Hey I've had this idea for a while and I've been holding off on bringing it up for reasons of laziness. I was thinking it might be helpful to have a quick glossary of important characters, places, and event attached to the original post of the COF2. I know that there have been a few times when i've lost track of who's who and what's what. I know something like that would have been helpful when writing a piece like the the governor's banquet. So what I propose is posting a glossary that has a short bio for each of our characters and NPCs. I don't know let me know what you guys think.

Tactical_Spam Vanden clearly loves making sweet sweet love to his school. He is the most passionate, learning oriented individual you will ever meet.
War Kitten You should ask nicely before hitting people with your stick Vanden. We're a polite society after all.
2BlackJack1 Snow is great though. Snowmen, snowball fights, frostbite, snow forts, what's not to love?
Kharne the Befriender It's just the smug look of eternal irony while you wait for Creed to pull out his Baneblade so you can steal it.
War Kitten I love how this has gone from a deathly serious war to a discussion about how Vanden is secretly a whale wearing panties. Welcome to the Crusade of Fury.
Irishpeacockz Well this crusade will be endless then as I imagine Vandan has a large collection of inflatables lying around

Sgt. Vanden- And now I'm a whale with panties. Can't see how this day can get any better.

Yes. Very much yes. There are so many characters... So... Many...

Well, here's mine. I've also attached a background of the cadre, in case it's ever relevant.
Sunstrike Cadre
Background
Spoiler:
A Tau detachment mainly composed of troops from Tash'var and Ksi'm'yen, the cadre was formed under Ethereal Aun'Chi to bring a detachment of Kroot rebels to heel and back into the Empire, or suffer annihilation. Whilst tracking the kroot, the cadre suffered huge casualties from various forces, leaving the remaining forces demoralised. Far away from the rest of the Empire and desperate, Sunstrike Cadre rose up against their fanatical Ethereal, murdering him and settling down on Crion.
Sunstrike excels at Mont'ka tactics, using a dedicated and skilled stealth cadre to study a target in detail before committing to a plan. However, when a plan is decided, the cadre's abnormally large Air Caste assets swoop in from the heavens and disgorge phalanxes of Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits into the fray. Mobile combat is the Cadre's forte, and this is echoed in the formation of their command bases.
Often, the various Orcas and Mantas the cadre fields serve as housing blocks for the units they transport, with other vehicles in various states of repair serving as storage bunkers and hospitals. This encourages the troopers to get a closer bond to their vehicle, as it is their home as well as transport, and allows for the entire cadre to mobilise if the main base comes under threat.
Previously, the cadre's task was to strike a faction of renegade Kroot from the Tau roster, but now, they simply seek to survive and find a calling on Crion.
Since Aun'Chi was murdered, their devotion to the Tau Empire has been severed. They still believe in a greatest good for the cadre, but these choices are made by a joint council, with squad leaders passing up their squad's wishes up the command chain up to the Shas'O himself. This allows for each soldier to have an input into the cadre's running and choices, as well as supporting communication through the ranks.
Sunstrike Cadre boasts an abnormal amount of auxiliary troops, nearly all of whom are Gue'vesa. Many Gue have risen strongly in the ranks, and are almost all seen as equal to their Tau brethren. The ratio between Tau to Gue is around 10%, increasing with every Imperial who defects to Sunstrike's cause. Their natural strength over Tau troops as close combat soldiers supports the cadre's fighting style, and has actually resulted in the cadre's soldiers being far more likely to engage in close combat if necessary, with surprising skill. However, due to the Cadre's limited Earth Caste innovators, no way has yet been found to transfer a human into a Battlesuit, although XV-15 Stealth Suits are compatible.
Due to this influx of Imperial troops, the Cadre swiftly found itself deployed against rogue Tau auxiliaries, such as Kroot or Demiurg factions. The human's experience with fighting against the Tau had been passed down, and now the Empire had a detachment which was skilled at actually eliminating rogue taskforces. This lead to their fateful Kroot deep-space operation, with fatal consequences to the Empire and Ethereal Aun'Chi.
Also having an in-depth knowledge of human methods of war and the Imperial war machine, the cadre boasts a strong competence against Astra Militarum forces, which will undoubtedly come into play on Crion.
Currently deployed in Kalhoon, on Crion.
Notable Figures
Spoiler:
Shas'O Tash'var Kor'Kauyon Mont'yr Kais Or'es Doran Gal'leath, or Commander Skyhunter - Leader of the Cadre, wields twin fusion blasters and fusion blades on his XV82 Crisis Suit. Now also sports a salvaged Blood Dragon Dreadnought's power axe. Favours getting in close for combat, and is accompanied by a retinue of Crisis Suits. Bound into the suit, due to crippling injuries suffered in battle.
Gue'vesa'El Vandred - Sub-Commander of the Cadre's infantry, wields a pulse pistol and power sword in his combat armour. Specialises in supporting and directing the cadre's Fire Warriors in the heat of battle.
Shas'El Ksi'm'yen Ta'serra Gal Runal Monat M'yen, or Sub-Commander Shadowbrand - The Sub-Commander of Sunstrike's recon formations, and directs and leads scouting operations to support the cadre's assaults. She wields a drone-enhanced pulse carbine with her recon armour, or dons XV-15 Stealth armour and totes a burst cannon into battle.
Fio'El Mirrorstone - Sub-Commander of the garrison. She handles the cadre's logistics, fortification, and drone defense net placement, but rarely takes to the field. Previously an Earth Caste Commander.
Kor'El Darkspear - Air Caste Commander, and directs and sanctions flight operations over Sunstrike's territories. Works closely with Skyhunter in planning the cadre's devastating aerial assaults.
Shas'vre Ghostwalk - Commander of First Reconnaissance Cadre, under Sub-Commander Shadowbrand. Prefers a Ghostkeel Battlesuit, although he has worn XV-25 Stealth armour when necessary. Very elitist and racist to the human auxiliaries.
Shas'ui Tsa'lan - Leader of First Pathfinder Team, after Shas'ui Vio'fas' death. Dislikes Ghostwalk, feels very outmatched in her role as Shas'ui, and has a close relationship to Harland.
Gue'vesa'ui Harland - Leader of Second Pathfinder Team. Human soldier, ingenuitive and skilled at combat, but deeply attached to his squadmates and affected greatly by surprise failures.
Way to go, TS. Make a million and a half characters...
H.B.M.C.- The end hath come! From now on armies will only consist of Astorath, Land Speeder Storms and Soul Grinders!

koooaei- Emperor: I envy your nipplehorns. <Magnus goes red. Permanently>
Neronoxx- If our Dreadnought doesn't have sick scuplted abs, we riot.
Frazzled- I don't generally call anyone by a term other than "sir" "maam" "youn g lady" "young man" or " HEY bag!"

Kharne the Befriender It's just the smug look of eternal irony while you wait for Creed to pull out his Baneblade so you can steal it.

IF a character dies (or leaves), strikethrough the name instead of deleting it. It would be good to see how many characters we actually kill off before the end of the Crusade.
