Plot
The planetary system of Kaurava.
Since the outbreak of the Warp Storm on Kaurava IV, the planets suffered a long setback of casualties as nearly every force in the galaxy descended upon this planet system. Everyone of the four planets were dramatically changed in both geological and economic situations, but the war was at least stopped.
The Ork Tribes of Kaurava II were slaughtered by the noble forces of Brother-Captain Indrick Boreale, but somehow in all distress, the Ork Warboss Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter managed to escape, and the planet was claimed by the Blood Ravens for decontamination and quarantine 'till every single trace of Ork was gone. The Tau, lead by the Commander Shas'O Or'es'Ka, were also driven back by the forces of Boreale, and thus, their moon base on Kaurava II's moon was left abandoned, yet still operational.
On Kaurava I, the Imperial Guards were confronted by the fanatical Sisters of Battle, under the iron fist rule of Canoness Selena Agna, and half of the planet was purged in their zealous cause of praising the Holy God-Emperor. Vance Stubbs foresaw his defeat as the fanatical sisters burned his base to cinders, and fled in an Imperial Shuttle, escaping an absolute death. However, the Sisters captured several Guardsmen, and brought them to interrogation and - later on - crucification for betrayal against the Emperor.
In the dunes of Kaurava III, the Necrons - who were once a plague on this planet during the invasion of the Warp Storm - were pushed back into their sand-filled tombs thanks to the Eldar's intervenion, and under the wise lead of Farseer Caerys, the Eldar assured that the Necrons would not arise for at least a millennia or so. Proud of their achievements, the Eldars erected a base on the desert planet, and made a safeguard position on the once proud bastion location of the Necron Lord of All Kaurava.
Over the skies of Kaurava IV, the Warp Storm's heavy influence of madness and corruption had tainted the 4th planet for all time, even if the Chaos Space Marines were completely eradicated from this planet later on by the Space Marines. The Dark Eldar and their Archon Tahril made a swift escape into the fluctuations of the Webway, and were to never return, it seemed. Firraveus Carron - the once cruel and iron-fisted Chaos Lord - was defeated in combat by Indrick Boreale, and struck down by this ones Daemonhammer, his soul being banished to the Warp itself.
And so...peace prospered on the Kaurava System.........but not until another Warp Storm appeared.
Another, more powerful Warp Storm appeared above the Kaurava System, and once again, all the races in the galaxy descended on the Kaurava System, once again bent on victory and domination.
Which side are you on?
Spoiler:
The Races
=The Space Marines=
Foremost amongst the defenders of mankind are the Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes, the greatest of the God-Emperor's soldiers. They are barely human at all, but superhuman; having been made superior in all respects to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning and rigorous training. Space Marines are untouched by plague and can suffer wounds that would kill a lesser being several times over, and live to fight again. Clad in power armour and wielding the most potent weapons known to man, the Space Marines are terrifying foes and their devotion to the Emperor and the Imperium of Man is unbreakable. They are the Angels of Death, and they shall know no fear.
=The Orks=
Orks are a warlike green-skinned race, spread across the galaxy. They are seen by their enemies (everyone else) as savage, warlike, and crude, but they are the most successful species in the whole galaxy, outnumbering possibly every other race (With the very plausible exception of the Tyranids, which are split between thousands of subspecies bred for specific purposes). However, this massive race is split into hundreds of tiny empires, often warring between themselves. It has been joked amongst other races that, were the Orks ever to unite, they would undoubtedly crush all opposition that would dare to stand against this tsunami of green muscle.
=The Chaos Space Marines=
During the Horus Heresy, the huge civil war that pitted battle-brother Marine on Marine, there appeared two factions. They were the Imperium of Man, led by the Emperor and forced by the righteous and powerful Space Marines, and the ruinous powers of Chaos, an evil force led by the four Gods and spearheaded by Warmaster Horus, the Emperor's most trusted friend and adviser. Chaos had daemons, heretics and the dreaded Chaos Space Marines. Former Space Marine, they were turned by the powers of Chaos. Their armor twisted to portray their new allegiance, the Chaos Space Marines fight for everything they were forbidden to have before. Wealth, riches, power and pleasure.
=The Eldar=
The Eldar are a race of elf-like humanoids, the most ancient and advanced of all races, with the exception of the Old Ones, the Necrons and their C'tan masters. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology. Superficially, the Eldar appear very similar to humans, though they are generally taller, faster, lithe of limb, slim of face with sharp features and pointed ears. The Eldar are essentially Elves in their physical attributes. They are long-lived by human standards, and most will live more than a thousand years unless they die from accident or disease. As a race they have a high level of psychic ability, which serves as the foundation of their technology. The Eldar that actively cultivate their psychic potential seem to exhibit a much-extended lifespan as well, one proportional to their prowess. In this way the leaders and Seers of the Eldar may live for several thousand years. One matter of note is that Eldar have sometimes referred to humans as "mammals" typically with a derogatory label like "the mon-keigh", implying that they evolved from something else, their attributes and physiology have indicated such speculation as far-ranging as aquatic organisms or bird-like creatures, although some type of reptile seems most likely (despite their current human-like appearance, their ancestors may not have had a head with two eyes, or an upright body with two arms and two legs at all!) However, given the Eldar's legendary arrogance, this may also simply be a way for them to put themselves above the other races of the galaxy. They likely see themselves as completely separate from the normal classifications. Indeed, they may not have even evolved at all, given their creation by the Old Ones.
