Or steal Deimos's girlfriend and run off with Nightingale to breed a family of little demon babies.

That's for when Heretic learns the Succubus; Tier I trait.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heretic's skinned crawled upon the freezing metal of the bank roof. He laid there still and silent, responding to nothing but his own thoughts and stimuli. Heretic's body was functional thanks to Nightingale, but it was still shaking with pain and trauma. The painful forehead crack, which had been introduced to Heretic's demon form via Deimos, was now a sharp scar that ran down the sane Yuki's skull and towards the tip of his nose. This whole scenario was just an aftermath of Heretic's poor will-power, and he felt... Ok about it...
This is what frightened Heretic the most. He didn't care that he could've killed all his teammates, he didn't care that his demon had abused him this much and then just left him for dead. He didn't care, like a drug addict did after taking a huge dose of Heroine. Kharn was Heretic's Heroine, and he always had been. The pain, the suffering, it didn't matter as long as Heretic had that demon. Kharn was all Yuki had left for familiarity, although quite a demented version of it, he had to keep him.
Kharn was a double-edged blade. If Heretic kept him, he would go insane. If Heretic left him, he would go insane. So he just kept him, that shallow little parasite inside his soul, so it could rot it black from the inside out.

And Kharn knew this...

<Snipped quote by GodOfWar>
Mostly good, my only concern is that Death Leaper is too powerful, as it basically gives a free attack to a second target every round for only a small decrease in overall power and you'd be able to trigger Unhallowed Presence, Hell's Lost Flame and Blood Drenched Hero twice as well.

My suggestions would be:

• Make it so only the original attack triggers the other traits, with the second attack only damaging the target, or
• Decrease the power of the second attack to 1/2 the Attack of the original attack instead of -2, or
• Have Heretic be able to choose how to split his total Attack between multiple targets, or
• Change it to an Energy 4 Ability rather than a Trait

@Genni

Got it, edited it in accordance to the 2nd option;

• DeathLeaper:
  ^{Dancing about his victims, Heretic has trained himself to switch between numerous enemies, maximizing the amount of damage done by the hell-spawn on the battlefield. If Heretic successfully harms a target opponent, the next closest opponent is automatically hit by Heretic at 1/2 the Attack of the original offense. This effect does not deplete the amount of actions Heretic can take each turn.}

Anything else needed? (Also, thank you for the options provided on how to customize my Trait. Really appreciated that Genni )

WHO WANTS TO BE MAH BFF

You kill Broby, and through this act you will become more powerful in your friendships than he ever could have been.

It is the circle of life. The mosquito drinks the blood, the bat eats the mosquito, the bat shits on an island, the United States acquires the island in order to mine the bat shit for some reason, and the mosquitoes prey on the sailors. At the end of this circle, or perhaps at its radius because it is a circle and has no end, lays the truth that killing Broby is the secret to friendship.

@Vilageidiotx

>Or just kill everyone who gives you friendship advice

Now, you can't kill me for that, because I'm just a voice in your head. I get a free pass.

>You should also give GodOfWar cookies whenever you have them.

Backstory
The small scrapes of birth history drawn back to the great Crimson Lion are scarce, and many of them are only found within the deep archives of the Order. Birthdates and extremely young sightings of Ōbörœ Ûgrøth have been lost within the multitude of scrolls written upon Arkus, and only the bloody messenger himself knows of his origins. Yet, he tells no one but the howling wind and the Old Gods themselves.

At a young age Ōbörœ had developed an ear for the divine voices of the Gods, their shouts of anger, their coos of mercy, the Crimson Lion was fascinated by them. They all road upon the sweet cold winds into the many caves he called home within the mountain passes of Arkus, and sometimes they spoke to him personally. Many a time has the innocent Saavrak heard the voice of Sadhu, calling him to murder the advancing armies in the maze like passes in the steep mountains Ōbörœ inhabited, ensuring no reinforcements would threaten the God's far-off troops. Little did the misguided beast know, that he had started to fall into the meddling hands of the Old Gods, with no parents to guide him away from this unsteady path. They had died shortly after Ōbörœ's birth, their frost bitten bodies giving off their last remaining warmth to keep the crying infant alive in the severe, unprotected blizzard he had been suddenly conceived into.

More voices entered the Red-skinned beast's head as he aged into an adult. Astral strings, Tor'qux, you name it. With the Increase in the beast's infamy and ability in the rough environment of the mountain passes, came the errands of more Gods, needing their work to be done fast and efficient. This was Ōbörœ's specialty.
Still, the Saavrak could not attend to every God's whim all the time, which earned him the title of "The Red-skinned Traitor". Whenever he denied a God's request, though it pained him to do so, those entity's followers payed aggressive heed to the overwhelmed herald. But, with Ōbörœ's skill set, the Old Gods never kept such disdain grudges against him, knowing the beast would be of use to them in the future.

