Haxtes

1433605095178.jpg (37.94 KiB) Viewed 818 times
Player: Grimbold
Height: 175 cm
Weight 70kg
Eyes: grey
Hair: blond /shaved or very short at the moment
Homeworld: Imperial Warzone

Known History: Haxtes grew up on an Imperial World, wrecked with war. He has always had a knack for technology and liked repairing stuff. When he was 10 he was recruited/abducted by the tech-priests of Mars one afternoon. His home was destroyed soon after, but he learned about this only years after. He underwent rigorous training on one of the Tech-Priest forgeworlds where he learned a lot, and some of his body parts were replaced by machinery. He hopes to be able to replace even more soon. As a tech-priest, he has limited access to some of the most advanced technology. He is very logical, speaking little and showing almost no emotion. He bears several electoos and a luminem charge, as well as other hidden technology. He has met his brother Jericus again recently, after almost two decades. But he has not shared more than the necessary words with him. Who knows what the future will bring?

Update: After undergoing some more major surgery on the Lathes, Haxtes has become more machine than ever. He does not talk much, but also has shown no signs of emotion whatsoever since then. Surely this walking nuclear reactor hides some strange devices on his body ...

Name - Solaria Limentus
Height - 1.70m
Weight - 60kg
Eyes - Grey
Hair - Black
Appearance - Tall, athletic build, fair skin. Has stylized tribal tatoo that starts on left side of face and goes down the entire left side of her body.
Homeworld-Tranch

Known History - Born on the Hive World Tranch, to dreg parents that worked in the factories that produed weapons and munitions for the Imperium, Solaria grew up quickly. Her parents often told her that good people would prevail and those that took from others were to die under the God-Emperor's wrath. Ever watchful of how the corrupt leaders of Tranch would use the workers to increase their personal wealth, but leave them peniless, Solaria wished for more. She wished for the ability to bring balance to the worlds and let those that deserved their due to finally get it. The young woman joined the Arbites Academy, not wanting to spend her days toiling as her parents had. They truly wished more for her. Applying herself and showing the determination that her parents had ingrained in her, Solaria graduated in the top 5 of a class of over 300. These top 5 were approached by the Inquisitor for special service within the Imperium. She accepted the challenge and now hopes to finally make a difference. To judge those that have lost the ways of mankind and bring a sliver of hope to those once like her.

Now she kicks ass and forgets names for the Ordos!!!

Jericus (Trogdor)

Height: 180 cm
Weight: 70 kg
Eyes: grey
Hair: brown
Distinguishing Feature: scar on left cheek
Homeworld: Imperial Warzone

Known History
Jericus is Haxtes' younger brother, though they had not seen each other for years before being assigned together. They were born on an Imperial world wracked by war. Haxtes left when Jericus was young. And not long after, his home was destroyed around him, leaving him the sole survivor.

He was taken to a refugee camp, where he made himself useful to the local guards, running errands and such. A clerk in the Administratum was impressed with his industry, intelligence, and initiative and took him on as an apprentice, teaching him to read and understand the Imperial bureaucracy. From that point, Jericus has been working on climbing the Administratum ladder.

Damien (ManWithDoor)

Homeworld: Cadia

Known History:
Born on the Imperial World of Cadia, Damien was not raised fully as one of the other citizens. While most are armed to the teeth, the once young Damien was more the intellectual sort. Coming from a standard merchantile family, he thought to either take up the family business, or become a scholar of some sort. When his powers manifested at the age of 15, that was quickly done away with. Up he went to the Black Ships of Terra, to undergo years of rigorous examination and training. He was deemed worthy of further service, rather than simply being used to sustain the Emperor upon his Golden Throne like so many others.

Given his extreme loyalty, intellect, and strength of will, he was recruited by the Inquisition early in his career. Primarily he has worked behind the scenes, scanning minds and taking care of internal threats. Only recently has he been assigned active field work. Only time will tell on whether or not he will survive such a thing.
I will update with more biographical information soon.

++Astropathic Missive #239-Blue-17++

To: Inquisitor Sand
From: Operative 'Nightshade'
Subject: Re: Mortiurge-Proctor Lucius Brutus

+++++

My lord, as per your request, I have attached the personnel files of one 'Lucius Brutus', a person of interest, who has witnessed the effects of the Hereticus Tenebrae firsthand, as noted in Missive #237-Blue-17.

