Orc

Orcs are humanoids of large stature, and have a varied ancestry and culture.

Physical Traits

Anatomy

Orcs are, on average, somewhere from 6 to 7 feet in height and usually weighed around 70 to 100 kilograms, although this can greatly differ depending on their specific ancestry. Most orcs had grayish skin, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, a sloping forehead and coarse body hair. Orcs as such appeared bestial to others, though amongst orcs physical apearances are as diverse due to their varied ancestries. Orcish hair was most often black, though it grayed very quickly with age.

Biology and Aging

Orcs have the unique ability to interbreed with many other peoples, which is not possible for most others. Orcish children inherit traits from their orcish and non-orcish parents. This causes orcs to have varied bodytypes and even display magical abilities from their non-orcish bloodline. Such traits are usually directly inherited from their parents. The child from an orcish and non-orcish union will always be born as an orc despite the amount of other ancestries in their bloodline, such is the strength of orcish blood. The lifespan of an orc is completely dependent on their bloodline. Orcs with elven blood live much longer than those with human blood.

Habitat

Orcs are some of the most addaptable people in the World, and are able to live comfortably in almost any environment. Both in crowded cities and lone Wylderness are you able to find orcs living and thriving.

Diet

Orcs are omnivorous, but prefer heavier foods, such as meat and grains.

Sapient Traits

History

Orcs have existed on Dunia since the Golden Age of Plenty, when they immigrated from an outside world. Early Orcs lived a nomadic lifestyle, but settled down in cities and towns during the Age of the Silver Kingdoms. The orcish ability to reproduce with almost any other people has caused their population to increase drasticly since then, and they are now as ubiquitous as humans. Almost every location on Duina has orcs living these.

Manerisms

Orcs are straight forward and to the point. This is often confused by other peoples for being dumbwitted or slow, but that is simply not true. Orcish people have more difficulty with abstract thinking compared to others and prefer direct action over deliberation. An orc would often much rather do something about a problem than carefully think that problem over.
The manerisms of orcs are tied to their ancestory and depend on who their parents are. Elvish orcs tend to be more deliberate than their orcish bretheren, and dwarvish orcs are often more stuborn.

Values and Traits

Orcs are direct people, with a tendancy for decicive action. They have the following traits:

• Speaks plain and direct.
• Practical and decicive.
• One trait of their non-orcish ancestry

Naming Conventions

Dependent on culture. Orcish is an brusk sounding language with no more than three syllables per word, and orcish names often sound like a chalenging shout to others.

Beauty/Gender Ideals

Orcs apear larger and more muscular than most other peoples, so they tend to accent their own physique as a sign of beauty. Orcs have course hair, and often take great care with their haircuts.

Relationship Ideals

Orcish people tend to have large family structures. Kin means everything to an orc, and since family can include almost anyone, orcish families are often quite inclusive.
