Backstory: Basically a highborn psyker boy is sent away from a life of comfort and opulence to die aboard the black ship, a shame on his family to be forgotten. But he doesn't die, he lives, he thrives. He taps into the warp and becomes both a powerful pyromancer and banisher. Wielding rage and holy zeal, when he leaves the black ship he joins the Witch hunters of the Ecclisiarchy and becomes a Crusader, hunting with sword, spell and flame the forces of the Ruinous Powers.

 

Vision: Sensing the warp and hunting witches and Daemons. Gaius would have an innate sense for his prey, and would always be ready to call upon the flame of the emperor to purge their existence. Or to get some answers first. A merciless crusader with a single minded focus and savagery when it comes to bringing judgement to those who fall to the Ruinous Powers.

Pyromancer Savant, meaning he is naturally attuned to the power of flame and uses it with extreme prejudice.

Daemon Hunter, a scholar and devout worshipper of the emperor, Gaius uses ancient spells to shape the warp specifically to smite Daemons.

[LFG Dark Heresy 2.0]

So me and another player are looking for a 2.0 game. Grimdark is okay, but we are hoping for a campaign that doesn't just punish players constantly. A good minimal life expectancy being around 3 sessions. Enough to give a well established character a shot at being played out.

Characters are a Pyromancy Psyker Crusader from a "noble" family and his rogue trader sister. The kind of campaign doesn't matter much, though while the other player is very experienced, I am fairly new to 40K in general. Years of RP experience however.

Would hopefully use all the current expansions, (within, without, beyond). Will have to be run through Skype or PbP for the moment, due to technical difficulties on my end.
