Appearance

Standing tall yet average in weight, Brigan Vorche is an Elysian with a stubble around his chin. Brigan's hairstyle is similar to a crew cut--his brown hair trimmed short before it ends at his forehead with a widow's peak. Having inherited most of his father's genes, Brigan's irises are a vibrant green, almost akin to the color of a typical lasgun. His left cheek has a small scar, where an Eldar pirate had nicked Brigan in the face with a jagged blade. While his armor and uniform are standard Elysian, Brigan has taken to outfitting his gear with various pouches and clips to carry the shotgun rounds and grenades the Departmento Munitorum has allotted him.

Personality
Demeanor: Heroic

Eager to leap into battle both in a literal and figurative sense, Brigan could be used as the Imperium's poster child for the Imperial Guard. Whether he volunteers or not, Brigan is there to lead the charge on the front lines. While this is more than likely to get himself killed, Brigan would still desire to be the first one to leap from the trenches (or in Elysia's case, a Valkyrie) or to kick in a door to clear a building of potential targets. Brigan wishes to serve the God-Emperor as well as he can, and in his own words, the best way to do so is by being first onto the battlefield. The specialist only hopes that his courage inspires those of his regiment, lest they all fail the God-Emperor himself.

Background

Born to parents in the administrative section of a factory, Brigan had a well-off childhood. However, while this meant that Brigan was never familiar with the struggles many Imperial citizens experience, he still found his lifestyle dull. A young Brigan craved action and adventure, and having been born in a family busy tallying production quotas meant that there was none to be seen. There was never ganger on ganger action or battles against the Imperium's foes to be experienced. Such a lack of excitement had led to Brigan joining the Elysian PDF upon coming of age--a decision that his parents disagreed with, but ultimately accepted.

As Elysia is often afflicted by pirates targeting Imperial commerce, Brigan's tour of duty was one with some combat. The majority of his battles were against the Eldar scum, where his trusty shotgun had exploded the heads and guts of many xenos that sought to exploit merchant vessels. On one occasion, however, Brigan had ended in quite the pickle, where an Eldar had managed to gain the advantage over him and leave a nasty scar on his cheek. Nevertheless, this disadvantage was soon short-lived, and Brigan shoved the end of shotgun into the Eldar's stomach, blasting a gaping hole through his body that had slain the filthy xenos.

Eventually, Brigan's tour of duty within the PDF was over, but he wasn't quite done spending his time on the battlefield. Having accomplished his tour of duty, Brigan was allowed to join the elite, all-volunteer Elysian units. Soon learning how to handle the grav-chute alongside many other survival skills necessary for tactical insertion behind enemy ranks, Brigan had became a full-fledged Imperial guardsman. Brigan then saw more combat against heretics on Stiri III as part of the 37th Elysians. However, significant casualties drew the regiment away from the front until they were replenished, which by then Brigan had been sent elsewhere, to quell a rebellion on an important hive world known as Cecilia's Rest.

Kyllan Delstee

^{Height: 177 cm ★ Weight: 67 kg ★ Age: 26 years old ★ Hair Color: Brown ★ Eye Color: Green}

"And though you think the world is at your feet, it can rise up and tread on you." - Ian McEwan

Attributes

Name: Kyllan Delstee
Gender: Male
Age: 26 Years Old

Appearance

Tall like most men his age, Kyllan Delstee has a youthful appearance. His complexion is clean, as Kyllan is relatively untouched by the horrors of warfare. Additionally, Kyllan seems to be free of any kind of scarring or tattoos. Kyllan's hair is a short brown, almost in a wavy style while his eyes are of a greenish tint. Finally, his armor and gear is shiny, having been both cleaned by Kyllan and being relatively brand new.

Personality
Demeanor: Green

An inexperienced trooper previously of the 103rd, Kyllan has only seen limited combat since the day he joined the Elysian PDF. During his tour of duty, Kyllan was hardly subject to any pirate raiding on Imperial commerce, and he happens to be a fresh face in the Imperial Guard. While Kyllan understands how to fight through various strategies and maneuvers, he has barely any experience in using his training. In order to combat his inexperience, the 37th placed Kyllan alongside Brigan, both a veteran and a person willing to jump into the fire. Perhaps Kyllan might learn a trick or two from Brigan, but surviving by the side of a risk taker is an entirely different story.

Blessed Ignorance: Elysians know that the proper ways of living are those tried and tested by the generations that have gone before. Horror, pain and death are the just rewards of curiosity, for those who look too deeply into the mysteries of the universe are all too likely to find malefic beings looking back at them. Their wise blindness imposes a –5 penalty on all Forbidden Lore (Int) Tests.

