I'm looking at managing a Roleplay thread that focuses on the exploits of the Henchmen under the instrution of Inquisitor Remus, investigating and carrying out their goals, but with a lot more leeway since in this case the Inquisitor won't be in regular contact with the team(s).
Being Henchmen, there's obviously a lot to work with. You can be any character that would be found in the 40k universe, from Death Cult assassins, Warrior henchmen, Acolytes of any persuasion to even an Astartes (obviously with some secret reason behind their attachment to the team and shrouded departure from their chapter). You don't even have to actually be part of the team (such as a member of the local PDF or Arbites). There's a lot you can do and the mission parameters also leave a lot to play with.
I'll be posting more info on the background as interest grows, but for now it should be suffice to say that the mission takes place on an unstable Imperial world.
If you're sure about posting then set up the details of your character as follows:
Name of Character: Age: Rough estimate or correct age in terran years.
Affiliation:IG/Arbites/Ecclessiarchy/Tribal Warrior/Inquisitorial Stormtrooper etc
Position/Rank: Lieutenant/Missionary/Guardsman
Particular skills: Close quarters expert/sharpshooting/linguist or anything else. You don't have to list anything here if you don't want to.
Background: History up until induction into the retinue.
Induction: How you came to the attention of Inquisitor Remus. Don't mention any of your missions since then, this stuff is classified of course, though you can state how long you've been a part of the retinue.
Sure I'll give it a shot, I dropped out of the last one because it ended up being pre-heresy and me having no idea about it. Think I'll try something slightly different as well as I generally go Ad mech.
Name of Character: Zeta (Full name : Z18231a, though most don't know or bother with it; actual name is lost) Age: Unknown Affiliation: Officio Assassinorum Position/Rank: Callidus Particular skills: Close quarters expert, linguist, deception, stealth, poisons and persuasion Background: History either classified or unknown, Z18231a does not possess much memory and is even unsure if they remember their true form. Induction: Z18231a was recruited due to their loyalty (as they remember nothing but service to the Emperor) and the skill which they had displayed in previous missions. One notable occasion involved a Tau Cadre brought to panic when a messenger which seemed from the Water Caste drove a blade into a Ethereal's head before vanishing in the chaos caused.
Name of Character: Sergeant. Slavro
Age: 27.
Affiliation: IG Position/Rank: Sergeant
Particular skills:
Background: 101st Stormtrooper regiment. Sergeant of Squad 'Helborne'
Induction: Soul survivor of a necron incursion, Slavro was reassigned too Inquisitor Remus.
(Life's going a bit crazy at the moment, but I guess I'll bite. And, just to be silly, I have dibs on the Astartes . Also, what Ordo is Remus a member of? Malleus I would suspect.)
Name of Character: Brother Aygapus Age: ~300 Terran years Affiliation: Minotaurs Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes Position/Rank: Former terminator assault Veteran, 1st Company Particular skills: Gifted strategist (but, as always for the Assault Terminators, prefers to break stuff), fanatical hatred of Orks even for a Minotaur. Background: Homeworld unknown, but records on board the Daedolus Krata indicate thet Aygapus was recruited from a planet on the borders of T'au space. A member of 4th company for most of his life, Aygapus was inducted into the First Company shortly before the Badab war. He was present during the last series of boarding attacks against the Lamentors chapter, where he was often called upon to offer tactical advice to other 1st company squads. However, Aygapus finds it almost impossible to trust anyone outside of his chapter, which has in the past created problems when working alongside other Imperial forces. Induction: Exiled from his chapter by lord Moloc for 150 years following some unrecorded transgression during the Badab War, Aygapus was originally going to be transferred into the Deathwatch. However, he came to the attention of Inquisitor Remus whilst the crusier transporting him and his new squad was attacked by Ork 'Freebooterz', leaving Aygapus the sole survivor due to his sheer brutality. At the request of the Inquisitor Moloc changed the sentence to induction into Remus' retinue, although as penance he was stripped of his equipment and in essence demoted back to a scout. However, his skills remain and he is still ready to be put into action when a mission needs a little extra brutality-which it often does. Exactly what he did Aygapus never speaks of, and any who require usually do not live to regret it.
Name of Character: Mikal Holtz
Age: 200
Affiliation: Adeptus Mechanicus
Position/Rank: Iron Priest
Particular skills: Particularly human acting for a tech priest, intuitive, improvising, the uncanny ability (for a tech priest) to think outside the box and outside protocol.
Background: Mikal was truly gifted with insight from the Omnissiah as a child and was therefore taken from his home planet and trained on Mars for many decades in the arcane arts of machinery. He served the Imperial cause wherever he was called but his often unorthodox methods and seeming disdain for the more advanced mechanical replacements (he has quite a few, but not nearly as many as many others) were always frowned upon by the Magi. Given this, he was never able to rise very far through the ranks of the Mechanicus, he was content, however, to serve as the head Engineseer for the Imperial 45th Cadian Shock Troopers
Induction: During one of the many Chaos incursions on the planet Cadia, the Inquisitor Remus was attached to the Cadian 45th, and while there was intrigued by the unusual, yet successful ways the guardsmen of the regiment were carrying the fight. He was even more surprised to hear that these innovative ideas were coming from a Techpriest. At the request of Inquisitor Remus at the end of the campaign, the Techpriest and his retinue were assigned to the Inquisition under Inquisitor Remus
Posting my interest as well. Got two possible characters in mind. Though waiting on OP and other posters before deciding who to go for. Don't want too many of the same kind, hehe
Nice, already potential for great character development. Two things:
1) Little Lord: As an Astartes working outside of his chapter, Aygapus likely won't have access to his Terminator armour and (if he's been banished) he might not even be in possession of power armour. For such a small group an unarmoured Astartes is formidable, a fully equipped astartes approaches Jesus-like capability. I thought I should warn that anyone who catches the Astartes role will have restrictions on this, just to keep things balanced. Just as an alpha/beta-level psyker isn't going to fit in, neither is a fully armoured Assault Terminator.
2) WARORK: If this innovative Engineseer tends to shun the more radical mechanical alterations known to be favoured by other members of the Mechanicus, how has he managed to live to the age of 400? By human standards, even with rejuvenant drugs, that's positively ancient.
BTW, one and all I love the Induction and Background stories you guys have done so far.

Orly? I would think any Astartes in the retinue of an Inquisitor would be more than well equipped, given the resources at the disposal of the Inquisition... -shrugs-

Because, like a nub, I was thinking about the age of your standard tech priest before I came up with his background. I will edit accordingly.
Also I would like to point out that the character in question does still have very many alterations when compared to your average human, hence your longer than average lifespan, just not as many as the terminator esque magos that are nearly all machine. Simply put, he is just a little more man than machine and thats what makes him peculiar when it comes to techpriests.

