(First Time of doing this so uh MISTAKES are to be found lol) THE BASICS- Chapter Name: The Fading Blades

Founding: Ultima Founding

Homeworld: Lorevian, a dark planet covered with beautiful swamps and toxic mountain landscapes. It’s thanks to these lands that the Fading Blades have a better resilience to diseases and plagues. 

Genesire: Dark Angel Successors

Fighting Style: Heavy focus on Melee, using Chainblades, Power Blades, and their own Power Katannas. Though there are a few that use sniper rounds for their Bolters. The Fading Blades are deadly field operatives, rushing onto the battlefield with little to no fear for themselves. They aid guardsmen and other Space Marines in combat and are skilled with indoor melee combat, making them perfect for liberating cities and citadels. 

Defining Armor Traits: Typically wearing robes and hoods, The Fading Blade also typically wear chains and spikes around their armor. Though plenty still wear the basic Primiris Armor without any add-ons. Captains and Sergeants though DO have large makeshift horns built into their armor.

Ritual Markings: Every Fading Blade is permitted to give themselves a tattoo of anything they desire, whether that be a name, a face, or a symbol. This tattoo is what connects them to their humanity and mortality. 

Special Rituals: When becoming a Fading Blade, the newcomer must work with a selected guardsman and use only a standard chainblade in combat as the guardsman’s personal guardian. They will be protected by a fellow Fading Blades. Only when they prove themselves, which can take months or even years, can they ever wear their sacred power armor. 

Beliefs: The Fading Blades follow the belief that Humanity is something to protect with every last fiber in their bodies, but also that even if someone falls to Chaos, their past should not be forgotten. To the Fading Blades, MEMORIES of one’s Humanity is what makes them human. It’s why they try to have civil interactions with any Space Marine that is not a fellow Fading Blade. They want to learn about them.

Purpose: The Fading Blades were formed to fight the forces of Chaos, mainly Chaos Cults. The Fading Blades are trained to combat every Chaos Warband with incredible precision. 

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Master: Volux Axar is a quiet and intimidating Space Marine, his helmet sprouting two massive horns and instead of their classic neon green eye optics, he wears pitch black ones similar to those of the Minotaurs. Volux keeps the Legion united, gathering recruits who succeeded in their guard duties and telling them the duty they now hold, while also revealing great secrets and untold stories. He wields the chapter’s first Power Katana, which was found deep in the belly of a fallen titan, alongside main other relics they keep. Volux shows these Relics to the recruits, telling them their theories and ideas of the relics. Volux is a kind soul, and will protect his Marines with an uttermost ferocity that only a World Eater and/or demon of Khorne could match. 

Champion: Orion Venatorius is actually a Dreadnaught, but a very talented one at that, and was the first Chapter Master. When the Fading Blades were founded and sent on their first mission to take down a Thousand Sons stronghold on the planet Gregak III. During this mission, Orion faced down a Greater Daemon of Tzeetch. While he didn’t kill the beast, Orion was such a vicious opponent on the field the demon was constantly being forced back. Eventually Orion was facing down demons left and right, being the single Marine in the Chapter with the most Demon Kills. Even when he was placed inside his Dreadnaught (why, no one knows. He was just found beyond saving, surrounded by hoards of traitors and demons), Orion kept killing demons. He values his relationship with his fellow marines and like Volux will defend them vigorously. 

_______________________________________________________

Primary Relationships with other Chapters/Legions:

Salamanders: The Fading Blades are a lot like the Salamanders in the sense that they value human life over practically anything else. Thus the Salamanders and Fading Blades actually get along quite well.

Lamenters: Unlike (probably) most of the Imperium, the Fading Blades see the Lamenters as Space Marines that deserve a massive break. Thus whenever they are working together, the Fading Blades treat the Lamenters with respect. 

Space Sharks: To put it simply, the Fading Blades are afraid of the Space Sharks. For obvious reasons. They’d rather fight Angron than a single Space Shark.

