Sivo Sigma-3177

[Vulre Oakenlimb]

Character name: Sivo Sigma-3177

Character source: Warhammer 40,000/Original

Character history: Born to a family of menials on the Forge World of Kazzark 5, a world of cliffs and canyons, covered in foundries. Perhaps it had been beautiful, once, before the Adeptus Mechanicus, the august and venerable machine cult that oversees all industry in the galaxy-spanning Imperium, saw its potential as a manufacturing base. He was raised in the shadows of the sacred factories and forges, constantly surrounded by the endless grinding, whirring, clicking, clacking, crunching, and the occasional scream as a careless worker was caught in the machinery. Still, life went on as he frolicked in the few non-toxic pools of run-off with the other children. As he aged, he displayed the cunning mind and mental acuity sought after by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and was quickly brought into their ranks as an acolyte. For 16 years of his life, he tended to the blessed machines within the planet-wide industrial complex, appeasing the machine spirits with sacred oils, prayer, incense, and every so often, technical knowledge. The machines under his care displayed a .5% increase in efficiency, which quickly advanced him to the rank of Enginseer, the brave Mechanicus Emissaries that fight alongside the innumerable armies of the Imperial Guard, and tend to their sacred machines. 5 years of training later, Sivo set forth to join up with the Cadian regiments assigned to hold back the forces of Chaos swarming out from the Eye of terror. As the noble vessel Aquilline was midway through its journey, the Geller field, the thin skein of force that protects the vessel and its inhabitants from the infinite dangers of the Warp as they travel through it, shut down. As Daemons swarmed over the ship, hunting the thousands of souls aboard, Sivo prayed to the Omnissiah to end his existence before his very spirit was consumed by the Daemons. Fate, as always, is cruel, and he was snatched by Omni and delivered to the Omniverse.

Physical Description: (originals only)
Standing 1.9 meters tall, Sivo is heavily augmented, in accordance with the beliefs of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Very little of his flawed original body remains, replaced with the pure steel of the machine. He wields a standard Lascarbine, a short-stocked laser weapon that lends itself to being used one-handed. His blessed frame is further armed with Ferric Lures and Luminen Capacitors, granting him the ability to fire bursts of electricity, and magnetically influence the strikes of those who attack him.

Starting Proficiencies:
Ranged(1000OM), Area Attack(600OM), Area Shield (400OM)
Starting Powers:
Basic Regeneration (1300OM)
Starting Moves:
Sivo's Luminen capacitors grant him 2 bio-electric points.

Lascarbine (Requires Ranged Weapon Proficiency) -300 OM
A reliable laser-based weapon with an optimal range of 40 meters, the Las-Carbine can fire up to one round every 1.5 seconds. It specializes in consistent, reliable fire, as opposed to massive damage.

Luminen Blast (Requires Area Attack Proficiency) -600OM
A blast of electrical energy stemming from his internal bio-electricity reservoirs. The Luminen Blast has a range of 15 meters, and a blast radius of 1-4 meters (Determined by Sivo at time of attack). It takes 3 seconds to manifest, and uses up one bio-electric point. Uses without bio-electric points drain needed power, bringing him closer to unconsciousness.

Ferric Repulsion (Requires Area Shield Proficiency) -600 OM
A barely-visible sphere 2 meters in diameter surrounds Sivo, magnetically charging incoming projectiles and blades, before rapidly switching to the identical polarity, repelling enemy attacks. The effect is much akin to shooting or slashing through a moving current. It takes 6 seconds to manifest, and consumes 1 bio-electric point. It lasts for up to 30 seconds, which can be extended a further 30 seconds by consuming another bio-electric point. Uses without bio-electric points do not leave enough power to protect Sivo from the magnetic energies, damaging him.

200 OM remaining.
I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.

Lovely description on your character there. We do need a lot more description on your moves though. Notably: the rate of fire for your Lascarbine. The speed of your Luminen Blast (how long it takes to blast, any downsides or just a simple attack). And the same for your Ferric Repulsion.

[Vulre Oakenlimb]

Certainly. The Lascarbine has a relatively poor rate of fire, unable to fire more than two rounds in quick succession. It's primarily a backup weapon, kept for its ability to be maneuvered in tight conditions and its light weight.


The Luminen blast requires 3 seconds of concentrated effort and half of the current bioelectric reserves to activate. Excessive use results in exhaustion and tiredness, eventually culminating in unconsciousness. It has notably higher destructive potential than the Las-Carbine (About a 50% increase), and affects an area 8 meters in diameter.

Ferric Replusion takes 6 seconds of dedicated effort and prayer to manifest. While active, it defends against small-arms fire and melee attacks, but anything with enough momentum (Such as a heavy caliber bullet or a fast enough blade) can still land a damaging blow. The effect is akin to shooting or slashing through water, forcing attacks off of their intended path, and causing them to lose speed and direction.

Hopefully that helps.

If you could put the relevant details in your move descriptions in the style outlined here: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://omniverse-rpg.com/moves.php#Basic_Move_Examples">moves.php#Basic_Move_Examples</a><!-- l --> we'll approve them.

[Vulre Oakenlimb]

I have edited the original character sheet, updating the format and altering the needed information. I hope it meets your standards.

[Omni]

The first two moves look good, but Ferric Repulsion is a no-go as it stands. You can't have a permanent barrier against projectiles. You could have something like a toggle that continually drained energy.

[Vulre Oakenlimb]

Understood. I've also altered it so that he has a unified resource pool for these shenanigans, as it was getting rather silly to expend "Luminen Blast Charges" for every situation.

[Omni]

Looks good to me. You're approved and ready to begin role-playing. Make sure you read the next sticky in this joining forum before you do so. A mod should be along in the next day to give you your roster to post and set up your purchases log, so keep an eye out. Would you like your username to be Sivo Sigma-3177 or just Sivo?

[Vulre Oakenlimb]

Sivo's fine. Thanks for approving! I'll get writing as soon as I have the chance!

Make a roster in the Roster Forum, copy and paste the above and make that the first post of your roster. The second reply should contain all the core information of your character(Look at the profile of an active member to see what I'm talking about)

Here's a topic to help you along: What to Do Once You've Been Approved

Remember that your first post should be in the Nexus after you've been taken by Omni, and all future purchases should go here.

You're good to go! Enjoy the Omniverse!
