PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
The Mudblood orc is slender compared to others of its kin. (Figure height as per ST, deduct 20 lbs.)
Its body is covered in diamond splotches of black fading into silver, much like a rattler snake. It's throat is colored with a light yellow that runs onto its chest ending at the navel. The Mudblood have a fine sheen of scales.
SPECIAL: Mudblood orcs receive as +2 camoflouge check in any terrain that is mostly brown, as per mud, sand, heavily forested areas, etc. GM's discretion.
Tribal Description:
The Mudblood tribe is different from most, as its average intelligence is higher than most of its orcish kin. The Mudbloods live in small groups, recognizing one another by their skin tone. The Mudbloods have the distinction of being the only orcish tribe that does not attack itself - when a tribe becomes too large, the group breaks off into a separatist, yet cooperative, society.
TRIBAL CUSTOM:
The Mudblood hold that they are the creation of clay - the clay thrown aside after the creation of man. From that stuff of creation, they were born, forever to be scorned and hated by their fellow sentients for their lizardlike visage. Their greatest grievance is that The Architect (a God) has never acknowledged their existence or his part in their existence.
Other Mudblood hold that they were once human - and that they were turned into their current state due to the displeasure of The Architect (A god). The Mudblood say that their ancestors were the ones to first create the Jenisian Marionettes - or the Puppets. For this, they were punished - and their line has forever since been hated by man.
TATTOO CEREMONY:
The Mudblood have their own tattoing ceremony. The Eldest of the tribe (The Chief, usually) opens his wrist and pours blood into a bowl of pigmented clay, mixing the two together. When the young Brave enters adulthood (Age 14) s/he is tattooed with three red wavy lines to mark his/her extension into adulthood.
In this way, the Blood of the Elders runs through them, and the Blood holds wisdom.
ENVIRONMENT: The Mudblood orcs are native to the country of Jenin.
