W40K: In Service to the Imperium: Episode Two (OOC/Closed)

[Bone Fort]

No, no, and no.

Seconded.

... though Bohemian Rhapsody is still a great song, just not fitting for this.

[Legital]

No, no, and no.

What do you suggest then?

Blue Oyster Cult and a side of Hall and Oates.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

No, no, and no.

Seconded.

... though Bohemian Rhapsody is still a great song, just not fitting for this.

Alright then:
Theme is We are the Champions.
Fight song is Colonel Bogey March.
Romance is "I don't Want to Set the World on Fire."

How's that?

[Bone Fort]

Alright then:
Theme is We are the Champions.
Fight song is Colonel Bogey March.
Romance is "I don't Want to Set the World on Fire."

How's that?

No. Just let it drop and everyone can decide on their own damn themes.

No. Just let it drop and everyone can decide on their own damn themes.

That is a wise decision.

The Vytorians shall have the Patton theme, obviously.
The Bangalores get Princes of the Universe.

[Segmentia]

What is this fascination with having musical themes?

[The Empire of Pretantia]

What is this fascination with having musical themes?

I don't know.

I changed my mind: The Skullers are posthumously awarded Princes of the Universe as their theme, and the Bangalores get Magic Carpet Ride; as they shall be pimping out their last taurus.

[Segmentia]

Not if it's against regulations, they won't.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Not if it's against regulations, they won't.

Damn. They will still blast Steppenwolf though.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Constine Laevon
Age:34
Gender:Male
Rank: Veteran Sergeant
Background:He was trained to be a hunter, coming from a family of hunters, at a young age. He learned to quietly stalk his prey and kill it as quickly and efficiently as possible without wasting time.He ended up in the Imperial Guard when his planet was first invaded by Orks then visited by hostile Eldar.He is very well trained, surviving multiple battles and successfully assassinated hundreds of enemy leaders and soldiers.He was wounded when a massive ork assault overran his forward base, sending his regiment in full retreat for the capital city with the Orks on their heels.He assisted in defending the spaceport from the Ork siege long enough for the civilians to get to the ships.However, he was knocked unconscious by falling debris.A close friend dragged him to a nearby waiting ship.He awoke in time to watch the surface of his home planet be bombarded to sand to completely annihilate the Ork infestation.He later learned he was the highest ranking person among the 320 survivors, many of whom were privates and a few dozen corporals,though many were also experienced soldiers.

Not bad. Just a couple small things. First off, that armor looks a little too...fancy, for Guard. Perhaps its not bulkier enough, I guess.
Also, some odd sentence structure things you've got going on. I think you're missing some pronouns at the beginning, but Im not going into that. Just make sure your sentences are fixed.

Find me some alternate armor, and you'll most likely be in.

[Arkotania]

Must be the side effect of writing 10 essays in 2 days. I'll try to find some better armor tomorrow, or perhaps use the unit editor on 40k game(with a screen picture followed by croping only the guardsmen). Basically I'll have everything cleaned up in the morning.

Why don't we just say "This, but picture it being a bit baggier"?

Company name: 6th Necromundan Heavy Infantry

Home world: Necromunda

Type of Company: Heavy Infantry. Severely lacking in the infantry part of things.

Commanding Officer: Major Veronica Sage

Company Motto: In the name of the Emperor, we fuck you up!

Number of Guardsmen: 103

Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 3 Sentinels (1 leg assembly FUBAR'd, 1 warped hull, 1 in good condition), 2 Siegfrieds (1 track system shot to hell, awaiting replacement parts. Other main gun sight not dialed in), 7 Venator Tauros light assault vehicles (3 major systems collapse- driveshafts cut, engines full of holes, armor with extensive melta-gun damage, all others fine), 2 heavy quad launchers (working condition), 6 bikes (4 operable, 1 gas tank blown off, 1 gear system melted).

Uniforms: Carapace armor is only worn in confrontations where exceptionally high risk is evident or where it is going to be extremely short. If it is, same coloring.


Reason the company was folded into the 27th: The Commissar and several Psykers were corrupted by Nurgle during a battle, unbeknownst to the rest of the regiment. Waiting until the regiment was pushed back into a small factory on the forge world, the Psykers and Commisars exploded, killing many and dazing many more, inviting the demons to kill most of the regiment. Those that were left held down for as long as they could before being forced to retreat, losing many vehicles in the process and barely making it on the last Dauntless class cruiser to exit the planet before an Exterminatus was ordered.

Miscellaneous info: Where lasguns would normally be issued, hellguns replace them. The shotguns they use are of a pattern that they more or less created by putting random parts together. A Lucius pattern shotgun is gutted, with the stock grip being replaced with the Accatran MK 34's pistol and extending stock combination, and the barrel is shortened considerably. Sickles replace the standard combat knife.

