Shadow of Sin

[Green Triangle]

The ship creaked then shuddered. 'Commander, we are passing into an unstable sector. I suggest we turn this ship around and leave.' Said a pilot.
'No. We must continue in this direction. Its the fastest route to the station. We must get there on time.' Said the commander.
'But sir, even the radar is messed up! Its telling me there should be a big asteroid or something like that, right where we are!'
'I dont care, the tech priests probably didnt fix it properly. Now continue in this direction. Full speed.'

There was a sudden, bright flash of white light as the realspace around the small ship tore apart. Out of the rip came an object of unbelievable proportions, a mighty space hulk, huge even by their standards. The small ship was smacked away by the white blast and it spun off and crashed into the space hulk.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





This is a role play about a space hulk that has recently entered realspace. It is currently unknown if it harbours any form of life, but genestealers are believed to be aboard. Because of their incredible cleansing of the last space hulk, The Sin of Damnation, the Blood Angels have been selected by the Imperium to Search the hulk, and destroy any Xeno they may find.

You will play as either a Blood Angel or a Tyranid. You can be:

Terminator: You will have a powerfist/chainfist and a storm bolter.

Terminator sergeant: You will have a Storm bolter and power sword, but you can have a thunder hammer and storm shield, or any combination of the four. (please not too many of these guys)

Chaplain Terminator: Anything you want as long as it isnt a Flamer or Assault cannon. (We can only have one chaplain)

Assault terminator: You can choose a heavy flamer or an assault cannon. You also have a powerfist. (Only 1/3 of the terminators can be assault terminators please)

Librarian Terminator: You have a storm bolter and any power/force weapon of your choice. You also have psychic powers. (Again, only one of these Terminators)



Purestrain genestealer: You have only claws and teeth as weapons, but you are extremely agile, fast and strong.

Genestealer patriarch: You are the biggest and oldest genestealer aboard the space hulk. You are strong and powerful beyond reckoning, and you are more than a match for any Terminator. (the first purestrain player will have the choice to be a patriarch, if he doesnt want to be, the next purestrain gets the choice)

Broodlord: You are more powerful than a purestrain, but are not nearly as strong as the mighty patriarch. You have claws and teeth as your weapons, but you also have a hypnotic stare, which you can use to incapacitate enemies. (only 1/4 of the genestealer players can be broodlords)

Hybrid: You are capable of using some technology, but you are relatively slow and clumsy when compared to your purestarin cousins. You are also weak and are unable to take much punishment before you die. You can choose to have armour. The first hybrid will have the choice to be a Magus, who is slightly psychic, and the closest advisor of the patriarch. Hybrids are capable of understandable speech.

Please note that we do not need equal teams, but please no god modding. It is indeniable that you will most likely die. If you do get killed, your next post should tell us what you are being next.

If you are a genestealer, your character should be like this:

Type: [Purestrain/Hybrid/Broodlord]
Description: (any random facts about your genestealer)
Biomorphs: (Hybrids can choose to have a mutated claw/s*, but BL and PS can have the usual biomorphs)

*The mutated claw/s is basically a genestealer claw instead of a hand. All hybrids have two/three arms.

If you are a Terminator, your character should look like this:

Name:
Type: [Librarian/Chaplain/Assault/Sergeant/Regular]
Weapons:
Description/Bio: (facts about your Blood Angel)

[Green Triangle]

Type: Purestrain
Description: This purestrain is a darker blue than than the average purestrain, almost black. It has bright yellow eyes.
Biomorphs: Two sets of rending claws.




The genestealer twitched, and looked around at the massive bulkhead. Its companions did the same. A faint glow lit up the dark room, where a laser cutter was cutting the bulkhead from the other side. All of the genestealers left the room through holes in the ceiling and walls. There was a sudden crash and the bulkhead flew inwards. Blood Angels walked in and surveyed the area around them.

They spread out and found that the whole area was empty. There was no sign of life for about one and a half miles, so they called the remainder of their forces and they claimed this area as their base of operations.

[Lord Sandwich]

Time for pure evil. BWAHAHA!

Type: Purestrain (Patriarch? Yes please)
Description: A nightmare from beyond deepest reckoning, the Genestealer codenamed "Venomlurk" by the Blood Angels is more than a match for even the toughest of warriors. Its strength, stealth, and sheer cunning will require the utmost cooperation from the Blood Angels to defeat. The hide of Venomlurk is a dark, glistening purple, and its claws are dripping in deadly toxins that allow it to cut through even the thickest of plasteel, so nowhere on the ship is truly safe. Beyond this, nothing much is known about Venomlurk, as few have survived long enough to provide a detailed report.
Biomorphs: Well, aside from being one of the biggest, baddest Genestealers around, Venomlurk has toxin sacs (obviously), scything talons, and acid blood.

EDIT: Bah, I see I was beaten out by the OP. I'm assuming his post does NOT count, and am calling dibs on Patriarch.

IC: Deep in the belly of the Space Hulk, a dark, hunched figure stirred for the first time in decades. Rising out of dormancy at the telepathic signal sent by one of the Brood, Venomlurk hissed and slithered out of the chamber. There were many active Genestealers already, and it was time to join them in a hunt.

A hunt for Blood Angels.

[Hellbreaker]

Name: Nomoar Braytlayt
Type: Librarian
Weapons: Force weapon (Hammer) and Storm bolter
Description/Bio: As a young member of the Blood angels 4th company, Nomoar fought his way to higher ranks within the company as a Librarian. Although being a skilled user of the warp he prefers hand-to-hand combat using his mighty force hammer to zap the life out his foe. He was therefore assigned to a squad of Terminators entitled the dangerous mission of space hulk clearing.

