the 1 bow 1112 Share Posted December 23, 2017 “May God have mercy on us all, how can these fortresses walk?!” – A Human commander in regards to the Braduk forces during Mokrag’Braduk’s conquest on the Isles of Elysium. Towering, hulking gargantuans – since the days of the famed chieftain himself, the rhino lords of Braduk have dwarfed their fellow Orcs in both size and frame. Cultivated a rightfully fearsome reputation for their giant size Orcs of clan Braduk can be marked by their dense thick frames and their near-Olog vertical scale. Ghazkull 'The Shadow of Death' Braduk, the largest Braduk ever recorded, during the Braduk rebellion against the War Uzg during Anthos. Braduk, who was a bastard grandchild of the Old-father was renown not only for his heroism during the Clash of the Clans conflict, but also for size. The Orc stood head and shoulders above his peers in more ways than one. Whilst this would be sufficient in explaining the origins of Braduk-giagantism, some elders murmur that many generations ago Olog blood was mixed with the First Rhino’s line – much like most poorly recorded historical events, these claims should be taken with a grain of salt. All Orcs of the Braduk clan typically share a common trait; their size. Whether it be a matter of big Orcs attracting big Orcs, or the old Orcish theory that their size is dictated by their status – one cant know for certain. In any case, all Braduks, be they bloodline or no, dwarf the rest of their kin. Most grunts of the clan will reach a height of at least 8ft tall,, with an average dialing in at roughly 8.5ft. Orcs of this magnitude will begin to produce a hunch – a result of their massive frame. At this level however, the hunch is minor and will only effect the back and shoulder area. An Orc of the Warnation (left) and an Orc of the Braduk clan (right). Like the generic Braduk towers above Orcs of the Uzg, a bloodline Braduk towers over the generic Braduk and Orc of the Uzg alike. Standing typically at atleast 9ft, a bloodline Braduk can grow as high as an Olog, their current Wargoth Gilgamesh standing at 10ft tall. However, bloodline Braduks can be singled out clearly amongst their brothers by their significant hunch and altered body shape as a consequence of this hulking size. Not only do their back, shoulders and neck hunch to help sustain their frames, their knees and lower body structure have over the years evolved to help hold their heavy weight. If a bloodline Braduk were to stand at their full height, it would begin to reach the point of ridiculousness, The altered physique of a large bloodline Braduk. It should be noted that Braduks who possess this frame comparatively have significantly larger heads, arms etc. than their standard Uruk counterparts. Luckily for their foes, they cannot, as it would be debilitating for them. These bloodline Braduks have larger heads and overall bone structures than regular Orcs. Most will find that Braduks favour a minimal amount of clothing – this is for a dual purpose. The first is to showcase their impressive physiques, but the second is that it is very often simply too difficult to find adequate apparel that will fit them. As such, the day-to-day outfit of a Braduk normally consists of merely a loincloth, and perhaps jewellery should they possess wealth. In combat however, pioneered by the famous chieftain Mokrag, Braduks have taken to their own style of armour which has become known colloquially as “Da Walkin’ Fortresses”. Da Walkin’ Fortresses are a style of armour unique to the Braduk clan – they can be marked by their blocky and thick plated nature and are aptly named due to the fact that the wearer is literally ensconced in the equivalent of a small room of metal. It takes an Orc of tremendous strength and durability to be able to move within these tank-like suits, which is why they are specific to clan Braduk. Mokrag 'The Blood Talon' Braduk, adorned in the original Walkin' Fortress armour set, following his sacking of the city of Telarith on Elysium. While wearing a Walkin’ Fortress, the Braduk is incredibly slow but nigh impenetrable. Very often a Braduk will forgo weaponry whilst in the suit as it is too difficult to wield, but they will typically have claws or other sharp or perhaps blunt appendages attached at the arm plates. In war, a Braduk in a Walkin’ Fortress will heavily armour their rhino so that the two in tandem quite literally become a tank. This can only be done effectively by those of the Braduk physiology.

Travista 1361 Share Posted December 23, 2017 This just seems to be lore for ologs without their drawbacks. Whats next? Blue orks? Horns?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSCP173 52 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Sounds the same to me, Travista, though to less of a degree of blue orcs and horns which hold reasoning and logic haha. I must admit though, y'all should definitely partner up with us, who else would build your suits besides the greatest creators in all of the war nation besides the legendary RAGUKS?

Dromui 755 Share Posted December 23, 2017 If being an Orc was more fun than being an Honorary Orc, I totally would be. But considering all the cool stuff Azel did as an honorary, I wouldn't give that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
