So, you can play a character from any established world? LotR, Dragon Age, Star Wars and Marvel Comics characters could all potentially interact in this rp???

Okay, here's my submission to the mission. I thought to myself 'let's take an unrepentant villain who's so evil that it works against his best interests, and have him learn from the Evil Overlord List.' This was the result.
--------------------------
--------------------------
Name: Rugal Bernstein.
Universe: The King Of Fighters.
Canon or OC: Cannon, with some AU elements personality-wise.
Appearance:
Age: ???
Personality: Unlike quite a few of the villains of his universe, Rugal is, quite simply, a very cruel man. He holds little, if any, value in human life, enabling him to casually murder anyone who provides even a vague sense of annoyance towards him. He has no noble goals, only wishing to attain as much power as possible. He's also very big on personal combat, to the point that, on two occasions, he held a worldwide fighting tournament just so that he could prove he was more powerful than the winner.
However, things have changed a bit since his in-prison epiphany. He's realised, for a start, that needlessly executing one's own servants for minor goofs and being very up-front and shameless about the whole 'villainy' thing tends to go down badly with higher peacekeeping authorities. He's also realised that being such a sore loser that you're willing to blow up your own (ludicrously expensive) aircraft carrier and draw upon so much forbidden power that you nearly die, all because you got beaten by a Teenager (who you invited to beat you up in the first place), is also not a very good idea. Thus, he has resolved to act a bit nicer; the key word being 'act'. That being said, he hasn't lost his sarcastic streak, and will always poke fun at his opponents' various flaws with glee. As far as bad guys go, Rugal considers himself a barrel of laughs. :V
Abilities: After his second loss to the Kusanagis and subsequent 'death', Rugal has lost all of his stolen Orochi powers, meaning that he is no longer the embodiment of a ludicrously overpowered Fighting Game Boss. However, even without the Orochi power, he is still a master hand-to-hand combatant, being capable of handily defeating squads of soldiers with his bare hands. He also possesses a superior tactical sense, enabling him to closely analyse his opponent's fighting style and counter their attacks, which makes up for ordinary human weaknesses you'd have when outnumbered against armed opponents.
Befitting a character from a fighting game, he has access to a selection of special attacks, including:
Reppu Ken: A ground-bound projectile which takes the form of a purple blast of Ki energy which skittles along the floor; this was a technique he 'appropriated' from Southtown crimelord Geese Howard.
Dark Barrier: A green energy-based shield of sorts, this enables him to reflect certain projectiles back at their sender, or outright destroy them if they're made of solid materials, like bullets.
God Press: A more 'mundane' attack, as far as Rugal goes, which has him dash at the opponent at great speed and grab them by the face before slamming them into a wall on the opposite of the stage room with a small explosion.
Genocide Cutter: Rugal's signature move, this has him jump and perform a very wide circular Axe Kick which creates a sharp 'blade' of air in its wake, cutting all who come in contact, hence the name. He is capable of performing two in a row.
However, due to the loss of his Orochi power, using these attacks too much will leave him famished, and he's lost some of his more power-intensive moves, such as the Kaiser Wave and Rugal Execution.
Incidentally, on the non-combat front, he has a good business sense: good enough that he can spot which wars will last the longest and thus, which ones are the best to throw arms contracts at.
Equipment: Despite being a former arms dealer, Rugal is not one for weapons; he much prefers doing things up and close and personal. Of course, if push comes to shove, he does at least have basic weapons training. What kind of arms dealer wouldn't? Most significantly, though, his right eye is actually a bionic implant, which aids with his tactical analysis.
