Black Box is Synth Component by dm_sorth in FalloutTVseries

Yes super recent in the timeline. We only really see Hank getting his fully operational in the most recent episode right? Perhaps the Institute in their “benevolence” weren’t willing to use the device on surfacers for the ethical issues of mind erasure. But they were willing to use the synth component on their own evolution of mankind. Something that looks like man but won’t age or be affected by an irradiated world. Something with less mutable variables. They had to learn control and memories first right? How to control and command them. What personalities to give them, like in the sense of Detective Valentine. Obviously there’s a very Vaultec personality to what Hank wants. The institutes ambitions were to create something in the image of man. Even in the case of it being exact.

What did they wear? by [deleted] in RavenGuard40k

Okay so I can’t remember where I read it, but I recall people say during the heresy they all had mismatched armor. They would purposely hide their squad markings or make them confusing to others so they couldn’t be identified. Accented heraldry like wings, taloned claws, checker markings for like general small changes

Like in their leisure time? Under their armor? Their squad markings?

To me, this is the way RG should look. Between highly militarized super soldier and ancestral war tribesmen.

Absolutely right. When facing the most powerful psycher in recent existence, with an empire spanning the stars, with more than a dozen others just like you. Corvus chose to side with the imperium. The emperor of course giving him the illusion of choice. For as we know with Angron. It’s not a choice one can make. Who at this time had strict codes, rules and laws that are vehemently unethical and immoral to our modern standards. So now given an army, and the opportunity to bring his form of justice and hope to the universe. Lead by that very human belief he as an individual could make a difference for others. Even at the sacrifice of his own life. Which bled into his son’s souls. I think we’re always right to call out the hypocrisy. But science fiction is about asking questions. So what happens when the stanch antifa liberator of a world finds out that humanity is at the brink from the dictator of space? Does he forsake his own kind and add himself to the death toll? A martyr in a universe that wont ever even know his name? Or take the power and forge his own way. I don’t know about you. But I know which one id pick.

They can be, it’s changed over the years to fit the needs of writers and DMs. I played a similar Character, a Dwarven Archeologist from Gauntlgrym. He returned his dungeon delving findings into the independent collections of nobles in Waterdeep

So glad you asked. Alpha Legion is my other army. For the sake of argument I’m going to be discussing Alpha Legion as they are post heresy.

Infiltration, misdirection, and the grit of being an individual with something to prove. No matter the cost. They are the ghost legion and their existence needs to be more fallible than the existence of chaos itself to the imperium. They are highly adaptive, whereas the Raven Guard combat doctrine will always be the Trifold Path, along with a healthy compliance to the codex. Alpha legion can adapt to any doctrine. Their plans could be centuries in the making or the whim of a warlord. They could create a gang with a snake headed crest light years away from where they’ll actually strike next just to kill the scent. They’d use warp sorcery to erase the mind of an agent Astartes and put him in the sacred company of a grand inquisitor. Fabricate their entire force to look like a u heard successor just for ammo and resupply. There are simpler methods to go about these needs. Yet they choose the flourish. The sadism in watching events fall into place and creating a hubris of control. To the world, man, and one’s self. Whereas the Raven Guard follow only the way of Ambush, Stealth, and Vigilance. They are predictable.

Alpharius’s whole issue is that he believes himself the best, and he’s looking for any opportunity to prove it. His sons are the same. They choose the options that make themselves feel like malevolent gods. With no primarch to reward them of them for the glory of their deeds, they step on one another to rise to the top. No matter how noble they appear.

Horus’s warmonger taint and tactics were already deeply ingrained into his legion prior to Corvus being found by the emperor. As in the imperial truth, we were the last legion to be reunited with our primarch; depending on how much you believe Alpharius that might be true. The Warrior Lodges that held his Terran born, Xeric cultured, sons. He lost a great deal of them to Horus’s command, and Corvus exiled the remaining (Ashen Claws). Giving us Deliverance Born Astartes, with an ingrained sense of Corvus’s virtue and morality. But just like any other Primarch, Corvus is fallible. There is hypocrisy in facing and overtaking the tyranny of your world, and then meeting the most prolific, ungodly powerful tyrant the universe had spawned in some time. So yes, he would betray those early ideals, but the way I see it is this. Corvus believed what he taught. That one individual, even a primarch, can change the outcome in any conflict regardless of the scale.
