If you were a human, (pysker, librarian , marine, guardsman, prostitute, doesn't matter) in the 40k verse, do you think you could resist chaos? or would you fall to it? If you would fall, which dark god do you think you would fall under?

I may be able to resist if I was a marine, but I would most likely fall to either slaanesh or tzeentch

I don't know, Slaanesh looks pretty great, not to mention Khorne.

Since a staggering number of Marines fall, I don't think any of us, if we were who we are IRL, just suddenly transferred to being a 40K character, would have a hope in Hell of resisting the lure of Chaos.

All of us here are too liberally-minded, too enamoured of personal freedoms, of representative democracies (or other forms of liberal, democratic political structures), our various freedoms of expression and belief, and all the things that make the vast majority of us citizens of Western liberal democracies to survive the reality of 40K for more than a minute.

Nurgle for family,Tzeentch for trollery or khorne so I can meet Kharn(hes a fun guy)So hard to choose...

Not going to lie, I'd probably be one of those people who thought they were staying strong but had actually fallen to the ruinous powers.

That's the worst kind...

This is pretty much spot on.

And if any of us somehow managed to resist, we'd be killed by the Arbites for heresy. :I

Khorne so I can troll Slaanesh and Nurgle so I can troll Tzeench.

Then again, Malal sounds like fun too.

Hmm, I get the choice of being a grinding slave of the imperium, or shut up and go back to your grinding, slave?

Lube me up, because orgying until I'm incapable of feeling anymore sounds like a lot better way to end my wretched existence rather than whatever else is being offered.

I'd rather not! Though considering the fact that those spankers can twist your mind, that might not count for much.

I guess I'd try to resist, and if I thought I was failing and still had the sanity to do so then I'd just self-martyr. I prefer my mind and body the way they are, thanks.

The way it works is you either die before you turn or you turn and then die haha. Both kinda suck... there's a lot of dying.

But I think i'd go for Tzeentch. Being able to mutate and learn stuff is cool. Plus, who knows when that extra tentacle will come in handy... ladies

Chances are I would be killed as a nameless gaurdsman before I got to choose.

In all honesty though I would probably stay with the Big E. I'm all about obeying the law and not questioning things that I'm told not to question.

I'd defect to the Tau.

Like Draigo

I'd gravitate toward the Dark Mechanicus with a bit of Tzeentch on the side. Crafting Daemon engines and learning to do them better? Hells yes.

I'd probably end up with Tzeentch, though I imagine if I could make it to being a Space Marine I could resist solely on the basis of aspiring to protect mankind and better it.

I'd surely end up in conflict with the Inquisition, but I don't think I would fall to chaos.

But as a regular citizen, totes would.

Emperors a false God anyway. So i'd probably fall to slaanesh or khorne

Did you read what I posted here?

I'd be pretty vulnerable, I think. Especially if I suddenly started manifesting warp powers.

I'm a fairly angry dude, and while I struggle to control my temper, I think that if Khorne (or his agents) were to give me some direct attention, they could push me over the edge pretty quickly.

Thanks to Black Library fiction, I've got far too much distrust of Slaanesh or Tzeentchian forces to ever trust them enough to fall in their direction. I think that the lure of magical power might tempt me down Tzeentch's path, but I'd be far more likely to try and keep a neutral balance between two or more chaos gods if I were a chaos sorcerer.

Nurgle, though, Nurgle could get me. Immortality? Want that. Oh, rather than give me a bunch of cool things and make it to where I can't enjoy them, like all the other chaos powers, Nurgle will instead give me a bunch of terrible things but make it to where I'm happy with them? Awesome. So...immortality and happiness? At the cost of everyone else thinking I'm awful and a horrible monster (except other Nurglites)? If I was already down the rabbit hole of chaos taint and sorcery, I think I'd wind up in this direction, definitely.

I read it on 14dchan.

I wouldn't be any more or less likely to than anyone else; I'm just some dude. As someone who isn't terribly devout or big on religious presence or being told what to think, I guess it's a decent possibility since I would just go for whatever Imperium alternatives there are. However,

This is probably the most likely answer, all things considered.

If you were a hotdog.....

I'd love to join Chaos. At least they appreciated liberal ideas and free religion.

Stay loyal, chaos sucks!

Hardly. The abhor free thoughts that go against their ideals. And them being an alternative religion doesn't mean that they support free religion at all. They still hate other religions, and want to kill or convert anybody who doesn't worship Chaos.

Nurgle. Easily. He loves you, makes you immune to pain, and empowered by illnesses. And he's the only god to care for you, and guarantee daemonhood after death (as a lesser daemon, admittedly, but still daemonhood).

All of the gods could corrupt me.

I've always been a angry little man. So Khorne would corrupt me by giving me power to exact vengeance. And then probably only waste his gift and troll people on the internet.

Tzeench would corrupt me by feeding my child like curiosity about -EVERYTHING- And use this knowledge for nefarious ends. It also would be handy if he mutated my hands into bear paws. See above.

Nurgle....Well I think this guy would appeal to me the most. He's always happy. The smell wouldn't bother me. Have you -seen- the Wargamers in southern BC? I'd be fine. I'd also have my already high pain tolerance increased and Plague Marine armor is pretty fething sweet looking.

Slannesh. I like girls. Nuff said.

Hrm...think here for a second.
My steadfast nature, but latent pessimism would lean me towards nurgle most likely.
However, my inability to take criticism well, and persuit of perfection might send me towards slaanesh.

Its a toss up I suppose.

I somehow think that if I lived in the 40k universe and Slaanesh would come by my place offering me eternal youth... yeah I'd go for it.

Indeed! [burn the heretic I say]