Faction: Factionless; not that he hasn't tried dealing with the Sentient Milieu before.
Background: Very little is known of Rugal's early life; the earliest event that can be recalled is an incident when he was 25, when he was attacked by an 18-year-old Goenitz, one of the servants of the sealed ancient monstrosity known as Orochi. Goenitz handily defeated him with a single strike that took out his eye, but was surprised he survived the attack in the first place; thus, he granted him a portion of his unholy Orochi power.
At some point, he and his younger brother got involved with the Arms Trade, though his brother eventually deserted him over a disagreement on proper procedure. Disregarding this, he ultimately became very successful in his trade, amassing enough money to afford his own personal Aircraft Carrier, the BlackNoah. He also made a habit of inviting over powerful martial artists (and this being the SNKverse, these people were in no short supply) so that he could beat them up, kill them, and them turn them into trophies by covering them in liquified metal. He also, at some point, fathered two children: Adelheid and Rose. He was quite a distant father-figure, though, sending them off to live elsewhere. He also murdered the family and mercenary squadron of Colonel Heidern, the leader of the Ikari Warriors, purely because he was a little uncomfortable with Heidern looking into his business.
His cockiness seemed to eventually get the better of him, when he took over the aforementioned Geese Howard's King Of Fighters tournament and hosted it so he could prove how powerful he was; which, of course, managed to backfire horribly. After defeating one Saisyu Kusanagi, Rugal was confronted by his son Kyo, who, against all possible odds, managed to beat him down. Instead of accepting defeat, he blew up his ship and fled. He returned the next year, hosting the tournament again under the alias 'R' in the hopes of getting revenge. Of course he was defeated again, only this time he drew upon his hidden Orochi power to transform into Omega Rugal. But then he was defeated again, and when he attempted drawing upon even more Orochi Power, it got out of control and seemingly killed him.
However, due to his own strength, he managed to survive the extremely painful process of having the Orochi Power extract itself from his body, and he went into hiding to recuperate. He first learned about the multiverse when he heard about his various enemies gathering to fight a tournament with people from another universe, such as Ryu, Chun-Li and M. Bison. He entered the tournament to practice his fighting skills, but vanished again soon afterwards, leaving everyone scratching their heads. Eventually he found his own path to the wider multiverse and chose to try and get back into arms dealing; to this end, he approached the Sentient Milieu, but before he could talk to them, people claiming to be members of the Immaculate Order ambushed him and had him thrown into a multiversal prison to stop him upsetting the balance of his home universe even more.
It was while imprisoned that he found a book in the rehabilitation library (stocked by former enemy Kim Kaphwan, no less); the so-called 'Evil Overlord List, or: What Not To Do If You Ever Crave World Domination Pie'. Thus, while serving his sentence, he spent most of his time reading this book, and had a variety of epiphanies which basically told him that he was approaching this whole 'power-hungry villain' thing the complete wrong way. His captors often got suspicious, but he always 'justified' it by saying that the book emphasised how much more successful you can be if you're not a huge jerkass.
Very recently, though, he and a few of the other prisoners were carried onto a strange shuttle in their sleep and taken to another prison, albeit a completely deserted one, where he was forced into participating as a 'Boss' in some kind of multiversal horror reality show thing; apparently he was at the top of their list due to all the complaints made about how 'cheap' and 'overpowered' he is. Taking offence to being called 'cheap' (I mean, tuxedos like that don't come 'cheap'), he's decided that he may as well establish a good and popular presence on multiversal TV if he wants to attain notoriety in the multiversal arms-dealing community.

