Nikev, that's an excellent idea if I am reading it correctly. Are you saying that there are main Factions(ie Fluvians, Nucians, Skullscreamers) and then RPers can say that they are either in those factions or in a regiment affiliated with one of those faction.

For example if John decided he wanted to join as a character of the Madeupians he could say that he is part of a regiment that is on the Fluvian's side without being an actual Fluvian. I think that's what you were getting at, but I want to be sure.

Halonachos watched in delight as Nikev signed the papers that remained from the package that the Bringer had burned. Halonachos snatched the signed paper scraps and read as much as he could before pressing an intercom on his desk.

"Send in a techpriest." Halonachos said still deciphering the papers.

"Immediately General." the voice replied.

The Bringer began to chuckle to himself as he went back into the back room to relax. Halonachos smiled behind the papers while Nikev looked up at him from a prone position.

"The techpriest will be here in a few minutes," Halonachos put the charred paper in a drawer before leaning against the desk, "why don't you make yourself comfortable?"

The Bringer had broken out into full blown laughter and they could hear him from behind the closed door. Halonachos turned, startled as much as Nikev was.

"Sounds like you guys have problems." Nikev smiled through his pain.

Halonachos turned back to Nikev with worry still showing on his face. His expression turned from worry to his normal attitude within seconds of looking back at Nikev. Halonachos then approached Nikev slowly, his boots clacking on the floor. Nikev prepared himself for physical punishment. This time Halonachos pulled Nikev up gently instead of manhandling him.

"He's fething insane." Halonachos said quietly to Nikev, "We're trying to fight the taint...trying hard. We're all dead men Nikev but I'm going to take this fething hill back before that happens."

Nikev was somewhat surprised by the change of attitude he had just seen in Halonachos. He then noticed a slight twitch in Halonachos' eye and then the fanged smile returned as Halonachos tossed Nikev back to the floor. He watched as Halonachos grabbed his head and began to walk towards his desk, a whoosh of air announced the arrival of the servitor.

"You called for me?" the techpriest wheezed.

Halonachos took the paper out of his drawer and handed it to the techpriest, one hand pressed to his forehead. "Take this and do what it says."

The techpriest glanced at the paper before nodding. His servo arm whined into action as it picked Nikev up by his collar and the techpriest began to walk Nikev to the medical bay to fulfill the contract.

Halonachos sat down at his desk and rubbed his temples.

You read correct captain.


Nikev should have made him put on the contract, 'a painless surgery for new legs' as The servitor tossed him on the table and began working away.

Sharp,burning pains screamed throughout his body as his new legs were attached.


The Burning Nucian Knights sat around the hanger of their flag ship as they awaited their commander.

"Does anyone else think its hot in here?" asked on of the knights.

"Look at yourself." replied the captain

"O......yea.....I forgot"

(btw) just a wee bit of fluff for the skullscreamers, theyre an offshoot of the origional sons of horus legion but they now work as bodygards for high powered chaos lords and sorcerors, also they excell at planetary assault and defence

Alrighty then, it looks like some of those 'choose A or B' RPs are going down so look for something in about a week.

Right now I'm busy celebrating a fantastic Packers Super Bowl win.

Lol, will keep the old eyes open.....


Congragulations on your team being victorious.

Okay guys, I'm going to post some of the story I have for the fluff of the RP. I want to make sure that the people who inspired me have a say in how the fluff and RP will work out.


The sun burned a bright orange as it crested the horizon, concrete bunkers lost their gray color in favor of the sun's own. Shadows in the shape of towers lengthened from the barrels of Basilisk batteries and the assortment of armored vehicles sitting in wait of orders. In the distance scheduled barrages woke the guardsmen waiting for their shift of duty. The shells fell short, they always fell short, the forces of Chaos just loved to tease the guardsmen with the very item they wanted.

The planet of Netat was an agri-world located in Segmentum Obscurus, it was used to Chaos raids and as such they had built a large fortress on the largest plateu the planet could offer. Solid walls rose from the now blackened rocks and bastions holding stationary cannons belched their payloads near the Imperial Guard encampment. It was a sad state of affairs for the planet and the now skeletal trophies that hung from the walls danced with the wind to mock the guardsmen who could only watch on as the bright yellow and red plumes of the explosions were swallowed by the dark brown of the ground it had just wounded.

