Carcharodon markings. A little more summing up of the work on the Carcharodons. Continuing one of my very old posts. I hope this will be useful to someone.

What's your opinion on the Carcharodons, successor wise? Should it be kept nebulous as is or should it be determined?
The nebulousness is good, but I also think it's decently implicit from the novels that, at this point, the sharks are running a chimeric mix of Raven Guard, Night Lords and World Eaters gene seed. And, y'know, it makes sense. Chimeric gene seed is a logical and interesting narrative path when your chapter can't pick and choose. "One chapter" successors are boring and not particularly feasible when you're maintaining fighting strength and don't have access to the same resources as everyone else.
Also, the sharks being a blend of those three chapters fucks incredibly hard. You know it to be true.

sketchpage with Medij Arr, my Carcharodons' techmarine in the Deathwatch campaign I'm playing.
Carcharodons keep their techmarines close; odd how Medij was sent away to Deathwatch... there is a reason for that.

The Red Tithe
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fuck you @bispecsual
OC: Ophelia, 7ft tall stable mutant, female, dirty blonde hair, green eyes
tw: Carcharodon, loss of female autonomy?
Ophelia was use to being a freak. She was the tallest and broadest woman on her planet perhaps even amongst the men. But she was a stable mutant as the church declared her fine. Then the horror came... the Red Tithe as she would discover it to be called. She lived on the edge of a larger town so she had time to try and escape but somehow they discovered she existed and it was horrifying.
Ophelia ran as fast as she could as two brothers had nipped at her heels after she had to put down the children that she was carrying. They ignored them as it was clear she was important quarry. It didn't take her long to realize she was being herded. The apothecaries were excited to have her genetics running through the population of slaves or serfs or even the Astarte. What scared Ophelia so much was how silent they were... and she remembers screaming as she scrambled around the closing net before she was grabbed.
She holds in a whimper as they've made it very clear her place and why she is here... to be breeding stock... to be used and harvested until there is nothing left to harvest. She can still feel the markers being drawn on her body over where her ovaries are. She whimpers as she can feel the prowling of brothers before in a panic she slips into a room to simply hide not realizing she ushered herself into the lair of a predator.
Black eyes lock onto the shaking shoulders and ears tune into the whimpering and shuttering breaths. Tyberos can practically taste the salt in the tears. He can hear her breathing pick up as the door doesn't open and he watches those fearful green eyes dart around looking for a way out. A serf's door... anything...
Ophelia just feels dread wash over her as there is a horrible pit in her stomach. She trembles as she turns and turns right into his palm cupping her cheek and chin. Silent tears flow down her face as she should have questioned why the room was so spacious... why the furniture felt big... she was so use to everything being so small that she couldn't fathom something being bigger. She lets out a distressed sob.
He lets out a soft 'shhhh' as he pets her hair and takes a step closer. Ophelia scrambles back, her singular heart pumping so hard, the wall against her back. The fearful wail stuck in her throat as the firm bed barely gives as she is tossed onto it. Ophelia curls up on herself into the fetal position as she cowers. He whispers to her, "I'll be gentle. I promise."
She sobs still thinking this is some random Astarte she unfortunately wandered into not realizing she entered the void father's room. For Tyberos she was cute... that was a plus... he admired the fact that she ran as long as she did. She'll have many pups... and once they isolate the gene for her height and build they'll collect her eggs and like everything else they acquire... they use it for all it is worth. But as Chapter Master... he will indulge in keeping her around even if they harvest everything from her.
She lets out another sob as his tongue moves against her cheek and he inhales the smell of wildflowers, "I'm going to breed you now." He says as she just sobs beneath him.