It's more to do with balance, while an Inquisitor may actively search for amazingly powerful psykers to add to his band, throwing in someone that can snap a Dreadnought in half with the flick of a wrist is over the top. To put it bluntly, the Assualt Terminator would come across as a bit of a jedi when compared to your average retinue. As cool as a storm trooper is, he's going to pale in comparison to a Termie. The goal here should be vairety, not power levels.
If there's still a spot left for a SM then I humbly present.... (if not then pop me an IM and I'll amend)
Name of Character: Ronan
Age: 311
Affiliation: Space Marine
Position/Rank: Battle Brother from the 3rd Company
Particular skills: Standard Space marine training
Background: Ronan has led a typical life of Space Marine and earnt many honours in his years of Service to the Elite Guard under the command of Chapter Master Warrender. Having performed beyond expections in several large scale engagements, Scout sergeant Ronan was quickly promoted to a fully fledged Battle Brother and entered the ranks of the 2nd Devastor squad "Pure Shots" within the 3rd Company. He has shown his skills over his fellows several times over in the field with his calculating and methodical approach to warfare
Induction: As to the reason as to why a Chapter Master would so willingly send one of his Battle Brothers to aid Remus is still a mystery, perhaps Remus has unknowingly done something that has benefited the Elite Guard and thus the Chapter Master has felt the need to repay the dept, or perhaps Chapter Master Warrender knows something more about this mission than even the Inquisition and felt the need to send one of his finest into the fray to ensure success. Whatever the reason none can deny the look of bewilderment on remus's face as only 6weeks from the date of his original request for aid should a fully kitted Battle Brother arrive and pledge his aid to the Inquisitor. One should note however, he did not pledge his loyalty ...
To prevent any misconception of loyalty or links between the Elite Guard Chapter and Remus, it was agreed that Ronan would discard his Armour and heraldry so that the origins of this Battle Brother would remain a secret from all but Inquisitor Remus. Having secured his sacred armour in the Vaults of Vaq'uir, Battle Brother Ronan donned an armoured uniform befitting that of a Space Marine Initiate. The protection it provided was a moot point compared to the thick under skin armour that all Marines were implanted with and thus it provided merely a cosemetic appearence.
At a distance, many a man would not recognise the Astartes without his armour, for those unfortunate to be close enough would see the many black connector ports and tubes that criss crossed his visible flesh and betrayed his obvious superhuman like strength and agility. His red ocular implant and and intergrated ear piece the only visible clue to the extensive bionics that this astartes posses and aquired during his training as an Intiate. Even without his Carparace Armour, Ronan would no doubt be a forrmidable foe to his emenies and he relished the chance to prove himself once again while being at a disadvantage.
Actual paint scheme of my Elite Guard Chapter
EDIT: Just noticed the dibs on the SM by LLF, Could be some interesting conflicts between two SM's, or want me to do a re-write? In relation to the post about him being overly powerful, could you possibly work in a huge charactor flaw? Like if he was a BA he suffered from the Blood Rage or he refuses to follow orders etc. Merely idea's of what I mean. I like his background though, very mysterious
From how long it took for me to get back to this thread you can see that I'm not in a position to be able to be a reliable RP-man right now. This makes me a sad panda. Sorry EF.
Okay, I am worried about having two SM. It was intended to be an individual stand alone spot. However, I also didn't really expect this much interest. Personally I'd prefer only one Space Marine, but I must admit the (perhaps friendly, perhaps not) rivaly and interaction of two Marines from seperate chapters very much intrigues me. If perhaps another poster or two joins the retinue I'll think it'll be large enough to work two Astartes into the mix.
As for equipment, I'm still iffy on this. For the purpose of the mission and to avoid obvious detection I think that all armour and more Astartyish (new word ) weaponry will be kept at a safehouse. The use of which may become prevalent in extreme situations.
No worries, if you don't get enough responses, shoot me a PM and I'll amend mine character to a human officer of some sort, got plenty idea's running around in my head just that that the SM held more interest for me. But not going to cry over spilt milk if only one SM allowed, LLF did beat me to it after all.
Name of Character: Aajz Lucia
Age: 24
Affiliation: Order of the Sister Hospitaller
Position/Rank: Dominion
Particular skills: Some combat experience, skilled in human (and xenos) medicine and xenobiology.
Background: Formerly part of the Stormtrooper Company CXVII, Aajz was the daughter of a Commissar who had died serving on Armageddon on the ongoing war there, and as was her position, that she was enlisted into the Scholar Progenium, although she found herself inept at combat, being unsuited for the rigours of battle and was demoted from the ranks of the Stormtroopers. Although unsuited for combat, she had an uncanny skill for medicine, and found herself joining the Order of the Torch. Serving previously with Inquisitor Vail, she has had extensive training in Xenobiology and toxology, and is just as likely to heal a patient or poison them.
Induction: An experienced former member of an Inquisitorial retinue, she was returning to the convent on Terra before being reassigned to the Inquisition where she would await further orders, her skills in xenobiology made her ideal as both a doctor and an investigator of and xenomorphs the Inquisition may encounter. One of her most useful skills however, is to heal a prisoner of the Inquisitor back to good health so that the Inquisitor and their interrogaters can have another round of "questions" for the prisoner. There has been a notable time where she had reconstructed the body of a prisoner who only had his head and parts of his torso remaining.
Name: Narciso Claudius
Affiliation: Inquisitorial Watchman
Position/Rank: Senior Interrogator
Particular Skills: We shall see...
Background: Narciso has served as an active member of the Ordo Malleus for longer than anyone can remember, seeking out the corrupting influence of the Daemon and the Heretic, seeing that they are burned for their crimes. Having served with various Inquisitors from several Ordos, Claudius is well-versed in the nature of the enemies of Man, rooting them out with cunning words and exceptional planning, seeing the bumbling antics of more bombastic Inquisitors wasteful and fruitless.
Induction: Interrogator was only recently added to the cadre of Inquisitor Remus, having caught his eye during the Denouncement of Inquisitor Helsefir, where the fiery Claudius rattled off a great list of the Inquisitor's deviance's from the Imperial Creed, such as consorting with daemons, hiring xeno mercenaries, and being a member of the Xanthite Creed.
Okay, I'm going to leave this thread open for a few more days since I'd like to get all the characters in detail out here rather than have them added along the way, hopefully some of the saved spots will be filled with info soon enough. Also, a few other people have indicated interest to me via PM.
In the meantime, I'll introduce you to the face of this particular team. For much of the thread, certainly for the the begginning, contact with Inquisitor Remus will be almost non-existent. Instead this is the face that you'll be taking orders from, the one who'll head the team, though her authority may be less recognised and more open to challenge/rivalry, especially given her age.
The Ordos that Inquisitor Remus works under will be kept under wraps for now. One, because it pertains to the story, and two becuase they'll +CLASSIFIED+ if I tell you.
Name: Meldev Avare
Age: 38
Affilitation: Inquisition, Ordos +CLASSIFIED+. Ex-Schola Progenium student.
Position/Rank: Senior Interrorgator, Remus' unnamed sucessor.
Particular Skills: According to Interrogator Avare's profile she is a born-leader. Skilled with a blade, but a nervous tick from damaged nerve tissue on her right arm has ruined her aim. When not in a combat she has a habit of keeping the hand, which tends to clench and unclench reflexively, tucked behind her back, disguised as a professionaly aloof posture. This small impairment is more than made up for by her ruthlessness, her demands of perfection from both herself and her underlings, and a steel resolve to achieve a goal with no heed to the cost.
Background: Heresy insidiously finds it's path into the ranks of humanity in different ways. Sometimes it is a slow process, the roots of faithlessness creeping in, its insidious chokehold revealed all too late to resist or cleanse without absolute extermination. In the case of Avare's homeplanet, Pertiva III, the change was much more rapid. It is uncertain what brought Inquisitor Remus to Pertiva III, a backwater Agri-world, for the Schola Progenium which he visited was by no means remarkable. Certainly he did not intend to stay long enough to conduct any sort of investigation but, even unnanounced, his very presence was enough. Truly it must have been the Emperor's Providence that forced the traitors to act too early, for the ringleaders were spurred into rallying their followers too hastily, before their hold on the planet had truly been secured. As it was, the element of surprise still worked in the heretic's favour. While the PDF was torn apart from the inside out by sudden conflict, former defenders of the Imperium suddenly opening fire on their bewildered comrdes, the Schola Progenium itself was attacked in overwhelming numbers, the traitor generals desperate to silence the Inquisitor before he could get word of the foul act to the Imperium. It was during the course of this bloody overnight battle, between a thin line of young Schola cadets, with a mere dozen Stormtroopers, and the horde of attackers that grew as the battle raged, it was here that Avare saved Remus' life, personally dragging him to the recently landed shuttle, then rushing back to join her fellow cadets as the shuttle safely launched. She was 15 at the time.
Induction: When Inquisitor Remus returned at the head of a sizeable task force, 12 years later, Pertiva III was still locked in a gruelling civil war. Within months the planet was cleared of taint, the resistance trampled underfoot by the regiments of the Imperial Guard, made all the more swift and certain by a detatchment of Astartes from the Minotaurs Chapter. Inquisitor Remus no doubt surprised to discover Avare, now 27, not only alive, but commanding the loylaist forces of the southern continent. Impressed, after Pertiva III was declared cleansed by an Ecclesiarchy Official, Avare soon found herself inducted into Remus' retinue, leaving the broken world behind. She has served under his direction for only 11 years, but already it is apparent that Inquisitor Remus is grooming her to be his sucessor.
Name of Character: Soric Ghast Age: 29 Affiliation: Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Position/Rank: Captain Particular skills: good with a hell-gun, Drop veteran and grav-chute user, Charisma, Covert operations veteran. Background: Was a captain in the 2nd Ousian Stormtrooper regiment. His men were all killed during a night raid on an ork settlement, his men gunned down inside their Valkyries by crude Ork AA fire. Not much more is known from the Backwater Swamp dweller, except that he loves to hunt big animals, often with just the simplest of weapons. Induction: When his men were killed, Ghast was 26, and the good Inquisitor took him into his retinue, Ghast's skills would surely come in handy in a gunfight, or covert operations.
Welcome aboard Ghast! I like that story about losing your men in such a way. This character may be carrying some baggage.
Although your rank was (officially) captain, Toastedandy's character, Slavro, has served with Inquisitor Retinue for longer. He'll be head of the 'muscle' for the start of this mission, as things like what you used to be mean little in the opinion of an Inquisitor. Whether this leads to friction or a working relationship will be interesting to see.
I encourage you to communicate via PM if you wish, and don't hesitate to do sowith me if you think there'll be a problem.
Looking forward to do some RPing, hopefully in the near future. Yes, my character was a captain in his previous unit, but I already knew about him keeping his rank, but also losing it when he joined the retinue. Now, Captain is just a kind of nickname for him, until he proves his worth to the inquisitor I guess.
Name of Character: Gaz
Age: 28
Affiliation: Inquisitorial Stormtrooper
Position/Rank: Sergent
Particular skills: Marksman and heavy weapons trooper
Background: Gaz was the son of the planetary governor Rex of Cadia until he was killed by and assassin when Gaz was only 12, he was immediately inducted into the schola progenium.
very he was singled out for his accuracy and quickly moved up the ranks from private up to Sergent.
Induction: Gaz fought alongside Inquisitor Remus in a boarding mission when the rest of his squad
had been killed but he fought on, the inquisitor admired this and he requested he join his retinue, Gaz gladly accepted.

