[OOC] Mordheim-The Hunt Begins

[Jaredthefox92]

Plot:
Mordeheim, the former Capital of Ostermark and once a very tranquil and prosperous state within the Empire has been hit by a cataclysmic comet. Thus she was nearly destroyed along with her population on that tragic New Years Eve. Now, the precious Wyrdstone left from the comic lays within the city and all manner of human, creature, monster, and even heretic search for such stone for power and profit. The race is on to gather the stone and to defeat any other warband who opposes you!


Rules:
1.This roleplay will be set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, thus by signing up you acknowledge that your character can be slain at any point. The gods are cruel and merciless.

2.You can choose from any specific race that has been allowed on the tabletop.However, I'm going to try to have forces of order and disorder separate,(except for mercenaries.)

3.We shall use dice and I, Jaredthefox92 shall GM this. My say is final, however if you have an issue please contact me.

4.I may ask for co-GM's, however I may have to trust you and if the GM tries to be "that guy", I will remove this privilege of helping me.

5. This is to be a massive roleplay, so I expect people to roleplay their part, accept the cynical grimdark nature of the lore, and to work very hard on their rolepalying.

6. I would like to address this apparent oddity, I would like for you to post your CS in the character tab. If there is an issue I shall contact you there unless we speak about it in general here. I know this rule will be broken and I'm going to be easy going as this isn't the usual nature of posting here, but I would like to make this sort of my "quirk" for roleplaying.

7.We shall start off small with two warbands, one representing Chaos, and the other representing order. I will allow characters to branch out and enter other warbands as more are created. For now we basically want two easy starting teams.

8. See these references for details:

gurth.home.xs4all.nl/mordheim/Mordhei…

9.Do not be afraid of being a newbie to the Warhammer universe. If you need assistance please don't hesitate to contact me. :3

10.We shall sign up before we begin, that way I can contemplate on a starter for both starting warbands and both teams can start off balanced.

If I play, there's a few races I'm interested in.

1. Beastmen.
2. Sisters of Sigmar.
3. Araby (as mercenaries).
4. Gobbos of some kind.

Any complaints on any of these?

[Chicken]

Also, are we allowed to play a small group of minion-level units rather than a hero character? (Example: instead of playing a Gor or the like, playing a trio of Ungor.)

@Chicken

I guess, but know that your power will be weaker than an individual hero. Oh, and you'll have to micromanage them all. Canon fodder or soldiers I think would be fine.)

1.You can do that. I mean they're tough to play but you can do that.

2.Sure

3.Eh, they're a bit too far from Mordheim.

4.Sure.

[Chicken]

I'll wait a bit and see who makes what, then. I'll let others fill out the two sides. I may pitch Araby at you again if Order needs some less scrupulous mercenary types on its side, but I'll go with Sisters of Sigmar if nobody represents them.

Likewise, if Chaos ends up needing more folks I'll take either Beastmen or Gobbos.

@Chicken

Okay, the thing about Araby is I think they would just be lumped in with our band of order rogues instead of an actual faction.

Alright, I play on making a powerful Chaos character for this if we need a leader.

@Jaredthefox92

That was entirely my intent!

If we end up needing one I can make some sort of Beastman leader-type. I'll need to review the old Mordheim rules though. I was trying to get into Wyrd Wars before (a fan-made version of Mordheim), but I've never actually had the chance to play Mordheim IRL. I've watched a ton of it on YouTube, though.

@Chicken

I've played the game, but I think I have a Chaos sorceress idea for a leader, however she could use a bodyguard no matter what form.

[Chicken]

I was looking at the official tabletop Mordheim rules and at your character. I noticed he has some... pretty darned high Weapon Skill / Ballistic Skill to start. Are we going by tabletop starting character rules, or are we making our own stuff up? What limitations are you putting on player characters? Etc.

(Example: official rules show Mercenary Captains starting with 4 WS 4 BS.)

Am I right in assuming we're being a little more free-form with stats?

Oh dear, I must have overlooked that. I see, well I'll fix that ASAP. I actually wanted to go by the standard rules. I'm just used to putting '5's for normal and '6-7's for above average. Thank you for bringing that up. I sometime overlook things when I'm in haste to post.

@Jaredthefox92

No worries. For the record, I'm focusing on things that are 1a, 1b, or 1c on the Broheim website (Warbands and Hired Swords), which is a resource that might be useful for prospective players, aye? (1a is official; 1b and 1c are technically unofficial but pretty dependable.)

