# Development Log - Echo Legion / Warpforged Faction
|
||||
|
||||
## Original Concept Discussion
|
||||
|
||||
### Initial Post (User)
|
||||
- Fan faction for Warhammer 40k, tentatively called "Warpborn"
|
||||
- Civilian world with STC caches lost to Warp few thousand years ago
|
||||
- Local militia and Astartes deployment also lost
|
||||
- World was essentially a "Forge World" with great machines and STCs
|
||||
- Soldiers fell to Chaos, but civilians held firm with Mechanicus maintaining equipment
|
||||
- Made vow to protect geneseed when last Astartes fell
|
||||
- Evolved over time, gained reality-altering powers bound by materialist beliefs
|
||||
- Primary ability: short-range teleportation ("warp") - 30ft max in realspace
|
||||
- Reverse-engineered Astartes armor into lighter exoskeletons
|
||||
- Swore never to "warp" the protected geneseed/artifact
|
||||
- Eventually found way back to Materium
|
||||
|
||||
### ChatGPT Suggestions
|
||||
- Recommended "Echo Legion" name as fitting
|
||||
- Suggested they be "echoes of their lost world"
|
||||
- Questions about relationship with Imperium, Chaos Gods, Mechanicus
|
||||
- Name alternatives: Materiarchs, Ironborn, Warpstriders, Echo Legion
|
||||
|
||||
### User Clarifications - Relationships
|
||||
- **Imperium**: Not enemies, not allies - know they may be attacked as "Warp-tainted"
|
||||
- **Astartes Chapter**: Suspicion and hostility, but eventual cooperation
|
||||
- **First Contact Scenario**: Echo Legion emerges behind embattled Astartes, helps defeat common enemy
|
||||
- Detailed dialogue of first meeting, presenting armor clearly based on Astartes design
|
||||
- Present artifact: "We believe in facts, not falsehoods. Falsehoods get you killed in the warp"
|
||||
- **Chaos Gods**: Viewed as lies, immaterial things that can't be proven
|
||||
- **Mechanicus**: Initially heretical, but grudging cooperation when STCs revealed
|
||||
|
||||
## Combat Doctrine Development
|
||||
|
||||
### User's Vision
|
||||
- Born/raised/trained in Warp = enhanced awareness like "video game processing"
|
||||
- Hyper-mobility focused, energy weapons primarily
|
||||
- Tech priests from original vanishing now serve as historians/educators in colonies
|
||||
- Warp time dilation: short time for them = potentially pre-Age of Strife disappearance
|
||||
- Absolute momentum control when teleporting
|
||||
- Aesthetics: Astartes + pre-Mechanicus, brutal but functional and field-maintainable
|
||||
|
||||
### ChatGPT Refinements
|
||||
- Enhanced perception through Warp adaptation
|
||||
- Predictive combat algorithms
|
||||
- Suggested energy weapon types (plasma, volkite)
|
||||
|
||||
### Weapon System Evolution
|
||||
- **Echo Pattern Lasguns**: Modified to draw from exoskeleton power
|
||||
- High damage point-blank (cripple Astartes), medium damage at range, ineffective long range
|
||||
- **Power System Specialization**: Las/Volkite/Plasma require different armor configurations
|
||||
- **Modular but Limited**: Can cross-use with penalties (burnout, power drain, incompatibility)
|
||||
|
||||
## Armor Class System Development
|
||||
|
||||
### User's Three-Tier System
|
||||
1. **Light Exo-Armor**: Balance ranged/melee, primarily mid-short range
|
||||
2. **Medium Exo-Armor**: Distance focus, "get-off-me" melee weapons
|
||||
3. **Heavy Exo-Armor**: Either pure ranged OR sword-and-shield melee specialist
|
||||
|
||||
### ChatGPT Expansion
|
||||
- Detailed roles, weapons, mobility, and tactics for each class
|
||||
- Light = Skirmishers/Assault
|
||||
- Medium = Fire Support/Tactical Response
|
||||
- Heavy = Frontline Breakers/Defensive Bastions
|
||||
|
||||
### User Refinements
|
||||
- **Power System Integration**: Las/Volkite/Plasma determining armor type
|
||||
- **Cross-compatibility Issues**: Volkite thrusters on Las = excessive consumption, etc.
|
||||
- **Field Maintenance**: Screwdriver-level repairs vs Astartes complexity
|
||||
|
||||
## Naming Issues Identified
|
||||
|
||||
### Problems
|
||||
- "Vestroya" too close to canon "Vostroya" - confusion risk
|
||||
- Astartes chapters didn't exist pre-Age of Strife - lore conflict
|
||||
|
||||
### Solutions Discussed
|
||||
- **Planet Names**: Orelis Prime, Daskara, Velkaris, Erethos, etc.
|
||||
- **Faction Names**: Warpforged, Riftborn, Iron Calculus, etc.
|
||||
- **Oath Recipients**: Mechanicum Protectorate, Thunder Warriors, Rogue Trader Dynasty, Federation of Man
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
## Core Elements to Preserve
|
||||
1. **Three Armor Tiers** (Las/Volkite/Plasma) - User emphasized multiple times

