	Don't worry about "the [[fluff]]". The fluff is background material. It exists to provide context for your own story. Worrying about fluff is like worrying about [[Drizzt]] and [[Elminster]] in the [[Forgotten Realms]] - it shouldn't be about them, it should be about your party. The same thing applies to 40k. Become the change you want. [[Just as planned]].		Don't worry about "the [[fluff]]". The fluff is background material. It exists to provide context for your own story.

	[[Erasmus Tycho]] was a [[Blood Angels]] captain in an early after-action report in [[White Dwarf]]. At one point he got KOed by a Weirdboy's psychic blast. This was fluffed as him being severely injured, and that affected his characterization and what would become of him. In-game events were strung together and then logically connected to a potential story - an EMERGENT story based on the guided events of the gameplay.
