Sergeant Zayani

Brave. Loyal. Gallant. Paranoid. Strict.

Zaynani is a guardswoman for the Astra Militarum. Not only that, but she is also an abhuman. Now going into the active warzone of gladius prime. She finds herself ready to dig in and destroy the enemies of mankind on the world. Or die trying.

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of His inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Man for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that He may never truly die.

Yet even in His deathless state, the Emperor continues His eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in His name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defense forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the Tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat to humanity from aliens, heretics, mutants -- and far, far worse.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.

Zayani was born into these dark times to a family line of guardsmen. Starting from her ancestors and leading down her bloodline to her currently. Character was born a Felinid, a abhuman known for their feline like traits despite still being human. Character is a full bloodied one meaning she looks like a Anthro cat. Specifically a jaguar for character, being tall and strong bodied across her frame to some baseliner humans this is an affliction a disease, being a abhuman is an insult to the emperor's vision of humanity, to others being a abhuman is in fact the nature of humanity, evolving to take different forms being the ultimate life form to shape itself for survival. And to many it matters not what you look like as along as your willing to fight for the emperor's vision.

Character has grown up during the times of strife, originally coming from a rural farming community Felinid peasants of small fame due to their tall nature making them excellent soldiers for their planetary governor and the guard as awhole. Her home planet of Parisiorum has been loyal to the Imperium of man for countless generations despite its abundance of abhumans a rarity to most in the galaxy. The planet a government based on the old feudal ways of holy Terra. And thus she was born to a farming family, sheltered from the early cruelties of the galaxy while she matured to the point until she could join the guard like the rest of the community's children. When joining she was drilled to be one of the many imperial guardsmen for the emperor's purpose.

She was soon drafted to be a part of the 07th Parisiorum claws. Who took her off world for the first time and was soon made to face her first battle against the blood thirsty Orks on a artic world. Where value of the laz rifle was both hated and appreciated. Hated to cause the orks took so many shots to kill. But appreciated due to its rapid fire being enough to put those shots in. The 5-year conflict was finally brought to the closed as the last of the ork's camp was bombarded into hell. And the Parisiorum claws came out of the battlefield. Bloodied, scarred. But most importantly prepared to face the galaxy head on. This battle allowed her to prove herself and would make her quite a asset to many commanders with how quick she can bolster morale.

She soon saw conflict all across the galaxy with her regiment. Working her way up to be a renowned sergeant. Going to battle against the Xenos of the mystic Eldar, The deceiving Tau, The Savage Orks. Ever starving tyranids. The Undying Necron. And finally, the degenerate Cultist and rebels of Chaos. Bringing glory to the emperor and her regiment with every single battle she faced. The only thing she never saw was the legendary space marines of the emperor. She now thinks they are a myth. or rather a mirage of morale that will probably never show itself.

As she worked her status and combat abilities earned her some fame amongst the regiment. Albeit not in a way of getting promoted to commander, but rather as a good template. at 27 years old. She quickly realized that many of the female recruits for the regiment looked awfully similar to her. Especially the last batch. She now feels a bit paranoid that the medics while tending to her, donated her blood and DNA to the guard's gene banks in order to clone a new batch of worthy guardsmen. While many of the guard would be honored to have been such a warrior, to be considered a prime template for the next generation of guardsmen. She was horrified when she realized what has happened. And what will probably continue to happen due to the gene banks impressive way to prolong the life span of stored DNA. A motherly protectiveness to her clones taking hold. As she tries to give them wisdom to let them live longer when she finds one amongst the squads of the regiment.

She of course holds nothing against the medics. This was not unheard of even if the average guardsmen was told not worry about it. But she finds herself fearing finding a dead "daughter" of hers on the battlefield. She feels pity, remorseful that her technically offspring would never actually feel the love of a mother like she did. And was raised by the drill sergeants of the imperial guard to be soldiers first. And living beings last. The fate she does not want her daughters to have.

Her work is far from over however. The 07th now finds themselves descending onto the sieged world of Gladius prime. Attacked by all sides from Xenos and chaos alike and with half the knowledge that the tech priests on the planet are harboring a dark secret not meant for imperial guards eyes. She knows this campaign will be the hardest challenge that the 07th will face. She can only hope they can claw through their way to the other side.

Gladius itself is a entire world with its own seasons. Its cities stretched far and wide, now are just concrete carcesses that loom over the horizon in ruins. A rather bad timing ork invasion has caused a massive amount of damage. Now all types of enemies of the imperium flood the battlefield searching to take the planet for themselves. Currently one of the only cities still left standing is Moenia's creed. Being used as a bastion for the imperial citizens to gather to until this crisis is over. Named after one of the founders of the gladius colony. A supposed priestess of the emperor.

Being a feline. Zayani is like an Anthro jaguar. Strong bodied and covered in jaguar like fur leading up to a cat like muzzle on her face. Her nose being a soft cat like pink in a cute way. Her hair is a soft dusty blonde that she keeps pony tailed to keep out of her face. She often wears a full set of guard flak armor with an imperial army cap with a skull on it. Her eyes are an emerald, green, having a soft natural glow to it. For officer duties has a laz pistol and a chainsword. She also has a laz rifle and bayonet for when she needs to do a charge with her soldiers.

Personality wise. she is a full believer in the imperial creed and in the emperor's vision. Even if some of the insults from more xenophobic guardsmen or priests slightly damper her mood and make her wonder if he would view her with the same disgust for the "affliction" she was born with. Underneath her soldiery attitude however, is a very caring hardworking farm girl. She completely hates the imperial nobility that have their daggers behind their backs, ready to stab and shank each other. Seeing it as a complete waste of humanity's resources and often fantasies killing the rich degenerate pricks in a firing squad. The scientific side of the imperium however, scares her. Hearing stories of corpse starch rations made from the broken down bodies of imperial guards. To other nasty experiments. As stated having seemingly encountered the rumored Geno clones of herself across the various worlds.
