Ink City Application
Jan. 4th, 2013 08:54 pmNot sure if this fits, but there is a Dawn of War game based on the Warhammer 40k universe, and there are a lot of mods out for it, so I'd venture that somewhere there's a mod for the Iron Hands out there.

Other Characters: N/A.... yet.
Name: Iron Father Poscle
From: Based off the Warhammer 40k Universe.
Appearance: Wears black and silver power armor, with visible bionic replacements of his body parts on his upper right leg, entire left arm below the shoulder, and right hand, with more cybernetic replacements not visible underneath. Fully automated, with emphasis on dexterity and repairs as a prime focus for his modifications. Has a servo pack with four mechanical arms, which feature two clamps, a flamer, and a plasma cutter. Also has a couple of mechadendrites.
Age: At least 4000 years old... and he hasn't even been interred into a Dreadnought yet!
Gender: Male.... if you can consider somebody with a complete conversion to bionics male and not a robot instead...
Personality: For all his extreme puritanicalism towards purging weaknesses, something within him still cares about others... he may not like them that much, but he still cares. Enough that he has yet to be interred into a Dreadnought because he still wants to help others eliminate their "weaknesses".
Then again, he's also terribly racist against "Xenos" (any non-human) and those with organic flesh, with some respite made for the Iron Hands because they try to eliminate as much of their flesh as possible. (He considers biological flesh a weakness.) Except,... he does know compassion makes a good space marine.
He usually ends up failing in the "showing compassion" part, as caught up in his beliefs that weaknesses need to be purged as he is.
Backstory: Poscle started his carrier as one of the Iron Hands like any other... he got a cybernetic left hand. Unlike many of the Iron Hands, he possessed a particular apititude for technology, even among the technologically proficent Iron Hands. So after basic battlefield training, he had been sent over to Mars to learn the arts of the Ommissah from the Adeptus Mechanicus. And although there was an air of suspicion surrounding him, he proved to be quite good at what they had to teach him, and learned quickly. Some even said he learned a little too quickly.
Afterwards, he procceeded to return to his chapter as an Iron Father. He had managed to get some more cybernetics in the time he was on Mars, and proceeded to not only help his chapter with surprising skill on the battlefield, but surprising skill with designing and planning cybernetic use for the Iron Hands as well. Not only that, but he also proved to be one of the most loyal Iron Hands out there, and managed to eventually achieve complete conversion. This was before the Horus Heresy happened. Not only is he just a Veteran Iron Father, but he saw his share of the Heresy as well, making him one of the oldest space marines ever not interred in a dreadnought on Imperial Record, and he has survived quite a few more things than he should have. If anything, the treachery committed by the traitor space marines only served to strengthen his beliefs about the flesh being weak, iron being strong, and all weaknesses needing to be purged.
Naturally, Poscle had been offered to be interred into a Dreadnought. Multiple Times. You would think that he would accept so he could become truely one with the machine, as he sees the machine as the ideal, but some odd quirk about him personally meant that he put ridding others of their weaknesses first before that. And he couldn't exactly do that much at all in a dreadnought--there's a reason you don't see any of those walking tanks doing any engineering work, they're simply too big for it! Even now, he's still one of the most skilled Iron Fathers so far as making cybernetics go. (And he's learned over the years that compassion makes a good space marine--not that he manages to succeed in being compassionate most of the time!) If you manage to befriend him somehow... you might even manage to get one (or more!) of these cybernetic upgrades.
Moral Standing: He is a weapon of war totally loyal to the Emperor of Mankind and utterly devout in his belief that flesh is weak and metal is strong. His universe also has Black and Grey Morality, so that could be a factor too.
There's definitely more than a few reasons you can see him as evil, or just a huge jerk.
Dreams: The first thing he dreams about is removing "weaknesses" in others, primarily in the Iron Hands Legion. Now that he's no longer in contact with them, trying to remove these "weaknesses" in other members of Ink City is still the highest priority for him. Provided they don't try to kill him first.
His second priority is to become one with the machines he adores so much, and sees this as the supreme ideal to aspire to--however, if it weren't for a quirk of his personality, he'd already have accomplished this, as described above.
