IC thread

So, this is the OOC/interest thread for the RP I've had in mind for awhile. The basic idea is that each RPer will assume the role of an individual company in an Imperial Guard regiment. I was originally going to have everyone of the same world, but decided to take a different approach, so people could have some degree of customization. How would so many companies from different worlds be put in the same regiment, you ask? I figured that the original regiment, the 1162nd Cadian, would have been dragged across the galaxy, being thrown into the fray to defend various worlds from whatever threat faced them. After each battle, to make up for the losses, they would take a number of the local forces and add them to the regiment. This would continue until the regiment reached its current configuration

I would also like to keep persistent stats for the various companies, to add more realism to the whole thing. So if you are interested, fill out a company application and post it, and we'll see how it does. Obviously we can't have everyone be a tank company, or all of something else. There should be more infantry companies then other types, as we will be a Line Regiment.

Company name(Can just be the name of the regiment the company was pulled from): 1th Imperial Swords
Home world: Mercina
Type of Company: Aerial Assault
Commanding Officer: Commander Rebecca Durnn
Number of Guardsmen: 800 Men and Women (Can be smaller if needed)
Support(Weapons, vehicles, etc):15 Valkyries, 5 Chimeras, 8 heavy bolters, 50 flamers
Uniforms:

Miscellaneous info: the 1th Imperial Swords from Mercina Battle Regiment,would be from the planet Mercina, a imperial world in the Segmentum Ultima sector of imperial space. Mercina is a world not unlike most other imperial worlds, having a population of over 5 billion and having many small looks of a normal imperial world but there are some great differences that separated it from the rest of the Imperuim.

First, The world's government is indeed democratic and elects a new Imperial Governor every five years. Most of the population is allowed to vote (Only the scum and other low lives are not thanks to ancient law).

Second, they are highly devoted to the God Emperor as they believe that in the ancient times of the Great Crusade when Mercina was liberated by the Emperor from a demonic tyrant known as Aoldf the Terrible. After this liberation, The God Emperor allowed the newly saved world to return to it's once democratic government, by making the promise of bowing before the Emperor's rule and to fight in his name when called on.

Third and lastly, the Mericna Battle Regiment use a style of aerial assault and paratrooper type not unlike the Elysian Drop Troops.

The reason for the Imperial Swords being folded into this new regiment thanks to a airborne assault of a Necron Battle Monolith five worlds away from this newest battlefield. Losing a good part of their original Regiment to the Necrons and to the massive explosion that came from the Monolith's destruction.

Company Commander info:
Name: Colonel Rebecca "Cold Heart" Durnn
Age:42
Rank: Colonel
Background: Rebecca Durnn is the colonel of the 1st Imperial Swords from the planet Merinca and is one of the toughest women to come out of the Guard. She was recruited when she was very young and has been in the guard for almost all her life, climbing her way up the leadership ladder ever since. She is a skilled and brave commander who cares deeply about her soldiers yet is very cold to her fellow higher ups in the guard...she is known to many fellow officers as "Cold Heart" which amuses her greatly. She has killed many types of enemies of the Imperium, from Orks to Eldar and even a chaos marine chamipon...which was her greatest kill since she stuck her personal chainsword into the marine's....well lets just say it was not a good day for that chaos marine champion

Company name: C Company; origin, 8th Skavakor "Skullers"
Home world: Skavakor
Type of Company: Heavy infantry
Commanding Officer: Major Edouard van Ries (former Colonel, demoted to streamline command structure)
Number of Guardsmen: 216
Support(Weapons, vehicles, etc): 10 heavy bolters, 6 other support weapons, 1 Salamander, 2 Crassus transports, 4 Leman Russes
Uniforms: White fatigues with matte-black armor padding. The helmet's mask is worked in the shape of a skull's mouth.
Miscellaneous info: Drummed into the 1162nd Cadian after their regiment bore the brunt of a Genestealer uprising and was decimated. The high-powered Idrus Pattern lasgun is their primary armament.

