Editing Fulgrim (section)

Like his brother Primarchs, the infant Fulgrim was abducted by the four [[Gods of Chaos]], who weren't really into the whole Primarch thing. Also, like his brother Primarchs, he was eventually thrown onto a planet of his own since the four Gods found out that raising infant Primarchs really wasn't worth the trouble, especially when you can get [[Xenos|some other suckers]] to do it for you.

Fulgrim landed on the planet [[Chemos]], whose people had been dependent on interstellar trade to make everything work. The warpstorms caused by the birth of Slaanesh made such trade impossible, meaning the planet didn't have the resources to sustain a large population. Art, culture, and recreation were sacrificed for the need to survive. By the time baby Fulgrim landed, the planet's resources had been so stretched that any orphan found was normally killed so as not to put further strain on the planets dwindling resources. Indeed, the scouts that found him during a storm debated as to whether or not they should kill the infant. Unfortunately for the scout arguing for the death penalty, the infant Primarch was equipped with a little failsafe called adorable cuteness that made most people want to protect him. Those who found him named the infant Fulgrim in honor of one of the ancient gods of Chemos. He was raised by Tullea and Corrin, the Chemosians who found him, and eventually grew up to completely turn Chemos' fortunes around. Sadly, his foster parents would die young due to the intense labor requirements and poor living conditions of Chemos.

As with all the Primarchs, Fulgrim grew up at an unnatural rate. He started off differently from other Primarchs, as he wasn't a warrior, or a freedom fighter, or an object of worship, but a simple laborer in one of Chemos' many factories. Once working, he immediately showed talent in all things, improving machines to make them more efficient, working hours that would kill a normal human, and re-discovering new technologies that had been lost since the Dark Age of Technology. He improved Chemos' infrastructure so much that people actually began to have time for other things again. Most importantly of all, with Fulgrim came a will and a drive for Chemos' people to rise up above their level of merely existing and become something greater than drab factory workers struggling for survival. Perhaps the people of Chemos would never become great, but now they could reach for the stars once more. In this time, he also engaged in political marriages over the years to unite the factory-cities of Chemos. But though he initially loved some of them, Fulgrim would outlive all of his spouses, and after awhile, he stopped caring about them.

These losses actually give Fulgrim a somewhat different dimension in his family drama compared to his brothers. While not the only Primarch to be raised by familial figures (or at least [[Jaghatai Khan|comrades-in-arms]]), nor lose them, he is thus far the only one confirmed to have been married before. Many of his brothers would certainly become kings and emperors on planetary or even galactic scales, and while their love lives were never detailed, it's certainly possible that he wasn't the only one to secure his dynasty with marriages when he wasn't performing miracles or conquering enemies (and for all we know, some of them might have known how to [[Lukas the Trickster|have a good time with the mortals]] without [[FATAL|breaking them in two]]). However, for those Primarchs with such influences, they were either able to retain their links to humanity with augmetics (for [[Tarasha Euten|good]] or [[Kor Phaeron|ill]]), preserve an [[Sanguinius|all-encompassing]] [[Vulkan|compassion]] for the whole, or otherwise have everything go tits up due to either [[Angron|external factors]] or their own [[Perturabo|petty vindictiveness]].

Fulgrim, however, wasn't able to preserve any of those mortal links, and neither did he have them dramatically torn away from him as a galvanizing moment. They just left his life because they were all too mortal, fragile beings in a flawed environment, and he was something so far beyond that. He cared once, even erecting busts of his parents within his personal chambers, and he still retained a sense of that care for others. But as time went on and the people he loved kept leaving, he grew more distant from common humanity; by the time of the Crusade, he couldn't even tell his parents apart, and his fondness for them was dimmed by pity. And while it may not have been explicitly stated, it likely contributed to Fulgrim's obsession with perfection as something that truly lasts.

It was then that the [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] arrived. As soon as Fulgrim saw the Emperor, he took a knee and swore fealty. <s>What, no jokes about kneeling? This Website has changed</s>. The Emperor then showed Fulgrim his [[First Founding|Legion]], now only 200 strong. It is said that upon seeing his sons displayed before him, entire companies reduced to only one Astartes, yet still proudly bearing their banner, Fulgrim knelt. He then rose and addressed his sons, saying, "You are the Emperor's chosen, his heralds, his warriors, his children, for this is only the beginning." Just as the people of Chemos were born again, so would the Third Legion's Astartes forge themselves into a new future under a new master. Perhaps the one truly perfect, truly eternal being in all the galaxy, who would raise all of humanity to his golden standard.