I'm a little concerned that the only characters we've got thus far have been either working with The Institute or on their own, but I suppose it's to be expected.

Nice!
Anyway, I think most people are signing up to one particular faction because it makes it easier to interact, including with the factionless.

Name: Ranald Colbert
Universe: Armoured Trooper VOTOMS
Canon or OC: OC
Appearance: Face. Physically, Ranald is a lean and athletic man, with a build that is well-suited to his line of work.
Age: 33
Personality: Mr. Colbert is a soldier, and thus does his best to remain calm and level-headed on the battlefield. Panicking would only get him killed very quickly, especially when piloting an AT. However, in situations where his life isn't at stake, Ranald is far from unsociable. In fact, he can be rather chatty.
In addition, after suffering a head injury, his memory is a bit spotty, particularly in regards to his military service. He recalls enlisting in the army and later joining the Red Shoulders, but none of the specifics of his tour of duty. He knows a man by the name of Colonel Pailsen was his commanding officer, but not what sort of man he was.
Abilities: Ranald is fairly proficient in regards to piloting an Armoured Trooper (a.k.a. Vertical One-man Tank for Offense & ManeuverS, or VOTOMS), as is expected of a former member of the Red Shoulders. However, he is far from the best, and wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance against a Perfect Soldier, for example.
In addition, as a result of his incredibly lethal line of work, he's picked up a basic understanding of first aid. While he's no surgeon, Ranald can treat minor injuries, and if they're beyond his ability, at least stabilize them for a time.
Equipment:
Faction: Presently Factionless, most likely to join up with Shocker+ or the Sentient Milieu.

