He&apos;s average height for a Primaris, and about average build.  He has grey eyes and grey hair, and significant facial scarring.  The front of his chest would show the shadow of the Black Carapace, and his body, including the back of his head, has a series of circular ports, where his armor connects to the Carapace.    &lt;/details&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;details open=&quot;open&quot;&gt;&lt;summary style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;&quot;&gt;Personality&lt;/summary&gt;  	He grew up on Talassar, and left home by the age of ten, to make the pilgrimage, alone, to become one of the Astartes. We know from canon that he feels his family is a source of shame and ignominy and that&apos;s why he clings so hard to honor and courage.           Becoming an Astartes also includes a great deal of hypnoindoctrination, which at one level helps him to control his Astartes organs, but also, just between you and me, there&apos;s a WEE bit of brainwashing going on there.  Like all Ultramarines, he affirms daily that it is his duty to fight and die for the Emperor and the Imperium.   &lt;/details&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;details open=&quot;open&quot;&gt;&lt;summary style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;&quot;&gt;Abilities&lt;/summary&gt; 	&lt;a href=&quot;https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Creation_of_a_Space_Marine&quot;&gt;Standard Primaris Astartes Organs&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;&quot;&gt;Things that Make Him Hard To Kill&lt;/h3&gt; 	Belisarian Furnace&lt;br /&gt;         Sinew Coils&lt;br /&gt;         Larraman&apos;s Organ&lt;br /&gt;          Oolitic Kidney&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;h3 style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;&quot;&gt;Freaky Abilities&lt;/h3&gt; 	Lyman&apos;s Ear&lt;br /&gt;         Multilung&lt;br /&gt;         Betcher&apos;s Glands&lt;br /&gt;         Praemnor&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;h3 style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;&quot;&gt;Random Stuff&lt;/h3&gt; 	Occulobe&lt;br /&gt;         Omophagea&lt;br /&gt;         Black Carapace&lt;br /&gt;         Catalepsean Node&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/details&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;details open=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;summary style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;&quot;&gt;Friends &amp;amp; Alliances&lt;/summary&gt;  &lt;ul style=&quot;list-style:square;&quot;&gt; 	&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/details&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;details open=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;summary style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;&quot;&gt;Enemies &amp;amp; Rivals&lt;/summary&gt;  &lt;ul style=&quot;list-style:square;&quot;&gt; 	&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/details&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;details open=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;summary style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;&quot;&gt;History&lt;/summary&gt; 	TBD   &lt;/details&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;details open=&quot;open&quot;&gt;&lt;summary style=&quot;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding:0 0 2px 0;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;color:#000;font-weight:bold;cursor:pointer;&quot;&gt;Gallery&lt;/summary&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;-webkit-column-count:3;-webkit-column-gap:15px;-moz-column-count:3;-moz-column-gap:15px;column-count:3;column-gap:15px;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;width:95%!important;margin-bottom:5px;padding:2%;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);-webkit-column-break-inside:avoid;page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1-xm4sujhks/hqdefault.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; 	It is always these three&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=&quot;width:95%!important;margin-bottom:5px;padding:2%;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);-webkit-column-break-inside:avoid;page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W2ajsEf40vI/maxresdefault.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; 	Oops I tried to kill my lieutenant&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=&quot;width:95%!important;margin-bottom:5px;padding:2%;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);-webkit-column-break-inside:avoid;page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ozvSrtwYKWQ/maxresdefault.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; 	Healthy coping skills&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/details&gt;  &lt;div style=&quot;margin-top:20px;font-size:11px;text-align:center;letter-spacing:1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Code&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://tessisamess.insanejournal.com/&quot; style=&quot;color:#000;text-decoration:none;&quot;&gt;Tessisamess&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=thecodexabides&amp;ditemid=2064&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>CHARACTER NAME: Valorem Gadriel (Sergeant)&lt;br /&gt;CHARACTER SERIES: Warhammer 40K&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;[OOC]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Backtagging&lt;/b&gt;:Yes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Threadhopping&lt;/b&gt;: Yes. The point of RP is CR and that means people butting into people&apos;s conversations sometimes! Hop in, argue with each other, argue with Gadriel on behalf of someone else...whatever you want.  CR is CR!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fourthwalling&lt;/b&gt;: Yes though I feel sorry for you if you know this much canon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Offensive subjects (elaborate)&lt;/b&gt;: Nothing offends me to the point of needing to be warned.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tagging speed&lt;/b&gt; I normally boomerang but I read somewhere that people find that obnoxious and stresses them out, so I am trying to not do that anymore or as much.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;NB&lt;/b&gt;  I presume all unanswered tags are dropped by you. I will not poke you or pressure you in any way if you do not tag back, I will presume you do not want to continue that interaction.  Which is your right! RP is supposed to be fun! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;[IC]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hugging this character&lt;/b&gt;: If you want&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kissing this character&lt;/b&gt;: Hope you&apos;re tall, but sure.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flirting with this character&lt;/b&gt;: His idea of flirting is bringing you things he&apos;s killed and has spent zero time in his life around romance/love any of that, so...good luck? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sex with this character&lt;/b&gt; No.  It&apos;s caused too much drama and I&apos;m shit at writing it apparently.  He&apos;s aro ace unless something really special happens like a canon mate.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fighting with this character&lt;/b&gt;: It is the most IC option so yes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Injuring this character (include limits and severity)&lt;/b&gt;: Yes. Warhammer canon is variable on this and Primaris Astartes are complicated so if you want to hurt him feel free to DM and we can work out how to do it. I can tell you the weak points in his armor, or other ways to get done what you want to do.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Killing this character&lt;/b&gt;: I&apos;m up for it but please DM so we can work out a timeline and see if it makes sense and keep in mind...there&apos;s gonna be consequences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character&lt;/b&gt;: Without permission: sure if you don&apos;t mind the negative CR that follows.  With permission: sure.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warnings&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Members of the Adeptus Astartes are basically taken when children, forced to survive incredibly difficult physical challenges that often lead to death for those who do not succeed. Their prize is a series of incredibly painful surgeries and being brainwashed into killing machines.  There is a LOT of violence in this canon. Like...&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwSbcO9FHgI&quot;&gt;ludicrous amounts of violence&lt;/a&gt;. And he&apos;s seen a lot of death.  He views it as his absolute duty to die, as his service to the Emperor.  The specific game he comes from is very gory. &lt;br /&gt;Also Warhammer has things like Cherubs (cloned babies that have been mutilated to look like cyborgs) and servitors (mindwiped slaves) and their &apos;computers&apos; (cogitators) are basically wired human brains, and all this is seen as totally normal, and Adeptus Mechanicus who hate having human bodies and replace theirs increasingly with machinery so there&apos;s like...a ton of body horror that Gadriel just thinks is, well, normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NB: Warhammer is a godawful canon and Gadriel is a product of it. Sometimes he can be a little rough. I would rather delete and retag a thousand times than ruin plans you have made, or make your character think something they don&apos;t want to, etc. etc.  Please communicate with me, OOC, before you decide you hate me.
