A lithe woman in plate armour, engraved with angular curves and a blocky eagle across the chestpiece. The visor is a solid piece molded like a bird's face and beak, coated in copper, to represent her rank among the knights of her homeworld. It has a bright crest of green-gold feathers, like those of a peacock in a fan shape above it. The armour itself is old and battered, the back covered by a cloak of the same feathers. A combat vest provides a series of pouches along the waist and legs of the armour.

Her skin is a pale white, her brown-almost-to-black eyes like holes in her skull, baggy and tired. Her body is bereft of any fat, the muscles showing beneath the skin and scars. Typically, her faceplate is up, and a Lho-stick lazily trails smoke into the air. Without the helmet, her dark hair cascades messily to her shoulders.

Chalchuitlicu was a knight of the court of Acolhua, on the world of Tlacopan. With her skill, she reached the rank of Copper Eagle, but she was never able to make the true allies of friendship. Without steadfast allies, she would be unable to complete the trials to reach Silver Eagle, a much more prestigious position. Something about her seemed to put people on edge, and none could truly say they could stand her presence.

As they did every twenty years, the sky-men descended to take warriors for the battles against the enemies of the Sky-Emperor. She volunteered to be one of those sent from the court to join the Imperial Guard, as the sky-men called their knights, as perhaps in the distant star-battles she would gain recognition by the Sky-Emperor. A chance meeting made her part of the Inquisitor's retinue - he and his warband had decided to recruit the best of the new intake, and his psyker instantly recognised her nature as an 'blank'.

She was taught to use the sun-lances - the las weapons - of the sky-men, but she nonetheless prefers the feel of good steel in her hand.

BACKGROUND
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deacon was raised on a highly-contested (between Empires, not within itself) research station. Every year or so, the station would be taken over by a new faction, which would brutally slaughter the previous inhabitants. Deacon lived a life in the shadows, locating people he could trust to not scream in horror at the Human aboard the ship, and making friends with them. Each time the ship was taken over, Deacon rebuilt his friendship-networks.

One day, one of the Black Ships of the Adepus Astra Telepathica searched the research station for Psykers. Unbeknownst to him, Deacon was a Psyker, and he was detected and taken away to training on Holy Terra. He didn't submit to authority as well as the other Psykers in his camp, and was thrown into the Pits of Terror, a series of psychological torture chambers meant to break the will of those within them. It was here that the AAT discovered Deacon's tremendous resistance to fear. He seemed to be  totally unaffected by the Pits, and remained as snarky as he was when he went into them. Despite this, the AAT decided that he needed to be executed for his defiance. He was saved from the electric chair by an Inquisitor that needed Deacon's talents for a particularly dangerous mission...

Backstory: Born on Hydra Cordatus, a Forge World where the Adeptus Mechanicus housed gene-seed, Irlven showed an early interest in biology. He joined the Adeptus Mechanicus, since the only two paths of mobility on Hydra Cordatus were either the tech-priesthood, or the Imperial Guard, and Irlven was not built for battle. He excelled in his medical training, and was shipped offworld to serve in the tech-priest support staff of an Imperial Guard regiment. After a few years of getting shot at and patching up Guardsmen, Irlven was picked up by the Inquisitor.

Spoiler: Kalta, Guardsman (click to show/hide)

NAME: Kalta
GENDER: Female
Appearance: This. Although with a lasgun rather than a sword and laspistol.

Background:
Kalta’s background is relatively unimportant. She was born on a Forge World, Metrone, and worked the factories her whole life up until she was age 23. The Forge World became unviable when an Ork filled Space Hulk crashed into the planet. While the higher ranking members of society, the tech priests and such, were transferred to another Forge World, the factory working caste were all drafted into the Guard. Kalta was part of the 34th Metrone Infantry Regiment. This specific regiment was chosen by one radical-leaning Inquisitor for personal use. Kalta was “lucky” enough to be made an Acolyte by the inquisitor, when she was the sole survivor of her squad after an operation.
She pays respect to both the Omnissiah, as one would expect of one from a Forge World, and the Emperor, so as not to be shot by an overzealous priest.

His stablight is usually kept behind his ear, pointing forward for the case he needs some lighting while keeping his hands free. He wears a sandy brown cloak with a white trim over simple scholarly clothes.

BACKSTORY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protheus was born the child of a minor noble's servants, an origin which didn't spell much of a future for him. His good memory and natural intelligence showing through obvious interest in scholarly knowledge did manage to catch the attention of the noble, who was content to provide higher learning in exchange for having a very competent servant in-training to show off status. After spending dedicated studies to become an adept worthy of the trust put in him, Protheus served for less than a year under the household before he was sent off as part of a business exchange, to work under a different master. His new employer was more powerful and also more in touch with politics; after a few scant months working the archives, he was sent off to spy on the Mechanicus' exploration of a new world rumored to hide new wonders and secrets.

The adept returned from the caves of Dark Echo a changed man, far more capable of seeking the information he wanted and a good catch for the Ordos' recruitment team that investigated those who returned from the forsaken place.

*Su'dobaal Sabbath, Inquisitor and Prince of Hush.

++Current Status++:
*Planetside on Hush, in combat with barbarians.