Demolitions Doctrine: Elysians gain a +10 bonus on all Logistics Tests made to obtain grenades, missiles, explosives and special tank ammunition.

Comrade
Name: Trooper Geralt

Sex: Male

Age: 22

Appearance: Standing 5'9" Geralt is a young lad, handsome enough with a square jaw and a hardy physique that built itself thanks to working as part of a heavy weapons team. Lugging what is often the heaviest man-portable items and weapons in the entire imperial armoury, coupled with the regular rigours of training and combat, would be enough to harden any man or woman into a proper athlete.

Personality/Demeanor: Geralt is a little more reserved than Jayne. He is young for a guardsman and has only been working as Jayne's teammate for a few months. So her more impulsive habits and decisions still have a tendency to worry or outright frighten him. But little by little these habits are also rubbing off on him and he has much less reservations about following Jayne when she takes off to carry out one of her infamous 'tactical maneuvers'

[Warborn123]

Philip

Name: Philip Capet
Sex: Male
Age: 26
Specialty: Medic
Appearance: Philip certainly must have been handsome at some point in his life, but this is not that point in life, his face is usually completely covered in bandages due to his face being covered in wounds. He is Caucasian and weak, if he was at highschool he'd probably be that one nerdy kid.

Almost his entire body is made out of metal, his right arm and left leg are both made out of metal and his eyes are replaced with mechanical ones, he almost always wears sunglasses in order to hide this. whatever body parts that aren't metal are usually covered in scars due to a landing incident.

Personality/Demeanor: Nihilist

Phillip knows two things in life, 1: He's going to die. 2: There's no afterlife. there's just the void. since he knows he's going to die anyways he is incredibly brave, he can stand infront of a tank because to him, he's already dead. He's just waiting for the "death" part to happen. He is very laid back and chill, it's very hard to get him to care passionately about anything and he can be very lazy. he is a hedonist and wants to cram as many pleasures into his life as he possibly can, I wouldn't trust him with my daughters that's for sure. Though he is brave he is, he is absolutely terrified of heights. If Philip know's he's going to die soon he'll start taking painkillers.

Philip is surprisingly optimistic however. his belief of the Emperor is questionable at best and he hates the Religious zealotry that overtook the Imperium, though he usually hides this fact to avoid a early grave. He can be very philosophical and tends to question everything. In our world he likely would've became a philosopher like Nietzsche.

While he is incredibly brave he lacks the will to resist other kinds of pressures, he can stand infront of a moving tank, he can't stand in front of a full bottle of alcohol/drugs. This can make it very easy to pressure him into doing certain things.

Background: Philip had a relatively unusual childhood. He studied hard in school to become a medic, he was full of spirit and energetic, ready to fight and die for the Emperor. as soon as he was old enough he enlisted in the PDF so he could make his dream of glorious wars come true. Then after a while of working on the PDF and training he was put in the guard, that was the happiest day of his life. Then the worst day of his life came right after. one day he had jumped out of a air plane in a military campaign, all was well until his grav-chute malfunctioned and broke, he splat right on the ground like a pancake and died.

When he died he found out that there was no afterlife at all, there was only the void.

Fortunately the Emperor was on his side because one of the other medics managed to bring him back to life, he lived but he had sustained a impressive injury, most of his limbs were gone and his face was malformed and hideous, it took him two years to fully heal. while he was carried off to the hospital he realized that although he had cheated death once, he would inevitably return to it. nothing in his life mattered at all because he was going to die anyways.

Comrade
Name: Maurice Druon
Sex: Male
Age: 23
Appearance: Maurice was definitely handsome at some point in his life and that point of his life is now, he is blond with blue eyes, his hair is short and clean. he looks like he'd be on some kind of poster. he is much stronger built than Philip and has big bulging biceps.
Personality/Demeanor: Maurice is the polar opposite of Philip, where Philip is nihilistic Maurice is hopefully optimistic and believes that he'll live forever, where Philip's belief to the Emperor is questionable Maurice is a complete zealot. There are two kinds of people in the world, People who should be purged and people who love the Emperor. Maurice is incredibly pious and chaste, it is nearly impossible to get him to drink a cup of amasec without him complaining that it's "heretical".

Lathe-Pattern Multitask Servitor (#1)

Quirk: Ornately Crafted- Elaborate engravings and embellishments adorn every plate and motor on this servitor, demonstrating an unusual flair on the part of its creator. They may be etchings of the Cult Mechanicus, or icons of victory and Imperial power to impress the soldiers serving in its presence. Its master must devote much of his maintenance time to preserving the careful artistry of these adornments unblemished, or else risk angering the machine spirits housed within.

Imperial Aquillae surrounded by Mechanicus Cogs feature prominently.
