Yeah, he's been finished for a few weeks, sitting on my table, unassembled, yet fully painted, so i'll be posting a couple of pictures up as soon as i get a decent camera. However, I want to get his profile sorted, i've made a couple of changes, he's still stuck with the totally cliche'd feudal swordsman idea, though i'm hoping i've made him a little more open. I'm going to bring something up a little later on about the rest of his party, there's one guy who is causing me no end of problems.

Inquisitor Tyr Wen Wokin of the Ordo Hereticus

Born on the planet of Miya IV, a Fuedal Planet with an emphasis on combat to earn ones right in the hierarchy of the planet. When born, each Miyan infant is placed in front of a variety of weapons, the one they clasp their tiny hands onto is the one they spend their life time developing, alongside their own bodies, in order to operate without them.

Tyr was born into the Wokin household, the son of the established Swordsman Wen, took after his father with abandon. However, around the time of adoloscense Tyr began to develop into something more. His strength would often increase sharply, without any apparent control, and was able to react to blows and attackers with almost preternaturally fast reactions. This resulted in Tyr having to spar with men sometimes twice his age. Eventually the Black Ships arrived and found Tyr to be a psyker, however the disciplined nature of the Miyan martial arts meant that he was able to control it to some effect, though not fully. After being taken on the Black Ships, he was found to have extensive biomantic powers, to the extent that he was able to lock onto any bio signatures nearby. Fortunately, due to Miyan training, he was found to be fit to go into Inqusitorial service.

He was taken under the wing of one Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Mihail Bennett, (who intended to use his ability to detect people as a way to track down heretical cultists) and his Lord, Marcus Skaro and began his "formal" tutoring of Imperial Culture, something that the Miyan's didn't really know about, their way of life meaning they had more pressing matters to worry about. He took to the learning with the same determination he devoted the his martial training, and began trying to combine his psychic powers with his Miyan based maritial arts, though his preference for his sword meant that his ability with firearms suffered, and has on more than one official occation shown to have some Thorian tendencies.His psychic powers have grown greatly since his induction into the Inquisition, his ability to detect the biological presence of people around him has advanced to being able to sense any disturbances in the area around his own body. He trained extensively in order to be able to combine this power and his own swordsmanship, in order to use the weapon as an extension of his own body. Furthermore, his ability to sense the biology of people means that he is able to read them, using their own body language to determine whether they're lying or not.

After the murder of Inquisitor Bennett, in what appear to be a mugging, yet was in fact much more sinister, and subsequent investigation was headed by Tyr, upon it's completion he was promoted to full Inquisitor by Skaro. Since his promotion he has begun some fruitful and ambitious work in the Ordo Hereticus, and is showing potential, whether he fulfills that potential however, is yet to be seen.

He truly flourished during the Bennett investigation, however the battle against the actual murderers meant he lost his precious Miyan sword, his birthweapon, due to a shot which he deflected back into the shooter, the same man who had killed Bennett. Since that day he has perfected the technique, relying on skill more than luck this time. He claimed the fallen revolver, the same one which had been pressed into Mihail Bennett's temple and had it's trigger pulled, and Skaro repaired his sword as a gift, with a few augmentations and improvements from the original.


WS  BS    S     T    I   WP  SG    NV     LD
78   51   68   64  74  79   64    71    73

Equipment: Carapace armour on chest, abdomen and groin, Force Sword, revolver with 12 rounds, bionics on head (1 point of armour on front), advanced bionic eye with build in inferno pistol, hallucinogen gas grenade.

Psychic Powers: Detection, Warp Strength, Hammerhand.

Skills: Furious Assault, Martial Arts*, Deflect Shot (only when the firer has been found prior to shooting, using Detection)

Martial Arts: Blademaster, except unarmed, allows Wokin to parry standard weapons whilst unarmed (not chain, shock, power, force, or daemon, etc).




I've jigged his stats around, and changed a couple of things in his background. I plan on re-writing the entire thing soon enough, but for the minute, it's looking like that.

The rest of the war-party will be looking like this, a bit of background, and the model i'll be using:

Artus Grimm: Adeptus Arbites investigator, helped with the Bennett investigation and alienated enough people to mean he would have very little, to no career in the Arbites. He is the son of a subsector Heiress, and a Rogue Trader, his father died shortly before he was born, his mother killed herself not long after. His grandfather sponsored his position into the schola, aiming to create a political minded heir with connections throughout the Imperium. Grimm ignored him, took his fathers name, and became an Arbite. - Arbites Judge Model

Ridian Jago: Gundog who's background has been finished and will be put up shortly. - a Slick Devlan conversion

Arlena Hux: Disgraced Local Enforcer of the Imperial Law (Sheriff, Warden, any suggestions for planetary law enforcement?), in a relationship with Jago, was a gundog when Wokin found her. - The Barbaretta conversion Model

Amagdylae Dervish: An Inquisitor who order an exterminatus on a planet, which resulted in his team being killed, and he having a breakdown because of the guilt. He disappeared for 2 decades, only to be found by Wokin and given the choice, help Wokin and become the Inquisitor he was once, or be executed as a traitor to the Imperium for a dereliction of Inquisitorial duties (or something). - Not sure just yet.

