Wrath & Glory: Hrud (Ratgirl Edition)
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2023 10:28 pm
From pure laziness, it'll be pretty ripped from Skaven tier wise.
The Hrud are a rat-based xenos who prefer to live underground, homeworld being Skavenblight, but they have spread across the other planets in their sector. While they utilize a "strong rules all" mindset, they do not mean in terms of physical prowess like that of the Orks. The "strong" may be anyone in their field, be it a soldier, scientist, or bureaucrat. After all, if you have managed to raise above the others in your respective field, does that not mean that you are the strongest? Following that, the idea of safety is lost on them. To become the strongest, one must be constantly pushing the limits of everything-- be it from training to experimenting! A few weaklings die, so that the strong may prosper even further.
Hruds live in either Nests or Warrens. These can be seen as a town (nest) or city (warren). A multitude of nests are scattered in the underground (and rarely the surface), each ruled by a clan. Warrens may also be ruled by a singular clans, but some have multiple clans that either coexist peacefully (heh) with one another or going through many, many civil wars where victories are measured not by portions of the town, but blocks or even houses taken.

d6 | Hrud Backgrounds | Gain +1
1 | Brown Fur: You have one of the more common colors of your race, only fit for slave duty and being a warrior unless you manage to impress a higher-up or kill them. You can only hope nothing too bad happens to you.| Max Shock
2 | Black Fur: In many clans, those with black fur are believed to be marked for greatness in battle. Being raised in this matter has led you to believe such! | Determination
3 | White Fur: Those with a fur color of white are seen as special, blessed by the Horned Rat himself! Yes, you will show everyone that you ARE the best. | Influence
4 | Albino: Like the white furs, albinos are believed to be unique in the Hrud religion. Typically, they become Grey Seers or are chosen to be the fearless bodyguards of the Council of 13. | Resolve
5 | Slave: Regardless of your fur, you have been taken as a slave by another clan and forced to work in terrible conditions where death could come for you at a moment's notice. Yet, you survived. | Max Shock
6 | Outcast: For some reason, some how, you managed to escape your Warren or Clan, deciding to live on the fringe of your planet or even outside of it. You are going to live your life the way you want instead of being dominated by the social pressures of Hrud society! | Resolve
d6 | Accomplishment | Gain +1
1 | Usurper: You hatched a devious plan to take your superior's position-- the crazy thing is that it worked! | Influence
2 | Stolen Wares: Nothing can't be stolen, especially around the Hrud. You managed to steal something that was pretty valuable. | Wealth
3 | Battle-Scarred: You have survived a tough battle against a foe, be it through superior skill or just keeping your head down. | Max Shock
4 | Brutal Training: A chieftain had the bright idea of throwing you, and others, through a new training regime. It was long, brutal, and only saw a handful of survivors to include you. | Determination
5 | Moulder Experiment: You "volunteered" to be the victim of a Moulder experiment. You managed to survive and the surgical procedure even seemed to be a success! | Max Wounds
6 | Visions: You swear the Horned Rat speaks to you at night, through your dreams. Some call you mad, but there were that hailed you as a prohpet for the Horned Rat to boost your ego. | Resolve
d6 | Goal | Gain +1
1 | Master of Craft: You will not rest until you are the next legend of Hrud! The next Ikit Claw, Thrott, or Queek...! | Influence
