The Inquisitor's Adventure Begins

Welcome Inquisitor! To the brand new Ordos Proelium, an order dedicated to destroying the Daemon, The Heretic, and the Xenos. We are the jack of all trades group of the Ordos, and we can request assistance from them if needed. But anyways, let's get down to the paperwork here.
[] What is your name?
[] Title?
[] Age?
[] Race (Paperwork Reasons-Are you an Abhuman?)
[] Homeworld?
[] Appearance?
[] Personal Weapon?
[] Former Ordos
-[] Hereticus
-[] Malleus
-[] Minoris
-[] No Ordos
[] Psychic Ability (Roll 1d100)
-[] None (1-25)
-[] Minor (25-50)
-[] Capable (50-75)
-[] Talented (75-100)
[] Any Quirks? (Name Three)
[] Are you an Active Inquisitor, or are you a more Tactical one?
-[] Active (Battlefield)
-[] Tactical (Base)
[] Resources (Besides Calling upon other Ordos and certain elements of the Imperium: Pick Two)
-[] Ties With: This allows you call upon two groups you have ties with, be it a guard company or Space Marine Chapter.
-[] Pet: A personal pet of your choice, this pet has some form of assistance on the battlefield or at base.
-[] Information Network: This will make searches for heretics and xenos among your planets easier and cheaper by 25%.
-[] Assassins: These Assassins, while not Ordos trained, are just as effective for dealing with Heretics and protection details. Invokes blue option: Send Assassins
-[] Huge Favor: Somebody owes you a massive favor due to something you did for them, but it's been a while.
-[] Personal Armory: This will allow you to pick up a few more weapons to arm your soldiers with, making some missions easier.
-[] Custom Ship: This vehicle is piloted by your loyal crew, but it is a bit of a lightly armed vehicle meant for quick skirmishes.
-[] Bodyguards: Two bodyguard who shall defend you with their very life, armed with whatever you see fit to have them trained with. (Pick Two, they follow the same format as the Inquisitor. Except they can be sent on missions with or in your place.)
--[] Human: Jack Of All Trades
--[] Ogryn: Strong, Powerful
--[] Ratling: Quick, Sneaky
--[] Felinid: Fast, Quick Thinking
Thank you Inquisitor, but what of the army you're going to use? We're not exactly a full fledged program here, and we must draw from a few different groups.
Which groups shall we draw from? (Pick Two)
[] Imperial Guard (+14 Soldiers)
-[] Catachan Jungle Fighters
Perks: Welcome To The Jungle (+20 Accuracy In Forest Biomes) We Die Standing (Shooting only takes one action, provided it's the first turn)
-[] Death Korps Of Krieg
Perks: We Die Standing (Shooting only takes one action) Know No Fear (Panic Checks have a +10 to them, meaning normal intimidations fail.)
-[] Last Chancers
Perks: We Die Standing (Shooting only takes one action) Meat Grinder (Units are 50% Cheaper to hire)
-[] Kasrkin Troopers (Cadian Shocktroopers)
Perks: Jack Of All Trades (Standard Stat Growth) We Die Standing (Shooting only takes one action)
-[] Different Regiment ([] Name, [] Unique Perk)
[] Sisters Of Battle (+5 Initiates)
Perks: Purity Of Soul (Resist Chaos Temptations +10) Purge The Heretic! (Does +4 Damage Against Heretics)
[] Officio Assassinorum (+1 Assassin)
-[] Callidus
Perks: Infiltration Unit (Can Infiltrate an enemy group before battle, allowing you to ambush them)
-[] Eversor
Perks: Rip & Tear (Can be thrown into battle to soften up targets, or to destroy an entire group if necessary.)
-[] Vindicare
Perks: One Shot, One Kill (Ignore Armor)
-[] Culexus
Perks: Immune To The Warp (Completely Resist Warp Attacks, Destabilize Psykers)
Ah good, now that we have that figured out. Where should we set up our base? We've already gotten a few planets in sight that would be useful, but the final decision is yours. Each planet will give us a certain…'Payment' for each month we keep them secure, I can assure you that it is not a bribe. Just some third party funding, that's all.
[] Name: Blackwater
Classification: Hive World
Information: Blackwater is notorious for its criminal gangs and history of violence, but this planet does have some...Less than legal ways to get us more Imperial Crowns, allowing us to purchase more equipment and soldiers.
Bonus: Black Market Unlocked (Sell and buy from an illegal market)
[] Name: Deimos II
Classification: Forge World
Information: Deimos II is a Forge World that is well known for its craftsmanship and their easy to acquire weaponry, but it's also known for heretics to be found among their people. So we must be careful, as a Heretic will see this as an opportunity to harm our supply routes.
Bonus: -50% on Weapons Price and Vehicle Upkeep
[] Name: Aegis XII
Classification: Fortress World
Information: Aegis XII is a Fortress World with enough weapons and ammunition to supply our soldiers four times over, and they're quite capable of training or even calling for more soldiers for our Order if needed.
Bonus: Soldier Price is 25% Less, One Time use items gain another use.
[] Name: Gardenia
Classification: Agri-World
Information: Gardenia is a simple world with simple problems, not much happens here besides the occasional small crime or other issue. But the planet itself is great for starting up, as it is willing to grant us more Imperial Crowns for our services.
Bonus: +50% Imperial crowns Per Turn

