Knights of the Blood Star

[Zrascak]

This is a RP which I have loosely based on a story I am writing right now. The setting is somewhere in the 40k universe during the End Times, the fault in the Golden Throne has been detected, chaos is pressing in and humanity face war everywhere.

You are all the results of an ancient experiment, conducted by the emperor himself in the time before the great betrayal. You were supposed to become a new kind of Space Marine and your kind was made with geneseed from all the chapters which has led to a lot of weird things, for example some of your kin is like a mix between the the space wolves, having their long canine teeth, and the blood angels with their bloodthirst.

You were all completed and fought with the emperor before the great betrayal but mere years before Horus fell the emperor ordered you to go to sleep on a special planet until he called you again. This had not happened when some of the humans living on the planet was corrupted by chaos and convinced others to join them. Hundreds of them broke into your sleeping place, the Tombs Of Sleeping Death, and murdered thousands of your kind. When you finally woke up from the disturbance you killed all the invaders and conquered the planet. From the planet, heart of what was ocne your empire, you reconquered the rest of the solar system and activated ancient systems, made by unknown hands during the Dark Age of Technology and the solar system reshaped itself into a gigantic moving space fortress, the Blood Star.

With this Blood Star the age of reconquest began.

You are currently fighting away from the main part of the Knights and the Blood Star as a special detachment to take the fight to Chaos itself. You are posted on a human planet in the outskirts of the Astronomican, close to the Ghoul Stars and whatever horror waits there.

This is the main story. Characters shall follow this template. REMEMBER! You are the elite of what was made to become the next-generation space marine, you are insanely good, that's what you were made for. I will give you enemies to fit your powers.

Name: Calling-name, code-name, true-name,titles, put whatever you wish. Inform us of what it is. You should have at least 3 titles (you have trouble coming up with any, just write that and I will give you a couple.)
Arms and armour: Any kind of weapon as long as a reasonable explanation is given.
Rank: Preferred rank following the standard astartes rules. Real rank will be given by me when the character is approved of.
Special traits (optional): Fast even for an astartes? Tendency to berserk? Immolation? Psyker (level of powers too)? It all goes here.
Background: Short background. Any reason for having a special weapon goes here. Inform the others of what their characters know and what is only known to us IRL.
Appaerance: This means how they look withour armour.

Here comes my character.

Name: Goes by code-names or titles. Code-names: Sammael, Wolf, Jackal, Madman. Titles: Ancient Bearer of Death, Lord-Shadow of Hell, Master of the Council of Shades, Shadebringer, Shadowhunter, Thirteenth of Twelve, King of Ice, Nightwalker. Some more from specific actions.
Rank: Nex (something along the lines of a space wolf scout though he has authority to command).
Arms and armour: Artificer type armour with a hood and cape as well as a helmet. Armed with two long Sollex-Aegis type energy blades with one-and-a-half hand hilts, one big twohanded power scythe and one twohanded daemon weapon (a possessed dark eldar klaive), two bolt pistols with extended magazines and barrels.
Traits: Insanely fast, good eyesight, exceptional at killing others while surviving, great willpower, high intelligence, cold to the touch and cold in face of danger.
Background: Sammael began as an ordinary Knight, chosen for the experiment because of his talent at killing, before he was 13 years old he had killed over a hundred enemies of the Imperium of Man, but rose quickly through the ranks due to his intelligence and skills. As Sammael raised through the ranks his skills grew and the dangers he faced grew along with them. He has been captured many times, his body bears these scars. Once when captured by dark eldar his rage and hatred towards his capturers was great enough to make a daemon possessing one of his capturers Incubi's klaives actually submitted to him in a battle of will and has served him ever since.
Appaerance: A long slender man, white skin, long black hair usually drawn back behind his head, when not in armour clad in long black and dark red robes with dark grey and dark green camouflage-patterned clothes underneath. Always armed.

[Yuno]

Background: During the great crusade Nero was known as the go to for breaking enemy lines. In his suit of terminator armor Nero would wade through the heaviest of enemy fire and tear them to shreds with his assault cannon. The moment enemies closed the gap and got in his face Nero would activate the repulsion field on his storm shield and smash them in the face with it. Through thousands of battles Nero served with devotion and with a stalwart resolution and an Iron will.

Appearance: Pale skin with blue eyes and buzz-cut brown hair. Outside his suit of armor he wears a black jumpsuit with very minimal ornaments besides an Aquila necklace. His body is larger and taller than most space marines and his entire body ripples with taught muscle.

