remember. Long time fan of {{Warhammer 40000}}, you'll probably often find me contributing to the subject - or cleaning up other people's misconceived contributions. (Space Marines are seven feet tall, ''maybe'' seven and a half for a really tall one . Not nine, not ten - SEVEN!)

I know there's no such thing as notability, but I'm not quite so greedy as to take up a whole article for what is less than un-notable, so I'm tacking it on to my troper article.
Set in the {{Warhammer 40000}} Universe, this refers to a bunch of characters I've created to roleplay/write about. Not quite Fan Fic in that I'm just borrowing the universe, but if you really want to think about it that way.
It has 6 main characters:
* Inquisitor Marco Robert Skoll.
** The main protagonist - his job revolves around bringing lost/dangerous artefacts back into the Imperium's control. Proficient minor Telekinetic. Soul linked to Silva.
* Ex-Imperial Guardswoman Silva Birgen.
** Total {{Badass}}. Has a {{disability superpower}} - despite the loss of half her face, her left arm and right leg, they've been rebuilt from [[ArtificialLimbs bionics]], as per standard {{We Can Rebuild Him}}. The arm has a laser, flame thrower and a set of claws {{Marvel}} would probably get the lawyers on me for. Pretty cheerful for the most part, but definitely a {{Deadpan Snarker}} at times. [[BoatLights Heterochromic]] - actually, just completely subscribes to {{Fashionable Asymmetry}} because of her mismatched bionics.
*** Averts the tropes {{Beauty is never tarnished}} and {{Cybernetics Eat Your Soul}}
* Smuggler Arden "Icebreaker" Holf.
** Bit like a cross between Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds, but older, and spends more time around the booze - and rather loquacious when he's tipsy. Not an alcoholic, but a little too keen on it for his good. {{Lovable rogue}}
* Arbites Enforcer Gio Ciris
** Former hunter of people with psychic powers. Excels at non-lethal combat.
* Inquisitor Byssus, Marco's old mentor.
** So far only mentioned, I have plans for Byssus to make a speaking appearance later.
* Frost
** Female Bounty hunter. Very proficient. Few people know her name.