How to take Care of: The Caracadon
ORIGINS:
The Carcharodon breed of Space Marine or formally known as the Carcharodon Astra are unknown. Testing of the Marines' gene-seed has been rather... inclusive. Most owners, think that they are a hybridization between the Raven Guard and a Night Lord descendant, while others think that they do have some World Eater within their gene seed. However, this breed appears very sporadically and their true numbers are unknown. First recording of this breed happened around M32, however this data is fragmented , and blurred.
Personally, I believe that their geneseed is chimeric between the Raven Guard, Night Lord and World Eater. This breed is almost a unicorn in rarity, almost like a Salamander hybrid breed. Since, it has taken multiple breeders, MANY attempts to get all three of these breeds into a room and making them procreate.
Appearance & Habitat:
The Carcharodon appears in its current form wearing grey armor with a black and white shark pauldron on its shoulder. However, there are two major exceptions to this rule. If an owner has an older breed, they will have yellow and black power armor with the same pauldron. The other, whom we have captured... has lighting claws and is one of if not the largest Marine that we have seen. Ever. Currently, attempts have been used for him to try and use him for breeding purposes.
The habit that the Carcharodons are the content in are low gravity, and silent places. They are a breed that somehow manged to gain the ability to communicate with themselves in complete silence. Autopsies of dead Carcharodons have shown that most of them have their vocal chords intact... but they don't use them. They will however speak if necessary to interact with others.. but otherwise... they will be ignored.
Temperament:
Carcharodons, temperament wise, are very stealthy, and blood thirst almost takes them... it will not end well. Carcharodons if housed with Marines that are not with themselves will treat them with hostile indifference. However, if you have more "questionable" breeds, that are not outright illegal (though illegal can vary much on where you are) , depending on who they are.. they will take on an antagonist role.
They are very curious, and resourceful. In fact, many of the Marines have been seen wearing mixed and rare power armors that were somehow out of print. In fact, one of the Carcharodons we have was so large that his Marine armor was a mixed of many different types.
Care:
Carcharodons are not for the novice owner. They are a highly specialized silent breed of Marine.. that if they do not respect you will at best ignore you and at worst, kill you.
Carcharodons should be housed with other Carcharodons. If done so, they will establish a strict hierarchy. In fact, it is SO strict that if a lower ranked member touches a higher rank's armor... it is seen as a death sentence to say the least. Most Carcharodons, when they were hear speaking are very tact and formal.
Do NOT see this as weakness however, as many times when a owner tries to use this Marine for hunting, they will eviscerate their foes all while without making a single noise. They are stoicism to the extreme.
They are best used as a tracking or as a working breed.
They have the ability to spot and gather lost technology, however this translates in captivity to having the issue of hoarding. If you have rare archeotech available, I would hide it from your Characdon lest they get their hands on it.
They are very very much not a big fan of Xenos, seeing them often attacking many a Xeno owner. This had led to many of them unfortunately being put down.
Aliments:
While all Marines are in the peak of trans human shape, their minds can still vulnerable to certain issues. Some examples would be the Blood Angels breed with the Red Thirst, Black Templar with their zealotry; the breed has the Chill of the Void which happens in three phases.
Withdrawal: The breed at this state will start to become more cold both to you and to the Battle brothers. They will start to speak to High Gothic to Marines.
Merciless: This is where if the breed is used for tracking, will start to use his loose. They are harsh and merciless to anyone who is not loyal to either you (if you trained them well enough) nor the Imperium. If you need any form of interrogation, the Marine will execute them, even if they have surrendered or have crucial inflammation.
Silence: At this point, this breed is gone. The Marine will withdraw and become as silent as the grave. If they are working with other Marines they will refuse, and will try and complete missions on their own.
In Conclusion:
If you are looking for a silent, hunter with a tenacity unique to the Imperial Fists, then this breed is right for you.

A lot of people tend to think that the Carcharodons were created after GW retconned the Space Sharks because their chapter name was too silly for the more serious tone 40K had adopted but this is wrong. Both SM chapter exist simultaneously and Tyberos and who ever the hell the chapter master of the Space Sharks is are boyfriends. I don’t make the rules, they just appear in my head as thoughts and I arbitrarily enforce them, sorry.