Hmmm so I have been watching this one youtube series that tells the story of a Dark Heresy game where there is a character who is the Inquisitorial equivalent of professor Oak and...well I'm wondering if we can't create a similar set up.

Wow, overwhelming support for Wings Of Iron. I take it everyone's ready to start?

Seems like it, also quick question I personally have a plan for a bit of a side operation for when we aren't doing a main inquisition operation. It goes roughly like this
- Have agents go about the sector collecting potentially talented people no one will miss (a dozen last survivors of a Guardsman regiment, a couple tech acolytes, paper pushers who's jobs are redundant, assorted ganger and the like).
- Draft said people into the Inquisition and give them a crash course on how to be inquisitorial agents.
- Separate these people into teams that can act as a relatively balanced Inquisitorial retinue.
- Assign these teams to Inquisition Acolytes who need some leadership experience as they do minor inquisition stuff.
- Do this until the teams either die, become part of the Acolyte's retinue once they are promoted to full Inquisitor or show enough talent to become Inquisition Acolytes themselves. Alternatively they are slotted into our main operations as experienced agents.

You're a bleeding inquisitor, of course ye can.

I was more talking in terms of time and resource investment, although it probably wouldn't be that resource intensive since the overall idea is for a rather Darwinian sort of method with the mere survival of these recruits likely being enough to warrant them being promoted. Although the tricky part will be getting the Blacksites for the training and the like.

It was a calm day on the planet of Deimos II, skies were clear and no sign of heretical intent. Though there was one thing still nagging at you, why did they need to forge a new Ordos? Sure there were some inter-service rivalry here and there, but it wasn't bad enough that a full fledged militant branch needed to be formed.
Still, it was an honor to do the Emperor's work.
While you were in the midst of your thinking, the ship you were on finally landed. The craft's door soon opened, and you were welcomed by a red robed Techpriest.
"Welcome Saint Amelia, it is an honor to meet you." The Techpriest had a few mechanical arms hanging from their back, armed with analytical tools and whatnot. "Oh and how rude of me, I am Inquisitor Carolus. I was appointed to be your assistant, if you'll have me."
"You'll do a fine job Carolus, now any incoming orders?" The Techpriest paused for a moment, before answering your question.
"Yes, but first I must ask of you to take a look around your new fortress." Nodding, you followed him as he showed you around the newly created fortress. Shrines of the Emperor and Omnissiah decorated the halls, and there were a few other Techpriests hared at work building something.
"The Eversor's cage, made to keep it in stasis until needed." He gestured, and you could see the Assassin resting within the chamber. "Personally I find them unnerving, I much prefer the calm precision of the Vindicare." Moving on from that, you finally made it to the Command Center of the Fortress.
"Here is where you'll command your soldiers from, now what is our first order of business Inquisitor?" Carolus asked, his head bowed in respect and his team working silently in the background.

I say go for it
