OOC-Answer: Absolutely yay. But I don’t like retconning that they were there all along, give me a reason how and why they came into being. I’m all for advancing technology. I could also accept the two lost Primarchs being female. Would be very in character for the damn Corpse-Emperor to kill off daughters on a whim! Traditional transitioning from male Astartes is also fine.
IC-Answer: Fabius has no bias at all. He has Igori, who is hunting Astartes for sport (well, pack-hunting and not sport but necessity, but still …) and his New Men, despite their name, are equally gifted and equally improved. He also has a female Lieutenant for the fighting arm of his Warband, who may not have been Astartes to begin with, but is now able to hold her own against them. It would be very interesting to explore Fabius’ raction.
I am already RPing with a female cthonian Warlord and writing the eroding of Skalagrim’s casual chauvinism is fun! So - yay to both IC and OOC.
Have some female Noise Marine.
absolutely based opinion, and i agree on all points, let me introduce some of my girls.
FERNKA
techmarine of the iron warriors, product of some kind of sick joke at daemonculaba, which turned out relatively successful. she has severe ptsd from working on site and always was autistic. fernka is not a fan of fighting, although when threatened she can show extreme ferocity, so she received techmarine training and works well. that doesn’t save her from prejudices from her brothers, so she tries to blend in the wall and be as convenient as possible. fernka is not a fan of being female, she self-harms often and has a special disgust towards reproduction that only a female can feel. currently, she is being thrown from warband to warband, because, despite her skills, nobody likes having her around
SARRYA
primaris psyker in the past, sarrya always was quite a coward. she complied with everything thrown at her, before the night when world eaters invaded her planet. khorne berserker crashed through the kitchen floor into her basement, and she didn’t think long before jumping on his shoulders and looking for weak spots with a simple knife. sarrya earned that armour, so khorne gave her the right body to wear it. world eaters did not know that there is completely different person in this armour, and when they discovered that, they only scolded her for lying and cowardice. sarrya asked for butcher’s nails herself, after finding out that life among world eaters in clear state of mind is impossible.
moment of silence for everyone who relied on AI chat bots for research when it’s going around saying shit like this.
[image description: search that reads “country in africa that starts with K”. the featured snipped is from www.emergentmind.com and reads “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter "K". The closest is Kenya, which starts with a "K" sound, but is actually spelled with a "K" sound. It's always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.” /end ID]
[Image description: Kim Kitsuragi, sitting on the ground and looking at Harry with a thinking hand on his chin, and Harry, kneeling with his eyes shut and a reassuring hand raised, are discussing a plan. Kim says to Harry, "You... want me to be racist at them." Harry responds, "I've made that same mistake, but no. 'Extreme prejudice' just means 'killing everybody as violently as possible'. I will leave the amount of *actual* prejudice to your discretion." The second and third images are close-ups of Kim and Harry respectively. End ID.]