Fair point EF, my new found obsession with Assault Terminator's proves to be my undoing once more . I will make amends-although, would it still be possible to have Aygapus as a 1st company veteran, just without his equipment?

Your a good sport thanks, you can borrow my bolter anytime I personally think a 1st Company Veteran Scout would open up a lot of RP opportunities(spelling) and certainly be a more challenging RP in a good way.
Particular skills: Dominates close range firefights with his flamer, Knows exactly where to place his meltabombs in order to do the most damage
Background: Served with the Ferosian 1st Heavy Rifles regiment since his recruitment on his 18th birthday, earning several commendations for his anti-vehicle work and skills at urban combat.
Induction: When Ork pirates raided one of the outermost moons of his home sector, the Ferosian 1st's attempts to contest the Ork landings went badly, and the greenskins managed to punch through the line and cause havoc. David and his platoon was ordered to defend a small village in the mountains from the invaders, assured by High Command that their counter attack would soon come and relieve them. After a week of fighting, reinforcements still hadn't arrived and David's platoon had been whittled down to only himself and the squad medic Jason. When the promised support did arrive, Including Inquisitor Remus, only David still stood, badly wounded but still defiant, his tanks long since dry and meta bombs used to crush dozens of the invaders under carefully placed avalanches, yet not a single ork had come within spitting distance of the habs. Impressed by this Guardsman's devotion to duty and resourcefulness, Remus recruited him on the spot.

Of course, that's no problem. I find his background very fascinating. There are certainly enough people now to comfortably squeeze in two Astartes. I look forward to seeing how you work together.
@Hellsgaurdian: Is it alright for you shed your equipment for this mission? An unarmoured Astartes could be mistaken for a heavy-set thug perhaps, but with power armour you aren't going to fit in at all.
Snarky wrote:Ok, I've redone my character because I think that roleplaying as a servitor may just be a little too dull!
I hope it's ok that I've made a non-combatant PC, decided to go the hospitaller after painting my own inquisitorial retinue!
Gotta say I like it. A sister Hospitallier is essential I think for any decent retinue.
Again, I am loving the background and induction stories here.
Wow, with around 10-11 posters here ready to go I'm going to have to put a cap on this soon. I think 14, not including NPCS, will be the largest number I can smoothly manage.
Name: Sampalla
Age: Human Host: 20 Deamon: Unknown
Affiliation: Imperial
Position/Rank: ++Classified
Particular skills: Channeling The Warp, Predicting the Future, general Deamonhost things
Background: Not much is known of Sampalla. A Deamon of the unknown age and power, Sampalla was summoned by Remus at M.++Purged from Records++.
Induction: Sampalla was summoned and bonded to Remus. Remus has instructed Sampalla to go off on his own accord to stabilize the planet.