=The Necrons=
In the table-top wargame Warhammer 40,000, the Necrons are a mysterious robot-like race that have lain dormant and unknown by the other races of the universe for millions of years, and are reemerging in the distant future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. They were a humanoid race of great technological prowess, but out of vengeance against a more fortunate race, and the trickery of godlike entities born from the stars, they shed their organic forms and lost all forms of compassion and humanity, becoming ruthless killing machines as a result.
=The Tau Empire=
The Tau are a young, technological race fighting for what they call the Greater Good. They claim to be a peaceful race when possible, asking if others will join their cause instead of fighting. However if their peaceful overtures are refused, the Tau may well decide to conquer the planet for the greater good, searing the flesh from the bones of anyone who stands against their beginning expansions. Tau society is divided into a number of castes, each responsible for a specific aspect of society. The Tau ideal is that everyone in the empire will work for the good of everyone. The Tau are the central figures of the Tau Empire, which is composed of several species, primarily the Kroot of Pech, the Vespid of Vespid and the nomadic Nicassar, though there are now several human-Tau Septs. The Tau are a relatively young race (6000 years, Imperial Inquisitors first noted of the Tau when they were still experimenting with fire or the wheel), having evolved rapidly over the past few millennia. Not keeping with the trend of young races, the Tau have made remarkable leaps in technology.
=The Sisters of Battle - Adepta Sororitas=
The Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle and formerly known as the Daughters of the Emperor, are female warriors belonging to the religious arm of the Imperial government known as the Adeptus Ministorum, or Ecclesiarchy. The Adepta Sororitas was formed under Sebastian Thor's reforms of the Ecclesiarchy late in the Age of Apostasy. At the same period, the Daughters of the Emperor were divided into two main orders, one on Terra and the other on Ophelia VII. They have recently become tied to a part of the Imperial Inquisition which is tasked to hunt down and destroy heretics and unsanctioned psychics (commonly known as "rogue psykers"), and has strong ties to the Ecclesiarchy.
=The Dark Eldar=
The Dark Eldar are a Kindred of the Eldar, an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology, though they are often lacking in resilience and numbers. The Dark Eldar revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme. Dark Eldar armies make use of various anti-gravity skimmers such as Raiders and Ravagers to launch high speed attacks. They strike with little or no warning, using an interdimensional labyrinth known as the Webway to traverse the galaxy safely and far more quickly than most races are able to with their Warp jumps. The Dark Eldar are unique amongst the races in the sense that they do not occupy many planets, but rather one dark city - Commorragh. They are mainly pirates, though are sometimes used as mercenaries. Dark Eldar, like most Eldar Kindreds, make use of advanced technology, including anti-gravity devices, dark matter weaponry, nanotechnology and psychic artifacts. While Dark Eldar do make use of psychic devices, they do not use psychic powers themselves. Psykers are treated as playthings in Commorragh, and given the twisted sadistic nature of the Dark Eldar, this necessarily involves pain and torment for the psyker. Over time, Dark Eldar begin to suffer more and more from the Thirst. They develop an all-consuming and ever-increasing need to drink the souls of other beings. It is postulated that the cause of this is the Chaos God Slaanesh, the Great Enemy of the Eldar, who leeches the soul-essence of the Dark Eldar while they still live. Dark Eldar drink souls to stave off this leeching - perhaps by sating the thirst of Slaanesh, or perhaps by replenishing the essence of their own souls with that of the consumed one. Slaanesh will also consume the souls of Dark Eldar whole should they die. Dark Eldar are long-lived but not immortal; drinking souls has a rejuvinating effect that reverses aging, thus Dark Eldar need not fear falling into the clutches of Slaanesh due to death from old age, if they have a constant supply of souls. The usual source of souls are those of the many captives taken during Dark Eldar raids.

My Application
Full Name: Confessor Darelean Bonfurndus VIII
Age: 66
Appearance: Like any Confessor, Darelean wears the robes of a monk with a top hat on his head, which is bald on the top with long strings of grey hair on the sides. His top hat has elderly inscriptions of the God-Emperor himself, and describe His holy words and praises. His beard is long and reaches his lower chest area, and in his right hand he always holds a pentagram of the countless names of Guardsmen, Marines, and other xeno beings he has executed in the name of The Emperor. His robes and top hat are brown with indigo trims.
Race: Adepta Sororitas (Sisters of Battle)
Weapons: Inferno Pistol, Mace of Dimmamar
History: In his older childhood days, Darelean was deeply inspired by the Emperor's words, and he was always the most handiest student in his class in the monastery he attended to. He became Scholar at the age of 24, and was assigned to read and preach in Sunday School for the other aspiring children of His Grace.
After he attended to Ophelia VII for deeper invigoration and religious beliefs, he became a Missionary at the age of 49, and was furthermore inspired by spreading the Word of The Emperor to other planets, preaching of His Greatness and had many followers in both his own and the Emperor's name.
Later on, his skills in religious propaganda and clean, spotless reputation, he became Confessor at the age of 60, and has in his 6 years never seen such a great taint as the one over the Kaurava System at this moment. Spurred on by this abominal taint, and by his own will to spread the Emperor's words, he descended with a fleet of the Sisters of Battle's finest regiments from Ophelia VIII, and will do all in his might to taint the alien, mutant, and heretic alike.
