Generating Heretics

Hi there! Please use this thread for generating your two Heretics. At the end, I'll post the results in a Sticky Thread.

To get you started, please note that your Heretic must be human. As such, your Heretic starts with the following:

• Any two Common Lores, Linguistics (Low Gothic) and any one Trade.
  
• The Quick and the Dead trait (+2 to Initiative Rolls)

We will be using the points system, such that each characteristic starts at 25, and you have 100 additional points to allocate to your characteristics of WS, BS, S, T, Ag, Int, Per, WP and Fel. You cannot add more than 20 to any individual characteristic.

The exception to the points based generation is Inf, which starts at 19+1d5.

You then have available four Archetypes to choose from (see Black Crusade p.53 for more details):

• The Apostate: the talky one.
  
• The Renegade: the fighty one.
  
• The Heretek: the techy one.
  
• The Psyker: the wychy one.

(Note that Apostates can still be amazing at combat, Psykers at talking, etc. Those summaries are just a starting point.)

Once you've chosen your Archetype you get a ton of Skills, Talents, Traits and Equipment. You'll then Explore the Passions (Black Crusade, p.70). We can work on some alternative Prides, Disgraces and Motivations if none fit.

You then have 1000XP to spend. You count as Unaligned at this stage, so everything is at the middle price (Allied). However, your upgrades at this stage affect your Alignment. If you have 3 more upgrades of a particular Alignment than any other Alignment, then you are Aligned the next time you cross the threshold of 10, 20, 30, etc. Corruption. If you have 5 more upgrades of a particular Alignment, you get the Mark of that God.

You also get 2 acquisitions that come to -10 availability. These need not be individual items, but, if they are, then your acquisitions can be up to Very Rare (at Common Craftsmanship).

Any questions, just let me know.

I gave Gracious a Lesser Minion. I was thinking someone that sells your drugs/chem assistant. Does that sound good? If so, I'll stat them.
