Freebooterz forsake their previous [[Ork Clan|Clan]] and tribal allegiances and usually wear a distinctive style of dress to emphasise this, often decorating themselves with ear and nose rings, '''Jolly Ork''' symbols and flamboyant clothing. As Freebooterz often don't have access to [[Painboyz]] or [[Mekboyz]]; their injuries are frequently have to be patched up in a temporary manner, thus many Freebooterz sport eyepatches, peg-legs or hook hands. Freebooter bands are often led by a '''Kaptain''', these individuals are even tougher, more ruthless and foul tempered than the rest of their bretheren and are usually even more ostentaciously attired - frequently favouring large hats and voluminous coats in which they conceal numerous weapons and flasks of fungus rum.
The universal symbol of the Freebooterz is the '''''Jolly Ork''''' - an Ork Skull and Crossbones motif which often adorns their clothes, banners and vehicles.<sup>1p9</sup>
