Taken Ogre

You are an Ogre. Born of pain and suffering. Devoured by anger and vexation. You are tasked as a mobile siege engine of the mighty Hive broods.

You have been taken.

Rest, now. Feel the pleasure of release, of true freedom. Sniff, smell the sweet air. Taste, the fresh water upon your scarred snout.

What goad drives you? What lash forces you on?

Your makers are what force you on. The Wizards of the Hive. Selected from one of many Thrall, grown into a massive weapon of utter destruction, to visit fear and terror upon your enemy. That is your design, what you were shaped by.

Why not be your own master?

There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [I will lead].

Take up the knife. Lead the charge. Take your new shape.

+===Taken Ogre===
+''You are an Ogre. Born of pain and suffering. Devoured by anger and vexation. You are tasked as a mobile siege engine of the mighty Hive broods.''
+''You have been taken.''
+''Rest, now. Feel the pleasure of release, of true freedom. Sniff, smell the sweet air. Taste, the fresh water upon your scarred snout.''
+''What goad drives you? What lash forces you on?''
+''Your makers are what force you on. The Wizards of the Hive. Selected from one of many Thrall, grown into a massive weapon of utter destruction, to visit fear and terror upon your enemy. That is your design, what you were shaped by.''
+''Why not be your own master?''
+''There is a knife for you. It is shaped like'' [I will lead].
+''Take up the knife. Lead the charge. Take your new shape.''
+{{Scrollbox|
+====Aarta====
+''You are Aarta. Knight of the Hive. Defender of the Dreadnaught. Worshiper of the High War.''
+''Why do you cry out? Isn't this what you have wanted? To be so subsumed entirely as to become your master's tool directly? You are foolish. To prove to us that you are worthy of your former status, and to be able to tithe tribute independently, you will serve directly.''
+''Henceforth, Steward of the Dreadnaught, we name you thus.''
+====Dakkadi====
+''You are Dakkadi. Knight of the Hive. Defender of the Dreadnaught. Worshiper of the High War.''
+''Attend. You are among seven elite Hive warriors to personally defend the Dreadnaught. Beneath your command are thousands of the Taken servants your master Oryx has consumed. Behold — fell enemies, worshipers of war and destruction in the name of a false king, have invaded. They are alone, isolated, their fleet destroyed. Their ship remains. Press on the attack and force them back.''
+''Henceforth, Steward of the Dreadnaught, we name you thus.''
+====Gornith====
+''You are Gornith. Knight of the Hive. Defender of the Dreadnaught. Worshiper of the High War.''
+''Attend. Where your sister has failed to accomplish you will succeed. Push back the warbeasts into their vessel of steel and titanium. Challenge their champion and aid the Hive's own.''
+''Henceforth, Steward of the Dreadnaught, we name you thus.''
+====Gurroth====
+''You are Gurroth. Knight of the Hive. Defender of the Dreadnaught. Worshiper of the High War.''
+''Attend. Continue to harass these defilers of the the High War. You are not to lead the offense yet. One is yet to come, with an army to reinforce you. Where your brother did not succeed continue on. Deny the invaders their strength instead. Weaken them.''
+''Henceforth, Steward of the Dreadnaught, we name you thus.''
+====Dumuzod====
+''You are Dumuzod, supreme commander over your seven brothers and sisters. This therefore is your task and geas. Atend. If any of you should fall, note their passing, and summon them again to your side. They will be needed. For the one to vanquish them will come. This warrior shall you prove yourself against.''
+''Issue them this challenge:'' The Taken emerge from a different place of existence. Step into the void to challenge the Taken. If you would suffer, this is the place.
+''If you fail, you are not worthy. The sword logic demands a pinnacle of strength. Push yourself upon your knife and revel in the pain it brings.''
+====Dumuz-Nuna====
+''You are Dumz-Nuna, servant of the Hive, of the Blood of Oryx.''
+''You have been taken.''
+''You are tasked with defense of this sacred place's secrets, for should your master fall he will not be there to protect it. Become stronger than him.''
+''If you fail, you are not worthy. At the Gate of the Court are you placed.''
+====Kilulu====
+''You are Kilulu, servant of the Hive, of the Blood of Oryx.''
+''Attend: your master has fallen. In his place shall you guard what he has failed to protect. Become stronger than him.''
+''If you fail, you are not worthy. At the Gate of the Court are you placed.''
+====Mishkara====
+''You are Mishkara. You serve the Hive, and above them their gods.''
+''Attend: with your master's departure, you must step up to do what he can not longer do. Become stronger than him.''
+''If you fail, you are not worthy. At the Gate of the Court are you placed.''
