| |
| − | It may be evil, but it feels goooooooood :-)
| |
| − | The green gleam on my eyes gives me a feeling of power
| |
| − | and might, my neckhairs raise and my mind is completely focused to
| |
| − | kill. And with every head I take, I learn more and more about the way
| |
| − | of being WickSick. It is my fate and I give my very best to please the
| |
| − | ancestors as much as I can.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * {{profile|1093|Foo Fighter}}:
| |
| − | Being wicksick is all about the moment when the head is cut off and
| |
| − | falls to the ground. Nothing compares to that moment, and if you didn't
| |
| − | do it, you can't understand. All the shrinking business and trophy
| |
| − | fondling afterwards is only an attempt to recapture those moments of
| |
| − | bliss.

| |
| − | were in the air and we told each other the stories of our grandfathers.
| |
| − | The night got longer and longer the herbs lesser and lesser and
| |
| − | somehow we both started to talk about an ancient tale, that our
| |
| − | ancestors tell since a very long time.

| − | island. Wiksiks were almost lost as N'Yarla, the shaman, had a vision.
| + | * [[The_WickSick_Headhunters/Favourite_Trophies|Favouite Trophies]] |
| − | HE, the mighty god of war saw the suffering of our hometown and told
| |
| − | N'Yarla to collect the best warriors in the town on top of the mountain
| |
| − | when the stars would be right.
| |
| | | | |
| − | N'Yarla took the best fighters with him and in a starry night they
| |
| − | passed by the lingering warriors, into the jungle and climed up the mountain.
| |
| − | The night didn't end, time did run slowly and mists came up. When they
| |
| − | were on the top, sky did clear up and the great conjunction arrived. The
| |
| − | large and the small deer united in heaven and a the brave ones were
| |
| − | surrounde by a mystical, strong green light. A wind came up from the
| |
| − | south and a voice loud and stong said: "Great warriors of Wiksik.
| |
| − | You fight brave against the intruders but they exceed you in number.
| |
| − | Keep your spirits up! I shall give you power which helps you to
| |
| − | beat the bastards. Go and get their heads! Oi!" And with the last word
| |
| − | everything got black around the warriors and they fell in a deep
| |
| − | slumber. As they woke up, it was the next morning and they were back in their hometown.
| |
| − | N'Yarla had vanished and did not come back again until today. It is said, that
| |
| − | he will be back and connect to the minds of the warriors when time is right again.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Wiksiks won the war and the heads of our enemies were piled on top of the

| − | mountain. After everything was done, the only way to the top was
| |
| − | blocked by huge rocks falling from the sky.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When we ended the story, the first light of day came up. And with it
| |
| − | came the news. Pale, unshaved, stinking humans landed on the island and
| |
| − | started to build and hunt in our territory. Our scouts wanted to greet them
| |
| − | and asked for a gift as it was our custom ever since. The only gifts they
| |
| − | got were fire and death. And with that news my senses started to
| |
| − | change. A green gleam was laid over my eyes and I felt a slight lust
| |
| − | for blood and heads rising to my neck. I asked our shaman and he said,
| |
| − | that I haven't been the first to encounter this phenomenon. So I started to
| |
| − | search the others and joined the group of the legendary

| |
| − | When Foo Fighter grew up, he spent all his days in the vicinity of a
| |
| − | warriors hut in Wiksik that got burned down laters. He would always be
| |
| − | happy to perform random tasks for them, and for that, he was allowed to
| |
| − | watch how the old men bragged about their glorious deeds of the past.
| |
| − | The summers were longer and the winters colder, the grass was greener
| |
| − | and the water or the sea had a better blue in those days. The old
| |
| − | warriors always talked how they would go out and whack some native of
| |
| − | another tribe and take their heads just for the hell of it. They showed
| |
| − | off their collections, and Foo Fighter knew the names of all the prized
| |
| − | heads by heart very soon. He learned how to cook potions and learned
| |
| − | lots of ways to use rare oils. The warriors hut got burned down by an
| |
| − | angry mob, eventually - all kinds of accusations - that don't need to
| |
| − | be related here - were in the air.
| |
| − | As soon as Foo Fighter was old enough to swing a machete he decided to
| |
| − | revive the old custom of headhunting again, and went on a killing spree
| |
| − | derbywards. That was the time when people began to speak of him and
| |
| − | others being wicksick. The rest of the story is known ;-)

| |
| − | | |
| − | === Call to the Machetes! ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first killing rampage of our founder Foo Fighter was ended by a...missionary.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He is from Derby. What is this Derby? We don't know exactly. It is somewhere in the south east of Wiksik.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What do they do (except killing headhunters)? They build a street right in our direction!
| |
| − | | |
| − | So what do we do? We meet up in Wiksik and go hunt their heads!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Let's meet at the two famous huts north of the shaman in Wiksik. We stock up on poison darts and healing herbs and make each other hot for the glorious taking of outsider heads! Bring your preservation potions!
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The First Gathering! ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Slowly but surely, the outsiders build their road, but not in peace anymore. We met under the famous tree south east of Wiksik, held initiatory sacrifices, brought forth a totally stunned survivor and marked our first gathering with blood! Two outsiders died that day, one of them obviously the too enterprising road builder himself. Soon enough, the outsiders will cower in their windy huts, whispering about the merciless headhunters!
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The Rampage Begins! ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | After staging a small deer giveaway to appease the spirits, The WickSick Headhunters spread out along the already overgrowing street derbywards. Many, many more heads were taken since the initial sacrifices of the road builders, and only on casualty to moan so far. Our brave Emile Durkheim was slain several times by a certain 'Spookey' and had to return to our shaman to get some evil curse potions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Spring Cleaning and the Unriddling of Derby ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The fame of the WickSick Headhunters spread fastly around fair Wiksik, and, after the advaent of several outsiders, many natives went 'WickSick' and started to search the heads of outsiders who were lured there by our, ahem, 'virgin' maidens. In the meantime, Foo Fighter finally reached Derby, scouted the weapons and healing huts and established barter relations with 'Trader Tom'. He is still stalking windy Derby, but his letters tell of growing home-sickness, so the reunion of all Wicksick Headhunters might be near...
| |
| − | | |
| − | === The Ritual to Appease the Ancestors ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | We gathered on the island south of Derby and happily sacrificied our brother Lama as gift to our Ancestor Spirits. Here is an account of the occasion:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | After killing hapless Derbians on end, all the heads got hard to carry, so most of the Headhunters decided to return to Wiksik, where several mythical figures and other native stalker heads were collected.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Visiting Our Friends in Raktam ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Getting a bit bored in good old Wiksik, the Headhunters decided to visit their native neighbor village Raktam to socialize for some outsider hunting and serious ritual business. The most prominent inhabitants of fair Raktam attended our gatherings, and noted them with satisfaction. Also, Sir James Frazer of ASSI attended one of the rituals, so we expect to get books full of this thing called fame in no time.

| |
| − | After collecting many stinky pirate heads at the shipwreck, the WickSick Headhunters climbed the crow's nest of the unforunate boat and set their eyes on Dalpok. This native village turns out to be the constant target of many outsiders and pirates and we surely won't miss to take some of their heads home as trophies!

| |

| |
