WIP post, three supernatural ideas potentially.

Prey Tell

@TemplarKnight07 they're Supernatural. My character is the last True wotch, but there are still mages and sorcerers around, they just have more limited abilities than a witch born and raised in magic. So mages in sorcerers would have to train and use tattoos and staffs and stuff to access any magic as it doesn't inherently run through them like it would a Witch.

Worry I didn't get to you in the Interest Check, I must have missed it.

@AnaSilan Sunja

NP, thx for the reply. Makes me think I may try for a Mage character or a Hunter.

Prey Tell

I asked this on the interest check and didn't get a response, but how do magic users fit into this rp? Are mages or sorcerers strictly supernatural, or are they potentially hunters or random humans as well?

Prey Tell (Powers/Supernatural Creatures and Hunters)

Interested. Is there such a thing as mages or sorcerers in this, and would they potentially fall under either Hunters or Supernaturals depending on how they use their powers?

The Gregorian - Imperium (Warhammer 50K RP, The Shape of the Nightmare to Come)

-Somewhere on Arexia Prime-

Though almost entirely unnoticed during their operations in the mass commotion the fleet was thrown into during the time it spent adapting to the current arrangement between the Master Inquisitor and the new Emperor, the infiltrators would not leave totally successful in their endeavour.

As the infiltrators' employer would eventually discover, one section of information was conspicuously absent from the massive logs of schematics, manifests, personnel and civilian records and reports, observational reports, and maintenance records was anything substantial pertaining to the Ordo Chronos itself. Everything on the records of every last civilian, human and xenos, as well as all militant forces of the Errant Cohort (now thoroughly mixed in with Gregori's own forces as an extension), and all cargo were fully accessible, but not a single thing about the Ordo Chronos itself showed up with anything but a name and their title within the Ordo. Indeed, beyond the locations of their personal quarters and set aside chambers for Ordo business aboard "The Wandering Chronos" and the fact that their names were listed upon the grand lists of occupants aboard the various vessels, any data or logs pertaining to Ordo business or members were redacted from the main ship cogitator banks. Only public declarations, requests, orders, or commands handed down by Alexius himself, or any of his numerous Inquisitors and authorized members of their retinues, or queries posed to said people showed up in the main cogitator banks.

The Ordo obviously kept a private cogitator for its own use that was not linked to any main system, or did away with one altogether and kept their own records some other way. Either way, they kept their private dealings, and any classified information they wanted stored away, under tighter scrutiny than anything else in the fleet. Nothing Ordo specific left those sequestered and vaulted halls of "The Wandering Chronos" unless it was deemed public, and no Ordo business was discussed in any public setting unless it had been cleared by Alexius, otherwise it was only in those private chambers where the Ordo held its meetings and internal affairs where such matters were discussed. Evidently, Alexius still enforced the old maxim which the old Inquisition had stuck to when it came to access to Ordo information: "Blessed is the mind too small for doubt."

Gideon Armstrong

Gideon Armstrong

• 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐬(𝐞𝐬):
  
  
  
  • "G", to those who know him, only those who know him very well use his full name.
  • "Owl", or "Pack-Rat" for his reputation to move and work at night and for his late-night habits that usually end up with him sleeping through til nearly noon.
• 𝐀𝐠𝐞:
  
  
  
  • Mid-late Twenties.
• 𝐒𝐞𝐱:
  
  
  
  • Male
• 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲:
  
  
  
  • Gideon is someone who is not strictly a loner, but also is someone who does not see himself as needing or wanting too many close ties in The Zone. Jovial, gregarious and talkative to his friends (of which he keeps some, but not many) or those he's trying to strike a bargain with, and curt but polite to others who aren't strangers, he otherwise mostly keeps to himself and his business unless asked, and even then he can be evasive.
    
    A studious and concentrated mind, he fully commits himself to a task to try and see it through to the best of his ability . . . so long as its not hare-brained stupid and the pay-off is compelling enough.
    
    He's also quite protective of what he has and will go to pretty considerable precautions to protect his possessions, such as they are.
• 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲:
  
  
  
  • Gideon grew up in Ontario, Canada, born to a middle-class family in a suburban city he had lived a fairly structured and stable life in his early years before getting his first taste of freedom in University. There he studied in the Humanities, with dreams of becoming a professor, but enormous tuition costs combined with even larger costs of living greatly depressed his prospects of living his dream comfortably. He believed that education should be free, but barring that he believed that if he were expected to have money then he wanted to find the best way to make money as quickly as possible. He had no desire to toil away in some boring desk job for decades earning a meagre pay-check when he could be out enjoying life and all the pleasures it could bring as well, or partaking in a career he actually enjoyed when he is in the prime years of his life.
    
