Hey never mock a hot ork chic. I may be an elf, but I'm no snob. And I've dated a few nova hot ork-girls in my time.

Well, maybe, but I happen to be female, myself, and I don't exactly swing that way.  

[Gabriel]

LOL, can you imagine the impact on this board full of nerds if you DID?

Gabriel

[AJStarhiker]

Considering what some of the guys I know are like, yeah.

[Ruski]

I don't know... with the cost of plastic surgery so low, I'd imagine that most of the 'nova hot orc chicas' that you 'worked' with, were actually probibly just humans, who opted for some reconstructive work, to be 'in fashion'

[AJStarhiker]

...huh?

[Gabriel]

Yeah, AJ, I'm kind of wondering what the hell he means too.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

the many flocks of humans are trying to modify themselves to look more 'awakened', orc and troll-like.

so, that ork joy girl you picked up, could just be a human with some fang implants.

[AJStarhiker]

ah aha.

[Retread]

Yeah, or that could be a real Ork with the Good-Looking and Knows It edge...

[AJStarhiker]

now that would be interesting.  hmm, just thought of something: An orc social adept?

[Retread]

Well, it's not like anyone ever uses the Charisma vs. Racism check anyway...

Well, chummer, I'm not in the habit of picking up joygirls. Being an elf does have one or two advantages, you know. Getting laid fairly often is one of them. And beieve me, if whe were stock-human, I would be able to tell you.

As for the Orc social adept thing, why not? Orcs are so prevelent in certain sprawls, including Seattle, that they are a very common sight. They might have a bad rep as a metatype, but on an indevidual basis, they have just as much diversity as any of us.

Orks are probably the least played character type though, which is kinda bothersome.

[Gabriel]

Well, being from the south, I have heard the analogy that "orcs are the new n***ers." Now, I hate hearing it put that way, but the way the literature is written for SR shows that Orcs are on the lowest social/economic class in almost every area they settle. At least in North America. Check out SOTA '64 and read the section on Orzet, the orc language and you will see what I mean. The entire artical had a Boyz in the Hood feel to it with parallells being drawn between modern day inner city black populations and SR-era Orc populations.

I assume that between that and the fact that orcs are bigger/tougher than humans, but are smaller/weaker than trolls, people simply skip over then to get to trolls. The same goes for dwarves. Who wants resistance to pathogens when they can get a lifespan of "yes" and an inteligence boost???

Gabriel

[Ruski]

well, for myself, I like playing orcs for the 'down and out' PC types.

Sparkey, my car thief (who I played for a large number of runs) was an orc... and I've had more than my fair share of dwarf mechanics / riggers. (they just seem to be built for eachother)

currently I'm plyaing a troll with a maxed out intelegence.
*shrug* go figure.
