Welcome to the /tg/ OC thread.
Previous Thread: >>47510823
Tell us about your original characters, new and old. Let's hear some stories of valor and glory and build some legends in here.
>THIS THREAD IS PRIMARILY FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND SHOWING OFF YOUR FAVORITES FROM YOUR GAMES
It's like the Storythread, but centered on characters that we all know and help make. Your Original Character can be any character you've played, are playing, or want to play!
>WHEN POSTING YOUR OC
Give us a little blurb about your character, this is a brag thread after all. Some basic questions to get you started:
• Name:
• Role(s):
• Goals:
• Traits:
• Flaws:
• Allies:
• Enemies:
• Other Relations:
• Physical Description:
Write and share stories about each others' characters (use a pastebin for works that would take up multiple posts). Draw and share pictures of each others' characters (please link offsite in the event of NSFW work).
Ask questions about other anons characters and get to know their stories, and tell us all about your own.
Need help developing a new character concept? Ask away!
This thread is intended to be all in good spirit, so please remember to be excellent to each other, and try to contribute in some way. If you can't draw, write something for someone and vice/versa.
>CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT QUESTION
Which tarot card best reflects your OC?
>IF YOU JUST NEED CHARACTER ART, GO TO THE DRAW THREAD
There are more artists consistently there that are actively looking for requests to fill, that's not the case here.
>DON'T MAKE A NEW THREAD UNTIL PAGE 10
Use art from these threads as OP image when possible.
>>47522582
Also, please vote among these 15 characters to determine who goes into the OC thread pastebin to be added to the next OP. This will help writers needing quick reference of the characters, and can also serve as an emergency NPC folder if needed.
http://www.strawpoll.me/10349594
You can vote on multiple characters, only the top 10 go in.
So I just woke up and checked my email, and my day got to one hell of a start because this was waiting for me from Salt. It's everything I wanted and some things I didn't know I wanted on top of that.
>>47520207
>>47520350
Okay, while waiting for any input and/or help on how to flesh out In, I'll bite:
>Which tarot card best reflects your OC?
Six of Swords, reversed:
The six of swords represents a painful but necessary transition, like a rite of passage.
When reversed, it represents the negative aspects of the same, such as being unable to move on past the hardship.

Tell us about your original characters, new and old. Let's hear some stories of valor and glory and you might even see some artwork befitting such heroes!

A bored wizard from the 5th Dimension visits our planet and turns all mythological beings real. Depending on your local folk lore, how fucked are you?
I'm Scandinavian. I'd probably wander into a nearby forest and try to make friends with some elves.
Well I'm in the states, so unless you give us Native American myths I guess all we'd get is Bigfoot and Slendermen
I live in Northeastern USA, so as far as i know we have a shitload of ghost living in abandoned houses, bigfoot, demons, windigos, and some sort of demon that loves booze. As long as you carry around hard scotch and a cross you should be good.

It does seems strange they abandoned those great names for these shitty new ones.
why do orcs have some of the best shields in the game? the way rules don't seem to represent the fluff at all is really annoying
i would really like to have more Elf Hate Content. i post what i got. we can also talk about how much we hate Elves
I hate how they are snobby Fags with some kinda Weeaboo vibe to them. there Fans are all cucks and even in the face of defeat they act like they won.
i think the best settings have Elves as some kinda sub race. or some kinda Slum bums or something weak to kill/genocide.

Actually, wait, what's the point of that kind of thread. Only a retarded faggot would make a thread like this.

/tg/ Drawthread: Even the sword has an eye edition.
Previous thread: >>47477122
Post any art requests you have ITT. Keep in mind, the drawfriends are doing this for fun, so do not be surprised or upset if they gloss over your post. The artists are here to draw what they WANT to draw, not what you THINK should be drawn.
Be patient, and bump your request one time every 24 hours from the time you posted the request. There is no exception to this rule, it doesn't matter if you "have work" or "are going to bed".
DO:
Provide good, detailed references (pictures are better than verbal descriptions), so the artists know what you're looking for as best you can.
Hold off on additional requests after receiving a delivery from an artist, and be mindful of the other requests that might deserve attention.
Mind your manners and say thank you! We appreciate our artists and their amazing work!
DON'T
Don't be an asshole and immediately repost your request because you don't like the FREE art you received.
And for fuck's sake, when someone is being an obvious cunt, DO NOT REPLY TO THEM. All you're doing is wasting bumps and fanning the fire.

