Necris

#31
FULL NAME: Narl Ravion

ALIASES: While unofficially Alliases are not used he is code named Reiver

RANK / AFFILIATION: Marshal / Adeptus Arbites

Physical Stats:
Place of Birth: Rypidor IV
Gender: Male
Height: 7"0'
Physical Appearance: Dark Olive Skinned, Grey eyes, square set jaw, cropped black hair and neat trimmed goatee beard, thin lips. Right handed.  

Narl is a walking power house of a man a towering figure with broad shoulders and heavily muscular body he bears the stern features of a man dedicated to the life he has chosen. Wear standard issue arbiter combat armour without any significant markings to signify him being a senior officer against his line troops save for a long issue storm coat.

During his long years of service Narl has received numerous injuries, his lower left leg is a bionic replacement shaped to mirror his natural leg, his right arm is a total bionic and features increased strength, he wears his regular armour over the arm and usually keeps it covered with combat gauntlets not out of shame or discomfort but out of a desire to maintain uniform, an advanced bionic eye lens has been fitted into his right eye socket with little in the way of external bionics it is discrete, the lens itself is a smooth silver surface  and features an infrascope and low light scope and target locator, implanted into his skull is a vox uplink allowing him to communicate with team mates without speaking.

PERSONALITY/BELIEFS: Is a staunch believer in the Imperial Faith and an supporter of the church and the authority of the Emperor, he is a resolute man determined and driven, yet he is not a fool he does not rush into situations blindly he is a tactical man a thinker and cautious when needed. Fiercely loyal to his subordinates and he refused to leave anyone behind in situations leading from the front he is the first and the last out of any situation. He is also willing to listen to the thoughts of those below him analysing each opinion and selecting the best approach.
 
QUIRKS/NOTES: Often mistaken for a brutish fool, but a cunning mind lies behind the stern mask of Narl  

ABILITIES / STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES: Narl is a melee specialist, a brawler and fighter he is easily able to handle himself armed or otherwise, he's also well aware of the fact that "might does not make right" in the combat situations and has learned many styles of combat the utilise speed and agility over brute strength to compliment his natural prowess.  

Surprisingly agile for someone of his size he moves like a dancer when fighting yet when walking his strides are powerful and full of purpose, he is not often caught off his guard and if capable of fending off attackers from several directions.

While a drilled line marksman Narl true skills lie in closed quarter fire fights and he still prefers to use the issued shotguns of the Arbiters but has also found he has a skill with hand weapons as his strength allows him to ignore all but the most powerful of recoils from weapons giving his a high level of accuracy against targets.  

Narl prefers the subtle methods investigation and discrete action over the heavy handed and brutal public displays of Arbiter authority, this is often hindered by his size and he commonly defers these approaches to his subordinates, he carefully picks his force members to compliment his preferred methods.

In before CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT meme

Seems okay, mate, although I do wonder how he gets between worlds -- I'm guessing he could hitch a lift with one of the Inquisitors?

A brief outline of your squad's gear might be nice, even if it's as simple as "shotgun/shock maul/suppression shield" or similar under each entry. Sixteen characters in total is also a lot, but I'm not going to start complaining provided we can take a few casualties for realism. :P

I've added a short description of Semplice's ship and have been thinking about techno-babbling up a new weapon.

The Atinian gluon disruptor.
The weapon disrupts the gluons responsible by the strong interaction. Causing strong interaction to be disrupted leads to the collapse of atomic nuclei and hadrons in its target.

I know that this is quite unfeasible but with some proper Xenos Technoplogy(TM) it might even work.

Necris

Shame about the tank...

