In the Meridian Sector of Imperial space, the Tau have landed an expedition force onto the planet Sititanaria, and the cause is the northen half of the main continent has sided with the Tau, while the southern side remains in the Imperiums control. The only land access of the two sides is Hell's Corridor, both sides having numerous trenches and forward bases constructed. Numerous Warp signatures are detected as both Imperial and unknown ships enter the sector to join the battle over Meridian and to drop off troops, with the Tau expeditionary fleet already doing so. You are one of the Tau or Imperial soldiers in the reinforcement drop wave, or are you part of the unknown warp signature?

First things first, the rules
1. no trolling.
2. no having unlimited power, or having the best tech, or having a large army, you start as someone who is killable, and as such you feel pain and or can die.
3. If you ask politely if you die in the rp, you may be given control of an NPC
4. At the start you either are a Sergent with a small squad of common soldiers, or one of the common soldiers.
5. Only 3 Space marines characters, including myself, they dont need to belong in the same chapter.
Character Sheet time:
Name: (can be full or short)
Race: (humans can be with the tau)
Personality:
Appearance: (includes in and out of battle)
Personal History: (like a backstory)
Equipment: (ex: Imperial Guardsman with the flak jacket, the lasgun, etc.)
Rank: (such as assault marine or a fire warrior, or a stealth unit)
Affiliation: (Imperium, Tau Empire, Chaos, etc.)
P.S. The unknown warp signature isnt part of the rp till later, and those who spefically request to be apart of that force still have to make a character, but that character will die once the unknown force finally reveals itself, also let's pretend furs or scalies are allowed into the Imperium for rp's sake.

He was taken in as a Neophyte and began to train in the Black Templar's ways eventually becoming an Initiate, after which he joined Crusades against Greenskins and the Tau.
