 A Song Of Peace (Roleplay)
comment
A Song of Peace is a Warhammer 40,000 quest with elements of Puella Magi Madoka Magica written by Swordomatic on Sufficient Velocity.The protagonist is Pandora Cadmus, a natural-born daughter of the Emperor whose background borrows liberally from one Madoka Kaname. Having been unreachable since the 21st century, Pandora returns to the materium around the time of the fall of Cadia, finding the galaxy beset by horrors, humanity under the thumb of one of those horrors, and what's left of the Emperor unrecognizable as the man she considered her father. Yet, with the Imperium on the bring of annihilation, the Emperor names her his regent - whether she likes it or not.

Nay-Theist: Lucan, second-oldest of the Sensei, views the very existence of gods - even benevolent ones - as one of the major problems making the galaxy such a Crapsack World, given the power disparity between them and mortals.

comment
Take a Third Option: When Pandora returns from her crusade in Segmentum Nihilus, she discovers that the High Lords Of Terra are preparing to launch a xenocidal crusade against the Tau of all people. She considers the option of outright vetoing the crusade (thus losing political capital), allowing it to happen (leading to the death of the Tau)... and ultimately decides to lead it herself and, instead of turning it into an exercise in genocide, turn into one in Gunboat Diplomacy. It actually ends up working even better than she hoped, thanks to the fortunate presence of Mona.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 A Song Of Peace (Roleplay) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The Imperium's doctrine holds that all aliens and mutants are to be exterminated. One of the first things Pandora does once she's in the big chair is order an end to the pogroms directed at minor alien species - though she justifies it by saying military sources are needed elsewhere. Later on, she also passes edicts to better protect the rights of abhumans.

Competitive Balance
 A Song Of Peace (Roleplay) / int_9f4a47f2
comment
Competitive Balance: At the start of the quest, readers voted which of the Sensei they would be playing as. Word of God has since stated that, while each option had different strengths, whoever the reader picked, the backstory would then establish that whichever sensei would have best complemented them died ages ago. Since Pandora, as a goddess and alpha-plus psyker with millennia of experience, is uniquely qualified to reform the Adeptus Telepathica, the siblings who could have reformed/replaced the Adeptus Mechanicus have died in the backstory, leaving her with a major problem she cannot neatly resolve.

comment
Pragmatic Hero: As regent of the Imperium Of Man, Pandora is forced to be this - she can't make the Imperium stop being monstrous all at once, any reforms she tries to enact require making compromises with other Imperial factions, and she has to split her attention between reforming the Imperium and protecting it. Several people outright tell her that making the Imperium worthy of saving is impossible, and she isn't actually certain they're wrong.

We ARE Struggling Together
 A Song Of Peace (Roleplay) / int_cbdd9a55
comment
We ARE Struggling Together: Pandora's job would be vastly easier if she could just get the people who should be her allies to cooperate. While she is fortunate enough to sign a peace treaty with the Tau and earn the respect of the Grand Provost Marshall, establishing an alliance between humans and Craftworld Eldar, getting the Adeptus Mechanicus to support her program, or not working at cross-purpose with her brother Lucan proves significantly more challenging.

Only Mostly Dead: There's apparently enough of Sanguinius's soul left to act as adviser to Pandora... and possibly enough to resurrect him. This also applies to Liranda the Knight, the sensei whose ghost is retired on a random Knight World. She could also be resurrected but doesn't want to.
