For the sake of making these much easier to find for those undertaking the task, I'll be posting all the commissioned drawing profiles here, and will be updating this as more information is given/more profiles are made.
All Page numbers thus far refer to the location of each profile within the original discussion. If you see discrepancies between the originals and the ones posted here, assume the one here is an updated version.
- Name/Title: Chapter Master Zolomon
- Gender: Male
- Hair Length/Style: Bald
- Hair Color: Grey.
- Physique (Facial Structure, Muscle Tone, Scars, etc): Craggy, well-muscled, plentiful small scars, one of which makes any attempt to smile any wider than a smirk unpleasant; note plates of metal and clamps to hold parts of his face together, along the jawline, I think; also note that one ear is completely replaced with an audio implant.
- Clothing/Equipment (Armor, Weapons, Accessories, etc): Full suit of customized Power Armor, take note of this when designing his Founder's Helm; Primary weapons include a chainsword and thunder shield. Note various purity seals festooning his pauldrons like officer's filigree, as well as a deformed Iron Warrior emblem shaped brooch on his right breastplate.
- Preferred Posture: Standing at attention /or/ combat stance
- Name: Zelenin “Zee” _____ (nee Arkangelsk) [also known as Lana)
- Gender: Female
- Hair Length/Style: to mid-back or waist/uh…let’s go with "Wavy" for now.
- Hair Color: golden blonde
- Physique (Facial Structure, Muscle Tone, Scars, etc): While I can't get all these ironed out right away, I can tell you of some of the odder characteristics Zee possessed. As Lana, she possessed a quartet of elegant, backswept horns—two on each side of her head—and I believe she had purple eyes. When she was later purified and made into a vampire, her eyes became red and she lost the horns, gaining a pair of fangs and a set of retractable angelic wings in the process.
- Clothing/Equipment (Armor, Weapons, Accessories, etc): her clothing has changed a number of times throughout the story. When she first appeared (as the daemon Lana), she wore a purple robe that accentuated her many...assets, for lack of a better term, and beneath this she wore what could be best described as a dominatrix outfit; after she was freed from her daemonic taint and transformed into a hybrid of a vampire and a Living Saint, she went through both a hospital smock and a maid's outfit for a time, then switched over to a set of crimson Sororitas armour for the final battle. As Lana, she wielded a daemonic, segmented whipsword called Aphrodite in combat; this weapon was destroyed in the process of purifying her, however, so eventually she moved onto a regular chainsword which she would frequently use her newly-sanctified powers to encase in a wreath of holy white fire.

Eliminate the opposition and triumph by any means necessary; Fighting fair is only for those who can afford to lose.
Mainly because they look incredibly out of place and jar with the other facets of her appearance.
Personally I'm not sure if it was such a great idea to create a seperate thread - other forum RPs have went just dandy keeping the same discussion thread, and I sincerely doubt that people would look to the discussion thread of all things to get a flavour of the RP... but that's just me.
Locking you up on radar since '09It's more a repository for information that would quickly be lost in the regular discussion thread, as far as I can see it. It's not for normal discussion.
That's why I'll use this post to update my profiles for Darius' squad:
Name: Brother-Terminator Avant Morrowheim
Affiliation: Inquisitor Darius Bickerstaff's retinue (formerly Argent Crusaders chapter)
Description: A tall, imposing mountain of a man, his face grim and battle-scarred. Has a very short regulation haircut and blonde hair. His armour is in the white-and-silver colours of the Argent Crusaders.
Equipment: Tactical Dreadnought Armour, some of the most well-made and impenetrable body armour known to the universe. He carries a master-crafted Thunder Hammer, a storm bolter, and a combat shield. He is also equipped with a teleporter, which will run out of power after several uses.
Backstory: Avant is one of the veteran warriors of the Argent Crusaders, a chapter with strong ties to the Inquisition. When Darius Bickerstaff asked for one of their warriors to act as one of his Acolytes, Avant was put forward for his skill and experience.
Personality: Morrowheim's first priority is upholding the honour of his chapter. To this end, he does his utmost to carry out his duties as a bodyguard and acolyte to the Lord Inquisitor to the best of his ability, seeing it more as a privilege than a duty. He does, however, take some issue with the other members of the retinue, seeing them as undeserving of the privilege of working under th Inquisitor. Other than this, his characterisation is up to the player.
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.![]()
Indeed, that is the general purpose of this thread. Speaking of which, I'll be putting GAIUS MORAX!!! here as well.
