It would help if you could post bios, attitudes 'quirks' and character appearances so I could get them right i'm Nate's 'journal/side-story

assuming marshall larkin, purplefood and the commasariat allow me

awaiting confirmation that i can continue (or discontinue )
Nate's experiences with the 222

will be keeping in canon with purple's story


And: what does 'Imo' mean

also is it 'lho stick' or 'iho stick'

Imo = in my opinion

Don'y post it here...
Incidentally the entire regiment is Catachan apart from SP Alzter and the two Commissars.
Plastic will be responsible for the inter-mission jourbnal entries if you want his character to interact with yours send him a bio or something similar... also tell him because otherwise he'll be confused since you will likely send it before he reads this post.

Yeah, people don' move to catachan... we are a regiment of catachans.

o.k

I will edit the characture bio to fit the prameters

if the unit takes casualties, i roll 2d6 for each trooper, on a 2 or 3, the trooper dies. this shows that we all watch out for eachother

if the entire unit is wiped out i roll 2d6 for the unit.

2-4 3d3 casualties
5-7 2D3 casualties
8-10 d3 casualties

However, if a unit is within 6 inches of them when they get wiped out, it is the above -d6.

I know this sounds complex, but it works with the fluff. at the moment, but we have top medicae and are hard.

How do independent characters attached to a unit work? Are they treated as one of the unit or by themseleves?

They are the last to be wiped out (it is assumed the others would give their lives)

Purple?

you still drunk?

...or did I miss your next installment in the clutter?

I haven't posted it yet...
This last week has been a touch hectic so i have had little time to actually do that much.

No problem, take your time adjutant

Lho sticks are bad for your health!

yes, but with tobacco filters the Emperor protects!

private first class Nathaniel 'Nate' Damscus walked down the hall and remembered his earliest days on Catachan. He remembered arriving at the newly finished hive city, of Catachan Secundis, and noting that not a single deadly plant grew inside its walls. He remembered waking up the next day on his tenth story hab flat and nearly being throttled by a man-eating plant that had sprouted in the hall.

But that planet was behind him now. Though, in all honestly he did miss it: the morning snake stomp the chem clearing of his room and being lulled to sleep by the detonations of the barking toads in the forest while wearing a rebreather.

adjusting the hang of his lasgun he looked at the slip of paper the duty officer had given to him, it was simple directions to his platoon's sleep-block. When he finally arrived he had joined the large cluster of green troops at the door and crowded in with the rest of them when it was opened.

By the time he had joined the throng a commissar was barking out orders to the assemblage of gaurdmen.

"I'm not going to mince words." Said the commissar "my name is commissar Wasabi." "Now, you are going to be assigned cubicles, with five beds to each!"looking down at his data-slate, he added "Excepting gamma squad which will be, six men and their sergant, to each, owing to a lack of troops." "You will pick a bed, you will sleep in that bed, you will make friends, in that bed-wait, no." There was muffled laughter coming from the rank and file, as the commissar struggled to correct his rather embarrassing mistake. "um...ahh....continuing!" barked the black clad officer "You'r weapons and armor are in the foot lockers." wasabi said "The bedside tables are to be used for personal effects, that cannot be hung on walls."There was silence "well?! get to it!" the commissar almost hollered.

i like it. commissar wasabi is fond of making friends.

Catachan doesn't have Hive Cities...
AFAIK the only established settlement it has is the starport it uses as the only way to get off world.

seconded.

Also, as i mentioned earlier- can we not any more offworlders who decide to one day become a catachan, catachans arn't a fan of outsiders, they think them weaker- which they usually are. also, you will all be modelled as catachans

what about catachan receiving and giving offworld training? Maa is catachan born but is a teacher for a Cadian sniper school specializing in jungle and heavy forest warfare

i know that was just the earliest memories he had (he had moved from starport)

and purplefood yes there aren't any hive citys on catachan that was just a bit of fluff (besides that hive only lasted a few hours, by dinnertime it was indistinguishable from the jungle around it.

speaking of beds i am going to mine now its almost three in the morning

wow I like what ive read so far keep up the good work.

check out the official exploits too

When i kill something again?

I havent even been put on the list yet. But im itching to kill something.

Walking to gamma squad’s hab block, he took stock of the build; the room they were occupying was a full three stories high, and each squad block was two stories high with storage on the top, and sleeping quarters at the bottom. Stepping inside Nate took a bed on the right wall near the door. Setting down his bag he peered around the room, the other troops that were in here:

Behind his cot was another co,t occupied by a trooper about his age and hight, wearing, what appeared to be a furry, vallhalan-style hat and carrying a backpack that looked like it could fit a chem-dog tank. Shifting his line of sight to the next cot, he saw a bedraggled looking solider with sergeant's stripes standing over 6 feet tall and an impressively developed physique, even for a catachan. Looking over to the far wall he watched as a trooper with a kukri, an immense machete like weapon on which the blade curved inward on an abrupt 45 degree angle, carefully paint the name 'Stumbo' on his bedstead.

On that same wall a trooper with the name 'Garm' stitched across his chest, collapsed on a bed and started snoring. on the wall opposite the door the vox-man set down his 'caster and began rummaging in his foot locker.

nate turned to his own locker and opened it.