I just wanted something bigger than a Rhino on account of the team being 16 strong and not being able to fit into one and the next size option was either a super heavy troop transporter or a land raider :-D

to be fair the Crassus only has 4 heavy bolters as weapons and thick armour I was thinking of something a bit like the assault tank from Aliens and the Crassus seemed to fit, ah well maybe next time, he'll just have the leave it behind and take a smaller tank

Looking at the cyclops I'm afraid that it would bea bit on the small side to serve as a fully operational base, especially when it also carries two bikes. It can carry 35 men, which will be pretty cramped, but with the extra supplies your team will need and the extra space taken to allow then to sleep and the like it will probably be too stuffed. Perhaps he could use a small convoy of rhinos?

I'm fairly sure he wasn't slating it.

He was just referring to the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT meme, which is not unlike the Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM meme. Or the Othar Trygvassen, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER meme.

Or for the hard of hearing, the BRIAN BLESSED meme.

Or on the Conclave, the traditional big yellow welcome.

No [EXCOMMUNICATE], Inquisitor. Also, a bit too full of explosives. :P

Oops, I think I might have meant the Crassus, stupid, me, although, a cyclops could be a nice secret base for a band of evil miniature people. Most people lack the crazyness to try to infiltrate it, and it already has a built-in self destruct mechanism, what more could you want? (except for a volcano base on a moon of course).

Inquisitor Sargoth

Another potential RP? Marvellous. I feel rather cynical about them all making it, though.

Like the opening. Dramatic. A bit Eisenhorn with the vid-cam thing, but that's not a bad thing.

'fraid I need a few more details/hooks before I can make a character for this, especially as the power level is slightly higher than normal (not that this is a bad thing). Aware you're planning tailored intro-hooks (great idea, did I do that once?) but need a bit more else I'll just come up with Generic Inquisitor Smith, which isn't my style. I could maybe get Sargoth out of storage, but I prefer to create new characters and frankly he's ready to be mothballed.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean...

QuoteLike the opening. Dramatic. A bit Eisenhorn with the vid-cam thing, but that's not a bad thing.
I wasn't going for Eisenhorn in the slightest. If you remember an old White Dwarf from when the Tau first got introduced (back when Fat Bloke was fat and WD was actually worth reading), you might recall a bit of fluff about a guy who used to be Imperial Guard and then converted to the Tau'va; I based the vid-capture thing around how that was presented.

No worries, I'll try and get another demi-prologue up as soon as I've done some more job applications. I had a few ideas on the bus.
I'd rather not make too many details public, if I'm honest, but since you've already run an RP that had a previous iteration of Rowena in it, you know more than most of us anyway so feel free to PM me requests for anything you need to know, and I'll throw you more bones than a dig site.

Indeed. I'm absolutely fine with you throwing a CAAT into the mix. I was just making a funny comment on how it had inflated into a meme.

Bizarrely, this puts me in mind of Necron gauss flayers, though assuming the Atinians are Sufficiently Advanced Aliens, it's quite manageable.

I'm assuming the Unbroken is some kind of frigate?


EDIT: Apologies to Marco for making the assumption that Inquisitors Hallona and Haines know each other (to be fair, I stopped short of suggesting that it was through Andreas), but there's something new to whet your appetites. Apologies also to Sargy for stealing something he tormented me with about three years ago :P

We also know Haines' first name now, although the only reason I'd not revealed that one was because it wasn't anywhere in the IC thread yet -- it is now, so there we go.

Had a quick go. Not the same cipher, is it? All I got was gibberish. Damnit. Will have another look post-gym.

Updated the OP in both IC and OOC threads, both to standardise the style and to update with relevant info.

Sargy -- I may have just fooled you with your own encryption method :P

MarcoSkoll

If you read straight down the right hand column, the word "Arse" can be found.

... is it something to do with the moon?

You had to make me go back and check

That wasn't intentional, honest.


We also have another update in which events that happened elsewhere, and about eighteen months prior (both in-universe and in real-time, oddly enough), are somehow relevant. Necris may remember the characters involved.
And as much as it probably ended up being Narmtastic, this is what inevitably happens when you're trying to write Ham-To-Ham Combat while being constantly distracted and suffering from a headache. :P