In addition, as a result of his incredibly lethal line of work, he's picked up a basic understanding of first aid. While he's no surgeon, Ranald can treat minor injuries, and if they're beyond his ability, at least stabilize them for a time.
Equipment:
- Pilot suit (Example image): Standard issue for an AT pilot, it's sturdy, reliable, and quite fetching. The suit includes a combination gas-mask and emergency air supply, along with a built-in set of goggles. The latter directly links with the eye cameras of an AT.
- Bahauza M571 Armour Magnum: An emergency sidearm, the Bahauza is a single-shot pistol which fires high-calibre rounds capable of punching through all but the thickest of armour plating. Naturally, this makes it quite effective against vehicles, Armoured Troopers in particular.
- X-ATH-P-RSC Blood Sucker: The Blood Sucker is an experimental Armoured Trooper, designed and built exclusively for the use of the Red Shoulder remnants under Colonel Yoran Pailsen. In essence, it is superior to the standard Scopedog, possessing greater speed and manoeuvrability, along with somewhat improved armour. However, despite its larger fuel tank, the Blood Sucker's engine guzzles Polymer Ringer's Solution rather inefficiently, resulting in a maximum operational time that is much lower than its 'inferior' cousin (80 hours to the Scopedog's 218).
Its armaments consist of the GAT-45-RSC 'Bloody Rifle' (Essentially a really big assault rifle), two smoke launchers mounted on the midsection, and like almost all ATs, both arms are outfitted with the cartridge-powered hydraulic arm punch.
A picture of the AT in question, along with some overly specific statistics.
The cockpit.
Note: Armoured Troopers are fragile to an almost comical extent, as their armour can only withstand small-arms fire at best. In addition, the Polymer Ringer's Solution that fuels them (in addition to allowing an AT to fluidly mimic human movement) is incredibly volatile, and will explode rather violently if the AT is struck by a heavy impact or exposed to extreme temperatures.
Now all this would be fine and dandy, if not for the fact that Ranald's Blood Sucker was left barely operational after a recent battle (see background). The left arm was blown off, the camera lens is cracked, and the main fuel tank is empty, while the reserve tank is nearly so. As a result, the AT will be of limited use until it receives maintenance or is simply replaced.
Faction: Presently Factionless, most likely to join up with Shocker+ or the Sentient Milieu.
Background:
Born in the Astragius Galaxy during its Third Galactic War between the Gilgamesh Confederation and the Balarant Union, Ranald was one of many whom enlisted in the Gilgamesh army. As it was the era of the Armoured Trooper, he was trained to pilot one, and displayed a somewhat exceptional prowess for it. Apparently, this was enough for Colonel Yoran Pailsen to draft him into the recently formed 'Enhanced Special Forces' a.k.a the Red Shoulder Batallion, wherein he endured the Colonel's rigorous training program. The Red Shoulders proved to be quite effective, and were also infamous for their savagery, which lead to them being nicknamed 'The Bloodsucker Batallion.'
When the war came to a close, the Red Shoulders were disbanded as per the conditions of the armistice between the two nations. However, like many other former Red Shoulders, Ranald decided to remain under the command of Pailsen, who was now in direct cooperation with the Secret Society. Wholly unaware of Pailsen's goals, Mr. Colbert simply guarded the Colonel's compound (the ruins of an old Red Shoulder base) alongside several others, utilizing the Armoured Troopers they'd been given.
Unfortunately, this proved to be a less than wise decision in the long run for Ranald. Four former Red Shoulders, who were evidently less than fond of Yoran, decided to mount an assault on the compound. Despite losing three of their number, the attackers managed to wipe out the remaining Red Shoulders and kill the Colonel. Normally, this would be the end for Ranald, getting killed in action and promptly forgotten. However, it seemed fate had different plans, and kept him alive (albeit unconscious due to a head injury) with his AT partially intact. When he awoke, Ranald found himself inside an entirely different compound, with quite the splitting headache.

