[HonkyPunch]

Sanctioned Psyker

That's exactly what I asked about earlier, but you said was too powerful.

ಠ_ಠ

Well, the one you showed was from the 40k tabletop game and I guess generally the rule is that if it's in the tabletop game, it's too powerful as a starting character. The beginning rank of the Psyker in the book is 'Sanctionite'

[Cthulhu]

Here's a writable PDF of my character sheet, assuming I stick with that guy.

[Sneevil]

uhm poon he is meaning the lowest rank he just wants to play as good and "checked" psyker.

Special Qualities: None

Description: A scrawny wisp of a man, with a mop of long, greasy black hair upon his head, with a streak of white down the front. His face is gaunt and pockmarked. His light gray eyes seem to look past you.

Background: Growing up around death left a permanent impact on Zolus, and he soon learned that death was the only release from the constant struggle that is life. His parents worked themselves to death in the factories while he was just a child, and he was then passed around, death seeming to come in his wake, and take those who looked after him. At the age of 15, all of his relatives were dead, leaving him alone. Through this, he developed a sort of screwed up logic. Death, at least the way he sees it, is the only escape from the dark world that humanity lives in, and therefore, before he would be allowed to die, it was his duty to set others free. With this in mind, he honed his skills, killing the weak and dying, moving his way up. He was eventually recruited into a death cult, where he met the inquisitor that put him in the place he is today.

Alright, so that's the one I created (I used a character generator to get it all straight, and judging by the format, so did Cthulhu.) So far i'm not sure I actually spent my XP right. Etc. i've never played/made a character or done anything 40k related so, uhh..forgive the bad that may be present.

[HonkyPunch]

uhm poon he is meaning the lowest rank he just wants to play as good and "checked" psyker.

Right, I get it now.

[Burnt Pies]

Looks pretty good.

I'm putting all the character sheets posted here into a document on google docs, so I should have a semi-permanent record of your characters.

[Sneevil]

facepalm* i suck at cutting in background i just noticed i'm halfway through my page and i'm not even close to the end.

[HonkyPunch]

Sounds good Burnt. I need to read up on the basic rules a little bit so I'm not completely lost, as I am now. I'm FAR too used to the d20 system. Also, if this all goes well, I propose we play CthulhuD20 when we decide we are done with Dark Heresy, whenever that may be.

[Cthulhu]

Naw man, BRP Cthulhu.

[HonkyPunch]

Naw man, BRP Cthulhu.

either or, im just more familiar with d20. I know that in BRP the characters are pretty weak, which works well with the setting. D20 Cthulhu leans more towards the Pulp side, especially with the AC bonus for investigators type things, etc.

[Cthulhu]

I haven't read the Cthulhu d20 system, but d20 seems to lean toward heroics, which runs contrary to 'Foofoo.

[abculatter_2]

Will we be following the game's character creation rules strictly, or are we allowed some leeway?

[NewsMuffin]

Is there still room for a person to join? I would like to.
GMT - 4 I believe. Eastern Standard Time.
I have school, but I'm free on the weekends and after ~2:45 GMT - 4.

Special Qualities: None

Background:
An Imperial Guard fireteam cleared a burned out hospital on a little planet named Actus Sempoy. During the sweep, a trooper tripped over a glinting object, covered by dust and blood. He got to his feet, and would have ignored the object, if not for a whining noise issuing from it. The guardsman knelt by it, beat the lock off with the butt of his gun, and opened the box to see an infant, wrapped in unused bandages. He scooped the baby up, and fashioned a backpack out of the bandage, and resumed the sweep. The trooper cared for the child until he returned to the ship in orbit, where medicae's conducted genetic scans on the infant. It was reviled that his father was a PDF commander by the name of Vouce Imrek, who was listed as KIA on the battlefield three days before, while his mother's DNA scans did not register. The infant stayed aboard the troop ship until he was of age to be sent to the Schola Progenium. He went to the Progenium on Darcen Pacta, and trained to be an officer. He served exactly one year almost to the day in the Imperial Guard before a mishap with a particularly hard commissar. Instead of being executed on the spot, he was transferred to a penal legion because of his upbringing. It was from there that he claimed his current profession, after helping purge a hive city of taint.

(GM only)

Family:
Actus Sempoy was a nice little planet, and in some places still is. You see, a war ravaged the peaceful world, killing most of it's inhabitants, and scaring the rest into hiding. Chaos rolled over the citizens, not colonizing, but destroying. Eisen's father was a PDF commander, and his mother a volunteer nurse. They met when Vouce, Senta's father, was wounded resisting the Chaos incursion, and was treated in a field hospital by Artema, Senta's mother. The PDF resisted the Chaos attack for seventeen months, before an Imperial Troop Ship arrived. The Imperial Guard and PDF retook the planets capital, with a hard decisive victory, but it was not without loss. While attacking the Chaos Lord, Vouce was struck down by a mighty blow before other soldiers could arrive in his aide. However, he had primed a grenade with his dying breath, and as the Lord lifted him by the throat, the grenade detonated, destroying them both in purging flame. His mother was lost is a violent counter attack, flanking the main assault, and destroying most of the Imperial base camp, including the field hospital. Artema hid her eight month old child by cramming him away in a foot locker. Just as she finished locking it, a large axe wielding raider pinned her to the ground with his boot, and read up to swing. Choking, Artema pulled out the giant's side arm and unloaded the clip at him. Three shots went wide, while the other four hit true. The raided looked surprised at the new holes he had discovered, then slumped back, his axe falling behind him. Another raider clubbed her from behind, and left her bleeding on the floor. When they retreated, the raider returned, and carried the wounded woman off, never to be seen again.

Used this generator to make him, with some editing along the way. As well as writing his backstory myself. I also haven't assigned XP, but I'm not sure if you do that in the sheet before playing or not.
I have a pdf copy of the rule book.
Advances added.
Divination and Advancement effects added.
New equipment and advancement added.
