A Giant Among Men - Ulrichs experimental Mark 2 Dreadguard augmentations have increased bone mass and muscle density, making Ulrich Rade a hulking beast. The expense of such stress placed on the human body has resulted in a drastically limited life span, suspected to live no longer than thirty-five. While his size does not make him slow and dull, contrary to popular belief, it does prove a challenge to Ulrich to combat lithe opponents.
Rides a Dread Legion - Ulrich is just one of many Mark 2 Dreadguards, alongside his augmentations and vong biotes, he was made Force Dead, incapable of being affected by - or affecting - the Force. For Ulrichs size he was chosen as a specialized commando, trained to wield immense rifles and swords of war, cutting through swathes of enemy lines with the ease of a child playing with dolls. Alas, the option of stealth is not available to Ulrich.
Size Matters - Ulrich is incapable of flying common starfighters, and suffers from a lack of training in the field. No size-conforming starfighter have been produced for him, making him totally inept in the skies. Unable to comfortably fit at the helm of a cockpit, he is forced to stay where he belongs - on the ground, or when moving he will take up the hold of a troop transport bay.
War is my Game - Ulrich has little understanding of non-military technologies and equipment. He would prove a horrible slicer, or a tech-wiz. Ulrich would find himself lost in a maze of ignorance if he was required to access the HoloNet, and not even a fool would trust him with managing credits.
