@Abstract Proxy Accepted! Feel free to toss her over into the Characters tab.

For everyone who's been accepted so far, please feel free to post in the IC tab what your characters have been doing during the caravan trip before the first GM post. Interact with each if you'd like! This is completely optional

Some guidelines:

• At a standard pace, the caravan is expected to take at least a 3 days from its departure from Guanyo, which is a fortress town and an Imperial supply point before reaching the northern edge of the northern provinces where Ssanjuu is located.
• Normally the trip between Guanyo and Ssanjuu would take about a day. However, unnatural magicks have caused increasingly turbulent rains and snowstorms to plague the land. Detachments of imperial mages have been sent ahead to establish waypoints and safe paths free from storms - or at least lessening their impact.
• The first GM post will take place around midday of day 2.
• The convoy officially formed in the capital city of Bei Taiyang under the caravan master Chungho Pan. Pan was a former army officer under the old nation of Wei, and has a generally good and honest reputation. The convoy has been winding through Beinan heading north buying critical relief goods from the more prosperous central towns with official Imperial credit. Many other merchants and travelers have taken part and dropped off from the convoy during its travel time
• The total caravan time was expected to take about a month and a half from Bei Taiyang to Ssanjuu.
• The convoy currently as it left Guanyo is decent mid-sized with 23 wagons. One wagon is staffed and zealously guarded by an Imperial patrol of 5 along with an Imperial witch-artificer. All have been warned that any attempt to look inside the wagon will be met severe punishment as determined by the Patrol Leader. Otherwise they're fairly nice people, all six veterans from the Great Unification.

Alright, sounds good. Glad to hear! I actually intended to make two characters, but because of time constraints yesterday I was only able to produce one. Any chance I might slip with another face here? So long it doesn't ruin your plans for a small group, that is.

@Cohors

Slip that lad in if you think you're able to handle two characters!

Into the Warp : Before Chaos

Pyrra Nos

Pyrra Nos

^{ASPERA - 6 573 258 6594
Early 20's ◆ Combat Engineer ◆ Male}

. . .
"Alien, mutant, heretic - don't matter what they are, they all blow up just the same."

Summary

While Pyrra may have a story, it is but one amongst the endless sea of others that fill the Imperium and keeps it running. All that is necessary to know about him is recorded in his service record. Born on the fringe Hive World Aspera, he joined the local PDF after the local governer was overthrown for the current one, where he was part of the loyal faces which placed the new governer into his seat. His time in the PDF was spent putting down further unrest and upheavals which threatened to affect the tithes given to the Administarum, where he received consistent praise for his loyalty and devotion. So much so that when an Astra Militarum regiment appeared seeking replenishment from all nearby systems, Pyrra was the first amongst many of his cohorts to be given willingly and happily to the Imperial Guard.

Unfortunately for the Militarum, they quickly found Pyrra to be a combative, aggressive soldier who knew a little too much about how to operate the heavier and intricate weaponry employed by the Militarum. While normally positive traits for any Guardsman, it also came coupled with a subservise insubordination that often endeared him to fellow soldiers, but drove any commissar or any other commissioned officer to despise him. Unfortunately for them, his charismatic nature, his complete devotion to the Emperor, and his uncanny skills in being an utterly ruthless and fearless soldier meant that his superiors could often do little more than shuffle him around until he ended up among the ranks of the Brazen Aurora.

Personality

Most would describe Pyrra as an easygoing lad. While never the first to volunteer for a mission, he'll nevertheless always do what needs to be done, especially if the things need doing will ultimately lead to his own survival later in the long run. Ultimately, besides the Emperor, the only other person who matters in his life is himself, first and foremost. Besides dallying with heresy, as he knows courting the Ruinous Powers will only lead to the destruction of who he is at his core, Pyrra will do anything to ensure that he'll always be the one last left standing.

@Vox I apologize, believe I missed the deadline here, had a sudden work surge and (without shame) filled whatever free time I had left with mindless videogames.

@Dion

No worries! Reworking things so people can still apply even after the first post goes out, so do still feel free to apply if you'd like to join.

Same goes for @Abstract Proxy!

That being said, welcome aboard @Pagemaster and @Cohors! Feel free to throw both of your lovely beans into the character tab.

Cohors I'll get to plotting with you soon about Not-Mongolia!

For everyone, first IC post will be up next Saturday, 10/22. It'll be either really early or really late depending on how much work I get done. Either way, please do look forward to it, and as always if any of you have questions please do feel free to ask.

If you could fill out a bit more about Abd's Motivation that'd be fantastic. It's meant to give a peek into what should drive him as a person overall. If it helps, you can think of it as a mash-up of a personality/history section.

Otherwise it looks like a good start to me! If accepted I'll have a little chat with you about how his danger sense works and what sort of goods overall Abd may be carrying.
