History: Jessica Q Herriot was born as James Q Herriot on the forge world of Idumea in the Calixis sector about 200 years ago. She was the son of Brood-Servitor 71433-STINDEJAV-"1337-Jane" and Magos STX-747-"Gowron". James proved every bit as intelligent as expected from the son of such an august individual and his hand-picked brood-servitor. Raised as part of the Mechanicus equivalent of the Schola Progenium, it was noted when he was five that he displayed distinctly effeminate characteristics, and so he was sent to the Lathe World of Het for deeper gene and psychological scans than were possible on Idumea.

Fortunately for Jessica, his ship was attacked by chaos pirates en-route, and he was taken as a prize by the captain of one of the raiders: "Sha McNicol", a pantheist of the so-called "Uriac Congregation" of chaos worshipers.

The 'Uriac Congregation' is a sect of chaos worship based around the principle that the Chaos Gods are manifestations of the fundamental forces of liberty and freedom in a universe that would otherwise be static and 'perfect': the same unchanging 'perfection' of a crystal: orderly, regimented, predetermined, unchanging; lifeless. The Uriahs believe that chaos is neither good nor evil: but that it IS necessary. Each of the chaos gods represents both the best and worst aspects of one of the fundamental forces of the psyche of a major galactic race: Khorn is Anger, Hate, and ****: which both destroys worlds: AND topples tyrants. Nurgle is Life itself: both the fact that it sickens and dies, but also that it is born, grows and spreads. Tzeentch is cunning, forethought, ingenuity, and politics (all the powers of the sapient mind): which builds (and eventually destroys) almost every civilization. Slaanesh is Pleasure, Pain, Addiction, and Recovery: the inherent struggle in the mind of all sapient beings between the polar opposite states of their psyche. Each of them can be a **** for good: if you keep yourself under control: or a **** for evil, if you surrender to them totally.

This idea found a willing ear in Captain Sha McNicol's new errand boy, and far more when it was revealed that among the followers of the Chaos Gods, being dissatisfied with your birth gender was not even uncommon: why some of the dark god's followers had been granted the ability to alter theirs on a whim...

For 5 years 'James' (now dressing as a girl and calling herself "Jessica",) worked as the Captain's runner and messenger, unknowing that 'she' was being trained as the Captain's apprentice. She had the best rejuvenate treatments available during this time and so effectively only aged one year.

Then, on a mission to Cypherus Secundus, she shot and killed an Inquisitor sneaking up behind an Alpha Legion Chaos Sorcerer while he was conducting a ritual that might have utterly annihilated him if interrupted. As fate would have it, that sorcerer was also a follower of the Chaos Prophet Uriah Olathaire, the last true priest of Terra: and for a Uriac practitioner, repaying one's debts is seen as a very serious matter. As such, this sorcerer, Leviticus Bernardon, bought 'Jessica' from Captain Sha McNicol, and had him sent to one of the Dark Apothecaries* within the Alpha Legion for induction and training.
*(Fabius Bile is the most renowned and best of these individuals from any legion, but far from the ONLY one...)

Thirty-one years later, 'Jessica' was a fully vested member of the Alpha Legion, and given 'her' first assignment. She was to go back to the Calixis sector and create, from scratch, a chaos cult on the planet of Malfie. 'She' would have no support, no contacts, and no equipment other than her standard gear: this was a variant of one of the Legion's standards 'trials-by-fire'.

It took 'Jessica most of twenty years working in the Malfian Underhive, but she succeeded, and then, out of the blue, was contacted and told to return to the Legion outpost in the Screaming Vortex. For the next 140 years, she served as a mainline soldier in the war-band of the Chaos Warlord Maximus Romero, who, upon finally achieving the coveted status of Demon Prince, bestowed the status of Aspiring Champion on each of the space marines under him who he felt was worthy: one of which, was Jessica*, and broke up the war-band to have some of its members serve each individual so honored.
*(Note the lack of quotes: a few years before Maximus became a Demon Prince Jessica managed to secure a minor chaos artifact containing a demon of Slaanesh who she convinced to make her a woman in exchange for its freedom... However, the demon realized something Jessica had even then not quite come to terms with, her true gender identity was non-binary, 'she' didn't want to be male or female, but rather "Both", and the demon felt it would be easier in the short term AND more profitable in the long term to give Jessica her true desire...)

Personality: Jessica is an aggressive and outspoken sort, she sees what she wants and goes for it, but is not above using subtlety and subterfuge to do it. Jessica also tends to follow orders, she has a certain innate respect for the chain of command and will follow it as long as it is not clearly being used to screw her or hers over, in which case she will start thinking 'laterally'...

