[Okay guys, sorry I'm a bit late, I got a bit hung up at work. For the record, brackets are GM speak! Let me establish the ground rules for this quest thread, since we managed to discuss character creation last time and not how the game is played.

Whenever a player decision must be done, it will be decided by rolling 1d100. Also, I will state a number, which I call a "Number Mode". This Number Mode will determine the amount of 'suggestion' posts valid for the future decision that will be made.

So for example, a decision has a "Number Mode 6". Those who want to suggest a course of action roll the d100, but only the first six posts are valid for consideration.

The Number Mode will be set by me in consideration of two factors: 1. the speed at which Joachim has to make the decision, and 2. the thread's speed.

To prevent samefagging, when it comes to similar suggestions, only the first suggestion's roll will be taken into consideration. It will, however, count towards the Number Mode tally.

I hope I'm not confusing anybody with this? Cause if I ain't, it's time to get this show on the road. But if you have any questions, shoot 'em before we begin.]

Carillion is the first planet, outside of your own, that you have ever set foot on. Pure white snow crunches beneath your combat boots as you walk around the frozen landscape, your breath visible in front of you.

Aren't you glad you brought the scarf your grandmother made for you?

Still, the landscape which under other circumstances would have proven to be a relaxing, peaceful winter wonderland was anything but.

The corpses of many of those who would have been your companions and comrades in the 2nd Stella Platina Autonomous Regiment, popularly known by your people as the「Battlers」, laid crumpled and distorted upon the endless white, their blood and guts painting the ground crimson.

The grisly visage made you a little sick in your stomach, and you felt immense sorrow for the fallen, but your orders were to do some reconnaissance of this sector of what was once a battlefield, and you were going to carry your orders to the letter.

They had definitely been caught by surprise, by the looks of it, and had paid dearly for it. As you approach the corpse of yet another Guardsman, indistinguishable from the rest, something catches your eye.

There was an axe...no...a 「Choppa」sticking out from his carcass.

With a heavy grunt, you pull out the Choppa from the unfortunate Guardsman's body. The metal is covered by frost and, quite logically, by frozen blood along its edge as well.

The so-called Choppa is quite heavy, and you can understand how such primitive weapon could end a Guardsman's life easily by the brunt of its weight alone.

*Obtained 「Choppa」*

>>27576493

As you take the Choppa into your possession, you take a few moments to make mental notes about what you are currently carrying with you. Your equipment is quite standard for a Guardsman on the most part: your Lasrifle is slung over your shoulder, a Laspistol rests firmly within a holster on your back, you carry two frag grenades on the left side of your belt. You also have a canteen on you.

Your helmet is standard-issue for Battler Guardsmen, and contains a small Vox Relay (of course, your 'modifications' to said helmet are anything BUT Standard Issue). Your Flak Jacket, alongside your long scarf, keep you warm.

The most peculiar thing you are carrying by far is the 「Heart-Shaped Pendant」 your Grandmother insisted you took and always had with you. "This pendant", she said, "has always been carried by the firstborns of our family, JoJo. It will protect you from whatever you find out there, and if you have it with you, I know I won't lose you too."

As far as you can see, there is nothing else of interest in this area. There seems to be no signs of either survivors nor further evidence.

So, knowing that, you decide to call in to your squad's sergeant, a man of impressive stature and reliable strength called Dominic Bluemarine, and report your findings.

"So far, it's corpses as far as the eye can see...and on one of the corpses, I found what appears to be an Ork Choppa.", you report.

"Well, that just confirms that this was indeed the result of an Ork attack.", replies Bluemarine. "We should probably regroup with the rest of the Imperial forces. There are a few Chimeras waiting at the rendezvous point. I'll report back to the CO. It'd be best if you started your way here, though."

Nodding to nobody in particular, you take one last look of the wasteland of death and wanton destruction behind you, before you start traveling towards the rendezvous point.

Rolled 99

>>27577286

Exposit a bit as you trek. The lonely wastes do little for the mind's health; talking to yourself might take a bit of the edge off.

[I wouldn't normally take into consideration a roll made for a non-decision situation, but DAT 99]

As you leave, you salute your fallen comrades in the only way you know: by striking one of the many traditional salutes of your people.

May they live forever at the side of the immortal Emperor.

Once you are finished, you commence your trek proper. As you travel the white wastes, you think back on your days in your planet of Stella Platina, and how it was to grow up in such a place.

There, group of small, lowborn children bullied the "weak" individuals. Often, you would get into fights because you could not stand for this...and while this did get you a bloody nose more than once, it also made those children respect you dearly. Thanks to your positive influence in their lives (although you would never claim such credit, they do insist this is the case), many of them are fine Imperial citizens today. Several even came to bid you farewell as you boarded the Imperial Navy shuttle towards your new future.

