Lobo Lurker said:Yes, there's room for one more.Either of those concepts is fine... you'll get the most mileage out of whatever YOU want to play.
Preachers work for the Ecchlesiarchy (I know I just butchered that word). Your ecchlesiarch could be anything from a teacher, preacher, missionary, chaplin, fanatic, etc. Anything really as religion figures in quite heavily to all aspects of Imperial life and the church has a LOT of power (witness its own personal army, the Sisters of Battle).
The both interest me, but I'll end up going with the preacher, I had him wrote up as a weaker character but bump him up tonight with someone who eats and breaths 40k help. Like give him a rosary? rosarius? Tonight I figure it all out, plus spellings and post it.

New Posting for Kai, with some adjustments to correct errors, add a more leadership focus, and up his hero points. He has a bit of the "silent leader of men" about him. Ah, the burden of leadership in dangerous times ....

The same role that he has been playing for the past two decades: "green-skin" expert, local system infiltrator, reconnaissance, interception, information collection and retrieval, sometime leader of men, skilled pilot, lucky sod, and whisky drinker.

NOTES
Gender: Male
Age: 37
Size: Medium
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 160 pounds
Hair: Black
Eyes: Grey
Physical Description:
Late 30s, handsome face that still shows strong elements of his ancient Japanese roots, black hair shorn short, flecked with grey, light stubble and a silvered winding scar that runs along his left jaw line. 5'11", slim, muscular build.
Kai has the Xeno Catechism tattooed in pale ink onto his left arm, almost invisible, but always with him. He tends to wear dark, practical (free movement) gear, with a long dark gray overcoat with upturned stiff collar. His piercing grey eyes are often hidden behind thin mirrored glasses, and his face seldom belies any emotion.
Background:
Tok is one of the Imperium's best greenskin experts, but his knowledge came at a price. As a young boy he was for noticed as a profound intellectual talent, and was requested to attend an Imperial testing facility. While traveling with his parents to the local hub their mass transport vehicle was attacked by pirate greens. His parents were killed along with the majority of other passengers, but Kai and a few hundred others were kept as live larder.
Kai spent six years among the greenskins as part of their slave labour force (and food supply) on their local system. During this time he tried again and again to raise some resistance, but the people were not warriors, and went meekly to death. Eventually he took things into his own hands.
He seldom speaks of this time, but what is known is that he escaped alone, turning the central fortified Orc encampment into partial life-system failure as he systematically shut down its computer systems.
Kai, too long away from civilization, piloted a tiny craft he had stolen in search of a human voice. It was two months before he was picked up by a passing Rogue Trader, Andu Rowen, signalled by the beacon from Kai's ship.
Kai, now 20, was too old for training, but Andu saw potential in the young man and used him as a backup pilot, becoming almost a father figure to the young man. When, three years later, a greenskin invasion of a nearby system was handed to Andu's crew to investigate, it was Kai who led the incursion team, and reported back on the alien artifact the greenskins were attempting to recover. There was no time to send in the Deathwatch, and Andu sent his best men down. They did not return. Kai, ignoring orders, went in alone using a stolen incursion pod.
His success in the mission did not go unnoticed. He was sought out by the Ordo Xenos, not to be one of their own, but as a possible sleeper. The Order had been the first to spot Kai's potential those 9 years earlier, and now wanted him again. He was too rough a diamond to fold fully into the order, but his zealous hatred was hidden so well behind his calm mind that the order were moved to recruit him.
He speaks little of his times since then, for they were spent in service to the Ordo Xenos. First with his extensive training, and later stationed with a varying group of Rogue Traders. Kai is a gatherer of information. One whose hatred can be hidden behind a veil while he insinuates himself with the enemy, learning from them before he snuffs them out.
He has been sent against many alien races, mostly as an information gatherer, someone who can gain their confidence, but it is the greenskins that he reserves his most wicked fury for.
He has spent over a decade in service, suffering many injuries and requiring extensive implants to his damaged eyes. His innate, almost magical ability in regards to computer equipment have been further strengthened by the implant of a rare transmitter/receiver that allows him to communicate with nearby computer systems.
Weapons and Quirks:
Sky carries a thin bladed power knife. It is his weapon of choice, meaning he prefers to kill slowly when he can.
He prefers single handed weapons, such as pistols, and is not really a big fan of heavy-combat. He believes most missions can be completed using intelligence and turning the environment in your favour, rather than by blowing holes in walls.
He speaks many languages, but doesn't have time for idle talk.
He is happiest among the scum of the universe, for it is from their lips that secrets spill.
He once let an orc baby live after an attack. He knows it probably died anyway, but to this day he still wonders why he let it live, wonders if perhaps there is some weakness in his resolve.

Your Flat-Footed DEF would be 15 (1/2 your Base Defense, round up). Feats like Dodge can add to your DEF, but don't add to your Flat-Footed DEF. As you paid for it, you get the big bonus
Hewligan! Great work! I especially like the sneak attack and favored foe...against orcs, especially by surprise, he can use even those relatively small weapons with hideous force.
Only thing I saw was that you list your powers as costing 18 points when in fact, as I count, they only should be 17.

hewligan, just for flavor's sake call that knife weapon a mono-knife or something like that. An Astartes' knife would be sword for you.

Ohhh... an extra point from my inability to add (who would have thought I could have held down a job as an analytical person for so long?). I may go for an extra luck point.
Lobo - you Sir, are correct. I just copied and pasted, but yeah, a deadly little knife is what I was going for. How about I call it "Orc Bane", and it was a gift from an underworld Lord that thought I was working for him (before I assassinated him with the same blade upon completion of my infiltration project)?
I would make those two minor updates now, only, you see, Scotland just beat France at the football, and thus I am drinking strong Port Ellen whisky and fear I may make rather a hash of it.

hewligan: Mostly, things look good.
1. How many ranks in Datalink do you have? Please list your powers like so...
... EXAMPLE: Growth +3 (EX: duration-continuous [+1], FL: duration-permanent [-1], PF: innate)
2. I'm not clear on whether you're using a Shriuken Pistol or a custom weapon.
3. Simple flavor issue - PDA = Dataslate

A large bald man, his ceremonial robes open in the front. He can usally be seen with a large book in one hand and a power fist in the other.
He has yet to recieve the gambit of boinics his fellow clergymen wear with pride, only having a single glowing eye.
Once an requisition officer of the Imperial gaurd, the charismatic Marcus made sure his regiment had the best armor and weapons availible. Trading and dealing was his life, and he was good at it.
Later though, when his regiment was assign to a small world undergoing the first steps of ork invasion, a series of miscalculations and blunders from the leadership ended with most of the regiment dead or scattered and the deaths of those officers themselves.
As far down on the chain of command as he was, everyone above him had died or deserted. It was here for the first time he was able to use his charima for leading rather than bartering. Rallying the rest of the troops, they ware not only able to hold out but under his leadership the remaining troops won several victorys over much larger orc forces. When reinforcements finally did come his contribution was regonised and he was drafted into the clergy as a teacher to future commanders.
His strength and fanaticly devout nature coupled with his natural charima has allowed him to requisition better equipment then most of his fellows preachers.
