An Imperial Governor!
Now that would be luxury!
Living high up on the highest spires in my magnificent imperial capital, in my own cloud-garden with six vast swimming pools, a whole sport arena, a small army of sexy house maids, access to the best medical care, and a lovely view down, on which I can rest in my sofa all day long and just enjoy my life!
Oh, and I'll have a whole world to do whatever I wish with as long as I say 'Hail the Emperor' three times a day!
Yes, I want to be a governor! xD

And NO, my avatar is the coat of arms from the Teutonic Knightly Order because they're awesome.
And then you'd pay tithes and constantly have to worry about the other peeps that want your job, equip your imperial guard, be versed in imperial politics, be held accountable to the imperium, have the threat of being executed/censured at any moment and time, deal with xenos,etc. Also you wouldnt be able to hire out "maids" or live in too much luxury without someone saying you're a slannesh worshiper. After all imperial governors are suppose to be austere....surely a governor who loves too much luxury is a heathen slannesh worshiper and must be purged
I wouldnt want to be a governor.......unless it was a garden/agri-world.......no way I'd want to govern a hive/civilized/industrial center.
And if anything went wrong they blame you (Governors are no less expendable than anyone else in the Imperium).

I would be dead, for sure.
there is actually a piece of text related to the death of a governor:

The PDF sold their lives dearly to stop the greenskin advance upon our primary Hive, but on the horde came. There would be no escape but for the Planetary Governor, whose escape shuttle was prepped to leave before the attack began.
As our leader left us to die we prayed to the Emperor for deliverance while we sold our lives to protect his works. Glory be to his swift answer.
A yellow Thunderhawk, identified as Necrogoth :wub:, descended like a falling star, the much larger transport vehicle crushing the smaller one as it landed on the same pad, and through the fire and smoke the mighty figure of a Space Marine strode forth. I will never forget the seething expression on his face as he looked upon us, upon the Hive, upon the xenos.
The Marine did not pause, he drew his chainsword and charged down the stairs with a battlecry upon his lips, screaming "FAAAAAAAAH-" or something of the sort, a cry with no end. Even as he disappeared into the Hive we heard him clearly, even as we saw the small yellow figure leap from the Hive into the throng of green below we heard him. Drop pods followed as more Marines smashed into the horde, more yellow armored Marines echoing the endless cry.
The xenos were crushed utterly, and still screaming in rage the Space Marines ran up the Hive once more, to where the Governor still stood staring at the crushed wreckage of his escape shuttle. The Marines poured into their Thunderhawk, but the Marine from before ran right up to the cowardly official, and ended his warcry at last, his finger pressing painfully against the man's forehead.
"-UUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOU!"
Rather unceremoniously, the Governor was then pitched off the top of the Hive, with his underwear pulled up over his head.

be a scribe on terra or be a techpriest
well that too.....if you're born in the right caste, hopefully the earth/water caste
Looks at sig - preferably a Celestian or Seraphim Sister Superior
or an Arbitor Senioris (Arbites General) - 'I am the law!'
or an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor - Hunting heretics and traitors while wearing a dress and making everyone their collective pants when you show up because each thinks you are there because of their personal little secret? Yes please!

I know it isn't the usual habit around here to actually stay on topic but as I often come to late for the few posts on the first page that actually do, I am sometimes forced to write posts that may seem a little out of place (not implying of course that I have never striven off topic in a thread ^.^)
