Suggested Characteristics

Void Marines are an effective, if occasionally unruly lot, looked up to by other soldiers and whose rough edges are tolerated by their superiors due to their battle skills. They are veteran warriors who rarely lose composure on the battlefield. Void Marines who leave the service tend to work as mercenaries, but their combat experience also makes them excellent adventurers. Though they are self-reliant, Void Marines tend to operate best in groups, valuing camaraderie and the companionship of like-minded individuals.
