Editing Ogryn (section)

===Awakened Ogryn===

You ever wonder how much havoc an Ogryn could cause if they had psyker abilities? Well guess what, now you can find out! What’s that you say? It’s impossible? Well yeah normally you’d be right about that as barring possibly some chaos mutated Ogryn there had never before been a known example of a psyker appearing among the Ogryn…until now! See over on [[Necromunda]] there was a rogue human psyker, or wyrd as the locals called them, who went by the name of Ursan Graves and who lived down beneath Hive Primus in a place called Heretic’s Hold. This community was built around the wreck of an old starship that was half sunken into a subterranean sea, a ship which Graves decided to claim for himself as his stronghold. After settling in, he and his gang of fellow rogue psykers in an attempt to increase their numbers eventually developed a psychic surgery using a narcotic called Ghast that could theoretically turn anyone it was applied to into a psyker. Unfortunately as it turns out the average human’s body is too squishy and their subconscious mind too active to survive the surgery and the resulting surge of warp energy without exploding. Graves luck changed though when he decided to try out the surgery on some Ogryn. Thanks to their stronger bodies and lack of creativity 1 of the 5 test subjects, who was nicknamed “The Thinker” by the gang, actually managed to survive the procedure and proved to be a devastatingly powerful addition to their ranks. Later after Graves was nearly killed by a bunch of [[Ironhead Squat Prospectors]] who broke into his ship and ran off with a squat ancestral shard full of all kinds of valuable data that had been hidden away, Graves decided to start making more of these “Awakened Ogryns” with some of them later ending up in the hands of the other underhive gangs. So now you can own your very own non-sanctioned psyker Ogryn! Now sure they’re considered abominations by Imperial authorities and associating with one is liable to get you shot for {{BLAM|HERESY!}} but they’re also still just as super loyal, come equipped with augmented fists by default, and now thanks to the surgery [[Rape|they can crush people with their minds, wreath themselves in burning flames, toughen themselves up by transmuting their own body into living metal, inflict fear on enemies, jinx other peoples weapons, or overcharge their own weapon with psychic power for added damage!]] If you’re an Enforcer or Arbites stationed on Necromunda now might be a good time to put in your transfer papers while you still can.

Later on after [[Abaddon]] created the Great Rift by obliterating [[Cadia]], Necromunda stopped being the only place with psychic Ogryn. According to the book ''Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh!'', a female Ogryn member of a Penal legion going by the title Indentured Conscript C455-I spontaneously developed psyker abilities while protecting her commissar from mortar fire during a fight against the Xenos species called the Delq on the planet Karkhemish Secundus, a battle which ended with the Imperials ultimately failing to take the world. Normally she would have been executed as an abomination for her troubles, however her commissar owed a favor to a certain Lord Inquisitor Tytonida Nebaszinar Falx who after hearing about her faked a report saying the Ogryn was executed for cowardice and recruited the Ogryn into her retinue. While there the awakened Ogryn rather cleverly changed her name to Cassia and and met the Space Wolves Rune Priest Orm Hendriksen who acted as her mentor. As time time passed Cassia began developing an increased intellect and with Falx's permission, she began studying old Ordo Biologos texts from the Lord Inquisitor's personal library. Over the course of two years of repeated studying, the Ogryn eventually taught herself how to read and write in fine calligraphy and began keeping a journal of her thoughts -- something which was incredibly surprising, as that automatically makes her smarter than three-quarters of the Imperium’s regular human population! <s> Maybe that psychic next step for human evolution the Emperor was trying to achieve was actually referring to psychic Ogryn! </s>{{BLAM}}{{BLAM|HERESY!}}{{BLAM}}