+10 Charm.
EDIT: EF, are you going to start the RP in here or in a new thread?
A new thread, complete with missio brief and opening scene. I'll let you know now that it won't be an immediate combat zone, leaving characters free to converse for a short while before conflict becomes imminent.
Chowderhead wrote: Deamonhost
You are, of course, welcome to join in Chowder. However I have a real problem with this being a playable character becuase it makes a horde of assumptions about Remus. Firstly, the presence of a deamonhost makes on assume he is a radical, and brands him as such. Secondly, no one is going to converse or build a working relationship with said deamon at all. This leaves you sitting on the sideline spouting dark prophecieis and generally looking very unappealing. If possible I want our crew to mingle a fair bit.
Sorry, but in every sense a deamonhost throws this retinue out of whack.
@EF. Weapon wise I had planned to stick with just a boltgun, couple of frags and kraks (maybe just two of each) and leave it at that otherwise It would fall under "has every weapon under the sun" syndrome.
As for the armour, I do see the point, I could drop him down to Scout armour just like LLF. I just don't won't to tread on his toes again by having a similar character. Can you offer any suggestions? I could do him as you suggested as an armoured thug, as even a Marine without his carperace armour would be formidable

A bolter is always a decent piece of wargear.

Ok thats excellent thanks, my google searches turned up nothing, mostly because you can't find an image when you don't know what your looking for, hehe.
so basically an Arnold Schwarzenegger with a few pipes and connectors visible to show where the armour interfaces and connects. Will ponder a bit on how to work it into my character and edit Ronan's profile to match up. Proberly have him dressed in flak armour but that would be purely for visual effect.
I'd humbly suggest to EF, that when you start the thread and begin the RP, that the first post should detail all the background as you've already said you would, and then maybe copy and paste all our character posts with attached pics. That way we won't get people posting ... RP post, RP post, Charactor stats, RP post, Charactor stats, etc.

Good idea, I may also update the character's dossiers as the mission continues (taking notes of any unreliability or particular distinction in their roles). As HG suggested the character roles will all be in the first post, easy to locate if people want to remind themselves of the particulars of their character or that of another. I will be slightly rewriting the posts though, just to make it appear that it's from the stance of either Inquisitor Remus or Interrogator Avare in an evaluation.
also is my char sheet ok?
The info is fine (are Schola Progenium cadets ussually aware of who their parents were?) but please try to better the quality of your grammar and punctuation, posts harder to read break up continuity.

I think its plausible, Ibram Gaunt knew his father before being taken to the Schola, and Chapias Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM makes a few nods towards his past. (all though he's probably lying and is vague with the details in any case.)
Hmm sounds intrestin, Ill join in if theres space, (cant find a good picture yet)

No, I've got Law exams in about 2 weeks. I'll have the character sheets and mission briefing ready before that, but I think it's best that I don't start this until I'm actually able to commit to this roleplay, otherwise it'll be a job half done. Besides, there's still a bit of confusion from PM's I'm receiving about characters.
@Lord Harrab: Nice, a pyromaniac or just a fella that enjoys his honest job?
EF I'm fine with the delayed start, I have some exams coming up in a bit too. Besides gives me a little time to get a pic up for the character as well; seeing as pretty much everyone has one.
Chowderhead, if you want to play a non human Character, why not a Kroot mercenary,
If the Inquisitor's Ordo Xenos: You can say that he is studing Kroot nature and combat
If he's Ordo Malus: Then he hired him because of the Kroots ressistance to taint (cite rouge trader Role playing game)
If he's Ordo Heriticus: then who better to track down witches than a gaint bipedal hunter (other than imperial assassins)
Also its not as radical as a Demon host, but more radical than a normal Inquisitor (if there is such thing)
And there is a Kroot canivore model for the Inquisitor game

I find it highly unlikely that either high ranking Eldar would ever work under a lowly "Mon-Keigh". If Ordo Malleus, it's possible (but very unlikely) that a harlequin would be working alongside the Inquisitor, but only if it's some super crazy powerful inquisitor who can handle the "truth".

soon come and relieve them. After a week of fighting, reinforcements still hadn't arrived and David's platoon had been whittled
down to only himself and the squad medic Jason. When the promised support did arrive, Including Inquisitor Remus, only David still
stood, badly wounded but still defiant, his tanks long since dry and meta bombs used to crush dozens of the invaders under carefully

Hmmm looks good, but we still should get the other "Non" combatant classes like the hospitaler and the watchmaster in here as well as the marine duo, also just for personal intrest anyone who hasn't, post your equipment.
just a request.
Toastedandy seems to have gotten the warrior classes (bar the Assassin and Astartes) out there. I'm liking the name Squad Helborne.
Reisen is right, anymore non-combatants would be interesting. As for a Kroot hunter, I think that's the only xenos that Inquisitors would accept (either reservations) and employ. It'll be hard to get a conversation going.

Age: 23
Affiliation: IG Rank: Private first class
Skills: Sharpshooter, Pilot
Background: Valkyrie pilot, attached too squad Helborne

Spoiler:
Booyah, and I get to control that NPC. Until he dies that is.
Now now, you can't just go callling up a Valkryie whenever you bloody well want.
Spoiler:
He'll be damn useful when the situation demands it though.
As for the planet, the basic details is that it's a Hive World, though not as densely populated as some. There are only 3 Hive cities on the planet's surface. Our base of operations is a safehouse located within the mountain ranges where the nobility often have private villas.
The mission is a manhunt, and I'll provied further details via an extensive mission briefing once we get underway.

Flack Armour Flack Helmet with protecive visor Rebreather Flamer Backpack fuel tanks (Enough for twenty min continual firing) Laspistol 2 Spare power-cells (15 shots each) 3 meltabombs on a harness below his fuel tanks. (in the small of his back) Combat Knife. Phoniex lucky charm on a chain around his neck.
I was reading a book last night and they had these things in their ears called com beads, they were like little radios used too communicate on the battlefield, but obviously they didnt work while inside, underground, in a firefight, outside, upside down, basically anytime outside of arms reach. Do we get these? It would be a bit weird if we can all talk too each other all the time, but it would fit into the idea the inquistors had access too anything they need
Oh and could people post their final character sheet, just so we all know who is playing

EF is planning to post all the charactor sheets for the start of the RPso don't worry, thats all in hand.
As for the vox com, it makes sense for the inquisitior to have the ability to talk to everyone if needed, though I'd doubt that this would extend to everyone being able to talk to everyone, it would simply be a 1-1 basis. Space marines and higher ranking charactors may have access to better quality ones, but come on, do you really think Space Marines are going to be all chitty chatty with everyone?
Cool man, I like the 1:1 basis, so The inquistor gets overall control ie can get into any line, each leader of squad helborne, having one, space marines as standard
But instead of it been all chat all the time, do it like gaunts ghosts, simple clicks for confirmations, one word passcodes with unique answers so like
'silver'
'click'
so people listening cant intercept comms

