Edit History

Background
 

Born amidst the vast plains of Chogoris, Degei emerged from the nomadic tribes that roamed its expansive landscapes. In his formative years, he learned the ways of his people, aiding his father in the management of their herd under the open skies. It was during one fateful night, upon their return to the ger camp, that destiny intervened. A raiding party descended upon their tribe under the cover of darkness, plunging them into chaos and bloodshed. Driven by instinct and a fierce determination to defend his kin, Degei unleashed a torrent of psychic energy in the heat of battle, inadvertently engulfing half the camp in flames. It was this cataclysmic event that revealed his latent psychic abilities and marked him as a psyker.

Recognized by the watchful eyes of the White Scars observers amidst the chaos of battle, Degei was granted the opportunity to undergo the trials that would shape his destiny. Though he did not rise to the top of his class, his tenacity, skill, and a stroke of fortune saw him through, earning him the esteemed rank of Neophyte and paving the way for his participation in the sacred ritual of the Blooding.

Over the course of the following decade, Degei's path as a full-fledged Astartes and Stormseer has been one of action and service to his Legion. While he has yet to partake in the grand battles that define the Crusade's glory, his skills have been honed in the smaller-scale operations within his Brotherhood of the Storm. His missions have ranged from exploratory scouting expeditions to precision strikes, raiding parties, assassinations, and delaying actions.

Personality

The young Degei exudes an unmistakable sense of eagerness to fight for his Khan and the Emperor. He also displays flexibility in both his approach to warfare and his interactions with others. Degei is often willing to try new strategies, tactics or techniques, and is willing to entertain unconventional solutions to the challenges faced by the Adeptus Astartes. He does have a certain willingness to take risks, either on the cuff because the situation calls for it, or in planning, where he would go for the plan which would cut off the snakes-head instead of a slow and steady purge of the snake. That said, he has the mind of a hunter; patience and situational awareness is as important as knowing when to strike.

Trained as a Stormseer, Degei has undergone rigorous training in harnessing the warp, instilling in him a cautious reverence for its unpredictable powers. He adheres closely to the teachings of his mentors, recognizing the importance of 'sipping, not drinking' from the well of psychic energy to avoid succumbing to the perils of the Immaterium.

Degei's sense of justice and honor is deeply rooted in his Legion's traditions and his nomadic heritage.He takes pride in his heritage and reveres the Great Khan with unwavering loyalty.

Outside of combat, Degei finds solace in the serenity of nature, enjoying rides or drives through open countryside and stargazing beneath the night sky, though such moments of tranquility are rare amidst the relentless demands of duty. He does regularly indulges in song, something he also uses in his interactions with the Empyrean, something which helps him commune with the spirits of the land and the air.

Description

Degei possesses a lithe and compact frame, a contrast to the towering bulk of most his Astartes brethren. His chestnut brown hair, worn to a medium length, frames a face marked by the rigors of battle. A short, well-kept beard adorns his chin, adding to the ruggedness of his appearance. His features are defined by a round face, accentuated by a rather flat nose, above which a prominent scar cuts across his brow, splitting midway before converging at its end. Beneath thick eyebrows, his fierce brown eyes gleam with determination and resolve.

Outside of his Mark 4 Crusade Armor, Degei dons a practical yet dignified deel, a nod to his nomadic heritage. His armor colors white with crimson accents and is adorned with a myriad of insignia, emblems, and relics that bear testament to his devotion to the Emperor and his Legion. In addition, the armor bears the stains of past battles, blood seeping into its very fibers, a haunting reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of duty and honor. It also emits a cacophony of unsettling sounds—whines, shrieks, grumbles, and screeches—as he moves, instilling a sense of dread in those who face him on the battlefield.

Background
 

Born as a native of Chogoris, Degei was part of a nomadic tribe. During his early adolescent, he helped his father managing the herd. One time, when they returned late at night to the ger camp, they arrived just when a raiding party attacked the camp. Degei and his father rushed in to help their tribe. Beset by fury, rage and determination, Degei charged the raiding party and involuntarily set ablaze half the camp. This was the incident that identified him as a psyker. This was the incident where he was noticed by the White Scars observers, and they allowed him to participate in the trials. Though he was never at the top of his class, through skill, determination and luck, he survived and thrived, allowing him to become a Neophyte and eventually to participate in the Blooding.

Now, 10 years after he has participated in the Blooding where he became a full Astartes and Stormseeker. During that time he has seen plenty action, but mostly within smaller operations, all limited to his own brotherhood of the storm. He has yet to participate in the large scale battles the Crusade is known for, and mostly participated in exploratory scouting, probing, raiding, assassination and delaying actions, rather than full-scale assaults

Personality

Young and eager, Degei is keen to fight for the Khan and the Emperor. He is flexible in his tactical approaches, often willing to try new tactics or techniques. He does have a certain willingness to take risks, either on the cuff because the situation calls for it, or in planning, where he would go for the plan which would cut off the snakes-head instead of a slow and steady purge of the snake. That said, he has the mind of a hunter; patience and situational awareness is as important as knowing when to strike.

With regards to the warp, he is a lot more cautious. He has been taught time and time again to sip, not drink and these teachings he holds dear.

Dergei also has a highly developed sense of justice and honour and values the traditions of his people and his legion. He is proud of his legion and of the Great Khan.

When not in combat, he likes riding or driving through open country side, watch the night sky and sing. Though it is a rare day he can perform the first two.

Description

Degei is relatively small and lithely build, for an Astartes that is. He has chestnut brown hair of medium length, and a short, well-kept beard. His face is round and and he has a rather flat nose. A large white scar runs across it, splitting off half-way and joining at the end. Below thick eye-brows are a pair of fierce brown-eyes. When out of armour, he wears a practical, mostly unadorned traditional deel. His Mark 4 Crusade Armour is white with red accents, and adorned with various insignia, emblems, charms and reliquaries. In addition, various components of the armour are replaced with parts which seem to have blood stains embedded within them, impossible to remove. The armour also whines, shrieks, grumbles and screeches when moving, creating an eerie and frightening sound. This effect is enhanced even more when fielding an jump pack he often favours for the extra mobility.

Background

Born as a native of Chogoris, Degei was part of a nomadic tribe. During his early adolescent, he helped his father managing the herd. One time, when they returned late at night to the ger camp, they happened to notice a raiding party approaching the camp. He recklessly charged into the party. This caused enough confusion and noise that the camp could prepare themselves and fend off the attackers. This action caught the attention of the White Scars observers, and they allowed him to participate in the trials. Though he was never at the top of his class, through skill, determination and luck, he survived and thrived, allowing him to become a Neophyte and eventually to participate in the Blooding.

Personality

Young and eager, Degei is keen to fight for the Khan and the Emperor, and has a willingness to take risks. He is not stupid, but he has a high willingness for risk when the pay-off seems worth it. This is also not to say that he doesn't value planning, but even in planning, he would go for the plan which would cut off the snakes-head instead of a slow and steady purge of the snake. That said, he has the mind of a hunter; patience and situational awareness is as important as knowing when to strike.

Dergei also has a highly developed sense of justice and honour and values the traditions of his people and his legion. He is proud of his legion and of the Great Khan. Then again, despite traveling to warzones for about 10 years now, and despite learning and reading about the rest of the imperium, I doubt he has had the opportunity to come in contact with a lot of other cultures, thus he knows little else besides his own and is certainly curious.

When not in combat, he likes riding or driving through open country side, watch the night sky and sing. Though it is a rare day he can perform the first two.
