Orcs
The first orc was a strong woman. She stood tall and fierce, and her eyes were like stone. She saw that the world was harsh and so she gathered herself and her family tight, and gathered weapons to defend herself. But others saw her with weapons and assumed that she was moving to attack, so they drove her and her family out. She left with her weapons and a child and wandered to find a place where they would not begrudge her protecting herself.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Orcs are taller than humans, and tend to have grey, brown and green skin. Their lower canines grow into tusks. They are usually thick and muscular.
Genetics and Reproduction
Orcs grow quickly as young, and are mature around the age 12. Many are matrilineal, with the women taking 1 to 3 husbands.
Ecology and Habitats
Orcs are scattered, but the largest concentration live in the forest of Haidar.
Civilization and Culture
Beauty Ideals
The size of a woman's tusks and the strength of her arm are the most important things for an orc to look for.
A man should have long hair, and his skintone should be even or interestingly patterned. Blotchy is the sign of bad breeding.
Common Dress Code
Most orcs are fairly modest, ensuring that their ears are always covered with beaded coverings. Since most men prefer to show off their well groomed hair, this usually involves a band around their heads. Beyond that, covering the lower half of the body from the waist to the knee is considered crucial, but all other parts of the body are not immodest to let free.
Common Taboos
Showing ears.
