Line 31:
* [[Canon Immigrant]]:
** One in particular is a quote from a Vindicare Assassin designated LIIVI, who ([[Ascended Fanon|probably]] [[Epileptic Trees|just]]) shares a name with a character from one of 40K's most popular fanfics, ''Love Can Bloom''. And the target matches: the cover picture of the Ascension GM section has a Vindicare stalking a Farseer...
** Adept Castus Grendel, a character from a famous /tg/ copypasta was featured on the ''Radical's Handbook'' preview [//www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/ffg_blog/20554/original_content] (along with some exploits and companions). To muddle the water a little, ''Knowledge is Power'' mentions some Adept Grendel working for Malleus in the same area, but he's a psyker.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: The Pilgrims of Hayte, the iconic example of a Chaos cult in it [[For the Evulz]].
* [[Church Militant]]: In addition to the standard Cleric career path, the ''Inquisitor's Handbook'' offers Sisters of Battle as a character class option. The ''Blood of Martyrs'' sourcebook offers expanded options for both.
* [[Church of Happyology]]: One adventure includes a particular Cult of the Emperor called "The Joyous Choir" with a central dogma that the [[God-Emperor]] wants his subjects to be happy, and they can be happy by finding their true place in His plan. People are judged on how close they are to their place in the Emperor's will by use of an electronic scanning device, and based on the results of that scan they receive coaching from the cult's priests. Many young planetary nobles have joined, and have indeed enjoyed greater prosperity for themselves since joining. Of course, a rational-minded Inquisitor will point out that by forming various cooperative and trade agreements between nobles who are members, of course they will find their fortunes benefit. Said cult also has some records it would very much like to keep from public exposure...
* [[Class and Level System]]:
** Adept - experts in lore and suchlike.
** Arbitrator - investigation and clobbering.
** Assassin - as expected, stealth plus either sniping or stabbing.
** Cleric
** Guardsman
** Imperial Psyker
** Scum - denizens of the underworld with useful skills.
** Tech-Priest
** Adepta Sororitas (from ''The Inquisitor’s Handbook'')
* [[Cold Sniper]]: The ''Ascension'' [[Splat]] book mentions that Vindicare Assassins tend to be very detached, methodical, and [[The Stoic|stoic]] thanks to their discipline and training, though they are known to sometimes express [[Deadpan Snarker|a very dry and fatalistic sense of humor]].
* [[Conditioned to Accept Horror]]: The "Jaded" trait. Through either a lifetime of bad experiences, careful training, or just a callous nature, characters with this trait never have to take insanity checks from "mundane" sources of horror. Supernatural sources can still druge up their fears though.
