This is a roleplay that is basically about a newly emerged adeptus astartes chapter, but they are not like any chapter before them, their gene-seed is rooted in all the old legions and therefore the astartes of the chapter is very different from their battle-brothers. Also they do not follow even close to the codex, instead of having a basic weaponry for each unit type the marines train primarily with the weapon of their choice and secondarily with all the other weapons. They also do not have companies, instead they form groups for each individual mission to fit the requirements for that mission the best. They do not however only fight with their own chapter, sometimes these groups, or even an individual is sent to fight with another chapter for assistance. Not much is really known about how they got created or which technologies was used to mix all the ancient gene-seeds. Another unknown fact is how long this chapter has been planned, and if it even is a new chapter, something that seems unlikely because of the fact that they have dreadnoughts many millenia old and marines centuries old, however they have never been recorded in action before. Not even the inquisiton knows much about this chapter but they have come to the conclusion that it has actually been created a long time ago and seen action often, just not officially. The chapter actually has two homeworlds in entirely different systems, they have one world which they have transformed into basically a single fortress and then they have a home on hoyl Terra itself, in the same mountainrange that the holy chambers of the Astronomican itself lies.
So now you have this background story, create your character, I will give you missions to do and I will of course participate too. Your character can be almost however you want it as long as it is an adeptus astartes. Do it like this example (my character).
Name (Last name not needed, actually last name only for special cases): "Mad" Jack "Frost"
Rank (No higher than captain, librarians no higher than epistolary, choose what role, actual commanding authorithy is dependant on mission): Vanguard Veteran Sergeant
Equipment/Powers(Psyschic powers of free choice, onyl general types, not exact strength, for any special wish in strength post under character form): Artificer Mk. 8 power armour, Nemesis Force Scythe (Yes you are llowed to take inquisiton power armour wearer weapons with you, sisters of battle weapons too) Bolter with M40 targeting system and lenghtened barrel. Has the power to bend the warp after his will (This is important, if you choose this kind of power your character can do anythign with teh warp AS LONG AS HE HAS ENOUGH STRENGTH which generally means, no ressurrecting, no instakilling, no besting tzeentchian greater daemons singlehandedly in pure strength contest if you are good enough to kill a guardsman with any other weapon, i'll give you examples of how strong your character is after you have posted it.)
Special Items (Crux terminatus and other special things go here, including other awards): The marksmans honour on his left shoulder, the iron skull with the text "The Nightangel has come, flee" on right kneecap, a Crux Argentum hanging from a chain hal incorporated into the armour around the neck.
Appearance (Both with and without armour): With armour on he looks really frightening, a long marine in the typical fully black armor of the chapter and the chapter marking with the red eye on hsi right shoulder together with the golden marksman's honour on the left, the silver skull and text on the right kneecap and finally the Crux Argentum with the typical eye in the middle to show it belongs to a member of that specific chapter, hanging on its silver chain. The eyes of his power armour is ice-blue (you decide that, chapter markign is a red eye, a little sauron like, and arour is always fulyl black). When he does nto have his armour on he wears a long black robe, usually with a hood, over black clothes. When you see his face, almost only in battle since he shuns the sun, you can see that he has perfectly white skin, covered in scars, his whole left side of the face along wiht almost all of his body is one big mess from a fire and the area that is not burned is covered in a web of scars, the one you see the fastes after the burns is the one over his right eye. His own eyes matches the colour of the armour good but the arour can not really give you the sense of freezing that the real eyes does. His hair is long and blak and he usually ahs it in a ponytail to keep it out of the way. His scythe is made with a curved black hilt with iceblue writings from the end of the hilt all the way to the tip of the blade. It is a dual-edged weapon, the only of its kind. The bti where the normal edge is is black and separated from the other edge, which is blood red, by a silver coloured line. The bolter is totally black and does not shine.
That is how it should look, I want much info on your characters. Your characters might suffer from something though, black rage or something like that, that you might now want to show in teh beginning or such, that is fine, the characters is supposed to evolve some, jsut warn us others a little bit before.
