a tome of heretical knowledge containing a fragment within it if you like.

That's my final offer, going once...going twice...

AAActually, if you want it to be a copy, I suppose that could work; just how accurate it would be/how faithful to the original after 10k years I'm not quite sure. If accurate at all.

Choice is your's.

@JbcoolMy thoughts was that it was a poorly cobbled-together copy of info on each god, with the vast majority of the info being lost or horribly mangled. Just enough info would be left for Sanath to be confused and curious for more.

@Lord Coake Excellent! Please, go right ahead. :)

Much like our character submissions, my post is a collaboration between myself and @Keepvogel. This will probably become our usual format.

Mondays are my busy days so if I don't get posted up tonight it will be tomorrow. Good posts so far!

@Jbcool

Draco never actually learned any rituals from the voices in his head; The ones that he and his small cult use are rituals that he created himself with the resources and talents that he had on hand combined with some common sense observations that the voices in his head have provided him with. For example, each god has their own 'food' day, in which a meal that Draco believes would appeal to them is served up in a manner that would hopefully appeal to them.

Granted these rituals are less to earn blessings and more to earn some general good will, but it is something a bit different then the norm.

@Hank@Noxious

That's all fine, great stuff so far!

@Bright_Ops

Don't remember ever saying anything against it ;)

I'm all for a bit of improv, good sir, it does spice things up after all.

Good work all, I'm really liking it; hope you all are as much as me, otherwise what's the point?

Ah made a post. And might I say, everybody else seems to have done quite well in what they've done with their characters thus far.

EDIT: By the way, will there be equivalents to mutations from the Black Crusade book present upon the characters either at the start of the game or later on? Or will they just be applied as and when desired or needed?