A smile creeps on your lips. You knew that most of the Guardsmen, once they leave their planet, can never return, but you are not most Guardsmen. By the Emperor, would see Stella Platina again.

When you arrive at the rendezvous point, you see several Guardsman chatting as well as others running around, doing different errands and whatnot. You could distinguish that one was helping a Techpriest which was dealing with some maintenance on the Chimera transports.

As you approach a group of fellow Guardsmen in search of your squad proper, someone catches your eye (and you catch theirs).

A man you've never seen before with a large, ornate hat wearing a heavy longcoat glares as you, his gaze so hot you could swear he was trying to set you on fire just by looking at you. Near him stands a much darker-skinned individual...from the looks of the few tubes jutting out from his head, and the bird-tipped staff he carries, you conclude you are looking at both a 「Commisar」and a 「Psyker」.

And by the looks of it, you've drawn the Comissar's attention. He prances towards you, like a predator stalking prey, and stands face to face with you.

"GUARDSMAN!!" he shouts, loud enough for half the encampment to see. "WHAT IS IT WITH YOUR DRESS CODE VIOLATIONS!? I SHOULD HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS!!" His roar would make lions jealous, but you're made of sterner stuff than this. You are not intimidated by this officer, although you do respect his position as a servant of the Emperor.

"Lord Commissar, sir!" you reply as you take a pose. "This was a gift from my grandmother, hand-sewn to keep me warm in this cold planet while I brought the light of the Emperor to its lands! Additionally, these sigils on my helmet are traditional to my people! However, if the will of the Emperor is such that I should not wear this item, then you only need ask, Commissar!"

"Hah!" retorts the Commissar. "Yes, I won't have your head for this, Guardsman. Also, keep the gaudy cloth. That way I can make you use of a buffoon like you. You're perfect for drawing enemy fire away from the useful troopers!" his scorn and disdain were clear as crystal. "I've heard of you, Joestar. I'll be behind your squad, so you better show me some grandiose shooting lest I deem it necessary to subject you to the Emperor's deliverance next time we meet!" With that, the Commissar walks away, probably to demean yet another Guardsman.

What a rude fellow. You had heard things of Commissars before, but never really thought any of them true. Now though...the tales might have some truth to them.

You notice the Psyker is staring at you intently. You have never met a Psyker personally before, but you know other Guardsmen are scared of them. Perhaps you should go talk to him?

You feel a jolt pass through him and you, as if you two were a sort of conduit. A sensation that bizarre surprises you, but you soon come to accept it.

In your vision, you see a bird of fire standing besides Rahman, and...for a second, Rahman isn't there, and is replaced with another man that looks familiar, but not quite...

As soon as it came, this mirage is gone, and there is Rahman, smile still in his face, but his eyes seemingly perplexed.

"In any case..you are Joachim Joestar, right? I'm sure that despite what Commissar Hayes thinks, you'll prove to be a fine Guardsman."

"Well, big guy, we could FINALLY get our asses in the Chimeras now that the Techpriests have finished working on them."

The voice that comes from behind you is all too familiar.

"Mercuria!" you call out.

"That's my name, don't dull it. So I heard all about how you met our friendly neighborhood Commissar?"

"For a servant of the Emperor, he is rather crass."

"I get you. I also see you met a Psyker?" Mercuria walks towards Rahman and pats his shoulder, surprising the Psyker. "Name's Mercuria Costello and I know how this guy likes to pick up strays like you and me. Welcome to the club, buddy."

After an exchange of introduction formalities, your little party boards one of the Chimeras, alongside several other Guardsman, who warily eye the Psyker, the ex-con, and the weirdo with the huge scarf.

You are sitting onboard a Chimera in transit. Mercuria and Rahman are both sitting next to you. What do you do?

Mercuria Costello is far from being the ideal Guardswoman. In fact, the only reason she became a combatant was because she was given a choice of whether to join the PDF or be shipped to a Penal World for minor heresy she swears she didn't commit. While Mercuria has always been one to 'raise hell', as she says, I am inclined to believe her when she says she's innocent. She is probably the most honest person I know.

Back in our PDF days, she was distant from everybody, and seemed to particularly dislike me. She is, after all, a woman from the slums, and I am one who had received everything in my life from a 'silver platter'. We, however, became inseparable friends with time, as she became aware that I was not defined by my heritage, but rather, by my own actions.

The fact that she decided to volunteer for the Planetary Tithe when she heard I was going to join the Imperial Guard also leads me to believe she is the most loyal person I've ever met, too.

"JoJo, you're the one that makes the PDF fun, and I have to serve whether I want it or not. So I'd say it's better for me to tail you to wherever in the Emperor's name you're going to go from here, as the PDF will become mind-numbingly boring once you're gone."

That's Mercuria for you.

You notice the Guardsmen outside of your two friends are extremely nervous and apprehensive.

