Warhammer 40,000: APOSTATE PROTOCOL

[Raptorian]

​

---

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.

You are one amongst untold billions, living in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.

HIVE WORLD LORIC XVII - HIVE PROMETHEAN
​

Within the depths of Loric Seventeen, hundreds of millions slave away under the judicial eye of the Adeptus Arbites- the massive arm of the Emperor's Law. Citizens have no rights, and only members of the Priesthood of Terra or the Inquisition could claim anything so elaborate as a trial. Within a wafer-thin slab of space between the deepest pits and the lowest level of civilized society of Hive Promethean, a concoction of authoritarian and gang violence dominates those unlucky thousands that toil away. The term coined for this profane sliver is "Hab-Zone Apocrypha."

Within Hive Promethean, if you are not owned by something, then you have no protection. Hundreds sign their lives away to the Imperial Guard for a chance of a better life, and thousands more seek enlistment with the innumerable gangs and thugs that cling to the belly of the city like tumors.

---

INTERVENTION
​

Luckily, you are no mere Citizen. You are one of the few lucky (or perhaps cursed) chosen for a special mission at the behest of the Ordo Hereticus, one of the three major orders of the Inquisition. They are tasked with the elimination of those who have turned away from the Emperor's light. And today, you are their scalpel. For months now, the Adeptus Arbites have followed leads from an anonymous informer in an attempt to track down the budding threat of Chaos. What was once a series of paranoid murmurs is now a verifiable threat. According to the Adeptus Arbites, a small but capable force of heretics has taken root within Hab-Zone Apocrypha. This would be a simple matter, however the disappearance of a local noble has forced the hand of the enforcers of the law, and now the matter has landed within the capable of the Ordo Hereticus.

You have been selected, seemingly at random, to enter Hive City Promethean and eliminate the threat by any means necessary. You must navigate the powers that be, between local nobility, the Adeptus Arbites, gangs, and your Inquisitor Overlords in order to succeed. At every step, there will be deception- Misdirection by the forces of chaos and ambitious fools. However you must be decisive, fast, and effective. For if even a single seed of chaos slips through your grasp, it may grow to incomprehensible magnitudes.

Navigate the Underhive, root out Chaos, and deliver justice at any cost.

COMM LOGS INQUIRING REASSIGNMENT
BETWEEN LT. COLLIER, & ANONYMOUS ORDO HERETICUS AGENT
​

LT.COLLIER: This is quite the odd request. I shall not question your reasoning for such a request. But, I must ask, why Cpl. Ferrick of all people?

O.HERETUS: I thought you said you weren't going to ask?
O.HERETUS: Cpl. Ferrick is required on a different assignment. That is all you need to know, Lieutenant.

LT.COLLIER: Cpl. Ferrick isn't exactly special, not only that, he's a squad lead in one of the platoons. This will surely cause unit cohesion damage.

O.HERETUS: Do not question my motives, or you will find your life to be a lot more difficult.

LT.COLLIER: Understood. I will have him on the next Valkyrie out. The Emperor Protects.

Sister Lúcia Valeria

A Battle Sister of the Order of the Argent Shroud...​

Born into poverty on the desolate Hive World of Gathara Prime, Lucia grew up witnessing firsthand the bleak reality of life under the Emperor’s rule. Her family, devout yet downtrodden, clung to the Emperor's teachings as their only sanctuary. Tragically, her family was murdered during a Chaos cult uprising when she was a young girl, which left her with a fierce hatred for all who would defy the Emperor’s light, heretics and abominations alike.
An orphan, she was taken in by the Order of the Argent Shroud, who saw in her a spark of determination and unyielding faith.

The Order of the Argent Shroud is known for its preference for silence and for letting actions speak louder than words. From her training years onward, Lucia embodied these principles, earning a reputation among her Sisters for her stoicism. Her childhood in the hive world has made her adept at navigating treacherous environments and dealing with the maze of streets, giving her a skill set well-suited to rooting out heresy in places where corruption breeds.

A resolute, single-minded, and intense in her faith. While she lacks the overt zeal of some of her Sisters, she makes up for it with an unbreakable, quiet commitment to the Emperor’s will. Her manner is intense yet restrained, often speaking only when necessary. She prefers action to words and has little tolerance for those who show any hint of weakness or wavering loyalty to the Emperor. Her loyalty to her mission and the Emperor is absolute, leaving her cold and uncompromising in her pursuit of heretics.

