Orc

Orcs are bullies by nature. Their culture operates on the idea that nothing is yours unless you can defend it, and everything is yours if you can take it. Orc men abuse orc women. Both abuse chidlren and elders. All of the above abuse anybody they can. Orcs seem to have a natural belief that work is the responsibility of the person who is unable to shove it onto somebody else.

Civilized orcs are much different. Most are the result of outcasts from orc tribes. Victims of injuries that didn't heal fast enough, or not strong enough to hold their place. Some simply just not fitting in. Many orcs in such events seek out civilization, in fact it was the orcs who originally proposed the alliances that lead to the modern Unified Republic of Raegor. Relatively few orcs every truly embrace good, though in the Republic it is more common. Orcs who keep their views on taking anything they want rarely last long in civilization, and the Republic prisons are full of them for this reason.

Even still, most are bullies to some degree or another. Loud, blustering, and quick to strike out against their problems, many take the role of warriors or other jobs that let them make use of their strength. Bar fights in the republic always have an orc or three, usually one being the start of it. But orcs that learn to respect the power of their compatriots can become strong and unwavering allies, though they will usually put their own skin first.
