The Calm Before the Swarm

[barkblast334]

Well, I'm back. I've been away for the better part of a year, but I'm back! And it's time for a new roleplay, methinks.

So, a storyline. Well, now...

A desert world. Who knows what lurks under the sands? (Me, and it's a stranded 'nid Hive Ship and a couple of Necron Catacombs)

So, endless dunes. A practically featureless wasteland, the gold outline of massive amounts of sand only broken by occasional stone peaks. No water. A planet defined by one topographical feature. Sand.

Rules: Well, you know me. (or you may not.)
Be courteous to other players.
No outright kills of other players (pisses people off, mostly. Or starts 'em godmodding.)
No godmodding!
Just keep a cool head and some common sense and we should get along just fine.

[barkblast334]

Ok. So, more storyline, plus my character.

So, this is a desert world, right? Let's say it's called Dria.

Dria, land of sand.

On suspicion of Xenos infection, the White Scars have began to enact a purge on Dria. There have also been reports of massive warp fluctuations and Eldar aspect warriors have been sighted in the Northern Canyon.

There are two major topological features: one mountain with organic bio-signs emanating from deep within it, and an entrance into a massive cave system. It is suspected that Necron warriors are buried there, as the scout teams, while not making it out alive, did manage to send out a voxcast message.

The White Scars have established a temporary outpost in the Western pass. Their orders, in this order, are to: examine and if neccesary, purge bio-signs emanating from strange mountain to the East. Then, lead a team to the Necron catacombs and wipe them out. If the Eldar pose a cohesive threat, eliminate them.

Wow, that was fast. Couple more guys and we can probably start. Although, if no-one joins after this, we'll just start regardless. Ha, reunion, yeah! This is awesome.

[w00teldar]

if your using predator you should have expected al least me and zrascak to join

[barkblast334]

I guess.

[Zrascak]

You really thought I would sit out on a chance to play Zrascak in a RP with Predator present?

[mina]

Name: Kryss Talak
Age: 28
race: Human
subspecies: Eldar
Unit Type: Inquisitor Lady.
Weapons: a pair of Mirror blades, a pair of shrukien pistols.
Equipment: a Jet bike, a set of eldar armor covered in imperial seals.
special powers: she is a powerful psyker specilizing in the ability to strengthen herself and comrades. Although, she is capable of firing bolts of warp energy in a pinch.
Abilities: She is exceptionally fast and graceful for a human, so it is wondered by imperials if she is more Eldar than human.

[w00teldar]

(Mina, you would be dead. Kais escaped from the Imperium after she found out her heritage. However, a loyal inquisitor would probably kill them selves, i would suggest letting her have an Eldar weapon, letting her move sort of like an eldar, and having her an inquisito of the Ordo Xenos. it would make more sense.)

[mina]

ooc( You just said loyal didn't you, therefore you assume she is completely zealous and a martyr. The Imperium and Eldar have worked together before. She could always be a child from a coupling from one of those time periods. Her psychic powers had her taken in by the inquisitors at birth, and they made the decision not to sacrifice her (or whatever word you liek to say slaughter a innocent child.) She knows she is part Eldar, they know it, but like the catholic church, they turn their heads and ignore that fact so long as her loyalty never comes in to question. Her improved reflexes and speed make her a excellent inquisitor, and she is "loyal" so they never felt the need to kill her.)

Besides that, since when does this grouping look at all normal? We have a creature that is a mix of every race in existence, a Tranid, a Dark Eldar, a Half Eldar, and a Half Eldar. If we were being normal, the bio experiment would never exist. You got a problem with me but not him and that just seems soooo out there to me.)

[w00teldar]

(its because i have been in so many roleplays with Zrasck and Predator that i don't care, all i was saying was that you would be killed by the Ordo Xenos for being mutant filth, so would Kais if they got past her army.

[barkblast334]

OOC: I'm probably going to have to agree with Mina here. If she was indeed 'loyal' from birth, and from a inter-species coupling, then the inquisition may just have let her be. She has a point, y' know. Anywho, I'd also say we have enough people to start the RP. If anyone wants to join later, so be it.
__________________________________________________________________________

Something burned bright in the sky, and a high-pitched shrieking sound split the motionless air. A shadow moved over the dunes, getting closer and larger with every breath drawn, every second on the approach. A massive gout of sand spat up from behind a ridge and the fiery trail leading to the impact crater slowly faded.

A cylindrical shape that ended with a broad arrowhead-like shape lay nose-down in the sand. Hairline cracks started to appear on the side, and before long it split apart and a tall shadow walked forward. It turned it's head to the sky, watching other bright points of light, watching and waiting for it to show itself. It gave an alien roar of rage and anger, then turned to look over the dunes. Sand, endless sand. A land of sand. A pair of pale moons looked down on the desert, giving slight illumination. As the creature moved away from the shadow of the wreckage, one could see the two pairs of arms, one pair with a firearm of some kind, the other culminating in long, scything talons. It walked on hooved feet, and it's head was long and beastial. Black skin met silver carapace, and golden eyes smouldered in their sockets. Any bounty hunter, any smuggler, any desperate imperium lord knew this figure. He was a rogue, a ghost in the machine. A bounty hunter of the best degree. He was Predator.

[w00teldar]

(I concede my point, but because there are some people that don'y know Kais's background, here. Kais found out she was part eldar in the middle of a battle. her sisters turned on her, bt she escaped. she founded the Emperor's Blood, a group of mixed races that is out to end the rule of the Imperium)

Kais' Vampire Hunter streaked across the sky. She came upon the crater and landed the craft near it. She walked out of the ship, seeing the tyranid there. She felt a slight moment of fear, but then recognized the figure. "Predator!" Kais yelled, running close to the tyrnid. "Its been a long time."