Since there are so many factionless, maybe they could join the other two later on. How do they learn about these things, anyways? Where's the registration form? Are there door-to-door salesmen for them? Do they have yard signs?

The big three factions usually recruit through the properties they own. Each of them distribute plenty of propaganda explaining why their philosophy is logically the best, and why anything else would result in undue suffering and universal destruction and all that jazz.

in 3927 days
Name: Aviza Niskaru
Age: 30
Faction: Factionless
Universe: Warhammer 40k
Canon or OC: OC
Equipment/Abilities: Sororitas Power Armor
1. Custom Astartes Mark Vb Godwyn Pattern Bolter: Unlike the standard issue Bolter that most of the Imperium of Man uses, this weapon has been modified with a longer stock and handguard for combat situations that require improved accuracy and better recoil control. Upon the bottom of the weapon is an automatic combat shotgun with a high rate of fire that uses Ignitius Shotgun Shells for close to medium range combat scenarios. On top of the Bolter is a multi-use adjustable scope for any combat scenario that may present itself.
2. Frag Grenade: A Frag Grenade is a small hand-held explosive device meant to hurl shrapnel in all directions. The Space Marines make use of two types of Frag Grenades, either disc shaped with a button in the center that can be pressed repeatedly in order to determine how long until it explodes, or a small egg shape. Both kinds of space marine grenade designs are described as "micro-grenades" and are apparently smaller.
3. Krak Grenade: Krak Grenades are meant to be used against hardened targets such as armored vehicles or buildings, etc. They are designed to implode and produce a powerful pressure wave that can damage armored or hardened targets, rather than explode, as is usually the case with grenades.
4. Atherian Smoke Grenade: The grenade can be used in one of two ways, depending on how it’s deployed. It is most commonly used as a regular smoke grenade that can create a massive cloud of smoke which can be seen from a very far distance. The other use is that the smoke cloud, if using the correct pull pin, will create a cloud of flammable gas.
5. Cyntherian Chainsword: The Cyntherian Chainsword wears the colors of the Adepta Sororitas, it is longer than most other chainswords, the blades on the saw are more durable, and an electrical current runs through them. Aviza insists it was merely a gift from a long lost friend, but its craftsmanship and detail to its unique design say otherwise.
Personality: Even after being born into a technological dark age that effects the wide spread galaxy of man, Aviza has managed to keep a strong personality. She is a proud, driven, honorable, brave, caring and stubborn solider that keeps herself motivated and focused against the overwhelming sheer numbers of those who threaten her people and the evil of he warp. One side of her that few get to see is her dark since of humor. Anger plays a large part in the Sisters of Battle, for they were raised to cleanse all that were impure in the name of the emperor of mankind. Their hate for the enemy fuels them to be quite short tempered and to show little to no mercy for those who are impure or hostile in their eyes. Along side her and her sisters anger is a strong determination to follow out the orders they were given, the reason they were trained, along side all other personality traits, she can be quite macabre.
Notable Deeds/Backstory:
The Amethyn conflict: As soon as it was possible for her to, Aviza was assigned to partake in the one of the bloodiest conflicts she has ever seen to this date. The forces of Chaos had been reportedly seen near the world of Amethyn, where the Imperium of Man had established large colonies of civilians and workers to reestablish a foothold in that area of the galaxy. Sitting alongside many of her own Adepta Sororitas, as well as Imperial Guardsmen and Space Marines, they entered the planet’s atmosphere only to see the planets destruction first hand. Quickly touching down upon the hard concrete floors on the city’s outskirts, they armed themselves and unloaded all of their equipment only to step out into the scene of death and destruction that spread out in every direction around them. It felt unreal, as if this kind of cruelty, of death, destruction, and torture was only something seen in nightmares that originated from the depths of hell itself. Ash fell from the sky and covered their armor as if snow. It appeared to be from the burning buildings around them, but to their unfortunate discovery, the ash came from another source. In the middle of the town was a massive pile of bodies that were being burned, the ash coming from them and covering everything that got in its way.
Those were the lucky ones, the people who ended up being killed shortly after Chaos arrived upon the planet. Others, known as The Lost and The Damned wondered the streets not far from where they were, ruthlessly attacking as soon as Aviza and the rest of the forces came into sight. She knew this was only the beginning of the battle that was yet to come, and the numbers of these renegades and mutants seemed to only grow with every one that was killed. Slowly, but surely, the Forces of Chaos were eliminated for the time being, and a moment of rest was upon them to investigate what had truely happened with in the city's walls to have the Chaos forces spread so quickly over a very short amount of time. From within the cities capital, they found The Black Legions flags hanging inside, seemingly untouched from the battle outside. Around the room were grotesque sacrifices and unholy objects that made even Solares, Aviza's squad leader and teacher even want to leave the capital.