Background: Gaius is known as God-Hand for one thing only; his ability to alter the tide of battles with a single shot. He surveys the battlefield with the detached air of a deity picking whom to save and whom to eliminate. He is almost as deadly in close combat, his twisting and writing combat style allows him to gain the upperhand against almost any opponent. While he was always present on the battlefields during the Great Crusade his exploits remain shrouded in a shadow. His presence was only felt when the leader of an Ork WAAAGH toppled over dead or a landraider stopped dead in its tracks, always accompanied by the crack of a sniper rifle shot. He lurked in the shadows, only emerging when his comrades needed him most. While relatively little is known of Gaius' background prior to his installation at the Emperor's side, it is fairly clear the he was at one time a Vindicare Assassin, prior to the inception of the Inquisition.

Appearance: Gaius' stands at a normal height for a space marine, his short black hair and dark eyes being optimized for stealth combat. His lithe figure belies the strength inside of his whipcord muscles. Outside of his armor he wears a dark brown jumpsuit, an Aquila pin, and is always sporting an ordor-less pipe.

[TheLostExarch]

(like the idea, you should do this more often )
Name: Starkk Faolchu (r.n.), The Fallen Master (title), Xenos Bane (title), 'Falcon' (c.n.)
Arms and armour: Wears an ornate suit of Scout armour (freer movement), wields a Bolt Pistol and carries clips of all special ammunition (incl. hellfires), wields the Power Glaive of a Dire Avenger grand exarch which he claimed in single combat. He carries three spirit stones which carry the souls of three eldar farseers that he has 'dispatched from the mortal coil'.
Rank: Sternguard Veteran (hence the special ammo)
Special traits: Psyker-esque abilities. The farseer's souls act as guides for Starkk when he needs help. He also has a tendancy to black-out from them assaulting his mind when he ignores them.
Background: Starkk has little memmory of what happened before he woke but does know that he ravaged an ancient eldar shrine and defeated it's leader (grand exarch) and the three attendant farseers in single combat. He was, in actuality, saving them from a chaos army, but they infected his memories to make him feel guilty when he awoke once more. He instead feels that this was his intention and that he hates all xenos.
Appearance: He has regal blue hair with a white frond near the front (imagine how 'rogue' looked in X-men), he is lanky and has a large scar running down his left arm.

[Esiphas]

Name: Reaver Shiniga (True Name) The Rogue Element (Title), The Ace card (title)
Arms and armour: Reaver wears Scout armour, plain and simple, with a lizardskin cloak which seems to shift depending on his enviornment. He also has a well concealed Iron Halo, to make up for the lack of strength in scout armour. He carrys a Specialy modified Bolt Pistol, which fires a special type of ammunition which can melt through any armour. He also has regular ammuition for just in case. He also has a Power-Katana, for his close combat fights. He wears no helmet, though he does wear a tactical eyepice (think Garrus).
Rank: Brother-Captain (Who trains the scouts- like Cyrus)
Special traits (optional): Genetic Modification has turned Reaver into a Blank, and his eyesight is completely unnafected by any conditions. He never blinks, and his eyes glow white. In addition, his body can recover from any injury it suffers, though the more serious the injury the more time it takes to recover. For example, a broken bone will mend in a few minutes, a severed arm will have fully regrown by the end of the day and a severed head will have grown back after about 2 weeks.
Background: Reaver never talks about his past, so no-one but him knows anything about him. However, it is quite clear he is well distinguished. Reavers finest achievment is holding a narrow corridor from a smalla rmy of chaos Cultists, killing them as hey charged him, standing in the open and forming teh collapsed cultists into walls to use as cover, and using his power-katana to hold the line after his ammunition ran out. As a reward for this he was given the Caustic ammunition for his bolt-pistol.
Appaerance: He has very long black hair, which seems to shimmer in the light. His skin is dark crimson, as though he is permanantly stained with blood. His Body is covered in scars, which he never discusses. His feet are flat, which is surpising considering his agileness. His eyes are hawk yellow.

Name: Tanek Masia (True Name) The Immortal One (Title) The Wounded Warrior (Title)
Arms and armor: Tanek is suited inside of a dreadnought.Tanek's dreadnought is fitted with a unique pattern of dreadnought armor, (design and designer of this armor has been lost) it holds strong to anything short of a lascannon round, but even then the shot has a chance that it will not harm him for the force field guarding the vital parts of Tanek and the machine might catch the shot and throw it off course.
He carries one blood talon hand with 2 heavy flamers and on the other side a pair of lascannons. His blood talon arm is bright red with a purple flame design near the flamers. His other arm is bright white. His main body is a fade between the 2 colors. His legs match the corresponding arms.

Rank: Captain ( before put into dreadnought)

Special traits: Determined: Tanek will never halt. He is determined to destroy his enemy and will do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal. He walks through small arms fire like it isn't there. Mechanic: Tanek is so determined that if his machine is incapable of carrying him further or has been damaged he will begin fixing it even in the heat of combat. He has masted this machine and knows how to use what is available to get his machine back to starting strength.

