White Orcs

White Orcs are a subtype of Orcs who have adapted to the colder climate living in locations such as the Frozen Plains.  

Appearance

For the most part, White Orcs share many similarities with regular orcs being large, threatening and certainly strong individuals. The main differences though are that on average White Orcs are a bit taller than regular Orcs; their skin is usually white, sometimes grey and sometimes even has hints of blue, and their body is covered in fur, also matching these colours. They, just like Orcs, perhaps even more though, often utilize warpaint, tattoos and body modification.  

Values

White Orcs like regular Orcs value strength and power above all else so they spend most of their time training, battling and improving one another. Much of the time for clans of White Orcs is either spent warring or planning for war. Dying in battle for a White Orc is the noblest way to go out and dying of old age is not seen in a good light.  

Orc Life

In the uncommon occasions when White Orcs aren't preoccupied with war or some sort of battle - an objectively boring period for them, they spend their time like many other civilizations with each citizen doing their job. The most common profession that allows for a tribe or clan to survive is hunting - many White Orcs volunteer to go and hunt as while they are doing good for their tribe, providing it with food and furs, they are also enjoying their time hunting, exploring and battling against wild beasts and if they're fortunate enough running into enemy hunting parties being able to enjoy the battle that is to ensue. Even the most primitive White Orc tribes have their blacksmiths who provide their tribe with necessary tools for battle, hunting and even mundane tasks. Many White Orc tribes also have their own farms in which they keep some animals in case of rougher times when hunts prove unyielding.  

Relations with others

White Orcs are quite a prideful race with views and values that don't match with most other races. They see themselves as higher beings compared to those they may meet. This means that depending on the clan or tribe, they may enslave enemies of other races to do chores for the white orcs. Often captured folk of other races are used for rituals instead of their own blood as well. White Orcs are almost never seen mixing together with other races, except for the aforementioned case where they enslave other races. White Orcs really do prefer to stay as purely just White Orcs although in times of trouble or in very specific cases they may come together with other clans of other races such as the Goliaths who the White Orcs do respect as they share similar values and even just visually are somewhat similar.
