Orc

The Orcs are fearless, powerful, and relentless, and there is no race in the world more ambitious. Description   Orcs’ skin have colors that are somewhat reptilian, ranging from acid greens to mottled browns. It is thick and leathery and provides them a modicum of protection from bruises and blunt attacks. Their eyes have slitted pupils that open horizontally, and their bottom canine teeth are elongated, forming something similar to tusks that protrude above the upper lip. Males are extremely sturdy and muscular, growing to about seven feet and gaining an average of 280 pounds, and the females are slightly smaller at about six-and-a-half feet with an average weight of 200 pounds. Society   Orc culture demands that one must earn respect through a show of physical strength or endurance or by proving his worth as a leader, and they expect the same from individuals of any race. If one wants an Orc’s respect, he must earn it. Until then, he is just another foot soldier to be either ordered or trampled. However, once one has earned the respect of the Orcs, he has it forever, or until he acts dishonorably. Orcs do not tolerate dishonor any more than an Elf would tolerate the burning of a forest.
