Male Verthellite Berzerker (concept armor)

Description

Verthell has been known as a powerhouse in terms of physical attacks. Even their magic focuses around the use of powerful enhancer moves.
The Frontline command units known as the Berzerker is the counterpart against the Theavencian Valkyrie and is all about raw physical strength.
They are breakthrough units allowing soldiers to overcome enemy defenses as Berzerkers pave the way. 

Although mighty, the Berzerkers are naturally weak against any unit that proves slippery (damn angels and their wings). 
At most their best bet against flying targets is lobbing a huge spear or anything at the damn flyers...
(get down here and fight me like a real man you oversized pidgoen!)

*clears throat* Nevertheless any unit that is unfortunate enough to be on a Berzerkers path is rather unlucky. And unlike their Valkyrie counterparts. Berzerkers can use more than one weapon at a time rather than the Valkyrie relying on a great sword. They range from Huge battle axes and hammers, incredibly over sized swords, bludgeoning dual gaunts, and their favorites, the demonic Lance and Pikes.
As a weapon advantage can easily overcome a valkyrie, but the valkyrie has more magic than them so yeah, that's the angel's upperhand.

In the current days, the Berzerkers are a disappearing kind of soldier being replaced by the new military lieutenants. Their contributions in history proved dominant that akin to the Japanese Samurai as the fighter supreme on Verthell's golden years. This rather alarming drop of Berzerkers is rather upsetting, but has a reason. The Theavencian's increased research and use of new defensive magic proved superior to the Berzerkers physical magic and strength. And naturally became rather useless in the advancing battlefield whilst the Valkyrie are currently growing. As unfortunate as it may be, their kind is estimated to be gone in just a few more years, long enough to see the last Berzerker retire from their mighty, and incredible history.

Final notes on the berzerkers, they don't really issue commands per say, they rarely do. But troops follow behind them as they lead the charge.
Their trust on their physical strength gave the men the morale they needed to overcome any obstacle. The new lieutenants don't necessarily do the same, as they issue commands more than their predecessors. And mostly avoid getting their hands dirty most of the time. (damn cowards)

Sorry this isn't as long as the other lore bits, but considering that it's just talking about the Berzerkers which has no other connections rather than being frontline soldiers and a dying one at that. This is as much as I can muster out of them, but do feel free to ask more about these guys if you want. I am very obliged to answer your questions. :D

so basically they're a prideful, wild person~ XD great design as always! :D

but i wonder, the berzerker in your description makes it looks like a not-completely-liability, but still not so useful that much , outside from breaking through the enemy ranks.. are there any more suitable roles for them? well, considering their pride perhaps, they can't easily be ordered.. can't they just work as a surprise/ambush units? perhaps it will gain more fear to the enemies ranks~ considering they can't wait for the time XD