Though she follows orders without hesitation, she is not naive. She has witnessed corruption not just among the masses but even within the powerful and influential. Lucia is cautious, mindful of betrayal, and constantly vigilant against manipulatio, mindset that will serve her well amidst the complex and treacherous environment of Hive Promethean.

Lucia’s hatred for heresy runs deep. She views her duty as a divine mandate to destroy any trace of corruption before it can fester. Her family’s death at the hands of Chaos cultists has fueled a lifetime of anger and resolve, and she believes that to falter in her mission is to betray both the Emperor and the memory of her family. She is committed to purging heretics with merciless precision and believes there is no such thing as redemption for those who stray from the Emperor’s light.​

- The Guardsman -



+++THE EMPEROR PROTECTS+++

"From the industrial world Branx Magna. I remember not having a fond childhood there. Nothing but gases and polluted waters. Metal sheets laying against each other as a home. Eating nothing but grimy leeches. Would be my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Long waited to conscript, to get away from this. For something better - 'Anything else would be better than this!', I told myself.

Me and the others lads would listen to stories about the Moebian regiments when we were just recruits. The 39th, the 54th, or even the infamous 13th regiment. Renowned for their sharpshooting skills. Long dreamed about joining them. Thought to myself I could be the best sharpshooter there is. Win a medal or something.

Ah, what a dumb bastard I was. Now I'm far away from home, don't really miss it but I don't know how to feel. Just not what I expected I suppose! ... I think I prefer the sump leeches to these rations they give us..."

LEONA CYRENE
SANCTIONED PSYKER OF THE IMPERIUM​

---

General information​	Interrogation​
​

---

Nature and powers:

Leona is a sanctioned Psyker who has completed her first run through the Psykana 'educational' facilities. Disciplined in matters of Biomancy even before ever stepping into the catacombs of the imperium's most harsh and heartless masters, Leona is a psyker of considerably potent talent and power. Measured at ZETA, she is able to readily control her powers, of which, contain numerous methods of altering the physiology of living things - herself included.

As with all Psykers, this is not without risk at every step.

Leona is a psyker who's power isolates her mind from the shores of normalcy. Within her head, deep inside her very essence, her soul drifts through the black void of the unknowable on her own mangled body. Formed and shaped in this endless abyss to ward off the viscous waves of the immaterium from swallowing her soul entirely. Surrounded, encased and flickering between visions of what she calls 'The Humming Pitch' she is an extremely quiet and docile personality outside of conflict or duress. Thoughts often trailing away on those very same waters, having to be wrestled back from the deep, otherwise being lost forever. As a result, she can be forgetful, losing little fragments of her mind as it drifts out of reach. Even long term memories can be lost in the muck of the immaterial.

In battle or under stress, Leona is an entirely different entity. With the use of her powers, as varied as they are potent. She can boil the blood in a foes heart at a whim. Summon from her own vessel ethereal strands of nerve tissue which enwrap foes and delivers onto them enough electrical energy to make an enginseer envious. Or unzip their flesh at a great range, with naught more than a gesture.

Despite her potency, her effectiveness is limited by the madness her craft inspires. The only colors in her mind are crimson and a unknowable nothingness, whos darkness embeds the most tantalizing shine to the only material that gives vibrancy to her tired eyes - blood. The burning, maroon light of which pushes the abyss from her senses, replacing discomfort and confusion with a blissful serenity. One that tempts just one more drop...and just another beyond that. Endlessly, until a mind loses itself in the craft of seeking eternal peace, at the increasing cost of all which lives about her.

As such, she is a tool best used in moderation. Even should her bloodlust be contained, every engagement of her warpcraft churns the Humming Pitch about her, lapping onto the skeletal raft and whispering its own temptations. Desperately easing her into a final, eternal dive. Unknown entities - even to her - eagerly biding their unborn time.

