Blue

Whoever said Orks could never be adorable never counted on Orks by proxy.

The Story of Blue on /tg/

Dat grotz got hipz!

A very shitty thread was posted on /tg/, about a cultural exchange with the Tau where they send a Tau Girl over in exchange for- Oh fuck it, who cares, it was a terrible opening. Cue a lot of generic fetish comments, and that sort of thing.

One poster wondered what would happen if the Orks were the ones to be a part of this exchange, and things spiralled out from there. People posted little stories of how they thought it might go, and a name was coined - Blue. The idea gained traction as the thread went on, and eventually ended up with a vaguely fleshed out character, one with drawings as well.

The story of Blue in the universe

During the war of the dakka the tau were falling back and at one point abandoning a small colony on a satellite world. The Orks overran the colony where the earth caste members were lodged. Her parents lost in the confusion of the evacuation, a young Tau girl was left alone in her habitation block.

The Orks ignored her, looking for a proper fight, but some snotlings and gretchin eager to prove that they were big and tough orks decided to gang up on her.

She then proceeded to pick up a tau spanner and kick, punch and wallop her way into a corner, fighting off all the snotlings and gretchin in her way. When a mek came (to kick all the snotlings upside the head) he saw the young tau girl. Mistaking it for a blue grot, and noticing it already had a wrench, he picked her up and told her to get back to work.

Thanks to her earth caste upbringing she had a rudimentary knowledge of machines and mechanics, and her ability to help the Meks inventions work made her a utility to the Orks (although really the Mek just thought that she was a lucky charm due to her blueness).

Now the Ork Mek keeps her close and acts to protect her (at least telling other Orks to shove off), while she herself has an added ability to kick some of the smaller orks/grots upside the head if they do cause her trouble.

Her ability to add dakka is also a boon to the orks and "Da Blue Grot" has become somewhat of an endearing name for her.

She has a pet of sorts, a squig who flies around in a small drone. Showing off her very Orky imagination, she named him "Mr Squig". He buzzes around her, bumping into things often and being a general nuisance.

/tg/ writes a few scenarios

The one that started it all off:

>'Ere boyz, wut's dis squishy blue fing?

>I dunno boss, them aliens gave it t' us. Want me to krump it good?

>No, y' stoopid git, I'm boss and I say what we're krumpin. And we ain't krumpin this thing. Give it to da mekboyz, dey need the help.

>If you say so boss.

---

>Oi! Wut's all dis now?

>Huh? Oh, uh, b-boss! Well, this, uh, what was he called again?

>E's a Nob, Blue. And e's lyin on da floor.

>Right, about that. He, uh, well he tried to tell me what to do, so I...

>You wut?

>I... I krumped him good!

>Dat's me gal!

>Oh, I found some guns on the ones that weren't wrecked, so I figured I'd slap them all on one suit and see how it works.

>Huh? Why you doin' that?

>...What do you mean, why? It needed more dakka....

>Hey, boss, are you crying?

>Dey grow up so fast on ya....

---

>Wut's dis here, Blue?

>I thought I'd help put together a truck!

>But dis has chainswords on da front, da sides, and da back

>Well, I thought that instead of just being shooty, it could be choppy as well!

>Blue, keep dis up and y'll be more've an ork dan any of da gitz here

---

>Wut y' workin on Blue?

>Well, I thought that most of your shooters were a bit too simple, so I decided I'd make them a bit more interesting

>It looks like a normal shoota t' me

>Ah, but see here, when it fires, it actually fires spinning blades! It's choppy as well as shooty!

>Wow Blue. Is der anyfing you CAN'T do?

---

>Now, dis one is Gork, and dis one is Mork.

>But sir, what's the difference between them?

>Who's the teecher 'ere? Shurrup. Da diff'rence is dat Gork is brutally cunning, but Mork is cunningly brutal. Get it now?

>I'm... Not sure I do...

>Gork krumps ya when yer' not lookin', and Mork krumps ya so y' can't look at anyfin any more. Alright?

>Yes sir!

>No ya git. Mork krumps ya when yer' not lookin', and Gork krumps ya so y' can't look at anyfin any more.

>You ain't no teecher. I's got a whiteboard 'n everfing, so whatever da zog I say is da truth. N' I say Gork krumps when y' ain't lookin, 'n' Gork Krumps ya so y' can't look any more. I gots kwal-if-ick-ay-shuns.

>So, what does Mork do, then, Professork?

>'E, er... 'E krumps, er... Shurrup or I'm gunna give YOU da krumpin. You erd wot I sed and dat's wot da troof is. Whatever it were dat I sed. See Blue, dese Orkz is all stoopid. Dey need a good teecher like me or dey's never gunna lern nuffin.

>Wot da zog are yous playin at, blue? Wot da zog 'ave you dun ta my trukk? Woss all dis gubbins here?

>I replicated the Earth Caste Tetra's as best I could, I even polished the barrels and even managed to piece together some anti-gravity jets.

>But oi told yoo to make it fastah!

>B-but it has everything a Tetra does and those far outclock any wheeled device and I worked really hard a-and I thought you'd like it a-and..

The warboss stoops down and embraces the snivvelling Tau with his remaining biological arm while unhooking something from the wall with the mechanical one. A gargantuan green paw rests on her tiny shoulder and roughly dries off a tear with the flick of a calloused digit.

>Oh blue, ya daft git. Da trukk's dead orky but..

the Warboss says smiling, holding up a can of paint and a brush.

>Da RED wuns is da fastest.

  Blue's drone/pet, Mr Squig. Hated by pretty much everyone apart from Blue, but is speedy enough to have avoided getting squished (thus far).