Gaius Quintus: Ritual Murder Specialist. Used by Imperial and Inquisitorial services to determine whether or not something is a murder, or a Ritual Murder, something conducted by Cultists. Used to decide if something is worht being passed up to the Inquisition, or if it was simply a murder.- Preacher Josef model

Looks pretty good to me. I'm obviously no expert, but you certainly tried hard with the backgrounds. Looking forward to veiwing the full stats.

Which one?  You seem to have a fair idea about them all...

Mostly Gaius Quintus, and his R.M.S. organisation. The natural progression of that unit would then be specialising in recognising whether the Ritual Murder was done for posession purposes, or in the name of a particular God. Rather than just saying:

"yup, this is a ritual murder alright",

They've to go into more detail:

"This is a ritual murder performed in the name of the Blood God, done for the purposes of summoning a daemon into this reality, it failed because...". Or "We can see this is a ritual murder due to the depth of wound inflicted on the victim. The blade strokes are non-lethal, and done without frenzy, saying that the murderer was in a sane state of mind, and intended to keep the victim alive for as long as possible. The amount of wounds would indicate that this is a Slaaneshi cultist, whilst the location of the wounds would indicate that this is not a summoning ritual, simply a sacrifice to their god".


They seem to be borderline radical, and most hard-line puritans would be against the existence of such an organisation, if not just exterminating them all. I'm trying to find a fluffy way of justifying not only thier existence, but also their sanity.

Kaled

I'd make him an agent of the Inquisition - one stationed at an Inquisitorial fortress and on-call to the Arbites when they feel out of their depth, or to Inquisitors when they require his specialist knowledge.  He'd have access to the Inquisitorial libraries and would report to the head of the conclave who would then 'volunteer' an Inquisitor to investigate if he thought it necessary.  Or, have him a servant of a radical cell - a savant with access to all manner of forbidden knowledge.  Or he could be an Arbites agent, maybe one with some medical knowledge, who worked for the Inquisition in the past before returning to his precinct as some sort of specialist.

As for his sanity - maybe selective mind-wiping, rigorous purity checks, self-flagellation to ensure purity.  Maybe a suicide implant that activates if he falls under malign warp influence?  Some sort of memory-block - he can only access certain knowledge in the course of his work and not at any other time.

Having him covered in Pentagrammic and Hexagrammic tattoos may also help, giving him a failsafe implant which takes him out of action if he comes under the influence of psykers or daemons (any Telepathy skill, i don't think the device itself would differentiate between Puppet Master and Telepathy). I was planning on using the Preacher Josef model, and now i'm thinking he can be a bit of a doddery old man, numerous selective mind-wipes would start to take their toll on him, which would affect him outside of the investigation side. He knows everything there is to know about Murders and the reason's for Serial Killers, but can barely hold a conversation about his home planet.

Modelwise, if someone mentioned putting Josef's arms on Malicant's body, i'll see if i can stick Malicant's Chainsword on Josef's body, then i'm thinking a laspistol, and everything else is investigative, auxspex, bio-scanner, psi-tracker, and then a decent WP and SG, and then relatively low stats for the rest of it.

Next character, Gun-Hound Ridian Jago.

WS BS  S   T   I    WP  SG  NV  LD
54  71 53 58 72   67   49  71  64

Jago is Left Handed

Equipment: Flak Armour on all locations except head, double barrelled sawn off shotgun with 10 shells, 2 revolvers with 1 reload each, stubber with reload, meltabomb.

Skills: Gunfighter, Deadeye Shot.

Born in the slums of Jural Primus, Ridian Jago was the son of a a low level thug, and the prostitute he had fallen in love with. Growing up in the whorehouses of Jural Primus was unpleasant to say the least, however, Jago's father was nothing if not devoted. He was introduced to the gangs at a young age, who often frequented the brothels, whilst not being put off by the children who called them home. The gangers would often amuse themselves by watching the children fight, betting on which would win.

Jago was always eager to charm the gangers, none more so than his father, and would often try to accompany them as they left. As he grew older, the gangers began to see him as one of their own, however, he never made any one affiliation, being seen as a dangerous youth in his own right. When he reached the age of 16, he turned down his hereditary place in his father's (now a Lieutenant in one of the larger organisations) gang and hired himself out to whomever could pay. This led to his father disowning his son, stating he had "taken after his whore of a mother".

Despite his father's anger at the snub, Jago managed to prove his worth, using the contacts he'd made from his youth to get jobs as a Gun-Hound, a hired gun for gangs who needed extra firepower, and could afford it. Over time, he became one of the highest sought after Gun-Hounds, his experience and tendency to target the known hang outs of those he was sent against meant that people would often pay him to simply leave them alone.

His overt tactics did, however, draw the attention of the local enforcers, who could never actually pin anything on him, despite suspecting him of the majority of Destruction of Imperial Property they had encountered in recent years. The Enforer put on the case was one Arlena Hux, who was disgraced after it was found they were in fact romantically involved. Hux disappeared with the help of Jago and his contacts, and was a wanted criminal. She kept in contact with her close friend, and Arbite Artus Grimm, who believed that she was disgraced due to her unwillingess to turn a blind eye to some of the other crimes, such as the illegal sale of Imperial Armaments which was rife on Jural. Grimm was responsible for introducing both to Inquisitor Tyr Wen Wokin during his investigation of the Bennett Murder, and have been in his employ since, Hux believing since is once again benefiting the Imperium, Jago simply wishing to keep her happy, and making a tidy profit.
