Minorcs!
Minorcs
are the result of forced interracial breeding between Orcs and Minotaurs.
For nearly two centuries now the dominant orcish clans have invaded the smaller
minotaur clans, raping young female minotaurs and slaughtering all others
in a wake of ruthless insanity. Now that several generations have passed of
constant warring between the two cultures, the minorc race have slowly become
recognized individuals of Vastonia. Most races view them with uncertainty
while even a minorc is not sure of their place amongst the universe. They
are generally shunned by minotaurs and revered by orcs, although most minorcs
would rather have a minotaur rip their limbs off one by one, than be seen
fighting on the side of an orc.
The
once overwhelming orcish clans have since been reduced vastly in number, while
the minotaur league has almost quadrupled in size. This leaves the minorcs
smack dap n' the middle, not having either mass numbers to side with or organized
communities to prosper in. Some wander Vastonia as nomads of the east, siding
with whomever entrusts them as equals or at least bribe them for their services.
Others live in small secluded settlements, far from the threat of war, but
close enough to seek assistance in times of need.
Minorcs
are generally a peaceful race, but when provoked they can quickly become one
of the most savage, chaotic individuals to enter combat. They have the cunning
and intense minds of an orc and the raw power and combative ability of a minotaur,
thus resulting in an almost perfect war machine. Minorcs are distend to become
one of Vastonia's most common races.
Physical
Features
Minorcs
look just like they sound, a crossbreed of Minotaurs and Orcs. They have large
humanoid bodies, having large orc-like heads, with short horns like that of
minotaurs. They typically have dark green skin, with small patches of fur
on their thighs, back and feet. Their hair is usually long and matted, being
brown, black or sometimes dark gray. They have protruding tusk-like teeth
which extend only from their lower jaws. Their eyes range in color from black
to green or some of the time being white (2% chance). They stand between 5'
to 6' tall on average and weigh between 250lbs to 350lbs. Minorcs wear much
the same styles of clothing as that of their Cousin-kin the orcs, generally
consisting of loin cloths, furred armor, woven slacks or simple string cloths.
Minorcs are a very stalky, robust race. They are almost always muscular and
possess great upper body strength. Their frames rival even the most impressive
minotaurs but lack the sheer toughness and overall size there of. Minorcs
generally live to be around 150 years of age.
