This RP will be using a modified version of the Deathwatch Rules, but worry not you don't need to have these rules or even be familiar with them. I will monitor all of the number crunching mayhem on my end, the only contribution that the players need to provide is description. The greater you describe something and allow it to take form, the better.
This will still follow the concept that exists in Othrim's RP, that of You describe an action, but the result is entirely out of your hands, it is in mine. Now understand this is only for relevant actions. If you wish to walk across a bridge, or clean your gun. You are pretty safe in finishing your action on your own. However if you look around a corner, I control what you see. If you attack something, I control what happens. Really, use common sense in determining if you really have the ability to decide the outcome or if you must defer to the GM (me).
This RP will be slow and steady to facilitate everyone. So there is to be no post-a-thons of stuff when other people are not present. If a conversation is going on, by all means carry it out, but if your conversation leaves somebody out STOP and continue it later when they have a chance to respond and be involved. We want this to be fun for everyone, so take that into consideration. As moderator I will lock the thread when I feel it should take a hiatus and let you all stew over what you will do next.
Any OOC chatter is to be in spoilers [ spoiler] text [/ spoiler]. Please try not to abuse these. OOC chatter is often necessary, but if we can avoid pages of (spoiler) that would be great. Additionally, don't feel you have to be completely open with your team. If you want to send a private vox message to somebody PM them, just be sure to copy the PMs to me as well so I know what you are saying. Also if you are alone and want to be sneaky, you can send your actions via PM to me and I will take them into account and nobody will be aware of your sneaking.
That being said, if you wish to take part (and are an approved member of the group) I will require several things PM'd.
Character Name -
Chapter -
Class -
*Classes are [Tactical, Assault, Apothecary, Devestator, Librarian, Techmarine]
Wargear -
Description/Backstory -
Now Wargear and Description/Backstory are two special bits. Backstory does not mean write an entire story, however the more detailed the better. Your backstory should be an example of your Marine and what makes him who he is.
Like if I did one for my Wolf Priest in Othrim's Deathwatch I'd write something like this.
(eg. Fafnir, Wolf Priest of the Space Wolves is a massive Space Marine, larger than many of his brethren. He is a strong and stoic Marine that holds closely to the old ways of Chapter, and lets his faith guide him with unnerring certainty. Many years has he survived amidst the ranks of the Wolves of Russ, and earned the grudging respect of his peers through tenacity and a sheer stubbornness that seems to cheat death itself. His white hair and long fangs mark him as a senior member. Often on missions prior to joining the Deathwatch he was selected to lead for his charisma, experience, and skills at close combat and stealth. He was selected for the Deathwatch after proving his valor and tactics while facing an Ork incursion on one of the planets in the outer reaches. While often a grim figure, Fafnir is prone to bits of dark humor that outsiders to the Space Wolves may find unsettling. His crozius, Wolf Pendant and Fang of Malokai were granted him with his position as Wolf Priest of the Great Company of Harald Deathwolf. While his lightning Claw w/bolter was a gift from the Wolf Lord, commisioned to honor the great accomplishments the Wolf Priest had done for the Chapter's honors over the years.)
As you can see the description states everything about the character, and the wargear as well as justifying WHY he has the gear that he has. Remember the more detail and effort you put into something the more it will be seen favorably by the RP gods.
Also notice the classes are Tactical, Assault, Devestator, Techmarine, Apothecary, and Librarian. There is no Chaplain (sorry following the book) and none of those are Terminators either. Regular marines, the lot of them. Arm accordingly, outrageous requests will be laughed at.

Lan straightens as you step onto the riveted metal platform, pulling his cloak tighter about him.
"Thank you for seeing me. I would offer you a seat or a draft of amasec, but I find myself a bit ah - short staffed at the moment. Not to question your hospitality of course." A salvo of melta charges booms behind him, momentarily illuminating the snow field. The Rogue Trader begins to pace.
"My humblest apologies if you have already heard something of our plight. I will be frank with you. The Lord Militant believes that some kind of alien creature has descended upon Aurum. I'm sure venerable warriors such as yourselves will be more than a match for it. However, the truth that the Crusade needs your help in another matter on that planet - possibly one that only you can address. Aurum is a valuable world, and its people did not turn to dark powers during the Age of Shadow."
"However they have proved remarkably resistant to negotiation. Their leader, a devil of a warrior who calls himself Rylus Darkscourge, won't permit any sizable Imperial detachments to land, nor will he allow our people to stray beyond their capital city. Some over-zealous prospectors tried to stray beyond these edicts once, and their deaths nearly shattered our fragile peace. The Auruns are a proud people and the truth is I think they're not impressed by us. We could pacify the world, but the last thing we need is one more population held by force instead of faith." Behind him, the black outlines of the drilling Kill-team appear like shadows in the man-made blizzard. He watches their perfectly coordinated movements for a moment before turning back. "You may find this ironic, but the Adeptus Astartes might be our last chance for peace on Aurun."

he turn his attention to the rogue trader. "Let us deal with the xeno first, then we shall deal with the population, what is the creature last know location and what intel can you give us about the xeno?

"The last murder was Sister Rachayel, a member of the Adeptus Soriritas, a Hospitaller." Lan goes on to say. "Her body was found in the Mission, with her own dagger through her chest. The locals were eager to call it a suicide due to a weak spirit. She may not have been a Sister of Battle, but no loyal member of her order would throw away her life. And the others, it is hard to be certain of the number as the Auruns seem to be concealing them from us. The few bodies we've seen were meticulously stripped of everything: flesh, skin, blood. Some had deep grooves in the ribcage and arms, as though something had cleaved through to the bone itself."