    Fears of nuclear war and annihilation from said war had also plagued on his mind, though after the brief exchange of the Two-Day War and finding that they weren't all going to be vaporized or die of cancer immediately, he found out an excellent means of profiting off of the unique situation there. The raw materials and equipment that could be salvaged from within The Zones could yield tremendous profits on the world market just by weight alone, for those brave enough to risk radiation and potential death.
    
    Thus, working through his academic channels, Gideon managed to procure himself into an exchange program in Germany, under the pretense of getting a Masters studying the human impacts of The Zones. Mostly to help with a convincing story if he got stopped by German Immigration or possibly the Military forces cordoning off whichever Zone he picked to try and enter, though he trusted his money to be more convincing than whatever bullshit story he came up with. He used what funds he had saved to buy some basic gear for travelling and protection within the Zone, and bribed his way through some of the Guards of The Circle with promises of more to come given access to the wealth that could be found within The Zone.
    
    That was five years ago, since then, Gideon has worked to become self-sufficient within the Zone, become a aware to its numerous hazards and how to protect himself against them, and has worked to make a name for himself as a proficient scavenger and salvager. Working both on commission and out of his own volition, he picks at the bones of dead cities and human habitations for anything of value on the Black Market, trying to save up enough money to get rich quick and return home without being killed or arrested.

There, edited out the recommended changes in my original app post.

Pending acceptance, I'm thinking depending on the time of day the first post is in, Gideon will either be just waking up from sleep (in which case he'll probably be in a settlement), or he'll be out "working"(which would mean he'd be in an abandoned factory or residential area scavenging for anything of value, I'll leave it to your discretion which area he's in). The former being if we start anytime around mid-day, or the latter if we start anywhere after nightfall.

The Gregorian - Imperium (Warhammer 50K RP, The Shape of the Nightmare to Come)

Inquisitor Alexius Commenus

The Master of both the formerly independent Errant Cohort Fleet and re-ratified Ordo Chronos walked through the halls of "Saint's Chariot". His own Battleship, "The Wandering Chronos" was within sight, though he had taken a transport cutter aboard for the meeting. He had deemed not to bring any members of his Ordo for this, it was a private meeting and he could fill them in on any necessary details pertaining to them later. He did bring a small escort of Stormtroopers with him, but they were mostly for show, he and Gregori were allies, after all. He had pledged his quite substantial forces and fleet to the new Emperor upon his unexpected encounter with the system several months ago, and had declared his allegiance to Gregori as well and the legitimacy of his office throughout his own people.

In return, Gregori's forces had set about repairing and manning the fleet with fresh troops and had begun resettling the civilians, appropriating their vessels, and had officially declared the legitimacy of Alexius' titles and that of his Ordo, becoming a formal Master Inquisitor again under the Gregorian Imperium.

So far, the alliance had been going well between them, but then so far it had fulfilled the easy terms of both sides. Now it was going to be tested. Gregori had told him when they first met that he had plans to expand into the next sector, and this meeting likely was in regards to that. Alexius would now have to see how things went and re-evaluate how to proceed if things did not go according to plan.

But that was enough of hypotheticals, time to focus on the now. He left his escorts to their own devices outside of the meeting room, Gregori's own troops standing at attention and unwavering at his approach before making way, they knew of him from previous visits.

He entered the room, removing his hat as he did so to smooth out his hair but keeping his coat on. He inclined his head towards Gregori and his captain respectfully with a smile that showed a few teeth. No harm in looking a little predatory. He walked over to to his place near Gregori's right side, glancing over at the woman who was also present. An interesting figure, he hadn't met her personally, but he had heard brief snippets of stories of her, a hedonistic warrior of no small talents. He cared not if she was actually a Slaaneshi devoutee as some of his inner circle suspected based on rumours, if she was, she'd evidently found a way to maintain enough control over herself to make it an effective tool.

Either way, he took his own seat near Gregori and made himself comfortable as he waited.

The Good

• As I read your history I was ready to get mad that you weren't gonna explain why a Canadian had come all the way to Germany just to join the RP. Then you explained it. LOL. His motivations are pretty interesting and you've covered all your bases in this respect. Kudos.
• "Owl" ties with "Roach" as my favorite nickname so far in the census.
• Interesting choice in weapons. His fighting style will be interesting to see. Two pistols tho!

Improvements Needed

• I'm not sure the parents would approve of their son wanting to wander into the Zone (for any reason). Might be better to just leave it at "getting a Masters in a foreign exchange program," and then acquire the survival supplies while over there.
• Hare-brained. ;)
• You need an unarmored photo, bro, or at least a physical description.

@pugbutter

Alright. I just didn't see any unarmoured photos on the others so I didn't understand what the deal was.

As for the parents bit it was mostly just a way to explain how he got the money together to buy some basic gear and bribe his way in, he obviously didn't ask permission to go to The Zone. But I'll edit them out.
