I was thinking of making and or joining an RP featured in either the Warhammer Fantasy or Warhammer 40k universes. Before you ask, I am (in my own opinion) fairly experienced with the lore and setting. Experienced in Warhammer 40k, that is. I know little about Warhammer Fantasy but I included it here as a suggestion.
If you don't know, Warhammer 40,000 is a long running tabletop wargame set millenniums into the future, where humanity has formed into a zealous empire known as the Imperium of Man, serving under the word of the God-Emperor of Mankind whom sits as a rotting corpse upon the Golden Throne in the Imperial Palace of Holy Terra.
The setting is known for being over-the-top and very, very, grim and dark. Almost every situation in the setting involves either war and destruction. It mainly focuses on the Imperium of Man and the sub-factions within, but there are other playable species and armies that act as constant enemies of the Imperium. These include...
Traitor Legions/The Eye of Terror/Forces of Chaos: Basically, anyone who worships Chaos is an enemy to the Imperium. They worship the four dark gods of chaos and scorn the Imperium and their "Corpse Emperor"
Orks: Big, green, killing machines. The second most numerous race in the galaxy, and -sweet emperor- do they come in numbers.
Eldar: Ancient space elves. See all other races as inferior, even though they fucked themselves (literally) over a couple years back.
Dark Eldar: Edgy angsty grim Eldar with extremely kinky themes of torture and stuff. They harvest souls and feed them to the Chaos God of Slaanesh to avoid getting eaten by him/her/it
Tau: The least grimdark of the warring species and factions, they worship the philosophical idea of the Greater Good and try to peacefully introduce the Greater Good to other species and cultures. Oh, and they are commies.
Necrons: My personal favorite, they are essentially souless metal egyptian zombie skeletors that fought the Eldar in an ancient war and have recently emerged to claim the galaxy they once owned, through extermination.
Tyranids: The original zerg. Giant space locusts that cruise the galaxy in massive Hive Fleets and consume every planet they come across.
I suggest you go and find a wiki to read up on the setting, there is much more to it and a good understanding of the lore will get us a good RP
So, what do you folks think?
