Character Creation Rules
- Banned Characters: Primarchs, Daemon Primarchs, Chaos Gods, C'Tan, Perpetuals, High Lords of Terra, Named Lore Characters, Men of Iron, Krorks, Ancients, Necron Overlords, Beta Plus or higher Psykers, Any obsolete/retconned lore (e.g. Children of the Emperor)
- Restricted Characters: Chapter Masters/Warband Leaders, Beta and above level Psykers, Imperial Assassins, Greater Daemons, Living Saints, Daemon Princes, Princeps, Chaos/Imperial Knights, Daemonhosts, Adeptus Custodes
- Especially for human/humanoid/transhuman factions, 10.000 year old characters are exceedingly rare and therefore are only valid as background or fluff characters for narrative.
- Lore-accuracy and theme. While the forum is encouraging to find and engage in your own stories, create lore, places and characters - the stories still take place within the Warhammer 40.000 universe, theme and setting.
- No Crossovers, like with Star Wars, Halo, Helldivers, Mass Effect etc
- No Lore-breaking, like peaceful Orks, female Astartes, fallen Custodes, Grey Knights or Sisters of Silence, individual sentience or personalities of Tyranids
- We will add to the list on the go, please be aware and reserve the right to deny or ban something that has already been active if it should violate any of this during RP.
- No creating or claiming of weapons, armor, artifacts etc that are 'named' (like the Emperor's Sword, Vulkan's Artifacts, Drach'nyen etc). They are not accessible to PCs.
- The usage of planet destroying weapons is restricted to Exterminatus-labelled threads and requires prior admin approval.
- While Warhammer 40.000 is known for its grimdark setting in which certain excesses are excessively displayed - we do not permit any form of smut, dirty, excessively gore, torture porn, explicit sexual content in regards to Slaanesh, Nurgle, Drukhari and the likes.
