3 | Andoriol Phi 2319 is not really a hero. On falling through the warp from Terra in the Third Millenium to the forgeworld Iacoria in the Forty-First, he wisely decided to keep his head down, survive, and make the best living he could as a tech-priest. |
4 | |
5 | Then Chaos invaded Iacoria, survival meant self-promoting to pilot of an Imperial Knight, and Andoriol was catapulted to the attention of the Inquisition. |
6 | |
7 | ---- |
8 | !! Imperial Von Neuman datastream contains examples of: |
9 | * AllThereInTheManual: A character sheet given at the beginning helpfully describes Andoriol's implants... and some minor psychic powers that haven't come up in the story. |
10 | * BecauseISaidSo: Inquisitor Veyla's general attitude. |
11 | * BeYourself: Andoriol walks a fine line between assimilating into Mechanicus culture enough not to dragged out and shot, and not drinking the kool-aid. In particular, in being nice to menials and taking shortcuts in rituals to appease the Machine Spirits when he can. |
12 | * BloodKnight: Ordnatus had a personality, one that revolves almost entirely around killing the enemies of the Imperium. This later is used as a SecretTestOfCharacter, when one of the acolytes working on it asks Andoriol what he thinks the Machine Spirit wants. |
13 | * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Averted, thus far. |
14 | * FlashBack: There's one to explain how Andoriol got to where he was on Iacoria, when the story started. |
15 | * GondorCallsForAid: It is nice to see a bunch of the people Andoriol helped ask after his health and for his return [[spoiler: after the Inquisition takes him. Hardly risk-free in 40K.]] |
16 | * GoodIsNotNice: Andoriol is by no means blind to the flaws of the Imperium, but it's all mankind has in a hostile universe. |
17 | * HandCannon: Ordnatus has one, emphasis on the cannon. |
18 | * HumongousMecha: Ordnatus. He's smaller than most examples, and pint-sized compared to any Titan, but definitely qualifies. |
19 | * HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace: Andoriol's brief exposure to the Warp remains one of his most terrifying memories. |
20 | * TheIdealist: Andoriol is pretty averagely jaded for a contemporary figure. In 40K, that makes him a wide-eyed idealist. |
21 | * MachiavelliWasWrong: When other tech-priests cut rations, whip and eventually execute menials, Andoriol's first question is what positive incentives are they being offered. |
22 | * NonActionGuy: Before awakening and piloting Ordnatus' Andoriol's primary contribution to the fight was running and hiding. Not that he lacks courage, but violence doesn't really come naturally to him. |
23 | * NiceGuy: Andoriol, being a relatively well-adjusted example of M2 humanity, goes out of his way to treat everyone with kindness and respect. Peers, Guard, menials, cloned prostitutes, even psykers. |
24 | * RageAgainstTheMentor: Andoriol to Lydia Veyla, after [[spoiler: she has him tortured.]] |
25 | * ShoutOut: A few, particularly Ordnatus' activation phrase. [[Anime/TheBigO Cast in the Name of God, Ye Not Guilty]]. |
26 | * SuperSoldier: Captain Titus, as an Astartes. |
