sweet :) well, here goes...

name - Garion. conscripted from agri-world labourers into the dark angels.

age - 30. tactical marine.

personality - quiet, introverted, solemn, stubborn, no sense of humour.

gear - MK VII aquilla, boltgun, 2 bolt pistols, 2 frags and 2 kraks.

physically, intellectually, and psychologically Garion has no remarkable attributes. very literal-minded with little capacity for inovative thinking, he never would have stood out were it not for his uncanny ability with boltguns and bolt pistols. in close combat his skills are mediocre at best (for an astartes), and barley competent on a bad day. he fares slightly better with firearms in general, but again he shows no remarkable skills with anything other than small-arms bolt weapons.

his extreme skill with small-arms bolt weapons has led to his rapid progress through the 9th and 8th companies. he was almost exclusively a squad leader in the 9th company as he wields a pistol far better than he wields a heavy bolter, or lascannon etc, despite the fact that he isn't noted have having leadership qualities. when in the 8th company his overuse of small-arms bolt weapons was again noted as he had a tendency to use weaponry such as power swords and chainswords as a means of bringing his pistol into play, and occasionally would decline a blade in favour of dual-wielding bolt pistols. he's currently in the 7th company where his skill is most suited. this is his 1st deathwatch assignment, and he only has it because of his unatural accuracy with small-arms bolt weapons.

while he initially had to learn how to shoot during his initiation into the ranks of the dark angels, he quickly began to set unprecedented records in training regimens when using boltguns and bolt pistols. in live combat he has exceeded expectations in comparison to his training records, and to date has only missed a single bolt-round - the 1st time he fired at a chaos marine - the subsequent 2 dozen rounds finished what the missed the shot failed to. this uncharacteristic display of gross violence sparked by the colouring of the chaos marine's armour: an all too familiar shade of green...

after this engagement the chapter's master interrogator-chaplain spoke at length to garion, and was essentially told to forget what he saw as he didn't possess the capacity to understand, yet, but to stay true to the tenets of the dark angels which will provide, in time, the wit to comprehend. but despite garion's literal-mindedness he has been utterly incapable of forgetting, and has felt the first stirrings of an unknown sensation - uneasy curiosity.

he only aspires to be an astartes: to be the embodiement of the emperor's will.

well that's my 1st foray into creating an rp character, i hope it's ok. sorry for the length...well not really as i was kinda enjoying it :)