[Cheesecake]

Reserved for the turn update.

Acolytes:

The acolytes begin their descent onto the Feudal World, Hush. The shuttle is buffeted with tempestuous winds, the pilots hard-pressed to stay on course. Unnaturally, the gales are silent, unnervingly so. Sound is weak on Hush, hence its name. The shuttle trudges on in silence.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity of rocking, the acolytes get their feet wet with mud and snow. The dark of night blankets all. Far in the distance, twinkling lights call enticingly: the local caravan. Inquisitor Sabbath had contracted them to house the acolytes' party, in return for the acolytes performing the tasks asked of them when they were not given direct orders from the Inquisitor.

The tempest continues to wrack the acolytes, their furs and insulating blankets doing little to stave off the cold. Instead of the howling rage common to other storms, the gales of Hush sing in deathly whisper. The forest watches the acolytes, the trees tacit sentinels, the wildlife ogling with misshapen orbs. In the distance, titanic mountains maintain vigil over the caravan-cities of Hush, and far-off ruins speak of kingdoms long dead.

But towering over all, its mere size mocking the laws of reality, is a Space Hulk. One that crashed on Hush a hundred years ago, summoned by the witch-king Shoa Sabbath. It's name is whispered by the wind: Original Sin.

The distant lights of the caravan grow less distant. The acolytes should not dwell here too long, for darker things have dwelt here for far longer....

[ATHATH]

Why isn't my backstory in the character section?

"Why did the shuttle drop us all the way over here instead of by the caravan?"

Walk to the caravan, staring back at the wildlife in an attempt to make them respect me.

@the Blank: "So, what makes you special enough to be worth putting in a squad with me? I'm not trying to sound egotistical; it's just that the Imperium doesn't normally put a Blank in the same group as a Psyker. After all, the main power of an Untouchable is their ability to negate the powers of Psykers."

[My Name is Immaterial]

Irlven's optical mechadendrite peers into the night, focusing on the distant camp. His robes are pulled tight against the wind, bulging over his armor. He unslings his autogun, holding it loosely in his arms.
"It was the will of the Inquisitor. What are we to question their will?"

[ATHATH]

Irlven's optical mechadendrite peers into the night, focusing on the distant camp. His robes are pulled tight against the wind, bulging over his armor. He unslings his autogun, holding it loosely in his arms.
"It was the will of the Inquisitor. What are we to question their will?"

"I didn't mean to defy his orders- I just figured that he must have had some good reason to have us land away from the caravan, and that it might be important to know that reason. He doesn't have to tell us if he doesn't want to- I was just curious."

[Cheesecake]

One could rationalize that the Inquisitions adepts did not want to risk landing too closely to a civilian settlement; the tempests called for a large margin of error, and the adepts agreed to land far enough to exclude the caravan-village from a likely crash.

That being said, there might have been a darker purpose to landing quite a ways away from the caravan-village. Perhaps as a test?

[GiglameshDespair]

@the Blank: "So, what makes you special enough to be worth putting in a squad with me? I'm not trying to sound egotistical; it's just that the Imperium doesn't normally put a Blank in the same group as a Psyker. After all, the main power of an Untouchable is their ability to negate the powers of Psykers."

Chalchuitlicu had lit an Lho-stick, and smoke trickled darkly upwards as she turned to look at the psyker. She shrugged, her armour clanking softly.
"Perhaps, then, if you are a witch, the master has put me me here in case you need to die."
Her tone wasn't threatening - merely a uninterested monotone.

"I didn't mean to defy his orders- I just figured that he must have had some good reason to have us land away from the caravan, and that it might be important to know that reason. He doesn't have to tell us if he doesn't want to- I was just curious."

Irlven shrugs. "I queried not your intent, but your path. We do not have that dataset, so further communication between ourselves will not resolve it. The answer we are looking for is out there," he says, pointing into the woods.

The single Guardswoman in the party stayed out of the argument of the Blank and the Psyker. While the Blank was unsettling, to say the least, Kalta knew who to stay behind when the Psyker exploded into daemons or whatever they do. "We're supposed to head for the caravan, right? Let's just get on with it."

Once the rest of the party is coming with, start heading to the caravan.

Protheus wasn't interested in an argument  so soon between his teammates. "To the caravan." He was, however, rather interested in the fact he had felt negatively towards the armored woman right as they met, like the opposite version of love at first sight; all it took was someone else from the group to confirm his suspicions there was something "special" about her. A mutation of sorts, probably.

To the caravan.

Chalchuitlicu merely shrugged again and followed, the fragrant aroma of her cigarette following her as she walked.

[ATHATH]

"Hey, I'm not a witch. Witches intentionally summon daemons. I only summon them accidentally."

"You know that those things" *gestures at the cigarette or whatever it is* "are bad for your health, right?"

[GiglameshDespair]

"I don't care." Chalchuitlicu said flatly.
 
It was not clear which particular statement she was answering.
Quite possibly both.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Irlven ignores the talk of witches and blanks, focusing on the road ahead.
To the caravan!

[ATHATH]

"I don't care." Chalchuitlicu said flatly.
 
It was not clear which particular statement she was answering.
Quite possibly both.

"But some of the other Psykers that you'll meet will."
