Tartaros - Guest - 05-10-2015
Character name: Tartaros
Character source: Warhammer 40k/Original
Character history: From a universe that centres around a war-torn galaxy by countless factions, Tartaros was born on a desert-like world that is but a long-gone memory to himself. He was one of the many show-fighters of the pits as a young man. Eventually however, he was conscripted into the militia of one of the many lords who ruled over the cities in order to quell a civilian uprising. Displaying great feats of cunning of strength, he was brought to the notice of the minute garrison of Luna Wolves stationed on the world. In the passing and struggle of trial after trial, Tartaros was finally granted the honour of being inducted into the posthuman Adeptus Astartes.
Leaving the world, he fought throughout the earliest parts of the Great Crusade, participating in the conquering of Cthonia, where the legion's primarch, Horus Lupercal, awaited them. The victory at Cthonia was great indeed, raising the spirits of the legion immensely and driving them to great deeds, conquering great swathes of the galaxy in the name of the new Imperium of Man, ruled by the Emperor of Mankind.
Eventually, after almost three-hundred years of conquering world after world, system after system, Horus was almost struck down by a blow from a traitorous friend. The primarch was, under the advice of Erebus, sent to be "healed" by a group of natives known as a Serpent Lodge.
When Horus came back, he was... changed, he acted strangely, communicating with several other primarchs, many a regimental general, and even the Fabricator-General of the Mechanicus himself, Kelbor Hal. His next military course of action was to move with several legions: his own Luna Wolves, by now redubbed the Sons of Horus, the Death Guard, Emperor's Children and World Eaters, to the world of Isstvan III, seemingly to quell an uprising. Though Horus had a different plan, one he came up with after his "healing" by the Serpent Lodge, to destroy the most loyal elements of the legions and eventually destroy the Imperium itself, reshaping it in a way he envisioned.
Horus, now corrupted by the dark gods that the Serpent Lodge and Erebus himself worshiped, ordered the events that would later become known as the Virus-Bombing of Isstvan III and Battle of Isstvan III, a complete massacre of any loyalist elements of the legions he turned to his side. There were less than a hundred survivors of that fateful attack, stowed away on the frigate known as the Einstein, at the closing end of the battle. Amongst these fateful, or perhaps cursed few, was the now-veteran Tartaros.
After providing testimonial of Horus' betrayal on Terra, Tartaros was assigned to a position in the newly-formed Inquisition along with a majority of the survivors of the Isstvan III massacre, though this position has been long since forgotten by himself and the Imperium at large.
Through the years after, Tartaros fought tooth-and-nail, though after the result of the Horus Heresy, the Imperium... changed, at least in his eyes... the loyalist primarchs started dying one-by-one, and an odd air of fanaticism started to take hold of the Imperium, cults dedicated to the former glory of the now near-death Emperor began to spring up, some even taking hold of parts of the Imperium. The final straw came with the creation of the "Ecclesiarchy", an organisation that seemingly went against all the old Imperium stood for, seemingly... Tartaros finally snapped, and in a fit of anger, almost killed several members of the new Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy, fleeing the Imperium out into the reaches of the galaxy.
For many millennium afterward, he has wandered through the material realm, and on occasion even the dreaded Immaterium, fought with and against forces of the Imperium, xenos and traitors alike, almost ten thousand years after his leave from the Imperium, he was yet against set upon by the dangers that plague that galaxy, a massive traitor warband. In the thick of combat, he disappeared, with a flashing and violent light...
(apologies if this was somewhat... wordy, I have a tendency to over-elaborate on some things)
Physical Description: Tartaros is rather large and as bulky as any other Astartes, standing a few inches shy of eight feet tall when armoured. His body is covered throughout with scars and other marks, as well as specks of dirt and muck. His hair and unkempt facial hair are rather thick, if very short, and obviously graying.
His powered armour is rather obviously scavenged, though it still bears the traditional Luna Wolves scheme of dark grey and red, the materials bear the mark of various slapdash replacements and high levels of damage along all parts of it, some areas of the arms, pauldrons and torso are even torn open or missing altogether. The helmet in particular is a mark 4 "Maximus" pattern, though the normally recognizable respirator is almost impossible to notice under the plethora of bullet holes and slashes, even the left eyepiece seems to be utterly broken.

Starting Moves:
Chainsword /w Exterminator Cartridge (600 OM, requires Physical Proficiency and Ranged Proficiency)
A somewhat poorly maintained weapon, its scavenged nature is apparent. Along one of its two sides is an affixed set of intimidating, sharp and bone-like teeth, ready to begin tearing foes at the push of a trigger. Attached to the blades basket guard is a small Exterminator Cartridge, a flamer-like device ready to spit forth a torrent of flame with a single motion by the wielder. The cartridge is heavily limited, with a very short range and inability to store more than a shots worth of promethium at a time.
Tigrus-Pattern Bolter (300 OM, requires Ranged Proficiency)
An old semi-automatic rifle design of Tartaros' universe, firing roughly 2 rounds each second, utilized to effectively penetrate armour and blow through tough targets, in the right hands it can be very intimidating indeed. Somewhat heavy and very sturdy indeed, its recoil is considerable, though ultimately manageable by most strong humans. Tartaros, accustomed to assaults, tends to fire ranged weapons while moving, at least in close-quarters, ultimately sacrificing a level of accuracy while keeping mobility. There is one near-fatal flaw for the bolter however, and that is that the production of ammunition for it is rather difficult, with even the most elite of warriors only having a few magazines worth of rounds.
I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.
Note - I was introduced to this forum by the player of Sivo Sigma-3177 and Okor.

Hi there Welcome to the Omniverse!
I like your history!
Your mostly good but for your last move Primes can summon almost limitless amounts of bullets,(which takes about 3 minutes to summon) so it really isn't a caveat. You might want to add another downside to keep the move balanced.

Alright then, and thank you!
As I'm using a guest account I'll have to post a modded version here for now

Tartaros, accustomed to assaults, tends to fire ranged weapons while moving, at least in close-quarters, ultimately sacrificing a level of accuracy while keeping mobility. Due to this weapon's ancient nature and numerous, almost schizophrenic ways it has been repaired over the years, it has a tendency to jam often in the absence of frequent maintenance.