Company Commander info:
Name: Edouard van Ries
Age: 45
Rank: Major
Background: Born on Skavakor, a dead planet firebombed by Chaotic forces many ages before where only the underground tunnels survived and continued Imperial civilization, Edouard lived on the rough tunnel-streets until the Skullers did a "recruitment" op into the slums to capture recruits. Breaking the teenage boy that was Edouard, he was indoctrinated with hardcore Imperial values and the Skuller creed- "Kill for the Killed!", in remembrance for the massacre of their ancestors so long ago.
Physical description: Tall, incredibly pale and fair-haired due to living his entire life underground or in armor, cold grey eyes with little emotion. Having seen the worst of war in the 41st millennium, Edouard is inured and all but emotionless like so many of his kindred back on Skavakor. Nevertheless he is endlessly determined, driven and fierce in his loyalty and faithfulness.

Company name(Can just be the name of the regiment the company was pulled from): Higaran 21st Armored
Home world: Higara
Type of Company: Armor
Commanding Officer: Major Ibram Hess
Number of Guardsmen: 390 Guardsmen divided into vehicle crews. (Without the addition of support troops not used in combat)
Support(Weapons, vehicles, etc): 35 Leman Russ Main Battle Tanks, 20 Leman Russ Vanquishers, and 10 Griffons. (Without the addition of support vehicles not used in combat)
Uniforms: Grey jacket and pants Imperial Guard fatigues, along with Tanker helmets with built in vox and intercom units. Brown leather holsters are issued as well, including re-breathers.
Reason the company was folded into the 1162nd: The original 21st Higaran Armored regiment, numbering nearly one-hundred Leman Russ tanks, was decimated from a terrible Ork WAAGH! alongside various other armor and infantry regiments. The battle was long and viscous, but eventually the Imperials came through, limping and weeping over the loss of comrades.
Miscellaneous info: Just like the personal uniforms, the armor vehicles are all painted a light grey.

Company Commander info:

Name: Ibram Hess
Age: 44
Rank(Preferably something below Colonel): Major
Background: Hess served a short time within the PDF as a standard infantryman, and he learned the basics of infantry combat (something which proved to be valuable knowledge as a tankman). After his service, he decided the Imperial Guard was where he was needed and wanted to be. He enlisted for the Higaran 21st armored, and proved to be a capable crewmen and tank commander.
Over the years, thanks to his intelligence and level head, he ascended the hierarchy of the regiment, and found himself a spot as the second in command. He served well, and when that horrible last battle came which decimated their regiment, he saw the death of the regiments beloved commander. The men looked to Hess for leadership now, and he vowed he would never let them down.
Physical description: Tall, broad shouldered and rather lean. Hess appears rather older than he actually is, but he maintains the fitness of a young Guardsmen. His hair is brown, slicked back, and he sports well trimmed brown sideburns as well as a handlebar mustache. His cheeks are rather concave, with high cheekbones. Like all Higarans, Hess is pale skinned.

Company name:Uber Reichers 34th
Home world:Vherma (Just ask for info.)
Type of Company:Siege.
Commanding Officer:Alexis Kolumbein.
Number of Guardsmen:1000
Support(Weapons, vehicles, etc):20 Leman Russ Tigers. (Tiger Tanks/Leman Russ's) 100 augmented horses and 600 heavy weapons. 20 Centaur assault vehicles. 200 quad mortars and 50 Earth-shakers. 10 Minotaur artillery tanks and 5 Praetor armoured assault launcher, topping it off with 6 Thunder siege tanks.
Uniforms:

Miscellaneous info:Uses the Vhermactia level las-rifle, which can take down a Ork Boy in three shots but drains after only ten shots, can come in semi or fully automatic form. They also manufacture tomahawks and swords that replace the standard combat knife. Thanks to their planet being a barren wasteland after a war fought between a Chaos space marine force and 2 Death Korps/Steel Legion regiments. The Vhermactians embraced their saviours customs and used gas-masks and trench-coats in battle.

The Company was placed into the regiment after one of it's battles against the Tyranids. Thus replacing some of their heavy losses.

