History Characters / Warhammer40000Darktide

* MerchantPrince: Being a Rogue Trader means Brahms is essentially royalty who commands a vast dynasty of untold wealth, and typically possess enough autonomy to operate independently of the Imperium or its subsidiaries like the Inquisition. Such high esteem is one of several reasons why Sire Melk is so desperate to curry favors with her.

A former Rogue Trader that commands the Mourningstar, which is currently in service of the Inquisition and is likely one of Inquisitor Grendyl's closest and most trusted allies as a result. Little else is known about her, for now. Narrator of the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Z53bk4lvc World Intro]]'' trailer.

* SourSupporter: Is very vocally ''not'' a fan of how Grendyl and his warband operates, considering them inefficient, violent brutes at best, not to mention dragging her ship and her crew into the uprising in the first place. Unfortunately for her, you don't really say ''no'' to an Inquisitor.

* SupportPartyMember: Averted. The Ogryn is the ''only'' class of the Rejects to lack a true "supportive" focus in his skill tree.

* SkillGateCharacter: A combination of an extremely lenient Perils mechanic, practically impossible to mess up Toughness generation skills, ranged weapons and blitzes that require no ammo and very little aim make the Psyker extremely easy to play as either a horde clearer, special killer, or even both, especially on lower difficulties. However, those same abilities ([[GameBreaker For the most part.]]) tend to pale in comparison to the damage output the other classes can reach with dedicated builds and gear, and have little to no way to be played better beyond basic positioning and game sense.

* LovedByAll: All class personalities love Ogryns, regardless of their own demeanor and attitude towards each other or their own peers. Nobody has anything particularly mean or harsh to say to any of the Ogryns in group banter or when they get wasteful with supplies, with the worst of complaints being in line with parents gently scolding their children instead.

* * ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Crossing over into SurprisinglyEliteCannonFodder, the Rejects might be {{Boxed Crook}}s but being a part of an Inquisitor's warband pretty much puts them a few levels above most Penal Legionnaires, conscripts, and even most Imperial Guardsmen. The available arsenal refllects this, such as lasguns and autoguns originating from many different forgeworlds to weapons reserved for seniors or high-ranking soldiers like power swords, thunder hammers, plasma guns and much more.

* * ElitesAreMoreGlamorous: Crossing over into SurprisinglyEliteCannonFodder, the Rejects might be {{Boxed Crook}}s but being a part of an Inquisitor's warband pretty much puts them a few levels above most penal legion soldier or Imperial Guardsman/Conscript. The gameplay and available arsenal reflects this as they have access to a large variety of weapons from lasguns and autoguns from many different forgeworlds to weapons like power swords, thunder hammers, plasma guns and much more.

** As is expected of warriors from the Imperium, they can arm themselves with chainswords for for close quarters combat. All three also share access to the Catachan "Devil's Claw" swords, for the natives of Catachan these are the biggest knives you can earn, for regular soldiers however it's a fraggin' sword.

** Psykers can use either fancy Duelling Swords or use their psyker powers in melee combat with Force Swords.

-->''"Might I petition for some ammunition, that is if you have anything to spare?"''

* DamageOverTime: The Skullbreaker tree contains several passives that cause enemies near the Ogryn to bleed, which can stack for more damage over time.

* KillItWithFire: With the Point-Blank Barrage ability unlocked and the Light 'em Up talent chosen, the Ogryn's shots fired during its duration will ignite enemies hit.

* TeamKiller: Their explosions will damage both ally and enemy alike. Notable, mission modifiers that spawn a huge group of Poxbursters can actually make them ''less'' effective than usual, as they tend to be packed up closely enough where killing a single one can trigger a domino effect that destroys the rest of them.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Respawned Judges waiting to be rescued may occasionally plead with their nearby compatriots to save them, albeit begrudgingly so, as they admit it's a great shame to be rendered so helpless.

The traitorous captain of the Moebian Sixth Regiment and so far the game's BigBad. Their first encounter with the player character is in the game's prologue, where the both of them are being held in a prison ship under inquisitorial control[[note]]His capture possibly being shown in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JUsHpTWVa0 Rejects Will Rise]] Trailer[[/note]], when his fellow Moebian Sixth traitor guardsmen come to his rescue, which also ends up accidentally freeing the player character as well when asked about what will they do to the reject, [[NotWorthKilling the Captain chooses to leave them be as Poxwalker chow]]. Unfortunately for him, [[FromNobodyToNightmare it bites him in the ass]].

* AttackPatternAlpha: With the exception of Voice of Command, which just has the Veteran bellowing out morale boosts, their other abilities are regarded as specific military maneuvers with their own codenames. Volley Fire[=/=]Executioner Stance is often called out as "Bastion 2-20", and Infiltrate is referred to as "Creeper 3-12".

* HeroesPreferDogs: The Bodyguard may occasionally bring up the topic of requesting Morrow for a pet dog. The other Rejects either respond with skepticism or downplayed agreement.

