[OOC] Warhammer 40,000: Tales of the Inquisition

[Mortarion]

@Eisenhorn: Thanks for the kind word, and yes I'd like that a lot. Thank you again

@Fallen Muse: Thanks to you as well

[Eisenhorn]

Alright, the IC post is up, feel free to start posting and get this ball rolling!

[Honored Brother]

Going to wait for others to post before I do.

[Commian]

I'm sorry but I am unable to write up a character for this. I have lost all inspiration over that last few days and it is unlikely to return under any reasonable length of time. Have fun everyone.

~Mortarion,
Feel free to create a character now. I can't even post a one.

[Mortarion]

@Commian: Thanks for this opportunity

@Eisenhorn: Any slot you need to fill, or is it left to my choice? Sorry, don't want to fill a roll someone has already taken.

[Eisenhorn]

@Commian: Fair enough, do take care of yourself.

@Mortarion: Its your choice, you can see the roles other people have taken so far in their characters, so I trust you can come up with something you'll enjoy playing.

[Mortarion]

@Eisenhorn: Hmm, ok. One last question, is it possible to have more than one character? Or with the current number of characters that are in the RP this isn't allowed?

EDIT:

Here is my char

Constantine Drustos

Name: Constantine Drustos, also know as Omicron-Sigma 657 within the ranks of the Adeptus Mechanicus (The first name is the one he uses when he communicates with people outside the Mechanicus while the second one is his "official" name within the priesthood of mars, so to speak)

Gender: Male

Age: 120

Appearance:

Equipment:
-Ballistic Mechandendrite (Shoulder Mounted)
-Exploration Mechandendrite (Shoulder Mounted)
-Medicae Mechadendrite (Sternum mounted)
-Utility Mechadendrite (Sternum mounted)
-Two leather-bound books, one details The Sixteen Universal Laws of the Omnissiah while the second one is a chronicle of his explorations/designs.
-Dog-tags from the Harakoni Warhawks 358 regiment

Personality: Omicron-Sigma is what could be considered a radical within the Adeptus Mechanicus, a fact which originates from the many wonders he saw during his time in an Explorator Vessel which marked him for life along with the teachings of the Magos in charge of said vessel. This fact should not be taken for a disregard, or worse devaluation, of the achievements that humanity managed to accomplish in the ancient ages, it is the desire for a return to this which guides him on his current path: said path is marked by the desire to take what has come fro before and experiment upon it to find new ways to alter or enhance it; along with this he scoffs at the idea of merely waiting for a STC to appear to give them what they need for a certain situation or to improve, believing that by emulating their ancestors -with this he means in experimenting like them with new technologies- they can manage to accomplish the same (though he still finds the STC's to be great relics from the pasts). Contrary to most other adepts of the Omnissiah, Drustos enjoys talking with people from the outside -specially if the topic is related to any form of technology- and tries to maintain at least cordial relations with the people he meets; however this friendly face is usually replaced by the cold logic from which most Martian priests are known the moment he enters the battlefield, not hesitating to sacrifice someone -even if said person is their friend- if it would serve to advance the mission,a change which occurs near-instantaneously, along with this is also a deeply rooted distaste for senseless sacrifice -be it either living beings or machinery- but knows better than to disobey should the order be given by the Inquisitor.

History: Constantine Drustos, or Omicron-Sigma 657 as he was known back then, started his career in service to the Machine-god as a lowly Enginseer in the Harakoni Warhawks, were he tended to the Machine-spirits of the various aircrafts used by the Warhawks to perform their grav-chute combat drops. It was during this time that his mentor Epsilon-Zeta 656, and future leader of the Explorator fleet in which he served, recognized his potential when he made a reparation on a Valkyrie using components that -while not heretical- were frowned upon during an operation along with the Skitarii forces that the Magos was commanding. Following this, the Magos took him under his wing and shortly after that he was embarked on the Exploration fleet of his master.

His master believed that by finding enough components with the Explorator Fleet he had at his command, he could obtain enough resources -lost technology, and information, wise, not actual material resources- that would allow him to propose to the Martian council to begin experimenting and innovating on minor technologies, and if that produced beneficiary results major technologies later on. The council deemed the knowledge obtained too little, and the idea of Epsilon-Zeta 656 too radical to truly implement. Desperate to achieve his lifelong dream, Epsilon-Zeta utilized all that he had at his disposition to try and make his dream come true; by this time the, recently renamed Constantine Drustos, was already a magos and had to watch as his mentor and everything related to him was lost on the fool pursuit of the goal the magos had set.

He eventually choose to follow in Epsilon-Zeta 656 footsteps and became an Explorator-class magos of his own, but instead of trying the same route as his mentor Constantine decided to seek the Inquisition trying to see if he could one day seek patronage within the shadowy organization, owning to it's considerable power, to continue the dream of his old master.

Position in Retinue: Being an Explorator-class Magos, Constantine acts both as the groups resident mechanical expert, assigned to such duties as maintaining the various equipment of the retinue or as a hacking expert based on what the situation demands, and -should the situation truly require it- emergency chirurgeon. He is also present during some of the interrogations, mainly used to stabilize the ones being interrogated should it be needed.

Well, here's my character, hope it's good enough to be accepted and if anything needs to be changed -or if you'd rather have me scrap the character in it's entirety- don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks for your time, and sorry that the image is to the side, couldn't find one that I liked to give the vibe I was searching in my character.