Dark Angels: As the apparent founding legion of the Fading Blades, one would think they’d have at least a LITTLE respect for the Dark Angels. But no. The Fading Blades despise their secret keeping and the measures they go to keep them. 

Black Templars: While the Black Templars are perplexed by the Fading Blades, they work well in unison. The Fading Blades themselves are neutral overall about the Black Templars but do show interest in their virtues and skills. 

Ultramarines: HO-BOY. The Ultramarines. The Fading Blades DESPISE the Ultramarines. Their rulebook following ways and views of Humanity as a whole and more and more make the Fading Blades DESPISE working with the Ultramarines. When a Captain of the Ultramarines began to talk shit to the Fading Blades, they shot back. A Salamander and Dark Kraken there had to separate the two when a brawl started. So yeah, not positive.

_______________________________________________________

Other Basic Facts to Know:

Their flagship is called the Fallen Warhead. It holds many of the Fading Blades’s most powerful weapons and figures.

Their monastery on Lorevian is called Fortress Dusklight. This is where all their relics are held. 

One of their relics is a suit of Space Marine Armor that dates back all the way to the Horus Heresy but they can’t tell what model or Legion it belonged to. But it is written all over in an ancient tongue that the Fading Blades Scholars and Psychers are constantly trying to figure out.

While the use of Bolters are rare for the Fading Blades, they aren’t strangers to them. Small squads of Marines may use them solely as distraction so the main force can go in to attack.

Volux Axar once faced down a Thousand Sons leader, and the Thousand Sons would state later that the mere presence of Volux triggered some deep fear they had. Something dating back all the way to BEFORE the Heresy.

Respectfully the Death Star ain’t shit.

Oh I whole heartedly agree. But seeing that you're saying that PROBABLY in response to my Warhammer VS Star Wars post, it STILL would at least make a dent in the Imperium. The question of how long it would last is a whole other story XD

Say Hello To Roughous Artillieus. My Very Own Warhammer 40K OC!! And Yes, He's A Primarch.

Say hello to Roughous Artillieus. My very own Warhammer 40K OC!! And yes, he's a Primarch.

He is the Primarch of the Rougher Days legion and their successors. He is a master at melee combat but loves to use Bolters as well, commonly using them in pairs because as he says, "He loves the aesthetic." But like many, if not all, in the 40K universe, he is shrouded with misery and above all... Chaos. But maybe not in the way that one would think.

You see, disregarding any reasonable lore (as I like to do), before the Horus Heresy, Roughous actually had an encounter with Slaneesh AND Nurgle. Both of which tried to convince him to turn himself over to Chaos, to which both he refused. But since he had such a DIRECT encounter with them, he was targeted by powerful deamons left and right. One such encounter was with a higher deamon that inflicted him with a virus made by Nurgle with Slaneesh's help. Literal Chaos began to flow from his eyes, and his Marines began to worry that they may have to put done their beloved Primarch. But Roughous wasn't going down easy. He slayed the deamon and returned home, a bolter always pointed at his head just in case. He built a mask that helped him recovcer from the virus, permanently forging it into his face.

Now the mark of the Chaos Virus marks his face, the tears that fell last marking his skin, and his eyes blacked with a pure neon green glow. And he begins to think about the Crusade, the War, and eventually, the Horus Heresy... and wondered...

Was Humanity just as horrible a force of Chaos as were the Chaos Lords?

Owl House concept: Previous Golden Guards

So we know that there have been various Golden Guards over the hundreds of years Belos was being a crybaby bitch. And it made me have an interesting idea.

What if every pervious Golden Guard's style had a theme connected to the time period going on in the Human Realm? The closer to the modern era we got, the "modern" the Guards would get? Just an idea.

