From what players have done for the background, I determine thier stats upon, I let them PM me and work out what they will try to do etc. Then I do the dice rolls, and write up the results in a stroy kind of way. I find this way good, and I will try to make it better by suggestions etc. that are given. But I use this way because I belive it is fair for the fights that come up. I don't really see any problems in it, but if any disagree with me please let me know. Edit: Btw has anybody actually read the storyline event I did just earlier?

Yes, but you're not being that specififc, so far you have basically, shortened down, told me that I should either totally ditch the dice roll system, or ignore some if the things the rolls tell me.
I personally think that if I ditched the dice roll system it would be totally unfair.
e.g. If two players were fighting eachother all I do is determine who wins and which player get's killed, which is not really fair.

Fair? Who needs fair when you've created a totally awesome, 10,000 word event?  As I've said, do what's in the best interests of the roleplay. But at some point, people are going to start dying. Sure, plot armor will have some degree of influence on this, but at the end of the day it's your job to decide when our characters die.
And if you're going to do the dice system.. make the Reapers stronger.. for example, this is how I'd do my character (not basing this off of 40k humans):
Mikey
WS: 4
BS: 4
S: 5
T: 4
W: 3
I: 4

Okay, thank you Dark, that will make it a lot easier, I will use those Reaper stats for major Reapers, but a little weaker for minors. Flying ones will obviously have more agility and stuff. So, yeah if you haven't read my storyline event, basically the Reapers are now hunting for Cathal, and because of thier amazing senses and quite strong Psychic powers, they will find him quite quickly... ... oh, he's in Troy is he? That will make it very fun... Edit: Thank you again Dark, that gives me an idea. Please could everybody kindly give out thier stats in the way Dark has, and it has to be not overpowered or anything, and it should fit in a little bit with you characters info

If I remember correctly, FITZZ mentioned something about going to Troy..
Event
Sabrina suddenly felt that if she was to go to Troy, bad stuff(!) would happen. She shrugged and carried on, dismissing it and deciding it was just herself 'not being right in the head' again..

I'll just do it for y'all, because I feel I'm quite likely to do it fairly and correctly, and because it saves time.
Also, Kaiser, don't forget to put the map and new characters into the OP soon.

The two will fire at each other, but seeing as though they are both using lead balls for ammo damage will be done to neither one although Jimmy's clothes will have a hole in it and Ryan is already naked(save for the top hat), so he's all good.
The duel will continue until the song "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest begins to play in the background, at that point the two will begin to do the Charleston followed by the Dougie. After the song ends both sides will have their dancing skills judged by Andy, Colt, and Vegas with Vegas being the only one to judge Ryan's dancing because Andy and Colt refused to watch a naked man in a top hat boogie. Ryan will be infuriated with the results and sue for discrimination which will end up in the cancelling of the hit cable television show "Monster Mash".

The Reaper looked down at the shiny powder, which was the only thing which marked the other Reapers demise. It had only been a minor, which must have been why fell, because all minors have thier core badly exposed on the back of thier neck, while majors have thiers tightly concealed, and protected by inpenetrable material. Majors like him were almost unstoppable when encountering humans, and that was why they were made. To destroy humankind when the time was right. Suddenly, the Reaper noticed something. The mystical item that should have been there, was not. All Reapers carried them, to protect them from the vile and infectious humans. Obviously the one who destroyed the minor took it. This was bad. Very bad. The item was now infected, and it must be destroyed. It told the others telepathicly what it had discovered, and that they were now on the move. They would find this vile creature. They would destroy him...

They might need a bit of revision; between me and you. But on the whole, when you think about it, I think they're quite realistic. But 40k stats have never been a good way to represent reality.. which is why I oppose this system so greatly.
Might also want to add another characterstic: Luck (read: plot armor).

Each point (gained and lost through your decision and usage) allows something unlikely and beneficial to the character to happen. All characters start with 1.
Also, changing to the Lazarus stat style might be a good idea, or better a hybrid of that and the 40k stats.

A shadow began to follow them out of the fissure. The shadow waded along slowly, then began picking up speed like a train. Soon, it hit Dasha.

Then the gak hit the fan. Henry and his family were at Ground Zero when the Reapers emerged, and barely managed to escape Liverpool, using the subways to take his family to safety. When the government collapsed, Henry and his family took to the road, scraping out an existence by raiding abandoned stores and shops. Then came Simon. While Henry and his family slept, a gang of raiders made to kill and rob them. Waking with a blade to his neck, he kicked his attacker off of him, waking his family in preparation to run for it. However, Laura had been stabbed to death in her sleep, and Sarah was no where to be seen, then he turned, and saw him. A well-dressed man wearing a surgeon's mask and a leather vest held a gun to his daughter's head, and introduced himself as Simon.

He would only challenge people who had wronged in their life to games so he could have the fun of killing them and the fun of doing it in the name of justice.....sort of. He has recently been spending his time in the forest trying to kill reapers, in order to find one of the legendary mystical items that they sometimes carry.