Appearance:
(Artican, if you would do the honors for the picture, please?)

Jessica stands roughly 9'9" tall and weighs in at 40 stone without her armor, almost all of that bone, muscle, and sinew, except for about 3 stone or so of fat that's packed strategically into her tits and ass or in small amounts in other mission-critical pockets throughout the body, like inside the long bones of the legs and arms where it's needed to help produce blood, and in a thin film around the small intestine where it aids in efficient digestion.

Like all Space Marines, Jessica is beyond buff, making any bodybuilder look like a shrimp who couldn't lift a five-pound weight, but that's tempered a bit by the fact that she's a Futanari, so she has some very weird chaos tainted chemicals in her system. However, she's still about two thirds again as tall as even the largest unmutated pure-strain humans.

Jessica's Current Long Term Goals:

1: Become a "Demon Princess": While Jessica has come to accept, (and even begun to enjoy a little,) her true gender identity as a fully functional hermaphrodite, she still thinks of herself mostly as "Female Plus". As such she wants to become a not a Demon Prince, but rather a "Demon Princess". (What's in a name? When you're kicking around the Warp? A LOT.) Towards this end, she is gathering followers and looking to get on the good side of various powerful warp entities: especially Greater Demons and existing Demon Princes/Princesses/Primarchs.

2: Of course, above all, she seeks to maintain the continued favor, (or at least toleration,) of her Primarch, Omegon, the last Primarch to neither disappear, die, nor become a Demon Primarch. The Alpha Legion's spies are everywhere, especially among the ranks of their own servants, and she knows that her status as Aspiring Champion can be revoked at any time he chooses.†
†(Or at least, her status as a member of the Alpha Legion,‡ which is almost, [but not exactly,] the same thing...)
‡(Also, anyone who is expelled from the Alpha Legion can expect to be killed very shortly thereafter unless they are already a Demon Prince/ess in their own right: and in that case most likely would not be expelled but bound into a chaos artifact for several centuries as an object lesson on who's in charge around here: repeatedly if necessary.)

3: On a more personal note: she is seeking to track down Captain Sha McNicol†, who saved her from being turned into a servitor when the Deep Psyche Scans of Het discovered that she was transgender. She wishes to properly thank the captain and then, more importantly, secure The Captain's assistance in transporting her war-band to various locations they are required to reach for their missions. If it turns out that the captain has died, (Piracy is a high entropy profession,) then she will try to ally with her descendants, or, if her entire line is extinguished and/or they don't have a ship‡, find another Uriac Chaos pirate captain to join forces with.
†(I'm not sure how I've managed to avoid making this clear so far, but Captain Sha McNicol is also a woman...)
‡(In this latter instance she will seek to get them one as well: as has been mentioned, paying one's debts is very important to members of the Uriac Congregation.)

4: On a less friendly note: Jessica has, from an early point in her career with the Alpha Legion, been planning and plotting ways to engender the collapse of the Calixis Sector. One of her more workable plans involves engendering a civil war between the old power center of Malfie and the sector capital of Scintilla. Another involves creating sectarian **** between the Ecclesiarchy and Adeptus Mechanicus, which has the added advantage that if it can be made severe and dogmatic enough the conflict could spread to other sectors...

5: Jessica wants to expand her warband beyond a single squad of unreliable cultists and her personal lovers - in particular, she wants to recruit some Beastmen and some Ogyrn.

6: Jessica knows that one of the big things you have to do to earn the status of Demon Princess, is to destroy an imperial world... She's got a prime target in mind: Pilgrim's Pause, a world in the Calixis Sector which houses many of the sector's honored dead. Destroying a site considered so 'holy' by the Imperium will surely win the Chaos God's favor. To do that she needs more than a war-band she needs an army: and a BIG one.

7: This one is seemingly simple but also complex: Jessica Want's to get pregnant and give birth. However, she needs a strong and worthy sire for her children...

8: Another event the Chaos Gods favor is the spreading of disharmony among the imperium's people, to this end she plans to instill "Spur" addiction among the people of any imperial planet she visits.

9: Refocusing on politics for a second: Jessica believes that a big part of what is wrong with the Imperium is their stagnant and stifling political system: to that end, she will promote political debate and free thinking wherever she goes...

10: Last, but not least: Jessica harbors an abiding hatred for the main-line Mechanicus: and her father in particular. If she can find a way to destroy ether Idumea, Het, or him without compromising her other goals: she would take it in a heartbeat.
