Inquisitor Tyr Wen Wokin

[JoelMcKickass]

Hehe, i just found about 4 sides of A4 on background, ranging from the death of Bennett to the origins of Wokin's name, to the fact he has 2 (Reynard Grimnir), one important aspect fits in with the Detection, when Bennett was killed Wokin was the first one to find out.

With Brimstone's addition, and Cade pointing out what was staring me in the fact (persistant powers),  i'll have it so he can use Warp Strength and Martial Arts, but would have to use Warp Strength before Martial Arts.

As for the Warband, i've got a couple of additions, a pistol slinging mercenary who will have an abundance of pistols but very little ammunition (if anyone has ever seen The Boondock Saints, that scene where Il Duche is shooting at the brothers, he has 8 guns but no reloads), a Death Cult Assassin, and a Deputy Enforcer recruited by Grimm. I know i'd never use them all, but they'd all have different skills and abilities, so much like Eisenhorn and Ravenor, they'd have large warbands, but only use them when the need arises.

The badguys warband however, it's just looking like daemons right now...

FINALLY, i've been working on the Adeptus Arbite guy, but whilst doing his background i was painting the Gun-Hound, so i figured i'd do his background and stats first. His background is pretty short however.

Jago is Left Handed

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 Arbites, 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 Arbite put on the case was one Elle Huxley, who was disgraced after it was found they were in fact romantically involved. Huxley disappeared with the help of Jago and his contacts, and was a wanted criminal. She kept in contact with her close friend 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, Huxley believing since is once again benefiting the Imperium, Jago simply wishing to keep her happy, and making a tidy profit.

Definately gritty background there! I appreciate the background is short - but Id be interested to hear about how his partnership with Elle developed.

Only one possible quibble, I take it he is not nearing retirement or sneakily took a couple of university correspondance courses - his Sg seems a little high to me for someone who sounds as though he didn't necessarily spend much time at primary school.

Its a personal view, but I like the rule book statement that very few Imperial citizens are educated. I take that to mean as not beyond basic secondary/high school level (literate, numerate, ''religeous'' education/stories about the Emperor, art, gym and woodworking classes only!).

A high Sg to me - anything over 50 - represents those who have dedicated some time to actual intellectual and/or academic development - ie the Ad Mech priesthood, those in the upper Administratum, extensive additional study under an Inquisitor etc etc. These high skills then come at the cost of lower ability elsewhere in the stat line. That high Sg means that as well as being exposed to more arcane knowledge, there is a little more (I stress little) mental disipline - ie  basically smart types might think things through a bit more.

A characters ability to pick locks, pilot a lander, run a business - do all the things that they would ''know'' about through life experience, I expect the GM to allow or modify the roll in some way.

I can see what you mean about the Sagacity, i'll drop it by around 16 points, he is just there for the muscle.

The relationship with Elle will be explained when i do her back story, it's something that's affected her more so than him, the downside is that i probably wont get onto her's for a while, i've got the model of Wokin to do, and then Grimm's model and background (which is nearly done), before i even think about ordering her.