Her powers leech her own physical condition overtime. As well as the condition of others should she choose - and they be unable to resist. Blood, in many respects, is both her fuel and anchor...and something much darker should she drown her senses with it.
​

Spoiler: Intentions with Roleplay

1. I intend for Leona to be considerably powerful, able to cleave through the world using violence with ease. However, I want this ease to be countered by her considerable instability.
2. Ideally, as she uses her powers, she has two options. One, is to simply expend her own life essence in the effort, reducing her health. Should this not be an option...or simply not desirable, she is intended to have the ability to painfully volunteer others for the task. Even without permission.
3. Intend to make her something you have a reason to be afraid of as a blunt (or normal person as they are sometimes called.) Extremely useful, and even kind when not roused. But intensely dangerous to not only herself, but all life around her when called to action...allies included. As a result, she likely will not be the groups first idea for any problem, for their own sake.

The priest nods his head as he departs, but a moment of apprehension crosses his face, for it is not often seen that one seeks to review the records of the Orders Militant. Even with the clacking of his shoes across the ancient tiles, Servo-skulls remain with burning incense silently observing you with the soft whirring sounds of their internal circuits. They serve a dual purpose: fulfilling the machine spirits' needs and monitoring you. Whether you like it or not, you are an outsider here; they want you to know that.

You aren't exactly sure why you're doing this, but you were told to dig deeper. You don't quite recall how you got this data interrogator.
But you know you wish to go deeper, the man you met before told you to. Time is running low, the Servo-skulls are agitated as a few fly away, seeking to alert the priests that their precious data is compromised, no matter, you'll find what you want, right? You hear the data cogitator groan as it bypasses its own security, and that Inquisitorial Seal disappears and allows you to dig just a bit deeper.

UPON THE ACTIONS OF SISTER SABANZ AND THE EVENTS OF CORTOSA III A report issued by Confessor Emil Amomian and Co-Signed by Palatine Praxea Catane​ Sister Aspien Sabanz has failed to uphold her duties in the face of the Great Enemy, though she did not commit a grave heresy, she still showed temptation and did not uphold the values expected of those serving as one of the Emperor's servants. She is charged with Disobedience and Temptation. Events are first-hand accounts gathered and compiled by Palatine Praxea Catane at the request of Confessor Emil Amomian ​ As the Great Enemy's arrival was foreseen by the adepts of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, forces of Cortosa III were ordered to prepare defenses, as it was known that the force coming would easily overtake an under-prepared force. Reinforcements for the planetary garrison were found in the forces of Order of the Argent Shroud and an Adeptus Astartes crusade of the Black Templars. The Order's forces prepared themselves for Hit-and-Run tactics as ordered by Canoness Carmina. Approximately two weeks after arrival in system, the forces of the Ruinous Powers made landfall, headed by hordes of their Plague Lord. Despite determined assaults by the Ruinous forces, they failed to shatter the lines of His most glorious servants, there are no concerns noted by Sister Sabanz's comrades at this time, as she kept to her hymns of battle. Issues arise in her conduct during the final phases of battle. Sister Sabanz was part of the overall offensive which was succeeding in pressuring the Ruinous forces off of the planet, however, the battle took place on previous training fields, and had still held a number of cadets training when the invasion began. All were assumed extracted or lost, but a handful were found in the midst of battle. Due to the risk of corruption, it was the opinion of Brother-Sergeant Santinus Sicane that the cadets should be purged. Sister Sabanz protested, it should be noted that her sisters had previously prayed with her over the corpses of lost cadets found a few hours previously, and that Sister Sabanz had been purposely positioning alongside these cadets during the conflict against the Ruinous forces. One of her sisters claims she heard Sister Sabanz mutter about Lord Santinus' mutant status, which she believes led to the Astartes becoming choleric. Before the confrontation could continue, the final phase of the battle began. With defeat seeming inevitable for the Ruinous forces, they suddenly decided to attempt one last assault. Many warbands of heretics descended upon the line of battle, causing tragic disorder in the ranks of all Imperial forces present. Due to the disorder, the Astartes and Sororitas present were forced to fight alongside the cadets for survival. In the chaos, the fighting evolved into a melee, where it is noted that Sister Sabanz purposefully kept herself alongside the cadets to prevent them from being overwhelmed. Questions as to her purity were initially raised here. For recordkeeping purposes, Palatine Praxea has demanded it is noted that Sister Sabanz has never shown anything beyond pure devotion to the God-Emperor and her duty and that Sister Sabanz herself denies the next accusation levied against her. After being felled by one of the Astartes present, it is noted that a heretical sword fell near the sister. A large number of heretical forces then began their advance on the position being held. Orders to withdraw were prepared by Palatine Praxea, such was demanded by Lord Santinus so that order could be regained in the face of the enemy. However, the enemy renewed their advance and swarmed the position held. It is at this point that some of Sister Sabanz's sisters claim that she took up the heretic's blade. Two sisters claim to have seen this in action, with all others present claiming they were preoccupied and are unable to verify either claim. The Astartes declined viewing Sister Sabanz, having also been preoccupied with fighting, though Lord Santinus noted that he could believe it was possible. Sister Sabanz was noted as fighting with renewed fervor when met with the new waves of heretics and claims that her performance was fueled by faith and fury and that the heretic's blade never entered her hand. Either way, the position could not be held. The cadets who had prompted Sabanz's defiance were slain by the enemy, and are noted as having regained their purity through martyrdom. On departure, other sisters noted they still saw the heretic's blade left behind, though most of them believe it was odd it was not buried by corpses. The enemy was routed soon after and the present Confessor Emil Amomian issued his concerns to Palatine Praxea once it was confirmed that the Great Enemy had withdrawn from the system.​ REPORT PENDING REVIEW REPORT RESOLVED​

