Private_Joker wrote:Name: Dean Aubrey

Gender: Male

Position: Lieutenant, 2nd Sabre Company.

Appearance: Constantly wearing a respirator due to irratation from the toxic pollution caused by the factories. Dressed in a trench coat wearing the black officers cap with blue brim. Usually carrying a customised laspistol.

Background: Most of Aubrey's family do not live till the age of 40. This is due to "Drebbin's Lung", a disease brought on constant exposure to the toxic fumes produced from the mass factories. This has resulted in him wearing a respirator or else suffer from a painful reaction to his enviroment.

Personality: A man of few words, some see him as strange and inhuman due to his masked appearance. Rumored to be cold hearted and to ahve sent scores of men to their deaths. Disliked by many in his company, but still respected for getting the end result by any means.

Sounds cool.

Lol, this is a briefing. Choose your mission and start it.

Ok.

Are we all going to the same place?

Private_Joker wrote:Are we all going to the same place?

Nope, choose what you want to do and get briefed on it.

Well are we all in the same company?

Private_Joker wrote:Well are we all in the same company?

Yes, but different squadrons and platoons and such get different orders.

So you have confused me in IC thread it's 13th regiment and in OOC it's 13th company.

Posted.

Hooray! Cultists!

Indeed...

I'L BURN THEM ALL!

Well then, I'm leaving.

Alright let me get this straight, we are 2nd Sabre platoon, this is the 13th company of the the 13th regiment known as the Iron serpeants?

I'm confused too!

OK, I'll lay this down.

We're the 13th Company of the 13th Regiment. The Platoons are not set in stone, as you may want to seperate into others, i.e so we don't have to follow your orders Joker.

Hmmm, I shall demote myself back down to sergeant.

What about my post?

Made my first post, mainly backstory but I will add to it in a second.

There's limitless ideas for you all to choose from, yet the only games I've seen with any amount of success and skilled players in a long time is the games you guys have been doing, which are all based off the swathe of "join this army" threads we had.

You could do a Blood Quest style game, or have a team of xenos exiles end up seeking a rare relic and racing against time to retrieve it.

Or just simply do a game that isn't 40k once in awhile. Otherwise it just seems like the same pattern with each game to me, except with different characters. Based off of what you lot told me about the EC game, it seems like the NL game is following a similar trend to that one.

It's just the same setting in my eyes, members of an army going to a world and fighting with some weird stuff along the way.

I'm just really, really uninspiring. Basically, it all follows the trend of Imperial Army sign ups.

If you have an idea, you could make a thread...

Sure I could, and in fact I've already got a few idea threads up. They're on my site though, along with the other two games I'm in.

Position: Hellhound Commander

Appearance: Short but stocky, his arms are like tree trunks making him look slightly top heavy. He always wears a helmet instead of a cap, due to him banging his head too much on the hellhouds hatches, He also frequntly wears little clothes, sometimes just going into battle in his underwear due to the tremendous heat the tank generates. he does have a ceremonial uniform but that is old and ripped and has oil spills all over it, he prefers to fix his tank rather than spend time standing still for the brass. He always has an autogun near at hand too.

Background: Coming from aworking familly, he decided one day he didn't want to be sent to work in the factories, so he signed up for the army instead, firstly bieng put in the PDF. After hearing all the horror stories about PDF's from an infantry soldier he requested a transfere and became a tanker. Having served for 8 years as a driver he was promoted to staff sergeant and given overall command of a hellhound. His crewmates frequntly question his decisions as he has some unorthodox practices, but they respect him for bieng likeable.

Personality: A sarcastic, cheerfull personality, he always tries to see the humour in any given situation, he likes to talk and will talk to anyone who buys him alcohol, he's generous too, and also likes to trade on the black market, lookign for unauthized upgrades for his tank. However, when gak goes down, he's always ready and determined to win.
