Hey all. I've finally gotten to the point where I can once again contribute on a regular basis, and I thought I'd kick things off with something a bit different. This is a basic outline of a Dark Heresy/Necromunda-type roleplay set in the Cancridrean Periphery.

Premise:

The year is 657.M40, and on fringes of the Ultima Segmentum a political upset within the boundaries of the backwater Cancridrean Periphery now has the entire Sector teetering on the brink of civil war. Though normally such an incident would be of little concern to the greater Imperium, word has reached the ears of the Holy Inquisition that this impending conflict may be more than just the result a petty aristocratic squabble, but rather a symptom of a conspiracy that would see the entire Periphery transformed into a fully-fledged successionist state. The Imperium of Man cannot afford a potential threat of that magnitude festering within the frontier, not while said frontier is already hemorrhaging under the twinned assaults of the Hadex Anomaly and the newly-discovered T'au Empire, and so steps are taken to ensure that such an outcome never occurs.

You are a specialist warband of the Inquisition's best and brightest, operatives sent undercover into the tangled maze that is Periphery's disparate factions with the goal of cutting out the beating heart of these insurgent machinations before they pupate into their final ruinous stages. But be warned: the choices you make and the actions you take will have a direct impact on the fate of the Sector...

Rules:


 * If you've played any of Imposter's RPs, you know the basic gist. No metagaming, keep your actions within the realm of plausibility, and please, don't ruin anyone else's fun.


 * Please submit characters with brief bios, wargear lists, etc. Again, if you've played any of the other RPs, you probably know the drill by now.


 * Prerequisites for characters are as follows: no Space Marines, no Xenos, no full-blown Inquisitors (though Inquisitorial Acolytes/Interrogators are acceptable). This is a mission that calls for a great deal of subtlety at times, so think operative types; assassins, infiltrators, spies, that sort of thing, and by all means get creative.


 * In the event of PVP, we will be utilizing an online dice roller to determine outcomes based on player actions. That being said, it is preferable if you don't immediately start gunning down your companions over slights.

Before you ask, you do not actually need to be acquainted and/or have read the Periphery article or any of the affiliated articles to participate in the RP. Basic information will be relayed throughout the narrative, and there will be a mechanic in which you can access bits of Sector lore should the need for extra info arise.

If you have any other questions, please post them here or on my Talk page.
