Being a Sister Builds Character
There are many types of Sisters in the Sorority of Violence. Scrap-loving punks, determined warriors, cunning rogues, and bloodthirsty crazies are just some of them. This section explores what sort of persona your Sister will emulate as you create her. Though really, put yourself into her, because, as I've mentioned before, I like to think of the Sorority as the 41st Millennium descendants of their models. It's a tad difficult to create a definitive reference system for classifying Sisters by personality, since some categories are too narrow or too broad, but this is the best one I can come up with.
There are three overarching personas, with "Positive" and "Negative" sub-classes. They are…
Brawlers
These Sisters are the kind who, in short, live the Sorority's philosophy more than they ponder it. Fights and battles have no deep, personal meaning to them. It's just what they do as followers of Khorne, of course, with the added bonuses of being fun, a game between friends, or an opportunity to build their trophy collection.
Positive Brawlers tend to be in a good mood most of the time, ranging from quiet serenity to crazed, hysterical joy. Are generally friendly, so long as you're one of the Sorority. Frenzy, Lacerator, Knives, and Huntress are examples.
Negative Brawlers, by contrast, are a sort of counterpoint to the Positives. Are often aloof or prefer to be alone, and when they are interacting with others, are either laconic or outright unpleasant. Combat, and life in general, isn't always fun, and sometimes feels like a chore to them. Cutthroat, Bloodmaw, and Bonesaw are examples.
Mistress Massacre is something of both types.
Soldiers
Sisters that fall into the "Soldier" category are the zealots of the Sorority, being more hot-blooded or emotional, obsessive, and less fearful of death than others. Combat holds a deeper, more personal meaning to them, something greater than a source of entertainment. They've got a mission in life, and their scars, which are more likely to be self-inflicted, are testament to their commitment.
Positive Soldiers are the Sorority's glory-seekers, having pride in their martial prowess, and believe that they are destined for greatness in some way. For some, it's to be the best and gain Khorne's approval, for others, it's not so much gain approval of Khorne but fear from the Sorority's enemies, and for a few selfless Sisters, to be the defender of her Sisterhood. If you were to ask them, "What are you trying to prove?" they'd defiantly answer, "You wrong!" Carnage, Artemis, and a fair amount of Greymanes are examples.
Negative Soldiers, when asked that question, will glumly answer, "Myself right." They are seeking vindication, redemption, or vengeance, and punish themselves for every mistake made. They often hold themselves to extremely high standards, have suicidal commitment, and a degree of self-loathing. Executioner, and other Sisters who were very close to their recently-killed mother/daughter are examples.
Bloodmane herself was a bit of both.
Savants
The closest thing the Sorority has to intellectuals, mystics, and artists, these Sisters are often lost in their own thoughts, have a natural curiosity, are more creative in decorating weapons, and it's not uncommon for them to have a fondness for or a degree of connection with nature.
Positive Savants are the more sociable ones, willing to express their thoughts or share their artwork to others, and can be surprisingly deep or eloquent for uneducated bandits. Frostbite and Skadi are examples.
Negative Savants are those who are typically zoned out and rarely talk, or when they do, they whisper or mumble to themselves. Many are also prone to episodes of complex or unusual expressions of their already unconventional thoughts or, alternatively, emotional outbursts of varying intensity. Legion is an example.
Hopefully this will give you all a template from which you can develop a personality for your Sisters.
