Alright this is my first rp so I hope it?s alright, any one that has suggestions send them to me if you can?..


This is set ahead in time, to the 40th millennia and alien threats are plaguing the human race. There is a foul alien race that have scythe like claws that replace their arms(tyranids). They are living machines of destruction capable of destroying an entire planet and every living thing on it in under a week. You are a human set against these evil aliens and your task is to destroy them and stop their onslaught on this star system. You can also be a super human that is taller than a normal human by about three feet and much stronger, clad in armor made of ceramite your are almost indestructible by the aliens claws and only their acidic weapons can melt through your armor. Only a handful of theses super humans remain though, most have been lost to the aliens attacks. You are set down upon the world of Prism, a snowy, barren planet that only a few settlements can remain on all year round. Your mission is to retrieve data lost to another squad amidst the deserted fort of High Rock. This base has been deserted for nearly thirty years so nobody knows what horrors lie inside it.

Your character starts off riding in the back of a gunship sent from orbit, that will drop you at the fort and send for an evac once you have completed your mission.

Character Sheet:

Name: (obvious)
Age: (Also obvious)
Gender: (obious as well)
Race: (either human or super human)

Appearance: (special armor symbols, the usual things like hair color, eye color etc.)

I will also be controlling settings and events, but if I?m not there I will have one other player design the setting and tell the events that will happen. One last thing, you can do this story in either 1st person or 3rd person whichever way you want.

Anyone that wants to join when this starts is welcome to join!

Name: Jason Cole (#75)
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Super Human
Gear: Green armor with black shoulder pads. The optical lenses on my suits helmet are blood red in color. I carry sword that is red in color, and at the bottom of the blade, at the top of the hilt, there is a skull with four fangs, two on top, two on bottom, that seems to swallow the bottom of the blade. For the skulls eyes there are rubies.
Appearance: On the right shoulder pad of my armor there is a symbol of a white, salamanders head. I have black hair that hangs down to just below my ears and red eyes.
Bio: I began life like any other child, playing with friends, until I was taken away and put under rigorous training every day for ten years. I was given augmentations to increase my strength, endurance, and speed. At the age of 20 I was already wearing the armor they had given to me and was fighting in wars across the galaxy, defending planets from the new alien threat. I volunteered for this mission because I decided it would be interesting if I could join a small force to gather data that might help us win this war.

Name: Romeo
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Human(Imperial guard?)
Gear: standard issue flak armor, gas mask, combat knife, compact parachute, cutitng torch
Appearance: standard issue flak armor, gas mask
Bio: Romeo got his nickname for always complaining about the military life and how he was in deep love with his girlfriend back home. However, with the new alien menace, the military needed all the soldiers it could get, and military life paid well, if you came out alive.

Name: Forkk Bulk
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Gear: Gas mask, combat knife, basic First Aid and a signet ring.
Appearance: Tall, dark skinned with a large beard. Short, slightly wavy hair (curled on the sides and back) Wears grey camouflage uniform with runes on the cuffs.
Bio: Imperial guard soldier, recently conscripted. Comes from family of soldiers, grandfather was a Commandant. Is not much of the warring type.

Name: Lenandum Kael
Age: 82
Gender: Male
Race: Super Human - Space Marine/Adeptus Astartes
Gear: Heavyweight black plated armour with a full-face helmet that has red eyes. His right shoulderpad has green trim and an upward facing arrow starting at the bottom edge going up to just over halfway. His left shoulderpad is completely black with a white eagle dead-centre. His breastplate is of similar detail to the left shoulderpad. He carries a large metal pack on his back, the top of which works as the ventilation for his armour.
Appearance: Same as his gear.
Bio: Due to a complication in his genetic modification, Lenandum can only remember as far back as the beginning of his brutal Space Marine training. Since then, he's been in 17 large scale battles. In all of them, his entire squad save himself have lost their lives, and thus has given him a reputation for being unkillable. In his most recent battle, he captured an enemy heavy weapons position and used it against the enemy defence by breaching a hole in the enemy's makeshift walls, which gave his company a breach point. Since then, he has done nothing but train and study past victories and defeats, in an attempt to become a model strategist.

I'm kinda interested, although I agree with Berethond that you might as well rename it Halo or WH 40K. Reserved, I'll try run one up for tomorrow.

This sounds interesting, but just a few things niggling at me preventing me from posting a character sheet.
If this is a warhammer 40k rp, you may as well just use tyranids as they are the only thing similar to what you have described in the 40k universe at that time.
And how are you on your 40k backstory?

Im going to lay down the scene and the inside of the gunship... also sorry if i controled your character a bit to start the rp, if you want to come in on your own i'll change it so you can...

*The loud sound of the thrusters was nearly drowned out by the sound of the howling wind that now whipped around the hull of the gunship as it flew above the surface of the snow covered planet of Prism. The snowy, cold weather outside the gunship was nothing compared to the quietness of the inside of the gunship. Inside there was a hall that held a table, arrayed with all different varietes of weapons, ready to be given to the team. There was one lone figure sitting in the hall and it was an enourmous figure, clad in armor that seemed to weigh over 700 pounds itself. Red eyes shone through the darkness of the hall, and the figure sat unmoving, even as more figures began walking into the room, all much smaller than the figure clad in green armor. None of them carried weapons as they were told not to, they were to be given their own choice of weapons now. When all of them were seated, another man walked into the hall, he had a bionic arm and eye. He had a long scar above and below his bionic eye, making them all assume he had lost his eye by that cut.
"Alright, you have all volunteered to do this mission, and i am to outfit you with the weapons of your choice. I will give you as many weapons as you can carry without falling behind the others." The man told the now assembled group.(Dont take six different large weapons, i mean you can only carry one large weapon and a pistol or such)
"Now you there, what weapons do you want, come on up here and grab your weapons." The man said pointing at Romeo, who had been sitting on the far right.
