hi there, after reading some other RPG's, I was wondering if any would b interested in a Necromunda roleplay. It all takes place in a medium sized settlement called Bloodshot town, somewhere in the underhive. players take control of 1 named character belonging to any of he necromunda houses. ( Esher, Orlock, Goliath, Delaque, Van Saar and Cawdor) you can also be a ratskin, bounty hunter or underhive scum. participants should post an enrty like this one:

Name: Soric Ghast
age: 22
house: Delaque
rank: ganger
appearance: Bald, pale, slightly muscled, (see my avatar)
starting equipment: Knife, autopistol.
Bio: starting as a youngster rolling with a Delaque gang called the Crooked Vultures, Soric chose the life of ganger rather than work himself to death in one of the smelteries.after running with the vultures for an odd 3 years, he's now seen as a normal ganger, an ordinary street thug. After all these years he's still rolling with the Crooked Vultures.
Speciality: gunslinging

characters shouldn't get weapons like power sword in the beginning of the roleplay, they should get better weapons over time. Also, some blokes need to be gangleaders. I don't wanna be 1. The 1st roleplayers who want to join they're chosen house can be a gang leader.

hope you all wanna join.

Could i be a kroot

oke that's fine, maybe there are other players who want to be kroot, and then you can be the clan leader.

just post your entry here and you could be anyone you like Ghosty. Including Kroot.

Righty Ho's.

Name: A'rk 'one eye'
Age: 13
House: .....Kroot?
Rank: Hunting party leader
Appearance: A tall, and heavily mutated species of kroot, who has dreadlocks, teeth, and large musclulature.
Starting Equipment: 2x Swords, Shotgun ( kapow)
Bio: A'rk got in a fight with an unclassified creature in the bottom of the hive. After consuming his kills flesh, he began to undergo massive changes to his system. Quickly taking command, this relatively young leader has led his hunting party to Bloodshot town, to find work.

looking good Ghosty. Now we need more participants before we begin.

This sounds fun. We need MORE!

I'll join, though I've never played one of these RPGs before, so I may need some help. Can I be a kroot? They're cool and I don't want to be a leader.

Also, is it ok that I can only come on in the evenings?

Thanks,
Grimm

Hehe, i'll help

fill in the roster, you can be in my gang ^_^

Yep. I'll have it done in the next few minutes. I'm currently watching Dr Who on TV so I'll wait until that finshes and then I'll get it written up. Can I be the Heavy? If yes, what weapons? Heavy Stubber or Bolter Maybe?

Name: Varnak
Age: 52
House: Kroot
Rank: Heavy
Appearance: A Big, Burly, Muscular Kroot. Varnak is larger than most of the Kroot in his Kindred. This is because he has a hsitory in fighting orks (Explained Later). Over time, Varnak's skin changed to the grey of the other Necromunda Kroot, though it still has a greenish tint. He also has long quills coming from the back of his head.
Starting Equipment: Heavy Stubber, Antique Crossbow
Bio: Varnak was once a member of a Kroot Kindred from far across the stars. These had a history in figting orks, which made them large and aggresive. Vernak was exiled after he killed a member of the Shaper council. He quickly fled the planet with his companion, Sek, a Kroot bird. He arrived on Necromunda, and eventually found the other Kroot working there. He was always treated as an outcast, so when A'rk tried to take over, Varnak immediatly followed his cause.

Edit
I've changed it a bit because I thought my Bio was a bit lacking. I've also exchanged my Shotgun for a Crossbow, because I think it's quite fluffy.

I'd like to join as well but I too have never played one of these RPG games. If someone could PM me the rules (if there are any) or show me a link I'll be very grateful.

Anyway, onwards.

