hello. well then let's see if we can set up another RPG then eh?
I shall be the DM and the captain of the ship. (to keep things simple)
the idea: so you lot will be space pirates serving on board the space vessel"Scandal". The Scandal is a small vessel with room for 20 people and a has a modest cargo bay. It has a Turbolaser on the front and 2 missile pods on each sides. there are also 2 sponson autocannons on each side. you can have up to 1 speciality.
I will only start this Rp when we have someone with the speciality mechanic.
The pirates hideout planet is Sreghast.
oh one more thing. the equipment you choose must be suitable for boarding actions. for example no Plasme guns. when a plasma bolt breaches the hul, you will be dead; as well as the rest who was with you. Flamers for example are a good choice. the rest of the available weapons are lasguns, shotguns, autoguns..... you name it
finally: the application form.( tell me if I have forgotten anything.)
Name Age speciality equipment height Biography appearence: a picture of a suitable mini or some artwork would do otherwise just describe what he looks like
Here comes my character. name: ??? Tybalt Age 36 Rank: Captain equipment: He carries : Scimitar, Bolt pistol, Auspex. Stored in his footlocker: Shotgun stollen from an astartes scout and an Infernopistol height: 1.85 meter Biography: Not much is know of Captain Thule, Not eve his first name. Not to anyone except himself. No one knows why he became a pirate. Some say because of wanderlust, the captain being an adventurer. others say he is in it for the loot. And some say he is an outlaw fleeing from the inquisition. That would explain while he has an Inferno pistol stored in his footlocker. Captain thule always leads from the front when boarding other vessels. He has a lot of contacts on different planets. He hails from the planet Khazak where he was outlawed for reasons unknown to any but himself.The man lives like a Spartan. He despises anybody who lives in luxury. Beware, because of his hate towards luxuirious well fed citizens, he is no Robin Hood. Appearence: I will look for somethinh suitable.
yeah I know it needs a navigator. But that will be another non playable character. Just a person in the background. I f you would help me with the ship, we could get it more disorganized. About his name, I know. I just played dark crusade with blood ravens. The name stuck. I will try to find a better 1 before this RPG starts. What do think of 'The Marley' for the ship's name?
as for the [dis]organisation of the ship, you shouldn't really have "gunnery sergeants" and "mechanics" - just a bunch of pirates with various specialities, I mean they don't care for ranks now, do they? Just re-write the OP to say that you would like to have atleast one mechanic before we start if you so wish.
Will do my character later, got MOAR homework.. -glares at geography teacher-
I'm considering doing a rogue Tech-Priest character.. but I dunno . Then again, I might do a female character. Or an excommunicate traitoris Inquisitor.
I dunno.
Also, why are plasma weapons so bad? If a ship cannot take a man-portable plasma weapon blast to the hull then it's not gonna last long in space now, is it?
That's like saying to a chaos space marine "don't bring your plasma pistol; you'll damage the terminator armour that your enemies will be wearing, and if you do that, there'll have been no point to the mission."
Darkvoidof40k wrote:Cool, but FYI it is spelled 'scandel'. ..
Yeah I now. But Skandal looks better
Meh I don't know, a plasma bolt could burn through the hull though. If you fire a plasma at a terminator armour, you clearly intend to kill him. But you just don't shoot plasma in a space ship because you want the cargo or even the ship. Intact. soooooo.......
Just think about what you want to do with your character.
Now we need some more people joining up. A pirate ship is wortless with only 2 pirates

Allow me to introduce you to the world of NPCs.
No offense, Skandal doesn't look cooler (IMO), it just makes you look like you can't spell.
^ I know. But I took 20 to have space for any unsuspected hitchhikers. maybe a hostage? who knows. of course they will have to be some NPCs in the RP, but I'll only take 5 or so. The ship doesn't need a full crew.

Scorpion, your character.. meh. I know this isn't my RP, but I'll just say what I'd say if it was, if only to give some help to Scrazz.
A space marine who has served for three years will still be a scout, and most definitely won't be techmarine. However, all space marines, while not techpriests, are quite handy when it comes to their weapons and armour.