Company Commander info:She carries a plasma pistol and a tomahawk crafted by the Vherma factories but un-like the other swords and tomahawks which could cut through tough Tyranid shell, this one was given a power field, allowing it to dispatch even tougher enemies. Her personality is rather bubbly and friendly. Which has kept company moral up.
Name:Alexis Kolumbein.
Age:29
Rank(Preferably something below Colonel): Uber-Reichen. (Company Commander in Vhermactian.)
Background:Born to a high level commander and a tech-priestess, Alexis was trained in both ways of life and when she reached the age of 16, she joined the Vhermactia Guard. (WW2 GEERMANS IN SPAAAACE.) She then survived against a massive Ork WAAAAGH, where she and her company were surrounded, she used her tomahawk to fight off a nob and make the Ork forces retreat while her squad dropped Ork after Ork off, using their swords when they ran out of ammo. She finished the nob off after two hours, the Ork forces then retreated but her squad were all but killed or injured. For her actions she was promoted but as was Vhermactia custom she was given no medal but instead a highly detailed trench-coat.

Company name: 4th Thermidor Mechanized Spitfires. "The Thermidor Maidens"
Home world: Thermidor
Type of Company: Artillery Company
Commanding Officer:

Company Motto: "From Far Unleashed"
Number of Guardsmen: 210
Support(Weapons, vehicles, etc): 4 Basilisks (Vanaheim Pattern), 4 Griffons, 4 Manticore, 3 Hydra, 1 Macharius Vulcan Tank, 2 Chimeras, several support Trojan vehicles and Salamander Scout and Command vehicles.
Uniforms:

Officers wear a crimson and black variant of the uniform.
Reason the company was folded into the 1162nd: The 4th Thermidor Spitfires was supposed to gather with other armoured companies and infantry complements when the spacecraft carrying them suffered serious and irrepairable damage. The troop barge stopped at the orbit of the planet the 1162 was based on before the captain gave the order to scuttle the vessel. Now stranded and with the rest of their former expedition long gone, the new orders were to be assimilated into the 1162th to provide accurate artillery support and power.
Miscellaneous info: The 4th Thermidor Spitfire is a segregated regiment. It is entirely composed by women. In Thermidor's warlike culture, it is extremely dishonorable for a male to man such a weapon as an artillery piece, but the tacticians of the world recognized the need to have support artillery regiments for the Thermidor male troops, specialized in siege assault warfare, but no recruit would willingly form part of an artillery complement. The answer was to employ women. All "support" regiments raised in Thermidor are composed of women, as main line assaults are a privilege for men. The 4th Thermidor is the oldest all-female artillery support regiment, and have a reputation for discipline and dedication to duty. It is known as the "Thermidor Maidens" as legend says that once upon a time, the first women that formed the lines were all unmarried virgins. Truth or not, it is a tradition that all women recruited for the 4th must be single and have no children. The current Commander, with the aim of avoiding possible desertion causes, have made mandatory for all soldiers of the regiment to be rendered sterile temporarily.

The regiment organization follows strict procedure, revised and perfectioned by the current commander, Major Vanhayn. The regiment is composed by three artillery batteries, each composed by six vehicles and under the command of a captain. The First Battery is made by 4 Vanaheim-pattern Basilisks, a support self-propelled Hydra flak tank, and a Centaur support vehicle, under the command of Captain Valerie Valentine Irvine Ledgant. Second Battery is composed by 4 Manticore Missile Launchers, a support self-propelled Hydra flak tank, and a Centaur support vehicle, under the command of Captain Corelia Carmine Lexington Thorndyke. Third Battery is composed by 4 Griffon Siege Self-propelled mortars a support self-propelled Hydra flak tank, and a Centaur support vehicle, under the command of Captain Maud Mabel Astoria Sheratt. The command post resides inside the massive bulk of the Inflecto Maestus, Major Vanhayn's Super Heavy Macharius Vulcan Tank, a relic of several millennia ago.

