The heavy hand of a Father's love is almost always lost by his actions. The Navigator chose immortality for his children, for the sake of their children's children, but ultimately could not avoid the cost of that ageless life. With thunder and fury he imbued them with power eternal, and with thunder and fury they go to the grand stage of an Eternal War they are powerless to stop.

Key Symaarian Imperium Lore (locked)

Long ago, longer than anyone can remember or record in history, the first light came to life. A distant music echoed in the vale of eternity, and the World Tree was there. All realities answer to it, are born in its boughs, and progressively die nearer to the roots stretching into the Void. It is here the Elder Gods lived, laughed, and loved. Navi'or'es stood amongst them and nurtured the realities of all creation as they were all born, matured, and vanished. Again and again he would experience the life and joy of life in these realities, and grieve greatly at their passing. Each life was important to him, and he wanted above all other things to create his own life instead of watching it through a shroud like pale glass.

He secretly poured his thought and great skill into a small people, only eight at first. These he called Symaarians and placed them on a paradise world in the Vine Sphere before all conscious thought. Yet, there were no other species for them to call friend and so he bade them slumber until the time was right.

All of this desire would have been for naught, however, as the lifeless Void became alive all its own. Al'kash'mur, the Great Devourer, spawned in the end of all things as the shadows he was birthed from coiled around his vast girth and strangled the World Tree, bringing all reality into jeopardy. The beast would have drained all life from the Yggdrasil had the Elder Gods, who loved what Al'kash'mur sought to destroy, imparted their own judgment upon the creature. They warred with the monster for generations, fighting back the infection of his blood and destroying each root of his influence where it sought to bud.

Navi'or'es dealt the killing blow, for he had fought against the behemoth the hardest and longest, and sent the corpse careening back into the Void. Time would pass, but the dread of Al'kash'mur would not be forgotten. Instead, his great hunger lingered on even in death. Even now, there are remnants of the Horror that he left behind.

Severely wounded, Navi'or'es decided to retire to the reality he chose for the Symaarians, his children, so that he may live with them. Never again would he be capable of the godly feats he managed against Al'kash'mur, but he had strength left in him for his creations. He saw the races that awoke in the time between the birth of the first Symaarians and his return to their slumbering forms, and he grew afraid. Things, such as the Orks, he knew could never be capable of any love other than that of battle. Therefore, the Navigator awoke his children and woefully taught them of protection and war. Ever since then, the Symaarian mind has been aggressive towards outsiders and xenophobic without substantial evidence that trust can be placed in that foreign party. And, ever since then, the Symaarians have been loyal to their own - at least at that moment.

The Navigator still did not want to send his children to war, however, and dedicated their minds also to science and art and the pursuit of greater philosophies other than simply bloodshed and hatred. Yet, impervious soldiers he needed for the times ahead that he foresaw. A thousand years of prosperity passed, and Symaar Primus became much like it is today. In that time, the Navigator created his first Immortal Legions from thunder and fury. Though, he could not bear to witness changing the entirety of his beloved children. He instead opted to create the Primarchs of the modern Legions, though their names have been lost to history. They were the foundation of the Legions, with their second-generation gene-seed providing a much more reliable means of transferring such godly power to the initiates responsible for becoming unstoppable warriors themselves.

The Great Crusade spanned the entirety of the galaxy, waging a war to wipe out the Symaarians' enemies all at once so that they could live in peace forever. Though the Primarchs were all but forgotten, it is Jormunder - founder of House Roxom - who is remembered out of these mysterious times. With victory in sight, disaster struck.

The Infernal Phalanx always existed alongside Navi'or'es since the beginning, but their emergence into the Vine Sphere would never be forgotten. The Tartaran Heresy exploded throughout the conquered territories of the Symaarians, and consumed the galaxy in the flames of demonic insanity. The Navigator, shocked by the sudden and violent war, decided to do battle with all of the Phalanx's Seats of Chaos at once - all for the sake of his children, who were dying below this new godly warfare. Even in his weakened state, the Navigator held his own, but he could not overtake the Phalanx with his wounds still open from his battle with Al'kash'mur. He was struck down, but managed to close the burgeoning gap in realspace enough so that it would never expand. This, Symaarians called the Eye of Terror as they fled with their dying father in tow. They interred him into the Golden Throne on Symaar Primus, and faint vital signs hold to this day - 39,000 years later. The Phalanx fled into the Eye of Terror, and remain there launching their attacks without any mercy. The aliens that the Symaarians sought to eliminate have come back with a vengeance, such as the Orks and Eldar, but new enemies have awoken. The Necrons - their eternal slumber disturbed by the Great Crusade - rise to silence the noise of the living forever. Even old rivalries, such as the Horror that harkens back to the very first conflict of the Navigator and Al'kash'mur, rage on.

Now it is the 41st Millennium of the Symaarian Imperium, and in the grim darkness of this age - there is only war.

RULES:

  1. This is much like Loner's Nightclub. It is a continuously open RPG for established characters (if you want to expand them in this direction) or new ones that you want to make just for this occasion.
  2. Under no circumstances are you to destroy or make anything without my consent. This includes planets, factions, buildings, monuments, etc.
  3. The planets and their corresponding occupants are by no means the limit to the Imperium's vast swath of territory. It occupies a million worlds, each with their own unique histories and people.
  4. Everything you see is subject to change. This is by no means a completed work.
  5. Overwhelmed? Ask me anything and I'll sort it out for you.