His third, quite faint dream is to become a space marine hero. Faint paritally because he thinks he's already accomplished this, and he rarely realizes compassion is a good ideal.
Fears: Like any other member of the Iron Hands, Poscle is afraid of his own flesh, and the weaknesses posed by it. This fear has been naturally extended to fear of any sort of weakness. For the most part, this fear manifests in the form of hatred.
Extra: Somebody who is not a Transformer might want to throw Poscle through a wall or something. Otherwise, he's going to continue to be racist against those who he deems "Xenos" and/or harbor weak biological matter.
Although, to be fair, he still is going to be racist against those people, but he'll get the hint he might be wrong in that sense. Still won't stop him from hating those people.
Character Location: Iron Hands Battle Barge: A simply enormous spaceship the Space Marines use, this is the largest class of warship used by the Adeptus Astartes.
Link to an article describing Battle Barges: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Barge
However... despite it being (mostly) intact, there are a few notable things that aren't intact with this spaceship. The most notable of these is the fact that most of the engines of the spaceship--all the warp engines and most of the conventional engines--are completely gone. No evidence of tamering, no nothing--they're just gone. The Battle Barge still has a couple engines left to keep it in orbit, but these are not enough to get it anywhere fast, and are devoted full-time to keeping it in orbit.
The second most notable thing about the Battle Barge is that a large number of the Bombardment Turrets, Torpedo Tubes, Drop Pods, and Thunderhawks are either completely missing, irrepariably destroyed, or severely damaged. Poscle will eventually mark all the damaged areas with caution tape, as well as marking the working ones with reflective line green duct tape, both of which he'll end up getting from the Grocery Store. (Hey, it works, and it's easy to do!) However, the number of them which still work is just a few.
The third most notable thing is that the power system is mostly intact. There's some odd power fluctuation or other malfunction that Poscle has yet to figure out keeping it from running at full power, but for now it runs with just enough power to reliably power the engines, doors, lights, and machinery in the forge inside the Battle Barge. Poscle is well aware that firing the bombardment cannons and artillery tubes still left will undoubtedly tax the power systems, if not disable them outright.
Then there's the Battle Barge's industrial forge. This is the area Poscle spends the most time in within the Battle Barge, with plentiful supplies for engineering, many tools, and plenty of machines which aid in producing and implanting cybernetics, usually performing jobs hard or impossible to do with conventional tools. There's also various DNA testing machines in here as well. Its in this room that Poscle often wonders what the Iron Hands would do without one of their precious Battle Barges. He's not sure, but he doesn't ponder it for long, considering doing so a sign of weakness.
There are also enough sleeping quarters to house a small army, as well as a cafeteria capable of feeding it and enough storage for the food rations. While they were designed for a hardier folk than normal humans, a normal human might be able to eat some of those rations on the Battle Barge, but it's definitely not suggested. It's a better idea to get some food from the Warehouse than here, provided one does not have the digestive system of (or comparable to) a Space Marine.
Other areas within the battle barge include training rooms (for melee and ranged combat, primarily focused on the latter), the occassional large open expanse not filled with a room but left open for the building process, a bridge, a strategy room, and a small library filled with various Imperial docterines and books declaring and explaining the Iron Hands beliefs, as well as other, more general books regarding the Space Marines. Spare parchment and ink is still there, although the parchment, along with the books, are weathered and old, although not to extreme age. Poscle would likely react in anger if you defiled any of those books, accidentally or otherwise.
There's also a few onboard armories, scattered throughout. Poscle keeps these thoroughly locked up unless needed otherwise, although not all the equipment that should be there is. After all, he'd rather not risk a security breach.
The teleportation beacon to get up to the place lies on plot 68.
Samples: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Hands
Writing Sample: Blasted Xenos! They're more naive then the Orks are, and yet they don't manage to get away with the stupid things they believe either! Did they really think their fleshy bodies were stronger than my extensive bionics? I gave them a glare to let them know they were completely wrong, and readied my Bolt Pistol, too.
Then as I saw their wide-eyed stare, I remembered what it took to be a good space marine... and lowered my guard for a few moments. But looking at the xenos was enough to remind me I had to keep my guard up!