Scars from some form of massive injury criss cross his chest, a doctor would say they look self inflicted, his left eye is a startling bright blue the other is a milky white, however he can still see out of it due to a wierd genetic disposition. His mouth is almost permanantly closed due to a bullet sawing through the nerves on the right side of his jaw, the wound slowly healing and so his speach is often short if at all spoken. A groove along his right cheek that reaches to his ear testament to the bullet wound. His powerful arms and strong legs suggest the build of someone who excels in bursts of strength that can be held and endured. His Leather Jacket has been lined with monofilament Titanium-Alloy fibres that increase its strength, his DPM pants come right out of a Pre-apocalyptic engagement, and his boots are military issue. His black singlet has seen its share of damage as its many patches attest. The final thing one would be drawn to upon seeing this grisiled veteran would be his length of black hair drain into a braid that reaches down his back, tipped at the end with 4 teeth taken from the mouth of one of his victims. Equipment: His Remigington 40cal sniper rifle has dozens of kill marks on its weathered stock and the silenced SMG on a bandolier sling has its share too. A pack filled with ammo and grenades is strapped to his back, the kidney strap adorned with grenades and clip on magazine holsters for his SMG, a thigh holster holds a Browning 9mm silenced pistol and a 15" combat knife is slipped into its holster on his boot. Backstory: Terence has seen fighting across all 7 continents in the service of various world powers, when the apocalypse stuck he was piloting a helicopter gunship that was engaging a rebel pirate ship of the coast of Peurto Rico fufilling a contract, he managed to rise above the breakers of the following Tsunami and head to the nearest refulling point that was still standing after the fall. He hates to tell others of his past but the one thing he often speaks of is his sighting of one of the worlds most lethal predators, he will then laugh and mutter under his breath, "I looked in a mirror" Other info: Loyal to few people except those who pay him he has a soft spot somewhere deep down that he nurtures but tells noone of. WS: 3 BS: 4 S: 5 T: 5 W: 3 I: 3(2) A: 2 LD: 8 Sv: 4+ Player Name: Ragnar4 Character Name: (Unknown) Fresh Meat is his current moniker. Although he answers to just about any name that includes the word "meat" in it. "meat head, dead meat.. etc." Char Age: 16 Char appearance: Meat is a smaller, yet wiry boy with dark hair and dark eyes. Several tattoos adorn his body, crudely worked into his skin. Many of the things that he wears have both a functional and drive towards an aesthetic. He wears a heavy chain around his waist as a belt, but it also functions as a handy weapon in a pinch. His hand-cuff bracelets, have been modified to link together to strangle someone, or perhaps slide down a wire. Meat is a very well put-together boy, who managed to escape a lot of scars of the body, yet replaced them with scars of the mind. His eyes bear the weight of a near decade of torment from his "protectors". Equipment: Heavy gauge chain belt, Modified handcuffs on his wrists, 2 old pieces of rusty sheet steel big enough to cover his torso held together by 2 leather straps that go over his shoulders. a back-pack with rations, ammo, water purifier tables, rope, a dirty mason jar of moonshine alcohol, a few polaroids of a man and woman who are presumably his parents holing him as a baby, or playing with him as a child. (these are his most treasured items in the world) Backstory: Meats memory starts 2 weeks after he was found by the escaped convicts on death row that escaped from some unknown penitentary located in "California" in the world before the Reapers. How far they had traveled until they met Meat, or how far they traveled afterwards, is unknown. The convicts acted like a gang, who affectionately referred to themselves as "55 Death Dealers" had no remorse for anyone outside of the confines of their clique, and Meat, being an interesting prospect for several reasons was protected by Juanita "Big Mama" Santos for obvious reasons. Not so obvious reasons led to Johnathan "Slide-knife" Chake becoming a mentor, protector to Meat in his formative years in the gang. Slide-knife was a pedohpile with a thing for pretty boys, so slide-knife took the best of care of Meat during the days, and the worst of care of Meat during the night. Finally after 5 years of murder, drugs, being ritually tatooed for his actions within the gang, being raped, running from the horrors of the night, etc. James "Big Gun" Popovich and Slide-knife got into an altercation over Meat like he was a piece of property. In the fight, Big Gun broke Slide-knife's neck. Meat knew what was going on, Big Gun's old woman had fresh bruises and cuts on a nearly weekly basis, and they usually showed up at night. He wasn't about to become Big Gun's property, so he offered some of his home-made shine to Big Gun and after getting him sufficiently sloshed, Meat lashed out with his chain, snapping Big-guns leg in two at the knee, and dodged bullets and thrown knives as he stole off into the night escaping the "55 Death Dealers"... for now. Most of Meat's tattoos are the prison kind, teardrops for men he's killed, spiderweb on the elbow, two playing card 5's on his chest for his old captors. He abbhores them. He's even gone so far as to scrub one off with sand-paper, but he caught a nasty infection that he barely overcame on his own. He also has a paralyzing fear of having his head underwater. He was seriously abused a lot using water "treatements" WS: 3 BS: 3 S: 3 T: 3 W: 3 I: 3 A: 2 LD: 7 Sv: -- Player Name: Evaelc Character Name: William “Gramps" Graham Character Age: 45 Character Appearance: Will has been around a while and as such has a receding grey hairline. His face, slightly wrinkled is angular and narrow. Standing at about 5’11” he is of medium build. Equipment: Steyr rifle with under slung grenade launcher, Backpack with; medical kit, surgeon’s tools, flares, ammo, rations Backstory: Will was a medical doctor before the so-called apocalypse. Living in New Zealand he was lucky enough to survive, however his grandson was not. With nothing left for him he joined the national army or what was left of it. He was assigned as Medical aid for his company and at first he was laughed at but after several missions and near death experiences of some of his company members he became a valued member thanks to his medical experience. Even in the heat of a gunfight he could keep his cool and help out. Thanks to this he was requested to work for the British however after his flight was high jacked he was lucky to escape from the plane before it crashed. Now he is stranded in the middle of London with next to nothing to survive. WS: 3 BS: 4 S: 4 T: 4 W: 3 I: 3 A: 2 LD: 8 Sv: --

