RTJ and Character Creation

I am fairly lienient on RTJ's and characters.  I ask two things; be articulate and be willing to spend time on character creation to flesh out him/her.  Beyond that I'd ask for a willingness to post fairly frequently (once every day or so preferably).  Everything else is negotiable.

RTJ
Send me a message to RTJ along with a character idea.  If I like it or have a suggestion we'll go from there.  Or if you have no idea what you want to play send me a message and tell me, I'll try and help.

Character Creation
First off I allow characters to pick homeworld, background, career, etc.  With the exception of Noble, which you will have to run by me first.  Also I will limit the number of Psykers & Tech Priests if more than one person desires to play one.  My initial thought here is one of each, but that may change.  Stats can be rolled by you either at home or on the dice roller.  Be warned a character starting with all 40% stats will draw my immedaite suspicion.

I allow background packages and talents from any of the books in print (Inquisitors Handbook, Radicals Handbook, etc) as long as you check with me first.  Some like Untouchable, for example, will require a good reason beyond "I just want to."

Please include a little bit about your character beyond homeworld, background package and all the mandatory schtuff.  How did you get into this?  How does your character feel about it?  Do you hate it?  See it as an opportunity?  Fear it?  Love it?  What about your family?  What does your character care about?  Hate?  Love?  etc.

When creating your character, if any package or career path contains the word OR in it, for things like skills and talents, please treat that as AND instead. For example, if your starting package gives you Talented (Medicae) OR Nerves of Steel, you gain both.

I think DH games in general should have the spectre of corruption and treachery hanging over the group.  You do after all work for the Inquisition.  With that in mind I do allow and in fact will tempt your characters with power, wealth and anything else which may sway you.  "Simply do a small favor for my friend......"  Daemonic possession, Dark Pacts, and treachery by players are all in play.  That being said such actions do have consequences should you be discovered.

"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
-Friedrich Nietzsche


Beyond that, we're all here to have a good time, so have fun with it.