"Burn all of it, I want nothing standing, then cleanse the area before any of us return." Fire erupted from the capital as it fell into itself, creating an explosion that sent a shockwave across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt. It was bound to draw attention to their attention, and that is exactly what happened. This time the Lost and the Damned were not the only ones to show up, for Chaos Space Marines were there to ensure their death. Many days past during that battle, while Chaos threw everything it had at them on the planet’s surface. Aviza lost track of time, and so did the rest of the forces there fighting, had it been a week? two weeks? a month even? there supplies were running low and Aviza knew they would not last much longer. They were out-manned and out-gunned while the forces of Chaos only grew as before. By what she thought was the end of the first month, Aviza was using her basic chainsword, in a duel between a Chaos Space Marine and herself.
The chainsword she had positioned every so carefully to fight off the Chaos Space Marine gave out after so many battles and the saw stopped spinning with a loud pop and a display of pyrotechnics followed. The Chaos Space Marine swung at her, missing by only a couple of inches before falling to the ground amidst the battle. Her squad leader Solares was not far from behind her, and loaded another round into the rifle while yelling something at her from over the sounds of the battle. Aviza could not make out was being said but finely felt a sharp, sudden, and extricating pain in her right abdomen. It was a stroke of luck that she had not been shot until this point, but once she was shot, she sure as hell felt the pain from it and her body reacted accordingly. The power armor struggled to keep her upright but her knees gave away before falling onto them. She's still not sure what happened after that but a figure of what appeared to be Space Marine wearing grey power armor, pulled her out of combat and into cover. She turned her head to find out where the rest of her squad was and noticed they were still out in middle of the battlefield fighting, falling before the forces of Chaos.
Turning her head to find out who had rescued her, the space marine was gone and was nowhere to be found among those who were fighting. Something changed in her that day, she became who she is now, a veteran solider, someone who truly deserves to wear the name of Adeptus Sororitas. Pushing herself back up onto her feet, she grabbed a shotgun from one of the many dead Imperial Guardsmen around her and pushed forward, limping with a grunt of pain every time she took a step. By the end of the battle, only herself, her teacher Solares, and the Space Marines still stood upon the battlefield. "That, Adeptus Sororitas, is what we Space Marines call Trial by Fire." Aviza's shotgun hung weakly in her left hand, the barrels glowing from being used to the point of almost disintegrating. Her face was pale from losing so much blood, and the pain kept her on the verge of passing out. In the time from when she was wounded and to the end of the battle, she managed to kill thirteen Chaos Space Marines and twenty four random Chaos Forces. "Are my skills needed anymore?" she said in a weak voice, struggling to stay upright.
One of the Space Marines shook his head and laughed, "We won the war for Amethya." Aviza spoke in an even more weak voice, "Congratulation to all of us, wake me up when we are no longer on Amethya." and with those last words she passed out cold upon the floor beneath her. She wasn't sure if it was a dream or if she was just hallucinating, but she was being carried and then placed onto the drop ship by the same Space marine with Grey armor who had pulled her into safety only a couple hours ago. Once she was fully healed and able to speak to the Space Marines that had joined her and the rest of her squad on the battle, she respectfully asked if there had been matching the description of grey armor with them on the planet with them at any time. Their answer was of course "No Sister of Battle, there was no Space Marine with grey armor with us or on the planet at all." Asking for more information on who saved her, the Space Marines merely laughed beore turning and leaving. To this day, Aviza still has no idea who pulled her to safety and who carried her to the drop ship during the Amethyn conflict.
Arrival: On one of her assignments to purge a lone back water world of Chaos influence and daemonic entities, Aviza and her squad of Sisters of Battle came upon a large warn down warehouse. After entering and purging most of the building, a warp portal appeared behind them from an unknown source, dragging everything not nailed down towards it where it vanished into a warp realm. Out of great sacrifice, Aviza enabled her squad to leave the building but in turn was dragged towards the portal and vanished from sight once she reached it with a blindingly bright flash of light and fire. This Sister of Battle has no memory of what happened once she reached the portal but now finds herself laying upon a cold metal floor in the cargo bay of what appears to be a space ship or space station while mostly unconscious.
Appearance:
Theme Song: MUSE-FOLLOW ME
Age: 30
Faction: Factionless
Universe: Warhammer 40k
Canon or OC: OC
Equipment/Abilities: Sororitas Power Armor
1. Custom Astartes Mark Vb Godwyn Pattern Bolter: Unlike the standard issue Bolter that most of the Imperium of Man uses, this weapon has been modified with a longer stock and handguard for combat situations that require improved accuracy and better recoil control. Upon the bottom of the weapon is an automatic combat shotgun with a high rate of fire that uses Ignitius Shotgun Shells for close to medium range combat scenarios. On top of the Bolter is a multi-use adjustable scope for any combat scenario that may present itself.
2. Frag Grenade: A Frag Grenade is a small hand-held explosive device meant to hurl shrapnel in all directions. The Space Marines make use of two types of Frag Grenades, either disc shaped with a button in the center that can be pressed repeatedly in order to determine how long until it explodes, or a small egg shape. Both kinds of space marine grenade designs are described as "micro-grenades" and are apparently smaller.
3. Krak Grenade: Krak Grenades are meant to be used against hardened targets such as armored vehicles or buildings, etc. They are designed to implode and produce a powerful pressure wave that can damage armored or hardened targets, rather than explode, as is usually the case with grenades.
