The stereotype that the only things Orks do is fight is a bit undo. While they were created to fight, and have an ingrained desire to fight, there are relatively peaceful patches in one place or another in the galaxy. The Orks take slaves and captives, they seize cities, build things, plan, and even politic - even if on a much more base scale. What's an assassin than a brutal way of winning in politics or eliminating a rival. I think that some of the best Ork fiction I've seen has highlighted Ork society, both in relative peace and war, and all of its aspects.
Moreover, though, it seems like there wouldn't be too much wrong with a primarily action-based RP. I mean, what is The Invasion if not - in effect - a war between the Imperial forces on a planet and Tyranids? Sure, there's room for politicing, character development, and character interaction, but the basic premise is basically combat.
If you were going to do an Ork RP, it would basically be either all Orks, prolly with two vying factions/Warbosses or otherwise important, or Orks vs someone, likely Tau, Imperial, or Eldar. Also keep in mind that Orks are liable to ally in some sort with the forces of Chaos.

Ok I need some help. From what I'm understanding we're starting and RP that involves the Imperium and the Tyranids, and another Rp in an Underhive Am I correct? If that is right then what sort of character could I play. I'm not sure how much a single assassin could help against a Nid invasion force. Perhaps I should play a Terminator or a Dreadnaught? Or maybe an Eldar character who is sent because the Eldar don't wish to see another planet fall to Nid control? By the way...what's going on in the Underhive RP? What's the storyline?
As far as the ork Rp goes...I could play my Chaos Terminator and give him a squad or small force as an ally to the Orks.

W stopped the tyranid rp due to certain errors and inconsitenccies. Plus it was ending up to be a hack and slash.
atm there are ideas for an inquisitor style rp. I had an idea that there could be planet that had discovered a set of ruins pre dating imperium presence in the system. Also the planet governor has recently executed rebels/traitors he deiscovered, some of them occupying high ranks in the govorning structure. does this mean there is a bigger corruption at large or merely a small group (reason for investigation) also the ruins could ahve something interesting about them.
an inquisitor style rp would allow lots of different chars and some character progression.

That sounds interesting. It would give me reason to play my assassin (after re-working her) or possibly and outsider like a lone Eldar or even a small elite group of them or possibly my Chaos Terminator. What do you think?

Maybe. No terminators though. even in the inquisitor game you dont find that being used as anyone in terminator armour is probably a shock troop and not used for cloak and dagger stuff.
A lone eldar ranger (or two depending on balance) would be fine, perhaps with an interest in the ruins etc. I may throw a more dietailed idea together and present it to you lot for an rp. so watch this space as thay say.

OK so I'll keep in mind my assassin and possibly and Eldar then. What about a Warlock or some kind of elite warrior?