5.6ft? For a space marine? They're 7ft at the smallest and 10ft or more at their tallest!
While space marines do sometimes go rogue, they don't do it because they're bored or tired of being sent into near death situations - that's their whole purpose! They do however, feel as if they could do more with their lives, and go rogue (and sometimes traitor!) because of this.
Anyway, most of the equipment you've listed for him Scorp would probably already be on the ship, and a space marine wouldn't just have it.
He wouldn't have a lasgun, nor a stealth generator, because the imperium doesn't really have anything like that.
As for that armour? No description of what its capabilities are, so that's useless. Plus, a space marine wouldn't use a black market. A rogue space marine wouldn't either - he'd just take. IMO, just drop it. He'll stand out enough as it is, what with him being almost twice as tall as most other people.
So, I propose you edit your character to look like this:
Name: Trait
Age: 26
Skills: Stealth, stronger and tougher than most humanoid life in the universe, and he is as skilled with a gun or blade as any Imperial guard veteran.
Background:
Originally a space marine scout marine of the Crimson Fists chapter, Trait quickly realized the potential he had - he had been gifted with a super human body, and better armour than most men in the imperium have. During a campaign, he took flight during a battle, and signed up to a pirate ship crew, and was presumed dead.
Hope I've helped, everyone.
And remember - if your grammar and spelling aren't too good, check your posts in microsoft word first!
It is possible for him to have genetic quirks witch made him learn faster so was made a tech marine. The stealth generator could be Xenos. he could also have shown great combat prowess so was promoted quicker. He could also have picked most of his Equipment up along the way after being exiled or lost in battle. This is another idea Scorp from a novice of Dakka and i defer to longer serving members so if this sounds stupid tell me but i do agree with darkvoid about traits height though.
fallen_wolfborn wrote:I never said he became a blood claw he was trained as one but never received the implants.
He can train, and in the process, he will either die or become a space wolf. That is the way it is with the space pups.
Ninja, what you say is all true. Mostly. But he wouldn't be allowed to use xenos technology (blasphemy!) and the "genetic quirks" you mentioned are also known as intelligence .
He may have had great combat prowess, but that is why he was a candidate to be a space marine - he still needs training, and scouts don't become full battle-brothers in three years. Ever. And he wouldn't be a tech marine after being with the chapter for three years - he has to do scout training (takes 5-30 odd years I think), then he would have to complete his cycle in Devestator and Assault squads. After that, he'd probably join a tactical squad, or stay in/go back to either a devestator or an assault squad. After that, he might start to become interested in the ways of the mechanicus. Three years just isn't enough time.
Agh, not having a go at anyone - though it seems to sound like it - I'm just doing what I think is best for this RP.
Ha you dead too me earthling me hunt you down and make you swallow an entire TRYGON. suddenly a Trygon appears in darkvoids mouth he mutters something about it taking a tactical geniu- CREEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
oke so,..................... I am not hiring anymore Space marines. Just for the sake of this RP. Can't you just be normal people? with Normal I mean blood thirsty pirates?

appearence: I'll get it later..
Ah, story wars.. me 'n' some others made one last for roughly 20 pages.. then it died. Then we resurrected it again for another 13-15 odd pages. Good times, good times.
Although, I do believe everyone else in this RP tends to write in really short paragraphs usually.. Guess I'm gonna stick out.

hope these are fine for all of you. I want to make more NPC's but it would be more fun if we had another 2 or so players. do some of you know someone who wants to join?
Generally it's the players' idea's that decide who they are.
Also, I'm considering starting anotherRP. Yeah, I know what you're thinking; "dude, you're already in too many - noone's gonna join this one and you'll be too busy to keep it alive."
Eh, maybe, maybe not. That's the chance you take with RPs.
If I do it, it'll be full of aliens, failtastic Colonial Marines and a couple of Predators. If you don't know what I'm on about; shame on you!
Here's a little taster of alien slaughter so you can picture it if I end up writing it - WARNING - not for the feint hearted! (no kidding, it's bloody, violent and very messy. [Sit back and enjoy!])
hmmm Aliens vs prdeators ey?! sweet. I will join that one . But 1st lets get this one started. I reckin we have enough players ready.
