DepressedSoviet

Ahoy.

@Sodie PopMost GMs here run characters in the RP, if only at the very least to be used as plot advancement, so I'd say go for it.

Ahoy.

@Sodie PopHey, as a newer person myself, I figured I'd take the chance of welcoming someone new, so welcome! I'm actually devising a D&D-esque RP at the moment, so if you'd like, I can throw a link your way for you to at least read over? Either way, I hope you enjoy yourself here.

And posted! Small post is small, but it should give some insight into how Roach behaves.

Cyaиide Suиs

Roach had been spending the last hour or so in the biergarten, sipping away at a drink, and sharing stories to whoever was around to listen. His gasmask hang loose around his neck, and his odd hat drew as much attention as always. He had a small crowd of three or four people sitting with him, they were listening carefully to his stories, but Oscar was sure they were all more interested in just hearing the Aussie Madman speak. "An' I tell ya, I must've 'ad ten pints of the Amber already, then this dag bastard comes up ta me an' says "Ey ya damn Feral! How's about we go an' hit the Turps." Well, I ain't one ta turn down a challenge, so I go with 'im an' the next thing I know, I'm wakin' up out in the bush, no shirt, half a bottle o' grog in one 'and, an' this here knife in the other!" With that, he drew Blackout, his personal survival knife, from its sheath, and waved it a bit. "An' that's how she got 'er name! Called 'er Blackout, cause I got 'er while I was blackout pissed!" From there, Oscar busted out laughing, causing a few in the group to chuckle nervously as well. Oscar took a large swig of his beer, but almost spit it out after what happened.

KRAAAK!

A gun shot audible even inside the biergarten rang out, and Roach instinctively reached for his pistol. When he realized there wasn't much to worry about, he relaxed, and went back to his drink. Looking to the group of people in front of him, he chuckled and said "Well, I'm sure it's nothin' ta worry about. How's about we order us 'nother shout? I'll pay." With that, a couple more people shifted over, more eager to partake in free drinks than the stories, and Oscar stood up and waltzed over to the counter, making the request for another round of drinks.

Chaplain Zaphiel Berauth

Name: Zaphiel Berauth

Chapter: Black Templars

Chapter Demeanour: The Black Templars are very spiritual chapter, and as Chaplain, Autrus is no exception. Leading his Battle-Brothers in prayers, and providing the Emperor's Blessing in battle. The Black Templars also see close combat as the true art of battle, and thus all but ignore ranged weaponry. Those who ignore or attack the Emperor and Imperium's faith, such as Xenos and Heretics, are the foremost enemies of the Black Templars.

Personal Demeanour: Zaphiel treats his job as Chaplain as his life. As one of the minority of Astartes who worships the Emperor of Mankind as a God of humanity and follows the teachings of the Imperial Creed, Zaphiel is a very spiritual and prayer-and-blessing-focused Chaplain, often using any opportunity to lead his battle-brothers in prayer and to bless weapons and armor before battle. This spiritual fervor leads Zaphiel to have a very hostile sentiment towards Xenos and Heretics, going into almost a religious frenzy when facing them, not stoping until they lie dead, and in the case of heretics, often forcing them to repent their sins before being killed. Zaphiel's focus in prayers is more on general service to the Imperium and the Emperor, stressing the role of his battle-brothers as Astartes over that as Black Templars. This unique focus has often drawn confusion from his fellow Chaplains, but the effective results it garners are certainly able to be seen.

Speciality: Chaplain

Rank: Chaplain(They're outside the standard rankings)

Power Armour History: Zaphiel's armor has a deep history, stretching back over 2000 years. First worn by a hero whose name has since been lost to time. From there, it has been passed down through the Black Templars' Chaplain chain, but has earned a much darker legacy than that of its first wearer. Each and every chaplain who has donned the armor has been forced into one of the darkest fates that can befall a Chaplain: They have been forced to execute another Astartes. This has led to a tradition of the armor being given a purity seal for each battle-brother the wearer has been forced to put to death. By the time it came in possession of Zaphiel, the suit bore 20 seals from this tradition alone. Zaphiel has yet to find himself in the same situation as the previous owners, but upon entry to the Deathwatch, he fears that day draws near.