Brother Gaius Morax, novice cleric of the Ecclesiarchy. A scrawny lad of ruddy skin, Gaius was born and raised on a densely populated Hive-world near the border of the Segmentums Tempestus and Ultima. His parents, and by extension him, were factory dregs, slaving away for long hours over chemical vats and complex machinery in the manufactorum; the constant exposure to chemical fumes has caused his hair to grey prematurely and made his eyes a vivid, haunting shade of green. His body is covered in a multitude of tatoos, some of them showing the positions he's held in the factory hierarchy, while others denote favourite passages and illustrations from religious texts.
A pious lad in his youth, Gaius was happy and honest in spite of his pour conditions, finding it easy to make friends with the children of other workers as well as the gangers of the underhive and the youths of the middle hive. Still, he felt that he was destined for greater things than a life of eternal manual labour, and when the opportunity presented itself he joined the Ecclesiarchy, serving as an aide to Father Brahman.
He might have been content to remain in this position, where it not for the encroachment of Hive Fleet Leviathan; Genestealer cults sprang up throughout the hives, killing many—including Gaius' parents. This incident has given him a deep and abiding hatred of xenos and their sympathizers, and now he travels the stars, preaching the word of the Emperor (blessed be His name) even as he roots out dens and warrens of xenos corruption and heresy. He has heard of the strange inhabitants of Gensokyo but thought them only myth; how he will react to them is uncertain.
At thirty-five years of age, Brother Gaius is a dangerous individual, being equally skilled in combat and oratory. He can inspire and inflame his allies even as he cleanses the alien and the heretic with sword, revolver and crossbow. He is relatively progressive for a member of the Ecclesiarchy—he will give heretics and alien sympathizers one chance, and one chance only, to repent their sins and turn to the Emperor's Divine Grace before falling upon them with a righteous fury.

Nobody; he's a character I made using the Dark Heresy rulebook way back in August, specifically for the sequel. His every trait was determined by a roll of the dice.

The Danse Macabre CodexSo, anyone want Avant?
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.As for the second one (which I remember someone asked about):
Name: MADAN (Mag-Alpha-Delta-Alpha-Nox)
Affiliation: Darius Bickerstaff's retinue.
Description: A cyborg, MADAN is now barely recognizable as human. He has a steel mask covering his face and wears a ragged shroud over himself when not engaged in combat. His hands are steel claws, and various pieces of machinery jut from his skin.
Equipment: MADAN has a set of steel claws which double as vibroweapons for maximum armour penetration. He has a dartgun built into his right wrist which can fire darts coated with various chemicals and toxins.
Abilities: MADAN's skin (even where uncovered) has been heavily modified and is more resistant to damage than that of an ordinary human. MADAN can also inject himself at will with a potent cocktal of combat stimms, heightening his reaction times and movement speeds to superhuman levels.
Backstory: MADAN was a Chrono-gladiator, a being artificially engineered to fight for the amusement of the crowds. After Darius encountered a Rogue Trader using the galadiatorial ring as part of an illegal trade in xenos weaponry, MADAN saved the Inqusitor's life from another gladiator. Darius returned the favour by shutting down MADAN's kill-switch, and offered to allow the gladiator to travel with him. MADAN accepted.
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.Very interesting character, Axes.
All of these awesome villains make me wonder if Silon's gonna be Overshadowed by Awesome, ala my characters in World War X (no offence intended to those who play the super powered characters in said RP).
Locking you up on radar since '09I imagine him as a cross between the Spy and the Sniper (except without the Aussie accent and weird ski mask thing. He's not much in a straight-up fight, but then again, that's not the point.
I have one other character for the sequel ,but she needs a bit more developing. Basically, she's a member of a fervently-Imperial cult, and she's in possession of a very powerful technological relic which only responds to members of the cult. Working out what exactly the relic is is the problem I'm facing now.
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.Team Archaon Devastators (Team Boomdakka)
The three fire-support members of the Deathwatch team have fought alongside each other for centuries, and their efficiency in combat reflects this. The Orks especially know and fear them, dubbing them "da Boomdakka boyz" when they helped fend off a gigantic raid on a Mechanicus facility, the din from their weapons covering even the ork's Squiggoth's roars.
Brother Samson
A heavily-augmented Steel Judicator Devastator Marine, Samson is a veteran of many a conflict against nearly every foe the galaxy has to offer and one of those present on Gensokyo during its first pacification. His experiences have made him a world-weary, tired man, though this is only in appearance, as he is never heard to complain of any hardship. His relationship with the other two is to to attempt to calm the waters, but most often he can only look on in exasperation as Hyubriss and Thorkellsson start bickering about their respective Chapter's merits. He wields heavy bolter, missile launcher and lascannon with equal ease, and keeps a chainsword should the enemy survive long enough to close the distance.
