Starting Traits: Fueled By Pain: The Dark Eldar are

sick individuals, relishing in pain and feeling it as though it were the ripest of ecstasies. They often commit themselves to dark, sadistic rituals of pleasure and pain that no mortal man could survive. It is this high resistance to pain

that makes them more dangerous adversaries wounded then at full health. Benefit: Eldar Corsairs always counted as lightly wounded for the purposes of healing.

Kroot Mercenary
They are fierce indeed these Kroot, and savage. I look upon them and tremble at their ferocity. I can only hope that when the enemy sees them they tremble as I do. -Porvre Tau Cho, Water caste. From the beginning, Kroot are raised in trials by fire. The Kroot Carnivore race was first discovered by the intellectual Tau Empire. They were one of the few races to not resist the Taus greater good methodology. Though no resistance was made, they Kroot were far from assimilated. The Kroot race are warriors and warriors only. Their children are raised as hunters, their hunters raised as Warriors and it is from this path that a Kroot may choose its path. A Kroot has the choice to return home, aid its kin, or do battle among the stars. Though, hundreds flock home to learn medicine and other trades, it is the Grand Fighters that make up the fighting ranks of the Kroot. The Kroot themselves are mercenaries. They care not for personal prejudices or glorious battles, and fight for others only with the promise of a glorious paycheck at the end of the day. It is this mentality that has forced them to do operations with the Eldar, Orks, Imperium and even dark forces of Chaos behind the extremely prejudice iron fist of the Tau Empire or risk their own annihilation. Their primary defense is their body structure. Formed of hard quills that absorb impact and form strength stronger than muscle, their bodies form a terrifying visage that can not only intimidate their weaker opponents into submission, but slaughter the stronger one in combat. In addition, the Kroot have an empty gene structure that, upon eating their fallen enemies, bonds with their enemys compete

double helix, allowing them to immediately evolve. Huntsman
