| BIOGRAPHY |

Ferrum History

When colonists first arrived on Ferrum, they soon discovered that a Terran year of daylight followed by a year of night wasn't a terribly appealing prospect. Soon after the decision to migrate was made. After years of difficulty, eventually a two city world formed. Almost everyone on the planet would migrate between the two cities before nightfall in order to stay in the light. However, in one of these cities, heresy was brewing. Rouge traders and even Xeno scum would inhabit the city during the year of night. Over time more and more people would begin to be swayed by their influence and stay in the city for the night. When the people inevitably found out about this secret, they sought to punish the wicked. Before they could finish destroying the scum, an Inquistor arrived. After discovering that the Imperial Guard and PDF were already destroying the scum in the name of the Imperium, the Inquisitor graciously spared the innocent and only wiped out half of the planet with nuclear fire. After the dust settled and things warmed up again, the Governor sent some militants into the wastes to insure there would be no evidence of heresy left on Ferrum. After discovering signs of mutants, the Governor decided on a whim to send in a unit of Guardsmen to mop up. After six Terran months, the Guard returned, they were hardened and seemed to be far more perceptive than when they left and yet they had failed. Mutants were still roaming the wastes and thus began the tradition of the Patrol. Soldiers who went out into the wastes and returned achieved something of a heroic status. A mix of propaganda and the promise of greatness allowed Ferrum to achieve a force of all volunteers.

Short Backstory

Octavian was born on Ferrum and raised with the stories of the Patrol and their deeds. When he was 12 he joined the Imperial Youth Brigade which trained young people in survival and basic combat. At 16 he joined the PDF and after training he served up until his 18th birthday. When it arrived he began his patrol that would last for twice the normal length. Almost immediately after being dropped deep inside the wastes, he lost the single most important item to him, his compass. For a Terran year he fought and survived the harshness of the wastes until he finally managed to make it out. In recognition of his miraculous survival and exceptional fortitude, he was given the honorary title of "Long Patrolman". After a year of serving in the Imperial Guard units attached to Ferrum, he was transferred to the Ferrum Imperial Patrol. Soldiers in the Patrol were often called Rangers or Scouts but neither is quite right. The Patrol fights to win not to show how big their balls are, although they are quite large. Ferrum's production is almost solely devoted to producing the Ferrum-71 Autogun that is issued to members of the patrol. Which is the only rifle that has the capability needed by Patrolmen out in the wide Galaxy.

Being Requisitioned

Octavian had served in countless conflicts already by the time he first came in close contact with a Psyker. After a moment the Psyker realized that he was a Blank and jumped back in disgust. He was arrested just before being requisitioned by the Inquisitor. Octavian hates being away from the Patrol but he knows that the Inquisition serves a greater purpose. He is ready to do whatever is asked of him, be it reconnaissance or assassination.

[Wraithblade6]

Am I approved? Should I post my cs?

[Marshall]

@Asura

Updated CS. Same name. Same spot.

[Asura]

I'll be posting up reviews as soon as we get at least four sheets submitted. I won't put an ETA on an IC, but I'm looking to begin within the next week. So, if you're still making a character, get them fingers working.

[Asura]

@Wraithblade6@DepressedSoviet@Marshall

You three are free to post your sheets in the CS area.

[Wraithblade6]

@Big Dread@oppositionj are you two still making characters?

[Opposition]

@Big Dread@oppositionj are you two still making characters?

@Wraithblade6

I am indeed working on mine. It's taking a while as I am toying with a few different ideas, some of which I am unfamiliar with lore-wise. I should put my sheet up some time today.

Syla Selulata

| NAME |

Syla Selulata

| PROFESSION |

Adeptus Mechanicus Enginseer

| AGE |

22

| SKILLS |

• Machine Lore - As a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Syla has a very intimate knowledge of all things mechanical. She has learned how to work with machine spirits and is familiar with a vast majority of the Imperium’s technology.
• Cybernetically Enhanced - Due to the numerous implants given to her by the Adeptus Mechanicus, Syla has gained a few unique abilities stemming from her Mechanicus Implants, cybernetic limbs, and Mechadendrite Harness.

| FLAWS |

• Greed - Syla often times can’t help but satiate her wishes to expand her retinue of technology. The overt fascination with machines bred into her by the Adeptus Mechanicus has led to theft and endangerment on more than one occasion.
• Inexperienced - Due to her upbringing, Syla has spent very little time outside of the grasp of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Working her way up to the position of Enginseer has been a long and arduous journey, and it has left her with no experience in high stakes combat situations.
• Undying Curiosity - Above all other things in life is Syla’s search for explored technology. This, rather unfortunately, has extended to forbidden technology as well. The threat of heresy always lingers in Syla’s head.

