Well, if you check back through your inbox, I think you'll eventually find a PM explaining what you can do. Alternatively, I could just send it to you again. *sends PM*

Yeah, i can't find it, could you send it again please?
Marcus leaned back into the wooden chair. His tent was dimly lit, only a small lantern gave light. Outside the percussive booms of artillary and tank duels echoed in the night. Not that it was really night inside the hulk. Just a period of time when the hulk had rotated so no light could shine through windows or, a period of time where any remaining systems switched to a night cycle or sometimes just a period of time when the soldiers were told to sleep.
He sat polishing the new shotgun, thinking back to Paxx, and looking forward to the oncoming battle...
------ 6 years previous --------
It was hell on earth.
Men screamed in both rage and fear as hellgun bolts screamed overhead and the resistance line was raked with support weapons fire which had either been dragged up the gully or mounted on top of light armour.
Marcus carefully picked his shots. He was running low on ammo for his bullpup compact autogun; with it's suppressor removed each shot cracked out with the sound of thunder, but amidst this carnage the sound was lost. On Marcus' right a man stood to fire, only to have his head explode as a well aimed, or just lucky, hellgun bolt turned his head inside out. The heat of the shot seared and burnt much of the blood and brains but still the trench was splattered with the man's mind.
An overly adventurous tank of unrecognizable design charged up the slope, only to be first immobilized, then destroyed, as flanking anti-tank gun positions blasted it's side armour. The first shots blowing off it's tracks, then a killing blow which hit the engine. The whole armoured machine suddenly caught fire as burning promethium spurted out of the damaged engine. The crew screamed but within seconds the ammunition caught fire and the whole tank exploded quite spectacularly.
Over on the other side of the pocket, the tank was reaping a grim harvest as all it's guns poured fire into the steep gully. Musclemen and skitari alike fell to the power of it's twin exterminator autocannons and the three heavy bolters attached to it.
There was a clanking noise and Marcus looked down suddenly. At his feet was a fragmentation grenade. He dropped his gun and dived sideways covering his head. He hit the duckboards of the trench and...
Nothing, absolutely nothing, the hell of battle still continued above him. Marcus shakily looked at the grenade. The Emperor must really protect as the safety had failed to come off and was stuck. A bad grenade. Manufacture failure. A dud. Call it what you like but Marcus was still alive. He let out a dry chuckle that dried up quickly. If they were close enough throw a grenade into the trench, then how close were they?! Marcus jumped to his feet, swinging his side arm of a small calibre stub pistol to point at the advancing skitari, but they were falling back. That truly was a miracle...
------ Present -------
Marcus sat up, he had felt something; a strong presence. Normally his ability only allowed Marcus to detect the presence of those near but this was far away, but powerful, really powerful.
Marcus frowned, he was starting to think there was more to this battle than the orks and humans...
Ooc: not amazing I know but Marcus' flash backs to paxx are almost at an end.
Edit: spelling

I find it amusing that an Eldar is offering to help a man whose entire life is devoted to killing Xenos and is accompanied by five Deathwatch - including a Librarian who is far more psychically powerful than Marcus.

She's a Farseer who's been mind-waring for a very, very long time, so she at least thinks she'll be able to suppress them both, plus she doesn't really care about her own survival, only that of her race. If helping these deathwatch brings the destruction of the hulk closer, she'll gladly work with them to achieve it.
*sigh*
20 days and still going with writer block.
I am starting to believe that it would be best to drop out (again ) of this just to prevent me from slowing this thing down.

Character bio/background story: though his method of finding rare STCs is deemed heretical by some (though the high lords of terra granted him clemency, the disturbing truth is: he employs Xenos. hundreds of xenos mercenaries readily work for Deltrian for their preferred payment, whether it be sentient flesh,as many teeth as they can carry in a bag,land, resources to save their craft-worlds or imperial scrip or weapons, he hires them. Orks, kroot, tau,vespids or evan eldar,. As long as he pays they will fight.

Dude, I'm not sure words can properly express how over-powered and impossible this character is. He has about 20 weapons, a non-existant rank, an unexplained height, absolutely rediculous force under his command. Hell most of his character contradicts itself (Ordo Xenos, but employs Xenos? Is an Inquisitor and Tech Priest? ).
Haven't seen you down here in the depths of the Chain Fiction board, so I assume this is the first roleplay you've tried to join.
One thing you should know: Roleplay is about fun and interesting characters and story lines, not creating the most insane, impossible and overpowered character ever to have existed.
I'll have to spend a good half-hour or so picking that mess of a character form apart at a more conveniant time. No offense dude, really, but that's insane. I suggest PMing some of the other players, such as Scrazza or Warork for advice and help with your character.

Don't multi-post dude, just edit your previous post.
Tip - the shift key is your friend.
Dude, you don't need to write every single weapon you plan on "finding" and there's no way he'll use them all. Look at the other character profiles for an idea of what's acceptable.