DC Justice League: Dark Rebirth

In a universe where Darkseid won, effectively ruining the Earth, leaving husks of cities and towns. He killed Superman, and took control of the rest of the big league members of the Justice League. Darkseid even brought the planet Apocalypse to replace the Moon. But he left one hole in his plan empty… he didn’t capture Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Redhood, alongside a few other heroes and villains, which include the likes of Zatanna, Question, Batwoman, Batgirl, Artemis, Green Arrow, Bane, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, Captain Cold, Black Manta, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Mr. Freeze, Cheetah, and Solomm Grundy. Together they survive the wastelands, killing and avoiding parademons who wander the dead planet. The team also looks for other survivors, who are scattered around the world. Little do they all know though, a new being is about to step into the limelight, with a goal to save Earth… _______________________________________________________

This being is named Deathjaw. He’s a necromancer from Hell who has always dreamed of redeeming himself from the wrongs he’s done in the efforts of good. So he studied for centuries but when millions of lives began to enter Hell, Deathjaw became suspicious of the now swarming new waves of tormented souls being thrown to Hell. While the Righteous Demons judged them, Deathjaw questioned a few until he learned of what happened in the mortal realm. It was then Deathjaw decided to leave the realm of the Dead to fix the problem, taking his personal assistant Dark Cyber, a powerful knight infused with the powers of dark magic and demonhood. Deathjaw used a powerful spell to enter the mortal realm, stepping out into the ruins of Gotham. He ran into Killer Moth and Clayface who were trying to escape the Parademons. While Deathjaw couldn’t save Killer Moth, who was eviscerated by the demons, he and Dark Cyber were able to save Clayface, who told them everything that happened. Deathjaw began to plot while escorting Clayface to a safehouse, run by the surviving heroes and villains. Deathjaw left the safehouse, leaving Dark Cyber to help guard. _______________________________________________________

Deathjaw came up with a plan that would require a lot of magic but if he could pull it off, Deathjaw was sure he could help face Darkseid. During his travels, Deathjaw would come across a lot of survivors, who he’d direct towards the various safehouses he would come across, sometimes helping defend them from the eyes of the parademons and Darkseid. Eventually he came to the ruins of Metropolis. Where LexCorp once stood was a massive crater, and in the center was the body of Superman. Darkjaw had decided to resurrect the symbol of Hope using a spell he had learned and manipulated slightly by Trigon himself. Superman had been torn apart by Darkseid, but with the spell, Superman would be able to regenerate himself from tremendous damage. Alongside that, Superman would achieve various other abilities. But Deathjaw also knew that by reviving Superman, Darkseid’s attention would be gained, so Deathjaw took the body to the living planet Io, who while the rest of the Green Lanterns had been slain, still lived thanks to some last minute thinking by the Guardians. Io helped gather the magic required to summon the massive spell, and Deathjaw used it all to revive the mighty Superman. While Superman wasn’t exactly happy, he accepted the facts and with Deathjaw they returned to Earth, where Deathjaw executed the next phase of his plan. _______________________________________________________

Once they arrived on Earth, Darkseid appeared, annoyed that Superman was alive once again. The two clashed once more, now on equal footing. While they fought, Deathjaw teleported to Apocalypse. There he used his magic to track and fight the various controlled Justice League members. There was Wonder Woman, who’s body had been turned into a cyborg. Then it was the Flash, who was forced to have his arms replaced and his eyes removed, replaced with a visor. Green Lantern was turned into Dark Lantern, his ring corrupted with Dark Matter. Martian Manhunter was turned into a Super Parademon, having all his abilities but a deadly hunter instinct. Aquaman was also turned into a Super Parademon, with fish-like features. Finally, Batman… they were turned into Darkseid’s military general, his body mainly unaltered, mainly his legs and eye being replaced. Deathjaw took each one out using his magic, and then reversed the mind control forced upon them. With the Justice League freed, they returned to Earth to see Superman and Darkseid still fighting. The fighting had brought the survivors out as well, mainly holding off the parademons. The Justice League hopped into the fight to save Earth. Deathjaw joined Superman to fight Darkseid. _______________________________________________________

