Could you rate the skills? Basic Master should be fine, but you can put one at Intermediate.

Please do not create characters that are nore prone to screwing us over instead of helping us, will you?
Diversity of personality is fine, but let's not choose something too diverse/extreme?
I cannot trust myself to create some sheet because exactly this problem.

Sergeant Harmut
- Location

Scout Sergeant Harmut
Bio: Much like any other Scout Sergeant, Harmut has served with distinction for centuries within his Chapter. He has been the bane of countless foes, battled against some of the greatest nightmares of the galaxy and emerged from the experience - with the scars to prove it. But he spent many of those years as one of the Terminator Elite, at the very forefront of any battlefield. A far cry from his current appointment, with a camo cloak draped over his shoulders and a sniper rifle in his arms.
Sergeant Harmut is not the sort one would expect to serve as a Scout Sergeant, nurturing the next generation. His short temper has become legend amongst the young men of the Chapter, and his reputation for ruthlessness gives those under his charge worry that he will sacrifice them for victory. His history as one of the Terminator Elite, a Sternguard by vocation, has people scratching their heads as well. This is a man who belongs in the Honour Guard, or amongst the Captaincy, not as a Scout Sergeant. Rumors have spread that Harmut's star is falling, that he has aroused the ire of the Chapter Master, for failure on the battlefield or failure of a more personal kind. There are those who quietly lay the ruinous battle on the Space Hulk Howl of Eternity, for he was the sole survivor of those events, the rest dead or dying.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Harmut knows more than most that the future belongs to the young men of the future. He feels his age in his bones. He no longer carries himself with the weightless energy of an Angel of Death. His injuries have finally caught up to him, and someday might claim him. So when the opportunity came, he gave up his Terminator plate for a scout's carapace, put aside his storm bolter for a sniper rifle, and turned his eyes away from the enemy and towards his proteges.
An Epsilon Psyker, Harmut is just barely average in the Chapter in terms of power. But his mastery of Divination, the true sight that gave him the moniker of Hawkeye Harmut, is second to none. And with every squad he trains, he seeks to instruct the prodigies of the next generation that power is nothing without the skill to control it.
And with this next squad, he intends to teach this to the greatest prodigy the Chapter has ever faced.

I know its nit picky and for that I am sorry but space marines are biologically immortal as far as I know
PS : great story telling hope yours get picked

Pretty good, but I don't think you can go back to being a scout after becoming a full marine, much less a terminator.

scout Sergeants are full marines they just dont use power armor
I always figured they had a natural lifespan of around 400 years. Unless they were Blood angels, then more like 1000. Which when combined with spending half their lives on warp ships traveling from place to place means normal marines would be active for 1000-2000 years or so... if they survived. Due to time passing slower on ships going faster than light.
Though if they had biomancy powers, or Rejuvenat treatments, or cybernetic implants those could extend lifespan.
Plus they have the ability to go into suspended animation at will, which I always imagined was a way to make themselves live longer.

They aren't. Generally speaking they die long before age becomes a problem, but space marines are not always biologically immortal. It depends on the work, but I assume that this quest does not do that.
If it does I can just change it to 'his injuries have taken away his prime, so now he just seeks to train the next generation before he finally dies in battle for being too slow and too weak'.

Why would Blood Angels live longer? Also, isn't there a Space Wolf that's around 700 as of the Indominus Crusade?
Out of universal reasons:
Blood angels live longer because they're Vampire expy's.
If the spacewolf is Logan he's a wolverine expy.
In universe reasons:
Some individuals respond better to Geneseed and live longer as a result.
Blood Angel Geneseed confers greater lifespan upon its recipients than other Geneseed.(As well as a desire to drink blood)

So I looked it up and the oldest space marine is the chapter master of the blood angels at over 1500 years of age.

Welp, you're looking at the wrong place bud.
May I introduce you to the OLDEST Space Marine in Warhammer 40K?

With proper maintenance, Dreadnoughts can easily last 10 millennia. It doesn't say much about Astartes aging since this is the power of the machine, not the flesh. Personally, I would say that, barring heavy mutation or notable permanent injuries, a Space Marine can fight without a loss of physical ability for about 1800 years and live until 3000-4000 years of age.

Yeah and he was showing signs of being aged, hell that's even the reason they didn't get a mutual kill with Abaddon. So that doesn't sound like biological immortality

And Abbadon noted that if Sigismund been a few centuries younger he likely would have won their fight instead of leaving Abaddon 'merely' mortally wounded at the cost of his own life.
There's also a Salamander in the Nick Kyme books who was 10,000 years old who was left to watch a stock of geneseed but had become a shriveled paralyzed wreck who shortly died of old age after being discovered, and Warsmith Dantioch in the Heresy was physically aged 3000 years due to being in contact with the Hrud and had difficulty walking and breathing.
