Discussion What makes a compelling Imperial Character

[Vortigern Mimkin]

Hello chaos community.

If you’ve been here long enough you might know an Imperial role player here or been apart of the various Imperial Factions on chaos.

Even better you might have seen them in action as an observer. So I want to know what makes a compelling Imperial character to you.

Something that makes you enjoy reading them.

For me, it is everything from the stare to their stance. For every Admiral Ozzel, there is a Paellon or Piet. They also have a very strong "Why? Because 'F' you, that's why!" Attitude.

My old Imperial (Pre-Chaos) never used interrogation droids but blindfolds, friends of theirs and a blaster.

I'd love to see imperial characters that actually have growth and character lives. Not just existing as vehicles to govern, fleet, or warpost.

An imperial that has developed personal relationships, drama, vices, etc. that spread out and develop across arcs is way more compelling than the slew of imperial characters that have been in 3 imperial factions but somehow only have ~50 posts.
