Madboy
Madboyz are a type of crazed Feral Ork.[1]
Contents
Overview
Most Feral Orks have little to no concept of technology and sometimes their introduction to even the simplest mechanical devices will be too much for their puny brains to handle. When this happens, an Ork can become psychotic and lose what little rational thought processes he had in the first place. These Orks are known as Madboyz or Nuttaz and are put in separate squads known as Madboyz Squads. Due to their insanity they can be either a deadly weapon or a clumsy hindrance.[1]
Due to their madness, other Orks keep their distance from Madboyz. In battle if Madboyz fail to keep the tiny bit of sanity they have, they can start fighting amongst themselves, arguing over whether a cloud looks like Gork or Mork, fall in to gibbering panic or decide to show the other Orks the true meaning of "Orkyness."[1]
Varieties
- Fratniks - Subject to uncontrolled excitment and easily set off into a hysterical frenzy.[5]
- Paranoids - Subject to feelings that someone or something is constant out to get them. Exhibit extreme animosity to others and especially non-Ork races.[5]
- Phobiaks - Exhibit irrational terror of things that are often harmless. Common fears include Squigs, Weirdboyz, insects, and small mammals. If they exhibit these objects of fear, they often are thrown into panic and confusion.[5]
- Maniks - Suffer from irrational obsessions that consume most of their time. These can vary anywhere from reacting violently to a certain color to a fascination with a kind of Squig. They often can change obsessions suddenly and without warning.[5]
- Skitzos - Can not differ between reality and hallucinations. Consequently, they live in their own delusional world and are often the subject of extreme mood swings. Sone Skitzos will think they are Snotlings or a Squig.[5]
- Moroniks - Seem to be in a permanent state of bewilderment and are unable to obey simple instructions.[5]
- Melankoliks - Display deep depression and nostalgia for battles of the past.[5]
- Deliriaks - Suffer from constant happiness, laughing and wisecracking endlessly. Nothing can wipe their smile off their faces.[5]
- Savantz - Introverted, twitchy, and erratic Madboyz who are prodigious in certain fields particularly regarding memory and calculation. Their apparently nonsensical babbling can usually only be understood by Mekboyz who use them in their own field. Will wander off if left unattended[5]
