@NobodyPro - Alright, changed. I'll assume it's correct.

@Ships - Speed 9 is very good. I can't find example ships with more than 10 Speed. If you want fast, this is it. I'm not sure if it's lawful rules-wise, but that's just FFG's fault for making the damn things so complex. I'm sure Ghaz and his Excel ship-maker are trustworthy. And that has good weapons and armor worthy of a light cruiser, too.

EDIT: NobodyPro, Ghazkull, Yoink, you are free to choose one item from the Armoury for me to make an Acquisition roll for. Again, though, your Profit Factor is terrible, so don't expect much.

Pfft, you coward.

Rolling against around 32+10+30=72. If you fail this, damn.

[48] - ayup, it's yours.

Ack, finally got this finished.
Sorry for taking so long, guys. I've been tired and busy lately. Sorry if it's rubbish, blame Digital Hellhound. And Adwarf. And Errol. And the entire population of #bay12rtd. And the Olympic Games. And work. And that book I've been reading. And... Well blame whatever, just as long as you don't blame me. :P

Common Quality Inferno Pistol, because i feel lucky today.

EDIT:
the Ship name is still open i leave that to you guys on another note, the Two Parties with its turbulent past are yours to decide too.

Backstory for Venarius:

Venarius (or "Cross") was born on Ryza and after his education as Tech-Priest he joined an Explorator-Fleet. Back then he was like most of his kind: a technology-worshipping, alien-hating Priest. When the fleet explored a Space Hulk things changed however. While he was repairing a Com-Relay the Hulk started to enter the Warp again. While most of his colleagues could flee Venarius and several of his Colleagues were trapped on the Hulk. As it is with Space Hulks the thing was of course not empty and although the Tech-Priests were well armed years on a Space Hulk reduced their Numbers through accidents, madness, suicides and the occasional fight with other Beings trapped on the Hulk, till only Venarius was left. How and why he joined up with a group of Kroot on the Hulk remains a mystery he doesn't want to talk about but it can be safely assumed that he rescued one of them. The following years he surived the Horrors of the Warp and the Hulk together with these Kroot and when it finally left the Warp again established contact with a Kroot-Sphere. Having gained friends and respect among them Venarius stayed a while with them before returning into Imperial Space. However the Years on the Space Hulk have changed him and filled him with a goal. Machines were no gods to him anymore, they were tools to be used. Technology had something to do with Ingenuity and Creativity and not with the mindnumbing reassembly of things left behind by Ancestors. He knows that his ideas are radical and in the eyes of the Inquisition a sure path to a pyre but if he plays his cards well he may come out on top

Very Rare -20, Negligible Scale +30, so aiming for 42 or less.

And it's...

[96], ouch. You people have the worst luck when it comes to rolls I make. I foresee great things.

EDIT: That's everybody's Acquisition rolls. Only the simplest and most easily available succeeded, *sigh*. Now I only need Cael's goddamn app. It seems that we're going with Ghaz's ship, so; names?

EDIT2: I've put some ship names thrown up on IRC for you to vote on.

With the addition of Caellath's Seneschal to the crew, we are almost ready to go. You are flying the Tempest-class strike frigate by the name of... we'll, I'll check the poll in the morning.

I counted the average for everyone's characteristics for shits and giggles. Here they are;

Yoink: 36
Ghazkull: 39.7
bdthemag: 36.4
adwarf: 39.3
NobodyPro: 38
Pandemix: 38.5
Caellath: 42

I... think the results speak for themselves. And yet Cael claims he didn't fudge his rolls, hmm.

The group's Profit Factor is 33, I think. I've included our two Noble Born's +1 to PF and Cael's Duty Bound +1 - if you've got similar bonuses, do say so.

I'd still like backstories from people missing them.

I thought you might want to write it down here/expand on it, but fair enough. Here it is.

Quote from: bdthemag
There you go, my character is a former-guardsman Arch-Militant. Basically the backstory I'm planning on doing, is that he was rised on a Hive World and was randomly drafted to the Imperial Guard as a Tithe. After managing to survive his first battle against Chaos he quickly prove himself to be quite hardy, surviving battles where his side has suffered heavy casualties. After years of fighting, the stress was getting to him. He finally cracked during a battle against Chaos Heretics, his squad being slaughtered and him and the remaining survivors being dragged off for an unknown cause. He managed to escape days later, but refused to recount anything from what happened. After this event, he developed a bit of a nervous tic, a slight studder that get's worse when he's nervous. Despite this encounter, he continued to serve for a few more battles until being dismissed from the Imperial Guard by an Inquisitor for reasons not even known to himself.