Thats actually more of a stealth discipline, used when they are close to hostiles and spoken words could be overheard.
as for Comm-beads, they usually operate on a squad level, in that every man in a squad can contact everyone else in the unit, and have a range of several dozen meters, with the squad vox operator carrying a stronger unit that gives the sergeant access to the company net so he can be given orders and send status reports. Commissars, Inquisitors and other high ranking officers have access to the entire vox net for any given battle-zone.
As for encryption, that can be broken, depending on plot.
Since this is a hive world (most likely with arbites pressence)
do you think I could tap into thier channels (if needed) with my clearance and familiarity with abrites chatter codes?(Assuming they are the same on this world)
It depends from planet to planet. Each planet has it's own crime fighting policies, jurisdiction, etc... There are planets that don't even have a police force, so no, ReisenTanith, I don't think the communication technics would be the same for each planet.
Do you think it'll be feasible for either me or Warork to give others cybernetic enhancements? I mean one is a techpriest and i am techincally a disciple of the Adeptus Mechanicus Biologis...

Perhaps if characters suffer crippling injuries.
^^ this, I doubt there would be a whole lot of bionic replacement actually taking place in the RP unless it were to replace limbs or other damaged parts.

Character Sheets!
I have yet to complete the wargear, filtering it out so far don't really give that much of a damn about wargear, you should know what's over the top and what's not for your character. Please check your sheets to see if their correct.
As for the Recording Logs, the current ones are of Remus and Avare reviewing (and approving) the members of the team for this mission. The logs will be added tp for each individual as the mission continues, commenting on their failure, death, dedication, stability or anything else Avare finds noteworthy.
When a character dies (and they will, no doubt) their field turns from green to red. And a final log on Avare's part will report their death, most likely in a cold and uncaring manner (as befits a likely-Inquisitor).
Emperors Faithful: Leader (The fellow in charge)
Name: Meldev Avare
Age: 38
Affilitation: Inquisition, Ordos +CLASSIFIED+. Ex-Schola Progenium student.
Position/Rank: Interrorgator Senioris, Remus' unnamed sucessor (or Inquisitor-in-waiting).
Particular Skills: According to Interrogator Avare's profile she is a born-leader. Skilled with a blade, but a nervous tick from damaged nerve tissue on her right arm has ruined her aim. When not in a combat she has a habit of keeping the hand, which tends to clench and unclench reflexively, tucked behind her back, disguised as a professionaly aloof posture.
This small impairment is more than made up for by her ruthlessness, her demands of perfection from both herself and her underlings, and a steel resolve to achieve a goal with no heed to the cost.
Background: Heresy insidiously finds it's path into the ranks of humanity in different ways. Sometimes it is a slow process, the roots of faithlessness creeping in, its insidious chokehold revealed all too late to resist or cleanse without absolute extermination. In the case of Avare's homeplanet, Pertiva III, the change was much more rapid. It is uncertain what brought Inquisitor Remus to Pertiva III, a backwater Agri-world, for the Schola Progenium which he visited was by no means remarkable. Certainly he did not intend to stay long enough to conduct any sort of investigation but, even unnanounced, his very presence was enough.
Truly it must have been the Emperor's Providence that forced the traitors to act too early, for the ringleaders were spurred into rallying their followers too hastily, before their hold on the planet had truly been secured. As it was, the element of surprise still worked in the heretic's favour. While the PDF was torn apart from the inside out by sudden conflict, former defenders of the Imperium suddenly opening fire on their bewildered comrdes, the Schola Progenium itself was attacked in overwhelming numbers, the traitor generals desperate to silence the Inquisitor before he could get word of the foul act to the Imperium. It was during the course of this bloody overnight battle, between a thin line of young Schola cadets, with a mere dozen Stormtroopers, and the horde of attackers that grew as the battle raged, it was here that Avare saved Remus' life, personally dragging him to the recently landed shuttle, then rushing back to join her fellow cadets as the shuttle safely launched. She was 15 at the time.
Induction: When Inquisitor Remus returned at the head of a sizeable task force, 5 years later, Pertiva III was still locked in a gruelling civil war. Within months the planet was cleared of taint, the resistance trampled underfoot by the regiments of the Imperial Guard, made all the more swift and certain by a detatchment of Astartes from the Minotaurs Chapter. Inquisitor Remus was no doubt surprised to discover Avare, now 2, not only alive, but commanding the loylaist guerilla forces of the southern continent. Impressed, after Pertiva III was declared cleansed by an Ecclesiarchy Official, Avare soon found herself inducted into Remus' retinue, leaving the broken world behind. She has served under his direction for only 17 years, but already it is apparent that Inquisitor Remus is grooming her to be his sucessor.

Remus: Yes, you do. I made a point of recording it during that firefight back on the Cuice Outcrops. The servo-skull wrote it down as you spoke, here's the transcript.
Avare: Ah... I'll have to work on that.
Remus: Avare, there's something I haven't told you. This will be your last mission under me as my acolyte. No, don't look at me like that, you haven't done anything wrong. Quite the opposite, Avare, I'm going to petition your induction as a full Inquisitor before the council. This is your initiation test, Avare. Suceed here and you will no longer be my pupil, but my peer. If you fail...
Avare: Only in death does duty end.
Quite so, my child. Quite so.
Toastedandy [b]Name of Character: Sergeant. Slavro
Age: 37.
Affiliation:Imperial Guard

Induction: Sole survivor of a Necron incursion, Slavro was reassigned to Inquisitor Remus.

+++DESIGNATION SERGEANT SLAVRO+++
+++Encryption Level: HYPHELION+++
+++Recording Log 2a+++
Remus: You’ve met him before. He’s a good man. A damn hero by all accounts.
Avare: Only in passing, my lord, and I know that, Emperor knows, I’ve seen his records. But I’d also like to be familiar with the people I’ll be working with in this mission. I just want to know that if push comes to shove he-
Remus: If push comes to shove? [Laughter] Push came to shove when that damn monolith tore up the Leman Russ Squadron. Push came to shove when his men were ripped to shreds by those hellish clawed creatures. I’ve seen the vid-logs. A man who lives through that isn’t the kind to crack under pressure. And his record of service under me is nothing if not exemplary. No one is better qualified than him to command the fire teams.
Avare: …very well then. Actually, now that I look at his actions during the Piscina rebellion, he demonstrates a solid grasp of tactics and strategic thinking.
Remus: [Laughter] If I could get just one more chance to look at that cultist's face when we burst through the skylight…
N0t_u Name of Character: Zeta (Full name : Z18231a, though most don't know or bother with it; actual name is lost)
Age: Unknown
Affiliation: Officio Assassinorum
Position/Rank: Callidus
Particular skills: Close quarters expert, linguist, deception, stealth, poisons and persuasion
Background: History either classified or unknown, Z18231a does not possess much memory and is even unsure if they remember their true form.
Induction: Z18231a was recruited due to their loyalty (as they remember nothing but service to the Emperor) and the skill which they had displayed in previous missions. One notable occasion involved a Tau Cadre brought to panic when a messenger which seemed from the Water Caste drove a blade into an Ethereal's head before vanishing in the chaos caused.

