Where's that guy anyway? Hopefully on Muspelheim, we need Big Guys to plug the boarding holes.

Character idea then...bit of edge and Mary sue. If someone can help me make the concept better then please let me know.
Female officer who's been with the Black Irons since inception and was a participant of the Blacktyde massacre. She killed her brothers family and her brother and has been throughly depressed to the point that only high amounts of drugs, alcohol, and unprotected sex can make her feel anything. (Fem!Balder from God of war basically). Her most hated enemies outside of chaos are Sirens for there underhanded and brutal methods of fighting.
She's highly respected for her skill, age, and sage advice by all but especially younger troopers coming through the system.
However due to the high amounts of drugs, alcohol, and sex previously mentioned she forgets to use protection and so does her partner leading to a pregnancy.
She wants to put the child up for adoption as she has no family left on Avernus but relents because a lot of her recruits come from the orphanage system and a lot end up broken due to parental neglect. She then wants to kill her to spare her from anguish but can't commit to doing it herself or asking for help. When the baby starts crying she istinctly gives it her breast and feels a bonding with the child and decides to keep it. She resigns from the Black Irons much to the dismay of her unit for losing an original member and a skilled officer. She takes up a job as a bodyguard for visitors and sword instructor at a local school to make money and continues to bond with her child.
Years later her child is flagged as a Psyker and loser her to the Telephaica and suffers what is known as child separation syndrome but is able to secure a job as a guard at the University in order to stay near her daughter and allowed limited visitation. Her kids the only one who as the luxury of a parent being near them and not abandoning them like most do.
Its discovered that her kids speciality of all things is an ability to actually eat souls and has to be taken under the wing of Aria in order to keep the child stable. Her mother continues to provide emotional support however despite now very much fearing a fate like that of her comrades.
As time passes the kid makes it through the academy and is a specialized Deamonlogists and Biomancer. They are extremely good at killing demons and uses C.C abilities on other enemies in order to close in on them with a sword.
Thoughts?
Also this was written onnmy phone so please excuse my autocorrect.
Also I assume all parents just leave there kids at the academy and cut off communication from there.
Again please share what you think.

By the way the EitD Discord server has an omake section to brainstorm/discuss/etc. omakes.
It's already day 14, 20:00 on the colony. Muspelheim fleet arrived a day and 20 hours ago.
It's all in the timers above each section.

The Muselphiem Admech forces arrive at day 13 00:00 or 12 am. Give or take time.
It is day 4 : 12:00 or day 4 at 12 pm we are deciding what to do about Asgard.
The Eldar take hours to change between areas
Edit wait you are right about Muselphiem it is day 13 now when the Admech arrive there.

No, 8:14:00 is when Hvergelmir orbital defences are overwhelmed. Eldars kill Turoq at 14:20:00, and are ready for redeployment then.
It doesn't particularly matter when exactly Rotbart decides on plans, but Chron fleet arrives at 13:08:00.
You are right I thought it would be two weeks for the forces to arrive at the defenses at Muselphiem. Day 14 plus.
Which makes it day 18 or 19 the Eldar Fleet to arrive in Muselphiem.

Day 18. Or 19, maybe, if they take more than 4 hours.
I already corrected that .

well, the term for a order-deamon is a angel (well, not angel...its not spelled the same...but still)
so maybe something like a fairy? (I think someone already made a story for those?) or maybe like, gremlin or something like that?
(to imply that they are probably not as powerful or something?)
edit: the term for the raised/undead eldar is wraiths...maybe something similar to that? I kinda like that one honestly.

No such thing as an order daemon until minor gods in Embers were a thing. Fairies, gremlins, and wraiths as a catch-all term for the daemons of minor gods doesn't fit. Maybe for the names of daemons of specific gods (like how the name for the lesser daemon of specifically Khorne is "bloodletter"), but not for all of them.

everything else you said made sence, (even if I don't know if I agree)...but ....the language Durin uses and everyone uses (it seems?) in talking about the abominations "deamons" are "angel" (but spelled differently...I can't remember...it looks similar to the word angry)

I figure most minor gods who care would give their demons a custom name. Though if one is being polite I think warp spawn is fairly neutral.
Just because Abomination pretends he is an order god doesn't mean he is. It's angyl, by the way.

ooh, I like that. we can use the different angel terms for them...I think some of them even have a "softer" tone too which would be a nod to the non-chaos thing to.
although in responce about the "he might not be a order god"
...well, I thought that he canonically WAS a order-god.....(ultra extreme law/tradition seem to be rather lawful...they can't not follow tradition very easily..they can't not follow orders much...which is explicitly order (even if not *good*.....).. and is the opposite of the chaos gods behavior too (don't follow the law, just do your own thing*)
@Durin ...is the abomination a god of order? (I guess we have not done a "nature of" on him/it yet...but seems reasonable to say that we would know such a big(?) property of it even without that?

Perhaps Emanations would be a nice catch all for the Daemons of minor gods?
Since each Daemon is a small sliver of their patron god, it seems fitting to term them as emanations of that god.

The Spying on Gods interlude confirmed that he is a Chaos God. He is not an order god. He is not the Chaos God of Order. He is the Chaos God of Obedience. Order has nothing to do with it except superficially, and even that is ultimately a lie. Chaos Gods have nothing to do with order, and the Abomination, who is a Chaos God, is no exception.

But what is Chaos, really? What does it mean for the ruinous powers to be "chaos" gods?
Certainly not some state of being random in nature: Consider Khorne; as chaotic as war seems, there are very definite patterns: opposing sides, lines of battles, strategies and tactics, the predictability of the next conflict and the one after that, the codes of honor and so forth. Nurgle's circle of life, death and rebirth reflects a clear order of nature, and the stagnant, unchanging, inevitability of it underscores that order. Slaanesh and Tzeench seem to not be so limited, but they are still predictable in their nature of constant change and excess.
This is more philosophical than it has to be. Chaos is 'that which Chaos Undivided cultists pray to' a malignant tumor upon existence which seeks to overturn all material existence though the ascendancy of the Warp.