Background: Tanek served The Emperor well in his many conquests on The Great Crusade. Unfortunately he was wounded when he was leading a counter attack to reclaim a outpost lost to the Eldar. Little is known of this battle for Tanek was the only survivor and doesn't talk of this defeat. It is rumored that this is where Tanek found his force field and enhanced armor. Since then Tanek has been shot and "destroyed" many times. Men thought him dead but just then he would find a way to crawl back from the dead and his machine would again spew flames upon the enemy.

Appearance: Tanek stand about 6"4' and has natural black hair. His skin a bright white for he has been locked away for so long. His eyes are bright blue and glow with a passion to kill Xenos. (Of course he is never taken out of his armor)

(I have PMed the host about the armor 2 days ago and he hasn't got back so i just posted it anyway. If he gets back and doesn't allow it I will edit my character.)

[Zrascak]

Alright I am sorry that I have not replied, I have had a couple of big exams so I had to study a bit these last couple of days (I had forgotten about them, oops,).

As we have a lot of players ready to go now I will give you your titles and then if anybody else wants to join they can, as long as we do not have too many players. I can accept 4-6 more with a spot reserved for Namine. The dreadnought gets a green light by the way.

Ranks: This group does not use the codex rankings and therefore I will give a short explanation about each rank I give you. I will also give you numbers which tells you your place in the rankings of all player characters and say which group you belong to. You can not command anybody with the same number to do anything and if the character is not in your group they need to be two ranks below you. Only exception to this is the shadow group who does not take orders from anybody except shadow group and can, if a case of exception has been declared, command anybody. Any questions about how it works, just ask.
Nero-The Third Defender (Commander of one of the defensive groups.) 3
Gaius-Umbra Surculus (Highest of one of the assassin teams, shadow group.) 2
RipJaw-Auxilliary Primus(Since he is not originally from the chapter he can only command people from his own group. Tenth offensive group (all marines in that group are from other chapters.)4
Starrk-The Second Defender(Commander of on of the defensive groups) 3
Reaver-The Fifth Hunter(Highest of a scout team, recon group) 3
Tanek-The First Deadman(Oldest and highest of the dreadnoughts, Elite group.)2
Sammael-Angelus Nex(Highest of all these, holds the dual titles of Angelus and Nex. Nex makes him one of the thirteen leaders of the ordinary marines, Angelus marks that he is the leader of the shadow group too. Has absolute authority except when all the other twelve in the high council (leading organisation) and the thirteen lower councils (one for each Nex) votes against him.

When I hear from everybody that they are read (just post here please) I will begin.

[Yuno]

Calling Name :Stella / True Name: Rei Stella Lapus Vaer. / Codenames: Rei, Star, Fallen Star, Broken Angel./ Titles: Lady of the Fallen Stars. Lady of the house where the stars fall. Lady Rei. Mistress of Stars. Mistress of Blades. Mistress of Star Steel. Mistress of Steel. She who wields the stars. Assassin of the heavens.

Arms and Armour: A blade of pure shining metal which legend has is welded from the center of a star that falls on her homeworld of Vaeria in the same place every 50 years. This blade causes agony to those of taint by touch alone. It is said none but those who have been tempted and damaged can wield the blade. Along side of this are an many small blades which she wears as a belt. Her lon hair is also protected by many detachable blades. She also wears gauntlets that increase her strength quite a great deal (Although no where near that of a marine.) She wears light armor made for moving about with great speed. She also has a stealth field generator that was a gift from the Tau.

Traits: Feel no pain, exceptional speed well above that of a natural human and eldar. Hot to the touch. Highly intelligent and skilled at throwing. Ability to project silver fire from her hands. She has been known once or twice to lose her temper and murder with little concern for who dies.

Backround: Born a lady on her chaos infested world she was an infant born of the coupling between the daemon sorcerer and a high born lady. This fact was little known although people whisper that is why they are called fallen stars. However, when the Imperium found this out she was still a toddler. She was immediately taken from her family although she wasnt all together erased as she now in her adult life holds leadership of the clan and world. The Imperium was determined to put her to use and so she was indoctrinated into being an Imperial assassin. Her enjoyment of killing was considered useful and by the time she had blossomed into a young woman few could match the abilities she put on display. The blade she wields which is welded from the middle of a star that fell the day she returned to claim her throne is her prized weapon. When the Blood Stars were awakened she was already there infiltrating them. She was pulled from her mission when it was feared that the bindings on her daemon were being strained from the corruption was about. When she was first brought back in she appeared partially daemonic. However by the point the others meet her the bindings are back in place and she is perfectly normal.
Appearance: Slender female of about 6 feet height. Her hair falls to her bottom in a thick braid of silver hair. Her armor is black and silver. Tattoos range along her body in deep sweeping curls of black restraints. Her eyes are strange because they are entirely black with a sparkling white center.

[virado]
