chaotic neutral? thats fine you`ll be started with the good for the sake of the siding. Oh and the planet name is Trint Primos. Thanks for joining yall. We`ll start either later tonight or tomorrow.

great! I just noticed I haven't written down an appeanace for my character. I'm editing it now.

Another roleplay? With Tyranid* spelled wrong in the title? *Sigh* What has the roleplaying board come to?

what does it matter? I just want something to keep me busy

I`m sorry i spell it differently. Get over it and i didnt see one so unless your goin to join gtfo. I`m a nice person but i dont take crap like this. I joined in hope there were guys like you but i guess there are.

Let's all be nice to each other. Darko, you shouldn't always look down on other RP's (no offense meant) and Yeroc, 'gtfo'? Do stay polite.

Sorry...... But i`ve just recently left a forum because of trolls. I`m still a bit defensive. sorry.

Baah, doesn't matter. You'd better get the RP on the go. There's already 4 players here (including you). Chop Chop .

I am. I am. Gimme two seconds to get a few things done so i wont be interupted

I'm not a troll, I'll have you know. I dislike bad grammar as a principle, and I'm annoyed at the stupid number of roleplays currently out there. Assumptions don't get people anywhere in life

@Yeroc: *stopped bothering you*

@Darko: what does it matter? A broader assortiment in RP's is good.

I didnt say you were. But i`m not a grammar person. English is not my forte. Sorry for that. And i wanted something to do so i started this. I get you run big RP`s but dont pick on the small ones.

I'm not running any roleplays currently. All mine died awhile ago because of the stupid amount of other roleplays. How any can thrive, I'll never know.

In a way, I started this whole "roleplay explosion".

Edit: I'm just waiting for other roleplays to end so my mates 'n' I can continue a few other roleplays.

Alright here goes. (Start off a event that`ll lead you to the sewer system of the Hive Scarsus)

*Colonel-Commissar Vantrava shot the tyrinid in front of his injured Major. The tyrinid fell over dead from the bolt round to head. Major Tanto got up and ran behind Vantrava. Suddenly Vantrava was thrown from his feet by a explosion. He flew thirty feet and landed hard. He looked up and saw a genestealer stand over him salvinating. He rolled right as the thing attacked. He got up and shot the thing squarly through the chest ripping it in half. A second genestealer apeared followed by a three more. Vantrava thinking tactically looked at a gaping hole of a sewer system right next to him and darted for it. He dropped his remaining frag grenade and dived into the hole.*

I don't really care.

Big RP's?

Small RP's?

They're both good!




P.S. Normally

Alright you guys can start. I need a backstory for each character on how they got to the sewers.

I was finding a suitable base area on foot with a large scale force, when we were attacked by Tyranids in huge numbers. Basically all my forces were killed, but I and a few others escaped, and ran into the sewers.

(Or do you need it in actual RP form? Argh what the heck, I'll just do it.)

IC:

Kais was walking allong with his troops, a foul smell in the air. His squad was following him loyally, and for this he was proud of them. They all knew of his skills in battle, and for that they respected him. They all did.

Suddenly, Kais heard movement. He signalled for his Warriors to stop, and listened in closely. Tyranids.

"Battle positions! Get ready! Here they come!"

They emerged from over a hill in massive numbers, the sheer size of the force terrifying. Pulse rifle shots blazed across the battlefield, killing many Tyranids, but not proving effective against the force as a whole. Then the Tyranids smashed into the Tau ranks, killing many, blood splattering on the ground.
Kais saw his men dying, and knew he had to do something quickly. One Tyranid dived at him, and he took of its head with a clean shot.

"Time to move! We're the only ones left!" he yelled to the remainder of his squad."

They ran, only four of them, and escaped to the nearby sewers.