4. Atherian Smoke Grenade: The grenade can be used in one of two ways, depending on how it’s deployed. It is most commonly used as a regular smoke grenade that can create a massive cloud of smoke which can be seen from a very far distance. The other use is that the smoke cloud, if using the correct pull pin, will create a cloud of flammable gas.
5. Cyntherian Chainsword: The Cyntherian Chainsword wears the colors of the Adepta Sororitas, it is longer than most other chainswords, the blades on the saw are more durable, and an electrical current runs through them. Aviza insists it was merely a gift from a long lost friend, but its craftsmanship and detail to its unique design say otherwise.
Personality: Even after being born into a technological dark age that effects the wide spread galaxy of man, Aviza has managed to keep a strong personality. She is a proud, driven, honorable, brave, caring and stubborn solider that keeps herself motivated and focused against the overwhelming sheer numbers of those who threaten her people and the evil of he warp. One side of her that few get to see is her dark since of humor. Anger plays a large part in the Sisters of Battle, for they were raised to cleanse all that were impure in the name of the emperor of mankind. Their hate for the enemy fuels them to be quite short tempered and to show little to no mercy for those who are impure or hostile in their eyes. Along side her and her sisters anger is a strong determination to follow out the orders they were given, the reason they were trained, along side all other personality traits, she can be quite macabre.
Notable Deeds/Backstory:
The Amethyn conflict: As soon as it was possible for her to, Aviza was assigned to partake in the one of the bloodiest conflicts she has ever seen to this date. The forces of Chaos had been reportedly seen near the world of Amethyn, where the Imperium of Man had established large colonies of civilians and workers to reestablish a foothold in that area of the galaxy. Sitting alongside many of her own Adepta Sororitas, as well as Imperial Guardsmen and Space Marines, they entered the planet’s atmosphere only to see the planets destruction first hand. Quickly touching down upon the hard concrete floors on the city’s outskirts, they armed themselves and unloaded all of their equipment only to step out into the scene of death and destruction that spread out in every direction around them. It felt unreal, as if this kind of cruelty, of death, destruction, and torture was only something seen in nightmares that originated from the depths of hell itself. Ash fell from the sky and covered their armor as if snow. It appeared to be from the burning buildings around them, but to their unfortunate discovery, the ash came from another source. In the middle of the town was a massive pile of bodies that were being burned, the ash coming from them and covering everything that got in its way.
Those were the lucky ones, the people who ended up being killed shortly after Chaos arrived upon the planet. Others, known as The Lost and The Damned wondered the streets not far from where they were, ruthlessly attacking as soon as Aviza and the rest of the forces came into sight. She knew this was only the beginning of the battle that was yet to come, and the numbers of these renegades and mutants seemed to only grow with every one that was killed. Slowly, but surely, the Forces of Chaos were eliminated for the time being, and a moment of rest was upon them to investigate what had truely happened with in the city's walls to have the Chaos forces spread so quickly over a very short amount of time. From within the cities capital, they found The Black Legions flags hanging inside, seemingly untouched from the battle outside. Around the room were grotesque sacrifices and unholy objects that made even Solares, Aviza's squad leader and teacher even want to leave the capital.
"Burn all of it, I want nothing standing, then cleanse the area before any of us return." Fire erupted from the capital as it fell into itself, creating an explosion that sent a shockwave across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt. It was bound to draw attention to their attention, and that is exactly what happened. This time the Lost and the Damned were not the only ones to show up, for Chaos Space Marines were there to ensure their death. Many days past during that battle, while Chaos threw everything it had at them on the planet’s surface. Aviza lost track of time, and so did the rest of the forces there fighting, had it been a week? two weeks? a month even? there supplies were running low and Aviza knew they would not last much longer. They were out-manned and out-gunned while the forces of Chaos only grew as before. By what she thought was the end of the first month, Aviza was using her basic chainsword, in a duel between a Chaos Space Marine and herself.
The chainsword she had positioned every so carefully to fight off the Chaos Space Marine gave out after so many battles and the saw stopped spinning with a loud pop and a display of pyrotechnics followed. The Chaos Space Marine swung at her, missing by only a couple of inches before falling to the ground amidst the battle. Her squad leader Solares was not far from behind her, and loaded another round into the rifle while yelling something at her from over the sounds of the battle. Aviza could not make out was being said but finely felt a sharp, sudden, and extricating pain in her right abdomen. It was a stroke of luck that she had not been shot until this point, but once she was shot, she sure as hell felt the pain from it and her body reacted accordingly. The power armor struggled to keep her upright but her knees gave away before falling onto them. She's still not sure what happened after that but a figure of what appeared to be Space Marine wearing grey power armor, pulled her out of combat and into cover. She turned her head to find out where the rest of her squad was and noticed they were still out in middle of the battlefield fighting, falling before the forces of Chaos.
Turning her head to find out who had rescued her, the space marine was gone and was nowhere to be found among those who were fighting.

