Play as a rogue Psyker trying to escape the grasp of the imperium and learn the secrets of the immaterium.
The Beginning
Location
In the oldest city on the oldest land
In the grim darkness of the forty second millennium, a recent cataclysm has shaken the imperium of man to it's core. The psychic awakening has cursed billions among the teeming masses of humanity with the greatest blessing of the warp: Psykery. You are one among these newly awakened psykers yet you will not be bound into the service of the emperor. You will choose your own path.
But before your path can be seen. Who are you?

[]Male

[]Write in

To have a path, one must have a beginning. From whence in the Ultima Segmentum do you hail from?

[]Forge world: Hephaestus VI is a forge world dedicated near the eastern fringe. You served as a menial laborer in one of the many frost covered factories. The cold and toxic environment has long since taken it's toll, leaving you permanently sickened.
+high tech skills
-sickness

[]Hive world: Magna Hestia was once an agri world, one would not know this looking upon the massive smokestacks of it's 3 great hives. You were and still are a slummer in the underhive of Charon V. Though those whose task it is to bring you to the emperor's mercy rarely visit the depths of the hives, there are no few unscrupulous fellows ready to take advantage of your newfound power.
+no surveillance
-hive world

[]Pleasure world: Aphrodite is a pleasure world of unimaginable beauty, terraformed to look like the mythologized ideals of holy Terra's ancient past. You labored here as a cook, an entertainer or any other myriad roles needed to keep those high in the emperor's grace in constant bliss. As such you have grown quite skilled in the art of talking. You will need such skills to avoid the attention of the many inquisitors that visit the world for both business and pleasure.
+social skills
+friends in higher places
-surveillance
-few practical skills

[]Psykana world: The world of Hecate IV was close to the eye of terror even before the birth of the cicatrix maledictum. By writ of the Skolastika Psykana, the world of Hecate IV provides it's tithe to the Imperium of man in the form of psykers. Every decade dozens of black ships leave Hecate IV, their holds full of powerful and relatively well trained psykers. You are to be one of these psykers if you do not escape in time.
+heightened talent
-the black ships



For a long time you lived a normal life, the warp played a small role in your life. Good luck at dice or small glimpses into the future your only warning as to the upheaval that was to come. What awakened the spark of power within you?

[]A fight: They accosted you, five on one. You smote them with lightning much too powerful for a neonate psyker. Now you feel invincible in your power, yet even a diamond won't shine unpolished and you have few resources to learn from.
+heightened talent
-a diamond unpolished

[]A teacher: They were not sanctified nor a part of any imperial organization. They saw the spark within you and tried to foster it for their own uses. In the end you stabbed them dead as they slept. Breaking the chains they had placed upon both body and mind took longer but you managed. Now you are free.
+Well taught
-The shackles' remnants

[]A grimoire: The sorceror was grand in both power and stature. You and seventeen others were kidnapped, tortured until only the most willful nine remained. You were then placed into an arena, at it's center was a pedestal with a grimoire on top of it. The sorceror told you that the last one holding the grimoire would gain their freedom. After you had bashed the final contender with the grimoire the sorceror told you that you had earned freedom and then he...left.

With good training and without surveillance, we will be able to gather a lot of resources for further escape.

@fearsome hill If the UNLIMITED POWER plan wins, what level of strength will we have according to the psyker classification?
Will Psychic disciplines be available to us from the very beginning?

I'll have to admit to not being a warhammer lore master so my knowledge is limited.
Looking at the lexicanum i'd say the UNLIMITED POWER protagonist would be somewhere between Delta and Alpha.
 
Also I think we shouldn't put much weight into the Assignment,which is vaguely defined fluff rather than anything concrete that could be found on the tabletop
 
@fearsome hill will there be a stat that would measure our psychic might and control like,for example,Willpower from Warhammer RPGs or Control from other stuff ?
At this point im considering two different ways to do it:
Option A is using the warhammer 40k rpg system
Option B is using a more lightweight system of traits. So you'd have like "Psychic might V" and "Soulsight IV" And then when you choose an action i roll a die and see how your traits would affect the result.
 
Will Psychic disciplines be available to us from the very beginning?
Oh just realised i forgot to answer your other question.
It depends. With the teacher choice you would definetly have atleast some discipline powers from the beginning. The grimoire would let you get some quite quickly. The Fight choice would mean that your powers are much more "natural" so to speak, you would have a harder time taking conscious control over your powers.
 
Oh i never opened voting...............
Anyways vote's closed