Cheers!

Terminator: Brother Zepherinus

Weapons: Chainfist, Storm Bolter

Zeperinus came to wear Terminator armor after his unparalleled performance in a battle against the Emperors Children.
He singlehandedly delivered quick death upon his enemies after a successful ambush wiped out the rest of his unit.
Brother Zeperinus favors his chainfist, and prefers to be up close (& downright brutal) with his attacks.
His cause is a just cause. His zeal is so dominant in his presence it's almost a visible feature.

[Alta]

Colloquial Reference: Ta'shtk'la

Xenos Classification: Corporaptor Primus

Description: A two and a half metre tall beast that will kill without reason or remorse. Photon-fast reflexes, unnatural psychic potential, unmatched intelligence, an incredible ability to shrug off even the most powerful blows - this creature is not one to be taken lightly.

Unique features:
An as yet unseen hand adaption. ++Sketch by xeno-artisan Roberto Cirillo++ It is the ultimate assassination weapon. It can shoot out, instantly killing anyone it imbeds itself into.


Known history: Only seen in the Tau Empire. It was involved in a few skirmishes involving a tau commander known as O'Korst'la. The broodlord (known colloquially as Ta'shtk'la - The Souleater) seemed to have an almost personal vendetta against O'Korst'la and a shaper named Anghuta.
The 3 of them were buried in a glacier on a Tau world, so there is no more threat to the Imperium whatsoever of this beast...

Hybrid
Name: Zatyzk
(I'll take the Magus)
Description: Weaker than it's cousins and designed by the hive for infiltration this hybrid is slightly psychic and capable of speech and often mimics humans in order to get closer to it's prey. Usually choosing the form of a female in danger it then leaps out showing the true horror that it really is with claws and teeth.
Biomorphs: Rending claws+Scything Talons. It also has Extended Carapace.

[Esiphas]

Hybrid
Name: kalhtor
Biomorphs:toxin sacs, scything talons, a rail rifle attached to his lower arms as though it is actually part of it, claws and teeth, tau stealth suit armour. (his head pokes out where the normal taus head would be, and his arms poke out of the normal slot, and a special slot he "engineered" into it, for his scything talons. the feet armour is removed so his feet can move normally.

or

name- nagathor (naga for short)
type- genestealer cult etheral
Biomorphs: toxin sacs and scything talons, extended carapace.
Description: looks like a genestealer, but slightly more humanoid. stands upright, his scthing talons are tucked away inside a long black cloak he wears, which enable him to become one with the shadows, almost. his other sets of hands look like blunt rending claws, but thinner, and they hold an honour blade, although this is covered in a thin layer of poison from a defeated genestealers toxin sacs.

i will use the second one if thats ok, but the first if not.

[Green Triangle]

@skulduggery: The second character is fine



We should probably have another blood angel, if another Blood Angel doesnt join, I'll change to Blood Angels.

[Esiphas]

great. if i can have 2 chracters, i will command a blood andgel too.

[Green Triangle]

Yes, as long as they lead completely seperate parts in the RP, (completely seperate), you can have two.

[Captain Malachi]

Well I need to get back in to roleplaying, so what the hell.

Name: Malachi (of course).
Type: Regular.
Weapons: Stormbolter, powerfist.
Description: Malachi earned his terminator honours when he single handedly took down a hive tyrant at the battle of Themota prime, and while the battle was ultimately a loss, his heroism enabled his unit to escape with far fewer casualties than they otherwise would have suffered. Since then, he has proven himself as a stalwart and dependable fighter, never giving up in the face of danger. His comrades know he can be counted on, and respect him for it.

Unlike many Blood Angels, Malachi prefers to fight from a distance with his trusted storm bolter, though he is more than capable of fighting with his powerfist, as would be expected of an elite terminator. His aim is well known among the Blood Angels, and when not training on his own he is sometimes called in to train the newer members in ways to improve their aim. In fact, it was a well placed headshot that earned him his terminator honours in the first place.

Ok I just realised I'll end up going on for about ten paragraphs if I don't stop, and I think you've got enough detail for this roleplay.

[Esiphas]

when you say completely seperate, what do you mean? i have fought myself in a roleplay before, and done so without any problems before. plus, i go where the master of the cult does. and i thing a certain person knows who created the gene stealer cult.

dont you alta? (either that, or im getting stories mixed up)

[Green Triangle]

By completely seperate I mean that you can't fight yourself, the closest your characters can get is seeing each other, you can kill your other character, but no badass fight with him.

Example:

The terminator kicked the solid door and it flew off its hinges, there was a horrid sight before him, human bodies on the floor, writhing with internal spasms, behind the heap of bodies, sat a huge patriarch, its massive claws were coated with an alien venom, and it made vile bestial growls as it looked at him. He walked forwards, firing his storm bolter and he grimaced as they blew chunks out of its sinewy body.

He saw something in the corner of his eye and turned around to confront the new enemy, but it was too late. The magus drove its venom-coated blade into his gut, and he felt his skin burning as the venom traveled through his bloodstream. He dropped to the floor, and attempted to grab the Magus and crush it with his fist, but it simply took a step back and then stabbed him a second time. The last thing he saw before it all went black, was the Magus, grinning at his kill.

[Green Triangle]

We start the rp now, you can still join even though we've started, just make sure we know youve joined.