Name: Erad Tinper
Age: 34
Rank: Ganger
House: a bit of a loner but has always agreed with house Cawdors religious ways.
Appearance: red-faced, unkempt hair, a single eye and a large scar across his face.
Starting Equipment: "Not quite" long shot lasgun and a vest of tattered, burned, bullet-riddled, slightly chewed flak armour
Bio: Erad was conscripted into the imperial guard when he was 18. He spent most of his life fighting until four years ago when he lost an eye, not to an enemy, but in a drunken fight with an officer. He was sentenced to be shot for hitting a superior officer but escaped with his war worn flak armour and a battered lasgun. He has spent the last 3 years running from both the army and the enemies of the emperor killing his fair share of both during that time. Fate has dictated that he ends back up where he began, in a pub with a tab as big as a Baneblade and a gambling debt as high as the stakes he plays. In the guard he was considered a good shot, drink hasn't quite helped the skill but he remains a decent shooter.
Despite his outlawed existance he still wished to help civillians when he sees them in trouble.He oftern explains it nothing but a refelx from when he was in the guard but maybe it is something more...
Skill: Marksman

This is gonna be Kool!

As for colourings, id say maybe a mottled grey with a cream underbelly? And for genetic properties (mines already a whacked out mutant) i'd say living in the underhive eating malnutritioned gangers will have left its mark, so probably we would have less muscle mass? Ofc, its not really a problem, as Kroot are naturally strong, but, we arent able to rip our way through power armour with our bare hands anymore...

As for other mutations in the stock, the quills have changed in certain species into more tentacle like dreadlocks. This is a recessive genetic trait, so normal quills will occur just as much.

I'd also say that cos Kroot are very tribalesque, and with a hint of american indian, we might be good with the ratskin population?

Oh, and im still the youngest. Yay!

Are we meant to use are real ages, because I'm not really 52? I'm 14. I just thought it was a good age for a grizzled Kroot Veteran.

Anyway, I've edited my character a bit because I thought my Bio was a bit small. I hope it's ok.

oh it's oke, you do not have to use your real age. .And i think I'll be a kroot too. Just to make things simple.

Name: Bokar
age: 39
House: kroot
rank: Tracker
appearance: dark green skinned. Blue tribal markings. Yellow armor platings on left shoulder. Dreadlocks.
Starting equipment: kroot rifle and scimitar
Bio: only just joined the kroot gang after he was banished to necromunda by his elders. For what, he would not speak about. He is very traditional, favoring the traditional weapons of the kroot above the weapons of mankind others would carry with them. Bokar is a good shot and a good fighter. He refuses to eat anything what changes his DNA.
skill: stealth, swordsmanship

so this is my new entry, I'm not soric ghast anymore.

oh crap I just realized, Kroot don't speak like humans. They have their own language of clicking and slithering sounds.......

Maybe we've eaten so much human, that out genes have changed to allow human speech. I'm sure I've read somewhere that it's possible.

Also , according to Lexicanum, a Kroot named Gorok managed to talk with Ciaphus Cain, so I think it'll be ok if we can talk with the Necromundians.

On another note, we need more humies. So far we only have one.

oke that makes sense.
we need more people that's true but lets wait for another 3 days or so. More people will show up.

Im not using my real age

Im just glad my character's the youngest. That way he can be naive

Kroot fluff specifies that they have an incredibly advanced understanding of languages, and can learn new ones ver. fast.

that is, until me and grimm, the older and more experienced kroot, plan an uprising, and dethrone the young kroot clan leader A'rk

Ahh you just try that boyo, i got a couple of suprises up my metephorical sleeve. Plus, Grimm is loyal to me

"a few tricks" ey? hmmmmm..... might that be a pet genestealer?
(oh and I am loyal to you too, just joking around.)

hehehe.....

*stares accusingly*

I'm curious how this RPG will end up.

Yeah, I'm loyal. Whether Little Sek is or not is another question. Crazy Little bird.

I'm also wandering how this'll work. What do we actually have to do?

We should keep an eye on Sek. Dangerous little fellow...... murders will happen, believe me.

it just starts when someone post a story or begins a conversation and the rest of us play along.

I'm wandering, since there isn't too much interest in human characters, we should base this mainly about Kroot in the underhives of Necromunda. Just a thought though. It's up to you Scrazza, it's your thread.

I was thinking the same, but we have to keep Wizard12 in mind, he's still human.
