Choosing/Creating an Order?

I'm about as new as can be to Warhammer and all of its lore, but i quickly grew fond of Nuns with Guns, aka Sisters of Battle. From what I've gathered there are 6 core Orders as well as several minor Orders, and players can homebrew their own.

I dont quite know all of the Adeptus Sororitas(I think that's what they're called, and how its spelled), so i figured what better a way to figure out my order then asking.

Since im still in my learning stages I figured i could just make my own to make the process easier and guve me a drive to learn and take bits from different orders and make it into my own.

im a rather large Purple, Black, and Silver heavy guy, red too i guess. My original idea was to take an Order that used Blue and White and have their arms become stained with so much dirt and Red that their armor changed to black (leaving gaps of Silver shining through, plus their hair being white), and their blue turning purple (possibly also red) from so much blood.

How it mixed into purple? Their spiritual blue (faith) and physical red (blood) mixed and their powers of faith congregate into a purple. If the lore works then maybe that's how people go up in showing their devotion, the better faith the more pure their purple gets.

Don't know if this is possible, but i took the idea from a character of mine (im a writer) and slapped it on to make the mental transition easier.

My general likes, or things I want from an order, are a more Silent Conquerers mixed in with some of those who sing prayers to their fallen to let their souls pass on easier. Using songs as a way to cope with their slowly dwindling minds being left on a planet where it seems no one beside their Emperor is going to save them. Each day is to be their last if not for their guerrilla style warfare. Slowly dominating a battlefield without you knowing.

This entire order is honestly based on one of my OCs I max turned into a faction, so -_-.

Anyway.

Any help is appreciated. beyond what i listed, im a big fan of stuff like librarians/historians, intelligent playstyles, and either Blitz or Stealth based stuff. Devote Paladins are also a favorite. Honestly I really only dislike barbaric styles, but i still have a soft spot for them.

Researching and Developing World Building

While looking around fanfics and discussions (mainly character boards/OC ideas for fandoms) i noticed a lot of people expanding upon lore, developing original lore, creating abilities based around things like the biological components of the body, and other things of the given topic.

While I understand the core components of "how", I was curious on if anyone had tips on ways to go about this.

Despite my username, im not very well read and have been struggling with getting into reading (as it was a punishment growing up, being forced to read) and despite my rampant ADHD I dont really do "large delves" into topics im obsessed about (which sounds oxymoronic but it isn't... to me at least).

I'm currently trying to develop a fanfic set in an Absolute (look up Absolute DC, kind of like that) version of Solo Leveling, My Hero Academia, and Jujutsu Kaisen. I have a background for "how" this all came to be, as well as bits and pieces of lore. I plan on creating 3 docs for each individuals world and their original background, plus a third for the core world itself.

It's a world taking core aspects of each world, such as SL's Monarchs + dungeons, MHA's society, and JJK's older styled society, and mixing them together to create a possibly cohesive world with my MC in it. (Who even has ties to the ideology of "strength" with all 3 stories take after).

Im pretty good at expanding powers and creative usage of powers, but all the "x part of the body creating X function" or "x mythology and time period having x thing or beliefs" kind of fly over my head a little. I guess my main problem is where to start? I could probably figure it out, with a little bit of time, but im trying to use what time I have recently to get back into bettering my writing skills as I have a lacking dialect.

Any help is appreciated, I'll try and respond or expand upon my question here if needed when I have time and if asked.

Small Note/Expanded Upon Thought as i didn't know where to throw this: I was thinking one way that might help is character sheets? Like [Clan - Gojo | Individual - John Kaisen] and using that as a base when expanding upon stuff. But it doesnt help my rather lacking repertoire of knowledge.
