Of Stolen Valor and Copied Flesh (A Clone Primarch 40k Quest)

Voting is open
Reader mode
Random musing I had on this, this is semi-comedic and a lot of the early votes are going to be defining what kind of quest we're playing so don't take these musings as definite. But my mental image of each possible route when I start was

Fulgrim: "The knife's edge between atonement and falling into your old mistakes all over"

Angron: "Without the Butcher's Nails, what are we?"

Lorgar: "The Penitent, the Preacher, or the Sinner?"

Sanginius: "An imperfect copy of a near perfect son, with the burdens and hopes of an entire galaxy placed upon them."

Ferrus: "This Imperium is shit, my Legion is shit, this is all shit, fuck you Fulgrim."

Night Haunter: "Oh shit the drugs are wearing off and I'm realizing my first captain had a point"
 
Ok yeah, changed vote to fem night haunter.

Get forced to realize your stupidity was your stupidity and not inevitable!
 
Oh man. There are a lot of fun options here so I'm struggling to pick one.

[X] The Great Angel
[X] Woman

I'm voting for this one but I don't think I'll be disappointed regardless of who wins.
 
[X] The Lord of the Red Sands
[X] The Gorgon

Don't really carry if we end up a man or a woman, both can be interesting but these are definitely the 2 I want to see. Angron without the nails is something I've never seen written well and Ferrus' cry of "it's all shit I hate you I have to fix this fuck you fulgrim" is very funny to me.
 
I wouldn't necessarily mind Sanguinius winning, but I would prefer a Traitor geneline over a Loyalist one.

It just feels like there's more room for conflict between them and their old Legion that way, plus the hints we've seen for Angron and Curze both see pretty cool.
 
Fem Angron could end up being Red Sonja.

Given their shared memories I doubt she would enjoy the Imperium. Nevermind getting your soul enslaved by Chaos. It's difficult to say where her character would go because from what we actually know of Angron his convictions and views went against what the Imperium was and has become.

I don't think there's a chance to get some of the World Eaters out either. Definitely the hard mode, now that I think about it, because she ultimately has nothing to give this empathy to.

Not gonna lie, Lorgar is becoming a lot more interesting. His initial faith came into being, so should she feel vindicated? But her original also abandoned it with devastating consequences... so guilty? A very conflicted character with limited options all around.

No Legion to fall back on, no supporters, no brothers. Would she want to retreat the path of the past and join the Ecclesiarchy? Something different? Similar to Angron.

Kurze has potential...
Definitely the most freedom and the option that doesn't immediately force us to get into contact with the Imperium. The Night Lords also aren't as tightly bound to Chaos, so it's more a question of gathering them and providing a new purpose. For good or ill.

No idea what to do with Ferrus. Things being shit doesn't change with any of them. The others might have more incentive to change it. But that's my own lack of interest in the Iron Warriors talking.

Edit: I care so little, I even forgot their name. Iron Hands.

Glorious Hawkgirl could go incredibly right or devastatingly wrong. I mean... the worst case I can come up with is that she would be rejected by the Blood Angels + Successors and goes to meet the Lamenters. Interesting in it's own right, but yeah.

All in all it would be a story about living up to unreasonable expectations. It would also lock us in with the Imperium from the start in one way or another. Definitely lots of personal conflict here.

Neat premise. As for the choice?
Sanguinius is just a cruel pick. Especially for the Blood Angels. They still have his corps in their basement. What are we gonna do? Look at our dead original, contemplating our existence? It's... as cool as it could be, I feel like this would absolutely break the Blood Angels in a schism.

Another thing about Sanguinius is that they should still remember the last time Bile mess with them by creating the Bloodfiends so they have extra reason to be suspicious of any bile related things.
