Greetings folks. This is the template for use with the creation of characters in the Warhammer 40,000: Nova World Project. At the moment not all races are open and characters are encouraged to come from all walks of life. That said, we request that you practice caution when creating your characters in terms of power as we will most certainly be looking each and every one of you over with a critical eye. It's one thing to play up the strength of character, it's another thing entirely to play something in a league beyond every other characters in the game.
Now, a word on races and the like. Firstly, the Tyranids, Necrons and Dark Eldar are unavailable for play. This may change in the future, but they won't be introduced until a story element and moderated threads appear to introduce them. We have some surprises in stock for when they do show up however. Following is also a list of current factions for various existing races that are available. This is to allow streamlining of the story elements and to tie every character together in some way, and such things are not up for discussion. If you have a really cool concept that cannot be expressed in what we have already available, then feel free to make your character sheet and flag it for special review where we will discuss it on a case-by-case basis.
Space Marines of the Ultramarines chapter are active in the system, their transport ship Terminus currently orbiting Nova II as they assess the situation. The Imperial Guard re-enforcements consist almost unanimously of the Death Korps of Kreig command, they have begun setting up a base of operation upon Nova III in order to stamp out the troublesome Orks. Orks themselves are largely composed of Death Skulls with the Craftworld Eldar being an envoy from the Biel-Tan.
- Code:
-
[u]General Information[/u]
[b]Full Name:[/b] Your character's full real name, not everyone uses one but they certainly still have one. [b]Codename or Alias:[/b] Any nickname(s) that your character goes by. [b]Gender:[/b] Male or Female, obviously... I hope. [b]Age:[/b] How old is your character? [b]Place Of Birth:[/b] What planet was your character born on? [b]Occupation/Status:[/b] Where exactly do you fit into the grand scheme of things? [b]Alignment:[/b] Good, Evil, Lawful or Chaotic. Can even mix and match or choose to stay Neutral. [b]Factions:[/b] Part of a space marine chapter? An Imperial Guard platoon? Worship a particular god or anything similar? [b]Psychic potancey:[/b] Is your character Warp Sensitive? Can they tap into the dark reaches of the universe and draw upon powers foul, or channel the will of divinity through their body? If you are, please give us a run-down of the kind of things you are capable of, as being a super soldier and a super Psyker at the same time may cause some issues later on. [b]Weapons/Items:[/b] Any major weapons or items your character tends to carry around. Keep in mind that many races are restricted to the weapons they've been gifted, others have more choice and yet more have the option to change their payload over time as they roleplay.
[u]Appearance[/u]
[b]Visual Appearance:[/b] Any possible image goes here. We would prefer if you included a picture, although it's not required. This [B]does not[/B] disclude you from including a physical appearance description, if anyone fills it in as 'See picture', they will likely be voided on the spot. You've been warned.
[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] How does your character look? Explain their actual build, including hair, hair color, eye color, figure, any identifying scars or markings, etc.
[b]Clothing and Armor:[/b] What does your character wear? Include everything they wear in detail to give us a greater image of what they look like,what makes their armor and the like different from every other piece of conscript fatigues out there?
[b]General Personality:[/b] What kind of person is your character? Describe what their persona is and how they are, how they act, what sort of things they like/don't like, their flaws, their strengths, and so on.
[u]Character's History[/u] Can be list of events or a paragraphed description of his general background and history, but this is very much a required part of the character sheet to fill out. Try to include the world they were born upon, why they've left it [if they have], how they came to be a part of the group they now work with. That sort of thing.
[b]Role Play Sample:[/b] Just a sample of your role playing with this character, doesn't have to be too long, maybe a paragraph or something. We use this to judge your grammar, spelling and artistic flair. You have free reign over what your sample contains, but try to keep it in character and relevant.
