demonicXporkchop 0 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hey, as you can tell, im interested in playing LOTC. i want to apply as an orc character, except i have a few issues. 1) i can't seem to find too much lore that can help me with my character, if possible could someone link me any material that could be helpful with making an orc character? 2) kind of the same problem as 1, i can't find any lore on the recent history of the past 30 years or so, could someone link me that too? 3) i am thinking of playing a whitewash orc, except, once again, i can't find too much information on whitewashes either, and im not sure what RPing a whitewash would be like. 4) i need an orc skin, but i found a paradox in project wandering skin's application. they say you need to link your app, but the app only has a link once it's submitted, and the app requires you to have your skin beforehand, so basically, you can't post the application without the skin, but you cant get the skin without posting the app either. can someone please help me out with what to do? thanks for your time and patience, and if i get in, i look forward to playing with you all :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lvke 1000 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Should be in the helpful links area of the application page, within the spoiler just above the app, or somewhere close. There are a few base events, but you should find these on the forums with relative ease. Please, do not play whitewash orcs. It is heavily frowned upon both ICly and OOCly by the orcish community. Play as a proper, lore abiding orc. Join a clan, which can be done in game. I would be glad to help you out via PMs. If you have not made your application yet, and are requesting a skin for your application, merely state so on the application for the skin. Hope this has a been a help, and good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George of House Glover 372 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The first thing to remember when playing an Orc is that you will have been raised in a society that glorifies violence and murder. During your childhood everyone you will have had contact with kills for pleasure and causes suffering because its fun. If you play a whitewash character then you may not have been raised like this. Your inborn bloodlust will be uncontrollable, everytime you see a non-Orc you will immediately imagine killing it, you will then be overcome with a desire to kill them, similar to a drug addiction, it is very hard to resist. The desire comes from bloodlust, there is no way to supress it or cure it. There is a natural hatred of Orcs from other races, this is one reason Orc form such close bond with each other, as a whitewash, you would have been hated by everyone. Orcs will have hunted you your entire life, other races will despise you for being an Orc, it is unlikely that anyone will have shown you the slightest bit of kindness in your entire life. Consider this when thinking about how your character reacts to others, especially when offering help. As for history I will add some links shortly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for history I will add some links shortly ok cheers :) also, a couple more questions if you have the time: if i was to make a whitewash app, would i have to already have a normal orc app, or can i go straight to whiteash? (i havent beenaccepted yet XD) and, do you have any particularly creative reasons/ excuses that i could use to explain my whitewash status? not an entire backstory, but just some central ideas to fool around with :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lιoɴ 248 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Whether or not you apply or become a whitewash it would be heavily frowned upon. Your character would be hunted down all the time, it wouldn't be fun. But if you really want to be whitewash, you can. Any kind of reason. Think of reasons you would be 'disconnected' to your family/community or friends. Your character could have been abused as a cub, or he doesn't agree with the community's decisions on topics/wars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is very uncommon and lore breaking, there is no standard reason for an Orc to turn whitewash, the usual one is severe brain damage as a result of birth deficiency or from an injury which damaged the area that deals with rational decision making. As turning whitewash requires betraying Krug it is impossible for a sane Orc to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonicXporkchop 0 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 to what scale will i be hunted down? and if i was to flee to another race's territory and gain haven, would i still be as vulnerable? and would i be able to pick a side in any battles/skirmishes?

Sneaky 189 Share Posted August 8, 2013 to what scale will i be hunted down? and if i was to flee to another race's territory and gain haven, would i still be as vulnerable? and would i be able to pick a side in any battles/skirmishes? If the Orcs find out Icly then you will be hunted down no matter where you go. And I don't think the orcs would allow you to fight for them if you are whitewash. My advice I thought being a whitewash would be fun it really wasn't because I constantly got killed, just make a regular non-whitewash orc because it really is the best way to go.

Roguealicious 34 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I've been following this thread, and although I cant offer much insight, I was wondering what a whitewash orc actually is? At first I thought it was a subrace but I cant find anything on the wiki about whitewash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeleaf 1022 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'll try my hand at this. From my understanding [which may be horribly wrong], a whitewash orc is one that either is half orc half X, or a pure blood that betrays Krug in essence. It isn't quite a subrace, more as it is a lifestyle choice. Also, you may see others trying to scare you out of the option, simply because the orcs would love more players, and being a whitewash would take away from it. It's really all your choice, and I've seen plenty of players successfully play white-washes.If you have any more questions, a good source of info on white-washes I find would be from Kizumachan, also known as Ritoru on the forums. If she isn't about, then Stephensj Is also a pretty good source ^-^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonicXporkchop 0 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 ok so maybe a whitewash wouldnn't be the best idea after all XD but either way, can someone link me any helpful lore they may have of recent orcish history and orcish culture? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mingpow321 285 Share Posted August 9, 2013 -Snip- False, we're trying to explain to him that it's not lore-abiding to play a whitewash orc. The fact that they exist is simply an unfortunate side-effect of the "I'm a special snowflake" syndrome ninety percent of the time. There are very few orcs who have managed to properly portray the level of misery that a whitewash would live in. They're not happy, they're not going to be happy, they're not going to turn into big green humans with normal lives. A whitewash, to any proper orc, is the lowest of the low. They're the dirt we walk upon, the dishonorable scum that an orc spends his time attempting to eradicate from the world. They are hunted and they are put down. To the poster. If you want to play a whitewash, then by all means go ahead. But just know that the orcish playerbase would much prefer that you simply join us. In fact, we'd love it if you joined us! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
