Dark Heresy assassin character help
« on: December 19, 2011, 08:09:35 AM »
Hey, I am new RPGs - About to start a Dark Heresy campaign with a few mates
I am just wondering if any one knows of any good websites where I van get ideas for names for writing my back story
I have got the basic outline to how my character - assassin - became one, just needs names to use as planet & system and also characters I gonna mention in his back story

So if any one knows a good website I can look on, or have a list they can post would be great

Thank you in advance

The Dark Heresy Rulebook has a pretty good description of the Calixis Sector (the default setting) - if that's the region you're using.

Beyond that, it depends - even a single world is so huge you can have areas other inhabitants have never heard of!

Have a look here for a guide to the region: http://app.fantasyflightgames.com/dark-heresy/calixis.shtml

If wanting to be a classic 'courtly assassin' an ideal homeworld is Malfi - it's the capital of the Malfian subsector and up to its silk-beruffled neck in noble vendettas that turn lethal at the drop of a hat. Get hold of the Inquisitor's Handbook for the Noble Born homeworld to be a nobleman yourself or use the Hive Worlder homeworld to be a 'hired specialist'.


Ascension has an adventure set on Malfi but it's a very high level - for inquisitors and interrogators, not low-rank minions - but the named individuals will be people you know. They won't know you, but you'll know of them - the Venerable Cal, for example, is a pious old wheelchair-bound goat who is the head of the ecclesiarchy on Malfi and one of the Sector Synod - the ruling body of the calixian secotr church.

Well I am not a noble man
I am using the assassin character from the core rule book
Just using the noble bit as background to him

Thank you for the help Locarno
Very grateful
 :D

Fair enough.  ;D
(the noble-born is an awesome homeworld, but more for a scholar, priest or scummer with the social skills to make use of the egregious moneys...)

Have fun!

I not a noble-born, I am using the assassin class
Just using noble-born as his back ground leading to why he became a killer of sorts
Not neccassarily an asssassin but a killer after joining a gang, screwing them over, and got noticed by an inquister who could use his talents

Going over mates who GM'ing so gonna 'aquire' his copy of DH core book and get names and planets
Once it written up, I'll post it here and see what ya think, if I get time before he needs it

If you want an interesting 'in' to the group, how about his having accepted a contract on an individual who (rather awkwardly) turned out to be the Inquisitor?

That last reply sounds interesting
Cheers Locarno
I am seeing mate who is the Inquisitor (and GM) today, so may bring it up

Also want the gang to be after me, as my initial idea was running off with their prized possession of a Harlequin Kiss
(GM has allowed me to have one :P )
So could take the H.Kiss to fulfill the contract, don't return obviously, and so he may be able to write in campaign
Or side mission
Where members of my gang come after to me

Cheers all

I have started writing it, so once it done I shall post it up