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
6. **Anti-Chaos Stance** - View Chaos Gods as lies, effects as provable phenomena

|
||||

# Echo Legion / Warpforged - Quick Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Faction Identity
|
||||
- **Name**: Echo Legion (Original) / Warpforged (Alternative to avoid Vostroya confusion)
|
||||
- **Origin**: Lost world Vestroya/Orelis Prime (pre-Age of Strife forge world)
|
||||
- **Status**: Evolved humans with Warp-granted abilities, but staunchly materialist
|
||||
- **Philosophy**: "The Calculus of Steel" - only believe in provable material truths
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Abilities
|
||||
- **Warpstride**: Short-range teleportation (30ft max in realspace, unlimited in Warp)
|
||||
- **Reality Anchor**: Mental resistance to Chaos corruption due to materialist beliefs
|
||||
- **Hyper-Cognition**: Enhanced battlefield awareness, processes information like a "video game"
|
||||
- **Momentum Control**: Can reverse direction mid-teleport without inertia effects
|
||||
|
||||
## Three Armor Tiers (ESSENTIAL)
|
||||
1. **Light Exo-Armor (Las-powered)**
|
||||
- Role: Skirmishers/Assault
|
||||
- Weapons: Echo Pattern Lasguns (high damage close range, falloff at distance)
|
||||
- Melee: Scaled-down chainblades, power daggers, mono-swords
|
||||
- Mobility: Maximum agility, fastest teleportation
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Medium Exo-Armor (Volkite-powered)**
|
||||
- Role: Fire Support/Tactical Response
|
||||
- Weapons: Echo Pattern Volkite weapons, long-range las
|
||||
- Melee: "Get-off-me" weapons (shock batons, compact knives)
|
||||
- Mobility: Balanced, hover capability
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Heavy Exo-Armor (Plasma-powered)**
|
||||
- Role: Frontline Breakers/Defensive Bastions
|
||||
- Weapons: Either suppressive ranged OR sword-and-shield melee focus
|
||||
- Melee: Powered warblades and shields (if melee variant)
|
||||
- Mobility: Controlled charges, strongest thrusters
|
||||
|
||||
## Technology Notes
|
||||
- **Modular but Limited**: Cross-compatibility between armor types has drawbacks
|
||||
- Volkite thrusters on Las systems = excessive power consumption
|
||||
- Las thrusters on Volkite systems = rapid burnout
|
||||
- Plasma components incompatible with other systems
|
||||
- **Field Repairable**: Unlike Astartes gear, designed for screwdriver-level maintenance
|
||||
- **Three Intact STCs**: Complete functional units, not fragments
|
||||
- **No Warp-Field Tech**: Refuse to use anything that can't be "proven"
|
||||
|
||||
## Relationships
|
||||
- **Imperium**: Neutral but wary - not enemies, not allies
|
||||
- **Mechanicus**: Complex - initially heretical, grudgingly work together due to STCs
|
||||
- **Chaos**: View Chaos Gods as "immaterial lies" - see effects but not beings themselves
|
||||
- **Astartes**: First contact involved presenting protected geneseed/artifact to prove loyalty
|
||||
|
||||
## Philosophy: "The Constants"
|
||||
- The Forge Unbroken (Durability of metal)
|
||||
- The First Bullet (Ballistic certainty)
|
||||
- The Eternal Flame (Power of combustion)
|
||||
- NOT gods - just personified concepts to reinforce materialist beliefs
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Story Elements
|
||||
- Made vow to protect geneseed/artifact when last defenders fell
|
||||
- Colony ship built with 3 STCs when they left their world
|
||||
- Tech-priests from original world now serve as historians/educators in colonies
|
||||
- Time dilation: Few thousand years for them = potentially pre-Age of Strife disappearance
|
||||
- Prefer energy weapons but appreciate kinetics
|
||||
- Some have trouble processing realspace after Warp-birth
|
||||
|
||||
## Combat Doctrine
|
||||
- Hyper-mobility focused
|
||||
- Precision strikes over brute force
|
||||
- Teleportation used for flanking, momentum shifts, and tactical repositioning
|
||||
- Enhanced perception allows predictive combat
|
||||
- Battlefield roles clearly defined by armor type
|
||||
|
||||
## Naming Issues to Address
|
||||
- "Vestroya" too close to canon "Vostroya"
|
||||
- Need pre-Astartes faction to have sworn oath to (Mechanicum Protectorate, Thunder Warriors, etc.)
|
||||
- Alternative planet names: Orelis Prime, Daskara, Velkaris, etc.
|
||||
- Alternative faction names: Warpforged, Riftborn, Iron Calculus, etc.