Glazed eyes and murmuring voices are what the great Crimson Lion has now been reduced to mentally, His mind distorted due to the over-numerous dream-like visions that have separated his reality from the voices of the Old Gods. Ōbörœ has currently taken a rare trip out of his mountain lair to traverse to the sandy landscape of Karanos to aid the God Sadhu and his blademasters within the sudden conflict of the Council and Order. Yet, the other divine beings have their own strings attached to this scaley puppet. Will he truly be trustworthy?

+++CHARACTER COMPENDIUM+++

Name: Horus McAllen
Age: 48

Appearance

Weapons:

• Ghost TR 01(Semi-Automatic Pistol) [17 (1/2)/20 Ammo Clips]
• Combat Knife
• Calvary Lance

Gear:

• Crowbar
• Minor Rations
• Wire Cutters
• Matches
• A Jug Of Gasoline
• Motel Keys
• Scribbled Phone Numbers
• Trail Mix
• Copper Wiring
• Water Bottles
• Electrical cable
• Piping

Personality: A strange indivual, Horus's brain functions only during combat or other strenuous activities that require horrid actions. His tone is usually harsh and cracked, as if his throat and vocals had stopped working all together, and leads slowly into his rogue persona. Horus almost never applies to set rules, and does so secretly and without discretion. Many a time has he been caught leading a small band of influenced soldiers into tactical positions and charges, un-authorized by any of the higher-ups.
Yet, in tune with his complying flaws, comes an abstract genius un-matched and un-tamed. Horus has turned hundreds of thousands of situation around with his out-of-the-box thinking, and he will use this unique skill in the hellish trials ahead.

Background Story: Having gone into the army in his early 40s, Horus was a 'unique' soldier, to say the least. From the moment he lifted his first rifle off it's rack, Horus has been addicted to the stimuli of battle. His mind was not on the people waiting for him to come back, but instead the tactics and fury waiting ahead. Sergeants and other officials took notice of Horus's strange psychology, seeing him as ruthless and a little demented, but useful. Of course, his rouge actions kept him back from promotion (he currently stands at private ranking). But soon, after about 6 years in the service, He was positioned in Union station as one of the United State's stands against the unnatural zombie menace. Yet, after the mission's collateral failure, Horus's un-appealing tactics came to bloom as the soldiers split apart to scavenge for survival, other then taking constant orders from authorities and such. For Horus, this Fall Out scenario was God's gift of anarchy and freedom to the world.

~Holand Tzofiatien

General:
Name: Holand Tzofiatien
Gender: Male
Age: 48

Appearance

Origin
Homeworld: Feral Homeworld
Homeworld Superstition: A Good Death: Honour comes from a glorious death, Cowardice only brings shame upon the militia. The Emperor is watching, do not let him down.
Homeworld Memento: Blackened Oak Leave Necklace: Frost Dried, wilted and dead dark oak leaves. Blackened in the fires of honor, then delicately woven into a sturdy collar. Constantly reminds the soldier of his battle-worn life, the life he has forever devoted to his Emperor, the life he will someday give up for said Emperor.

Class Memento: Duelist Honors (First Commendation Medal): The Duelist Honors are only given to the most talented and skilled swordsmen of the Astra Militarum.

Class: Vostrayan Firstborn Infantry (Imperial Guard)

Background: Holand's history has been long lost by the scarce Adeptus Administratums tasked with keeping track of the many recruitments and births of the Vostrayan Firstborn.
Yet, Holand can still recall his whole life with staggering clarity. Holand was born on one of the noble and rich Forgeworlds circling Terra. At infancy Holand was subjectly transported to the desolate and frozen landscape of Kilo II, an outer-ringing moon consisting of a dozen small militias of Imperial Guardsmen sentinels. Kilo II contained an extremely minimal amount of Imperial troops, due to it's unneeding position near the far south of the Milky Way. Xenos, Chaos, and Mutants have only been sighted near Kilo II 5 times, each one a minor case easily dealt with. Yet, what Kilo II lacked in enemy threats, it made up with an inhospitable environment and climate. Due to this, the Imperial soldiers of Kilo II had become more physically primitive then what they were ever made to be.
The Military inhabitants of Kilo II were often disconnected from their Imperial Brethren due to their remote location. Yet, the Vostrayan Guardsmen always served their Emperor faithfully on their stranded dwarf planet, enacting ceremonies and other holy traditions to keep their will strong and of welded iron. Rumors have it that the Guardsmen of Kilo II have tempered their faith so much, it is to match those of the favored Astartes.
Holand is immensely proud of his origins, and because of this, has brought himself into the ranks of the Imperuim's acolytes in a hope to bring Kilo II closer to the watching light of mother Terra.