BIC: Cathal sat down in his chair, opposite the mayor of Troy. He had been called there after hearing rumours about the item he carried and thought about checking him out just in case.
"So, Cathal did you say it was?" asked the mayor.
"Yes," replied Cathal simply.
"It has come to my attention that you posses one of the reapers artefacts,"
"Yes I have,"
"How did you obtain it?"
"Didn't the guard tell you? I killed a reaper. It nearly killed me. End of story."
Cathal hadn't got time for this, he was growing impantient with all his pointless questions. He just wanted to return home. He looked around the room and noticed that for a post apocalyptic settlement it was reasonably organised. There was a desk of sorts made of scrap iron and walls contsructed out of wood and metal that looked like it was thrown together at the last minute. There was a tattered old union jack flag hanging from the far wall and dying flowers that looked suspiciously like carrot tops in clay pots on the desk. There was also a once-comfy looking chair behind the desk which had obviously seen better days. Standing in the corner of the room was an athletic looking man wearing a cowboy costume. He smirked at the sight of him but realized he had more important things to do than laugh at a cowboy.
"Who are you?" he asked the mayor, "And why do you have a cowboy standing in the corner of the room? He looks ridiculous." The man walked to him angrily and looked like he was a bout to hit him before the mayor stopped him,
"Calm down now Swift," so that was his name,
"That sonofabitch insulted my appearance," he argued against the mayor, who seemed to have more authority than him.
"Now, now, just calm down," he stammered, intimidated by the large man, "Save your energy, you never know when the bandits will attack,"
"You and your damn bandits," he replied.
"Hello? Getting bored over here." Cathal said, irritated.
"Yes of course," the mayor said and turned away from the large man,
"I am mayor Charles Marlow of Troy and I just wanted to ask you a few questions about your item,"
"I know," replied Cathal who was getting pretty annoyed about this now. Charles ignored his rudeness and proceeded to ask,
"How did you kill it, what did you do?"
"I stabbed it in the neck,"
"And that killed it?"
"It took a few shots but yeah,"
"And what does your item do?"
"No idea, haven't tried using it yet,"
"And do you know how to use it?"
"Something along the lines of sticking out my hand dramatically and hoping something happens," Cathal joked.
"Eugh," Charles sighed, this was going to take a while.....

The duel will continue until the song "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest begins to play in the background, at that point the two will begin to do the Charleston followed by the Dougie. After the song ends both sides will have their dancing skills judged by Andy, Colt, and Vegas with Vegas being the only one to judge Ryan's dancing because Andy and Colt refused to watch a naked man in a top hat boogie. Ryan will be infuriated with the results and sue for discrimination which will end up in the cancelling of the hit cable television show "Monster Mash".

@Devastator, you did say you only had "some military training, but then again I suppose it should be 4 for BS Also, Dark, just noticed that blood reaper has a 4 for BS, when he doesn't use guns, so I think that should change a little, but otherwise I think you did a great job

Delta stalked the streets of London in serch of shelter for the night as Bandits and Brutes had driven him from the Church by driving a truck through the Churches doors and had nearly crushed him under the truck , he had escaped but had taken a shot to the leg and was not up for a encounter. He broke open the door of a small building and rested against the wall. He heard the sounds of Bandit bikers driving wildly in the streets of london and the scretch of trucks and mussle cars.

It ain't in your profile, so it ain't in your stats. Should've thought about it before you posted your character, eh?

He used to be a mercenary, in case you hadn't noticed.

Your character was a game enthusiast and an athletic (you have I5), not a soldier. What's more, Blood Reaper's character has 13 years on yours.

It seems I missed out two characters. Going to edit them into my stats posts now. When I'm done, put it and the map in the OP, if you will Kaiser.
