Titanicus!

[Lord Jacobus]

When the vital forge world of Orestes comes under attack by a legion of Chaos Titans, the planet is forced to appeal for help. Titan Legio Invicta, although fresh from combat and in desperate need of refit and repair, responds, committing its own force of war engines to the battle. As the god–machines stride to war, the world trembles, for the devastation they unleash could destroy the very world they have pledged to save.


(yes I copied that from the book I just read, I didn't want to create the setting this time around, wanted to use one allready in existence)

The idea im thinking, either you'l each play a Princeps of a Warhound titan, hardplugged and not suspended in amniotic's. Or you could each partake as a crew member in a much larger titan. (personally I think A princeps of a warhound would be the easiest choice) Or, If you wish not to be a member of the holy Legio Tempustus or Legio Invicta, then perhaps you would be interested in playing a supporting role as a member of the Executer Fetial or other supporting adepts of the mechanicum, male and female characters acceptable

Woah, just saw this. I am entirely down, if you're still running it. I'll get a character posted over the weekend.

[Lord Jacobus]

Sure mate, lol at least one is enough.

[BeRzErKeR]

Ugh, sorry for being late. I caught a cold over the weekend. Here we are!

Name; Princeps Atreus

Age; Ancient. Atreus' biological age is both impossible to determine and, at this point, immaterial. He is certainly hundreds of years old, and much more machine than human.

Appearance; Atreus presents a tall, stooped form, entirely concealed beneath his great, hooded red robes. His lower limbs click and whir as he moves in great jerky strides, cold blue and red lights flickering from the auspex units concealed beneath his cowl. His forelimbs are twisted and pale, atrophied human arms lengthened by augmetic sections, surmounted by long digits equipped with machine-probes, gripper claws and fine tools.

Background; Atreus (Number 823.7634.31-644) was decanted in a specialized eugenics creche, one of 32 attached to the Collegia Titanica of Orestes. He and his sibs were the product of 49 generations of intensive genetic modification, culling and directed evolution, designed to produce a larger percentage of minds suitable for mind-link to Titans or other powerful machine-spirits.

The program was only a qualified success. While nearly 28% of the young produced were capable of retaining their sanity and self-image when attached to a machine-spirit of near Titan level, virtually all were incapable of progressing much beyond that, due to genetic flaws brought forth by the brutal forced-evolution program. No young produced were capable of linking to an Imperator-class spirit without dying of internal hemorrhaging within minutes. Of the 28%, most were assigned to interact with the massive forge-temples of Orestes, or attached to Cataphractii units; only a very few managed to pass the harsh examinations required to enter the Legions. The resources expended were far in excess of the benefit, and the program was discontinued a few years after Atreus was grown.

Atreus was one of the few, but the strain of piloting a Warhound Titan is as much as his mind can handle. Short test-links to larger Titans proved that conclusively when he was younger. As such Atreus is among the elite of the Mechanicus, but held to the lowest rank of that august company despite his age and experience.

Personality; Atreus has been viewed all his life as an experiment, and very nearly a failed one at that. His earliest memories are of hours of torturous examinations, on which his life depended. His years of fierce struggle were initially rewarded by the greatest of blessings, being allowed to link with one of the God-Machines, but nearly three centuries have passed since then, and Atreus cannot progress. He is jealous of his more powerful comrades, bitter towards the Magii who created him imperfectly, and self-hating because he cannot control his emotions in the way a faithful Tech-priest should. He puts on a cold, aloof front when dealing with other Techpriests to mask his emotions.

Titan; The Alecto is one of the older Warhounds of the Legio Invicta, with more than a hundred battle insignia and thousands of confirmed kills. It is armed as a sniper/skirmisher unit, with twin turbolaser emplacements. Atreus usually takes to the extreme flank when battle is joined, sniping enemy armored units at long range while avoiding the melee.

Atreus' personality has bled over into Alecto; with him as princeps it shies away from cooperating with other Titans of the Legio and ruthlessly hunts down inferior enemy units while skittishly avoiding engagement with enemy Titans or powerful superheavy formations.

[Lord Jacobus]

sall good bezerk, il give a bit of time with the roll call left open here, while i start the game thread within the day or so.

[BeRzErKeR]

*nudge nudge*

[Lord Jacobus]

sorry Bezerk, i got lost amidst the tides of life...

[iamspartacus]

This brings back memories. My g-talk handle is still animus solitarius

[DoLhades]

Name; Princeps Sereus

Age; A 'new' Princep, after suffering major damage and even his technological life support system (The man was shot many times during battles with Chaos) shut down, he had spent 3 centuries in a coma with the Chaos attempting to manipulate the systems into making him support Chaos. he has been around since just before the Dark age of Technology and sheer luck has saved him countless times in battle, he has earned the name "Lucky one" by his crewmen.

Appearance; His mainly technological body gives him the appearance of a techpriest, however he wears a military uniform and likes bolt pistols, in fact he has 3 in case his first and second both jam

Background; Not much is known about him, some say he stole an Ork stompa when his Kaskrin squad was killed and returned through miles of ork territories to Marine lines, some say that his skills in a sentiniel were noticed and the thought of him kin a titan promoted him into a Princep, these are unlikely stories and has been denied by the Titan Legions.

Personality; He is more mechanisms than human, and he likes to get on with work, due to the amount of machine he is he actually recharges his batteries when not needed!

Titan; He uses A Warhound scout titan named "Venerable", it wields a turbo laser and inferno cannon, it was the third warhound of its type to be introudced to the legion. It has got a stompa head hanging from its guns.
