This is an old revision of the document!
This page will discuss the races, listing them in order of commonality within the Seattle shadowrun community. Feel free to make in-character comments about them, posting as if you're responding to a Shadowlands BBS post, or start an article of your own on a specific race.
Orks have their base stats modified by +3 BOD, +2 STR, -1 INT, and -1 CHA with Low-Light (LL) vision. They're more inclined to combat roles.
All right, we all know what the anatomy textbook says about us. Bulkier than a breeder, hairier, tusks, lots of kids. We catch a lot of crap for it from the ignorant, too– tusker trogs that are no better than rats. But I'll tell you what I really see in the damp streets of the Ork Underground:
Hungry people. Eager people, ready to work and seize whatever their life can give them. Born and crammed too many together, a rough lifestyle - and heck, a number of them are born human and turn ork halfway through puberty, screwing them up in the head even further, but having a brother that was once human puts a perspective on things. We're probably the most common metahuman in this line of work too, even moreso than humans.
The turnover rate's high - teenagers eat a lot of quaalz, teenagers with extra testosterone make even smart ones dumb sometimes. Probably explains why we turgan don't completely control this market yet.
We live hard and play hard. What's not to like?