The 'Tall Tower', as they had called it, was the PDF's bastion to hold off any raiders who would occasionally visit the planet for plunder and slaves. A year ago a massive Chaos force was reported in a nearby valley, the majority of the PDF forces moved out to engage the Chaos forces in the Valley. When the force reached the valley they assaulted the archenemy, only to kill slaves who had been tied to the ground. Before the PDF commander could realise who they were attacking, the Chaos Sorceror Kelthad used the freshly spilt blood to summon an act of the Chaos gods. Boiling blood and tissue poured from behind the PDF and washed them into the valley, their bodies and vehicles were smashed against the rocks and any PDF unfortunate enough not to be killed by being crushed against the rocks drowned as their skin began to peel from their bodies.

Garbled reports and screams filtered to the Tall Towers as Chaos terminators and assault marines under the 'Skullscreamers' chapter charged through the halls crushing the PDF who remained underfoot. They successfully took the bastion within ten minutes and those who did not convert to their side were lined up along the edge of the walls. At the call of Kelthad they were simultaneously pushed off the edge, the nooses around their necks snapped their spines as they hung.

Within a month reports of the attack had managed to reach the Sector's Commander and the nearest Imperial Guard regiment was diverted to retake Netat.The Fluvian 37th mechanised arrived on planet and managed to reach the edges of the Tall Towers before being pushed back to their current position. The 10 months of stalled fighting and failed attacks had taken their toll against them. They ran out of medicines and soon the taint of Chaos began to affect them, mutations were dealt with according to the imperial creed at first but the rate of mutation increased to the point of being the norm. Commissars were unable to execute the men under their command as they began to exhibit their own mutations.

The Fluvian commander, General Gregor Nussberg had reached his position after the execution of the previous commander General Maximillian Findet and was used to his own mutation and those of his men but he wouldn't allow the forces of Chaos an easy victory. He would normally walk amongst his men but today was different, he had petitioned for reinforcements before the mutations had affected the remaining members of his regiment and today he had found out that they would be arriving within the day.

"Commissar Brent," Gregor said as he removed his peaked cap within the war room. "I am sure you carried out my orders?"

"Yes general." the commissar responded, his now yellowed eye moved on its own as he spoke. "The men are doing their best to cover all mutations, the troops with only slight blemishes are prepared to greet the reinforcements, and the medics are busy removing excess limbs from those unlucky few."

"Now its just us who need to hide how we've changed." Gregor sighed, his own mutation had only caused his teeth to grow fang-like in appearance. Gregor affixed his rebreather and remembered how he had ordered all of his mento wear them after they witnessed the first mutation. He had hoped they would stop the spread, a hope he lost in a month. Gregor watched as Commissar Brent affixed an eyepatch to cover his unruly eye and patted down his tattered uniform.
....................

The Nucians' troopships began landing in wilted fields and spilled forth their cargo. The Nucian guardsmen noticed disheveled troopers holding large signs with directions to where they would set up camp and where they would keep their vehicles. They also noticed that every trooper had warts or boils on their hands and faces.

"Ugly sons of guns, I wonder what their women look like." one Nucian trooper remarked as he unloaded his pack.

"What are we going to do with their Commissars?" Commissar Brent asked as he looked through a window at the bulky landers.

"Hopefully nothing," General Gregor said as he took a mug of caffeine in his hand before remembering his rebreather was on, "if they find out we may have some friendly fire issues.".



In this RP there will be three(3) main factions that your character will be affiliated with, these three factions are the Fluvian IG, the Nucian IG, and the Skullscreamers chapter of Chaos Marines.

The Fluvians are seasoned veterans, but suffer from slight mutations due to prolonged exposure to the forces of Chaos, the Nucians are the fresh reinforcements who are mutation free and are eager to fight, the Skullscreamers are a chapter of CSM who excell at planetary assault and defense and mainly work to protect high ranking Chaos Lords or Sorcerors. Each of these main affiliations have smaller companies that are attached to them so if you want to have the characteristics of a Fluvian trooper, but don't want to be a Fluvian you can say that your character is part of a company that was attached to the regiment.