Day cycle 1
Captain Tybalt was gazing into the void. they were already well known around the system of Gothen. A system with 2 planets, each sharing 1 moon and 1 sun. The people saw them as a menace. They hadn't done anything around this system yet, but rumors tend to spread easily between 2 star systems. Tybalt was in the cockpit with Liam,Mickey(repairing a broken Item), and Mar the Navigator, and Cyr, the pilot. They weren't gonna make a warp jump in a while. They had to make some profits here 1st. The scandal was hunting a small freighter. The freighter was still larger than The Scandal, but they had a small crew. 'The Twilight', as the freighter was called, just left from Gothen Prime with a very valuable cargo. Adamantium. A larger hauler brought a big boulder to Gothen prime. there, it would be cut up into sizeable pieces and shipped to various Forgeworlds to be sold to the Mechnicum. They were worth a lot imperial credits. The Twilight headed for Gothen Secundus, a Forgeworld. If the crew of the scandal was going to get that adamantium, they better act soon.
The plan was to take control of the Twilight, and then to bring It to another forgeworld in another system, They would sell it to the mechanicum, but not here. Too dangerous.
Tybalt stood still. Just watching the Twilight. Mar, the Navigator, spoke up. "We need that adamantium, Capt'n." "The ship could do with some maintenance, and we are short on creds." Mickey joined in.
Tybalt knew he could not risk destroying vital parts of the Twilight. It had to be ready to travel through the warp to another system. He also knew the twilight had weak void shields. Easy to destroy.
Tybalt spoke, for the 1st time in half an hour since that start of the pursuit. " Fire 1 missile salvo, destroy their shields. tell the men to get ready. Man boarding stations.
The glass ninja wrote:Scrazza can i lead a boarding team i would like to inforce my iron will on some mangy pirates.
I suppose that depends on whether you can be bothered to write out 15 long paragraphs, describing in great detail with good punctuation and grammar, what happens.
Glass Ninja, for the record, WE are the pirates. and the objective is to capture the ship with MOST of the crew and its navigator AND its pilot alive! We'll leave some men onboard the Twilight for guarding them. You can have the lead on that. But I will lead the initial boarding, because I hate to hang back and miss the action.
(BTW Now its your turn to RP something before we board.)
(Yes sir) "Form up around the captain! prepare to board " shouted cal checking his hellguns power pack and flamers fuel canister and revving up his chain bayonet. "We capture this and its drinks on me next time we go planetside".
"The profits we make from this will be more than enough for these mangy dogs captain but ill get you the best Amnsec in the bar".(AWAITING YOUR ORDER SCRAZZA )
""I have first call on weapons systems. Captain, will you requiring medic this time?"
Marik was gazing hungrily at the ship they were hunting. The wolf in him wanted out.
He snarled at the weak target.
Liam strolled onto the bridge. He glanced about, and saw the few crew members on the bridge muttering to each other. The ship suddenly rattled, almost knocking Liam over. A small pattering of fire was coming from their target.
"Mr. Marik, reply would you?"
"I hear you on that!" Marik replied, and gleefully pressed buttons and programmed targeting information. There was vibrations through the hull, a low rumbling, and then a bright flash as the ships' massive laser cannons fired - a blue line of energy passed through their views, and as they looked on through the bridge view screen, their target ship was struck, and there was a massive explosion on the rear - the Twilight's engine core detonating.
Liam smiled to himself. "Almost too easy." He walked over to the wall and pressed a button on the intercom. "Load up, pirates, it's payday!" he called eagerly, his voice audiable throughout the ship. He loaded a cartridge into his autogun, and walked off the bridge, grinning wildy.
Tybalt saw the wanton destruction in front of his eyes. He was furious about it. How were they going to fly the ship through the warp to another system now? How would it fly trough the void now?!
Then Liam walked in, just in time for the captains anger.
"Ah Liam, explain me.....How are we going to fly this ship now that it's engines are dead? Who ordered to fire the lances? I ordered to fire the missiles, not the lances, Just to detroy their engines.