During the fight, Darkseid would taunt Deathjaw, questioning why Hell spawn would even want to save Earth. Deathjaw explained that in life, he used Necromancy to defend his family and friends, but the king who ruled the kingdom Deathjaw lived in forced Deathjaw to raise an undead to serve the king, and in their first battle, many innocent lives were lost to the chaotic army, causing Deathjaw’s family to be killed. Enraged, Deathjaw killed the king and was hung for the act. Deathjaw explained further that Darkseid reminded him of that king, and if Deathjaw had to die once again in order to not only save Earth but redeem himself, he would. Deathjaw then activated his true form, a Fallen Archangel, and helped Superman fight the dark tyrant. Nearing the end of the fight, Deathjaw decided to use a move that would surely kill him, but also end Darksied’s threat forever. With Superman’s help, they were able to stun Darkseid long enough for them to summon a wormhole to something Deathjaw called to Fallen Graveyard, a universe that swallowed anything and anyone whole. With help from everyone, Deathjaw and Superman were able to push Darkseid into the wormhole, and forced all the parademons to follow suit, all being eradicated almost immediately. Deathjaw would fall onto the ground, feeling the spell take its toll. But Dark Cyber is able to reverse the effects, truly allowing Deathjaw, alongside the rest of the living members of Earth, a second chance of living on Earth. And so began, while Grim and Dark, a Hopeful Rebirth. _______________________________________________________

DC Justice League: Dark Rebirth is something I came up with relatively recently, and I really wanted to somehow write a somewhat dark but hope filled story about a Darkseid invasion. So this is what it became! I’m very happy with what I did with this!

Okay now to the basic facts one should know:

This plot would go around for a few “episodes” due to the extensivity of the story. 

Characters like Lex Luthor, The Joker, Sinestro, Black Adam, etc are most likely dead. 

Deathjaw and Dark Cyber ARE my own original characters for the DC AU.

Is Deathjaw very powerful? YES. That’s the point of his character, he’s supposed to be this powerful figure who limits himself due to his past. He only really goes full power against Darkseid.

This plot is HEAVILY inspired by some of the Animated DC Universe’s concepts of Darkseid’s invasion and such.

Is Alfred alive? Yes. Yes he is. I ain’t killing the lovely old bastard.

The “designs” for the manipulated members of the Justice League are heavily Borg/General Grievous/Ultron inspired, with obvious inspirations for Darkseid’s army itself.

To all wondering, yes Trigon taught Deathjaw. To an extent. It was really just Deathjaw examining Trigon using his powers.

Will I do short stories or art with this universe? Yes but most Epilogue stuff. It’s funner that way.

(Yall I made a youtube playlist just for this lol. And yes I just wanted to post something a little different.)

God you are so right about 40k and the T'au, I love my blue boys but they've been squandered so much it genuinely hurts lol. Makes me wanna make a fanon au of the setting instead ngl

So what's stopping you?

One of the things I loved seeing back in The Old Days Of Posting, was people coming up with AU settings of 40k. That kinda shit is fun, and it feels very in keeping with the spirit of Oldhammer, which is silly and ridiculous and fun.

Brighthammer 40k, the Dornian Heresy, The Shape of the Nightmare to Come... hell, I've seen people turn 40k into the stereotypical coffee shop AUs, and there was even that one time the /tg/ hivemind seemed to spontaneously create that Warhammer High thing. To say nothing of Love Can Bloom.

Now I don't know if I'm just old, or I just don't go to the right websites anymore because the internet has become 3 websites that we all hate due to capitalism, but I really wish people would do more fun shit like that again. Seems like all I see lately is dickheads arguing with each other going "No, you can't do that, it's not canon!"

If you want to make a fanon AU, go for it! It is literally impossible for anyone other than yourself to stop you!

But if you do, let me know, because I want to see it.
