My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the emperor's name, let none survive.

Terms to Know:
(Adeptus) Astartes - The Space Marines. General term for all of the chapters/any number of marines.
Imperium - Mankind. The largest and last hope of humanity.
Imperial Guard - Basically the space army.
Imperial Space - The Galaxy
Gene-seed - Two glands, one situated in the neck, and the other deep within the chest cavity. These glands are vital to the survival of the Marine's Chapter, as they are a chapter's only source of new implants which create a Marine.

Deep in the Segmentum Obscurus, just within the Gothic Sector of Imperial Space, the Lethe system is one that lacks fortune in many ways. It has been one constantly plagued by the looming presence of The Darker Powers; this presence is an undeniably imposing one that lies a mere four thousand Light years away.

It is called Ocularis Terribus, or the Eye of Terror, and it is a gaping maw into the warp that haunts the entire galactic arm. In the past, Lethe had played host to the founding of the Flame Falcons, during the Cursed 21st Founding. Though foundings in the past had been in locales in more remote locations in the galaxy, no Founding was more 'Cursed' and few were as large as the 21st.

First cursed on this world were the White Consuls, a short-lived descendant of the Ultramarines, it was they who were commanded to watch over the Eye of Terror.

Four-thousand and fourty-nine years later, it the Flame Falcons.

The Flame Falcons Chapter was founded without conflict, as were many chapters on that day, but it is not what happened on the founding day that classifies it as "Cursed". The Flame Falcons, The Minotaurs and The Black Dragons, as well as other chapters of the Astartes, mutated in various ways. Others were just haunted with incessantly poor luck, but we will not speak of those at this time. The Black Dragons were subject to mutations, theirs being a zygote deformation that caused them to grow bony plates all about their bodies. The Flame Falcons, quite uniquely, were bathed in a flame that caused them no harm, making their name serve more true than expected.

Inquisitors maintain the harmony of humanity and restrain the advancement and mutation of the human genome. By definition, "The purpose of the Inquisition is to identify and destroy the myriad of potential threats to the Imperium and humanity." Where this jurisdiction ends cannot be said, but where it begins and what it entails is the human and any other race. Ordo Hereticus is what we speak of today; a sect of the inquisition completely dedicated to the investigation of and the uprooting and weeding out of heresy, mutation, and rogue psykers, in all forms, from humanity.

The poor luck and mutation of the Flame Falcons (and other chapters) served them as prime targets for an Inquisition. The Flame Falcons were eradicated by the Inquisition, and to knowledge, very few survived the slaughter that day.

In the end, the surviving Flame Falcons were declared Exocommunicat Traitorus or, Traitors to the Empire.

Now, years after that, in the year of our Emperor 999.M41, and with the 41st Millenium drawing closed, Chaos has peered its leery eye upon this system again. Rather than orchestrate a corrupted founding, it has merely 'blessed' this world with a new Heresy. Cults to the Dark Gods grow like tainted blisters covered enough with gauze to not be visible. The Corruption seethes and sinks and now, people have begun to feel the energies of Chaos beneath their feet. Subtle fetishes to Slaanesh and Nurgle are glimpsed in the streets of the hive-cities of Lethe II.

It is then that the Imperial Guards, those becoming suspect to the corruption, are given to the Lord Commander <INSERT NAME>. Granted the Macharian Cross during his conquests and born on Terra, <INSERT NAME> has arrived to drive the Lethe system back to Imperial Order and to root out the Chaos before an Inquisition becomes necessary. The poorly trained guard must be whipped into shape by the Lord Commander, and their belligerence against an off-world commander and otherwise solarphobia will be a challenge in itself.

Within the shadows, the forces of Chaos lurk as the four cults bolster themselves. Although every cult claims itself worthy of Lethe's control and completely dominant of the forces that be, the Cults of Nurgle and Tzeentch maintain themselves as the most powerful, with the Slaaneshian cult running up at the current time. Although the Khornate cult rises to its own occasion quite often, it is seemingly easily quelled each time. The plotters and the 'life-givers' will be an inherent challenge for the Imperial Guard as well, as their corruption seeps into the minds and hearts of the Imperial populous. The two cults, commanded by the self-declared, and highly mutated Mind-Seer of Tzeentch <NAME>, and the Lord Benedictor of the Greatfather <NAME>, (Greatfather meaning Nurgle) conflict with one-another annually and serve their God's alignment with fervor.

