Wanted to touch base with everyone regarding a possible open spot in one of the Only War games I'm competing to get in. We are going with the Regiment Hawk Shroud and I'm well aware of them from the knowledge from the Game Master.

His name is Bishop He is well received by the men he serves with. He is a man of the cloth and flamer. Brandishing a flamer, chain sword and bolter. He has a pendant symbol charm of the Aquila and a skull belt. He has grey Ecclesiarchal Robes and a book of scripture.

What I'm looking for is some extra insight into the Hawk Shroud. I know they serve the Astra Miltarium are somewhat archaic and feudal in their reaches. They are considered knights aboard their home planet. They also believe in strict cohesion and loyalty to their people. What else could I be missing. I want to do the work but do not know how the others will respond to my character.

I want the character to be liked hence his informal name but I also want him to also ideally believe what the others do. I want him to bring swift retribution to the mutant scum and xeno forces of the Sector, I'm looking for some personality things to give breath into Bishop. I need any and all help.

I`d drop the informal name for the time being, it`s too naff and very eighties action movie.

Let the squaddies come up with an informal for him, maybe it`ll be insulting, maybe they`ll even change it when he proves himself.

Decide if he is a priest from the regiments homeworld or a munitorum assigned chaplain from somewhere else this will give you a basic framework to start building from.

Consider what he thinks of the men he`s serving with. Does he see them as backward yokels, does he find their accent annoying? Does he see them as cowardly blasphemers requiring a firm hand or holy warriors worthy of the emperor`s glorious work? (Our priest distainfully refers to all our penal troopers as "the scum.")

How devout/fanatical is he? Does he want to be a martyr? Does he just want to live long enough to transfer off the line?

Was he assigned to get him out of the way? Is he a troublemaker? (our priest is a foul mouthed cynic who believes whole heartedly in the emperor but sees the church as bloated and corrupt.)
