Very interested! Just few questions I have for the Machine faction: Are humans still around for the battles or is it just intelligent drones or androids? Or are the humans controlling them like robots/mechsuits? Also how far advanced is the Tech for the Machina?
This type of armor is usually used by Death Troopers of the Empire, but has been refitted to provide Gurista more command flexibility. The more durable armor still provides the stealth properties of the original armor to help conceal Gurista's presence on the battlefield, but also comes with advanced communication systems to be able to communicate with his forces, advanced sensor and targeting systems to giving him total situational awareness of a battle, enhanced with macromotion monitor, Macrobinoculars, multi-frequency targeting and acquisition sensors to assist when picking targets of interest, and finally his voice emitter has been modified to allow his voice to travel across the battlefield in a thunderous pitch.

Custom Model 434 Death Hammer

Skills:
Elite Stormtrooper: A mix of years of experience, advanced training, and surgical enhancements had made Gurista much more capable than the average Storm Trooper. Even for his age, he surpasses his average brethren in most fields.
Captain: Having years of experience and taken place in several key battles has earned Gurista the rank of Captain. Due to his training and his familiarity with Imperial Storm Troopers, he has proven to be quite the Leader. Knowing his forces capability better than most Navy Commanders from his first hand experience in battle with his Storm Troopers.
Feared Reputation: Gurista has gained a Fearsome Reputation in the battlefield. Known as the 'Black Hand' by some. His appearance on and off the battlefield usually brings fear of what is to come by the Empire.
Weaknesses:
Dark armor: Due to his Armor's dark color contrasting with his Storm Trooper's bone White Armor, it doesn't take a genius to figure out he isn't the average line-soldier. Possibly marking him as a target.
Stubborn: Gurista does not take No for an answer. While sometimes a valuable trait, it will prove to be a curse as It personally put's himself and his men in dangerous positions.
Imperial Radical: Gurista has a unyielding hate for all that stand against the Empire or of the Empire's practices. Several times this has caused him to act more on emotion than logic.
History: Tonor Gurista was born on the Planet Denon. Born to a small working class family. Tonor as a child always had dreams of exploring the galaxy and with propaganda thrown at him as a young boy, he had willingness to fight for his government. He had joined the Imperial Military at the age of 14. Scoring quite well in the the academy, both physically and mentally. His high Moral, motivation, and loyalty to the Empire putting him higher than most at his academy.
After becoming a full fledged Storm Trooper, he was assigned to the 501st. He was first belittled and treated poorly due to him being a new join in what was known as one of the Elite Storm trooper Corps in the galaxy. Although this had forged him into one of the elite and his full potential was reached. After several years of serving as a line member, he had proven himself during the Battle of Hoth. Becoming a Captain. After several years of training and enchantments, Captain Gurista Eventually earned himself a feared reputation with his Distinct look and success rate on the battlefield. Leading the Front lines and handling situations before they could even be reported to his superiors on communication lines.
It was not long until the battle of Endor took place. Already promoted at this time. Captain Gurista led several squads of Storm Troopers to defend and recover platforms on the Planet. Having the Native named Drunk Dug to help them set up ambushes. It was soon apparent to all that the Death Star II was destroyed and the Empire had lost the battle.
Using Several stolen star fighters, Captain Gurista's forces fought their way out and eventually linking up with a Tartan-class Cruiser. Several months past as they conducted hit and Runs on what was now known as the New Republic. Doing as much damage as they could before they died fighting. It wasn't until they had received a message from the now nearby Ultmara sector Imperial forces. With promises of rebuilding the Empire, Gurista and several of his Storm Troopers quickly came to the aid of Jacsen Orro.
Life recently punched me in the mouth and I don't know when I'll be back. Just exclude me because how it seems I won't be back any time soon. Hope you guys understand.

Part of me wants to add the Corpus, or even the Infested. I just don't think we need another mindless group whose goal amounts to nothing more than spreading themselves via the annihilation of all that exists.
Whatcha tryna say...
For the record. The Tyranids actually will have a "officer" further on in the Rp that will be able to intelligently communicate peacefully with other factions. Does it makes sense for 'Nids? Hell no! Although I'm not really worried about all that due to the setting. I'm trying to avoid being the RP's common threat against everyone and the "bad guy". At least later on in the RP.
Spooky's flaming eyes shrunk in annoyance after hearing this man call him a "fine specimen". He still didn't like the situation, but his story made some sense and it didn't seem like he had any bad intentions for either of them. Offering the bottle that helped his friend deal with the smell that he definitely couldn't sense, was a kind offering. Making the crowd of Undead was kind as well. Still what does he have to gain for all this. A chance to just observe Spooky?
As the man lead them to the tower, Spooky felt at home at first. The sights making him more of home than the feeling of eeriness he would assume most would feel. He could also feel the force that repelled the wandering Undead. He felt a overwhelming presence of danger the wards placed for the undead. Spooky knew better that it was just the Wards doing their job, but it only made him feel more cautious of this man. With the invite to stay, it pushed him to finally speak.
In his harsh, guttural voice, Spooky addressed the man. Not allowing his friend's question to be answered first. "You first tell us you seen many undead being created. By whom?". Spooky brought his blade to bear. Slamming it's massive figure besides the Man, the Sword's hilt standing just over Ikebode's head. Showing he was deadly serious about the questions. "Furthermore... What purpose does any of this serve? Why would anyone risk their life to conduct research about the Undead, besides if to destroy them? Especially one who has already seen how they are created..."
The sound of the blade seemed to catch some of the local Undead's attention. Adding a little more to the stressful nature Ikebode was probably feeling.
