I'm on it right at the moment. I'll have a post up very soon, though I can't say I can do much to advance the story at its current point.

I was under the impression we had a posting order. I'll try to write something as soon as I can.

ENTER THE ORDO: A Dark Heresy/40k Roleplay

Scintilla... Its outward appearance was rather regal, or at least from the exosphere it did. Quite honestly, Syla was intimidated by the spires of cathedrals and similar massive constructs. It wasn't until the Imperial Naval ship landed upon the Hiveworld, that Syla was truly relieved. This was an environment she was more than used to. The hustling and bustling of overpopulating crowds rummaging in every direction across the planet's innumerable layers... It was just like her home. Perhaps the inhabitants would even pay her more respect than they would afford a mere passerby all thanks to the ornate red robes that covered her. Then again, these thoughts could have stemmed from the fact that life on Mars created all the standard normalities of life for Syla. Rarely had she ever gotten the chance to explore the planets on which her Armada Imperialis fleet would land. There wasn't enough time, not with all the tasks they dumped upon the low ranking Machine Cultists.

All of these factors were the best explanation Syla could muster for immediately veering away from her task with the Inquisition and exploring the area around her final destination. Her curiosity bested all else when she wasn't being closely watched. Her free spirit was a bit of an outstanding trait among her kind. Though, spending most of one's life away from the Adeptus Mechanicus, instead accompanying the Imperial Army all over the place made one a bit of an oddball cultist. The outliers were always the ones the Inquistion chose anyways. Oh right... She had to be there... now. The Enginseer made haste towards her destination. Raised upon a Hiveworld, Syla knew the general ins and outs of getting around, so traversing Scintilla was no different.

Syla's steps were heavy as she hurried around corners and through crowds to the meeting point. Carrying so much equipment was hard enough, but the Adeptus Mechanicus were never renowned for being quiet. After all too many twists and turns, Syla found herself halting rapidly in a particular service shaft. Before her stood a very unique looking crowd. It appeared she was the last to arrive... Which was unfortunately all too common, but the interesting sights didn't stop there. With one man collapsed on the ground, a servitor, and two nearby onlookers, Syla didn't hesitate to step up to the group. With a quick wave of her hand, the woman spoke up.

"Ah, it appears this is the right place. Did we lose someone already?" There is a certain joking tone to her voice, rather uncommon amongst a growing population of monotone and boring Adeptus Mechanicus.

Syla Selulata

| NAME |

Syla Selulata

| PROFESSION |

Adeptus Mechanicus Enginseer

| AGE |

22

| SKILLS |

• Machine Lore - As a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Syla has a very intimate knowledge of all things mechanical. She has learned how to work with machine spirits and is familiar with a vast majority of the Imperium’s technology.
• Cybernetically Enhanced - Due to the numerous implants given to her by the Adeptus Mechanicus, Syla has gained a few unique abilities stemming from her Mechanicus Implants, cybernetic limbs, and Mechadendrite Harness.

| FLAWS |

• Greed - Syla often times can’t help but satiate her wishes to expand her retinue of technology. The overt fascination with machines bred into her by the Adeptus Mechanicus has led to theft and endangerment on more than one occasion.
• Inexperienced - Due to her upbringing, Syla has spent very little time outside of the grasp of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Working her way up to the position of Enginseer has been a long and arduous journey, and it has left her with no experience in high stakes combat situations.
• Undying Curiosity - Above all other things in life is Syla’s search for explored technology. This, rather unfortunately, has extended to forbidden technology as well. The threat of heresy always lingers in Syla’s head.

| EQUIPMENT |

• Armor & Weapons
  
  • Mechanicus Implants - Being a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Syla was granted a host of implants common to Techpriests. Most of these implants provide framework for other cybernetics to build off of.
  • Cybernetic Arms - Syla has replaced both of her arms with bionic counterparts crafted by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
  • Mechadendrite Harness - Bestowed to Syla on her promotion to Enginseer, her Mechadendrite Harness mounts a host of different Mechadendrites.
  • Mechanicus Mask - The common face mask of the Cult Mechanicus' infantry and Skitarii soldiers. It keeps air filtered and enhances the vision of its wearer.
  • Flechette Blaster - Syla’s weapon of choice.
• Miscellaneous
  
  • Dataslate - Syla’s personal store of any bit of knowledge she would ever need.
  • Combitool - Built into the concealed compartment in Syla’s right cybernetic arm, the variety of probes, hooks, and other tools are commonly used when she is attempting to repair machines.

| BIOGRAPHY |

Raised upon the greatest Forge World in the Imperium, Syla was brought up amongst the masses. Her parents worked for the controlling faction of Mars: the Adeptus Mechanicus as rather low ranking menials. This was to be her life as well, and Syla was content to live out just as her progenitors. It wasn’t until a major accident within a factory that the girl’s fate changed. Losing an arm whilst working, Syla was granted a cybernetic limb to allow her work to carry on. After this procedure, Syla’s whole world was changed. After regaining her physical capabilities, an innate curiosity awakened within her. She wanted more. She wanted to become something more than human. As soon as she could afford to, Syla began production of her own cybernetic limb to upgrade her current arm and replace the other.

It was only then, when Syla’s constant seeking for new schematics and knowledge of cybernetics that the Adeptus Mechanicus had taken notice and indoctrinated her as they did her parents so long ago. She swiftly surpassed the rank of Menial and moved on to Lexmechanic, the rank in which she spent the least amount of time. Syla was soon after promoted to Transmechanic due to the heavy need of communications experts for an outgoing Navy fleet. where she spent a great deal of her life. After her first promotion, Syla was tasked with leaving Mars and working with the Imperium on Terra. She found herself only years later becoming a Transmechanic and being shipped off onto an Imperial Navy ship, maintaining communications in the battlefleet. Throughout it all, her love of working with machines never stopped. During down time, Syla would assist Imperium mechanics when they found themselves at a loss and no Enginseers were around.

This unrelenting work ethic paid off when Syla's ship saw its first devastating combat encounter with the forces of Chaos. Syla's unit was massacred, leaving the very few survivors scarred by the evil forces they had witness cut down their closest friends. Being one of the remaining survivors, Syla was the most suitable (and only) living members of the Adeptus Mechanicus able to take the place of the unit's fallen Enginseer, and having spent most of her career with the Imperial men coupled with Syla's knack for machines and intense work, she was the most suitable candidate aboard the ship. Thus began her career in the lowest branch of the Cult Mechanicus. This promotion coupled with the special encounter with the forces of Chaos also made her a target for working with the Inquisition. Having a firsthand experience with the combating of heresy, the Inquisition requested the Adeptus Mechanicus allow the Tech Priest to work instead with the Imperium as she had for so long. The occurrence of Cult Mechanicus members working with the Inquisition was anomalous, but not unheard of, and since Syla was nothing more than an Enginseer, the Machine Cult obliged. Now coveting the equipment of the fallen Enginseer, Syla readied herself for the Inquisition's trials.

@Big Dread@oppositionj are you two still making characters?

@Wraithblade6

I am indeed working on mine. It's taking a while as I am toying with a few different ideas, some of which I am unfamiliar with lore-wise. I should put my sheet up some time today.