=][= REQUISITION ORDER =][=​ To the Esteemed Canoness Carmina, ​ It is with pressing concerns that the Inquisition formally requisitions Sister Aspien Sabanz for immediate transfer into our ranks. Please consider this communication not as a request, but as a directive for which your compliance is to be expected. The needs of the Imperium are paramount, even if they happen to disrupt your standard practices. Recent reports have been brought to our attention suggesting that Sister Sabanz may have experienced temptations from the Great Enemy. While such may be seen as a vulnerability and unbecoming of a Sister of the Argent Shroud, it is imperative that these accusations are addressed with the seriousness they warrant. The Inquisition recognizes the fine line between compassion and fragility, and it is our duty to ensure that any potential threats - particularly those perceived from within - are swiftly contained. Sister Sabanz's commendable qualities, including her exceptional combat performance, powerful faith, and curious propensity for compassion have been noted. However, we believe that the unique challenges that are faced within our service may provide her with the necessary perspective to strengthen her resolve against such insidious influences. It is crucial that she is placed in an environment where her faith and character will be tested and fortified. The Imperium is rife with threats, and the Ruinous Powers grow bolder by the day. The Inquisition's duty for her is to assist in rooting out one of these dangers, and Sister Sabanz's talents will be invaluable in this mission. While the Order of the Argent Shroud may prefer to maintain her under their tutelage, we emphasize that the priorities of the Imperium supersede the desires of any singular Order - no matter how vaunted and stoic their members may be. Please ensure that Sister Sabanz is prepared to report to our service at the earliest possible opportunity. One of our agents will collect her after this missive is delivered. Understand that any delays in compliance will not reflect favorably upon the daughters of Saint Silvana, and we wouldn't want to tarnish the esteemed reputation of your Order, would we? For the Emperor's Glory, The God-Emperor's Most Holy Inquisition, Ordo Hereticus

A small audio byte is found at the end of the file, seemingly a recorded complaint to the Inquisition's orders. ​ A woman's voice is heard, servos whirring as presumably they gesture as they speak: "How dare they? They may be the God-Emperor's Agents, but this is going beyond that which should be acceptable! She should be placed as a Sister Repentia, not given away to some mystery mission. There are a dozen other sisters under our command who could fulfill the service they demand, and they aren't suspected of heresy, and certainly don't have a confirmed conflict with Astartes! They dare to lecture me on the reputation of our order, this is unacceptable! I'm issuing a complaint to the Prioress, we'll see if they're so confident then."

As the raving ends, you look around. You feel like you missed something perhaps, but the rush of boots on those ancient tiles warns you that you've run out of time. The rational part of your mind demands that you stand and face your judgment, but you are forced to ignore it. You take hold of that strange data interrogator and begin to jog away. An unseen force guides you down a row of cogitators, and from there, to a fate unknown. A small pawn in a scheme, perhaps one that comes to fruition, or perhaps one to be entirely forgotten. Those who create such schemes are fickle, after all.

Spoiler: Side note for Event Runners

I know how I set up this character to be open to certain actions, if you don't want that then I can easily downplay it. Otherwise, feel free to DM me if there are any questions or concerns regarding the character and her actions. Making this after I read it through again since I felt it might be important to make it known that I am open to DMs and discussion.
