Orcs are a tight species of hard muscle and strength. They are the strongest Gaeians, capable of reaching sizes of 7 feet on average. Although they are not that known in the common nations such as Ravena, Porthos, West Arkasios, and Sentora, their communities are known to be strong, fierce, loyal, and very intense. Usually inhabiting places such as Sicarius, Caedia, and The Great Beyond, they are a race to make people fascinated towards them.
Orcs, when compared to humans, have several things that make them stand out from them. SUV scientists theorize that orcs may have had a lot of DNA shared by some of the Higantians of Selyria, which explains their great muscle mass and strong bulky features.
Like humans, they easily regenerate their injuries. They also seem to feel pain less compared to humans and elves. Consciebiologists have noted that orc skin is thicker than humans, which again opens the Higantian Orc theory.
However, that certain theory was easily disproved once further research was tested. An autopsy report has noted that orcs have a very similar brain to body size ratio compared to humans, and at the same time, do show great intelligence. Military Historians have noted that the Sicarian strategies during The Great Orc War can easily disprove the ‘dumb orc’ stereotype.
Such large muscle and brain capacity needs energy, which is why Orcs are also known as ‘The hungriest Gaeians’, and would often trade anything for food. Their diet usually consists of meat and bread, but some often choose to be vegetarians, such as The Ashari Orcs of Shiniya.
Although there is a possibility of some orcs being able to access mana, only 4% of orcs are able to practice magic. This is one of the reasons as to why there is the dumb stereotype, as mages are often regarded as very smart.
As expected from Gaeians, they have the Gaeian eye, which is pretty average in its perception, but terrible when it is night time.
Orc ears are similar to elves where they are more elongated compared to humans. However, it is significantly much shorter than any elf, even the Rygviennis elves.
The Koronja orcs are the most common orcs in the world. They often live in Na’gi Koronja, and are the main citizens of the Kingdom of Sicarius. They are known for their reddish-brown skin, and black hair. They are sometimes even known as ‘The most intelligent type’ of orc, but that may be due to cultural biases.
They have a culture of strength and pride, which is the standard for Sicarians.
The Judocopak Orcs are a specific type of orc that is known for their green color. They mostly reside in the northern parts of Selyria, but can also be found in the outskirts of it. Depending on which kingdom, they are either seen as the ‘noble’ ethnicity, or a savage clan of bandits.
The Doshgolobi Orcs are a specific sub-ethnicity of orcs that are found in Na’gi Doshgolob, in The Empire of Porthos. They are stereotyped to be very territorial, but they also have the culture of being honorable. They have Light Green skin and have straight black hair.
Arkasian Natives are from the western part of Sicarius, and often live in the mountains and forests of the Arkasian lands. They are often hired by the Southern Defense Unit of Vontur to act as a proxy guard for goods and services that are delivered on the road from Vontur to West Arkasios. This is to prevent raids from the Calaveras Cartel.
Arkasian Natives are defined by their kindness and cooperation with the people around them, often following a strict code of honor. This is often exploited by the West Arkasian Security Forces by using them for free bodyguard labor, but oftentimes they are paid with food and milk for their people.
They are known for their pale green skin, and having almost no hair - although this is more of a cultural reason
The Nekrota Clan are a group of swampland orcs from the marshlands of Western Selyria, south of Vontur. They are the only known orcs to practice Necromancy, and are very low in numbers. They are known to be very discreet and it is discovered that not all Nekrota members can use magic, and instead have a hierarchy where mages are always at the top.
They are characterized by their gray hair, leaner build, and extremely dark green skin.
Shouren Orcs are found in the mountains of Jonxian Mountains which is on the eastern part of Xin’Jang. They are often warrior monks who follow a modified code of Bushido, taken from the samurai of Kononagari. This makes them a target of harassment and genocide. Luckily, they seemed to survive, and often found themselves fleeing to Kononagari for safety. This is often met with discrimination, which made some of them move to Selyria, where most of their members either follow their people’s traditions even through the journey, or abandon it to assimilate to the culture more.
If you wish to be this orc, you have 3 places where you can freely practice your bushido practices of meditation and prayer every dawn and dusk.
The Kingdom of Karthus
Kitsumachi, Porthos
The Kingdom of Ravena
This does not mean that you cannot practice your traditions in other nations, but be ready for discrimination whenever you do it outside of those places. Avoid doing these in Sentora as they are very discriminatory.
Caedi orcs are found in The Kingdom of Caedia. They are closely assimilated to humans and are often linked with the origins of Sicarian Koronja Orcs. They are known to be very muscular and stocky, and are the tiniest out of all the orc clans. They often have red hair similar to the Esresi humans. Some even mistake them for humans due to their height, but most can easily distinguish them due to their ears, tusks, and muscular build.
South Ibernian orcs are known as the prime origin of all orcs in the world. Their black or dark curly hair, and their brown skin leads consciebiologists to conclude their strong connection to all of the Gaeians. They are often found in the eastern Ibernian kingdoms, but most are found in the desert outpost to The Great Beyond. Not much is known about them, as South Ibernian Immigrants tend to not have any artifacts with them, and often do not wish to talk about their experience living near The Great Beyond.