* HeroesPreferSwords: [[AntiHero For a vague definition of hero anyway]], the human rejects have access to various blades with some being shared between all 3 (or at least 2 of them) while others are exclusive to only one of them[[note]]And if you wanna get technical [[GiantsKnifeHumansGreatsword the Ogryn cleavers can be classified as swords]] due to their size[[/note]].
** As is expected of warriors from the Imperium, they have access to chainswords for melee weapons. All three also share access to the Catachan "Devil's Claw" swords, for the natives of Catachan these are the biggest knives you can earn, for regular soldiers however it's a fraggin' sword.
** Befitting their experience as soldiers of the Astra Militarum, the Veterans are given mighty Power Swords to cleave through their enemies like hot buttter.
** Zealots have access two {{BFS}} from the Eviscerator-class Heavy Chainswords to the regular flavor of falchion-like Heavy Swords.

Though their massive fingers lack the precision and dexterity needed to arm man-sized grenades, the Ogryn is surprisingly inventive, and can compromise with the ''Big Box of Hurt''; why settle for just one grenade when you can throw ''the whole box''? Augmenting this with ''Bombs Away'' causes the box of grenades to open and detonate upon striking armored foes. The Ogryn may also choose to turn their strength and size into another advantage by simply throwing a ''Big Friendly Rock'' at the enemy; Heretic or not, a fifty-pound slab of Plastcrete is bad for anyone's health. Last but not least, the ''Frag Bomb'' is what you get when you take the Veteran's Krak Grenade and scale it up to Ogryn size. Anything unfortunate enough to be near this thing when it goes off is going to wish it was never born.

* BoulderBludgeon: Patch 13 enabled the Ogryn to just pick up chunks of rock or debris to use as makeshift throwing weapons via the Big Friendly Rock talent, similar to how they used to use the unmodified Big Box of Hurt. Thrown rocks are not retrievable, but will automatically regenerate after a solid minute, with the flavor text handwaving it away as the Ogryn picking up new ones as he goes along. Unlike the Big Box, which does extra damage against armored targets, the Big Friendly Rock does more damage versus unprotected enemies, and struggles against Carapace in particular.

* CloseRangeCombatant: By technicality, since most of his guns are pretty much only good at point-blank range, and the class' feats are largely focused on maintaining pressure on the frontline instead of hanging back and doing damage. The only truly "long"-ranged attacks available to the Ogryn are the Rumbler grenade launcher, the Blastoom Grenadier Gauntlets, and his Big Box of Hurt, all three of which are not hitscan and projectile travel time has to be accounted for, have low zoom and require careful trajectory calculation, and thus are clunky to use against distant targets, additionally made worse by their generally small "ammo" pool.

* LethalJokeWeapon: His Big Box of Hurt might seem silly at first blush, being merely a metal box that is hurled at enemies like a baseball to bean them in the face with. However, the thing is deceptively strong when thrown at enemy weakpoints, and does additional damage if said enemy is armored, which basically encompasses most of the Elites and Specials and a few bosses, whereupon a solid impact will shear off a significant chunk of their HP meter, if not outright killing the more common types in one hit. Not to mention that it has the ability to release all of it's explosive payload and cause ''even more'' damage to the enemy if they somehow survived getting hit by a large metal box thrown by an ogryn[[labelnote:Originally]]The Level 10 Skullbreaker feat "Bomb's Away" makes them even more deadly if thrown at anything armored (including bosses) which will cause the many grenades in the box to actually explode, chunking huge amounts of health off of Plague Ogryns and Beasts of Nurgle[[/labelnote]].

* RockBeatsLaser: Snipers of a hardened traitor guard unit, bombers armed with incendiary grenades or gunners using actually using [[BeamSpam fully-automatic laser guns]] - they can all be ended in a moment by an oversized humanoid hurling a piece of a street at them.

* {{Expy}}: Seems to be one of [[Characters/TheFifthElement Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg]] of all people. Just look at that hair!

* ShovelStrike: Every class starts off with a shovel as their default melee weapon in the Tutorial level after dropping into the sewage system of the ship. The Ogryn stands out by not only carrying a giant shovel but it turns out to be a ''latrine'' shovel at that. Beyond this point, shovels are exclusive to the Veteran and Ogryn, while the other two no longer have access to them.

* TelephonePolearm: Their weapon of choice is an improvised hammer consisting of a piece of rebar or pipe as a handle that seems to have been freshly-ripped out of a structure, judging by the huge chunk of concrete that serves as the "hammer head".

* OneHandedShotgunPump: Played with, since the Ogryn doesn't actually have a pump-action shotgun, in the case of the Blastoom Grenadier Gauntlet due to its wrist-mounted design necessitating this type of animation to chamber a new shot.

** The Heavy Stubber gives the Ogryn substantially MoreDakka and actually can hit enemies far back from the horde, but its Brace aiming mode basically renders it unable to fire with any modicum of accuracy beyond spitting distance.

* ShortRangeShotgun: Their Kickbacks are immensely-powerful buckshot throwers that can instantly vaporize small mobs of enemies in a single click of the trigger. Whereas the typical damage per shot of high-level weapons tend to fall within the 300-500 range, Kickbacks can hit well above the thousand mark. However, their destructive power is offset by their pathetically short range, whereupon the pellets will do negligible damage if not none at all just a fair bit past point-blank range.
