Orc
He pulls the arrow free of his stomach, the smell of his own blood inciting his wrath. Smashing his maul against the ground, he roars, sprinting toward his enemies. The horde of goblinoids at his back feel his rage, and the thundering sound of their charge is reflecting on the fearful faces of his foes. He does not feel the arrows pelting him as he crashes into their front line.
He is an orc. A barbaric warrior of rage and instinct. Civilized people scoff at his appearance or deride his customs, but when he marches to war, they quake. He has known the harder life, the struggle to survive in a world that hates him, but he is unbowed. He is part of a proud people, separate from humanity, with its own traditions that do not need their approval or permission.
