Hmmm.... none so fa- Wait, Flandre is allowed to wander off outside?! O_O

J/k

In any case, I uhh don't think I'll be joining it now since while I do know both of those series, I'm still not sure if I'm familiar enough with them in order to RP effectively(Curse my LACK OF GAMING EXPERIENCES!!! D:<).

I may join later in the future after I have full confidence over my knowledge in both series. 'Till then, I'll just stalk this thread and maybe read the entirety of the first RP(after skipping 10 pages) to understand the settings better tongue

But just in case if I do decide to join, though....
... I apologize in advance if my question seems stupid, but what are the possibilities of a youkai becoming a tech priest? (either through curiousity, they find it intriguing, etc. etc.)

That is a question that would likely create much controversy within the Adeptus Mechanicus. Whether or not they'd even allow it to happen is anybody's guess at this point, but suffice to say that if it occurred it would fuel the increasing tensions within Imperial organizations.

Oh, I'm L3wt by the by. Beyond my primary duty as lord high ragamuffin, I play the lead Inquisitor for our main cast herd.

Well, I'll be looking forward to seeing you join us nonetheless!

And I'm the other other Imperial guy, playing a somewhat cowardly Guardsman of noble blood. Feels good, man.

Hello again. As You Know, I was the creator of the original game. At present, I play an old Stormtrooper Sergeant, and am one of the present game's plotters.

Ask us anything you care to!

Hello everyone. And thanks!

No question so far, but yeah. As for when will I join, well, until I get my bearings on those two series. Like I said, I'm not confident enough with my current familiarity on those two as it is >_<

So don't expect any sign ups anytime soon *sweatdrop* Maybe after a month or so, but yeah.

Take your time, Just Some Guy; the game's definitely not going anywhere any time soon.

For lack of a better term, I seem to be the Chaos dude; apart from that, and my duties as one of the other main plotters, I play Zee the Living Saint.

Hey, you can also ask me questions if you need to, as I have general knowledge of both settings for the rp.

The only thing that you won't be seeing in the current rp guaranteed is the Tyranids. A bit because fighting them is an excercise in futility, but mostly because of how badly the tyranid arc went in the last rp.

I should know, I was the one playing them.

Yeah, um.. well...

Sorry guys. Looks like I have to drop myself from this RP >_< I have recently joined too many R Ps, soo... yeah.

I'll probably decide to join once I have more free time.. but that's probably going to take a looooong time.

Again, sorry for the disappointment caused...

This seems fun, is it alright if I join once I've caught up with the main story?(I only found this story recently) I was considering playing as either Mononobe no Futo or an eldar harlequin.

Yeah, if you can fit them into the setting. smile We switch between focusing on several groupings of characters, so you may not get a chance to play the characters you want right away. But you're welcome to join us when you're ready.

Would having the harlequin and Futo tailing Arcturus and his group work you guys? Was considering it as an option of getting them into the story.

Mononobe no Futo is an over 1400 year old (1550 in Aquila) Taoist hermit who has transcended the mortal coil and become reborn as a near-immortal being (shikaisen). She has the ability to manipulate Feng Shui, though canon gives little in the way of helping interpreting what it actually does.

I suppose it's possible she could tag along with Team Kill'em'all Arcturus (though, of course, that's up to L3wt). But it's not exactly an intergalactic tour bus. tongue What would be her reason for doing so?

EDIT: Or have I misunderstood and you mean "tailing" as in following them from afar? I suppose that's possible (though travelling through the Warp makes it difficult), but I think Arcturus and crew might notice.

Futo's feng shui is essentially a mish-mash of taoist and shinto magic I think.

Tailing is following from afar, but I was thinking more of Futo using the webway thanks to her harlequin friend. Eldar prefer not to use the warp due to how strongly they feel emotions, which has a tendency of attracting the wrong kind of attention in the warp. As I said, I haven't quite caught up yet, but the harlequins are really into fighting chaos aren't they?

Ah, I see. I'll leave it to our WH40Kers to answer to the Eldar side of things, but you should know that all the Eldar left during the first game (IIRC) and have not made an appearance yet in the sequel. Mind, that doesn't mean that all of them have to have left or that they can't have come back. But we can do some worldbuilding on that when you've caught up; what happened in the 150 year timeskip is a very malleable thing, after all.

That happens to be the one I'm reading, but it's alright, I'm about 80% through. Plus, I just finished my exams, I've got a ton of freetime now. I estimate I'll have caught up within 5 days.

Do note that trying to put an Eldar into group made up of various people from the Imperium of Man might end up going bad.

You know, 'Suffer not the Xeno to live!' and 'For the Emperor!!!' and all that. Just a warning.

Futo will get a much better reception though.

I'm not going to put them into the group, at least not unless the plot demands it. I'm going to have them shadow them from afar,(if that works out).

You're currently fighting orks, no?

Basically, my reasoning goes like this. Harlequins are the eldar most knowledgeable about the webway. The webway is supposedly an old one invention. The codex you guys got in the first story contained information on them and their tech right? Meaning that it wouldn't be too much of a stretch that the Harlequins, thanks to information from both the codex as well as their black library craftworld, could now use portable webway portals.
