Warhammer 40k: First into the field and the last out of it! - An Imperial Guard RP [CLOSED]

@Jbcool I'd like to re-enlist back to the Guard.

@Oak7ree

Welcome back, son, the Emperor loves a trier.

Feel free to use an edited Erwyn Kovacs again, if you like.

@DeadDrop@Deadnaut@Kuro@FrostedCaramel@Oak7ree@Drunken Conquistador@CaptainBritton@tech@Katthaj

Just putting this here because you guys (and girls) were involved in my last effort, and I honestly let you down badly, this is an attempt to redeem myself in some ways by writing a (hopefully) fun and enjoyable RP that won't peter out due to my stupidity and life issues.

If you'd like to sign up again, I'd be more than happy to have you.

Warhammer 40k: First into the field and the last out of it! - An Imperial Guard RP [CLOSED]

I'm interested. How many are you looking for?

@Lasersquid112

A squads worth, so that could be anywhere from five to eight, or slightly more if things take off.

Warhammer 40k: First into the field and the last out of it! - An Imperial Guard RP [CLOSED]

Colonel Aditya Sabbadin slid the dataslate softly onto the small, round, table beside him and steepled his fingers as he gazed with hard brown eyes into the crackling fire of his personal quarters; outside the weather raged, the wind howling and the rain pouring down in slanted sheets, drenching whomsoever should find themselves abroad on this cold night. His mind worked over the events of the day, and both eyes and mind went back to the dataslate - blinking upon its luminous face were the exploits of the Tanith First and Only, the so-called 'Gaunt's Ghosts' of yore - thoughts of the now entirely deceased regiment of superlative light infantry only casting doubt into his mind about the future of his own specialists in light and reconnaissance warfare, a regiment he had been gifted command of that very day!

The (Fifty-Second) Uzanian Rifles, a fresh founding on the orders of the Lord-Protector himself, and the cream of Uzania Primes youth and PDF experience ground into a new formation, sat in their barracks and awaited his order to embark into the unknown - they were not, and would never be, the Tanith...but he knew they had the potential to be.

As his chill glass of amasec touched his lips once more he allowed his mind to wander, to think over Uzania Prime itself - a world very like Ancient Terra, before the oceans evaporated, the central and inhabited world of a small sector of several planets - the society inhabiting it being very much what one would expect of a planet classed as 'Civilised' by the powers that be. True, it was more stratified into rurals and urbanites (or farmers and blue bloods if you like) than some planets, but this only made the forming of regiments and their officer cadre easier.

There we those among his regiment from all walks of life - from the rugged highlanders and mountain men and women, to the amphibious experts of the ocean-dwelling nations - Uzania Prime being a planet split into many locations.

They had all come here to the capital city of Ancerora for basic training over a nearly eight month period - something almost unheard of among the ranks of the Guard - specialising in different environments present on the planet, and specifically in irregular warfare.

Yes, tomorrow he would take them into the stars, and from there who knew to what end?

You're fresh, you're (mostly) prepared, you are (mostly) proud men and women of the Uzanian Rifles!

You are a part (the 3rd platoon of the 2nd company) of the fifty-second tithing of a regiment known for their abilities to operate in most climates and weather conditions as light infantry and reconnaissance troops.

Trained to be individualistic and trusting in ones own abilities in the heat of the moment, as well as the soldier beside you, the Uzanians (Oo-zarnians) take to the field clad in standard-issue 'Cadian pattern' uniforms (for now) though patterned in woodland camouflage and armed with a slightly altered pattern of lascarbine, being less of a carbine and more of a longer-ranged and more accurate las-gun packing a somewhat stronger punch than usual.

After thirty-two weeks of basic training, and piles of paperwork for the Administorum, the Fifty-Second is now ready to engage the enemies of the Imperium across the blighted landscape of the divided Milky Way in His glorious name!

Okie dokie, firstly welcome, now I'm going to try and make this as short as I can.

I have no rules (minus the obvious ones commonly used throughout most role-plays) apart from notifying me/a co-GM of either an extended absence or if you intend to leave. This is simply so I can carry on and know who is where and so on and so forth.

Right...

The only other thing is probably initiative, meaning the initiative of players; while not an entirely sandbox experience, I do like players to think for themselves. I shall be guiding things along but 'in the field' so-to-speak I do find it acceptable for players to forge ahead, as long as it doesn't damage the overall plot.

