[OOC] Are We the Bad Guys? - A WH40k RP [Mature]

[Wraithblade6]

I was gonna delay to see wtf rigged fortune did, but maybe multiple players on on ship can't agree on what it's doing. I'm gonna post.

[BCTheEntity]

@Wraithblade6 Man, Lucius doesn't even know it's there right now. He was too busy not getting crushed to paste by the hobbled-together contraption he was on to particularly notice which ships in his viewport came from where.

[Wraithblade6]

@BCTheEntity Speaking of not getting crushed...

[Necroes]

Hmm... a sudden insurgence of chaos cultists, eager to throw themselves into the warp, eh?

How positively fortuitous! I was wondering where my eager shaman was going to find the sacrificial lambs he needs for his rituals.

[Hank]

Expect a post from me tomorrow.

[Sophrus]

is there any more room here? i would love to get in on this.

[Jb]

@Sophrus Create and send me a sheet, and we'll see.

[Sophrus]

heavy WIP, i should have it done tonight sometime but this is the basic premise.

Because you all have already started i was planning on showing up with an imperial navy boarding party and some problems happen until i join up with you guys or tricked into helping or whatever.

@Jbcool Am I on the right track?
Edit: have been changing slightly

Ga'duk

Name: Ga'duk

Gender: M

Age:34

Faction/Race/Species: Ogryn

Sub-Faction: Navy Boarding Fighter

Rank/Position: Bone'ead Bullgryn

Mental and Physical Traits: Ga'duk is highly intelligent for an Ogryn, he can count all the way to eight AND spell his name (usually... well, sometimes). after this he is large even compared to most Ogryn making him massively strong, having out muscled many an Ork Nob during a skirmish aboard an Ork Kruiser.

Ga'duk utilizes his bulk with terrifying results as he uses an ax that greatly resembles and Ork Choppa to batter through armor or ship bulkheads. He also carries a thick shield which is simply a large slab of armor with a handle, he is generally good at putting the shield between himself and bullets but it may take a couple of shells hitting his body armor to get his attention. He also has a simple Grenadier Gauntlet but he rarely uses it unless specifically ordered to. This however makes up his entire tactical ability, if he can not simply out-muscle his competition he is at a loss. If carefully directed he can be of assistance in ways other than violence such as "carry this missile" or "do NOT let anyone except ME onto the ship UNTIL i come back" (although this second command may be rather complicated for him)

Ga'duk's belief in the Emperor is ironclad and rock solid, although his severe stupidity allows this to be manipulated easily as he associates any kind of positive concept like "Good" to the Emperor. He even goes so far at attempting to write letters to the Emperor, as he had seen other soldiers writing to their family and loved ones. Unfortunately his letters and entirely unintelligible consisting of random squiggles on the parchment.

Appearance: Ga'duk looks like most other Ogryn that have gone though the neurological enhancements with several cybernetic plugs jutting from his thick skull. He is huge, with bulging muscles straining against his heavy armor, he carries around a large gut as well with an extra hundred pounds of fat on his frame. This however does little more than add more mass for him to throw around. He is face is round and slightly childish, although heavily scarred from his service, he has a messy mop of dark hair sprouting from his head but this is usually covered by an armored environmental mask

He has several tattoos that where applied while being told that the tattoos where the Emperors will, for everyone's safety. They are stylized depictions of rank and unit so that he can be easily identified when he gets lost and returned to his commander without hassle. the first tattoo is his unit number of 55 over a tattoo of a bull's head, the second is a large black aquila eagle across his chest. the aquila was a request by Ga'duk to emulate Astartes armor because he has a slight fascination with them.

Wargear: Ogryn sized Axe - reminicent of Ork choppa, with cleaner imperial design
Combat Sheild - A huge slab of armor plating with straps to carry with
Grenadier Gauntlet - a rugged gauntlet used to soften targets before Ga'duk charges them with his axe

History:

[Necroes]

@Sophrus It should be noted, ogryn are substantially larger than astartes. Ork are generally the size of an astartes when in his power armor. Ogryn, by constrast, well...

They're a bit bigger than that.

Ogryn average the better part of eight to ten feet tall. It's actually a common misconception that astartes are very large individuals. Most of their bulk is in width, not height. They're taller than the average human, sure, but it's not unheard of for unmodified humans to be just as tall, if not taller, than the boys in blue.

[Sophrus]

@Necroes

Oh, my mistake. I'll fix that too. Thx!

