Orcs

Orcs are a strong, vaguely primal-appearing race that are not too far removed from humans. They are on average taller, burlier, and possess some striking characteristics. Their hair is always black, and their eyes range only from dark brown to hazel. More notably though, their skin tones range from slate grey to a light green. Their ears are pointed, but their most striking feature is their prominent lower jaws, which boast two long, upward-growing tusks. These tusks can reach several inches in length or more, especially in males, and are often a point of pride. 
Orcs do not live as long as humans, and usually do not survive more than 50-60 years. Orcs have less innate magical talent than humans, though individuals with the gift are born every few generations.
Orcs tend to prefer the outdoors and physical experience; most live in nomadic tribes, wandering from place to place with the herds or seasons. They are prone to great emotion over strict logic, which some humans and elves find off-putting. It is thought that orcs originated in Dionisia.