It was quite for about a half a minute.
"Just a small problem. Mickey can repair the core so that we'll just make it to Gothen Secundus's Mechanicum space port. It would be more difficult though. Whole Gothen secundus saw that explosion. "
And after yet another half a minute passed, Tybalt finally gave the order.
"Man boarding pods. Cal, you will lead 5 men including Mickey and take the engine deck. I will take the bridge with Liam and 5 others. Marik, you stay behind with some men to guard the Scandal.
so...any ideas of how shall i enter my character into this?
i cant just get up & go on a killing spree. can i just be sleeping & my character gets awoken during an attack?

1) Yes, you can do the former.
2) Yes, you can do the latter.
For those who don't give a damn about my fancy words, you can do both.
OOC: Yeah, this RP is meant to sleep. I'm just gonna post some stuff quickly. Hope you don't mind.
Also, a small pirate vessel wouldn't have a boarding torpedo, pod or whatever. What they probably would have, however, is a shuttle or two. Here's my idea for the shuttle(s):
Hmm whats this now? Is this Back story for this RP or an entirely different one with some relevance?
Anyways I'll read through it a lil later today. Should I get started on my Character or wait for the Official welcome?

Edit: and Welcome to The Demise of Salem
Thank you. "Officially" I'm in about.. *thinks*.. 7ish RP's atm? (Then again, two of them are pretty much long gone and dead.. never officially closed.. oh well!)
The other thread at the end of the linky is completely unrelated to this thread, or any other.
Name:Ellis Kross
Age:28
Specialty: A Smuggler Prodigy, Ellis is a Jack-of-all-Trades in the realm of Scoundrels. He is a renowned Knife Fighter and Orkish Tech Fanatic. - any ideas for a Specialty? all the Obvious ones are taken
Equipment: AutoPistle, Combat Knife, Flak Vest, Switch Blade, Shoota - Ellis has been know to use Improvised weapons, namely The Molotov Cocktail and a variety of booby-traps ranging from simple dead-falls to sensor activated explosives.
Height: 5' 11'
Bio: Ellis was raised on an industrial world, and from an early age worked at one of the many port cities loading cargo onto freighters. Never being truly satisfied with life, he signed on with a prospecting crew at age eighteen, leaving his home planet for the first time. When it turned out that the crews information was faulty, they disbanded. Disgruntled but not discouraged, He set out in search of work, indiscriminately taking jobs as they came. Buying passage on passenger shuttles and freighters alike, He Roaming the sector. He learned to defend himself after the first few muggings and bar fights, becoming especially skilled with a Blade over the years. After being outlawed for smuggling a large Cache of Zeno weapons, Ellis jumped at the opportunity to work with a crew as organized as that of The Scandal.
ooc: is the RP on hold?, i'll just post a short story of my character getting onto the bridge
trait woke up to the sound of guns blazing outside "what in blazes...." trait groaned as he woke he went out of his room & into the bridge "captain whats going on?"
I am a bit tired right now, so i am not gonna RP tight now, but.....
welcome Anthrax
-nod- Totally understand you there.. and I have to get up at 6 and be on the road with ma dad (for another 7 or more hours) to go on holiday. That's me; late nights, early mornings and complaints the whole way through!
Tybalt waited until all the boarders were aboard their shuttles. Then Tybalt would embark his as the last one, joining his boarding party. He saw everyone was secure, strapped securely in their seats. Then, TYbalt would secure himself in his seat. Whne he made himself comfortable, he voxed an order to the bridge.
"Release boarding shuttles."
He also voxed to each of the boarders, on his and on the other shuttles.
"Give 'em hell."
after that last command, the shuttles were violently fired off into the void, to their respective targets.
Liam flicked the safeties on his weapons off, and made sure they were loaded and ready. The pilot, a man named Dan that he'd never bothered to socialize with, called over his shoulder, "Docking in three..two..one.." There was a loud thud as the airlocks sealed together. "Docked."
