Orc
8 variants
The quintessential standard for bad guys, thugs, and evil soldiers. Orcs are big and slow and perfect for those powerful enough to make them submit. They are single minded in their pursuit of war and their need to live hard before their short lives burn out.
Big, Ugly, Brutes
While they differ greatly, Orcs share certain physical qualities. Orcs of all kinds usually have stooped builds, grayish skin, and coarse black hair, with low foreheads, reddish eyes, and faces of porcine appearance that feature large lower canines similar to a boar's tusks. They also have wolf-like ears that are pointed on the ends. Orcs are roughly the same size as humans and similar humanoids, though usually larger.
They are creatures of action and while they do not think about other possible solutions they press forward with usually the simplest and most violent solution possible. They are easily angered and are more temperamental and slow than most races.
War, Brawls, and Breeding
Orcs when not at war, plan and prepare for war. If they are not fighting they are recuperating from a fight or training for the next fight. Orcs in general believe that their very existence is based on taking as many resources as possible for themselves all while destroying or subjugating all they can. They live in male dominated societies with females being livestock and trophies. They do not build or create unless they absolutely must usually just take from those that they conquer.
Orcs have extremely pure blood. If an Orc mates within anything that is humanoid and not an Elf, it will be an Orc or very close to one. As such Orcs can have an almost unlimited possibility for what one of their parents might be and depending on the individual that can affect them greatly in terms of personal development. In addition, their primal incompatibility with Elves in every aspect makes them bitter enemies who seek out each other's extinction.
Live Fast and Die With Glory
Orcs are born in droves and age quickly. They do not live long so they live hard and fast. Orcs are not patient, they do not see long term gains. They must fight and win before they grow old and are trodden upon by the new generation. Old Orcs generally do not exist. If they die of old age they live their lives wrong. When an Orc gets old they become more angry and quicker to go to blows as they seek to die in combat.
