Green iz best!!! (Idea closed)

@Ollumhammersong Serious question: Which one is Gork, and which one is Mork? For the purposes of this campaign.

Green iz best!!! (warhammer 40k ork roleplay idea)

Well, obviously I'm interested. Likely I'll take the part of the group cook/explosives expert. If orks understood the concept, he might be called a 'chemist.'

Okay, just a couple more things:

When the game begins, will there be something stopping us from gaining power/abilities/gear?
If the group has a mek and a painboy, then it's entirely reasonable that cybork upgrades and powerklaws could be attached to various group members. Assuming we end up co-operating more than normal, we could feasibly elect a leader among ourselves. Would the leader then grow into a nob, as ork leaders tend to?

I asked about the terrain and kind of tasks we'll be facing because it will help players know going in what kinds of characters will actually be playable. Playing a kommando is perfectly reasonable, from a power-level perspective, but if we're never in a situation where one of us being sneaky would come up, then it's no different than playing an ork boy. Especially if we're expected to constantly be near each other.

These questions aren't me trying to manipulate things to my advantage, or to spoil the surprise. I've RPed in the 40k universe a number of time, here, on other websites, and even on the table top. The same problems tend to come up, and I'd like to avoid them where possible.
The 40k setting is massive, and deals with everything from grots to imperial titans in terms of scale. It's quite often a problem when people come to a game with different expectations of where on that scale they're going to be, in terms of both importance and potency.
It's also a setting capable of exploring every conceivable type of adventure. When people create characters who excel in certain scenarios, especially in an advanced thread where characters require a great deal of time and effort to create, they can be quite upset when they find out all that effort is for nothing.

When it comes down to it, I think this could be an amazing narrative with great opportunities for roleplaying unique scenarios, while also being quite fun. However, I also see all the potential issues, and experience has taught me to be weary of those things.

Alright, that's the basics out of the way. Now, to go a bit more in-depth.

What version of orks are we going for here? Will these orks be the grim-dark war mongers of death and destruction type, or the goofy, dumb-funny joking type of orks? Are we going to be monsters like a large percentage of the cannon would describe orks as, or the joke that their codex makes them out to be?

As a group, will we have worked together before? Are we an existing mob that has been together for a while, or will we be just random boyz who decided to group up because we could?

How important will we be to the overall plot? Are we meant to be 'heroes' who are sent on missions that the bosses need done, and thus our final decision of who to back will carry weight? Or, do the bosses themselves each have a preset destiny in store for them, and who we pick just decides what kind of game we play near the end?

How are we going to handle group equipment? For example, if our mob has a truk, who gets to drive? Who gets to use the guns? Will we decide as a group what kind of equipment is on the truk, or will the one designated the driver be considered the 'owner' who gets to make the final decision on what happens to it? Or, will there just always be an NPC driving us where we need to go in whatever the plot demands we be riding in?

What about in-fighting? Orks are well known for vying for power, especially within their own groups. Will we be depicting the typical ork traits, and thus constantly sparing with each other? Will our group be special, and more effective because of a surprising level of co-operation? Or will there just be a nob among us who keeps us in line, and if so who?

How about the planet we're landing on? What kind of terrain should we expect? Who will we be fighting? It would be quite annoying to create a mek who specializes in looting enemy war gear, only to find out we're fighting tyrannids the majority of the time.

Green iz best!!! (warhammer 40k ork roleplay idea)

Do we have to be orks? Could we instead be grots? If so, do we have to be basic grots, or can we have special gear? Examples in order of potency: mortars, grot tanks, killa kans.

Would we be allowed to be stealth boyz? How about an odd boy? Loota?

Orks come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes on the table top, but truth be told they're like most other races. Most variants of ork are just boyz with different varieties of shooty/stabby kit. So, what are we allowed in our selection of weapons/wargear?

Leviathan Fang

This is a character concept I'd wanted to try for a while. Kind of inspired by the Edolis arc, I foresee him becoming a sort of artificer type character. He's got room to grow elsewhere, but I left that part vague on purpose... That purpose being, in part, because this was meant to be kind of an application, and he has no idea about most of it himself. I know, though... I know.

Magic Abilities

The Nine Great Gates: I don't know, magic battery? It's a really old magical technique my family has used for longer than we can remember. There used to be an entire clan of us, but now it's just me, my dad, and my two older brothers. Basically, it lets us store our magic energy by collecting whatever we have at the end of the day with a magic spell that just holds it. Each of the 'Gates' are a sort of seal, and each seal takes longer to open but can store more power. That's pretty much it, though. I mean, there's a technique for storing other people's magic, too, but I don't know that one. I can't actually use the magic to cast any spells, because I don't know any. I can't even access the six gates past the first circle, just the ones that are only for my personal use. I can only donate magic to any of the outer circles, and not even my grandpa knew how to access the last three gates.