The captain removed his pistol from its holster on his belt, and rammed a clip into it. The weapon was a thing of awe, firing mass-reactive, high-yield bolt rounds - precious ammo that was notoriously hard to come by. Indeed, comparatively few people had ever even heard of bolt weapons. In the years that Liam had known the captain, he'd noticed that Tybalt preferred to conserve the precious ammunition whenever possible, letting his subordinates do the shooting.
"Alright men, this isn't going to be easy - so watch yourselves out there. This cargo is damn important to the Imperium, so I don't doubt it'll be heavily defended. While I wouldn't usually risk you all in a raid as dangerous as this, the reward we'll get if we pull this off will be well worth it. That is why you are risking your lives today."
"Sir?" one of the pirates piped up.
"What, Craigson?" The captain replied.
"Can we go frag some of them already?"
"We'll go when the captain says we'll go." Liam retorted, although he was as eager as any of the others to get aboard the Twilight and get it over and done with. He'd been on raids like this before - the last one that even came close to as big a gamble as this one had gone disastrously wrong three years ago; eleven men had died and the captain himself had been wounded.
Craigson glared at Liam in annoyance, but said nothing more.
AnthraXAvenger wrote:OOC: Alright, quick question, am I already on the crew? or should I wait till you get port-side and sign on at a shady bar or something?
BIC:
Liam glanced about the three other men that'd be accompanying him and the captain - Dan, Ellis and Craigson.
"Lock 'n' load." He said, grinning wildy at the thought of the haul they were so close to getting.
IC: Eliis clapped a mag into his Auto Pistol, holstered in and hoisted up his Shoota. Lifting the cumbersome weapon up he expelled the magazine, tapped it a few times on the frame of the seat and replaced it. Fiddled with the slide of the weapon, trying to chamber a round, he stood up and took position to the left of the shuttle door. Waiting for the doors to slide out and the command to attack. He glanced over his shoulder at Captain Tybalt, the weapon finally cooperating, "Hay Captain we have any of those Photon Grenades left, from that weapons haul a few months back?" Ellis was not in a hurry to breach yet another door and get shot, yet again, before the real fun started. The Captains stern glare was answer enough. Ellis thought to himself, just as the Doors began to open, "After this job, I'm buying some Ga-Ram body armor."
"Doors are open. Move! You all know your objectives, get moving!"
Tybalt unholstered his Bolt Pistol and drew his scimitar, waving in the direction of the enemy beyond the blast doors. With a wheezing sound the doors glided open, and they were greeted by some small arms fire. In front of him he saw Badner dropping like a sack.
"gak." was the only word he could think of.
He ordered the men towards the door and take cover there. His men complied and took up some return fire.
"Come on, We had worse, kill them!"
He put emphasis to his order by shooting one of them through the head, wich resulted to a bloody mist. The enemy Wore Black leather suits, Green Berets and were armored with Standard isue shotguns. One of them, probably the overseer, was holding his earbud to vox for reinforcements or to warn others the pirates were almost on board. He shot him in the belly, resulting in another red mist. 2 down, 8 to go.
Tybalt pressed his own earbud. "Cal, how are things going at the engine room?"
Liam isn't in the engine room, his with the captain! Just following your own orders.. plus, how could he hear the captains speech in the other shuttle?
EDIT: Also, in my last post, I wrote the names of all the men in the shuttle with Liam and the Captain.. so the man called "Badner" perhaps should be renamed to stop an inconsistency.
@Dark: oh yeah right, I scrambled some things up. I thought you were in the other shuttle attacking the engine room but that was Cal, Not Liam. Oke so I am editing it to Cal. and I meant " I will take 5 men and Liam" so thats 5 men, Liam, and captain tybalt. that makes 7 of us. Not 5
So with us are Dan, Ellis, Badner, Craigson and another one called...let's see... Dereck. Badner is down so now we are with 6. Savvie?

There is a point. But when school starts again, My parents will get annoying again, and wont let my use the computer during the week. Well I'll try visiting dakka once in a while, but.....
"I don't really want to talk about that now cap'n" was Cal's reply.
