[OOC Thread] The Lesser of Two Heresies.
Silhar:
It's dark, you're wounded and haven't slept at all since your visit to the spaceship, plenty of hours ago. Meanwhile, you got shot, you fought off a giant spider, ran like hell and got a bit irradiated.
I don't believe that you would be happy to take a deep gaze at some Emperor-damned statue on your way to the bar instead of just walking in there and, well, having something to drink.
HexaDoken:
The followers of Ashenzari are ready to explore whatever, whenever and wherever. They are all aware, or are at least pretending to be all aware. No thing in their sight will be left unexplored.
Also, all this suddenly brings me to a question. Can a guardsman pave his way into Space Marines? Not that I'm going to pull that off in this campagin(you'd probably kill all the damn life out of me before I get a chance), but just hypotetically.
Klear:

Not a chance... even if it were possible for a lowly guardsman to be considered for this (it isn't), you'd have to be very young (13? 15?) to be able to accept the gene-seed (that is, all the implants and stuff which makes the Astartes what they are). Astartes are pretty much demoigods and view all the other "mortals" as such.
Silhar:
Most of Space Marines' Chapters simply clone their men. Few, like Space Wolves recruit them, mostly from feral worlds, but such fellows are trained since early childhood. Then they augment, indoctrinate and train them some more and lo! The marine comes out.
Klear:
Oh yeah, I forgot I'm currently reading the Horus Heresy series of books where such recruitment is the main (perhaps only?) source of new Astartes, but it takes place 10 000 years earlier, before the galaxy got all fucked up (or rather, it's about how the galaxy got all fucked up).
