History Characters / TheRoboutianHeresyImperiumOfMan

* OddFriendship: Despite they're... ''tense'' relationship with the Ecclesiarchy and the Adepta Sororitas, they're actually on pretty good terms with the Ordo Hereticus; the Ordo was formed in the aftermath of Goge Vandire's Reign of Blood with the intent of policing the Ecclesiarchy so that another Vandire doesn't rise, which is something the Word Bearers can get behind very strongly.

* GodzillaThreshold: The constant stream of abominations created in the Haydesian Kingdoms have forced the Collective to innovate and research just to prepare effective counters to whatever lurks in the Martian depths. The best example of this are the Itzamna Proxies and the Heliarchs: The former are nanotechnology bound by what are functionally AI without true sapience, and the later are regretful hereteks bound to the sun's essence to wield a fraction of its power.

!!!III -- Emperor's Children

** Despite the fact as Warmaster he was supposed to stay at the back and command the war effort, seeing the horrors and depravities being inflicted by the Blood Angels legion upon the populace of Terra as the Siege dragged on proved too much for him to ignore, and in a rage he left the command post and go up to the ramparts personally to slay traitors personally, calling for Sanguinius to come and face him.
** When Sanginius did answer him and Horus had him on the ropes in their subsequent duel at (the future) Lupercal Gate, seeing Sanginius' look of horror and despair as he raised his Worldbreaker for the CoupDeGrace stayed his hand for a fraction of a second as he remembered his brother for who he was. This proved to be a fatal mistake as Sanginius completely gave in to despair and Slaanesh in that moment, pouncing on and killing Horus by biting his neck and drinking his blood, transforming into a Daemon Primarch in the process.

* ISeeDeadPeople: The first signal an Astartes of the sixteenth legion receives of his transition into a full-fledged Herald is the ability to see the ghosts of the wrongfully slain.

* TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: While Mortarion hates Magnus for his use of the Warp and sorceries, the former was actually suprised and commends Magnus for being silent on the whole duration of the Nikea Council and let the other pro-psyker camp defend the usage of the Librarians. While it isn't enough for them to see each other eye to eye, its more than enough to be at least cordial to each other, which greatly helped on the Heresy itself.

* NiceGuy: Angron had a much brighter past as a free man, leading him to becoming a noble, genial figure who pretty much everyone who saw the value of compassion got along with. His Legion follows his example.
