Deathwatch: Operation Osiris

[Karos]

So being rather new to this site, and being only somewhat familiar with role playing (after a long hiatus). I thought I'd try something that I know quite well that being 40K.

To give a brief overview, this RP will be about an elite team of genetically engineered super soldiers known as Space Marines, undertaking elite spec ops missions against various Xenos. The ultimate goal of the Deathwatch Kill Team is to locate and rescue the Inquisitor Codename Osiris.

Of course this is all based on/in the 40K universe so it will be easier for people with a knowledge of that lore to take part. However even if you've no knowledge in the lore you can still take part, I'm going to try and design this in such a way that you can participate no matter your familiarity with the lore.

Tried this idea once, here, it didn't go too well, but I wish you the best of luck!

Operation Osiris, Thousand Sons avatar and signature...I'm sure the RP will be excellent.

[Karos]

@Jbcool Haha, glad to see some other 40k fans around here.

Nice Plo Koon avatar, I did always think he was one of the more interesting Jedi, been a while since I revised my star wars lore though.

[Jb]

@Karos Indeed, Plo Koon was one sure badass! As for 40K fans, there's loads around; if this does take off, then please feel free to PM or mention me, as I'd be happy to take part. :) Dibs on Chaplain!

[Karos]

@Jbcool Haha, I've got some general classes and the like sorted, and you'll be glad to know Chaplain is in there. First come first served so the title's all yours, which Chapter do you hail from might I ask, might be able to get some story started if your chapter hates a certain Xenos.

[Jb]

@Karos Always been a Blood Angels fan myself, so I guess I'd go for them.

[Karos]

@Jbcool Hmm Blood Angels Chaplain... now that's interesting... I can definitely work with that. Well hopefully we can round up a few more participants, you mentioned other 40K fan on here, any you could point in this direction?

[Jb]

@Karos It's either that, or a Mortifactors Chaplain!

As for fans, I've got to get some shut-eye the now (being in the UK an all), but I'll make sure to point some of them in this direction tomorrow for you. :)

[Karos]

@Jbcool Any luck contact any of the other 40K fans?

[mattmanganon]

[Karos]

@mattmanganon I take it that means you're in?

[mattmanganon]

Indeed, sir.

[Karos]

@mattmanganon Excellent, might I inquire as to your familiarity with 40K lore?

[mattmanganon]

Intermediate. I know a lot of the how's, why's and how's your fathers, but I won't even begin to pretend I know everything. I know all the important bits though. I know most of the Humanity stuff (Age of Strife through to 40k), some Necron stuff, most Nid stuff (Then again, it's not difficult. They are a giant swarm of Zerg/Xenomorphs that have acid for blood, bones harder than steel and like to eat everything. There we go, that's half of the entirety Nid lore, right there.) Eldar/Dark Eldar i'm not as familiar as i'd like to be, but I know a lot about Harlequins (Cegorach is the only Deity in 40k i'd actually have any faith following.) and I know enough to get by with everything else.

[Karos]

@mattmanganon Awesome so what type of Marine do you want to be and from which Chapter do you hail? You can choose the Company too if you'd like.

[Jb]

@Karos I'm actually somewhat ill the moment, but I'm still about, so I apologise for not assembling others just yet. I'll get there though.

[Karos]

@Jbcool Sad to hear that, well don't worry about it then. Wait 'til you get better the RP's not gonna go anywhere.

[mattmanganon]

@Karos Well, recently, I have noticed that everyone always wants to play Assault and go nuts with a Power Weapon. So, I was going to opt to play the less popular, yet just as fun choice of Devastator. I have a character that I have always wanted to play, but the RP rarely gets off the ground.

This is based off an old RP I did on the previous RPG site. Due to warp fuckery, several ships of the expeditionary fleets from the Great Crusade (From many different Legions) were eaten by the warp and spat back out about 8000 years later above a planet sending an Imperium distress signal. They arrive to find that the Space Marine chapter that once called this place their homeworld, have recently been visited by the Tyrant Star, however, it appeared in a low orbit that has driven the Space Marine populace insane and began slaughtering everything in their path.

The legions, naturally, descended to answer the distress call and easily defeated them (5000 Space Marines with Golden Age weapons vs regular chapter of about 1000 with technology held together by sticky-tape and hope, you do the math.) When the Ordo Hereticus showed up, they found an immense amount of completely loyal space marines that bore the insignia of traitors. Naturally, the next to show up were the Ordo Chronos that deemed them to have been before Heresy was even a thing. It was deemed that they were too heretical to remain together, but they were too loyal and valuable to simply have executed. They were split into 4 smaller chapters, with a large number of them being taken into the Deathwatch as Blackshields.

My character would be one such Blackshield.

[Karos]

@mattmanganon I like the sound of that, a Devastator with a hidden past... should be interesting. Any heavy weapon you prefer? I'm preparing the equipment list and I don't want to leave out your favourite toy.

[mattmanganon]

I suppose any Volkite weapons would have been "liberated" by the Mechanicum.

So, I suppose i'll go with an Autocannon.
