Part of this included changing everybody else to kekihj. Thanks to the assistance of the dragons they failed. (And the dragons were being so helpful too.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )But, sometimes the virus did cause changes. In one case a group of humans came down with... well, not true lycanthropy (though a different group did), but lupine DNA did get incorporated into their genome. Thus was born the orc.Which is not how the Unicorn Orc came to be. That story is long, involved, and concerns great tragedies and triumph, plus a touch of redepmtion and sacrifice. To make a long story short, the Unicorns and their allies were changed into Ki orcs and placed on the world of Ki to live out their lives. Since their original fate was utter destruction, you can think of orc-dom as being a sort of probation.The Unicorn Orcs themselves can be thought of as a combination of Japanese, Mongol, and Lakota. With a touch of wolf.Unicorn Orc life is centered around the pack. The pack being led by an alpha pair and lower ranking members. In hard times only the alpha pair can breed, but in better times the lower ranking pairs can have children as well. Children are raised communally.Above the pack is the band. The band consists of one or more packs led by a popular leader. Most often a pack leader in his own right, though sometimes a band leader has been a lone orc. One or more bands make up a tribe, one or more tribes make up a nation, and the five nations make up the confederacy known as the Unicorn Orcs. Ki's other orc groups are not as organized as this. Most live as separate packs. A few have begun to organize into bands, and one group has become a tribe. This last under the leadership of a Hare Orc (one of the Unicorn Orc nations) exiled from Nation, Tribe, Band, and Pack.Ki's orcs have a definite tendency to Lawful Evil if using a strict alignment scheme. If using alignment more as a guide to behavior, they are Lawful Evil at first glance, though on closer acquaintence their better qualities do come forth.Both genders hunt and wage war. Among the Unicorn Orcs it's the males who care for the herds, while the females handle business matters. Kids are cared for and tutored by everyone. Matters religious and arcane are open to anyone who hears the call.And that's enough on that subject. If it gave you ideas, good.</blockquote>
