Electra Rah Kai, Chapter Master of the Sister Repentia
“My Lady served loyally, my Lady served bravely, and my Lady was forgotten. We remain my brothers and sister. Fight by my side, and our enemies will never forget us!” - Lady Commander Electra Rah Kai addressing the Twilight Repentia after their awakening.
Lady Commander Electra Rah Kai is the current Chapter Master of the Twilight Repentia, former lieutenant within the Imperial Army, a founding member of the Sister Repentia and the Legion’s greatest hero. She is idolized by her fellow Arbites, short of their Primarch, and serves as an example of how far one can achieve regardless of how were born. She is arguably the oldest human living since she spent the majority of the past ten-thousand years within cryosleep. She and her Legion have recently been awakened by the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes.
Biography
Early History
Electra was born into a lesser noble house of Gyptus, who was spared the horrors of war by siding with the Emperor early on. She was the youngest of six siblings in her family, therefore, according to tradition goes, she joined the Emperor’s Imperial Army. She served in serval campaigns during the later years of the Unification Wars, most notably in against the Panpacific Empire, earning rank and accolades. After serving for 8 years, she and one hundred other women were transferred to the Emperor’s personal retinue. They became candidates to start the first female Adeptus Astartes Legion to give to his missing daughter. Of the One-hundred candidates, eighty percent died during the transformation while another ten were so damaged that they had to remain in stasis. Electra and ten other women were the only candidates who survived the transformation into Astartes.
They were tested on minor campaigns against the remaining micro-nations on Terra and then later fighting the Xeno and mutant life-forms in the Sol System while the Emperor created more Astartes to fill their ranks using males instead. Because of this the Twilight Repentia - then referred as the Sister Repentia - had very limited combat exposure and would only be used as support units or as garrisons on newly conquered worlds. Electra was elected by her peers to serve as the leader until their Primarch was found, and was able to procure useful equipment for her slowly building legion.
Daughter of the Oracle
When their Primarch was found on Hope’s Landing, Electra was the only one who was not filled with joy. Instead, she saw the finding as too late to do any good that late in the Great Crusade. She was not moved by Artemis’s speech and went so far to challenge her to an honor duel over the leadership of the legion. Artemis agreed and fought her Chapter Master unarmed and unarmored while Artemis was encased in Power Armor. She lost to her Primarch who simply danced around her attacks. Ashamed at her loss and arrogance at the hands of one of the Emperor’s children, she asked Artemis for her resignation. Artemis refused, stating that Electra only thought of what was good for the Legion. She remained as Chapter Master of the newly named Twilight Repentia and was trained in the same ways Artemis was. Soon the Twilight Repentia received the glory they felt they deserved and Electra became a part of Artemis’s personal guard, the Valkyries. From there she became Artemis’s protegee’s, and they developed a close relationship.
Electra battled Gorzkull da Face-Rippa during the Orais 3 campaign, which robbed the Second and Eleventh Legion the glory of Ullanor. She fought the Ork Warboss in single combat and had almost won if it was not for the Ork’s latent weird abilities at the last minute. The following psychic blast knocked Electra out and at the mercy of the Warboss. Unfortunately for Gorzkull, the Primarchs soon took his skull. For her courage in battle, Electra was gifted with Tartaros Pattern Terminator Power Armor with an Iron Halo of Invulnerability and a new power-sword called Faithful Guardian
Battle Against Temptation
Electra and the rest of the First Company accompanied their Primarch to the surface of Eden Superior. In the shadow of pyramid-temples of the planet’s main city, their Primarch went to the tallest temple to meditate while the rest of the Company explored the surroundings. With their Vox network blocked, teams had to go out and report back in regular times. They found several underground caverns that were filled with treasure and skeletal remains of the indigenous Xenos lifeforms, locked forever in sensual embraces. Electra ordered her Company out of the caverns when the top half of the Grand Temple exploded in a shower of the city below in heavy stones. Electra saw that her Primarch had been fighting a Grand Deamon of Slaneesh, and was currently unconscious due to the psychic blast. Lifting Faithful Guardian high, Electra cried out “Nos Soltare” and lead the charge.
As she and the First Company charged up the temple’s step, strange visions began to alter her vision. Soon Electra could not tell reality and fantasy, finding herself back her ancestral on Terra. These visions did not last long as odd being began to dance around the Greater Daemon, distracting it enough for her Company to begin firing on it. Soon, they found they were no longer alone as Eldar began to appear and fire upon the daemon as well. Electra charged forward and plunged Faithful Companion into the Greater Daemon’s heart, sending it screaming back into the Warp and repaying the life debt she owed her Primarch.
