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.

Here is the Scandal.

I know what Thule's first name is - Davian.

Anyway, I may well be able to help with the ship pictures, but I'll do it tomorrow; likewise with the form. Still got that bloody essay!

Also, the ship is a bit too organised IMO. Should be a bit more loose.. and it needs a navigator to traverse the warp.

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?

maybe this one for the space ship?

Here's your ship. I've got dozens more in ma "databank" .





As for a ship name, how about The Scandal? Rather un-imperialistic and quite discriptive of the crew!

As for names (and a few other interesting things), you can use this: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/dhadvanced.html

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-

ah thanks for the help. Your ship is better. The ship shall be called The Skandal. editing OP.

Scrazza wrote:ah thanks for the help. Your ship is better. The ship shall be called The Skandal. editing OP.

I see no change .

Will you be posting the ship picure? I assume so..

/smiles

Oh wait, there is change. My bad. Just less change than I thought there'd be.

There, I updated it again.

Cool, but FYI it is spelled 'scandel'.

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."

Terminator armour can take a plasma blast..

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.

meh.

what about NPCs I know of them yea?

edited to scandal.

Scrazza wrote:meh.

edited to scandal.

You could just make up 5-15 or so named NPCs.. I mean I highly doubt more than 5 people will join this, let alone 20.

^
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.

equipment: Combat blade, Shotgun and Carapace armour (Adeptas Astartes Quietus pattern Mk1)

height: 8.7 ft

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.

I never said he became a blood claw he was trained as one but never received the implants.

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.

Having a loud mouth doesn't make someone worth listening too.


But listen to me or I'll get some Tyranids on you.

I AM THE HIVE MIND SQUATS TASTE NICE WITH BBQ SAUCE. oh and remember he went rouge so could use Xenos tech (like his armor )and NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE

YOU SAID THE NO-NO WORD OMG/gasp

I will now commence exterminatus on your house.


Night all.

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?
