You guys need a train driver? Ive been keeping my eye on this thread and I’m happy to be the tech priest that communes with the machine spirit! Plus it gives me an opportunity to make up/ utilize all of the 40k tech jargon that fills the mechanicus wiki. Let me know :)

(Cool to see you here @The Fated Fallen, we really have the same RP interests lol)

Always looking for more people. Climb on board engiseer.

I was planning on having my Skitarii start to break programming and begin to gain sentience, at great risk to itself. Now I guess those risks have gone significantly larger now that there's a lot of other Tech-adepts who just got on board. In the words of Malcolm Reynolds "It's getting mighty crowded in my sky."

But Skitarii do have sentience. Well most of them do. Their servitors certainly don’t. Maybe your character is just more willing to engage in tech heresy.

Lore learning in progress...

I was under the impression some of them did, but not especially capable of life outside of constant oversight from an alpha or something like that.

But still, tech heresy is always good

As far as I'm aware, they're fully sentient. Some of them just choose to lobotomize parts of their brains that deals with emotions. I maybe wrong about this though.

Name: Artisan Adept Ciaphus

Height: 6’4
Weight: 358
Notable Physical Features: Mechadendrite Tentacles, various appendages to control the Locomotive, no flesh visible.

backstory

Ciaphus, The Artisan Adept has grown in pursuit of perfection. Glory to the Omnissiah, He was assigned to Hypecia and given the task of constructing its locomotive system. If he could feel emotions Ciaphus would have experienced complete bliss. He runs his train, The Indomitbale Spirit with cold will and iron speed, running and controlling his servitor crew with brutal efficiency to ensure the fastest of times and the littlest amount of error made. However this is all not well known, as he is a secretive adept. Most have never heard or seen him, and very few have heard His scratchy, fox laden voice over the loudspeakers. When the evacuation commenced Ciaphus received word that he was to stay and direct any followers to the hive city. From this direction, he has spread his skeleton crew of servitors all over Hypecia to gather whoever remains. Any other Information Is classified and can only be given to [REDACTED], such as train route, optimal efficiency, passenger lists,and optimal threats

@Paradoxial Looks good, though your picture is messed up on my end

Think I fixed the picture :) let me know if it’s still broken

Much better!

Even then, tech priests like Dirka who care more about science than worship would see it more as a learning opportunity. There adepts, such as the character from the Horus heresy series Correl Zeth, make everything about learning as much as possible. They see the cruel process of turning one to a servitor, or a heavily restricted Skitarii, as something for criminals and traitors only.

In most cases yes, but There have been the occasional adept that has put heavy restrictions on them to where they are not much better than servitors in many cases.

Haha, the over religious, secretive, ritual bound, barely science based adept you’re talking about is basically my entire character! (Also considering the entire train is run by dozens of servitors under Ciaphus’es direct control.

Accepted. Get your sheet up in the char page.

I’m gonna be starting this shindig sometime later. The Indomitable Spirit is ready for its final ride.

@Ollumhammersong I made my character an officer of the PDF. Maybe our characters would know each other in some way?

Ere’ we go boyz! WAAAAAAAAAGH!

I've posted! I'm not sure if it is actually possible to upload a post before midnight, so please please please tell me if there's any mistakes or weirdness that needs sorting out

(I'm aware that the weird mechanical-order thing is written poorly and is just kind of bad, but this is probably the only post where it'll be a part of to any degree)

I think I am going to have to withdraw from this. I hope everyone has a good time.