Little Lord Fauntelroy Name: Brother Aygapus
Age: ~300 Terran years
Affiliation: Minotaurs Chapter of the AdeptusAstartes
Position/Rank: Former terminator assault Veteran, 1st Company
Particular skills: Gifted strategist (but, as always for the Assault Terminators, prefers to break stuff), fanatical hatred of Orks even for a Minotaur.
Background: Homeworld unknown, but records on board the DaedolusKrata indicate thetAygapus was recruited from a planet on the borders of T'au space. A member of 4th company for most of his life, Aygapus was inducted into the First Company shortly before the Badab war. He was present during the last series of boarding attacks against the Lamentors chapter, where he was often called upon to offer tactical advice to other 1st company squads. However, Aygapus finds it almost impossible to trust anyone outside of his chapter, which has in the past created problems when working alongside other Imperial forces.
Induction: Exiled from his chapter by lord Moloc for 150 years following some unrecorded transgression during the Badab War, Aygapus was originally going to be transferred into the Deathwatch. However, he came to the attention of Inquisitor Remus whilst the crusier transporting him and his new squad was attacked by Ork 'Freebooterz', leaving Aygapus the sole survivor due to his sheer brutality. At the request of the Inquisitor Moloc changed the sentence to induction into Remus' retinue, although as penance he was stripped of his equipment and in essence demoted back to a scout. However, his skills remain and he is still ready to be put into action when a mission needs a little extra brutality-which it often does. Exactly what he did Aygapus never speaks of, and any who require usually do not live to regret it.

Avare: You know, my lord, I was always impressed with your good accord with the Astartes.
Remus: It’s not easy to maintain strong relations; they’re as independent as they are stubborn. I remember this one, nearly ripped apart the Ork ship single-handedly. Do you think he’ll be able to conceal himself?
Avare: I should think that when there is need that demands the use of theAstartes, the time for subtlety has long gone.
Remus: [Laughter] Quite so.
WARORK Name: Mikal Holtz
Age: 200
Affiliation: AdeptusMechanicus
Position/Rank: Iron Priest
Particular skills: Particularly human acting for a tech priest, intuitive, improvising, the uncanny ability (for a tech priest) to think outside the box and outside protocol.
Background: Mikal was truly gifted with insight from the Omnissiah as a child and was therefore taken from his home planet and trained on Mars for many decades in the arcane arts of machinery. He served the Imperial cause wherever he was called but his often unorthodox methods and seeming disdain for the more advanced mechanical replacements (he has quite a few, but not nearly as many as many others) were always frowned upon by the Magi. Given this, he was never able to rise very far through the ranks of the Mechanicus, he was content, however, to serve as the head Engineseer for the Imperial 45th Cadian Shock Troopers
Induction: During one of the many Chaos incursions on the planet Cadia, the Inquisitor Remus was attached to the Cadian 45th, and while there was intrigued by the unusual, yet successful ways the guardsmen of the regiment were carrying the fight. He was even more surprised to hear that these innovative ideas were coming from a Techpriest. At the request of Inquisitor Remus at the end of the campaign, the Techpriest and his retinue were assigned to the Inquisition under Inquisitor Remus.

Remus: Yes, yes. But thisone is different, I promise. He tends to think out outside the box. One might say he that he’s got a bit more spark. [Remus emphasises this last word]
Avare: …with all due respect, my lord, that was terrible.
HellsGaurdian Name: Ronan
Age: 311
Affiliation: Space Marine
Position/Rank: Battle Brother from the 3rd Company
Particular skills: Standard Space marine training
Background: Ronan has led a typical life of Space Marine and earned many honours in his years of Service to the Elite Guard under the command of Chapter Master Warrender. Having performed beyond expectations in several large scale engagements, Scout sergeant Ronan was quickly promoted to a fully fledged Battle Brother and entered the ranks of the 2nd Devastor squad "Pure Shots" within the 3rd Company. He has shown his skills over his fellows several times over in the field with his calculating and methodical approach to warfare
Induction: As to the reason as to why a Chapter Master would so willingly send one of his Battle Brothers to aid Remus is still a mystery, perhaps Remus has unknowingly done something that has benefited the Elite Guard and thus the Chapter Master has felt the need to repay the dept, or perhaps Chapter Master Warrender knows something more about this mission than even the Inquisition and felt the need to send one of his finest into the fray to ensure success. Whatever the reason none can deny the look of bewilderment on his face as only 6weeks from the date of his original request for aid should a fully kitted Battle Brother arrive and pledge his aid to the Inquisitor. One should note however, he did not pledge his loyalty ...
To prevent any misconception of loyalty or links between the Elite Guard Chapter and Remus, it was agreed that Ronan would discard his Armour and heraldry so that the origins of this Battle Brother would remain a secret from all but Inquisitor Remus. Having secured his sacred armour in the Vaults of Vaq'uir, Battle Brother Ronan donned an armoured uniform befitting that of a Space Marine Initiate. The protection it provided was a moot point compared to the thick under skin armour that all Marines were implanted with and thus it provided merely a cosmetic appearance.
At a distance, many a man would not recognise the Astartes without his armour, for those unfortunate to be close enough would see the many black connector ports and tubes that criss-crossed his visible flesh and betrayed his obvious superhuman like strength and agility. His red ocular implant and intergraded ear piece are the only visible clues to the extensive bionics that this Astartesaquired during his training as an Initiate. Even without his Carparace Armour, Ronan would no doubt be a formidable foe to his enemies and he relished the chance to prove himself once again while being at a disadvantage.

Remus: If only. Take him, you’ll be glad of the extra muscle. But watch your back. As much as the Astartes lack subtlety and detest intrigue, their Chapter Master has other motives for sending Brother Ronan to our aid. I am sure of it.
Snarky Name of Character: Aajz Lucia
Age: 24
Affiliation: Order of the Sister Hospitaller
Position/Rank: Dominion
Particular skills: Some combat experience, skilled in human (and xenos) medicine and xenobiology.
Background: Formerly part of the Stormtrooper Company CXVII, Aajz was the daughter of a Commissar who had died serving on Armageddon on the ongoing war there, and as was her position, that she was enlisted into the Scholar Progenium, although she found herself inept at combat, being unsuited for the rigours of battle and was demoted from the ranks of the Stormtroopers.
Although unsuited for combat, she had an uncanny skill for medicine, and found herself joining the Order of the Torch. Serving previously with Inquisitor Vail, she has had extensive training in Xenobiology and toxology, and is just as likely to heal a patient or poison them.
Induction: An experienced former member of an Inquisitorial retinue, she was returning to the convent on Terra before being reassigned to the Inquisition where she would await further orders, her skills in xenobiology made her ideal as both a doctor and an investigator of and xenomorphs the Inquisition may encounter. One of her most useful skills however, is to heal a prisoner of the Inquisitor back to good health so that the Inquisitor and their interrogaters can have another round of "questions" for the prisoner. There has been a notable time where she had reconstructed the body of a prisoner who only had his head and parts of his torso remaining.

