The Trazio Dynasty goes forward.



So as briefly mentioned in my previous post, me and Rory of the Rottimus have a mini campaign planned for January.  Now we covered the long painting list which will effectively keep me sick *ahem, coff coff, for the next few months.  But what about the plot?

Well, there is a planet, we agreed on this.  But the perspectives on the why and how go to each side.

Rory's version can be found here on an old Page on his blog.  Yupp.  We have been mulling this over for a long time.

I haven't made an official statement of intent yet, mainly because I haven't decided on the character of my Dynasty yet.


You can find the original Post, Here.

Since then I've been going back and forth regarding the Dynasties history, their agenda and thus their character regarding three important factors.
  • Are they happy as soulless Immortals?
  • How to they feel about the Ctan?
  • Do they still follow the word of the Silent King? (No pun intended).
Well, sadly, I cannot have all the things in my Dynasties background.  Things get cluttered and the solid fixed character of the Dynasty would be lost.

So what do I want?

  1. The Trazio Dynasty are religious in their own way, regarded as the "keepers of the Old Gods", who are loosely mentioned in the older Necron Fluff as the things the Ctan were made to look like.
  2. The Dynasty was instrumental in both the Bio Transference process, being its biggest sponsor, the SS of the Pro Ctan faction.
  3. The Dynasty was also the first to realise their mistake, being also instrumental in the destruction of the Ctan, using their closeness to the Star Vampires to give vital intelligence.
  4. Upon awakening, the Dynasty has one objective in their warped guilty pseudo consciousness: Make a God. 
I dropped the idea that they want to return to the flesh.  I think its too much sad and not enough sinister.  I prefer the notion that they know there is no way back, and even want to help other races attain the same level of perfection, oneness with the gods.
At the same time, their understanding of the Ctan means that they think the vast power of those energy based lifeforms can be molded into creating a being, a God born of their mysterious and terrible sciences. 

Obviously the idea is going to rail against and alienate them from several of their kin, but screw it.  I don't need friends. 

The Trazio Dynasty has been responsible for the greatest sin of their race.  The greatest betrayal which they only answered with another betrayal.  Driven, they now are eager to take revenge on the surviving Ctan, grinding them down into raw energy, and programming it to be One of the Gods of Old, leading them into a new era of prosperity and perfection.

Scared yet?

Now homework is to write up a piece in relation to the planet we will be waring over.  Thinking as an agenda either: Biotransferance Machine is there.  Or a Ctans essence is imprisoned there. 

Either way, its gonna be big!

Dynasty, circa Early 2014. 

Thanks for reading,
R
