Physical Apperance
Orcs stand between 6 and 7ft tal and usually weigh between 180 and 250lbs. An orcs greenish pigmentation, sloping forhead, jutting jaw, prominent teeth and course body hair make his lineage plain for all to see.
Orcs like scars. They regard battle scars as tokens of pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Orcs mature a little faster than humans and age noticeably faster. They reach adulthood at age 14, and few live past 75 years.
Personality
Orcs tend to be short-tempered and sullen. They would rather act than ponder and fight than argue. Those who are successful, however, love simple pleasures such as feasting, drinking, boasting, singing, wrestling, drumming, and wild dancing. Refined enjoyments such as poetry, courtly dancing, and philosophy are lost on them. At the right sort of party, an orc is an asset. At the duchess' grand ball, he's a liability.