It's me, Heretic anon. Now that I think about Carcharodons Astra, you know there's something about these unsocial men that's so sexy. Yes Tyberos daddy
Soft, adoring touches and caresses emerging almost bashfully. As if revelations of this hidden intimacy might shatter illusion of threat they so carefully cultivate. Tentative tenderness born of strange possessive affection and delusion of gentling the beast within.
Languid, drowsy quality to embraces and kisses suggesting they have finally "come ashore" from some endless, bloody sea. Finding port only in another's arms, pacified at long last. But deep down, the shark still circles, and hungry jaws still prowl.
The anger and violence are replaced by gentleness around you, suggest their affection is but another outlet for primal rage and hungers. Softness borne not of care, but merest interlude between feasts, where their attentions corrupt through overindulgence alone.
Any gentleness shown is but another leash, and possesiveness gradually replaces even the myth of affection or care. Their nature as hunters and predators emerges once more, for what else are they? But in private, the chase is lifelong.
Whispers of how their savagery in battle proves the depths of passion that shall be theirs alone to sate. Implying even their grim violence is but pale shadow of delights that shall burn in private, away from prying eyes. Delighting not just in anguish, but myth of fiery, possessve love.
Good luck playing with fire, I totally see why you would think that but…. Okay, Tyberos daddy deserves it.
Also, I have somethings for you
Silent, threatening presence. Lurking at the edges of sight, a looming shadow representing doom. They are just watching to protect you from any danger. But with you, your imagination is filled in horror of their appearance and appetites. Fear of attracting their gaze.
Their comforting whispers are bad omens of agony and terror. Brief, guttural snarls and cries emerging from unseen speakers, hinting at suffering that shall be theirs if foolish enough to believe themselves safe.
Casual violence, harsh, unchecked violence meted out against enemies, criminals or even mere inconveniences. A display of might and bloodlust, showing no mercy, to flaunt strength, prove thier's worth with you.
Sobering glimpses of deadened, corrupted souls. Eyes devoid of pity, empathy or joy. Speaking only of savagery, conquest and ruin. A glimpse into what awaits any hapless enough to rouse their "interest" for longer than a breath.
Polite and even charm, but implying each compliment or pleasantry is a leashed beast's growl, ready to rend flesh. Speaking of delight that shall be theirs to sate primal hungers, not share joy.
Appearing as saviors from dangers that merely prefigure their touch. Implying debt shall now be repaid through flesh and screams rather than gratitude. Any gratitude shown merely delay before predator reveals true form.
Promises of "purpose" and "meaning". Hints that in their ruthless embrace, you might finally safe and know why the galaxy spills blood and screams.

I wonder what media we have still exist in the 40k universe. Imagine if someones knowledge of early terra was just tapes or cds of jingle all the way, a couple of episodes of Seinfeld, american pyscho, and jaws 3. Sorry
Inquisitor Crowl from the Vaults of Terra novels is familiar with Bach’s music, though he calls him “Bacque” until a Haemonculus corrects him and laments how far humanity has fallen. Crowl thinks about Bach like his music is an ancient, deeply moving and personal thing.
Cawl is familiar with Goldilocks and the Three Bears, though he calls her “Gul Du Lac” and muddles the story about her into the actual Goldilocks Theory.
Guilliman is a huge fan of all three of Shakespeare’s plays, by his own admission.
The Carcharodons Astra have absolutely seen Jaws 3. Look at them. Everything they know about sharks is taken from Jaws and The Meg. Tyberos also has a collection of Blue Planet DVDs but no one is allowed near those priceless relics or he starts cutting off limbs. The quickest way to lose your life in his presence is to talk shit about the Oothecan Imperial Saint known as Davyyd At’unnbrugh

“What do you think of the theory that the Charcarodons are a lost Legion?”
Carcharodons. Space Sharks. Love them.
It’s an interesting idea. A few GW bits have suggested they are created with chimerical gene-seed using Raven Guard and Night Lord DNA. That could be possible: there were loyalist Night Lord defectors in the Raven Guard (and versa.)
I don’t know, really; I do like the idea, but GW has a habit of strongly implying something and then quickly backing away from it.
Personally, I love the idea that they were created with Sevatar’s Gene-Seed. But there is also a really well formulated fan hypothesis that they are in fact loyalist World Eaters, which makes a hell of a lot of sense.
What do you think, little mortals?
