The Vorta
28th of September
"Death knows no honor"
Distinct armor covering the torso and arms, The Vorta wear a stainless steel chainmail like coating that's slim and stubbornly tough against the gunfire of the opposition. Throughout their history, reports have been made stating human weaponry has never been capable of piercing the native material worn by the so called “demolition demons”. The Vorta are the original colonizers of the rather discrete Lajoon planet, little is known prior to their arrival, a burning pod containing three hundred of the species descended down onto the red perilous clay of Lajoon generations ago. The population has grown into the thousands.
Violence and deceit are valuable traits for The Vorta, numerous coups and assassinations have cut short the reign of many verde’s. The Verde position itself is obtained by vote through an elders council every generation (hundred and fifty human years), should the Verde live that long they relinquish the title and become the next elder to sit among their peers and cast a vote for the next generation's Verde. Candidates are often members of the species who have brought value to Lajoon via trade agreements, technological advancements or galactic warfare.
Standing at an estimated two meters, the purple skin tone glows in contrast to the black hollow abyss of the eyes swallowing up onlookers attention as one could gaze for hours only to find nothing but a long history of brutality and war. Long fangs hang over the sides of the mouth much like that of the long extinct saber tooth, sharp and extremely rigid with incredible strength needed to break in the midst of battle. Fangs appear to be the only reliable indicator of age, fangs grow longer relative to time.
Vorta who dare kill another will often attempt to cut off a fang and wear it as part of their attire with the intention to intimidate and display their physical strength. Vorta who kill their own kind are forced to flee Lajoon as the Verde will intend to hunt and execute those who murder blood of its own kind.
The Vorta take great pride in physical combat, using swords and shields fit to their height and stature to slay foes, training to defeat all types of enemies from the moment they can walk with the use of their own bodies or what lays in the palms of their hands. The immense strength and muscle means close combat is of great advantage with such explosive power, weakness lies solely in the speed and distance they can cover on the battle ground. With a lust for battle and physical domination is the way of The Vorta, those who prove that are commemorated in the naming of powerful Vorta weaponry, examples of this are “the Ortim shield”, “Gaxu’s axe” and “the sword of Kalou”.
