All in all, pretty good. I had a nice job interview two days ago and hopefully will be employed soon. I'll know by Tuesday, so wish me luck.
Don't go overboard on the amasec. :P

"gifting"
I laughed. Though to be fair, I heavily based my character off of grimdark songwriting.
Dammit, now I'm hungry.

Name: Rayvius 'Moyses' Skalterion
Chapter: Dark Angels
Equipment:
Scout Carapace Armor/Mark VII Aquila Power Armor
Mk IIIa Godwyn Pattern Bolter
Guardian Bolt Pistol
Frag Grenade x4
Krak Grenade x4
Combat Knife/Chainsword
Biography: Rayvius was born on Aegyptus, a backwater planet that was abandoned by the Imperium during the Africanus Crusade for tactical reasons, primarily due to a warp storm due to hit and isolate the system. As soon as the Imperium abandoned the system, Dark Eldar appeared, enslaving the entire population. Rayvius escaped because a Dark Angels scout took him off the planet as a child, moved by his mother's plaintive pleas for deliverance.
Rayvius was raised as a chapter serf by the Dark Angels and was a full marine by 16, where he promptly joined his battle-brothers in the Africanus Crusade. He never forgot his homeworld, and was haunted by his last moments with his mother. When he was 42, he requested to be sent to Aegyptus to help liberate the planet. The warp storm isolating the system had passed, but the Imperial forces deemed the planet not worth the expense of liberating it. He asked to join a unit of nine other Imperial specialists, agents and assassins. Rayvius' sergeant allowed his request, seeing how Ray's memories of his homeworld distracted him and hoping to excise him of the burden. Rayvius and his team became known on Aegyptus as the Plagues, and after a forty year campaign, managed to sow enough chaos among the Dark Eldar occupiers to allow a liberation force to be validated and force the Dark Eldar off the planet, culminating in a directed orbital bombardment and the assassination of the Archon of the Kabal. The people of Aegyptus immortalized him as the tenth Plague: the Angel of Death, and gave him the honorary name 'Moyses,' which he adopted without reservation.
He went on to serve as a scout and a tactical marine during the remainder of the Africanus Crusade, though with no exceptionally notable heroics. At the close of the Africanus Crusade, he was offered a position in Deathwatch when he was 117, where he has spent the majority of his 90 years as a kill-marine. He was initially assigned to work with one Scout Sergeant Cyrus of the Blood Ravens Chapter, who instilled in him a thirst for knowledge about his enemies, and in his spare time is seen browsing forbidden archives on xenos, searching for new ways to exploit and kill xenos.
Notable Achievements:
Was one of ten Imperial agents (known as the 'Plagues') sent to create a resistance operation on Aegyptus, and after a 40 year campaign of guerrilla warfare and insurrection, successfully assassinated the Archon.
Cleansed the Velcorn system's four inhabitable planets of a Genestealer infestation by himself within a week, accumulating a total kill count of 293 purestrain genestealers, 847 Hybrids of various generations, and two Broodlords.
Physical Description: Short black hair, has a burn scar on his left cheek. Otherwise, your standard Astartes.
Class: Scout/Tactical Marine
Personality: Rayvius is a loner, a trait cultivated during his time on Aegyptus and as a Kill-Marine of the Deathwatch. As he has spent half his life away from other Astartes, he is experienced in non-Astartes interaction, and is much more personable to non-Astartes than most Astartes are. He is quite knowledgeable on xenos, and can speak ork, eldar and tau, as well as High Gothic. He has a healthy thirst for knowledge. His century tenure to Deathwatch is coming to a close, but he has reservations returning to a chapter he has had little connection to. He has contemplated becoming a Blackshield, but feels that he should only take that option if he cannot connect to his old Chapter.
Rayvius can either be a tactical or a scout marine, so I included both options on his equipment and class. Please don't let my choices affect yours.

“Starla!” The mother scolded her child, but Ray was already lost in thought.
"The prisons? That's a start." Still not much of a plan, but its infinitely better than charging headlong into a deathtrap. Only now, I'm charging into a deathtrap with a few hundred potential allies as opposed to only half-a-dozen. “I could probably find a disguise and sneak in,” he started thinking aloud when he noticed little Starla still looking to him pleadingly. He took a knee and placed his hand on her shoulder. “I will do all I can to help your brother. You have my solemn word.”
Starla smiled. “He's 17 and has red hair, you can't miss him. His name is Arthur and he's kinda skinny. He was a guard in training, but the Pirates took him.”
“Thank you,” the mother said. “I had hoped, but didn't want to impose.”
“No, thank you, Missus...” Ray trailed off, lacking a name.
“Lisset.” Ray blinked, the corner of his mouth curled. “Lisset Hester. Oh, here.” She rummaged through a dresser drawer before pulling out a grenade and handing it to him. “Arthur once forgot to put this back in the armory, and its been sitting here since then. Maybe it can help.”
Ray nodded in thanks. He got directions to the prison and bade the family farewell, then finally set out. He slipped from alley to alley and made extra sure to keep an eye out for street patrols and focus on his task at hand. He couldn't dwell on that name. He simply couldn't afford to.

Uhh, its Deathwatch, the armed forces of the Ordo Xenos, not Deathwing, the 1st Company of the Dark Angels.
Just to clarify things.

Sorry I haven't posted yet. I got distracted and have hit a bit of writer's block at the moment. Hopefully I'll post something before bed. Time to get pumped up on piratey songs and stuff.
I'm okay. I thought I posted something last night about "I'll post something tomorrow but its too late tonight and I gotta get up early," but I guess I didn't. I'll get on my post.
EDIT: What's the Kraken Skull Pirates' symbol? Has anyone actually said what it is?
