Physical Description: Orcs are tall humanoids who possess tusks, flat faces, and skin colors ranging from brown to a light green. They often have incredible muscles, and eyes which burn like coals on an open fire.
Associated Class: Orcs will engage in any class which gets them into the thick of combat faster. Soldiers, Steam Knights, and Crusaders are all popular picks for Orcs.
Associated Religions: Worshipping deities of war, blood, and malice – Orcs see their merciless hunt for war as a noble act. Constantly pursuing ways to strengthen themselves, even if this means hurting others in the process.
History: Being a native to Morta IV, Orcs came originally from Borz’a Doran. In ancient Orcish legends they were said to be molded from the very sand which they were born from, the sand eventually being formed into the physical bodies Orcs are known for. Across Borz’a Doran, wars raged between different Orc chieftains to constantly enhance the strength of one another. Orc chiefs could either submit mid-battle and have their clan absorbed into the stronger clan, or die with their head held high. Both were seen as noble in the eyes of the Orc chiefs of old.
In Morta IV: Long past the days of warring chieftains on the barren deserts of Borz’a Doran, Orcs discovered Dimensional Gates later than most races, and through exploration they found other planets to inhabit and settle on. These planets are, most of the time, seen as “back-water” and thus easy prey for Orcs to set up chieftainships they were once known for. This is, however, a stereotype as modern Orcs see it as their duty to empower all who will follow their banner, not just Orcs. Because of this; they’ll set up mercenary groups, gangs, and militaries just to train those in the art of combat.
This approach to training non-Orcs in the way of combat comes from the ideology that thinking like an Orc is enough to make one “Orcish enough” in the eyes of a true greenskin. An Elf has as much of a chance as a Human in terms of being considered Orcs, so long as both act like an Orc and think like an Orc. They are thus “honorary Orcs”, not a true greenskin because their species isn’t Orc. Only their mind.
