The Orges
The Orges can easily described in two words, primitive due to their lack of intelligence, tactical thinking and overall advancement, and Savage due to their violent, war loving culture and their incredible love for all types of weapons.
Information:
Orges first entered the galactic scene during The Wars of Magic and Science as the first age races couldn’t compete with the second age race’s brutal war tactics from The Ta-Og, even with The Rogtons combat superiority. After discovering The Orges on their primitive homeworld of “Mellakrag” and witnessing their brutal war nature, The Tree Folk began grooming The Orges to their side with the promises of endless war and showed them footage of Ta-Og warriors which greatly impressed them. Despite the hope The Orges brought to the first age races as a weapon, both The Kabane and The Denvorians were notably against the idea, but The Denvorians were more vocal about their disapproval of the use of Orges claiming; “Beware that during the process of fighting evil, you do not become the evil you detest”. So infused with magical artifacts, spells, blessings and all the weapons they could carry, The Orges began pushing the second age forces back with their sheer destructive might. Additionally many of Manish Brotok’s most respected warriors were simply unable to handle The Orges destructive capabilities even with their legendary combat skills.
In terms of appearance, Orges are green skinned creatures that reach around 6ft in height. They have hunched backs, large sharpened and dagger-like nails, and very noticeable “bloated bellies”. Interestingly Orges have a very similar skin to that of of “The Korcks” as their skin is tough, heals quickly and is immune to being cut by regular bladed weaponary, this means more advanced weapons like laser melee weapons, chain blades and magically blessed melee weapons are used in order to penetrate their skin. This similarity may suggest possible relation between The Korcks and The Orges, another possess piece of evidence for this would be the large extended teeth present within the lower jaw of both races most commonly referred to as “Teef Tusks”. Additionally it is worth mention that Orges typically possess large amounts of testosterone and appear exclusively as male, however their race is asexual and they reproduce upon their death, or simply when they “feel like it”. The first way an Orges can reproduce is by vomiting a large amount of thick acidic fluid that 5-10 baby Orges will spawn and grow from, and the second is upon their death when 2 fully grown Orges will emerge from either side of the dead Orge.
Finally despite The Orges strange, impossible but highly effective methods of repopulating their race, it isn’t the strangest thing they have to offer, instead that honour goes to their Bodily, Adaptability, For Battle or B.A.B. In short, B.A.B allows an Orge’s body to undergo dramatically bodily transformation in order to adapt to combat situations, this can include becoming faster, stronger and utilising skills they have never used before, or it can also mean growing larger and developing new unexplainable abilities. This was first noticed when a lone Orge picked up an Octush laser cannon and, despite the weapon being biologically locked, began to fire at every enemy in its path and in the process destroying a valued second age research facility.
Different Types of Orges:
1. Goblins- are small and highly mischievous Orges that usually act as cannon fodder or deployed to sabotage enemy bases and weapons. In terms of appearance, Goblins are around 3ft tall with pale green skin and a skinny bodily frame, however despite their body size Goblins have a great amount of strength. Interestingly Goblins seem to be use as a source of food by other Orges, this was first documented when a Orge “Guv’nor” bit off and swallowed the head of a goblin before a battle.
2. Cyclones- are skyscraper sized Orges that possess one massive eye that is capable of unleashing an extremely destructive energy beam. It is widely believed that Cyclones merged to fight against The Shen’s “Death moon” orbital attack ships, this is because both are known for their massive size and also for both possessing a massive destructive energy beam. In terms of appearance, Cyclones stand at around 2,000 ft tall with numerous bone like appendages protruding from their elbows, knees, knuckles and heels, in addition they also possess a large slender tail that can be used in a destructive manner.
3. Fomorians- are hulking Orges that have an extremely high amount of muscles mass and are completely brain dead. It is believed that Fomorians emerged to take on massive enemies like Trolls, Therianthropes and possibly even Dragons, this is due in part to their size, strength and endurance, but also due to their beast like appearance. Interestingly the amount of muscle mass that a Fomorian possesses has seemingly caused extensive brain damage, as a result an average Fomorian as the intelligence of an average toddler.
4. Babbies- are young Orges that are spawned when an Orge “throws up”. In terms of appearance, Babbies are vomited up in a vaguely fungal like appearance, and eventually over a period of times bones will crack, features will form and the babby will fully mature into an adult within just a few hours. Additionally sometimes if an Orge is starving, struggling for food or simply hungry, they will vomit up Babbies and will eat them like snacks.
