Orcs are sort of like elves - but really, only in that they have pointed ears. Orcs' ears, however, are longer than that of an elf's. Orcs have coarse skin and very coarse hair that is sometimes used as weak armour or strong clothing. Their skin-colours differ greatly from elves', and they are also more muscular, and quite a big larger. They also have sharp teeth, as they are carnivorous, but they don't have tusks sticking out of their mouths like the orcs in human folklore - unless, of course, they have a defect.

Types of Orcs
Though orcs don't have Magicks, Aspects, or Elements, there are four orc "races", and each race has a special connection to a certain element. This isn't the same as the Elements that elves and ailurs have - it's not something chosen by birth condition, it's a genetic thing. And instead of a natural propensity to control the element, orcs have a natural connection to the element - it strengthens them and gives them focus.
Ice orcs dwell best in the cold, and typically have blues as their skin-colour. Their eyes can be blue, white, red, green, or brown, and their hair can be white, grey, silver, or black. They have a natural connection to the ice element.
Fire orcs dwell best in the heat, and typically have reds as their skin-colour. Their eyes can be blue, red, purple, black, or gold, and their hair can be black, brown, or blonde. They have a natural connection to the fire element.
Forest orcs dwell best in temperate climates, and typically have greens as their skin-colour. Their eyes can be green, brown, gold, or purple, and their hair can be brown, black, red, or blonde. They have a natural connection to the earth element .
Mountain orcs dwell best in mountain climates, and typically have purples or black as their skin-colour. Their eyes can be purple, blue, red, green, white, yellow, or brown, and their hair can be black, white, silver, brown, or red. They have a natural connection to the air element.
