[QUOTE="InVinoVeritas, post: 4802151, member: 41485"] I've played two Shadowrun orks, and greatly enjoyed both. "Jack," aka "Samurai Jack" long before the famous cartoon character, was a heavily cybered ork street samurai who was careful and meditative--usually. He wasn't a hulked-out monster, but a disciplined, diligent killing machine. He had a tendency to always speak koans about every situation. And when he got into the zone, the body counts were high, and he wouldn't flinch. Oddly, he was usually the calmest voice of reason of the party, but let's face it, no one listens to the street sam with the funny accent. My second character was Orson Pitts, M.D. He worked for DocWagon until he took up the shadows, but then ran a third-rate no-questions-asked similar service called PittsWagon. He was also a Bear Shaman. He often compained about how an ork had to give up half his life just to receive a medical degree. He also had plenty of gory ER stories and jokes for every occasion. In both cases, the ork worked great--more gruff than the typical character, but still fitting in the seat just fine without all the troll issues. [/QUOTE]