Your destiny is in the making. Grasp it! Make it your own! The universe awaits you.

Blood pooled along the rooftop in a small puddle provided from the latest kill, a spear runing through the traitor execution the demanded punishment. Very rarely was there ever a chaos worshiper on Symaar Primus the heavy populated world however was great at conceiling one however if the worshiper was a intelectual. It had tooken the heritic hunting Inquisition two days to get a lock on his location. From there they sent their youngest but exceedingly promising adopted child of Roxom. Salem had given chase to the man along well lit roof tops the fogy atmosphere never slowing her down. And soon enough she had claimed her kill ending the life of the traitor before he could start anything major. It was suicide for the worshiper to have even tried. Dropping to one knee the Inquisitor placed her palm on the mans chest alchemy used to liquify the person into a maroon colored paste. Not a soul outside of the Inquisition would know he ever existed.

@zandor:

What, with the High Lords of Symaar Primus or with Thor'taan? Or with one of the civil governors?

Two out of three of those are impossible to achieve without the proper clearance. I'll let you figure out who.

Dave had decided to embark on a special task in the Symaarian Imperium, one that was of the utmost importance, secrecy, and to be held in the utmost discretion from the others in his group. In other words, he was taking Jade out on a date on Praetor. This kind of thing made him a bit uneasy for several reasons, while a Human or Novian could pass for a symaarian even up close, a single gene scan would blow their cover, or indeed just feeling Dave's double pulse. He also had to caution Jade several times to keep their abilities hidden lest they start a massive mess.

"No Jade, just...leave the dog ear band off..." He told her as they stepped off from a shuttle, the other members of the team having decided to go to a bar in the Vhozon Grand Judiciary to drink themselves into a stupor. "Aww, but Dave..." She whined slightly with a bit of a smile. "It's just that I'd rather not get anymore raised eyebrows, okay?" He said with a sigh before ruffling her hair as the two decided to see what could be found in the hive, his coif like hood let down while he adjusted his sunglasses.

A pair of Praetorian Guardsmen stop them at the front door of Hive City Damascus, their big smiles framed with characteristically styled curly mustaches.

"ID tag or passport if you please." One of them says, adjusting the strap to his lasgun on his shoulder with a 'hip-pip cheerio' sort of demeanor.

@Kaligar Roxom : 
 
Jade tugged on Dave's arm a bit to pull him over for a whisper.  "Dave I don't have an ID what do we dooooo?!?"  She whispered frantically, the Entity having given her many things, but proper registration not being one of them.  "Chill, I got this."  He said as he tried taking out an identity slate the Novus had made for him at the behest of the Founder.  The slate, like most Novus and Novian things, was primarily white with a mostly blue screen and some glowing blue lines.  The Slate took a moment to translate itself into gothic script and listed various details, such as Date of Birth in Novian standard time, the Location of his birth, which he hoped to the dead gods of Novia that none of these guards knew had been burnt to a cinder along with the entire Novian civilization by the Hierarchy invasion two hundred years ago, along with other assorted information.

A Rogue Trader by the name of Artorian spots the derelict and decides to investigate, the prospect of riches outweighing his own suspicions of anything coming out of a random tear in time-space.

@Temporal_Guardian:

The Praetorian Guardsman who spoke to Dave took the slate in his gloved hands and inspected it. He grunted inquisitively.

"Say, Darius, where do you suppose 'Novia' is?"

"Dunno, Lucius," the second Guardsman replied in a much deeper voice, leaning on the extended barrel of his sniper lasgun casually. "Sounds pleasant, though."

"That it does. You're good." Lucius said, handing what he perceived as a simple passport back to Dave and smiling warmly before stepping aside and motioning for the gates to be opened ever so slightly. The massive doors creaked open, revealing a slat in the design large enough for the two tourists to enter.

@Abattoir:

Artorian parked his small merchant craft inside the hangar bay of the ruined vessel. He shouldered his autogun and kept a hand on his power scimitar just in case anything went awry, which it often did in his line of work. He began to delve through his surroundings, often kicking over objects with a subtle nudge of his boot hoping to uncover something shiny or of considerable gilded quality. He muttered many curses as he ventured deeper into the hulk, the crunching of the ancient machine following him like a chorus of haunting voices.

@Kaligar Roxom :

The two of them entered past the gates, engaging in some small talk while something watched them from the shadows, namely, the camouflaged form of Nufai the defiler, who was charged by Kamal, scourge of the Milky way, to manage a Hierarchy spy ring on the world of Praetor in preparation for the now inevitable conflict between the invading Zolkri and the Symaarians. "Why does it always have to be Nufai..." he mumbled in an almost whining voice as he tried to sneak past some more guards, his long, lanky form hanging down low. "Wow...this place is huge!" Jade said with an awed tone, used to either cramped spaceships or the vast outdoors, this...hive being an entirely new experience for her. "Yeah, Symaarian hives are built like that." Dave responded, with Nufai looked around a corner and narrowing his camouflaged eyes at the pair. One of the Novians, great, he though as Jade briefly stopped to sniff the air, causing a jolt of panic to rise through Nufai's cowardly spine before she shook her head and went on, hand in hand with Dave to try and find some place to eat in the upper hives. Nufai decided to follow them, he had some folks in the nobility to try and cajole into working for the hierarchy, the ever cowardly alien taking each long step nervously to try and avoid bumping into anyone and giving his presence away.
