Orc

Orcs are a race of sentient bipeds native to the planet Daerraphere. By 500 AGE, Orcs (alongside the other Daerraphere races) had become an established spacefaring species, and around 2000 AGE, they begun their Era of Paragon.

Anatomy and Physiology
Orcs are tall, masculine mammals with thick skin and large tusks protruding from their bottom set of teeth. With red blood and a strange hormone that makes their skin shades of green, purple, or gray, Orcs are by far one of the strongest humanoid races on Daerraphere. Their skulls are less evolved than other races on Daerraphere, though they do have much stronger bones. Orcs eyes have evolved to have wider cornea, allowing them to see up to 30 feet in the dark.

Population
Orcs breed often to sustain a large "clan", and have even bred with other races such as humans and elves, creating Half-Orcs.

Intelligence
Orcs are not very intelligent by nature. Where Half-Orcs have more potential in advanced subjects, Orcs' minds are more equipped to primal lifestyle. However, many Orcs have learned to operate advanced machinery, including starships of various kinds, proving that not all Orcs fit the stereotype.

Subspecies
There are two subspecies of Orc; Orcash (Common Orcs) and Orcaan (Scavenger Orc).
 * Orcash, also named Common Orcs, were the first of their kind. With a much higher metabolism and a more muscle mass than the Orcaan, Orcash make up around 74% of the Orc population.
 * Orcaan, also named Scavenger Orcs, evolved from Orcash that colonized the gas planets of Avvis and Lulea. With thick skin that is resistant to some corrosive materials, they have a circulatory system that is more equipped to areas with limited oxygen, meaning they can survive without a mask in planets with Type 2 atmospheres. Orcaan make up around 26% of the Orc population.

Trivia

 * Orcs are often demonized, as before the Daerraphere Space Age they were a strictly evil race, raiding and pillaging towns as a lifestyle. While this stigma still exists, more Orcs have become less primitive and vile with the Space Age.