You decide to open your mouth to speak, but...

At that moment, a piercing cry breaks through the silence. "ROKKITS!!!"

An impact. The Chimera is tumbling. A piece of metal hits your helmet. You black out. However, your strong body recovers quickly, and you reopen your eyes in less than five minutes.

And when you open them, you see...

When you open your eyes, all you see is pure gold. No objects, no anything..it was as if someone had covered your eyes with paint.

Only.
Pure.
Gold.

And then, you see something getting closer. A silhouette. It towers above you as you lay flat on your back.

"Joachim Joestar." It speaks.

"This is a message from me to you, using my power of 「Guiding Light」."

Is this...

"Listen carefully, Joachim. Yours is a different mission than the rest of my Guardsmen.

...MY Guardsmen?

"I need you to get to go to the 「Bohemia Tower」that is located in this planet. Once you reach the top, I will contact you again."

The Emperor? Is this a trick from Chaos?!

"I can send you this message because your power, similar to my 「Guiding Light」, is about to awaken, but that's all this is. A recording. We will speak proper once you reach the tower."

"And one last thing" the silhouette says. "Awaken your power fully by cutting yourself with your 「Pendant」. Awaken your soul, and your 「Destiny」!"

With those words, the world fades to white....and then your vision focuses once again.

You lay inside the wreck of a Chimera. The sound of Las-weapons reach your ears. What do you do?

You hear an oncoming roar.

"WAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

As if driven by that new feeling within you, you courageously leap out of the Chimera's wreckage!

You see it! One of the foul beasts you've heard so much about! An Ork!

Channeling all of the indignation and range you feel for your fallen comrades, you let out a warcry of your own! One of the traditional ones of your homeland of Stella Platina!

"ORA!"

Without even thinking, your fist connects with its foul jaw.

Before you can even do the followup battle cry, you notice the Ork is out cold. Strange, considering you had heard many things about their prodigious physical strength.

You even knocked out some teef.

As you focus back on your surroundings, you see dozens of Guardsmen on cover...and you see Mercuria and Rahman near you, apparently in position to defend the wreckage you were just in.

Their faces just show plain shock.

Nearby, Commissar Hayes stopped what he was doing, glaring at you with a blank expression.

You impressed the man.

Even Hayes is impressed!

Now, Guardsman, there is no time to lose! Certainly more foul Orks are on their way towards you! What do you do?!

You soon find yourself surrounded by more Orks.

Any other Guardsman would have lost all hope at this time, but again, you are not any other Guardsman.

You strike a combat stance. The orks get closer, circling at you.

One lunges with a Choppa, and his face soon meets the back of your hand...it fractures his skull, sending him tumbling backwards and out of the battle.

Your fists, quick as a Heavy Bolter, pelt two more, who are soon out of combat as well, their monstrous faces beaten into a bloody pulp.

Deafening sound fills the air, and you deftly evade incoming Shoota fire. They are, of course, not terribly accurate, but highly dangerous.

You approach the Ork.

"Allow me to return this to their proper owners!" You yell, as you unclip the Choppa latched to your belt and cleave it into the Shoota Boy's chest.

"This is the will of that fallen Guardsman! Even in death, he still serves! Even in death, he still slays Orkz!" you monologue, your posture a final salute to the Guardsmen who met their grisly end in the ambush.

As you attack, you feel uncontrollable power surging within you.

Soon, a metallic fist finds its way out of your chest. You gasp in surprise, thinking for a split second that maybe you had just given in to Chaos.

But all that subsides immediately, as you realize this power feels right.

'Out' of you comes a humanoid-machine construct, floating in place like a sort of ghost.

You will it to hit the Shoota Boy, and it does.

You will it to do it again.
And it does.
And again.
And it does.

And it does.

And it does.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA....ORAAAAAAAA!!" Both you and the ephemeral spirit shout.

The flurry of the humanoid's blows eaves the Shoota Boy out cold. As it floats in front of you, you take a good look at it. It's wearing a helmet, but not a Guard's helmet like yours. Instead, it looks more like a safety helmet for civilian vehicle operation. Its eyes are obscured by what appears to be a pair of goggles. Its body is of a metallic sheen with red accents, with a long, thick cable resting on top of the clavicle, traveling towards the helmet over where the Sternocleoidmasteoid muscle would in a regular human. Its body was filled with what appeared to be doll-like joints.

The letters "LR" were emblazoned at the center of the helmet.

You knew this construct's name.

"「Low Rider」..." You softly mutter, as if whispering the name of an old friend.

You look back at where your companions are. They are trying to fend off the incoming Ork assault from the other flank, or at least most of them are.

Rahman is paralyzed, looking at you with wide, saucer-like eyes. Mercuria keeps shooting at the oncoming foes.

What to do now?
