Scum & Villainy



This RP will be taking place on the world of Kordial Secundus, an Imperial Hive World of some 70 Billion people, and more specifically within Hive Proxima, second largest hive on the planet with some 12 billion people living within its cramped walls. Taking insperations from Necromunda: Hired Gun and Necromunda: Underhive Wars, the plot of the RP is fairly straight forward, you will be playing as the gangers, mercenaries, outlaws and other ne'er-do-wells living in the Underhive who have been compelled to work together by an external force in order to apply your ruthless skills and criminal trades for the promise of money.

Although the lore of 40k is vast and expansive, its NOT REQUIRED to know a lot about it. In fact, it might be more in character for you to not know the finer points and details about the universe as Hive Cities aren't exactly known for stellar education and worldlyness, the Underhive even less so. Anything that your character will be required to know will be told to you. If you want a quick summary of what a Hive World/City is, they are giant mountains of metal, industry, pollution, overcrowding and human misery. If you want a 2 hour audio book-like description of the lore, I'd recommend this video.

If you want an idea of what the aesthetics of this RP will be, think neo-medieval gothic cyberpunk. Augmentations and bionics go side by side with guilds taking the role of megacorps and the gang violence, dystopian city and transhumanism kicked up to 11.


Before nerds start yelling at me, this isn't supposed to be detailed or even complete. Its just supposed to be enough for a brief overview of what's happening.

(Also have ideas on how to turn this into an NRP but that's for a later date.)

I am 100% into this.

Preferably as a Ratling, it's kinda my thing, but I'll figure something else out if you don't want Abhumans.

@BangoSkank Idk if they'd be part of a gang but you could be some flavor of Ratling outlaw, assassin, bounty hunter, etc.

Works well for me. I tend to like the mercenary sort anyway. Wee lil' man with a cigar and a Long Las. Trotting along on his wee lil legs shooting things and trying not to get shot. Maybe pair him with an Adeptus Arbites or two, or if that's too much some Underhive Gangers.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a bail bond agent or a debt collector. Or just your regular street goon, the type to shakedown people or kick their ass. Although now that I think about it all three sound the same.

No on the Arbites since this is definitely illegal (as is just about everything short of breathing in the Underhive but even that's up for debate), but if you want to have a Ratling tall tale of you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy whose an Arbite, sure.

I would say best bet is that you either work for a gang or one of the shady fellows who work for like the Water or Promethium Guild. Shanking people if they don't pay their utilities bill. Being in a gang is no guarantee of safety, but its still marginally better than being alone.

Sounds good. I probably underestimate how powerful Arbites are. I know Astartes are like uber Gods. Will definitely have that tall tale idea. I love that.

Look look, call me a liar if you want but you'll see. I'm telling you man. He was like this tall. Big ass las. Killed fitty men. Said I was pretty damn tough for an Abhuman and he bought me a drink. Best night of my life. Aside from that one time on - hey...hey you're not listening.

What's the deal with the two Guilds? Can you give me a brief overview?

@Dark Cloud Becuase 40k runs on neo-medievalism, Guilds sometimes take the place of companies and corporations (although those still exist.) Think of them as the Water Company and the Natural Gas company but as mega-corps. Promethium is a fuel source that can be used domestically for heating and lighting but is primarily used to violate the Geneva Convention as fuel for flame throwers. Think of it as super space napalm.

They're not unique to Kordial and can be found just about anywhere there's a hive world.

Here is some character creation information. At the start of the RP, all of your characters will have been arrested but intercepted during transport. Thus the CS layout is meant to mimic a police record. It should be written as impersonally as possible for greatest effect.

Click here if you want to read up some more on canon Gangs on Necromunda.

I know very little about 40k, but I love crime fiction and hard-boiled stories so I'm down
