Background
  • Forge Born Origin: You were born in the Cult Mechanicus, raised by steel and choir. The rhythms of the forge, the manufactorum, and the data-loom beat in your heart, whether natural or artificial. => Resolve
  • Void Born Origin: You spent your early life aboard an orbital station, built either for defence or industry. You were unaware planets existed until adolescence. => Max Wounds
  • Promethean Proselytism Origin: You converted to the Cult Mechanicus, leaving your former life behind after a holy vision, revelatory moment, or some other change of heart. => Conviction
  • Quest for Knowledge Accomplishment: You accompanied a Rogue Trader or an Explorator mission to search for forgotten technology. The journey was rife with danger, but you prevailed, earning scars and wisdom. => Determination
  • Forbidden Tech Accomplishment: You encountered technology considered anathema. Xenos machines, heretical experimentation, or something stranger — did you destroy the abhorrent machine, or take a risk? => Influence
  • Necron Assault Accomplishment: You survived a clash with the nightmarish Necrons; many allies fell to their bizarre weapons, but, you managed to escape or prevail, haunted by visions of death-masked mechanical horrors. => Max Shock
  • Mechanical Missionary Goal: The truth of the Omnissiah must be spread. By converting individuals and raising holy temples or forges, you serve the expansion of the Cult Mechanicus. => Conviction
  • Acquire Archeotech Goal: The acquisition of technology is a core tenet of your faith. You zealously pursue the possibility of recovering lost Dark Age technology, or even an STC. => Determination
  • Ascend to Iron Goal: The flesh is weak. You are driven to replace biological matter with augmetics. => Wealth