Also, I think your guy should have 8 Leadership, right? (See: this one.)

I see, well by all means bring on resources that I can use to mod this thing. Ah, I see. I can fix that as well.

[Jaredthefox92]

(I'm archiving our disorder warband leader for me to work on and post later in the character tab. Feel free to read up on this and give any light suggestions that can read up by quoting this post. Just know it's late and I'm about to go to bed.)

Deity: Slaanesh

Languages: Reiklander, Bretonnian

Abilities:
.Spellcraft
.Some melee proficiency

Mutations: Mark of Slaanesh, glowing mystical eyes, exposure to the warp has darkened her skin to be pale with a slight charcoal like blend.

Specific weaknesses:
-She's semi-mortal, meaning she cannot age but she can be killed.
-She starts off as not the best melee combatant
-She can be rather obnoxious at times, thus this maybe bad with leadership issues.

Stats

WS(weapon skill): 2

BS (Ballistic Skill:) 1

(S) Strength: 2

(T) Toughness: 3

(W) Wounds: 1

(I) Initiative: 4

(A) Attacks: 1

(LD) Leadership: 8

Appearance:
What was once a pretty and yet studious looking auburn haired maiden has now become a twisted and warped disciple of Slaanesh. While her auburn brown hair has retained it's hue, her skin has become darker brown due to the affects of raw magic upon her body. Her eyes have lost their usual color and now glow with a supernatural illumination to an almost daemonic way of various colors and hues. She wears a culist hood yet even through the eye holes her unnatural sight radiates around her.

Monica is around normal female height and is known to wear a black cultist cloak on her while moving in the shadows. Her primary weapons is her serpentine like Chaos staff which symbolizes Slaanesh with it's radiant icon and a simple cultist dagger. However, it is her manipulation of the Winds of Magic that make her a truly dangerous foe and not her melee prowess.

Wargear: Ceremonial dagger, Staff, a simple cloak and chaos magister hood.

Personality:
Monica is as power hungry and obnoxious as they come, she is also very intelligent and from her idol boasting may come omens of malice as well. The Witch of Excess is manipulative and sadistic mistress indeed. She relishes in the suffering of others, including using her own pawns to cause said suffering. The screams of the tormented are music to her as she views herself the musician of pain and suffering. The Wyrdstone is merely resources and tools she uses to achieve this twisted end.

Ironically, it wasn't lust that drawn her to chaos but rather her pride. Monica started off as a young and gifted pupil, but later on she basically sought out to perfect herself and to use magic to achieve the unthinkable, to make herself immortal and eternally beautiful. This folly would eventually be her downfall from the college and lead her down a path to eventually become a terror in Mordhiem after the comet fell.

Her arrogance knows no bound, however she is also a sadist as well. In fact she relishes in the suffering of others and joyously mocks and belittles her victims as well as chuckles at the fates of her minions to be used in her service behind closed doors. She often will find amusement in just about any dire situation, even her own. Still, she is also dedicated to serving the Ruinous Powers and is not to be underestimated. If she was truly able to reach her full potential things would become quite ominous indeed!

History:
Monica actually was born to a family of Bretonnians who had immigrated to Mordheim prior to the fall of the comet. After her family toiled and worked for citizenship, eventually they became part of the Empire where young Monica heard about the colleges of magic. It was here where she was put through the rigorous tests to harness and control the Empires Lores of magic. However, she would have a streak of being rather unsuccessful. This did not impede upon her will as she kept studying and trying to be better at manipulating the winds to become a capable imperial magister.

However, as every fallen star, Monica had a dramatic decline from grace. Eventually as she became better in her work she became arrogant and more hungry to perfect her studies and work. Eventually it would get to the point where she would look into places where she wasn't supposed to and search for things that were forbidden. This eventually would draw her into the service of Chaos.

Likes and Dislikes

Likes: Control, power, being perceived as beautiful (very common among followers of Slaanesh), witchcraft and chaos sorcery, seeing her schemes carried out, the suffering of others, Chaos spreading, alone time to contemplate and study, nighttime, laughing at others expense.

Dislikes: The Empire, people ordering her around, her plans not succeeding, losing control of her power, Dwarfs in particular, uncontrollable minions or problems with leadership, her power backfiring on her, being told she's ugly.

Trivia:
Monica actually was inspired by another version of her I made for my Sonic Crossover AU setting, Chaos Mobians.