[Fallen Muse]

@Mortarion, Very Cool character I'd say it's approved. Also about the two characters we're kind of full I feel a little guilty about having two myself, but i already had them planned before the interest was even made. Go ahead and make a post.

This message brought to you by your friendly neighborhood co-gm

[Mortarion]

@Fallen Muse: Thank you very much for the swift response, and for accepting me, and I did not expect to be able to have two characters, it was a flight of fantasy while walking back home but hey, you never loose anything by asking, eh? Anyways, going to post in shortly and once again thanks for the swift response.

[Mortarion]

Double post, sorry checking the site on a tablet as well *facepalms* and it sent the same message again! my apologies

[Eisenhorn]

Muse is certainly right, welcome to the retinue. And she is also correct on the character amount for now, we'll see as things progress, but for the time being, we'll be keeping it to one character a person, barring prior plans that were made of course.

And as a general note, once the last few people have posted, I'll get into the brief proper, and we'll kick this thing off right proper, yea?

[Mortarion]

@Eisenhorn: Thanks to you as well, and I can't wait. So, with that said I am going to go work on my post now.

EDIT: Posted, hope it's good. Also, I might explore other aspects in the IC about Constantine lke quirks and other things like that hope it isn't a problem.

Alright, gonna have to make this quickly!

Name: Edwin Venator

Gender: Male

Age: 30

Appearance:
Edwin appears rather unassuming compared to the rest of the crew, wearing a stained medical jacket over a bloodied suit of flak armor from his days in the Imperial Guard. He has a scar on his back from when he was stabbed by a mutineer. However, he's not to be underestimated; he knows his way around the body with his knives, and he's a good shot with his guns.

Equipment:
Lasgun and Laspistol
2 Combat Knives
Diagnosticator (Diagnostor) - The Diagnostor is a sophisticated medical cogitator used across the human-settled galaxy. It can detect and diagnose almost every ailment known to the Imperium, and can be incorporated into medical kits, Servo-skulls, and other dedicated medical Servitors. Any individual trained in medical knowledge in the Imperial Guard understands its use.
Injector - Edwin's injector is a gauntlet, with a machine holding several injectors mounted on it. The machine can rotate in order to switch between drugs.
Medikit - Small, compact, and reliable. Each comes with a diagnostic cogitator called a Diagnosticator complete with bio-scanner and bioprobes, along with chemicals, drugs, and other means to treat a variety of injuries and ailments.

Personality: For the most part, Edwin is a quiet, polite man who wears a small smile on his face almost all of the time. He tries raising the humor of his teammates or simply making conversation from time to time, but he knows when to shut up or speak out. He is a respectful, submissive type, used to taking orders from superiors whom he trusted to be in the right and know what they were doing. He is inquisitive and curious, asking questions that he thinks he can ask when his curiosity is piqued. Most wouldn't expect a man of such a gentle disposition to be part of an Inquisitor's retinue, and Edwin himself is still a little shocked by the Inquisitor's decision. He has a budding attraction towards Interrogator Cassius, but keeps it quiet out of both duty to his Inquisitor and fear of how either master or apprentice would react to his feelings. He doesn't know if they know about this regardless of his silence, but he has occasionally guessed that they might know.

However, Edwin has a dark side. Fascinated with the human body, he takes as much interest in healing as he does in torture, casually talking to victims and explaining what was happening to them as he took a blade or a needle to them. However, this is more of a coping mechanism against what he's told to do, rather than a form of malice or sadism. He prefers healing over torture, but will do what needs to be done in the name of the Emperor.

History: Edwin was born on a relatively well-to-do planet in the Imperium, living a comparatively good life before being conscripted into the Imperial Guard. In an attempt to avoid direct combat, he tried specializing as a medic, but he found that he craved the opportunity to put his skills into good use, taking pride in the fact that he was saving lives.

Then one day a mutiny was suspected among his regiment, and Edwin's knowledge of the human anatomy got him picked as the Commissar's assistant in rooting out suspected traitors. Some of these suspected were his close friends during his time in the Guard, but Edwin slowly created the other side of himself in order to fulfill his duty and try to drown out the screams and whimpers. When the conspirators were all found and executed, the Commissar recommended Edwin to his colleagues, where he learned more about chemistry, biology, anatomy, medicine, and other fields he needed in order to improve his skillset along the way. Eventually he found himself before Inquisitor Xersus, and has been by his side ever since.

Position in Retinue: The actual medic of the group, though he is also versed in poisoning and torture if the Inquisitor requires this of him.

So, how's that?

[Fallen Muse]

@crazy guy looks good get to posting

[Fallen Muse]

We're waiting on Matt and Crazy. Need your posts so we can start moving things along

[Mortarion]

Wouldn't it be simpler to PM them? Sorry if this sounds offensive, or anything like that, but I think it would be more efficient to send them a PM, sorry to bother

[Fallen Muse]

I shouldn't have to.

[Mortarion]

Sorry, I guess you are right, hope I didn't bother you too much

[mattmanganon]

I am sorry for not posting, been busy, I will be busy for most of tomorrow as well, and if I do post tomorrow, it'll be in the evening. It might have to wait until saturday.

[Crazy Guy]

I can't post until tomorrow; school work is keeping me busy.

Question: How are the members of the retinue entering the scene? Do they have transportation arranged for them?