{Hmmm, Time for Imagination! }

IC:

Larkson ran after his squadmates. The 31st Riverine were an amhibious outfit. But somehow Tactica has seen fit to deploy them here. Larkson tightly gripped his lasgun. The tight confines of the sewers wer frightening. The idea there were Tyranids out here was more frightening. His platoon was clearing the sewers for the past two hours now. A hellish period. Shrieks of 'Nids in pain, or Nids busy killing brave guardsmen could be heard through the sewer system. The tight confines eassily carried sound.

"Left drainage. Flamer, up!" Sergeant Dukkas yelled.

A guardsman armed with flamer quickly cleared a drainage pipe of Rippers, shrieks of tiny animals could be heared.
Suddenly, the flame trooper convulsed and fell down, face first, into the foul water.

"Fire for effect!" Larkson could hear Liuetenant Charkos talking through the link. A pair of talloned Nids were clawing their way through three unfortunate Ousians.

Larkson suddenly found himself in the new front rank. he, Sergeant Dukkas and a trooper who's face he didn't recognise, let loose with their lasguns. A blazing salvo later, the two talloned fiends lay dead, the last of their shrieks dying away.

"press on." Lieutenant Charkos once urged though the link.

Dukkas, the stranger and Larkson were running ahead, towards the third checkpoint, confident the rest of their platoon was still behind them.

woops, noticed it too late.

Allright, 4th platoon (Larkson's platoon) got to the sewer because of orders to check out for infiltrating Tyranids.

Hope this worked.

Its fine. Anyways when Neon joins us i`ll give him a way to join up with us
Now on to business

*Vantrava woke up in a pile of goop. He looked behind him and noticed the sewer entrance had collapsed. He walked on through the sewers for several minutes before he heard a stacato of las fire. He ran towards the sound and saw a band of guard fighting off a group of tyrinids. He pulled out his heavy bolter and added his fire to the mix. Almost instantaniously the tyrinids were cleared out. Vantrava walked up to the band and said, "who`s in charge and what the hell are you doing in this crap hole." Then a cadre of Fire warriors ran into the room. Vantrava nearly shot them, but remembered his promise he made to a Tau commander a long time ago. The warriors almost shot, but Vantrava held up a Tau talisman stopping the leader of the group. Vantrava said, "hold your fire soldiers we`ll need as many friends as possible. Now tau explain yourself, and again who`s the leader of you guard."

The platoon was almost at third checkpoint After they reached it, they were to vox a status report. They shold vox for reinfoces too, this was dirty work. The sewers were infiltrated by Nids. up above, large swarms of Tyranids raged about, but the majority of the Nid Threat was far away, on aother continent. But it would just be weeks before the majority of the hive reached this one. For now, the 31st Riverine could deal with the Nids around here. But when the full scale swarm of the assault reached them...

Larkson could see the ladder to the port hole above. There they were to reach Command on the vox. They ran on, but Sergeant Dukkas steadied them. He ordered another flame trooper up. That right bend didn't look promissing. When the flame trooper reached the front, Dukkas shone his lamppack through the darkness. The flame trooper jumped at the sight of three genestealers, sneaking the way through the sewer.

Dukkas, stalwart as ever, let loose a rippling salvo of las beams, the blue lights stabbing at the aliens. Larkson, impressed by the sight, joined in with the salvo. The flame trooper gathered his nerves, and let loose a stabbing arc of promethium. The shrieks filled the tight confies again.

Dukkas checked the corners again, and pointed the two front squads, what was left of them, to the manhole.

OOC: more to come later.

Alright you guys both respond. Scrazza you`ll play your highest rank for certain parts like this.

Nevermind ignore this message

next part:

IC:

Lieutenant Charkos recognised the man as a Commissar.

"I am. Lieutenant Charkos. Second platoon, CO. We were ordered to scout the sewers. we're going to that manhole there, we have to report that the sewers are infiltrated."

Lietenant Charkos twitched at the sound of lasfire and flame.

"I have two squads up front, Commissar. I hope you and your Xenos friends are willing to join us?"

To be honest, I might even join this one. But there's absolutely no background information for us to work from. An example of a decent opening post to an RPG (in my opinion):