- Badass Grandpa
- Bald Of Awesome
- Cool Old Guy
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Averted, his various sensory feeds help him to aim, but don't really affect his personality.
- Face Palm: Ends up doing this a lot.
- Frickin' Laser Beams
- More Dakka
- Nakama
- Only Sane Man
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue Oni to the other two reds.
- Seen It All
- The Big Guy
- Vitriolic Best Buds
Bjorn Thorkellsson
A former Space Wolves Long Fang, Bjorn is a giant even for a Space Marine, his size and strength further enhanced by his Terminator armor. He tends to be the loudest in any group, and loves taunting Hyubriss as he is always looking for a fight.
There is nothing he enjoys more than sowing devastation and chaos in the enemy line with both his Assault Cannon and Cyclone missile launchers from afar, his mighty voice taunting the hapless foe all the while. Should the enemy ever survive the hail of bullets, Bjorn shows himself a true son of Fenris by smashing them with his Thunder Hammer or his own hands.
- Angrish / Gratuitous English / Hulk Speak: The Fenrisian village he comes from has a rather unique variation on Low Gothic, which pierces through when he's distracted.
- Badass Beard
- Boisterous Bruiser
- Drop The Hammer
- Large Ham
- Gatling Good
- Macross Missile Massacre
- More Dakka
- Nakama
- Roar Dakka
- The Big Guy (biggest of the three)
- Worthy Opponent: He is secretly proud of the Ork's nickname for his group.
- Vitriolic Best Buds
Raphael Hyubriss
An Ultramarines Devastator Marine, Raphael Hyubriss the well-named is convinced of his Chapter's inherent superiority. He routinely mocks and derides any and all other Astartes while flaunting the Ultramarines many accomplishments (and conveniently ignoring their failures.) These acts bother the Ultramarines just as much as the other chapters, so much in fact that Marneus Calgar himself sent Raphael to serve in the Deathwatch to teach him some humility. So far it hasn't worked out.
Despite his ego and idealizing of the Chapter, he is a competent leader and a fearsome warrior. He is the de facto leader of Team Archaon's Devastator team (and thinks Team Archaon should have fallen to an Ultramarine), though mostly because Bjorn sees antagonizing his superior as amusing (and inferiors as cowardly and unworthy of a Space Wolf) and Samson as it being too much of a hassle to get them two to work together permanently (as he already does so when the other two are fighting anyway). He is well versed in the use of heavy bolters, missile launchers and plasma cannons, and uses them to great effect on the battlefield.
- Bald Of Awesome
- Boisterous Bruiser
- Large Ham
- Frickin' Laser Beams
- Meaningful Name
- More Dakka
- Nakama
- Pride
- The Big Guy
- The Napoleon: Sort of. While over seven feet tall, he resents the fact that Thorkell is even taller (and without his armor).
- Vitriolic Best Buds
Okay, finally going to pt up the third up-for-grabs member of Team Bickerstaff:
Name: Anya Carcima
Affiliation: Retinue of Darius Bickerstaff
Description: Anya is fairly young, with shoulder-length blonde hair (tied back during battle) and green eyes. She is fairly average, but her physique is as you'd expect from someone who has spent their whole life performing fitness and combat drills.
Equipment: Anya bears the Mantle of The Virtuous, a set of highly-advanced armour from before the Dark Age of Technology. Unfortunately, the armour is keyed to her genetic make-up (and that of the other Virtuous Ones) and rejects all attempts to study it. It appears to be an advanced version of the armour used by Seraphim of the Adeptus Sororitas, with a built in jet-pack. However, it is unique in that weapons systems akin to flamers or meltaguns are built into the armour, with Anya being able to fire gouts of flame or superheated air from her gauntlets.
Backstory: Anya was born on a hive world into the secret society/cult of The Virtuous Ones, a devoutly Imperial group tracing their lineage from a saint of the distant past. The saint's armour (the Mantle) had been in their possession for millenia, kept in secret, when Darius Bickerstaff enountered them. After declaring them a permissible variation of the imperial cult, the cult were eager to aid him in routing out heretics on other worlds. Anya was chosen, as one of the most fervent members and the one with the best command of the Mantle.
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Creating this thread because the discussion thread for The Imperium Of Man Comes To Gensokyo is simply too long to read through, especially for those who have only recently joined the sequel and most likely do not wish to hunt through nearly 20,000 posts' worth of material, not all of which is relevant any longer.
This thread shall be used to discuss things pertaining directly to the sequel itself, while general stuff like worldbuilding will remain in the old thread.