Scrazza Name of Character: Soric Ghast
Age: 29
Affiliation: Inquisitorial Stormtrooper
Position/Rank: Captain [Investigation of Paroxis IV Incident still bearing]
Particular skills: good with a hell-gun, Drop veteran and grav-chute user, Charisma, Covert operations veteran.
Background: Was a captain in the 2nd Ousian Stormtrooper regiment. His men were all killed during a night raid on an ork settlement, his men gunned down inside their Valkyries by crude Ork AA fire. Not much more is known from the Backwater Swamp dweller, except that he loves to hunt big animals, often with just the simplest of weapons.
Induction: When his men were killed, Ghast was 26, and the good Inquisitor took him into his retinue, Ghast's skills would surely come in handy in a gunfight, or covert operations.

Avare: I’m not looking for a conversation. He’ll do.
Vulkan He’stan Name of Character: Gaz
Age: 28
Affiliation: Inquisitorial Stormtrooper

Background: Gaz was the son of the planetary governor Rex of Cadia until he was killed by and assassin when Gaz was only 12, he was immediately inducted into the Schola Progenium. Very early he was singled out for his accuracy and quickly moved up the ranks, making Sergeant, and was accepted as an Inquisitorial Storm Trooper.
Induction: Gaz fought alongside Inquisitor Remus in a boarding mission when the rest of his squad had been killed but he fought on, the inquisitor admired this and he requested he join his retinue, Gaz gladly accepted.

He’s a perfect example of what our Inquisitorial Storm troopers should aspire to be, as for his upbringing, I doubt he himself is even aware of the high station his father held. He’s a servant of the Inquisition first, foremost, and always.
Avare: Yes, his boarding action of the Gesemane Hulk does do credit to his record. I’ll take him. We can’t have any conflict of authority though, for now his rank will be suspended.
Lord Harrab Name of Character: David Wilson
Age: 25
Affiliation:IG Position/Rank: Specialist/Combat Engineer
Particular skills: Dominates close range firefights with his flamer, Knows exactly where to place his meltabombs in order to do the most damage
Background: Served with the Ferosian 1st Heavy Rifles regiment since his recruitment on his 18th birthday, earning several commendations for his anti-vehicle work and skills at urban combat.
Induction: When Ork pirates raided one of the outermost moons of his home sector, the Ferosian 1st's attempts to contest the Ork landings went badly, and the greenskins managed to punch through the line and cause havoc. David and his platoon was ordered to defend a small village in the mountains from the invaders, assured by High Command that their counter attack would soon come and relieve them. After a week of fighting, reinforcements still hadn't arrived and David's platoon had been whittled down to only himself and the squad medic Jason. When the promised support did arrive, Including Inquisitor Remus, only David still stood, badly wounded but still defiant, his tanks long since dry and meta bombs used to crush dozens of the invaders under carefully placed avalanches, yet not a single ork had come within spitting distance of the habs. Impressed by this Guardsman's devotion to duty and resourcefulness, Remus recruited him on the spot.

Background: as a Juvie, her father (the senior judge of the hive at the time) has trained her in the use of hand guns and other weapons. After his tragic death while he was trying to calm down a riot, she has sworn to hunt down criminals and traitors in her hive and beyond. She was promoted to Proctor after shooting a riot instigator with a well-placed bolt round 5 blocks away with her pistol. She has a love of hand guns (to an unhealthy degree as stated by her senior judge), but none can deny her effective shooting and zeal.
Induction: a Proctor in a distant Hive city that stumbled into the inquisitors investigation on an Illegal narcotics ring and has been part of his team since saving his life with a well placed bullet to a cultist behind him.

Background: Narciso has served as an active member of the Ordo Malleus for longer than anyone can remember, seeking out the corrupting influence of the Daemon and the Heretic, seeing that they are burned for their crimes. Having served with various Inquisitors from several Ordos, Claudius is well-versed in the nature of the enemies of Man, rooting them out with cunning words and exceptional planning, seeing the bumbling antics of more bombastic Inquisitors wasteful and fruitless.
Induction: Interrogator was only recently added to the cadre of Inquisitor Remus, having caught his eye during the Denouncement of Inquisitor Helsefir, where the fiery Claudius rattled off a great list of the Inquisitor's deviance's from the Imperial Creed, such as consorting with daemons, hiring xeno mercenaries, and being a member of the Xanthite Creed.
Avare: An interrogator? Shouldn't the Sister Hospitallier suffice?
Remus: Claudius is more than just another dungeon master, he's excellent acolyte material. Read his writings on the Xanthite Creed, or his condemnation of the Hepastus Circle. He's pious, he's intelligent, and in particular with our quarry here his thinking will be of great use.
Avare: You're saying i should confide in him? Tell him who w-

dragonaj, I have made clear when we will be starting (this weekend) and that it will occur in another thread. I asked those participating to confirm that I have their characters done correctly, as I was soon going to talk about the chain of command and the rules, which I was going to post in the new thread, but thought best to discuss it here first. I didn't give any sort of go-ahead for the start, and indeed I've said the opposite.
If you cannot demonstrate an ability to read and follow instructions, that will disrupt the RP and I WILL aks you to leave.

EDIT: Ok, didn't take me as long as I thought, I approve, and think the other charactors intro's are pretty good as well. I notice my entry was short and sweet, if that was intentional then thats perfectly fine, but if its because I've not given you much to work with I'm happy to give more info if your wanting to fluff it out more. Other than that, nice job
Sorry my mind is some what screwed up i have vary bad memery of conversations past a day or 2. some times il repeat my self with in minuts of saying some thing. im on mentle disabilty.
Ok got my head back on strait here my mind goes and my body goes along for the ride sometimes I'm prone to day dreams and violent fantasies. Sorry again. But i like how the npcs refer to furn as a bad ass bitch witch fits her and if any one hasn't guessed or is wondering shes based on the officer Sophie furn from the game zeonic front in looks and attitude blunt as a war hammer and hot as volcano...... if you ever git her out of that bomb suit the storm troopers wear. Also note that the draconian storm troopers wear gear similar to the krage death cores storm trooper gear only with flak plating so its a mix of death core and cadin uniforms.

@dragonaj: Try writing your posts out on Word first, spellchecking, then copy pasting here. It's how I did the Character sheets for the most part, and it helped immensely.
I dont have a working copie of ward it will not let me copy past to and from the net do to not having pradoct code/actavation key for it so my only typeing program is note pad and i have to use spell check from google.

