Garden of The Dark DH PBF - Dramatis Personae n' OOC Thread
Silhar:
"This place's cursed, m'boy, the forest, the mine, the whole Throne-damned world. Not that it's wet, hot and damned mosquitos just don't let ya live,
n'even damned greenskins kickin' our butts every monday. Since I've been there, for twenty years of diggin' up marble for Malfian nobs on this forsaken
pile of junk, this damned site, the backwater hole long-forgotten by Our Lord, I saw a hundred or else... accidents. Bizarre things, yeah. Happenings with tools
left loose... You'd left rake tooths up an' sure as hell somebody'd kill himself on 'em. Stop laughin', idiot, come over an' see for yaself ! Gas exploding, but
you'd promise that counter-spirit was all mute. Corridors collapsing where everything seemed alright... No friggin' wonder that peoples are feelin' anxious an'
tensed up. There was even a riot or few, some guys died... Good professionals, what a pity. And since we uncovered these bizzaro ruins - like, say, a fine
building of steel... No, not a building, listen to me ! Tis ain't lookin' quite like an Imperial specialist's handiwork, rather like some twisted work of art... So that
damned monument which seems to be half-steel, half-plant, like jungle suddenly started shaping steel... An' bodies, scorched, their heds crush'd or exploded...
No quite humans, no, wierd suits an' pointy ears they had. But hush, shut up, you've heard nothin' ! I heard 'Quisitors sent their men here already, people
sayin' that's just an Inter-ro-whatnot, but still... Ya don't wanna be silenced, roight ? Me neither."
Okay, it took long, but here it is : the character creation topic for PBF i shall be gamemastering.
1)You have my permission on usage of any official rulebook (I encourage you to use Inquisitor's Handbook, which I find crafted of pure awesome). But if you plan to do so, let me know so I could take a look at them and know of your capabilities.
2)No more xenos for now - one Ork and one Eldar are just enough. (Rules for Orks provided by Gargulec. Huge thanks !)
3)On characteristics - you may either roll according to rulebooks or spend up to 100 points (naturally, adding Home World modifiers). Remember that you MUST spend at least two points on each, to a maximum of twenty points per characteristics. If you somehow make it over 50 points in the beginning - yeah, help yourself, congratulations. I'm not going to ban you since you are going to die anyway.
4)Divinations - feel free to roll, unless you want me to assign you one, according to your vision of your character.
5)I'm going to supply you with additional two hundred Thrones (or Scales, or Lords, or Slugs, or whatsover) for buying a starting equipment. Yes, Xenos too.
6)Think up a conception of your character - history's a must-have. Colorful characters will be rewarded. For Xenos characters it would help greatly if you told me about how did you join the Inquisition, but it is not really necessary.
7)This does not really accord to character creation, but please, be understanding - it's my first PBF and I wasn't GMing for a long, long time. Report to me any mistakes so that I could learn on my own errors and, if possible, correct them right away.
8)Xeno characters - in the beginning don't post yet. Each of you shall get an introduction.
9)The rest goes as normal.
We still have a few (around two or three) player slots unoccupied, so feel free to join if you want.

Appearance
Spoiler (click to show/hide)Lithe and exotic, as all Eldars are, Sulyen appears to lack the arrogance and pride of her brethren. She keeps her head low, never objects, never protests. One could say, that her spirit is broken, and would not be mistaken. She is deeply afraid of pain, and will do what ordered should she be threatened with it.
She is covered in scars, both old and new. Her hair has unusual colour of ash, and that is practically all you could say bout her. However, despite her lack of proper spirit, she is an expert survivalist, having spent most of her life under hostile sky.

Story:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)My name is Ramirez Zenth, born in the Gunmetal City, Scintella. My parents are both Adeptus Arbites, they raised me to become an Arbitrator like them.
They used to tell me: 'Remember son, what only matters is the welfare of the Imperium'.
But growing up in a hive where violence is nothing special and being unarmed is a suicide, is not easy nor pleasant.
Fortunately Metalicans respect those who gained some authority using skills, lore and intelligence, or weapon mastery.
As soon as I grew up I followed the path of my parents and turned into a guardian of the Imperium's law.
Normally the job isn't easy. In Gunmetal City it's incredibly exhausting and hazardous,
but on the other hand enforcing the law provides a special kind of satisfaction.
Whenever I have to make a decision I try to choose option that is the best for the Imperium,
although sometimes is was hard to decide who of my men were to live, and who to die.
I like being an Arbitrator, for I'm independent in my judgement and the way I complete my mission.
There are only two task I can remember clearly, too clearly.
On first one I was ordered to kill my own brother. Did I mention I had a brother? Possibly not, Zuriel was a rotten apple of our family.
I had never noticed the moment he seriously went off the rails... just one day I was told that he has robbed and killed a noble.
I felt uneasy with that, but "What only matters is the welfare of the Imperium".
I tracked him down after five days. With his so called 'friends' was hiding in a ruined factory building.
They were surprised, my men overpowered them within one minute. They were executed in public, except my brother.
He begged me in tears to spare his life. His softness disappointed me, but I showed him mercy and killed him quickly, painlessly. After all he was my brother.
As a memento I took his engraved knife, it reminds me that even a relative can betray you.
The second mission that sank into my memory was given to me and my friend Arbitrator Ishmael.
We were to eradicate a dangerous Chaos cult that had been operating for several months within local nobility.
Our secondary objective was to act without detection. You can imagine how tricky it was.
Fortunately Ishmael was of blue blood himself, therefore his familiarity with etiquette was more than helpful.
My friend taught me not to be hasty, but always to search for the source of the disease,
and then strike without hesitation. Likewise way we discovered the main quarter of the cult.
During the assault Ishmael was shot in his chest. They were defeated and executed
for the glory of Immortal God-Emperor, but we took severe loses, since they were heavily
armed and fortified. Despite the medic help Ishmael didn't made it.
Just before he passed away, gave me his old nameplate and said "Remember my friend!".
I got my latest assignment three days ago. I was send under command of an Inquisitor.
I have never met one before. It is said they tend to use all needs necessary to purge the unclean.
We shall see if this particular individual truly does his best for the Imperium.
If not, well... I'm still a Judge. Time alone will tell who is a faithful servant of God-Emperor.
Appearance:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)At first glance Ramirez is a typical Arbitrator: armed and ready to hunt down enemies of the Imperium.
At the age of 33 he is 175cm tall and weighs 80 kilos. He has short black hair with a few grey stains.
In his pallid, clean-shaved face you can see green eyes eager to sight heresy. His right hand is lacking the ring finger.
Usually Ramirez is dressed in his dark-coloured Arbitrator uniform, but he never goes to battle withouth dark-green mesh vest and
ashen flak jacket which covers himself excluding his head, which is laid bare.
In a sheath attached to his belt there is an engraved knife which seems to be quite important for Ramirez, since he never puts it away.
He also wears an old nameplate as a charm, the name is "Ishmael Aranir".