Company Commander info:
Name: Victoria Vanhayn
Age: 36
Rank(Preferably something below Colonel): Major
Background: Victoria Vanhayn have served in the 4th her entire military career, although she is no ordinary grunt as many of her thermidorian male counterparts. Victoria Aleinne Isabeau Katherine Vanhayn Debois Castel, second child and first daughter of the Vanhayn-Debois House, graduated with the highest honors from the engineering university of Thermidor, and it was a surprise when she volunteered for the imperial tithe in place of a younger brother. Back then the 4th was also recruiting replacement officers, so she decided to join as an adjuntant to the commander, previous study in a Scholam Progenium, during which she was sought to be indoctrinated first as an ecclesiarchy Sister and then as a Commissar, but her mentors found her lack of piety disturbing. Thanks to her advanced knowledge of mechanics and physics, even although she managed to displease most of her Adeptus Mechanicus teachers. Her ascension through the ranks was progressive, passing as lieutenant, captain and finally major, the highest rank any Thermidor woman can attain in the armed forces. Her ascent was also a bit slow, as usually is in artillery regiments, that suffer relatively lesser casualties both amongst troops and officers than other regiments. Major Victoria Vanhayn is an experienced commander of artillery, and have retained her post for 5 years and three consecutive campaigns, although she is a bit oblivious about any other aspect of warfare. She tends to think of her troops as specialists, and demand to be used as such.
Physical description: Tall, blonde, aloof and always perfectly groomed. Her uniform is usually flawless. She tends to speak little, and rarely barks or shouts commands. She is also polite, although not at all excessively courteous. Her soldiers, however, seem to follow her orders quite easily, as they for the most part follow extremely logical ways of thought and reflect an acute common sense.

PS: I added the "company motto" part, I thought you might find it interesting. Also, editted some parts.

Accepted, of course.

And that's a good idea. I'll put it in the application for anyone who wants to provide one.

Company name(Can just be the name of the regiment the company was pulled from): The Boyz
Home world: Everywhere
Type of Company: Ork
Commanding Officer: Doomz Blasta
Number of Guardsmen: 1541
Support(Weapons, vehicles, etc): 1000 sluggas , 400 shootas, 100 big shootas, 10 deffcoptas armed with twin linked rokkit launcha, 100 nobs with power klawz and big shootas, 30 Killa Kan, 1 extra power klaw, 1501 choppas (These are automatic I know but adding this into it seeing you said weapons), Beamy 'Deff Gun
Uniforms: Uniforms are not required and what they wear tends to be put together at random.
Reason the company was folded into the 1162nd: The fast reproduction of the orkz made them a perfect addition to the company. The orkz are from spores that were picked up from the battle field and lead by an ork entirely loyal to them. They have to be well guarded though as they do tend to release spores on the planets they are supposed to be helping.
Miscellaneous info: A group of people always follows them around burning the spores that are dropped, they do not take part in the fights. They should stay away from fertile lands and cities as they will end up destroying them with their spores. The group following them also picks up samples of spores for breeding purposes and for creating newer brighter orks.

Company Commander info:
Name: Doomz Blasta
Age: 108
Rank(Preferably something below Colonel): Holds no rank among people other then his Orkz
Background: He was a normal ork until one day he lead a group of fighters against the 1162nd company. He was knocked out and captured by the 1162nd company to lead their new ork troops under the logic that only an ork could lead other orks. Afterwards he was reconditioned to become the perfect leader of the orks and to be loyal to the cause. Since then he has become atleast a somewhat good leader and is now oddly able to make complete sentences. He can get along well with people other then orks now but he still prefers his orks.

I think if we get a Sapper company, we should be set.

But any thought on who the regiment should fight first?

Personally, I was thinking Savage Orks, though who still have some normal Ork firepower. More of a teething experience. That way the various companies can get a feel for the others. Though feel free to share your thoughts.

What about explorers/light infantry? Like scouts and stuff? Or should be rely on the paratroopers for that??

And well, orks are always a good start

Forgot about light infantry. Odd, since I'm reading a book about light infantry. I'll see if I know anyone who would be up to signing up as either.

Right than, a light infantry company and a sapper company.
