As subject says, I need 1 (maybe 2 if it can be justified) paragraph back stories for our player models which will be shown underneath the model in an action shot in a player model selection menu.

To remind people, the 3 selectable player models are:

1) Mr. Fixit
2) IronSnout
3) Ogro

Ideally the story for Ogro should emphasize his "legacy" status - that is, he is not really an official player model, as such, but you can select him.

Have at it. :)

Mr Fixit
_________

Which Orc do you choose when the mission calls for an all-purpose wrecking machine? Who do you call when the odds are stacked against you? Mr Fixit, thats who. Gifted with the ability to perform deconstructive surgery with any weapon, this Orc gets the job done fast and with extreme prejudice.



IronSnoutX10k
__________

IronSnoutX10k is a hybrid model of the Ironsnout series. Bred in the bowels of a top secret underground facility, this walking fragging machine is for one purpose. To annihilate the opposition. Part pig, part machine, IronSnoutX10k knows no fear, and fears no fragger.


Ogro
___________

The Ogro is smaller than a normal ogre, but just as fat and only slightly less stupid. As opposed to common belief, he is not an evil creature, only killing as is absolutely necessary(taken from the ogro text/ creator Magarnigal).

Ogro is considered the grandfather of fragging in the Sauerbraten multiverse.

IronSnoutX10000

You may wonder who, or what holds the controls of this suit; don't waste your time thinking, though! Only the engineer who designed the armor knows. And, anyways, you'd better react fastly to this said-to-be mindless, mad, accurate and strongly enhanced being. Who knows, he might even be digging a grave for your body, if he happens to have free time after his killing spree! Some argue that he whispers to lifeless corpses the infamous sentence:

"You shall be afraid of the respawn timer."

Rejoice, nevertheless: terminating the existence of a single one of these assassins means you have great potential- and now, they'll be tracking you.

The first thing I thought when I´ve read this thread was that, it would be fair that being Geartrooper the creator of IronSnoutX10k and Mr Fixit, he tells us the story behind the characters... and I wasn´t let down ;)

We (me and Blindabuser) think so far that Geartrooper´s stories are the best. Although I am not really fond of the Ogro description, I think is fair to keep the story of the original creator.

And I must congratulate the developers and the community cause we can see that the next release is going to be great. Good job guys!

Ehhhh... here's my go at it.

Mr. Fixit
Whenever the situation calls for some extremely aggressive problem solving tactics, Mr. Fixit should be your orc of choice. Whether you have a dangerous leak, a mole problem, or some mass cleanup that needs to be done, Mr. Fixit will finish the job done fast and surgical.

IronSnoutX10k
From infancy, IronSnoutX10k was born, bred, and trained only to frag. This formidable machine of death and carnage is a major force on any battlefield, and is a sight that inspires fear, cold and icy, into anyone who witnesses his destructive capacity. He is even more fearsome beheld up close; however, this is not advisable and may result in quick termination.

Ogro
I like Geartrooper's description of the ogro better than anything I can come up with.

Observation: If we assume the three models represent classes/species then "Mr. Fixit" is a slightly awkward name as it is so suggestive of an individual - and the above paragraphs tend to read that way too... but since when did gamers care about such details - lol

Mr Fixit is subject to time travel. Over vast reaches of time and space he has chosen different paths which affected and affect his views and teams. It is not uncommon to see Mr Fixit fighting to the death against another dimensional figure.

Ironsnout, on the other hand, is a seamless product of pork and machine. Although subject to the same time/space laws as Mr Fixit, Ironsnout's affiliation is unalterable. If you encounter Ironsnouts on other teams it is because they are of a different tribe.
It is the manufacturer's desire to harness the power of pork. So many tribes of lesser porcine have been gathered and tested to determine who meets the standard of becoming an Ironsnout. After relentless testing the mantle and machinery of Ironsnout is awarded. Just who the manufacturer is remains a mystery...

The backstory of the characters and the plot of the game don't seem that disproportioned, don't they? :)

snoutx10k the genetically modified hybrid of the ironSnout [theme]

4092 space year the war between ironSnout's and the Orgo's broke out. the technologically advanced peace loving ironSnout we barbarically murdered by the ruthless Orgos. As a fading act Dr.snout10k began a top secret experiment by the order of the last remaining general snoutKILL, the expiment come close to a success the orgo attacked the lab as sson as the came to know. As a dying act Dr.snout10k released the unfinished experiment "snoutx10k". As planned he slashed and choped every orgo there to death,But the ability of the snoutx10k to change other snouts was greatly damaged, now the snouts he changed were half good and half evil. but to ensure the snouts survival he went forward and changed which ever snout was left alive........
Now the world was changed for ever and there was a never ending battle going on between the good & evil snoutx10k and the barbaric Orgos........
whatever happens who ever wins death is certain and snoutx10k will survive~~

#20: IronSnoutX 10,000

by SomeGuy on 04/14/2009 23:10

Originally created by Dr.Siar, the IronSnout was a machine/pig hybrid meant to perform tasks no ordinary human can do. Unfortunately, Red Ogroes copied and mass-produced the IronSnouts as war machines, in response, the Blue Ogroes also created copies of the IronSnouts, and soon a massive war broke out. Dr.Siar, wanting to stop what he began, created the IronSnoutX 10,000 to wipe out the original IronSnouts and the Ogroes that created the copies.

That's all i got, also, "Dr.Siar" is of course a tribute to geartrooper (^_^)
