[40k / RP-adjacent] So as soon as I'm in a good financial situation, I'm probably gonna be buying up everything I can featuring Ciaphas Cain and likely end up voice testing him somewhere because. This fucking disaster of a man.

Ciaphas Cain - The Emperor's Silliest Clown Fighting...

One of the few Emperor's text to speech videos was his

*videos I watched

he has simultaneously the absolute WORST luck of anyone in the galaxy, but also the BEST luck

and will usually see both of those pay off immediately

Heroes of the 41st Millennium - Commissar Ciaphas Ca...

And while I still hate the idea of AI music, listened to this before I saw confirmation from the creator they used AI and I am gonna...tolerate its existence. If only because it is alarmingly accurate to Cain.

This is Not a Plan (Ciaphas Cain) - A Warhammer 40k ...

and he just keeps SOMEHOW SURVIVING, every single time things get worse

dude has engaged at least two Khorne-corrupted space marines in melee combat and he is still alive

he's engaged a hive tyrant in combat and is still alive

HE FACED A LITERAL DEMON PRINCESS FROM SLAANESH AND DEUS EX MACHINA'D A FUCKING AVATAR OF KAINE INTO THE ROOM TO KILL IT

Like it just straight up Kool Aid Man'd its way in and literally stomped the daemon back into nonexistence

(he's also been assumed dead only to show up somehow alive so many times that it's literally canon that the Imperium is to always list him as alive and still in service because they got tired of having to keep filing the damn paperwork)

Platinum : I've seen bits of that one before but yes, also pretty accurate

Though he's also a fun exercise in "how much of this is ACTUALLY accurate" because although the general actions and lines are accurate, Cain also seems to have a near-terminal case of Imposter Syndrome and legitimately does not understand if he didn't have at least some kind of competence or skill he'd have died like a thousand times over

"wait I though we'd be doing worse, why aren't we doing worse?"

idk Cain maybe treating the Guard like actual humans, fixing low morale with actual solutions instead of just shooting people in the head, at least giving the impression you care about their input, and the fact they all idolize you might have something to do with it

all things he genuinely, sincerely does not understand

Space Marines (plural!) have died horribly to things he's made it through, and while he does understand the Imperium is holding him up as a hero so he can't ever tell anyone the truth, he doesn't seem to understand that same hero status can also affect how the people around him behave
