sorry, i am verry new to to the backstory of 40k and i know this will sound weird. but where did the emperor come from? just whondering for a little pet project of mine. possibly a fluff story about the birth of the Imperium.

Nobody knows, save that he was born on Terra, and was the first Human Psyker.

Also, don't do "pre-heresy" fluff unless you really know 40K fluff inside out.

I've heard in some place where the emperor was born in the medieval times, and just lived so long. There's a 40K timeline around somewhere, with some pretty good references too.
So just think, the emperor is supposedly, at this moment, walking the earth.
I wonder if he plays 40K?

[Wargamer]

Yeah, I've heard that too, but I don't much approve of it (seems daft...). Then again, saying he was a "mere human", yet still able to fight a Primarch and win is equally daft...

[Hunter]

Depends where he comes from, a super-human 7 foot tall immortal isn't going to draw much attention if he keeps himself somehwer out of the way.

And although the emperor has been written as already existsing remember that this was written before the horus heresy was though of!

actualy, that is how i was going to start the story, with a fantasy game..... ;D

Oh no, you can't have the space marines being inspired by childhood memories of the emperor! Recursion! AAARGHH!!!!

[VexedDuck]

Well, apperently the Emperor was born in ancient Turkey. Also, there is another myth that the Emperor was created by 11 powerful shamans, who combined their power to created He Who Is On Terra. I personally think this shaman magic stuff is some of the dumbest fluff GDubya has made.

Oh, yeah, I bet the Emperor rocks at 40K!

[Wargamer]

Maybe he invented it, as a sub-concious prediction of things to come...

actualy i was going to have the "space marines" actualy exist before hand. *just, not complete yet. *

i was going to use the conspircy theory of geneticly altered super soldigers of a certan goverment (read, not shure yet), *however duing the creation, that some part of the brain be fundimentaly linked to the comands of the psionic avatar of the "emperor".

though i was not sure what to do about this from here now that i know that he was born in turky
