Warhammer 40K: Task Squad



The subsector "Magna Four" consists of motley collection of hive planets and agriworlds, coupled with the occasional new settler world as the thinly spread Imperial forces valiantly attempt to either spread the Imperium's boundaries or regain lost ground. Yet it is a subsector frought by war, conflict and lethal intriguing from both within and without. Many of the worlds are struggling with internal conflict, either in the form of criminals or upstart independence seekers, or a combination of the two. Another plague is the alien; violent masses of orks frequent the sector, ravaging, pillaging and destroying anything they can get their hands on, while the mysterious Eldar have also been spotted, sabotaging and waging their own secret war in the sector. And last but not least, the insidious presence of chaos threatens to corrupt the noble spirit of the sector, always lingering on the outskirts; and sometimes even found within.

Fearing that the imperial forces in the sector is not enough to keep the peace, Planetary Governor of the Hive World "Soliaire 2", Alphelius Marximus; a reclusive yet legendary old conqueror figure and rumored to be more than 400 years old; has called for the formation of elite task squads to strike like a spear into the hearts of some of these threats, preferably killing them while they are still in their infancy!

The people who make up these Strike Squads come from all walks of life. Guns for hire, elements of the official Imperial Forces, Psykers, adepts of the Mechanicum, ex pirates, pardoned criminals, missionaries, zealots, clergymen, pilots and men of the law. They have all come, whether lured by the promise of monetary rewards, a chance to serve the Emperor or simply to find a purpose in life.

To lead these squads, Planetary Governor Alphelius Marximus has summoned members of his own private household. One of these household members is Sherpa Silverlain, who has promised Alphelius swift results, or die trying...


Description: The idea of this roleplay is to create a squad of 3-6 active players to venture through the subsector to hunt down targets. It can be a little reminiscent of a bounty hunter game, as our Task Squad will be tracking down specific foes and dealing with them however way they like.

The master of the squad, Alhpeous' householdmember and leader; will be Sherpa Silverlain(also my character). The roleplay will start on the Hive World of Soliaire 2, in the visitor wing of Alpheous Marximus own massive palace on the planet where the team will gather and be briefed before heading off on their first assignment.



Requirements
- Ideally being able to post at least 2 times a day on a regular basis. Exceptions may apply if waiting for someone else. Breaks are permitted if announced in advance. Real life happens and we know this.

There are no hard requirements insofar lore is concerned. We welcome members who might even be completely new to the Warhammer universe. The most important asset any member to this roleplay can bring is an positive attitude and cheerful spirit. A roleplay is made by the people who participate in it, and it is my desire as a GM for this to be a great experience for everyone who chooses to enter it :)

The powerlevel of this roleplay will be relatively high, but there will be no Space Marine characters in this roleplay. That said, you may still create any character you wish other than that, even a non-combat character designed around support. Agents of the Officio Assassinorum, Sisters of Battle or members of other elite forces except Space marines are still allowed.

If you have any questions, please post them in the thread below. If enough players join, I will create the thread. A character template will be provided down below, but feel free to discuss your character ideas in the thread itself if you are not sure, just want inputs or share ideas.

Good news: Main thread is now up! @6slyboy6@Blackbeard@Jbcool@Lord Coake@Zetsuko@mattmanganon@Habib

The "group" I was referring to in the first post was basically just you guys. You are being brought together to the visitor wing of Alphelius Marximus' planetary palace.

In case you want to know how you got there, you were essentially just picked up from various spaceports or orbiting vessels around Soliaire 2 by one of the governor's shuttles and then flown directly to the palace.

Don't worry, the introduction phase will be relatively short, so you'll get to shoot badguys soon eough :)

P.S Please no shooting in the palace!

Name: Corporal Caius Langston
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Class: Imperial Guardsman, Recon/Vox Operator
Equipment & Weapon:

Appearance Description(text and/or picture):

Traits(optional): Caius is very tough from years as a wilderness and recon scout for the Espurn 115th Recon Regiment. This has also made him an expert at stealth, CQC, and marksmanship. However, all this time spent in the wilderness without anyone to interact with besides his 2 former squadmates, so Caius is very lacking in regards to social abilites, and general casual conversation.
Biography(character backstory):

Notable Deeds or Accomplishment(optional): He once was able to warn a large force of Guardsmen about an impending ambush. The force was able to flank and rout the cultists in question, ending the battle far earlier than expected. He was also able to kill an enemy cultist leader from around 800 yards away, managing to highly extend the average range of his gun to pull off the shot. This shot earned him the nickname "Laser Pointer" in his squad, to compliment the infamous "flashlight" nickname of the lasgun. Caius has found recently that (highly exaggerated) versions of his achievement have begun to spread throughout the Guard forces, surprisingly enough. One such version had him portrayed as a Catachan sniper shooting from over 2 miles away, and another as a Cadian Whiteshield who got promoted to Sergeant almost immediatly afterwards. He's very quick to correct those who he encounters telling this story.

Indeed, the thread has its own section for Character Sheets right next to the IC and OOC tab.

Though the end of your bio sounds like it's missing a word or two.

@BlackbeardLoving the post, just one question; why would he be suspicious in such an immediate manner toward my character alone? Why is he not suspicious of the Guardsman as well? She's playing a pitch-perfect replica of the real (but deceased) Sister Hospitaller, and I'm just curious as to how this would actually make him believe she were anything else.

I do understand, he's overly paranoid, but don't do any metagaming...or else.

@ZetsukoWouldn't say so, no. Just that the paranoid psyker has just happened to pick the only assassin in the group to put on his radar... :P

My fault, I completely intended to ask you in the IC before hand but it felt strange considering I wasn't yet accepted. Firstly he is Psychic with a particular aptitude for reading people, secondly and I hope this rectifies it. He doesn't know your an assassin at all, he is just wary of you as she seemed very...committed to her introduction if you see what I mean. I don't want him to know anything about your character yet, it would be cooler not to be he has his doubts already which I would expect from a Psyker like him. If you still dislike it I can delete that part it wasn't intended as Metagaming at all since...well we are on the same side so. Please forgive. It didn't even cross my mind as Metagaming.

I reiterate though, he doesn't know your an assassin. He doesn't even know if his doubts are sound he is just skeptical. If it came across as 'He knows your an assassin I know everything' then I might have to change how I wrote it. To be honest I was only the third person to post and so if I had multiple peoples posts to work off I could have fleshed it out more making him wary of almost everyone (Which I will be able to do later in the IC).

I hope this rectifies everything! No conflict here!

@BlackbeardIt's all good, and no worries!

Just note, he may be a Psyker, but I'd imagine that - should you wish to, of course - reading her mind would only confirm her chosen identity; I like to think she'd have a 'mind within a mind' so to speak, her outer mind being completely as Sister of Battle, while the inner mind is her own.

...or she could always just kill you. :P

Well Anomander isn't a Telepath, his paranoia and ability to read people could make it seem as such but he couldn't actually read her mind I don't think. He is a biomancer, so your safe on that front!

On another note, lets gets Matt confirmed so he and Zetsuko can get rolling!
