[OOC] warhammer 40k battle royale

[drallinix]

ok guys so this is a thread I decided to make based on warhammer 40k the setting is going to be three places due to there being three battles and we are going to play each battle one at a time the first is on a feral jungle planet and the others will be revealed in time. You can make your character from any faction and make yourself carry any of the gear of that faction(within reason no one is about to ride round in a chimera). You may be a psyker if you please but must state what powers you have in your CS and also you may have no more than three and for each psyker level you have another thing you have must get significantly weaker. If you play a custom space marine chapter in real life then you may also play as one from that chapter however you must write an elaborate and detailed background for that chapter and state what wargear they have and what their purpose is. You may do the same with an imperial guard regiment but again must state an elaborate backstory and wargear and purpose. If you play as a demon of chaos or chaos marine state what chaos god you serve and state what boon they have given you. If you play as a tyrannid you must state what bioform you are. other than that the rule is just to have fun.

name: vordran vex
age: 600 years old
faction: space marine
chapter: knights of the veil
position: high chancellor

chapter description

the knights of the veil are a chapter specializing in siege. They like the grey knights are gifted with the purest geneseed and have the finest weapons. They however are not as secretive as the grey knights and can very often be found fighting alongside the blood angels. These marines have three sects amongst them that house most of their warriors these can be told apart by their colors however all knights of the veil save for one have a primary color of white. The first is the order of the blade which houses those who forgo all ranged combat to learn the ways of war in close quarters. The leader of this particular order is known as the Champion. The members of the order of the blade have a secondary color of silver with eyes that glow the same. Those of this order all carry nemesis force weapons and can take any of the types. The next is the order of the flame. These marines have a secondary color of gold and forsake all training in close quarters to master the ways of ranged combat. The leader of this order is simply known as the Phoenix. These troops carry the best in the emperors arsenal but have a preference towards flamers and heavy assault cannons mainly heavy bolters. Finally there is the order of the scholar. These are the librarians and psykers of the chapter. The secondary adornment for them is a rudimentary bronze. These are the most unstable of all combatants utilizing psychic might to obliterate foes and strengthen allies. Their leader is simply known as the Ascendant. These leaders of the orders answer only to the chapter master who also goes by the name of the high chancellor. He alone has armor that is of different coloration than his battle brothers. His armor is midnight black and he carries only the best weapons his secondary color is a triad of gold,silver, and bronze on his shoulder pads. Like the members of the order of the blade he wears terminator armor however he has been trained in both ranged and close combat thus he has a storm bolter mounted on each arm.

history

he was recruited from a feral world when he was 17 and was put through the ardous trials of initiation. Surviving he became a knight of the order of the blade and was recognized repeatedly for his valor and bravery in battle. He respected command but would always tell his commander if he could find a better solution. eventually he was offered the position of champion which he refused in order to join the order of the flame. He again and again displayed valor beyond belief even coming close to death multiple times. After centuries of combat the former high chancellor was struck down in combat by a daemon prince whilst combating an incursion on a hive world. Vordran remembering his training retrieved the blade of the high chancellor and used it to strike down the foul daemon. as it lay dying he severed its head and had three librarians trap it there with psychic binding thus ending the incursion and saving the hive world. For his deeds he was given his armor and awarded the title of high chancellor. His legend does not end there he has many times stopped incursions on other planets but is best known for his combating of the great hunger known as the tyrannids.

Name: Krixus Mar
Age: 600 years old
Faction: Chaos space marine
Patron: Chaos undivided
Position: Champion of Chaos

Chaotic Gifts

As a Champion of Chaos, Krixus has been granted several abilities beyond even those of his space marine heritage, chief among them being the bestowal of senses far beyond what he was capable of before swearing his soul to chaos, granting him even greater speed as a result. Speed so great, in fact, that he is often little more than a blur to his enemies, raining a dozen devastating blows down upon them before they can even react, let alone defend themselves. The second most potent of these gifts is great strength, moreso even than the strongest of his former brothers. His third and final gift is that of resiliency, allowing him to withstand blows that only a space marine in terminator armor could hope to survive. All of these gifts combine to make him an exceptional warrior, almost without peer among the servants of Chaos.

Wargear

Chaos marine power armor, nemesis force sword, two sets of retractable lightning claws, a storm shield, and a lathe pattern jump pack.

History

Formerly a member of the Knights of the Veil, Krixus was recruited from a barbarian world very near the same time as Vordran was discovered, and the two men grew and trained and fought together for more than three hundred years before Krixus chose another path. Being a member of the Order of the Blade, Krixus was always in the thickest of the fighting, and a swordsman of nearly unparalleled skill. It was in the midst of one of these very common melees that Krixus found himself separated from his squad and surrounded on all sides by heretic traitors and daemon spawn when he first met the daemon prince that would lure him to the side of chaos. The twisted mass of flesh and bone promised him freedom and riches and pleasures untold, should be simply throw down his oaths to the emperor and swear his soul to Chaos. As can be expected of a space marine, he stoutly refused, expecting the horde that surrounded him to then attack and force him to make his final stand, as even a space marine is not invincible. Instead, the prince simply nodded and left, ordering his minions to let Krixus pass.

Once he had returned to his company, he told no one of the strange encounter, nor of those that followed. No matter where he went, no matter what campaign he fought, the prince always seemed to be there. Eventually, Krixus began to ask questions, curious about why such a creature would be prone to reason, and it was only a matter of time before the hooks he'd planted in Krixus' heart began to pull him steadily closer to chaos. It was not until their forty-second meeting that Krixus finally gave in and swore his soul to chaos, and it did not take him long to become one of its foremost champions.

[Schradinger]

It isn't finished (it still needs a picture and a history), but I wanted to get it posted since I'm working off my phone and I don't want to lose it.

[drallinix]

howd you get a nemesis force sword?

[Schradinger]

Formerly a member of the grey knights. It'll be in his history once I get it up.

[drallinix]

wait but the grey knights are incorruptable

[Schradinger]

Not incorruptible, it's just that none has been corrupted. But I see your point. Most of my knowledge of Warhammer 40K comes from the videogames, and I hadn't read the bit about none of the grey knights being corrupted when I posted that.

Alternatively, he could have killed one. Or been a member of your chapter. It could be interesting if I made him younger and he and Vordran knew each other before he fell. Add a bit more to the setting than just "these people all stumble onto each other and fight". If they knew each other, they'd have a personal reason for it.

[drallinix]

yeah and actually no the grey knights are INCORRUPTABLE I actually play them on the table top they are literally unable to be corrupted its why they can freely travel the warp without fear.

[Schradinger]

Like I said, the videogames and wiki are my only sources. The wiki says it's unknown why none of tem have been corrupted.

Anyway, does that mean you're okay with him being a former member of your chapter?

[drallinix]

sure why not

[Schradinger]

Awesome. I should be able to get the history posted tomorrow.

[drallinix]

sweet.

[Schradinger]

Alright, history's been added.

[drallinix]

nice but what if it was like a rivalry thing that drove him to it

[Schradinger]

That could easily be a large part of the reason, though we could work it into the fight itself pretty easily even with he history being as it is now. Due to how difficult it is to corrupt a space marine, it certainly wouldn't be any single factor that leads to it, so a combination of temptation and rivalry would be a good way to go.

[drallinix]

I posted but so far nothing

[Schradinger]

It might just be the two of us again.

[drallinix]

hopefully not I really wanted some more?

[Schradinger]

So did I. I'm starting to get a taste for these multi-opponent battles.
