The Rogue Trader Lord-Admiral Henri Luc Der Cour was a man who believed that everyone should learn about the value of a Throne the hard way.
When his three sons and five daughters turned sixteen, he gave them each 1,000 Thrones, and told them to go off and make some money - he'd be back to collect 10,000 from them in 4 years.
Three of his daughters, and one son, married into nobility, and paid their father off fair and square. He was not terribly sad to see him go.
One of his daughters became a Planetary Governor, and help to secure a planet from the clutches of the vile Ork menace through timely action. She was eventually purloined by the Inquisition, never to be heard from again. She had served well.
Tybalt and his siblings Sebastion and Anastazia each went their own ways. Only Tybalt returned to his father, having amassed a small fortune of his own, and handed his father 100,000 Thrones as a "thank you".
He was granted the family's Warrant of Trade, while his father retired to his own personal moon to perfect his Regicide game.
Soon after gaining the family's starship (The Nostalgia For Infinity), he craved even higher profits. He had heard rumour that his ancestors, even his father, had searched the Expanse for Halo Artefacts - Xenos devices of curious power. In his pursuit of these objects, his ship took the wrong stream in the Warp, and ended up stranded far outside the Imperium's borders.
That was when the Reavers came.
They resembled Eldar, their feature long, curiously human, yet instinctively revolting, their movements almost insectoid. Yet they wore scars, brands, pierced flesh, and the darkest of leather. The crew fought valiantly to hold them off, though it was a near massacre. The Captain survived, a little deadened by the whole experience. He sought solace in Footfall, studying these creatures ("Dark Eldar", according to some sources), until some time last year - when he gathered a new crew to go with the remnants of the old, and set out once more for profit, adventure, and prestige.
Regarding Acquisitions, whilst we're on Footfall...
My personal equipment is plenty good enough. I'd like to get, if at all possible, components so that he could bless and sanctify the arms and armour of the command crew as well as the materials to create hexagramatic wardings for such, too. (Both should be Very Rare, according to Dark Heresy, although this also includes the application thereof.)
A Rosarius (Conversion Field) and a Persecutor Shotgun or Locke Bolter would be nice too, but isn't a big deal at all.

If so, yes. I have Hatred (Chaos). Also, even if I didn't, worshiping Chaos is a spectacularly bad idea and will result in much *blam*-ing from me before they do something spectacularly stupid like summoning a daemon or opening a Warp portal.
Guys, please I am joking!!
Uhm Wife is leah, Child is Lucia and niether of them are chaos worshippers..
I have read alot so I know a bit about the common lore, So I know do and don't in general. I thought the face would strike you as 'he is making a joke' But if, don't think you would get the chance my friend. His family is his everything.

Jokes do not always convey well over the Internet.
One of these three might have made it more clear:

Right, can I ask, before we get completely fired into things, are we using 'Ship Roles' from Into the Storm?
Obviously, the Rogue Trader should be the Lord-Captain. I figure Fiona would probably want something like High Factotum or Master of Whispers, but many positions would fit.
Personally, I'd like First Officer, as opposed to Ship's Confessor, since Gethsemane doesn't look like a Missionary at first glance, and wouldn't have the trappings of such an office.
Second page of the OOC, first page of the IC, and you're already making overt and veiled threats to each others family members. This is what happens when you take a bunch of paranoid, sociopathic war/police/pirate veterans and lock them together on a space ship :P
Play your characters how you want, especially between yourselves, but be mindful of situational context. You're in Footfall, right now. Fugitives from Imperial Justice rub shoulders with bright-eyed Imperial preachers and hereteks and assorted scumbags, here. You're all heavy-hitters, and most people will probably think twice before trying to mug you, but leveling a bolt pistol at someone's head every time you hear them mutter something off-color about the warp is probably not a path that will lead to you being happy and successful.

What year is it in game?
My reason for asking is that Sythius has, on his sheet, mentioned Red Corsairs.
In the current 40K RPG timeline, the Badab War hasn't happened yet! :/
Let me do some further reading on both of these things, and get back to you.

