sooo I finally got around to watching John Carter ... it was ok, well worth the netflix. I liked the books more, but that's a whole 'nother thread and forum.
Where they fit in? 1.) nomadic desert dwellers on any world; 2.) raiders from another prime material plane (or world ... stargate/portal anyone?) 3.) as a non-evil but adversarial species ... they seemed less concerned with the overall good/evil axis.
Given the different hordes that make up the Green Men they could simply be a plague of locusts competing for territory and resources and honor.
anyway, here's my interpretation. I try to keep things grounded and not to powerful, if I want a really powerful beast I'd use a dragon ... for these things, I'd add some/several N/PC class levels.
Green men stand from 12-15 feet tall and their four-armed torsos are lean and muscular with two large up-turned tusks. The green men refer to their clan, tribal, and horde leaders as Jeddak. They are warlike, honorable, and practical. In combat green men prefer to open with thrown weapons then charge in using their pounce ability. The armor they wear doubles as a weapons harness. They are naturally aggressive and duels and challenges are quite common among them. Green men advance by character class. Fighting classes such as barbarian, fighter, ranger and warrior are popular, while some individuals pursue the path of psychic warrior. The green men are superstitious and the few that become adepts or clerics are met with equal amounts of awe, respect and fear.