-Company Commander info-

Name: Veronica Sage

Age: 38

Gender: Female

Rank: Colonel

Background: Born on a feral world called Thitus, she was a member of a small settlement of humans that were trying to spread the word of the emperor to the Squats and other abhumans living there. Naturally, they failed, and were overrun, axes and spears hacking at legs until each one slowly fell to the ground to be brutally murdered. Cut down to size. Stumbling, half blind, her seven year old body covered with more cuts than skin she tumbled madly through the undergrowth for almost two days. Eventually the abhumans threw their hands in the air, said something along the lines of 'let the wild Grox eat her' and went home. For the next nine years she spent her time making a small homestead out of a cave and slitting throats of any abhumans she found; following them home and killing them in their sleep. This carried on for so long she became something of a demon among the local abhuman population, called 'Frey'eetha'. Literally, 'Devil's Maiden'. Seeing as it had been nine years since any contact had been made, a void ship from Necromunda was dispatched to see if the human population had died or just been totally corrupted by a chaos power. Lo and behold, they found this ragged, wild eyed girl cutting up Squats in the middle of the night. From the report, she was killing her thirtieth, the other twenty nine already dead. They took her back to Necromunda and gave her a spot in a Hab-block, as well as an education. Until she was twenty one, that is. Then they issued an ultimatum; join the Imperial Guard, or we toss you into the Under-Hive. Confronted with this decision, she joined the 6th Necromundan heavy infantry as a rifle-woman, where she quickly gained a reputation for swearing and being almost oblivious to pain, carving Secundus nulli into her right forearm as part of a bet without blinking an eye. After serving in three campaigns, each about five years long, and being promoted to captain, they were deployed on the Forge World of Vyron. After the former Regiment head was killed in the blast, an anonymous vote promoted her to major and therefore the leader of the regiment.

Physical description: 6'0 and with a lightweight build, at first glance she simply seems to be a tall pushover, someone that would easily be pushed over in a stiff breeze. Upon closer inspection, scars running across her body at seemingly random, green eyes lethally perceptive and raven hair with the appearance of being cut by a crude instrument (her combat sickle), most stay well away. Major scars include the afore mentioned Secundus nulli on her right forearm, and another running from her left temple to her right ankle.

[Bone Fort]

I believe the highest rank you can be is Major.

I believe the highest rank you can be is Major.

Then I will edit accordingly.

[Kowloon-California]

Company name: 6th Infantry Company, Formerly of the 22nd Sarkel Volunteers

Home world: Sarkel, a relatively small and prosperous civilized world,

Type of Company: Light Infantry

Commanding Officer: Lieutenant Kutznetsov

Number of Guardsmen: 402

Support (Weapons, vehicles, etc): 10 Heavy Bolters, 2 Autocannons, 2 Lascannons, 3 Mortars, 20 missile launchers (Flamers, Heavy Stubbers, Grenade Launchers distributed at tactical level in company as well)

Uniforms: http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h333/Toast351/k190782_ChineseWW2NationalRevolutionaryArmytroopsins.jpg Generally something like this with lasguns of course, with two colors of fatigues issued to every man, khaki and light grey.

Reason the company was folded into the 27th: Due to a clerical error the rest of the 22nd Sarkel Volunteers were sent ahead on a different transport. The 22nd Sarkel Volunteers were lost in the warp, presumably all consumed by demons. The 6th Company arrived unscathed and the inexperienced recruits were folded into the Stormtrooper regiment on account of the need for more manpower and the good performance of the Sarkel PDF. (Which isn't saying much)

Miscellaneous info: The men of the Sarkel 6th Infantry company are primarily recruited from the few major cities of Sarkel. The planet is a mild and prosperous one, many of them have never known hardship. They come with the well polished look of a force that has seen too many parades and too little combat. Despite a strict training regimen, almost all of the men are only of average height and build. The 22nd Sarkel Volunteers was raised primarily from the university students of the PDF Reserve on Sarkel eager to abandon their boring lives. The men possess a powerful espirit de corps. 100% literacy level amongst the Guardsmen, but only possess basic wilderness survival skills.

Name: Zuriel Kutznetsov

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Rank: Lieutenant (awaiting field promotion to Captain)

Background: Lieutenant Kutznetsov was the second son of the Imperial Governor of Sarkel, Pontius Kutznetsov, he was enrolled in a prestigious military academy (or as prestigious as a planetary institution can get) on Sarkel. When news arrived that Sarkel would raise several more Imperial Guard regiments, the governor was more than happy to forward his own son's name to the front of the lists. He is inexperienced and young, but everyone above him has been killed off. Kutznetsov is now one of the few officers left in the company, acting as the commander of what is left with the help of a few veteran sergeants. He possesses a very intelligent and sharp military mind, but can often be overly cautious with how he manages his troops. Absolutely no actual combat experience but graduated with honors at his military academy.

Physical description: Dark brown hair, medium height and a slim build, 5'8'', very prim and proper in appearance and always takes special care in maintaining an image of professionalism, wears a thin "gentlemanly" mustache.

Very good. I like a good application like this. Inexperienced recruits like this is good. Should prove interesting in a regiment of veterans.

I see you edited for Major, so everything checks out. Interesting to have a living legend amongst us, even if they lived in a cave and cut up squats.

Accepted.


Also, I am closing this now. If you reserved a spot or was from the previous RP, you are still allowed to apply.

Edit: I thought I should add this as well; the IC may be up tomorrow. If not, then Friday at the latest.

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=207082

For the record, Segmentia, Pretantia, and myself do not have reappearing companies (save for a very few survivors). The battle in the OP of this topic never happened in the IC, however its how its been decided to end the first episode. Aelosia will be returning she said, with the same company.

Should be fun.