[DepressedSoviet]

@NecroesThere's a reason Catachans are called 'Baby Ogryns'. Also explains why Gunnery Sergeant Harker is able to carry a (Imperial Guard variant) Heavy Bolter like a Space Marine does, his size and strength are basically as close to a Space Marine as an unmodified human can get.

[Wraithblade6]

@Sophrus

[Sophrus]

@Wraithblade6

basically yes

[Necroes]

It's not unheard of for ogryn to turn to chaos. Rare, sure, but far from unheard of. They are the result of worlds devoted entirely to prisons being left to their own devices during the dark times. Sure, they were eager to join up with the emperor, but their culture before hand was a world ruled entirely by size and strength. That, and as weak-willed as they are, it's also not unheard of for them to become possessed. There are any number of ways to make an ogryn a chaos follower.

Hell, Urgrugg's always happy to instill a willing mind with a warrior of his great, green, cunningly brutal god.

[Sophrus]

@Necroes

I was building that part with the vague idea that he simply assumes any form of religion, from Gork and Mork to chaos to the greater good, are all versions of the emperor but only different methods of worship.

Although his thought process will likely be more along the lines of "dey is prayin' mus' be to da Empoor"

[Jb]

@Sophrus Get the history sorted, and I'll accept it.

Because you all have already started i was planning on showing up with an imperial navy boarding party and some problems happen until i join up with you guys or tricked into helping or whatever.

@Sophrus

Considering that any help/Imperial force is quite a while away, not so sure on this...

Tell you what, how about he shows up with an advance scout vessel - something along the lines of a Cobra-class Destroyer or Claymore-class Corvette - and then you can board and such and such? Just nothing too large AKA larger than a Frigate...cus I got plans.

[Necroes]

So, by my count, it's @DepressedSoviet and @Hank who are yet to post.

Out of curiosity, is it convenient or obstructive that they both happen to be on the same ship?

[Sophrus]

Alright, how is this?

History:Ga'duk was born on a high gravity world like most other ogryn, but he was brought into service of the Imperium at a very young age. He was taught above all else to worship the one true Emperor, beyond this he was simply taught his duties through muscle memory. He mostly cleaned, mopping the floors of the small battle station above his home world. He did this quickly and quietly several years, the simple repetition very relaxing to young Ga'duk. while still a child, but still the size and strength of most other humans, he was conscripted into the Imperial navy. His conscription was due to his high intelligence as compared to most ogryn where he was given the BONE neural enhancement. He was raised from then on as a warrior, the assignment suited him just fine there was a thrill from blasting things and smashing things. However part of him still missed the simple days of mopping kilometers of hallway.

Ga'duk excelled in his role of dumb muscle for the Imperium. He earned several commendations for his bravery and skill in battle aboard many an Ork ship. The trinkets where given to him "On behalf of the Emperor" and where treasured beyond any other of his possessions. The medals where painstakingly taken care of and affixed to the inside of his armor so that they wouldn't be damaged.

Ga'duk was reprimanded once in his esteemed career because he was "captured" by a team of Tau Fire-Warriors. He was sent ahead as a forward scout and meat shield in case the Tau had set up a defensive line around a corner. Ga'duk had found a half dozen fire-warriors who simply told him to "freeze" in low-gothic, an order which he decided to follow, although it did trouble him some that he was taking orders from an enemy. The warriors brought him to several places around the ship on their patrol all the while talking about the "Greater-Good" which intrigued Ga'duk as he assumed they where praying to the emperor. He was later found an hour later with the fire-warriors trying to explain why the "Empoor" and the "Graatur-Gud" must be the same thing in his extremely limited capacity. The squad that found him killed the fire-warriors and "rescued" Ga'duk then reported what they had found to his commander which earned his a mild lashing.

He never forgot his brief time with the Tau and incorporated some of their ideas into his worship of the Emperor, not only serving the Emperor because he is supposed to but because it is for the greater good as well. This change in Belief was strange and noted in his records but ultimately allowed to continue because his belief in the emperor was just as strong as it ever had been.

He is now serving on the crew of a small frigate as a heavily armored Bullgryn who specializes in boarding actions with a squad of other specialists.

@Sophrus Looks good! Fell free to get posting.

So, by my count, it's @DepressedSoviet and @Hank who are yet to post.

@Necroes

You are correct, and both have a habit of disappearing for extended periods it would seem...

I'll get another post up soon anyway, help us along.

@Jbcool

Well, they are about to lead the boarding action of a space hulk...
