In the privacy of his room, Karnage was considerably.... Unorky. He was always a bit of a strange one what with his grey skin, fairly small stature and the fact he could stand up strait. Indeed, ever since his encounter with those spiky, angry 'ard boys way back when, Karnage looked more demon than ork. Which he'd never told anyone, but it was a bit more true than the orks would have ever thought. There was no doubt that he was once an ork, but so much time has passed that he was an ork in memory only. He lacked the ork's ability to grow no matter who he defeats. Even if he were to defeat the kaptain in combat he would never grow. The demonic taint within him took that away. But with it, it also gave him a sense of... Wisdom. The ability to think not like an ork. And ability that Karnage has actually had for quite some time.<br/><br/>This was most telling when he was alone in his room, where he did the very unorky thing of writing. Not in a notebook or anything, his penmanship was hardly worth using, but by using a terminal he looted a while back. Unlike some of the other orks he managed to figure out enough about how to use a "Keyboard", as the humans call it, to type various journal entries. He only started doing this when he joined Ramma 'O Gork, as before he and his warband were very nomadic, and the luxury of even having a room to himself was something Karnage didn't have back than. Karnage wrote these journal entries so he could remember things from the past, and more importantly, remember who he really was.<br/><br/>He plays the part of a dim-witted ork well, and admittedly he enjoys it. Before he was an inventor, maybe even a scholar, but his simply lacked the innate technological ability to create weapons like most of the mek boys. Karnage actually had a very analytical mind, but when he was faced with true orkish craftsmanship, his mind could not comprehend how they are created. Since than he's gotten better at understanding how orks work, but even so he has chosen a certain level of ignorance when it comes to orkish things, for the benefit of himself and others.<br/><br/>Another strange thing was that, after taking the humie to the kaptain, Karnage took the same humie away back to their ship and dropped the act, at least when out of sight of the other orks. He even spoke proper imperial Gothic.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Alright Mortal, here is what we want you to do."</span><br/><br/>Karnage had already grasp most of what the kaptin's plan was the moment he was asked to bring the humie to him, or at least Karnage thinks so. Use the human to convince the planet they were about to raid to open up a path for their (Human) ship, while the Ramma 'O Gork trailed behind to attack the planet. Obviously the imperial guardsman would never allow this to happen, and even if he valued his life knew he couldn't do it if he tried. So Karnage "smooth talked" him, which mainly involved threatening the Imperial Guardsman family.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Have you ever seen what those orks do to those who are weaker than them? Killing is perhaps the most merciful thing. No... Orks are as bestial and vile as your people would say they are. When I take your wife and daughter back to my minions, we will torture them. Defile their bodies worse than what any demon will do to them. We will ravage them until their bones are broken, their meat beaten and bloodied, and their bodies leaking with our lust and sin. If you care anything about their lives and your own, you will don the mantle of your previous captain, and inform the humans that you have recently escaped a brutal skirmish with the orks. You will convince them to allow you to enter the planet unhindered, and allow us to arrive and raze the their planet to it's very center. Do so and your family can live, to start a new life away from the likes of us. Or it can end here and now. I am your only hope. No gods, no emperors. Now go."</span><br/><br/>That was a while ago. Karnage honestly doesn't know if what he said to the guardsman would work, and he knew that the entire plan hinged on his acting and for the planet not to be too paranoid. Still, it ultimately didn't matter to Karnage. At worse all this would do is make it a little bit harder for the Ramma 'O Gork to land, and that was only because there'd be more gits trying to shoot them down, and that was always fun. Karnage finished off his journal entry with a quote for the day:<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">"The value of the sword is not that it falls, but rather, that it hangs."</span></span><br/><br/>After that Karnage went to work on that stabby weapon he was thinking of. He lacked a mek boy's innate knowledge of making shootas and such, but even he had a base idea of mechanics to create this git-grabbing weapon of his. He still needed a name though. "Git Grabber" sounded lame, he wanted something more fearsome.<span style="font-weight: bold">"Hmm... Maybe something like... Da Stabber. Nah."</span>Karnage continued to tinker and think as he began to put together his new weapon.