| EQUIPMENT |

• Armor & Weapons
  
  • Mechanicus Implants - Being a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Syla was granted a host of implants common to Techpriests. Most of these implants provide framework for other cybernetics to build off of.
  • Cybernetic Arms - Syla has replaced both of her arms with bionic counterparts crafted by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
  • Mechadendrite Harness - Bestowed to Syla on her promotion to Enginseer, her Mechadendrite Harness mounts a host of different Mechadendrites.
  • Mechanicus Mask - The common face mask of the Cult Mechanicus' infantry and Skitarii soldiers. It keeps air filtered and enhances the vision of its wearer.
  • Flechette Blaster - Syla’s weapon of choice.
• Miscellaneous
  
  • Dataslate - Syla’s personal store of any bit of knowledge she would ever need.
  • Combitool - Built into the concealed compartment in Syla’s right cybernetic arm, the variety of probes, hooks, and other tools are commonly used when she is attempting to repair machines.

| BIOGRAPHY |

Raised upon the greatest Forge World in the Imperium, Syla was brought up amongst the masses. Her parents worked for the controlling faction of Mars: the Adeptus Mechanicus as rather low ranking menials. This was to be her life as well, and Syla was content to live out just as her progenitors. It wasn’t until a major accident within a factory that the girl’s fate changed. Losing an arm whilst working, Syla was granted a cybernetic limb to allow her work to carry on. After this procedure, Syla’s whole world was changed. After regaining her physical capabilities, an innate curiosity awakened within her. She wanted more. She wanted to become something more than human. As soon as she could afford to, Syla began production of her own cybernetic limb to upgrade her current arm and replace the other.

It was only then, when Syla’s constant seeking for new schematics and knowledge of cybernetics that the Adeptus Mechanicus had taken notice and indoctrinated her as they did her parents so long ago. She swiftly surpassed the rank of Menial and moved on to Lexmechanic, the rank in which she spent the least amount of time. Syla was soon after promoted to Transmechanic due to the heavy need of communications experts for an outgoing Navy fleet. where she spent a great deal of her life. After her first promotion, Syla was tasked with leaving Mars and working with the Imperium on Terra. She found herself only years later becoming a Transmechanic and being shipped off onto an Imperial Navy ship, maintaining communications in the battlefleet. Throughout it all, her love of working with machines never stopped. During down time, Syla would assist Imperium mechanics when they found themselves at a loss and no Enginseers were around.

This unrelenting work ethic paid off when Syla's ship saw its first devastating combat encounter with the forces of Chaos. Syla's unit was massacred, leaving the very few survivors scarred by the evil forces they had witness cut down their closest friends. Being one of the remaining survivors, Syla was the most suitable (and only) living members of the Adeptus Mechanicus able to take the place of the unit's fallen Enginseer, and having spent most of her career with the Imperial men coupled with Syla's knack for machines and intense work, she was the most suitable candidate aboard the ship. Thus began her career in the lowest branch of the Cult Mechanicus. This promotion coupled with the special encounter with the forces of Chaos also made her a target for working with the Inquisition. Having a firsthand experience with the combating of heresy, the Inquisition requested the Adeptus Mechanicus allow the Tech Priest to work instead with the Imperium as she had for so long. The occurrence of Cult Mechanicus members working with the Inquisition was anomalous, but not unheard of, and since Syla was nothing more than an Enginseer, the Machine Cult obliged. Now coveting the equipment of the fallen Enginseer, Syla readied herself for the Inquisition's trials.

@OppositionJ

Interesting character. Not many ladies get the Mechanicus treatment despite lore having nothing against female tech priests. Post her up in the sheet area.

That's our four, it seems. Applications will remain open, but I'll be starting us off in the coming days.

[Big Dread]

@Asura Sorry for the delay. Ended up out of town house hunting. Will have something for you today,

[Marshall]

[Wraithblade6]

So. Are we on schedule?

[Asura]

@OppositionJ@DepressedSoviet@Marshall@Wraithblade6

Ze first post is up.

[Marshall]

I'm probably going to bomb this first post. But here we go...

Edit: Actually I'm gonna wait for the OK. @Asura

[Asura]

You're free to begin posting.

[Wraithblade6]

Is there a doctor in the house?? @DepressedSoviet

[DepressedSoviet]

@Wraithblade6I'll get right to posting.

[Asura]

Typically this is where I'd move us forward, but on account of already taking a casualty (a record even for the Inquisition!), I do believe the ball is in @Marshall's court.

[Wraithblade6]

@Marshall *cough*