Skills and Work Experience

This is where things get interesting. When my family forgot what all the power we store is supposed to be used for, we kept pumping energy into the collective family reserve, but we didn't have anything to do with it. That is, until my grandfather opened the first magic car transport service. Since we've got so much magic saved up, we can use magic engines to get people where ever they need to go, and fast. I've spent the past seven years as a local driver for the family business, as well as working as the main mechanic.

Combat Experience

Ugh... I hit a robber with my bike once. Growing up with two older brothers, I guess I know the usual stuff about fighting. My dad made us all take basic self-defense lessons, in case someone nasty got into our car, or someone wanted to skip out on their ticket. I've never been a magic fight with a mage, though.

Reasons for Applying

I don't want to work for my family business for the rest of my life. With two older brothers in line to the title before me, the chances are slim it will ever be me running the place. So, I figured I'd be a lot more useful somewhere I can do more than just drive rich people around.

Why Should We Pick You?

Well, like I said, I'm the family mechanic. I've been tinkering around with magic engines for years, and magic items in general. In my free time, I've been working on some things I could potentially use to do some pretty amazing stuff. Everything from letting mages use magic spells they have no idea how to cast, to maybe even letting a bunch of mages work together on one spell from all over the country, maybe even the world.
Until I've goten that all done, though; Well, I've got my own magic car, a magic bike, and a magic utility vehicle I made. With all that, I can get people where they need to go.

Leviathan Fang

I'm assuming this is still open, but I don't use discord so I can't help but wonder if I'm out of the loop. So, I guess I'm just checking.

The Seven Deadly Sins; No where left but up.

Hell works a lot like our world. But think of it like Hollywood. Celebrities rise and fall, and often replaced by who people want or like. The sins got were like the superstars, Lucifer the executive producer, the archfiends the board, and everyone else filling different roles based on what as needed. But hell is a lot less lawless, demons breaking the rules all the time. And Demons who are jealous or hateful towards the Sins, thinking they deserve the spotlight, plotted and fought their way to where they were in the prime situation to through the sins of their pedestals. The sins , angry, depressed, and betrayed, had nowhere to go but the deepest parts of hell. This Rp is them going to the mortal plane, or our world, to start life anew, causing some hell all the while, and dealing with challenges they've never had to deal with before.

Can I finish the main thread now?

@Dealdric

I see...

No offence to you, but I shall kindly be withdrawing my interest at this time. I believe I've greatly misunderstood the concept here, and feel I'd only detract from the experience if I tried to take part.

Sin

Wrath

Demon Name

Set
(Actual name unpronouncable by humans; This is what the Egyptians called him, and the name stuck)

Gender

Identifies as male and uses masculine pronouns.

Appearances

Reference photo

In the current age, he appears as a young, white male of an unnassuming demenour. He tends to wear a dress shirt and tie, dress pants, and wire-rimmed glasses. Occassionally, he will wear a matching dress coat. His shoes are leather business shoes.
His demonic form is bestial, strongly remonicent of a canine though no specific type, including dagger like claws and oversized fangs. Massive in size, he stands well over ten feet tall. While in this form, his body ripples with thick muscle and his limbs become longer, equally equipped to carry him upright or on all fours. The jetblack fur that covers him is a stark contrast to his glowing red eyes. In all, his apperance is likely the source of any number of ancient, canine-associated myths, such as wolfmen and black hounds.

Age

13.8 billion years, approximately; Or, just over 6,000, depending on who you ask. He largely doesn't care.

Pre-Sin-hood Biography

He has held the title of Wrath since it was created. Before that, he was counted among the general's of Lucifer's armies. The title of Wrath was given to him as a demotion. When it came time to name the horsemen who would ride out during the end of days, Set believed himself the obvious choice for War. Not only was he not named War, he was not made a rider of any of the horses. In blind fury, he cut a swath of destruction through the rank and file that lasted until Lucifer himself cast him into the deepest, darkest pit in Hell.
In truth, the title of Wrath was given to him as a punishment. A reminder that even the greatest warriors in hell were not above reprisal for foolish actions.

Special Sin ability

Contrary to popular beliefe, his ability is not simply to inspire anger in others. Wrather, he has the ability to look into other people's pasts. Then, he can make people remember whatever events he wants them to remember, and can even alter the way people remember them. Most importantly, though, he can force people to hold onto the memories he creates, cementing them in their minds forever.
With practice, though, he has learned to use this ability to great effect. While he can generally dig up something within anyone that can get them upset, more careful administrations, over time, can accomplish so much more. To him, a sudden, violent outburst of rage is a failure. Instead, he looks to instill the seeds of loathing into his targets, aiming to turn the often overlooked and unnappreciated into gruesome serial killers and devastating terroists.

@Dealdric I'm assuming that you'll be taking on the role of the world we live in.

Either way, I'm interested. If there's no major objections, I'd like to lay claim to wrath.