Could of been a field promotion, his captain died, so he filled the role.
I might be wrong, but somehow I got the impression that rank on many worlds were given much like they were in the 18th Century, You know, Captain Sharpe an all that
Anyhoo, the point I am poorly trying to make is that Rank was given to the nobles rather than via promotion but it did happen on occasion for the same reasons Toastedandy made in his post above. Therefore it would be perfectly possible (assuming I'm right) that he could be a high rank purely because of his nobility. Of course he would still be as rough as they come, none of that hip hip, I say ole bean, nonsense
EDIT: Remembered the dates and edited my post accordingly

It does depend on what planet they are from. My character hails from Ousia, A planet I came up with for my new guard army. Ousia basically is a backwater planet, covered in one big swamp, bayous areas etc. There simply isn't a thing like nobility on Ousia. There's the governor, that's all. The rest are just rural, rough, mean,...kinda men. You know, much like people who would live in a stinking swamp with dangerous animals (read: monsters) living next to them.
So, according to the fluff of the planet, my character would have been given the rank because of a field promotion, or was singled out in training for tactic insight and get to follow tactics to become a captain. I think the first, the field promotion, suits my liking the most, so I'll go with that.

In which case go with what you feel best, the fact you have a background already means your in a much better position to give much more depth and life into your charactor. My background is still very much being written out and hoping to post it on dakka with a few stories to compliment the Chapter when I'm done.

Indeed i did, you've given me plenty of room to RP with, and i look forward to doing it. as for Wilson himself, He's a Guardsman. Of course his loyalty is to the Throne first, he also had personal reasons for holding the line like he did.
EDIT: to the warp with it, ill just post it here, its not like its sinister or anything. This way you can make amendments if desired.
Wilson's married. His wife is chief medic of the Feroisan 5th mechanized and holds the rank of captain, but they'd met before the draft. That village in the hills was where her family lived, and was also a natural choke point. he would have stood his ground and died standing anyway, (he's a Guardsman and knows his duty) but that the fact that his wife had family there gave him the drive to stand firm against an entire Ork WAAAGH! and emerge alive. (Also, as he did it alone for the most part he had more freedom to be unorthodox once his Officer and Commissar was dead.) the order to defend it was unrelated.
EDIT 2: just to clarify, he'll always obey orders, its just if he can find a way to obey and do "the right thing," he'll do it and damn the consequences .

Don't need to tell me this. It could come up later in the thread.
An interrogator's role will often involve healing their subject, as a Hospitallier won't always be on call. Anyway, that was only Avare hypothesising, Claudius' skills don't necessarily run that way.
Posting Rules
1) When you post in the RP, your post should focus on your character, but remain 3rd person. People will become very confused if everyone starts using first person.
2)Before you post, read the previous posts and alter your post accordingly. If a firefight has begun shortly before your post (and you're in the area) you should be aware of that and reacting to it in your post.
3) The team will be splitting up, sometimes for short passes to chase down our quarry, other times to split up and investigate different leads. As such before your post, in bold put your Character's name, their location and their situation on top. This will help people know what is happening to who, and where.

The mission breifing will occur later on, I'll instigate it.
This is not me starting the RP, I will open up another thread for that. You will recieve a PM with the link to the new thread.

Greetings Furies,
This will be the first time all members of Taskforce Fury have assembled within the same roof. Several of you will have been here for the past couple of days, dutifully preparing yourselves for the task ahead. Most of you, however, will only have just gotten off the shuttle that brought you here, reading this as you walk towards the manor at this very moment.
Welcome to the planet Calthrix. At the moment you’re in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet, the mountainous areas that are abound with valleys, such as this, still supporting verdant amounts of life, untouched by pollution of the Hive Cities in the southern areas. Under any other circumstances this manor would be picturesque, the trees and birdsongs pleasant, the nearby lake perfect for recreational activities. The nobility of this planet obviously have that in mind, hence why these mountains are dotted with private estates.
This is the reason we are here. We believe our target took refuge with one of the nobility, to rest and recuperate at his leisure. I am not optimistic enough to believe that our target is still here, but the trail is fresh, and we have the scent. We lost contact with our source of information just over a week ago, before we could identify the location of the estate. Our goal now is to investigate and discover the location of this manor, interrogate everyone that resides or works there and discover the destination of our target.
Further information concerning particular roles and parameters will be discussed in the briefing room this evening at 2000 standard Terra time. Attendance is mandatory.

Ronan jumps off the shuttle craft and surveys the area, he had recieved word from Remus himself that he was required to join a group of furies for an unspecified reason. Donning his special suit having left his armour in storage he makes his way to the large Mansion and bangs on the door several times with his fist. The door slowly creaks open and stood in the doorway is non other than his old friend, Brother Aygapus. Not a word is exchanged as Brother Aygapus looks him up and down seeing Ronan dressed as a giant Bunny, a loud slap is heard as he facepalms himself, mumbling the words "Furies! .. not .. Furries you idiot!"
if you give me an opening like that, I'm gonna take it
Allright! Making intro post now. I do hope you meant us to d that here, and not in the real RP. I is confused.
IC:
Soric walked down the boarding ramp of the shuttle, alongside others of the strikeforce. He didn't bother to have a conversation with the others, all he cared about was getting out of this damned inquisitorial errant, and get back to Ousia. He longed for the stink of the swamps.
Soric covered his eyes against the sun. He had been on transit for the last two months afterall, sunshine was something of a long time ago. He lugged his gear off the shuttle. His Hellgun, some private things he gathered over the years stuffed in an old ammo box,...
He wore his drab green carapace armor like it was a second skin. Back on Ousia he would have abbandoned most of his armor, the climate was too hot for it. He would have gone too battle with only his chest armor strapped over his bare chest and with standard issue army trousers, but the extra inquisitorial training required to participate in this mission had put some more dicsipline in him.
He entered the mansion, and was stunned to see the interior. It wasn't like he expected it to look like judging from the outside. there was no luxury, the mansion's interior was converted to serve the the mission's purpose.
Soric put his stuff down, and found a seat. After sitting down, he thought about what had put him here. He wasn't supposed to be here. He should be back home, fighting those filthy greenskins out of the swamps. It wasn't his fault. Whatever they put him through, he would survive it and get back to his home. Soric was hel-bent on that.

I don't think we have to post every piece of equipment here. We RP an elite team of infiltrators (most are), so they'll be able to improvise some good disguise.

Fake moustaches and the like? sounds good too me
yes, ofcourse, I'll let my character go in full pack, with only a porn moustache as disguise. Nobody will notice the stormtrooper in their midst, for he isn't a stormtrooper, he is a porn actor in carapace armor and has a real big gun.
Now, jokes aside, yeah I imagined my character to wear some old rags, a scarf, etc... You know, we could try and look like a native gang.

I will never to able to think of a male pornstar (which thankfully isn't that often) without imagining them in Carapace armour and wielding a hellgun.

"Purge me! Purge me harder!"
Ask the pornsta-... I mean stormtrooper to purge you harder

). You don't even have to actually be part of the team (such as a member of the local PDF or Arbites). There's a lot you can do and the mission parameters also leave a lot to play with.
. Also, what Ordo is Remus a member of? Malleus I would suspect.)
I will edit accordingly.
. I will make amends-although, would it still be possible to have Aygapus as a 1st company veteran, just without his equipment?