Name: Brutus, Lucius
Rank: Proctor (Mortiurge specialisation)
Serial Number: Obscurus-Calixis-Josian Reach-Alpha-41-98-784
Date of birth: yxxx784.M41 (Exact date unknown)
Place of birth: <UNKNOWN>
Parents: <UNKNOWN, DECEASED> Cogitator search 'Brutus' failed!
Term of Adeptus Arbites service: 16 years
Merits: Bravery (17 instances), Injuries in the line of duty (24 instances), 10 year service badge, academy degree with distinction
Disciplinary Demerits: Excessive Force (4 instances), Disregard of orders (1 instance, unproven)

Height: 1.73 metres
Body Mass: Approximately 76 kilograms
Hair Colour: Grey
Eye Colour: Grey
Distinguishing Physical Features: Extensive facial scarring.

Biography:

Proctor Lucius Brutus has served for 16 years, since the age of 16 years old when he graduated from Saint Maria's Ward, a Schola Progenium on Fenksworld. He attended the academy on Scintilla for 3 years before graduating with distinction in 803.M41.

On graduation, Arbitrator Brutus was assigned to the Precinct-Fortress on Zillman's Domain, as, with its high tithe, it required additional Adeptus Arbites presence.

After 4 years of exemplary service, the events of <REDACTED!: See Inquisitorial Briefing!> occurred. As we are all well aware, we lost 17 Arbitrators, to injury, death, and worse. Our savants are still unaware of what exactly happened.

After <REDACTED!>, Arbitrator Brutus became known for being the very embodiment of the professional detachment we attempt to maintain in the Adeptus Arbites. Fear was alien to him, weakness beneath him.

Still, there were murmurs that he no longer 'fit in', which I am inclined to agree with. He was able to work well with colleagues, but, and I'm not afraid to say it, they began to find him 'disturbing', which led to him having 'disagreements' with several Throne-fearing comrades.

After another year, he was transferred to the Mortiurge, in order to take advantage of his ice-cold nature.

He was then given 'special duties', including operations on Fenksworld, amongst other locations (see: Ref. DELTA).

Now, on Sepheris Secundus, as a Mortiurge of note, and very unusually direct methods (see: Ref. THETA), he is kept on retainer in case of extreme need (see: Ref. THETA).
As the references provided show, Proctor-Mortiurge Brutus is an asset we can ill-afford to waste. He may be considered 'dangerous', but I would note plasma weapons are considered dangerous, yet we see fit to keep several in the armoury.

Yours, as always,

'Nightshade'

Name: Hadrian Quinctius Braccus
Height: 1.9m
Weight: 85kg
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Homeworld: Noble Born

Known History: Hadrian has been working with the Arbites of Sepheris Secundus for around a year now. Not much is known of where he comes from, but the fact that he sometimes slips into speaking like an extremely sophisticated noble gives hints as to his past. He arrived at the starport one day looking for work, and he quickly found it from the Arbites.

Hadrian has proven himself very effective at removing some of the worst scum the mines of Sepheris have to offer. Despite his effectiveness, Hadrian has remained distant from his companions in the Arbites, and all attempts to question him about his past are met with silence, him quickly changing the topic of conversation or the barest noncommittal and non-informative answer to all but the highest ranking Arbites of Sepheris. This has led to some suspicion and ostracization from his peers, but he has been tolerated because of his skills at dispatching the enemies of the Emperor.

Merica Adeline Luttrell
Height: 1.65m
Weight: 60kg
Eyes: Light blue
Hair: Blonde
Homeworld: Schola Progenium (Sepheris Secundus)

Known History
Orphaned after a confrontation with a daemon claimed her father, a widowed arbitrator whose wife died giving birth, young Merica was taken in by one of the Ecclesiarchal academies, where her grieving was used to fuel her zeal. She was a quick study, and yearned to take after her father, but the Adepta Sororitas sought to groom her for a higher purpose.

A few years after she graduated into membership with her peers, she was recalled from active duty and arrested by the Ecclesiarchy. No formal charges were brought against her during her interrogation, and she suffered willfully until Inquisitor Sand had her pardoned and conscripted into the Inquisition. Upon release, her interrogator had to be terminated after Sand granted her a singular boon. It is not publicly known why Inquisitor Sand showed an interest in her beyond the talents which carried her to her former title.
