[Ooc]Suggestions And Feedback For The Orcs!(Yolo Everyone Else Is Doing It)

That's really cool. I think with ideas like that, you'll do really well in orc rp.

Thanks Catarrh :D I really hope so. Even though I just about butchered "The Blah" today in RP (Which I didn't even know was possible) I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it ^^

Solid ideas.

((I know I've been talking a lot on this post, but something occurred to me. I saw someone say something interesting recently about goblins. The person noted that goblins are too "adorable." Now, I'm sure this person was being a little on the tongue-in-cheek side; however, it was a good point. Goblins have become a bit too cute, and orcs in general need to stop acting like imbeciles. I don't have anything against humor, but maybe it's getting a little out of hand. I think it could be helpful to bring in a more sinister feel to the goblins, and more of a primitive wisdom to the orcs. Of course, I'm not trying to say all orcs need to be somber and stone-faced 24/7, but orcs aren't supposed to be a race of morons. Obviously, orc society is a warrior culture, so most orcs lack a formal education; but, that doesn't make them mentally handicapped. People really don't take the orcs very seriously anymore, and I think it's because orcs have too much of a tendency to play the fool.))

I have to raise my hand for playing the fool in RP situations XD

Just need to be more relevant in rp.

Also, make an extensive "How to rp as an orc" guide.

I was having an interesting talk on skype, and it got me thinking about how hard it is to set goals for an orc character sometimes. I think it can feel as though the only choices for orc rp are warrior, shaman, or pregnant feorc. Of course, I'm NOT saying we should develop peoples characters for them, but lots of new orcs tend to ask what there is to do around Gronkkston. I usually don't know what to tell them. So, I think that's another thing hurting the orcs. People make one, but then they don't know what to do with it. I know I'm posting a lot on this thread, but it's an interesting topic lol.

I just had to say that I'm above stereotypes and did not RP a pregnant fe-Orc. :P

Something I feel that would really bring the orcs back to their roots is their religious beliefs and returning to the way of living that was in Aegis. The orcs of Aegis knew the lore and the back story of the birth of the creator's four sons. I really don't see many people remembering these old ways and the things that shaped their races. There is so much cultural diversity between the races when viewed from the religious beliefs of the creation. The orcs were once a proud and intelligent people. Not the ignorant beasts that I see so much on the server. The lore use to read that it was only Krug who was not taken in by Iblees and his plans. And it was also Krug who stood toe to toe with Iblees. I mean go back to that and you'll get such a powerful culture. A people who disdain the other races for their lack of common sense and their ability to stand where many others can't. This is what has shaped my respect for the memorable orcs. The ones who unified the orcs.

 

What follows is the Ancient History, found here. http://wiki.lordofthecraft.net/The+Ancient+History

 

At this time, Malin, Urguan, Krug and Horen were not far apart in looks. Horen and Krug had darker hair than the other two and Krug was a bit larger in build. Malin had blonde hair and Urguan had red. They were all close companions, friends and had much love for each other and each others people.

Urguan travelled into the deep underground of the earth, naming the beautiful ores and gems, sharing it with his brethren. Krug travelled the harsh deserts, testing his stamina and strength against the environment of Aegis, and Horen began building the first squalid huts and villages in the valleys. The people lived for hundreds of years, in harmony and peace. Until the day where one of the great Daemons, great worshipers and squalid protectors of the Void, kin spirits to the Aengul, defected. Iblees, who was once the greatest of all of Gods worshippers was cast down into the mortal world, he was about to destroy the tranquility of Aegis forever. He came in the shape of a man. A gentle being who loved things delicate, he was quickly befriend by Malin, Urguan and Horen. Krug had a great distrust of him but after many years of being convinced by his brothers, he finally accepted his company.

Little did Iblees know that this was all part of the Great God's plan to test the descendants of Man and Woman. Iblees wanted to destroy everything that God had designed and created, still not in a powerful physical form he began sowing seeds of evil in the minds of the Descendants. Prying on their needs and lusts.

To Malin, lover of nature, he promised him many children. He promised him that their laughter would resonate across their forest homes and that he would be content. Malin did not want anything more in this world than a bountiful amount of young to occupy the barren forests.

To Urguan, he promised infinite wealth of Gems and Ores, colours and crystals he could never imagine. To this, Urguans greed failed him.

Horen, was anxious he would not live long enough to see his city completed and his lands increased. He needed more time, and Iblees struck the cord and promised immortality.

Krug was the last to be tricked, Iblees tempted him with wealth, with food, with power. None interested Krug. Iblees was furious, he then challenged Krug in open combat in fury.

The whole world witnessed Ibleeses transformation into a hideous beast of the void. His skin turned into scales, fangs erupted and dark horns exploded from his head. He grew large wings and began to breath terrible fire. All stood in shock and horror. The beast terrified all inhabitants of Aegis, animals fled and the Sons of the Descendants were too weak of blood to stand infront of such evil fury. Only Malin, Urguan, Horen and Krug stood infront of the terror.

In Ibleeses right hand, a sword wrought in flame. Krug, naked and unarmed charged at The Daemon, throwing himself against the scalding scales of Iblees. He screamed in agony as his skin burned and decayed, becoming green and molten. Iblees was knocked off his feet, for the last time. He stood up, heaving in rage and fury, flames exploded from the pores of his skin, he roared in anger and where he struck his sword the land collapsed and the ground erupted. And Lo, great was the Valour of Urguan and the Strength of Krug as they fought the beast. Powerful were the arms that carried Krugs Axe and strong was Horens heart as they fought in open combat upon the plains of Aegis. Malins sword was fast and swift, smiting Iblees upon his breast and sides.

For thirty years The Descendants fought Iblees, the world became a war torn mess. The dead were defiled, summoned from their graves to follow Ibleeses mastery. The more mortal descendants died, the greater Ibleeses armys grew. It was a sad chapter in the World of Aegis, the brothers threw up their hands to God in prayer and in agony. Their creations destroyed, their children massacred. Woe to the Sons of Man and Woman. Krug grew bitter, his resentment of his brothers increased for befriending such a beast. Urguan grew greedy, he fought valourously but began to hide his treasures underground. Malin feared for the lives of his children and did not leave his forest sanctuary. Horen was too ambitious, too weak of a leader, many of his people fought for Iblees and many of them died of recklessness. It seemed the world was destined for ruin. Iblees grew in strength and The Descendants weakened. Until one day.
