[CHAR] For The Greater Good! (A Tau Warhammer 40k RP)

[Eisenhorn]

Name: Shas'Vre Fal'shia Or'es Kais

Caste: Fire Caste

Rank: Shas'Vre Pathfinder

Sex: Male

Race: Tau

Age: 29

History: Born on the Tau Sept of Fal'shia, born into the Fire Caste made his future set out as all members of the Tau are. At the age of 14 he was inducted into the Fire Caste as the newest Pathfinder in the Cadre. Under more experienced Shas'ui within the Cadre, he was taught the finer parts and skills within the art of scouting that Pathfinders required. Once he came of age he was deployed alongside his Cadre into various scouting efforts across the Tau warzones, scouting out and marking various targets that the rest of the Tau forces would proceed to hunt and kill. Early on, Or'es Kais was issued a Rail Rifle and proved a complete natural with the weapon, naturally good with aiming and taking out targets with efficient and accurate effort. His skill and talent with the Rail Rifle accelerated his natural role within the squad, as he performed the role of taking out light armor and threats the Pulse Carbine armed squadmates could not handle.

Being promoted to the rank of Shas'Ui, Or'es Kais took over a squad of Pathfinders and would lead them against countless Imperial targets, always showing a penchant for solo operations far more than leading a squad, even if he could do the latter as part of his duties. Usually holding them in reserve and utilizing them as a supporting force to mark targets he could not reach easily. He came to the attention of Shas'O Fal'shia Kais Aloh Var, who was an upcoming commander who needed specialist veterans and during his deployment under the Commander, he was handpicked for service within his personal retinue, to be deployed as needed to provide the personal eyes and ears of the Commander in his first deployment as a true Commander of a mission to induct further planets within the Tau Empire. Promoted to Shas'Vre under the Commander, Or'es Kais remained a faithful and loyal member of his Bodyguard, acting as ordered and required to see the missions complete.

Name: shas'ui Kais Mont'yr Fal’Shia
Caste Rank: shas'ui
Sex: Male
Race: Tau
Age: 23
History shas'ui Kais the oldest of three children, the son of a Shas'el and a shas’vre . Kais spent his youth like all the other Tau of the fire caste. Training, going to the academy, and participating in mock battle scenarios. During his time in training Shas’saal Kais showed excellent skill following orders, and being creative on the battle field. Numerous times he was placed in command on his training team by his Fire warrior instructors. In the training scenarios it was expected that he would go on to great things. But combat rarely turns out like it did in the scenarios.
Prior to their first deployment into actual battle the squad participated in Ta'lissera. At the age of 17 Kais and his team got their first deployment. Kais’s first deployment was against the Imperial guard. Their hunter Cadre was assigned to push out the Imperial guar regiments that refused to join the rest in joining the greater good on a recent addition to the Fal’Shia septs sphere of influence. More than 50 fire warrior along with legions of Auxiliaries arrived to fight the Imperial guard. For four years he and the rest of the Cadre fought the Imperial guard. Among the enemy were the Loyal PDF regiments, A passing Kreig regiment and a Cadian regiment. While the Cadre took numerous casualties the eventually succeeded.
During the Fighting Kais and his team were in command of some Gue'vesa to clear of some of the PDF units that had dug in at one of their final Stronghold cities. The Enemy held the city and had dug trenches on the outskirts to try and hold the enemy out of the city. Kais and his team were supposed to drop straight into the city supported by Gue'vesa, while a ground element attacked the trenches but due to hidden anti-air auto cannon turrets most of the Airborne units were shot down or unable to make it past the trenches before having to land and deploy in the trenches. Kais and his team fought as the Imperial Guardsmen charged them in the trenches trying to get them into close combat. They must have killed 40+ before they retreated, The relief Kais felt would be short lived however as Mortar shells and Basilisk shells rained down on the now abandoned trench lines. Kais’s fire team suffered greatly from the shells as one found its way into the heart of the team. Of the 12 fire warriors, six were killed instantly as they were caught in the explosion of the shells. Two were badly wounded by shrapnel catching in the thin lining in between the armor plates. The rest had minor wounds caused by shrapnel and the fight with the Imperial guard. After taking shelter in a dugout in the trench the shelling stopped. Soon after the Gue'vesa arrived and relieved them. After shuttling the wounded back Kais was granted the title of shas'ui as this was considered his trial by fire. He was given the command of a new squad

History:

Keptak was born to the Ritiki Tribe, their hives deep in the more jungle like forests of Pech. The tribe, while fearsome and strong, is still a fairly new one. Named after the Ritiki Drak- a poisonous lizardlike kroot decendent, Shaper Gartox lead them to feast on the lower beast in order to obsorbe its tenatious regeneration and oily poisouns secreations. This has only been partially successful, allowing them an increase in the toxidity of their natural secreations, moderately accelerated healing rate, and with the unexpected added result of giving their tribe their uniquely viborant coloration.

Keptak has nearly reached adulthood and has proven herself to be an acceptionally talented hunter and tracker- able to blend in seamlessly with her surroundings despite her striking appearance. She is a ruthless and ferocious warrior with a voracious appitite that has served her well. Rumor has it that she is a decendent of shapers due to her selective taste in prey- but this has yet to be confirmed. While not quite considerd an adult, she is Currently far from Pech, serving the Tau faction in the furtherance of their cause. She revels in the opportunity to prove herself as a dangerous predator and warrior, and looks forward to the opportunity to sample new and exciting cultures prey.

Equipment: Kroot Rifle Staff and many many knives of varying size and all of them leathaly sharp.

NPCs: Kroothound Ratanak

Name: Aun'la Fal'Shia T'sam Vral

Caste: Ethereal

Rank: Prince

Sex: Female

Race: Tau

Age: 16

History: Born on the Fal'Shia sept, T'sam Vral was fortunate enough to be a scion of the Ethereal caste, leaders of the Tau race as a whole and generally respected and guarded by each of the member Castes of the Tau Empire. Raised amongst the other children of the Ethereal cast, T'sam was taught the various methods and intricate methods of leading and uniting the various and disparate Castes of the Tau Empire. From leading Fire Caste Cadres into battle as a powerful influence, to the diplomacy and value of construction from Water and Earth castes, and even the means of communicating and various flight operations that the Air caste would engage in. All part of the training and upbringing necessary to lead any Tau, or allied alien race, in the name of the Greater good.

Once she came of age, T'sam Vral was assigned the first rank of Ethereal, Aun'la, and was sent on various missions and tasks that would free up more vital, and experienced, Ethereals from their various postings throughout the Empire. While much of the work was indeed menial, the young Ethereal served with distinction and nobility, and soon came to the attention of a far more seasoned Aun'el. Under their additional tutelage, she gained ground rapidly and when the time came to absorb more planets, both her and her mentor were assigned. T'sam Vral would operate in the field, freeing and protecting the more experienced Ethereal to remain on the ship and control, and guide, operations between all Tau Empire forces present in the campaign, alongside the Shas'O himself.