For example, you're in a village and get ambushed – now I'm happy for their to be as many enemies as you wish to kill, for the players to pretty much defeat the enemy as they see fit, and to ultimately carry the day, so long as they don't carry it beyond that.

If in doubt about what you can and can't get away with, just ask me. It makes things much easier.

On the issue of Character Sheets, I don't want any, however what I will ask is for each player to just post up the basics of their character in the following format;

[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Former Profession:[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b]
[b]Specialisation:[/b]

That's all.

Almost everyone will also be starting as a simple soldier, though some may have a little more experience than others. The highest rank is likely to be Sergeant, so if you'd like a higher rank (not that it will make much difference IC), please give me a message.

I believe that's it (for now), so if you do have any questions or queries then feel more than free to ask.

History and Founding

Uzania Prime began life in the same way as many Imperial worlds, a large colonial group - in the case of Uzania a group made up in the majority of efficient and rugged Terrans from the nation of Jermani - sent off into the unknown to populate a new planet and help ease the sufferings of what was an already fracturing world. This was duly done, the uninhabited planet swiftly becoming less so, the hardy colonists transforming the Earth-like world into a unique planet made to suit their own needs.

During the 'Old Night', or Age of Strife (from what surviving records can tell), Uzania suffered as much as any other world on the 25th to 30th Millennia, being isolated by warpstorms and isolated from the galaxy at large much as the Throneworld itself was during this period. Psykers abound, mutation was rampant, and Chaos seeped into everything...nevertheless, Uzania survived and even thrived.

It was only after the events of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy that Uzania Prime was rediscovered, one of several planets (the other being more minor planetoids) in the Uzania System, and the only inhabited world as far as anyone knew.

Uzania had developed by itself, using pre-Old Night technology as best they could, but not being able to develop past what the Imperium would call a 'civilised' state without Imperial intervention - it nevertheless proved to be a perfect breeding ground for formations of the Astra Militarum, the soldiers of the planet having retained a warrior ethos and organisation inherited from generations of forebearers all the way back to the rugged highlanders and mountain folk of their far-distant past.

As in many cultures over time, the majority of the Uzania military had been recruited from the 'savage' and 'uncivilised' mountain-dwellers and forest-folk of the central nations of Uzania - the planet being split between the many biomes therein, and containing a variety of peoplea and ways of life - the whole structure taking on a distinctly backward flavour under the guidance of ten generations of 'Kaisers' or Emperors from similar backgrounds.

With the coming of the God-Emperors representatives, Imperial officials escorted by Guard protection, a war came to the peoples of Uzania Prime that try as they might they just could not winc - and win they did not. In the end, after three decades of ferocious conflict spanning the breadth of the planet, the leaders of the Uzania nations agreed to form into a unified entity under the aegis of the Imperium of Man, and the only Emperor they would know would be the 'Gott-Kaiserón his golden throne and the Planetary-Governor assigned from a number of rotated royal houses on the planet.

The very first regiment of what were to become the Uzanian (1st) Rifles - crack shots and expert all-terrain soldiers, raised primarily in the most rugged landscapes of Uzania Prime, and clad in their distinctive caps and grey flak-lined uniforms, - was founded from the first planetary tithe to partake in a little-known conflict of the the 7th Black Crusade, known in some sectors as the Ghost War.

Proving themselves capable of adaptable soldiers, the planet has since raised over fifty more regiments for the Imperium - not as many as larger worlds, but more than enough for a planet and population of their size and place in the wider galaxy.

Characterised by their uniform, their battle-cant that is a corrupted form of the original Jermani language, and their specialisation of fighting in more extreme environments, the Uzanians have proven themselves a hundred times over across multiple theatres of war and against most enemies of the Imperium.

Whether the 52nd Rifles can continue this reputation remains to be seen, but if anything it is certain they will do their utmost...or die trying.

The New Pride: A Second Founding RP [A 40K RP]

@Lady Selune I seem to have arrived too late, but if you would have me then I'd be happy to join - I don't even mind taking on a lesser position if there are no higher ones left. If I have arrived too late, then I shall return to the shadows.

Warhammer 40k: Enemy Without, Enemy Within - an 'Ecclesiarchal' RP [Mature][High Casual/Low Advanced]

@Andreyich@BCTheEntity@jbeil(@Irredeemable)

Some time later...

Victorine allowed herself the slightest of smiles as she felt the stiff breeze move through her hair and over her pleasant features, the facial movement leaving almost as soon as it had arrived however, the constant droning on of the Governors cybernetic emissary making sure she had not a moment of silence to enjoy an otherwise Emperor-blessed journey through the Cekrov countryside.

