**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

(Hey blood reaper, I may join this one, but I'll do my char sheet tomorrow if that is alright

)

**Mordoskul**

I shall be playing Kayln, a Death Jester hopeful.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

Name: Zade
Story: No memory of his past life, as in a battle with the Chaos a few years ago, he lost in his memory due to severe brain damage. Now he tries to make a new life in guarding the Black Library. He is recognised by all who are his allies.
Personality: Kind-hearted, but serious and tactical.
Plans: Good, to defend the Library with his Harlequin brethren

**WARORK93**

Character creation:
Name: Doyl Harker
Story: Ever since doyl was a child he was raised in the schola. Soon after he was inducted, he was fastracked into the stormtrooper class and excelled in all aspects of his training. he went on to come to prominenece fighting all manner of the Imperium's enemies but showed great prowess and resistance against the powers of Chaos. As such he was recruited into the Inquisitorial Stormtrooper legions and come upon by Inquisitor Czevak just a few years ago. He's been a part of the Inquisitor's retinue ever since.
Personality: hard stare, stallwart and devout, used to command, quick decision maker, thinks on his feet and gets the job done.
Wargear: hellgun, hellpistol, krak and frag grenades, carapace armor.
Good or Evil plans: to protect and serve Inquisitor Czevak and his retinue in their quest for the Black Library.

**yeroc500**

Name: Vizmar
Story: A CSM very interested in the black library. Came from the black dragons chapter. Was captured by dark eldar and had his bone blades removed. Joined Ahrihman when he was rescued by him.
Personality: Volitale, untrusting, backstabber, and a outcast
Wargear: Bolter, Chainsword, Grenades, and Power armor
Evil plan: Has a secret plan to steal a certain book from the BL and regrow his bone blades and also exact revenge on the imperium.

**-Cypher-**

Character Creation:

Name: Tarwin Grimmok

Story: Tarwin was born on an Ecclesiarch planet to wealthy parents. Rebellious from a young age he joined the guard to escape the well-structured life of his home world. He saw a couple years of action in various sectors and campaigns until, when acting under Inquisitorial direction to cleanse a planet infested with Chaos insurrection, Tarwin's unit was utterly destroyed. He was the only one to live, and was saved by the Inquisitor himself and his retinue, but not before showing considerable combat prowess in the presence of the Inquisitor. As such he was immediately assigned to Czevak's personal Stormtrooper accompaniment.

Personality: Brash, easy-going, and a jokester. He tries to keep it light and seems to see the best in things. Sometimes this shows ignorance, but in Tarwin's case that's the only thing that keeps him sane: Faith in the inherent good of Humanity, and ignorance of the strength Humanity's enemies really possess.

Wargear: Level 1
Hellgun
Hell Pistol
Grenades
Carapace Armor

Good Plan: Follow the Inquisitor's orders, and stay alive. But don't forget the noble ethics that faith in the Emperor has instilled in him over the years.

What's this? The PAN system?

**Mordoskul**

Name: Kayhl
Backstory: Raised in the tangled strands of the Webway like all Harlequins, Kayhl has dedicated his life to the destruction of She Who Thirsts, like the rest of his kind. For an Eldar, Kayhl is a fledgling, yet to select a Path to dedicate his life to, and is still learning the way of war.
Personality: Kayhl tends to laugh at the most inappropriate times, often chortling like a loon during combat, a habit that tends to unnerve his foes.
Wargear: Flip belt, holo field, chain sword, shuriken pistol
Good Plans: Send the Chaos foe back to the Warp in body bags.

**blood reaper**

I thought I'd give the PAN systen a try. Seems to work for most RP's

No problem, just be sure to give me credit!

**blood reaper**

I will Mordo. It Worked very well with the Great Heresy Thread.

Thanks for that.

**-Cypher-**

Officially withdrawing from RP due to inactivity. Which really is a bummer; I like my character.

Mordoskul and Shas entry post
Kayln and Zade wait patiently at the Web way gate for their Solitaire leader to arrive, reports of Chaos Servants finding a way into the Web Way had shaken the Harlequins. If they could find a way into the Black Library could be Chaotic for the entire Galaxy. They had to stop him.
WARORK93's entry post
Doyl Harker and the Storm Trooper regiment assigned to Inquisitor Czevak for a while and were preparing for their attack against the forces of Chaos. Czevak had informed them well of the tactics and weaponry of the enemy before any battle as a percussion. The regiment was originally going to assist the defence of Cadia and the other worlds threatened by the forces of Chaos but were pulled back by Imperial Command.
yeroc500r
Vizmar and his Sorcerer masters had been preparing the attack on a Web Way gate. They had searched for years to find it , a possibel entrance into the Web Way and the Black Libary.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"He should be here. Time is running out. Could something have already happened?"