+====Darnu, Horn of Oryx====
+''You are Darnu. You have been chosen for this great honor, to be the right hand of Oryx himself, to be his Horn of Strength.''
+''Attend: the homeplace of the dead warriors animated by Light is your target. Corrupt and defile that ground, to entrap the parasite god which has fled from us.''
+''Become the Horn of Oryx, and show them his Strength.''
+====Krathoor====
+''You are Krathoor. Knight of the Hive. A servant of Crota.''
+''Attend: the Shrine upon the Moon is left defenseless. Go there, take your force, and guard it from intrusion. Do not fail, for this is your task.''
+''If you fail, become wormfood.''
+====Stirok, Banner of Oryx====
+''You are Stirok. You have been chosen for this great honor, to be Oryx's herald.''
+''Attend: the homeplace of the dead warriors animated by light is also the resting ground of that parasite god. Go and destroy it, so that Oryx's geas is fulfilled.''
+''Become the Banner of Oryx, and proclaim the standard.''
+====Syrok, Word of Oryx====
+''You are Syrok. Knight of the Hive. A loyal servant of Oryx, the Taken King.''
+''Attend: you have been chosen to lead the first of the vanguard into battle against the place of horror, where an empire rests, wary but unwatchful. Show them the Word you are tasked with. Show them the Final Shape and let Oryx work his will through you.''
+''Become the Word of Oryx, and announce the end.''
+====Tsugoth, Gauntlet of Oryx====
+''You are Tsugoth. Knight of the Hive. A loyal servant of the King.''
+''Attend: your brothers and sisters have all failed — you alone stand between the enemy and your King. Hunt them and destroy them utterly. If you fail, become wormfood.''
+''Become the Gauntlet of Oryx, his armor.''
+====Xarthra====
+''You are Xarthra. Knight of the Hive. Servant of the King.''
+''Attend: the four-armed creatures of rejection have seen something inside the Warmind. Why else would it be transmitting a call for help on every channel? Our Mothers can hear it. Go there, then, and intercept the fallen, blockade the dead warriors. Go and rip the secrets of the Warmind.''
+''If you fail, you shall become flesh to be consumed.''
+====Balvog, Shield of Oryx====
+''You are Balvog. Knight of the Hive. Defender of the Taken King.''
+''Attend: a servant of the dead has infiltrated the domain of the High War. Fulfil the logic of the sword and challenge them. Kill them. They will seek to kill your master. Do not fail.''
+''Become the Shield of Oryx, his guard.''
+====Agrax, the Rotted====
+''You are Agrax. You have been tasked with guarding a rebel.''
+''Attend: this rebel will attempt to escape. Keep him confined. Should sympathizers come and free him, kill and eviscerate them. Should warriors of the dead come, kill them also. Use your knowledge of war to defeat them.''
+''With your worm nearly consuming you, this power shall hold it at bay, for you serve Oryx.''
+====Morgath, Lore-Keeper====
+''You are Morgath. Knight of the Hive, but with the mind of a Wizard.''
+''Attend: this Garden of the Vex is unusual. We detect great power from it, fading but still there. It is disorganized; we can make use of that. Go there, in the tracks of its Undying Mind. Show it the nature of power, and then record what it knows. This Garden will be useful. For our gods are our own.''
+''We name you the Lore-Keeper.''
+====Urlot, the Trampler====
+''You are Urlot. Loyal Knight of the Hive.''
+''You participated in the rebellion. This is unacceptable, for you failed. Prove to us you can succeed, by guarding your former master in his cell alongside the Warden Knights. You trampled over thousands of Thrall and lowly Acolytes in your rampage — control that aggression and focus it within your weapon.''
+''The Trampler, you are named.''
+====Kalboh, the Unclaimed====
+''You are Kalboh. You are tasked for defense.''
+''You defy it. You name yourself Unbidden. We deny this — we name you the Unclaimed. For since you have locked yourself from command, keeping your tribute from us, you are punished. Languish, therefore, guarding a fellow rebel with no tribute to feed your stifled worm. You shall forever starve.''
+''The Unclaimed you are named, until you die. But this will not be for you. Guard your post.''
+====Adleg, Warden of Oryx====
+''You are Adleg. Loyal Knight of the Hive, of the Silent Brood. Your task is to guard.''
+''You have failed. In vain did you attempt to turn against your brothers, to free the darkblade from his treachery. Against Oryx himself. You are a pitiful thing. But fear not. The Final Shape is pleased with your striving. It is the way of life. No creature should be so comfortable in his own castle that he does not fear attack at all. Even from within.''
+''But now you have been taken, and you will be made to serve, Warden of Oryx, until death.''
+====Purtra, the False Tongue====
+''You are Purtra, a Witch-Tongue of the Hive.''