Emperor it was good to be away from Bovange - an entire city of desperate and sycophantic nobles, some might even call them corrupt in the non-Chaotic sense (although maybe she would see about that later?) - the wide-open pastures that made up the primary produce centres of this planet reminding her of former lands and more...agreeable missions for the Preceptory.

"This village, emissary, does it have a name?"

"And that i- excuse me Celestian, pardon?"

"The village where this girl returned to life, does it have a name or do the nobles on this planet give them numbers?"

"I believe the workers call it Sarton, it is a small community of some hundred or so peasant-workers under the charge of Baron Terminus Gaspar, this 'resurrection' has greatly reduced output."

A grunt was all that this last statement elicited, those keen eyes taking in the blue skies and the unpolluted air associated with many agri-worlds, and the smile ever-so-slowly returning.

---

Sarton was indeed a small community, so small that everyone knew everyone and one person's business was as much theirs as it was anothers, and production had indeed descreased with the spooking of the villagers/workers, but that was nothing compared to the scene that awaited the group and their escort.

It started with a hint of thick black smoke rising above the low-down rooftops in curling arcs, the flicker of flames igniting thatched roofs and mainly wooden cottages - something not seen on many Imperial worlds at all - the last breaths of the dying and the wails of the mourning.

To their credit the two squads of Cekrov guard that had accompanied them were on their guard the moment they spotted the carnage, gloved fingers resting on triggers and steady hands holding gun stocks to shoulders.

Victorine's hand went to her bolt-pistol as soon as the tang of battle hit her nostrils, a loud word from her bringing the convoy of light grav-transports to a halt just in front of the road into the village - a road which would lead directly to the village green and the middle of the settlement.

"Emissary remain here, and if you could send your soldiers around the fringes of the town to encircle and secure, then I would be most thankful."

The Sister-Celestian was already moving to scoop up her helmet and place it over her head, drawing her blade and gesturing for her fellow Warriors of the Emperor to do the same, her enchanced senses picking out the smaller details of bullet casings, accelerant used to hasten the fires, and the audibly louder cracks of receeding auto-gun fire from the other side soon to be joined by the lighter snap of las-fire.

Warhammer 40k: Behind Enemy Lines - A Primaris Marine RP

I'm going to make this short and sweet, so much so that I'm not even going to put up any form of OOC 'front page', nor will I be asking for a detailed Character Sheet - although this is the 'Advanced' section, so I won't just be shrugging and allowing anyone in either.

Following the example set out in the Astartes short films, my own mind for quite some time (and as I've tried to do before), and most any ABD novel from the Black Library, we're going to be going with a small squad (four-to-five Marine squad) Astartes into a variety of scenarios, areas and battlefields to use the Astartes as the avenging angels and Emperor's scalpel that they are commonly meant to be - on that note, check out Brothers of the Snake if you haven't already.

The squad will be taking the form of a multi-geneseed Infiltrator squad from a yet-to-be-named Primaris Chapter, members of Bobbie G's newest Scout replacement force Vanguard Space Marines, the Primaris answer to a special operations force that is usually sent in ahead of the main force; due to this, there should be plenty of scope to flesh out the characters while carrying this on at a decent pace, using characters that can take some punishment as well as dishing it out.

If you're interested then please submit your character sheets by Private Message to me, myself and I - once accepted you can post them in the Char tab.

Name: Your character's name. Feel free to give it Legion/Chapter specific 'flavour'.

Rank: Obvious, if you'd like to pop in as a Helix Adept for the squad, please tell me.

Age: Age in real space time, not including freezing.

Gene-sire: From which Primarch does your Marine take his gene-seed (or presume they do)?

Personal Demeanour: What kind of person is your character outside of simply being living weapons, what are their motivations etc, and how do they interact with others? Also please include any hatreds, grudges, and so on.

Description: A written description of your character's appearance, feel free to include the condition of their armour and so on.

History: A sketch of your character's life and history, preferably until their selection by Cawl and subsequent 'ascension'. Give me three solid paragraphs, at least, please.

Equipment and Armament:

Mark X Phobos Power Armour
'Marksman' Pattern Bolt Carbine
Omni-scrambler
Combat Knife (Optional)
Frag Grenade
Krak Grenade
Smoke Grenade

Miscellaneous: Anything you want to mention but haven't been able to cover yet.