Description: Zaphiel's face shows the signs of an experiences Astartes, with both age and scars of battle adorning it. He keeps his head completely free of hair, a monastic tradition stretching back millennia. His body is similarly kept hairless. His eyes are somewhat unnatural, a minor mutation native to his homeworld, in that the iris is almost stark white, leaving only the black rim and the pupil a different color. His large, modified body is marred in scars from sparring and battles, and bears the massive shape and frame of a Space Marine. When not on duty, he wears simplistic white robes adorned with the symbol of the Imperial Eagle, and when in combat he wears the Chaplain armor issued to him.

Skills: As a follower of the Imperial Creed, and a Chaplain, Zaphiel has vast knowledge on the history of the Imperium, and how to perform spiritual ceremonies. He is also knowledgeable on how to spot heresies, corruption, and association with Xenos, even the more subtle nuances. As a member of the Black Templars, he is a skilled close quarters combatant, though his marksmanship could use some work.

History: Zaphiel remember very little about his life before being inducted into the Black Templars. He knows that his homeworld was a Shrine World dedicated to the worship of the Emperor, and that the Templars frequently used it as a recruiting world due to this holy connection. Zaphiel was one of those blessed enough to be recruited as one of the Emperor's Chosen, and in no time at all was under the course of rigorous training. As part of the Black Templar's recruitment process, Zaphiel saw combat sooner than most Astartes-in-training, and was soon adjusted to the horrors of war in the 41st millennium.

As a neophyte in the chapter, Zaphiel showed deep interest in the rituals and faith of the Black Templars, and not long after becoming a full-fledged Marine, was he placed alongside Chaplain Argus Cassiel, to learn the ways of the Chaplain from an experienced leader. Zaphiel showed great promise in the service of Argus, and was well on his way to being inducted. Zaphiel was truly honored the time came for him to enter the Solitarium and begin his meditation. He spent slightly over one week in the cell, during which he perceived what he described as a vision of the Emperor, a holy figure clad in gilded armor, providing a blessing to Zaphiel, stating that he was destined to receive the favor of the Emperor. This blessing affirmed Zaphiel's belief that he was right to become a Chaplain, and he stood proud as he received his Crozius Arcanum, Rosarius, and the name of his fallen forbearer.

From that day, Zaphiel has served proudly and true as one of the Emperor's Faithful. Leading his company in both Righteous Prayer and Holy Crusade, Zaphiel has felt himself to be truly guided by the Emperor throughout his life. In many a battle has Zaphiel led his men courageously through the hells of war, to emerge like Angels on the other side. So when Zaphiel was asked by the Master of Sanctity to be of the Templars' offerings to the Deathwatch, Zaphiel was eager to accept.

Upon arrival to the Deathwatch fortress, Zaphiel feels as if the eyes of the Emperor himself are watching him. Zaphiel is ready to face whatever trials and tribulations await, for he knows that his faith in the Emperor and his personal skill shall see him through it.

Equipment and Armament: Zaphiel's weapon of choice in battle is his Crozius Arcanum, the symbol of office for all Chaplains of the Adeptus Astartes. A staff topped with the Imperial Eagle, it holds a power field similar to a power sword or other weapon, and is thus a potent close combat tool. He also keeps a Bolt Pistol for when ranged combat is required. Around his neck, he wears the Rosarius given to him by the Ecclesiarchy upon his ascension to the role of Chaplain.

@SwitchHe did a decent job on the last WFB Dark Elf codex too, I thought. IIRC he mains Ultramarines, so that might explain the way he wrote them.

You attempt to access RoleplayerGuild, but find yourself in an alternate reality of the forum where the above avatar has replaced Mahz. What changes?

The forum becomes a warzone between spambots and grammatically-correct giant robots. Nearly everyone is killed.

@AndreyichI, for one, would be really excited to see someone do an Ultramarine. Ever since the schism in the fanbase over Ward's writing, hardly any fans have wanted to write anything serious involving them for fear of backlash, and as a general 40k fan this has made me sad, because there's a lot of things that can be done with them. So in my opinion, it'd be nice to see the Ultramarines used again.

@HankI considered doing the Space Sharks, but I had a hard time justifying one joining the Deathwatch, what with them spending all their time out in deep space. Needless to say I'm very interested in what you come up with.
