Thought: A Hamilton-esque comedy-musical about the Russian Revolution, from Trotsky's point of view. Lenin would take a Washington-type role, the Tsar would be King George, and Stalin is Jefferson

@Ophidian How do you think I feel? I'm 40-odd years behind you, and that STILL holds true for me.

Bio

Just here for a bit of roleplay occasionally. I have an odd schedule, so please don't get too upset if I disappear. I'll do my best to let you know beforehand, though.

You know what? I'm in need of some more light-hearted campaigns. Count me in!
@AtomicNutI'll have a sheet to you sometime tonight or tomorrow.
When Zaphiel's Crusade fleet had been notified of its requirement in choosing a battle-brother to be tithed to the Deathwatch, Zaphiel had some secret hope that it might be him chosen. As a Chaplain, and a member of a more spiritual Chapter, Zaphiel felt that he owed it to the Imperium and the Emperor to serve with the Holy Inquisition. Zaphiel, however, had no doubts about the likelihood of tensions between the members of whatever unit he served with. Any Astartes could recall stories of Deathwatch units where the battle-brothers were at each other's throats as much as they were the Xenos. And with Zaphiel's more...unique spiritual beliefs, he knew that if he were chosen, he would be no exception to the tensions found when Astartes of multiple chapters mingle.

Upon the day of the choosing ceremony, Zaphiel stood in the main hall of the flagship of the crusade fleet, along with most every other Marine. The Marshal stood upon an elevated platform, overlooking the crowd of Astartes below him. A grand speech resounded, praising the recent accomplishments of the crusade, the God-Emperor, and welcoming the representatives of the Ordo Xenos. When the time came for the name of the tithe to be announced, Zaphiel was almost caught by surprise when it was him. Striding to the platform, Zaphiel gave a salute to the Marshal, and a brief word thanking the God-Emperor, the Marshal, and the Ordo Xenos for the honor and privilege to serve in the Deathwatch. From there, Zaphiel boarded the Black Ship, was stripped of his possessions, and entered stasis.

While in Stasis, Zaphiel dreamt of his duty as Chaplain. From scenes of leading his battle-brothers in monastic prayer aboard the vessels of the crusade fleet, to raining righteous holy fury down upon the enemies of the God-Emperor. These dreams were interpreted by Zaphiel as a reminder from the Emperor of his true duties, and knew that he would not falter in performing these tasks within the Deathwatch.

When he awoke from stasis, and followed the others into the hanger of Fort Acestes, Zaphiel felt a strange sense of ease. Although he was without arms or armor, with only his Black Carapace providing any sort of protection or modesty, he felt as if the protection of the Emperor Himself were shining upon them.

When the time came for Zaphiel to introduce himself, he simply gave the salute of his fist across his chest and stated "Zaphiel Berauth, Black Templars Chaplain."
Sven appreciated the group discussion and speculation about what the Mirror of Souls was capable of, and even chuckled slightly at Jack's joke. Once the others had finished speaking, he looked to them and clarified the situation. "Zhe tomb houses several traps vithin, that are powered by zhe souls of zhe varriors of zhe Emperor's army. Zhe Mirror is able to disarm zhe traps, allowing us to progress furzher into zhe tomb. As for zhe likelihood of zhese hired treasure hunters acting in Ceylon being aligned with zhe Axis powers, ve do not have enough intelligence to fully make a decision, vhich is vhy ve are providing you with an armed escort, opposed to a full regiment of Commonwealth forces." Sven took a brief pause to light and take a puff of his pipe, before resuming. "As for zhe other two pieces of zhe Mirror, ve have yet to locate zhem, but you all can expect to hear more upon your return from zhis mission. Now, I believe zhat covers everyzhing. If you have any more concerns, feel free to meet vith me in my office, but for now you all need to get ready for your trip. Dismissed." With that, he unclipped and rolled up the map, gathered the documents he had not given to the group, and headed for his office to prepare for driving the agents to the airport.


I look forward to seeing what the rest of you come up with!
@Tsar Gatto@Leotamer@Avanhelsing@shylarah I'm going to be moving on without those who haven't posted today. This isn't dead yet.
@HylozoistI wanted to try something different for this CS, to capture the humorous tone, so I wrote it as one-sided interview dialogue. I won't be writing in 1st-person for the IC though, don't worry.

@HylozoistYou know what? I'm down for this. Expect a sheet in the future.
I'm fine with Wilkdon being at the council meeting. He's much more of a noncombatant than most, and his expertise are better used at home base than in the field.
I'm curious to see where this goes. Count me in, for now.