She wasn't threatening anyone, just answering my question in her own way, or not luc?
plus im not really paranoid, I just get very tired from my pregnant woman who works off all her emotions on me, I have no real life experience but i expect it to be pretty exhausting:P
If they mention something off-colored, then they won't have a chance to do it again. And everyone who witnessed the messy destruction of the mutterer will learn the valuable lesson of shutting the hell up, lest they suffer a thunder hammer to the face, courtesy our ex-judge.
On ship roles: I believe we are using them. First Officer would be interesting for you, considering your post mentioned that you had no official role on the ship. It also indicates a massive trust between Gethy and the Lord-Captain, which I wasn't aware existed. We'll see what Whisky thinks on the matter.
If everyone will make a wishlist on their character sheet, I can draw up a list and work out the modifiers and all that.
EDIT:
Lucius asked Fiona for a maid to take care of his stress, but he started off the conversation by kvetching about his family. So, in a gallows-humor tone, she mentioned a 'maid' who could 'take care of' his family, using euphemisms to describe an assassin instead of a nanny or a babysitter. It was entirely in jest.

Good point re: no official position.
I figure he'd be trusted because he's the sort of dude that doesn't lie, and makes a point of being reliable, and has the paperwork to prove it.
Right now, he'd likely just naturally fall into such a role, even if it wasn't accompanied by rank stripes.
Edit: I'm liking the interaction so far. The crew are obviously all radical thinkers, yet not to the point of being crazy evil sorts. Yet.

One doesn't naturally fall into a position of trust. If it appears you're super trustworthy, that in itself isn't trustworthy. Especially someone with so many components of his past work expunged and redacted.

As to positions, I'd like Master-At-Arms. I have the highest BS, and it fits my character.
If i knew this i would have spend 4 points more:P Just kidding, I am not that type at all, I don;t know all those fancy english terms so if you got one for me that's fine:)
Oh and this is important, the pirate thing from my past is not something you guys know IC. It would not do our relations ships any good i think for you emperor fearing people.
I don't know what you mean, Cilvyn. There was a hypothetical situation that Sly made, where the crew of the Nostalgia killed everyone who spoke ill of something, and he said we couldn't do our job well if we did that. I contested that fact with a hypothetical of my own.
Yeah, my role will probably be of Lock on Target Girl during combat. So in that case, you'll benefit from the +5 to BS.

Hmm, okay. My use of the word 'privateer' may be due to the term being bandied around by others, then. My bad.
Now on a more serious tone: I cannot find data pads anywhere what does it do, can I have one?
Data-slates, also known as datapads or DiPads, are commonplace in the Imperium as the primary means of storing and reading printed text and other media such as video or audio recordings. They are so cheap and easy to make that many contain a single media recording, such as text, and can only play that single file. Others can re-record new information, and transmit and receive data from other devices.
If you want to play having any number of data-slates containing novels, system readiness reports from your subordinates, or letters from loved ones or whatever, go for it. If you want them to contain useful, specialized information, that's trickier. One of the choices of your Arch-militant starting equipment is having a data-slate full of current bounties.

To most Imperial Citizens, the Emperor is at once omnipresent and not really part of their daily lives. He's like Jesus to people that grew up in Limerick in Ireland, you know? The reality is that he was a real person, an ubermensch and a supremely powerful psyker who founded the Imperium, got wounded by his "son" Horus in the Horus Heresy a ridiculously long time ago, and now his twitching corpse is psychically sustained by a giant life support machine called the Golden Throne, which is powered by the large amount of psykers that are fed to it every day.
Some claim he still exists as an active player or a presence, speaks to his followers through the Emperor's Tarot and so forth- the Ecclesiarchy are quite aggressively assertive about this viewpoint- but the most important thing about the Golden Throne is that it creates the Astronomicon, a visible beacon of light for those navigating the Warp, by which they steer their heading. It's also used to create Astropaths, specialised psykers that can send and receive faster-then-light messages over galactic distances. Without either of those things, the Imperium would crumble.
Maybe he's still a conscious deity fighting for humanity's best interest. Maybe he's a comatose husk who would beg for death if he could communicate, but isn't being allowed to expire because the Astronomicon must exist. These questions are outside the realm of your experience and pay grade :)

I imagine he's a fictional character in this time line. The Family of Cyn is from a different game altogether, but one that I enjoy enough that I often find a way to work them into the mythology, even if it's nothing more than a passing mention.