You can be anything within any of the armies besides a commanding officer; squad leaders, tank commanders, stormtroopers, troopers, specialists, CSM, heretics/traitors, and even Chaos terminators are all available roles(if you have a question about a possible rank I may have forgotten about it so PM me if you want to be something besides what I listed).

Your choice of character does not increase or decrease your chances of survival, only your actions decide how long you will live. Because there is the potential of players being on opposing sides I will try to guide players away from each other with events. However, there may be times when I am unable to prevent opposing sides from meeting in these cases I will use dice and chance to determine what happens. Each player will have the statistics of a terminator with three wounds and a storm bolter, I will roll and see who wounds first. The first to be wounded will lose the encounter and will fall back, if the player should lose all three wounds their character will die(if you want to make another character after your character's death PM me).

I will do my best to allow you free reign in terms of the RP, and any serious arguments should be brought to my attention. If a serious argument breaks out in the RP I may be forced to punish the instigator by removing one wound, if this leads to character death the character will die. I will monitor the RPing and will hopefully announce an event every 3-4 weeks or on a 'as needed' basis depending on the RP. The events will be announced on Monday afternoon and the characters will PM me their responses, I will read the responses on Friday and start writing the results on Saturday. I will then check to see if any new responses have come in on Sunday and make any finishing touches or changes. If an RPer doesn't respond by this time I will do my best to match their event actions with previous RPs. (PM me if you take issue with an event concerning your character and we may be able to work something out). This way the RP should be able to start on Monday in response to the event and so on.

So, what do you guys think? Tell me what I need to add or change so I can work on it.

This sounds great, couple of minor qualms however

its a Legion, rather than a chapter

and what if the chaos player has a blissgiver? or a powerfist? usually instant deathing???

Okay, I will change the chapter designation. As far as instant death weapons go... I'm iffy. I don't want to limit the player's choices but you do bring up a good point. I think that I'll have to be creative in the case of Player vs Player interactions, after all even Ibram Gaunt survived a bolt round to the chest. Not sure about it though, why did you have to make it tougher?

sorry its just my favorite all time weapon is the blissgiver and it would be a shame to have it same effectiveness as a storm bolter

Don't think of it as being as effective as a storm bolter, think of it as the total chance of the person using the weapon and the other person reacting to it.

???? makes no sense. Please explain

Just like in the game, a cover save doesn't mean that a bush magically absorbed a plasmagun shot. A passed cover save can mean that the shooter missed the target, the target was able to duck behind cover in time, or the shooter decided not to shoot in the first place because he thought he would miss.

The stormbolter against a terminator armor means that the players will have a better chance of survival against other players. I'll use an example:

Player A has flak armor and a blissgiver, Player B has Power armor and a bolter.

For all intents and purposes of creating an event Player A gets a wound on Player B, but doesn't kill Player B outright. I would need to find a reason to explain why a character with an instant kill weapon didn't kill the other player.

I could say that Player A charged at Player B, but Player B was able to knock Player A away and ran before player A could use his weapon. I could also say that Player B managed to dive behind something before Player A could attack him.

The wounds aren't necessarily wounds in the RP, but the number of chances the player can escape death.

Wound 1= Player managed to hide behind cover.
Wound 2= Player's armor saved the day.
Wound 3= Player is flayed alive.

or
Wound 1= The sun was in the shooter's eyes.
WOund 2= The shot missed by a mile.
Wound 3= Player explodes after swallowing a grenade.

I hope that clears it up a bit for you.

wee bit

but the weapon will be normal strength vs midgits right?

(midgits is my general term for plebs)

I'll have to say yes to that, penalizing a person based on the character they choose is kind of mean and off-putting. Besides I don't have the skills to balance it out even if I did.

thnx, ill look frwrd to joining

I look forward to having you join.

*mr burns finger tap* excellent then we shall rule this website with overpoweringly epic role play posts, MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Just don't discover any mutations or else you'll get a laser tatoo removal to the back.

Besides the RP was all just a clever ploy to distract you while I take the hill! Really no, but its still my hill.

Halo owns the hill, the whole hill, and nuthin but the hill.

All Hail halonachos!