Afterward, uneasy truce came between the Eldar and Astartes. Though grateful for assisting them against the daemon, she was unsure what to do with them. The protocol called for their annihilation, but she found it unhonorable to attack an ally who was not openly aggressive. She tried to communicate with them, but to no avail, and soon tensions started to grow. Before battle could start Artemis awoke and started to speak in the Eldar tongue, much the Electra’s and First Company’s surprise. Artemis called for an alliance with the Eldar who raised her, and though Battle Chaplin Jane Borella argued, they agreed when Artemis pointed out the hypocrisy of the Imperial Creed in the changing times
Alliance with the Eldar
Electra was unsure working with the Eldar of Tir-Xala, however, they proved to be stalwart allies when Artemis went to confront the Wolf and Dragon. With Artemis’s approval, the Bonesingers and techmarines started to reoutfit their Legion. Infusing their power armor with wraithbone to make them lighter and more flexible without losing their defensive capabilities. When asked if what they were doing was heretical, Electra responded that everyone is a heretic now.
Twilight on Terra
The Twilight Repentia fought their former allies on Terra, going through Chaos Daemons and fallen Astartes like a scythe through wheat. Electra commenced with raids against corrupted supply routes and assassinate major targets. She and the remaining Legionaries were called back to the palace to assist Artemis in defending Malcador the Hero while the Emperor fought Horus on the Vengeful Spirit.
When the Emperor was placed on the Golden Throne, Artemis gathered her Valkyries and told them that they would be placed in cryogenic sleep, and would only be awakened if the Imperial Palace fell to the Ruinous powers and the Throneworld was threatened. She would go into the Warp and take the fight to Chaos. Electra insisted that she should accompany her Primarch, but Artemis refused to state that the Twilight Repentia would need a leader when and if they were to be awakened. Though broken at first, she understood that Artemis only wanted to protect her Legion.
The Awakening
Currently, the XIth had been taken out of cryosleep. Their motives and goal remain unknown but await the arrival of the Primarch of the XIIIth Legion, Roboute Guilliman.
Personality
Electra Ra Kai is a typical Astartes: proud, valiant, faithful, protective of her Battle Brothers, Sisters and trusted allies and the bane of any who dares stand against the Imperium. She is a hard worker and strongly believes in following orders. She is generally reserved and has a completely different personality to her Primarch who is arrogant, fat and greedy. Unlike most the other Valkyries she doesn’t show any outward compassion to any of her subordinate, as she believes that personal struggle builds character, however, she is more than willing to do whatever it took to ensure their safety. Like most Imperials, she loathes and greatly distrusts aliens; it is for this reason she displayed incredible disdain for the Eldar in her initial encounters during the Great Crusade. However, over time, her disdain for them gradually lessened as she learned of her Primarch’s upbringing and realised the Eldar and her Legion shared a common goal.
Appearance
Before her transformation to an Astartes, Electra had classical Gyptus features: light brown skin, amber eyes, red hair, and sharp facial features. On accepting the gene-seed, her features changed, becoming more like her Primarchs. Her skin turned to a copper hue and her red hair turn black. Electra found that her hair might be a distraction under her helmet so she repeating shaves it off.
Wargear
Wraithbone Infused Power Armor - This pattern is issued to the Veterans of a Chapter’s 1st Company and is considered the most advanced form of Tactical Armour. It shared many systems with the Mk IV Maximus-pattern power armor whilst providing greater mobility for the wearer compared to the Indomitus with no loss in durability. While on Tir-Xala, the Bonesingers were able to infuse the armor with psycho-sensitive material which reacts instantly to Electra’s movement by and molds and reshapes itself to provide a tight fit, making it ideal for Electra’s combat style.
Iron Halo
Faithful Companion - It is a massive, one-handed swords, nearly as long as an average man is tall and extremely devastating both in open field and in narrow confines. It was awarded to Electra after the war with da Face-Rippa.
Storm Shield
(So another OC made. I figure to do the Chapter Master of the Twilight Repentia, just to give an idea how powerful and badass these lady marines are. I origanally based Electra off the gerudo from Legend of Zelda, and she still has a few of those features. Also… I am aware that no way in the warp would the Eldar share their tech with us stinky mon’keighs, but these are my ocs and with Guiliman coming back, Ynead doing whatever she wants, and a possible Chaos incursion on Macragge, I figure waithbone infused terminator armor actually sounds semi-plausible.)
