OVERVIEW

This is based on another RPG by Blood Reaper (Leveling System, Multiple Choice) which I love, and feel enhances the play.

This will be a 40K RP, where you start as a low ranking member of your race/chapter, and rise through the ranks (Levels) by RPing.

This is a completely open RPG, meaning you can, if you choose, become a heretic guardsmen if the chance permits it. You get the point, Loyal Marine->Chaos Marine, Guardsmen-> Heretic, etc...


STORY

Operation Corpiaan:

Corpiaan: A planet in a far away galaxy, that was, until now, unknown by the Imperium. However, scouting missions have resulted in confirmed high amounts of natural resources, and plenty of space for a city. However, they have also confirmed many local Ork warring tribes, remote Daemon worshiping shrines, bandit tribes, and a “Sleeping” Tyranid Hive. The Imperium, has decided to ignore the risks to reap the benefits, and has sent an Imperial Colonization force. The fleet, consisting of artisans, soldiers, politicians, and civilians, totaled in at about 4 million people. With reinforcements ready to be called in from many chapters and companies, the Emperor felt confident of his decision. However, he was wrong, upon seeing the fleet arrive and settle, the Ork tribes united against the Imperium making an enormous WAAAGH!. Meanwhile worshippers began to scheme a plan to attract chaos to the planet that would soon be at all out war. The colony was forced to step up defenses due to large amounts of raids from bandits, along with Orks, eventually, reinforcements were called and are pending now. The Tyranid Guants begin to tunnel through the earth, and feed their Tyrant, while the Tau Empire set their eyes on the new found planet for expansion. Who will win the war for Corpiaan? You decide!

D.) Attempt to fall back to a better firing position, this should give us a chance to fight...if we make it..

You choose your answer, and I will post the consequence, sometimes it will pay off other times it will end up badly. This also allows you to join different factions, groups, or even adopt others in your group.


RULES:

-Maximum of one character, if you need two tell me with a good reason you need another. (NO Squads)

-Must be semi active, I.E- Not once a week, as you will fall way behind.

A. Scurry towards the right one.
B. Climb to the left one.

___________________________________________________________________________________________


Sorry about the similarity in missions, but it determines your story!

Grabbing both the bolt pistol and the sword, Kaltos bursts into song.
"It's that time again, time to make my grandfather proud. Time to spread the plague, time to raise the dead, time to weave a burial shroud!"
Backup- "Spread the pox! Spread the pox of Nurgle!"
Kaltos- "The fools on the surface hav'nt a clue of what we're going to do! With bile, blood, and booooooonnnnee! We'll make a wasteland out of your hoooooooommmmeeee!
Backup- "Spread the pox! Spread the pox of Nurgle!"

A

Mordoskul "Kaltos" (1)-

Kaltos strides down the hall continuing the ballad.

As he steps foot in the drop ship the stink of Nurgle surrounds him.

As his fellow cultists join him they take their seats, as they launch the blackness of space passes by them.

Upon reaching the atmosphere, turbulence occurs, and Imperial Flak fire cuts down multiple crafts, including one of the planes wings. Now only running on one engine, the plane tilts, and begins it's plummet towards the ground.

Kaltos and his backup brace for landing by breaking down in an, "It's going down, it's going down" Song.

The back door of the plane opens, and several cultists jump out hoping that Father Nurgle will save them.

Do you..

A: Jump out of the craft with the others.
B: Brace for impact.

"Grandpapa Nurgle, use my fellow sickies to break the faaalllll!

A

I shall move to the one on the left, while pushing the gaunt "steve" who i strongly dislike >

Mordoskul "Kaltos" (1)-

You grab on to one of your fellow cultists, then another, and another, while in the air you make a pile of the screaming "Babies".

As the ground comes closer you hit it and black out.

(Several Hours later) You open you open your eye a bit seeing Imperial Militiamen poking at the bodies, looking for loot.

Do you...

A. Rise up, draw your blade and bolt pistol, then attempt to shoot and hack your way through.

B. Try to wait it out, hoping they already checked your body.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other gaunt you pushed glares back at you, and lets out a screech with its claws up.

As it starts to move towards you do you...

A. Try and fight the guant, even though he is a bit bigger than you.

B. Jump over it, and sprint for the exit.

Kaltos reaches for his weapons and breaks into song-
I am not dead yet
I can dance and I can sing
I am not dead yet
I can do the Highland Fling

I am not dead yet
No need to go to bed
No need to call the doctor
Cause I'm not yet dead.

Mordoskul "Kaltos" (1)-

The Guardsmen stare at him puzzled, then break out in laughter.

Do you..

A. Go on singing, and stay.

B. Begin to swing your way through the squad, still singing.

Continueing his joyous song, Kaltos launches himself into combat.

Mordoskul "Kaltos" (1)-

Kaltos begins to massacre the guardsmen, their fighting was useless.

As one starts to run, you shoot him in the Achilles, making his limb fly off.

As you approach him, singing in a lighter childish voice, he begins to crawl back.

Do you...

(Open ended, make your decision as you wish.)

I hop for the exit!
Edit: Spelling error

necronsftw "Gaunty" (1)-

As you jump over it, it scratches your leg, and you sprint off.

Peaking your head out the tunnel, you smell flesh, and have the sense to devour.

You run through the wood for several hours until reaching an Imperial camp, numbering over 20.

Do you..

A. Attack!

B. Keep running.

C. Wait.

ill wait cause gaunty is stupid

necronsftw "Gaunty" (1)-

As you was the sun begins to rise and a patrol comes out scouting, the see you. Before they shout do you...

A. Run

B. Attack!

im running for the hills

Kaltos sings to the guardsman-
I know how you feel, cowerin' an' fearing death
I've been there, once too
But, then, Grandfather Nurgle spoke to me
Tellin' my secrets 'n' stuff
How not to die, and how to spread his giiiffttss!
Soooo, join up with Nurgle's Arrrrmmmmyyy!!!!
We'll remake you soul and body!
You'll never fear death again, my lad
Join up with Nurgle's Army!