>>47503182AKA the no one else would make one edition
requesting an oldschool fantasy bridge troll obliviously taking his time ("Ohh! A penny!") in a greenery/woods type place (like world 1 in a videogame), while in the background on an active volcano (like the final world in a videogame), three figures (one shorter than the other two) are fighting with world-endingly powerful magics.The exact composition in reference image is not obligatory, it's only an example.
Requesting a 40K imperial guardsman for my OW players.
Custom regiment; they're from a water planet and their culture is a heavy amalgamation of ancient Macedonia and the Achaemenid Empire.
The significant bits are the artificial gill implants and the harpoon rifles. I'm yet to decide if the rifles are more akin to TFTD's jet harpoons (sizeable harpoons with a lower rate-of-fire) or a nailgun (although I'm leaning towards the former; both crunch- and fluff-wise), so feel free to design it however you find better (this applies to the implants, too).
The armour should be light (probably chestplates only), plastic looking.
I don't really have any specific ideas on how they should look; a mixture of Macedonian+Haqqislam+Catachan seems to be a good starting point. The players decided that their regiment nickname should be 'Steel Orcas'. I'm not sure if you should include that in some kind of motif. If you have any cool schemes in mind, go ahead.
If you do include an imperial aquila, make it a Persian Faravahar.
Thank you in advance.
Reposting my request from the last thread.
Outfit like pic related except with a breastplate wearing a mask with a hood like the insert pic, preferably blank. If you could toss in a couple of bird like motifs like bird head buckles, feathers, etc. that'd be really appreciated

How rare would it be for an entire star of mechwarriors to be taken as bondsmen as a group? Would the capturing clan spread them out or keep them together, assuming they reinstated them as warriors?
>>47495429
Incredibly uncommon, unless it's a situation like the Harvest Trials of the 3060s, where the Invaders were trialling for whole units to be added to their toumans, and even then, the trialled for units weren't really made bondsmen. The Star would have to be exceptional for it to happen otherwise.
>Would the capturing clan spread them out or keep them together, assuming they reinstated them as warriors?
Likely split up, if it was separate Bondsmasters. But it's a situation I honestly can't recall ever happening, so who knows.
>>47495505
OK, thanks. I've got a couple more clan-related questions if you don't mind:
>1
The clans brought about 100 mackies with them when they left. Did any of them ever turn up? Would it be implausible to find one in a third-rate garrison unit?
>2
What would be some common mechs in a second-line Blood Spirit unit?
>3
Were there ever (c) refits of captured IS tanks, or just mechs?
Thanks a bunch. I've been playing for a while but I'm just now getting into the clan side of the game

On 25 May the supply ship ‘Atlantic Conveyor’ was struck by Argentine Exocet missiles with the loss of its cargo of troop-carrying helicopters. This necessitated a complete change of strategy for the conduct of the campaign. The British would now have to advance on foot to Port Stanley some 50 miles (80km) away in the depths of a South Atlantic winter.
Despite the initial doubts of Brigadier Julian Thompson, commander of 3 Commando Brigade, the decision was taken to capture Darwin and Goose Green, some 13 miles (20km) to the south of San Carlos Water where the British had landed. These two settlements were in the opposite direction to Port Stanley, the main British objective.
There was, however, a substantial Argentine garrison stationed in the area, which could potentially pose a threat to the British advance to Port Stanley. In the early hours of 28 May the 500 men of 2 Para started their advance towards Darwin. The paras were lead by LtC Herbert ‘H’ Jones, and comprised three rifle companies, one patrol company, one support company and an HQ company. Thompson had assigned three 105mm artillery pieces, one MILAN anti-tank missile platoon and Scout helicopters as support elements. In addition, close air support was available from three RAF Harriers, and naval gunfire support was to be provided by HMS Arrow.
The Argentine force consisted of two companies of LtC Italo Piaggi's 12th Infantry Regiment. It also contained a company of the Ranger-type 25th Infantry Regiment. Air defence was provided by a battery of six 20mm Rheinmetall manned by Air Force personnel and two Oerlikon 35mm guns that would be employed in a ground support role in the last stages of the fighting. There was also one battery of three 105mm pack howitzers. Pucarás based at Stanley provided close air support. Total forces under Piaggi's commanded numbered 1083 men.
Welcome to the flake thread!
Previously:
There was some arguing. Story development happened. Shitposting. Troll flakes. You get the idea.

I'm going to respectfully ask that we avoid calling anyone who criticizes our flakes Chillbrass. I'm also going to respectfully ask that we avoid criticizing lore-breaking flakes for more than 10 posts. I'm all for creativity, but generally these posts just tend to repeat the same arguments again and again and shit up the thread. Some shitposting is to be expected. But too much makes the thread not worth it. So let's all work together to make the flake thread better.
