The Corroded Maiden, upon meeting RWBYJ: Once I gladly called your kind worthy of adoration, but look how far you have fallen. Your forebears could withstand leviathan after leviathan, but what are you? Children, humming lullabies, clinging to your toys, Wailing against the walls of a world you have no CONCEPTION OF! You are weak, frail, you are not worthy of the title "Hunter." Your fear the New and the Strange as a baby fears the darkness.

The Corroded Maiden: I was there when Organics stood at the brink of Unity, and it returns to me, to show itself sunk once more into fear and disarray.

The Corroded Maiden: You appall me.

I finished coding my Rogue Trader character sheet template! It's now open sourced on GitHub 🤖

☆ Features

Display your character's stats in (almost) the same way as you've seen in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader CRPG

Multiple sections for character building:

Summary: Character origin info, alignment level, history, and biography.

Features: Show off your build by listing abilities & talents that your character has gained throughout the course of the game.

Inventory: Your Rogue Trader's equipment, armour, etc. goes here.

Relations: Detail the relationship of your Rogue Trader and their retinue members.

Gallery: Place to show off your fanart, commissioned art, fanfics, playlist. Anything goes!

Cool floating servo skulls (only visible in certain screen sizes).

Responsive. Not horrible to look at even in small screens.

☆ Requirements

You would need a static site hosting service for this to work. I recommend Neocities or GitHub pages. Both are free.

Some experience with using npm.

Some experience with basic HTML and JS object/JSON is recommended.

I really wish that it's easier to use and set up, but it's just not possible due to the tech stack I chose initially... I did write a beginner's tutorial on the repository's wiki, but I don't know if it makes sense to normal people who do not code... If you have any questions, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Tech stack: SvelteKit, SCSS, TypeScript

Bonus:

Name too long? No problem :)

Hi, i was wondering if you could give some insight on to how Warhammer 40K naming conventions work? I have been searching and i have found really confusing info, so if you could help i would be really grateful.😭

Hi anon! Yeah I feel you, I was a bit lost at first. Honestly I can't give you a "100% Warhammer 40k" answer because what I did was look for real life name affixes, look into names that pop up in WH40k lore, and names specifically in Rogue Trader.

This page here was a good start.

Through this link it was a bit easier to understand the use of "van" and "von" (taken from Dutch and German affixes):

This led me to assumption one: While "van" can be for anyone (just like Heinrix became van Calox after being disowned), "von" might be restricted to nobility, specially on the level of a Rogue Trader (von Valancius).

The use of "van" doesn't seem limited to a sector, it can be for anything that is relevant to the character's originated location. You could probably use a Voidship's name for a voidborn.

Then we got "af". Theodora is Theodora von Valancius Massimo af Scarus, an Imperial Sector. A Noble!RT is [Name] Aeos Venria de Vahl af Calixis, another Imperial Sector. In both of these and in other instances, it shows up at the end of the name structure. It also seems to be limited for nobility, based on the characters it appears.

Because Cerys does not come from a known Sector but rather a binary star system, I noticed that some of these people had a planet name right after their name (even if they have "af" at the end).

Faisal Rykadi ab Medineh af Koronus

Vistenza Janus Vyatt ab Aram af Koronus

This got me to assumption two: I don't know if Rykadi was intentional from Rykad, but I enjoyed the idea that it indicates a system origin. So my personal twist came to be and I added "Tallarni" for Cerys Tallarni, to indicate her origins due to lack of a proper Sector, without using "van".

Both these names also make use of "ab", which seems to be patronymic in some cultures:

Assumption number three: Medineh and Aram are probably the founding fathers of these people's respective families. It also shows after the System Origin and what seems to be just a surname.

All of this craziness seems to be most common among nobility. A lot of other characters, even ones who ascended to nobility, have a pretty normal name structure. Abelard Werserian, CrimeLord!RT being Stubbs, Militarum!RT being Scipio-Grimald, etc. So honestly, just do what your heart desires.

Cerys for example was simply Cerys Scipio Al-Rachad before becoming Rogue Trader, since the patronymic "Al-" shows up in some Tallarn Desert Raider characters and matches the ethnic inspiration.

So I guess the break down I settled on was:

[Name] [System/Planet] [Surname] [Patronymic] [Dynasty/Family] [Origin/Sector]

Cerys Tallarni Scipio ab Rachad von Valancius

Which is still not perfect because Theodora, for example, does not follow that by having von Valancius right after her name, though I suppose it could just mean she was born directly into the dynasty.

As a side note and complete headcanon, I like the idea that van Sector might work for Imperium Servants who were disowned, like Heinrix, just like Westerosi give bastards a surname by region. So by joining the ranks of the Inquisition and not just being a regular joe anymore, he got van Calox for maybe working in the Calixis Sector, or by being there when that promotion happened.

[feeeeeeeeeesh]

Controversial opinion: Corax’s Chaos god would’ve been Khorne

I honestly don’t see how Corax can betray the Emperor at all (unless his entire backstory is changed) but I had a Thought

1）Several times in the novels he’s been described as smiling while killing traitors, and it’s probably the happiest he’s been since the dropsite massacre

2）If a regular berserker is angry and wants to kill everything, then a Raven Guard with the sable brand is depressed and wants to kill everything

3）The tactics of the XIXth legion before Corax’s return was quite straightforward in its violence, and so are some of the successor chapters formed from these original Terran Raven Guards (eg Carcharodons)

4）Post-Heresy he would compare himself to Angron, and they’ve had tactical discussions before the Heresy. There are also obvious parallels between their backstories, and perhap they are designed as foils to each other, but I don’t think Corax and Angron had any other interactions beyond Isstvan V.

5) The first thing baby Corax did coming out of his incubation pod was to rip off a prison guard’s head and give it to this girl as a gift. During his childhood, when faced with a problem his first thought is usually “but I can kill them”

Konrad, torturing some poor prisoner, smiling madly: I know two hundred ways to kill a man! Oh, which one to choose... Moira, sitting on the chair in the pretty dress her daddy picked up for her, in the most innocent voice possible: You could glue an open jar of rats to his face! Then blowtorch the other side of the jar, so the rats have to eat their way out through his face! Prisoner: 😨

Konrad: ... Konrad, wiping tears of pride: *sniffles* Two hundred and one.

what have i done 😂

[like-tears-in-rain-storms]

"I used to have a son, you know." On the way to Tsagualsa aboard the "Sheldroon", Curze reminisces about Sevatar. Elver, as usual, suffers for it. But suffering is the sole privilege of no one.

Ok guys, who is in the mood to get absolutely FUCKED UP on angst and Night Lord daddy issues? (with a general helping of the tornado of horror and feels that is Konrad Curze?)
