Orcs

*General
--Appearance : Orcs are an interesting race to look at. Bones little but exaggerated they are small and thin. Often underfed their bodies take on an emancipated look, and they’ve lost all but the essential body parts over the years, leaving them with four fingers instead of five but webbed, hand-shaped, feet. This allows in part for their continued survival, for they can tread through the forest without a sound, toes curling silently around rocks and shrubs. Their noses have been drawn longer over time, and they have a keen sense of smell. Nocturnal animals their eyes are sunken to protect them from sunlight, beady and small. They see in black and white, with exceptional contrast that keeps them incomparable when it comes to noticing moving objects. Arms are longer than normal, hands bulging with muscles and strong heavy shoulders, allowing them to leap through trees like monkeys. It also allows them a safer habitat, up away from the ground.
Orcs’ flesh nearly falls off their bodies, the dank conditions of the mucky forest underlay providing adequate grounds for fetid breeding of flies and any Orcs that are wounded quickly succumb to infection and death. Over a century their hides have become calloused and strong, although still thin. Because Orcs are mostly recessive they do not usually carry their traits on through mixed breeding and those couplings often result in relatively normal looking children, with perhaps one or two strange interests about their appearance. Females are much larger than males, averaging almost six feet while males barely reach five.

--Language : A strange lilting gurgling that has an intense amount of nuances that only an orc tongue, or someone extremely specialized, could produce.

--Powers : Despite their appearance their most impressive power is stealth. They can be completely silent when they want to be, due in part to their natural lack of anything but the barest necessity of clothing. They can slither about in the forest without so much as a sound, their frames exceptionally light and their bodies very dexterous.