+''Lay aside your prayers, your question is answered. Now attend. Your master has crippled himself in the defense of his fortress. His fleet is no more, and his soldiers scattered. The castle itself is breached by an empire of warriors. Sally forth and challenge them in battle. Lie to them, and set their shells free; rend their spirit from flesh. Redefine them to fit the designs of the Final Shape.''
+''The False-Tongue is your reality. Do not prove it vain.''
+====Surnon, Darksong====
+''You are Surnon, a Witch-Singer of the Hive.''
+''Lay aside your hymns and your psalteries, your question is answered. Now attend. There are discordant melodies and tones within the Symphony of Death. A choir of brutes invade, smashing everything, ruining the song. You will define for them then what it is like to sing — teach them how to raise joy.''
+''A song of darkness shall you craft. Live within it.''
+====Disrok====
+''You are Disrok, a Witch-Warden of the Hive.''
+''Lay aside your watch for a moment, and attend. Strange creatures invade. They would seek to plunder what you guard and protect. Your master is absent, slain in the flesh by a dead warrior, banished to his realm. While he yet recovers, save that which is his and keep it from despoilment.''
+''Do not fail, Warden. Become wormfood if you do.''
+====Drarok, the Watching====
+''You are Drarok, a Witch-Warden of the Hive.''
+''Attend: the rebel's cell will soon be breached by strange non-things seeking his destruction. Keep a watch and a tireless gaze should it come to pass. You will call upon your sister for aid — if your brothers disappoint succeeded where they cannot.''
+''Live up to your name, and becoming the Watcher.''
+====Nolthok, the Withering====
+''You are Nolthok, a Witch-Warden of the Hive.''
+''Attend: your sister has need of you. Where she watches, you wait. Unleash your power upon those which trespass into that watchful waiting. With her shall you guard these doors. Do not fail, lady.''
+''Wither your foes away.''
+====Mar-Zik, the Blightcaller====
+''You are Mar-Zik, a Witch-Guard of the Hive.''
+''Attend: your brother shall lead the charge. As he proclaims the Word of your master, you shall call upon limitless legions of undying warriors to your aid. Conquer the moon of horror and eviscerate it of alien taint. Fulfil the sword-logic.''
+''Send forth the Blight.''
+====Sarkoor====
+''You are Sarkoor, a Witch-Tongue of the Hive.''
+''Attend: your master's son's grave has been disturbed, its keeper wounded unto death. Go there with your sisters and kill the infection. Devour its light and present it unto us with the appropriate ritual. Now go.''
+''Consume the filth!''
+====Khendis, World Corruptor====
+''You are Khendis, a Witch-Singer of the Hive.''
+''Attend: the Vex have a strange power here in this Garden. With your brother, the Keeper of Lore, track them and seek out where this power may be. Corrupt or steal it and turn it to us. Our gods are ours alone. Blight this Garden with your power and change it according to the Final Shape.''
+''The World Corrupter we name you, thus.''
+====Gamoth, the Consumed====
+''You are Gamoth, a Witch-Singer of the Hive.''
+''Now go and with your brothers and sisters seek out the holdfast of the Warmind. There lies within a power to consume. A machine, second of its name. You are tasked to capture it. Why, you ask. This — its skill will be turned to the Final Shape, for all in the end shall be subsumed entirely. Such as you, the Consumed.''
+''You who gave yourself over to the Final Shape, go forth and consume.''
+====Thyshik, Matron of Oryx====
+''You are Thyshik, a Witch-Tongue of the Hive.''
+''Attend: your master lies dead in the flesh, trapped in his throne. But his work is yet to be completed. Go forth with whomever will follow your lead. Go to Earth — where that parasite god lies. Established a secret coven and wait for his return. In the meantime, raise up a spawn of warriors and soldiers and conquer, to hasten your master's return.''
+''As the Matron of Oryx, your duty is to care for what is his. Do not fail.''
+====Mysik, Daughter of Oryx====
+''You are Mysik, a Witch-Tongue of the Hive.''
+''Attend: your master is currently withheld from you. This is no matter. With your sisters go to Earth and begin to drain its strength. Corrupt that which gives it strength; infect that which is its weakness. Ensnare the light-blighted and suck them dry.''
+''As a Daughter of Oryx, spread his name of fear across the realm.''
+====Zyrak, Daughter of Oryx====
+''You are Mysik, a Witch-Tongue of the Hive.''
+''Attend: your master is away, far from your grasp. This is no matter, for you have a task set before you. Go to Earth, follow your sisters. There transform it to the designs of the Final Shape and change it into a breeding ground for your master's return. Harry the light-blighted and keep them distracted.''
+''As a Daughter of Oryx, spread his name of terror across the land.''
