I think I might as well post my own character now....

Saffron "Machine's bane" Krieger.

Former battle brother of the now destroyed Sun Warriors chapter (oh yeah thats right, bringing the good old Sun Warriors back)

Appearance: Saffron is unusually tall for a Space Marine, measuring up at 10'5". He is also strangely thin, and he looks more like a incredibly tall human than a Space Marine. He is also further distinguised from his brother by his teeth, which are actually long sharp fangs. Saffron also has long, dark orange hair, which he takes pride in (mostly due to the fact he has managed to avoid getting it cut for so long)

Armor: Mark VII Aquila Armour which has been modified to fit his thinner and taller form. Also, instead of a normal helmet Lorius wears one that strongly resembles the Sabbat Pattern helms worn by the sisters of battle.

Primary Weapon: Astartes Power Spear

Secondary Weapons: Bolt pistol, combat knife.

Misc: 2x Frag grenade, small box containing a large number of cigars.

Background: Saffron's past is rather standard, he was inducted into the Sun Warriors at a young age and turned into a Space Marine and in his early career he had done little that deserved much attention, this all changed however when Saffron got his first taste of combat against necrons. Saffron found his home fighting these xenos, he didnt know why, but he excellend in combat while fighting them. Over the next few years Saffron was directed to all engagements involving necrons by his Captain and Saffron was forever eager to engage the damnable machines in battle. During this time, due to what the company Apothecarys could only guess as a dormant mutation, Saffron began to physically change, becoming taller and skinnyer and his teeth forming into wicked fangs. Despite normal regulation telling the chapter to destroy this mutant, the Sun Warriors turned a blind eye, ignoring Saffron's mutations due to his sheer skill in battle and strong faith to the Emporer. Over his time fighting nercrons Saffron was noticed by agents of the inquisition as was inducted into the Deathwatch just as he was his brothers went to war and were shortly after completed destoryed when a large portion of his chapter went rogue, leaving Saffron the only living Sun Warrior left in existence. Knowing he had no home to go back to, Saffron remained with the Deathwatch, and he continues to serve today.

Personality: Saffron is a mixed bag when it comes to personality. In combat he is a serious killer, focused purely on following orders and killing enemies in the name of the Emporer. Out of combat Saffron is rather laid back for a Space Marine (some would even say unproffesional) and he enjoys talking with his battle brothers and even simple workers and such. He also has a rather interesting sense of humor, and he rather enjoys creeping out people by showing off his fangs. Saffron also has a strong love of singing and he will often go around humming imperial marching songs or other fitting gothic tunes. Saffron love of music is only passed by his love of cigars, and when not in combat it almost impossible to find Saffron without a cigar in his mouth.

Sorry for the length guys, but I like to go into some detail
