I'll put the list of characters here shortly. Click for IC thread.
Username: Wark
Character name: Jace "Rook" Rukowski
Profession: Imperial Guard Weapon Specialist
Age: 28
Height: 6'0
Appearance:
Picture taken by Imperial war correspondents shows the valiant defense of a Salvatorian hab block by the valiant
soldiers of the 173rd Alterran Regiment
Corporal Jace Rukowski; a picture taken of him in the field without his consent by Imperial war correspondents.
Equipment: Standard Imperial Guard kit, set of flak armor, rebreather, flamer, lascarbine, warknife, grenades, standard issue steel plated cajones
Background: Jace was a hardboiled young street thug in the slums of Alterra when an almost too close to call brush with the law ended up scaring him straight. He spent several years after that working in the manufactories as a welder when his honest living was suddenly cut short by the calling up of several Imperial Guard regiments from his homeworld. Rukowski (or "Rook" as his squadmates would simply call him) would be put into the 173rd Alterran light infantry and shipped to the front with the rest of his comrades to hold the line against the enemies of the Imperium. Three years of hard fighting against the orks passed and much of the 173rd is gone now. What was left was sent to Salvator to help shore up its defenses, the regiment's remaining troops having been forged by the fires of combat from green recruits into veteran guardsmen. Rook is simply a guardsman who was separated from his unit in the disorderly evacuation...a situation that might just make him the last living guardsman of the 173rd Alterran.
Character name: Sargent Balalaika Vladislava Danilovna
Profession: Imperial Guard Sniper
Age: 21
Height 5' 4
Appearance:
" A Guardsman's life expectancy on the front is 15 hours, a Sniper's Half that, yet here i am 3 years into my service to the throne. my only skills being the ability to plant a lasbolt between the eyes of an Ork from a Klom Away and run fast enough to avoid the Earthshakers"
Equipment: Standard Imperial Guard Kit, Long Las, Las Pistol, Flare gun, Camo-Cloak.
Bio: Sargent Danilovna is a member of the Valhallan 388th Artillery, and as such has both a natural hatred of, and traditional knowledge of the Greenskin race that once attacked her home world, once the daughter of a Hunter she was conscripted into the guards and was soon fast tracked into the markswoman path. Her Task, Pin the enemy in place with sniper fire and officer assassination, then call in artillery fire onto the immobile and confused hordes. Such a task has a high casualty rate, with risks from both enemy and friendly guns so Danilovna has developed a rather cold and unfriendly demeanor, why bother making friends when you or they could be dead at any moment? She doesn't know or particularly care why she was pushed onto this Valkyrie in particular, or where the rest of her regiment is. As far as she is concerned, with them out of the picture, her odds of survival have actually gone up.
Character Name: Nathaniel Gregorious Yorck
Profession: Would rather not say
Age: 24
Height: 6' 2"
Appearance: Due to his line of work, refuses to take his mask off although he swears that the air on most of the planets he has visited is toxic anyways so this is to his benefit.
Equipment: Hellgun, Carapace armor, combat knife, full face rebreather, backpack filled with miscellaneous kit including ration bars, a well maintained copy of the Imperial Guardsman's Uplifting Primer, spare ammo packs, water canteen, several mechanic's field tools, and 1 inquisitorial seal.
Background: Nathanial Gregorious Yorck, often known as "Don't touch that" was recruited into the PDF of a backwater planet home to a great many manufactorums before becoming a member of a Kill Team. Through rigorous training Nathanial maintained a healthy disrespect for the Machine Spirit and would often retrofit customizations onto many of the squad's gear ranging from aftermarket scopes to one time equipping Valkyrie thrusters to a chimera in an attempt to make a "Rapid strike" variant of the chimera. After the ruination of several habs, a perfectly good chimera, and a Valkyrie that Nathanial swears was in great disrepair to begin with he was sentenced to a penal legion in the actual Imperial Guard. He excelled in breaching doors through the use of explosives, cutting, or ramming with various items. It was then that he was picked up by Inquisitor Fenris Favro who allowed Nathanial a great deal of leeway in his breaching techniques. Nathanial was supposed to be on his way back to a transport that would rendezvous him with the rest of his team for a different task, however this recent event could prove an interesting distraction for the easily entertained Nathanial.

Character name: Korina Roedder
Profession: Interrogator
Age: 30
Height: 5'7
Appearance:
Equipment: Bolt pistol, force sword, Inquisitorial signet, finely-crafted set of cybernetics that replace the left half of her face
Background: In the aftermath of an attack by Eldar pirates on the small mining moon of Balax, Inquisitor Victoria Thrace of the Ordo Xenos found 15 year old Korina Roedder the sole survivor from the moon's population. The teenager was strong of will and most noticeably, possessed latent psychic powers that had gone undiscovered until the attack, so the Inquisitor decided to make her an acolyte. Over the years her skills were honed and eventually she rose to the rank of Interrogator, only one step from becoming a full Inquisitor. During that time she suffered grievous injuries fighting the same Eldar pirates that attacked her home, necessitating cybernetics to replace the ruined left half of her face.
Character name: Lucinda Harper
Profession: None (Workplace is kinda burnt)
Age: 19
Height 5'6
Appearance:
Equipment: Gas mask, two combat blades, two auto-pistols, various knives hidden upon person and whatever else she can loot when possible
Bio: Born onto the forge world Caedis V, Lucinda expected nothing but a hard and long life working for one of the planets many manufactorums. As such it was of little surprise when like many she turned to less than scrupulous methods to help improve her lot in life, falling in with one of the local gangs when she turned 16. Of course an alien invasion doesn't usually cover the protection racket but she'll be damned if she didn't at least try.
Username: Castiel
Character name: Private Daryn Falk
Profession: Imperial Guard Private, 45th Ventralian Light Infantry
Age: 30
Height: 5 ft 9 in
Appearance: Dirty blonde hair with blue eyes and a wiry build. Looks older than his years.
Equipment: Dark grey uniform, flak armour breastplate, rebreather, lasgun, laspistol, bayonet, frag grenades
Background: Daryn is from Ventralia, an municipal world where the career options are to join the Guard, or join the Administratum. Faced with the choice of death by too much excitement or too little, Falk chose the former. He is a career soldier with almost 12 years of combat experience. He has no interest in promotion and the burdens that would bring, but does have an uncanny knack for surviving against the odds whether by luck or skill he does not know. He has a fatalistic attitude. The 45th Ventralian were a lightly armoured unit specialising in rapid urban warfare, adept at flanking, rapid assaults and attacking from unexpected directions rather than holding fixed positions or line breaking by force. During the retreat, the rest of Daryn's unit was killed and he has not been able to ascertain the whereabouts of the remainder of his regiments, if they still exist at all.