@Andromedai, Why did you reserve a spot in the Characters section before posting your CS?
I feel your character may not gel well with the others. The Sisters of Battle are known almost exclusively for their unflinching hatred of non-Imperial entities, and you're going to be meeting nothing but non-Imperial entities. Thus, you'll either have to go wildly out of character or spend all your time IC attacking and subjugating the other players.
Perhaps another character from 40k canon would work better?

Made the mistake of not paying attention and posting my CS there instead of the interest thread.

This I know, but for the sake of the RP and the current situation she is currently in, that will change in time as she learns of all around her. (Character progression yay.)

I'm gonna have to call bull on that one.
I'm not a SoB player (they don't have nearly enough codex circulation to attract me), but from what I understand the Sisters of Battle are the most fanatical arm of the Imperium, unflinching in their dedication and entirely unwilling to trust in the opinions of their enemies. They've had Ecclesiarchal dogma drilled into them for decades, they've had all sense of wrongthink flayed and burned out of their skulls, they're literally so devoted that their stalwart belief can cause miracles.
The fact that a Sister of Battle would change her mind about what to think about heretics, xenos, and traitors being heretical and traitorous speaks volumes about how out-of-character she is being. It's simply ludicrous. As said by one of the most infamous 'Thoughts of the Day' in the fluff, "an open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded".
If you want to play as something from Warhammer 40,000, I must say that you pick a character who isn't known exclusively for scourging and purging those who don't seem like they dogmatically follow their viewpoint. Go for an unorthodox Inquisitor, an Imperial Guardsman, a Space Marine, you could even go for a Chaos cultist-- just make it logical for them to change their mind without needing a lobotomy. A Sister of Battle has no place in a setting outside the Imperium other than as a source of unending belligerence.

@Scrapula@Andromedai The lord inquisitor is going to have to back up Scrapula here. The most open minded Sororitas who wasn't Miriael Sabathiel believed that melta weapons were just as good as flamers to purge heretics.
By bolter shell, flamer burst and melta blast, the mutant, the heretic and the traitor alike are cleansed of their sin of existence. So has it been for five millennia, so shall it be unto the end of time.

Name: Chosen Undead
Universe: Dark Souls
Canon or OC: Canon, with minor personal interpretations.
Appearance:
Age:???
Personality: The Chosen Undead is a rather quiet fellow, often communicating through gestures and actions rather than lengthy dialogue or boring moral choices. Though he powers through with an end goal, he's not averse to exploration, seeing all the sights the world has to offer, talking to whatever sane (A relative term) individuals he comes across, and stocking up on items from the local merchants.
Some may vouch for his bravery, others insist it's simply a tenacity combined with a well honed tolerance for pain.
Constant trial and error throughout an incredibly hostile land has led to him becoming rather genre savvy, if a little world-weary.
Unfortunately, he also has to deal with the constant looming threat of Hollowing, the gradual withering of an Undead's sanity as the lose hope and forget who they once were.
Abilities: List your character's natural skills, learned spells, and other powers.
The CU is capable of wielding most manner of medieval weaponry with some manner of proficiency. Though he lacks a superhuman level of combat ability, he has adaptive tactics and a sort of tenacity only the undead possess.
The Chosen Undead has been branded with a Dark Sign, a black mark denoting him to be among the ranks of the undead. It does not provide regeneration, enhanced physical, mental, or spiritual abilities, nor any sort of immediately useful combat abilities. However, it does mean that, some time after death, the afflicted Undead will respawn at a specific location: a Bonfire. These curious fires were previously only found in Lordran and similar areas, but have since sprung up in other worlds, perhaps following the undead curse itself.
Equipment: The Undead wears a suit of plate and mail to provide some meager protection against the things he fights. He carries a hefty set of gear: in his left hand, a blue, crested shield, and his weapons consist of a stout longsword, a hefty claymore, and a winged spear.
Faction: Sentient Milieu
Background: The Undead spent much of his past wandering the chilly, dying world of Lordran. This enchanted land already consisted of interconnected worlds, and powerful sorcery enabled the Undead to temporarily cross these boundaries to aid and/or murder one another. However, the invention of the Stepper Box inherently fluxuated the already weak walls between the layered world of Lordran. This is what led the Undead into his first excessively painful foray into another world. Further exploration soon led him to join the Sentient Milieu. He believes that, with their aid, a cure for the undead plague might find its way to Lordran, or at the very least his atypical form of durability will earn relief efforts for the dying world. After all, an Undead like himself is perfect for suicide missions.

@IncredibleBee, I greatly appreciate that you're willing to join the Sentient Milieu, but I have one question. How will you treat Bonfires? Will they be something you have to specifically make and place, or are they spontaneously generated as is narratively appropriate?

I was going to say the latter. I plan on placing them where when CU respawns, he doesn't have to go on an interstellar flight to get back to the action, but far enough where it can't be abused and he just spawns right were he died. Generally, probably just one where he enters an area, or the occasional safe zone.
