This story features several characters who are not of my creating, but are those of several friends on a forum I participate in.
The characters are part of an RPG and as such have developed 'personalities' as the RPing has progressed, this is a list of the characters and a very short description, so as to help avoid confusion when the story begins.
The story is of an elitist Imperial Guard kill-team named the 29th Cadian. The characters who participate in the story are as follows:
Thomas "Torch" Irving – CO of the 29th Cadian, close support.
Creator: Über
Drake Begums – 2nd of the 29th Cadian, a daemon of Slaanesh has taken to him, close support.
Creator: Snot
James Tiberius Reynold – Commisar of the 29th Cadian, kinder than the average commissar, close combatant.
Creator: Gunney
Grade Brostin – Junior officer of the 29th Cadian, close combatant.
Creator: Grode Ironjaw
Todd William Halo – Medic of the 29th Cadian, not that good at combat.
Creator: Halocombat33
Experiment 342 "Tempest", formerly Jonathan Caine – Experimental super soldier, assigned to the 29th Cadian, close combatant.
Creator: Über
Nathan "Nova" Caine – Jonathan Caine's brother, very protective of Tempest, close combatant.

Garius Mackius – Friend of Todd Halo, close combatant, tends to go slightly mad with battle lust during a fight.
Creator: Hector the Smiter
Alexander "Twit" Knoff – Heavy weapons specialist, alienates everyone else by his incessant talking.
Creator: NecronKid
Adam Adams – Heavy weapons specialist, the opposite of Knoff, quiet and unimposing, yet the two can never be separated.
Creator: Über
Sturm Waylan – Fairly new arrival to the 29th Cadian, close range support, has a stubborn, by the book, streak.
Creator: InsertNameHere
'Hector' – Part of the same experiment program as Tempest, joined the 29th Cadian after turning against a radical inquisitor who was Todd Halo's brother, close support.
Creator: Hector the Smiter
'Cassie' – Also part of the super soldier experiment and joined the 29th Cadian with Hector, close support.
Creator: Halocombat33
Ephassus Mann – Sanctioned psyker, another new addition to the 29th Cadian, annoyingly knows what people are going to say before they say it.
Creator: Outlander
Ryan Schmidt – Close combatant, occasionally possessed by a daemon of Tzeentch, which has possessed a chain blade which Ryan is bound to, has shared this secret only with Zariel, and lately, Todd Halo too.
Creator: Farseer Ryan
Zariel Aurel – Sniper, a friendly sort, shares in Ryan's secret as they are the best of friends.
Creator: SoulfulPlainStrider (yeah, that's my character)
Daan "Outlander" Kessler – KIA, was killed while under the possession of his daemon.
Creator: Outlander
I'll appreciate any and all reviews, and without further ado, let the adventure begin.
Note: I'm working on turnin the rest of the RPG into a story so keep a look out for that.