**Mordoskul**

"It is possible, but unlikely. Until then, we must make ready the weapons of war."

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"I agree, but first we shall wait for him."

**blood reaper**

One of the 3 Webway Gates flikers to the life as a small group of Eldar emerge , they are injured and tierd. Even the Solitare is missing his Power Sword and bleeding Badly , while the other Harlequins rush towards them.
"They Have found it , we must stop them."
The other Harlequins rush towards their Grav-Vehicles and transports while others ready their weapons.
"Prepare for war"

**Mordoskul**

Kayln gives a madcap giggle, drawing his chainsword and shuriken pistol. "Even the Great Enemy could not stop us, what hope do these mon'keigh have?"

**blood reaper**

Kayln jumps onto a Venom along with Zade and several other Harlequins all eager to end these vermin and scum. The Venom soon takes flight into the Portal as the Eldar prepare to battle the servents of the Chaos God Tzeentch.
I'll post more when Shas Returns Mordo , plus any more Ideas for the new RPG?

**Mordoskul**

I'll post them on the Commorragh thread.

**WARORK93**

Doyl and his team of stormtroopers are sitting in the back of an Inquisition valkyrie, it is travelling through a dark storm toward their destination. Doyl thinks of the mission and its parameters, it was very likely they would see things that normal men would be driven insane just to attempt to comprehend.

Doyl offered a prayer to the empror for protection and strength, he looked around, they would all need it. He knew very well that all of them would probably perish in this attempt. He looked at the sombere faces of the men around him. Suddenly, a voice chimed in his ear bead.

"Five minutes to target, get ready." Doyl acknowledged and looked around at his men, all in their armor and jump gear. Doyl put on his helmet and his voice travelled out of it, distorted by the built in vox amp.

"Get ready to go, load up and run final weapon checks, we have five minutes."

the valkyrie was filled with activity as the men began to get ready to drop.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"This is unusual. Nobody has ever entered the Library. They must be stopped. Kayln, do not get too ahead of yourself. We must play this wisely, and not use brute force."

**blood reaper**

The Harlequins blast out of a Web way portal, their brightly coloured ships and craft stand out on the dull grey world, long dead since the destruction of their Empire. The enemy soon comes into view as bolts of unholy energy fly through the air as Rubric Marines are guided by their Sorcerers into battle. The Bolts of energy unleashed by their weapons destroy few Eldar Craft as they quickly descend upon the Chaotic Warriors. Kayln and Zade engage the Thousand Sons in close ranged combat along with their brethren, their blades rip through the armour of the Chaos Marines. The Sorcerers of Tzeentch unleash terrible Sorceries and horrors against the Eldar crushing them in a fury of Psychic Blasts and Warp lightning that destroys anything in their path. Jet Bikes fly through the sky in a fierce battle against the foul Daemons.
The Storm Troopers Valkyrie is hit by a blast of Daemonic Warp fire, causing it spin out of and crashing. Doyle awakes trapped under a small metal bar. He pushes it away and looks around seeing only dead Storm Troopers except for four.
“Doyle you survived! We fought we were the last alive we have to find a way out of here.”
The Storm Troopers break open one of the Valkyries hatches’ and watch Eldar Harlequins battle Thousand Son Chaos Marines.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Come brother! Let us repel these foul invaders!"

I unleash fury upon the unholy attackers.

**Mordoskul**

Kayln giggles as he plunges his chainsword deep into the innards of an Aspiring Sorcerer, showering his motley with red gore, before withdrawing the roaring weapon and whipping it across the sorcerer's neck, decapitating him. "You will not get far...."

**blood reaper**

Kayln quickly doges the Bolt shots from a Rubric Marine how appers behind the fallen Sorcerer , his shots just missing him by inches. The Rubric Marine turns and continues to fire until Vade imapales him from behind. Rubric Marine Havocs soon apper on the edge of a clif and begin fiering on the Eldar forces with their heavy weapons.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

"Distract them, while I bring swift death from the shadows."

**Mordoskul**

Kayln laughs "Oh course, only the best entertainment for our honored guests!" The Harlequin leaps off to engage the Havocs.