"Dan, Craigson, Dereck, cover us. Liam and Ellis, you follow me. see there? There is a stairway which leads to an elevated position we go over there so we can fire down at them. Go"
Tybalt sprinted out of the belly of the "Screaming Devil", his favorite shuttle, assuming that Liam and Ellis were close behind.
he saw 1 green beret wearing security guard dropping, a solid round hitting his shoulder. the rest of the security detail went to cover for a few precious moments.
That was all Tybalt needed to reach the stairways. but out of nowhere 3 crew members stood infront of them blocking his way. looking at their weapons, they were not Security. They all hold iron bars. 1 of them lunged at the captain his iron bar swinging towards Tybalts head. He deflected the blow with his scimitar. he saw that Liam and Ellis were also engaged in hand to hand.
His opponent brought the metal pole down, but Liam stepped out of the way and sending his rifle's butt into his assailants face, sending the man sprawling. Liam finished him off with a few shots from his autogun. Looking round, he saw Ellis and the Captain had dispatched their opponents as well - Tybalt had just decapitated his defeated foe.
"Mercs?" Liam called, before a series of laser bolts impacted around him, and looking up, he saw a person firing from up on an elevated walkway. Taking aim, he returned fire.
"Skitarri. It is common when the mechanicum expects precious cargo to arrive. They'd send a squad of skitarri to reinforce the current amount of security. "
Tybalt saw Liam dropping the sniper up the walkway. A clean shot through the head.
"Now move up the stairs, we need to break this stalemate. Auspex reading say the bridge is just behind those doors."
Tybalt pointed his scimitar towards the massive doors while he moved up the stairs, again assuming that Ellis and Liam were close by.
" We are in a good position now. watch there, from where we are they have no cover. Open fire."
Liam and Ellis nodded and together with the captain, they took up fire. 3 of them green berets went down. 1 was shredded by shoota fire, another was thudded by an autogun, and 1 of the had his midsection exploding from an explosive bolt. 4 of them were left. they clearly had no experience at all. all 4 remaing guards got up qnd headed for the bridges doors, hoping they would open the massive doors and let thme in. They were horribly wrong. Tbalt and his assault team and The fire team left in the belly of the "screaming Devil" all fired a single round at the panicking security guards, ending their lives.
Scrazza, time for an event I think. (Get everyone to PM you if you feel it necessary, or just write something to move it along. It IS your job to keep it alive y'know.. )
Noone brought explosives lol. We all just have small-arms firepower. I'll write something up in a couple of days.. but in all seriousness, I'm not sure I hold out much hope for this RP..
OOC:Finals are over and I got B's across the board, w00t!
so ah... looks like I should join badlands then....

IC: Between laying down bursts of fire Ellis looked around from the catwalk. Sent to search the cargo-hold for anything that might get the bridge doors open, we was meeting minimal resistance. It seemed most of the fighting was taking place near the bridge and Engine room. Taking a few pop shots at what appeared to be unarmed mechanics running for cover Ellis made his way down the catwalk. Scanning the cargo-hold one last time before returning to the front he noticed something behind some crates stacked in a corner.
"Is that what a think it is?!"
Ellis proceeded to run down a flight of stairs to the ground floor and book it up to the machine. Half covered by a large canvas tarp was a Sentinel outfitted with a Powerlifter. Ripping the tarp off, Ellis hopped in the thing and fired it up. towing with the controls for a moment to re-familiarize himself before heading down the corridor towards the bridge.
OOC: is this RP still going? is the ship destroyed? i got two scenarios for if the rp is ended or not
IC: Out of the twilight's explosion a small escape pod could been seen escaping the blast, trait the rogue marine who had just woken up from a good nights sleep "bloody hell. what a day first i got awoken from all that racket & now the ship is gone with most of the crew." Trait steered his pod to the planet nearby which luckily happened to be a hive of pirates & scum where he could find a new crew to join.

IC: Trait made his way to the bridge with a hot coffee in hand occasionally sipping it "hmmm where is all the crew gone?" Trait thought to himself as he leaned on a console on the bridge he heard the sounds of gunfire coming on the other ship & grabbed his shotgun & made his way to the enemy ship & slid intro cover behind some debris where he was fended off the hostiles gunning for him
of course they will have to be some
