Forgive the double-post.

Lixie, the Greenskins don't have a real gender. They grow from mushrooms and reproduce through fungis. There's no V or P. Just grow and fight. There's females for all the other races, if you absolutely need to be a girl character.

I made an account just to comment here.

First off, local folklore and myths were the very first figures for a Fantasy setting. Tolkien took the stories of the early Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and all the other creatures, gave them their names, and created all of Middle Earth.

Tolkien inspired many others to create their own Fantasy worlds, which is what DnD and Warhammer stemmed from. Now, it's a large and mainstream genre.

Orcs in WarCraft are unique in that they're shamanistic good guys who love the earth, but also love a good and honorable fight.

Orcs in Warhammer are evolved from fungus; when one dies, they spread spores. They love to fight and break things, even amongst themselves. They're also INCREDIBLY ignorant and stupid, which adds so much to them. For them, painting something red makes it go faster. How? It just does! They can break physics because they're so stupid. Heck, they've got Orc-a-pults to fling themselves over castle walls. While they're badasses, they're also very humorous. They don't even know how armor works. They just slap together sheets of metal and it'll deflect bullets.

The stereotype for an Orc is that they just run around killing everything and don't care for anything but killing. Both WarCraft and Warhammer Orcs are very different from that.