Now it is you who enter the Lethe system, and settle here, on Lethe II, seeking to make your fortune, fill your belly, or whatever your own personal goal may be. Perhaps you want to start a family. Mayhaps you wan
t to become Lord Solar. Whatever your cause or your intentions, Chaos is here, and it might be here to stay.

Hrmm seems like it may be kind of hard to do.... I totally would be a Nurgle cultist though no doubt about it.

Ragolution · « **Reply #2 on:** 08-02-2011 »

Well, you can see all the possible RP and I can admit it's really just to poke the Lions Cage.

Regardless, it'd create lots of suspense RP and fear.

Chaos would be incredibly tumultuous, and the cult of Nurgle and Tzeentch would both be shadow orchestrators while thier lesser minions tried to avoid getting raped by the IG.

Even Chaos Undivided will be included in this.
And once RP superdevelops, we can start using lesser daemons and calling in some Space Marine scouts.

And once that escalates, we'll have (Chaos) Marines and Dreadnoughts.
And then Obliterators and Terminators.
Then Predators and Leman Russes
Then maybe baneblades and Machariel tanks.
Shit, we could even have (Dark) Eldar get involved in this shit or have a tau incursion.
Last we'd have some fleets over the goddamn planet and something would happen.
Savage Orkz would be included, naturally, and maybe organized Orkz after some time.
Then we might need the ecclesiarchy to bring in the flamers and the multi-plas

The whole premise of the RP is really highly faceted.
Off the top of my head, I can think of these examples for an entry-level RP.

Imperial Guardsman.
Chaos Insurgent Guardsman.
Anti-Commander Guardsman.
Pro-Commander " "
Chaos Cultist (N)
Chaos Cultist (T)
Civilians can do basically anything but have guns.
Imperial Profligate
Chaos " "
Chaos Doomcaller (T & N)
Tau Refugee
Entry-Level Ecclesiarch
Adeptus Mechanicus
Street Preacher (Emperor)
Heretical Spy
Eldar Spy
Wild Orkz
Dark Eldar Spy
Heretical Insurgent
"Gifted" of Tzeentch (Mutated)
"Gifted" of Nurgle (Rotten)
Weapons Dealer (For Chaos)
Enslaved <ANYTHING> (Chaos)
Contraband Officer
Servitor Maintainer

I could go on

OH LOOK THAT LAST ONE WAS UPLOADED BY SILVER KNIGHT

The only real resource stumble is Orkz and we don't REALLY need to include them.
But I like the Waaagh!! in its glory...

Paintcheck · « **Reply #4 on:** 08-02-2011 »

How many of those are actually rigged properly? Because if you look at Fallout or Dark Messiah for example you will find no shortage of models but a lot of them need further work. Which is why Crussaria and FO have no content.

Ragolution · « **Reply #5 on:** 08-02-2011 »

WE WILL GET THE CONTENT.
IF I HAVE TO RECRUIT FIVE DEVELOPERS MYSELF, IT WILL HAPPEN.

The Space marine and Imperial Guard ones are rigged properly, so all we need is everything else.

The others would just end up being props/vehicles anyway.

This seems to have the most/best content.

They're mostly ragdolls from what I understand but it's the most comprehensive package.

If you have the means to recruit 5 devs can you point them toward FO or Crussaria as well?
I want to be an Inquisitor.

I believe you, Cutchy.

Thats cool, but you just need to see that getting dedicated devs to work for you is very hard.

There are a lot of them; however nobody will work for a non-existant community.

If you want me to consider this your going to have to provide valid links to valid usable content. Aka playermodels (Not ragdolls). I only know of rigged imperial guard models and some old space marine models. That's pretty much it.

There will be plague marines. Later, though.

Update: I now have 2 Developers, a Mapper, an 'Art Director' and a Host.
Art Director is a ceremonial term. He just rips DoW2 models.

Sidenote: Who liked my story?

Ravanger · « **Reply #21 on:** 11-02-2011 »

I still have an attraction for Warhammer 40k, I used to collect and build props and stuff for the board when I was a kid.
I can imagine making a map for it must be so much fun, would of been my dream when I was a kid.

Ragolution · « **Reply #24 on:** 11-02-2011 »

SO MUCH ADMIN SUPPORT. SO MUCH.

It's nice to know everyone's interested.
