That was a very weak joke, but here is the real news, a new race called the
Ogrin. It can
called the race between the ork and troll.
DISCOVERY: This race was discovered on May 7, 2052, When a doctor trying to
better
understand the Metagenes notice some extremely large orks and trolls with no
dermal
plating containing a new DNA strand.
HISTORY: Due to the short period of time. There isn,t much know about them, but
it is
believed that these Homo Sapien Mutabilis, or Orgins as they have been called
on the
street, exsited since the appearence of the orks and trolls. There are may
theories of how
these sentientals came about. The two most recongized ones are the Garrett
Theory and
Mar Theory. The Garrett Theory assumes these creatures were orks that were
goblinzing
into trolls, but stop goblinzing at some certain point. The Mar Theory said the
same thing,
but also believes it did occur to other sentiental beings, not just orks.
IDENIFICATION: Ogrins averge 2.7 meters and weight 104 kilograms. Skin varies
from
dull blackish-brown to dead yellow, some are sickly violet, and useally remains
unchanged
after goblinization. Mutabilis body proportions are similar to ingentis, arm
and leg ratio
being slightly smaller than the ingentis. Ogrins are heavy built. Body hair is
usually
well-developed, but sometimes maybe completely absent. Head hair is usually
more
prominent that amoung the sapiens ethnic group from which the individual
mutabilias was
derived. The nose tends to be broad, the ears show definite points and are
sometimes
elongated as well, and are covered with small dermal plated bumps, but not
enough to
offer any form of protection. The Ogrin skull has 32 teeth, with enlarged lower
canies.
Ogrins women have two mammae.
HABITAT: Usually in roofed buildings. Some live wilderness caverns and
converted
structures such as bridges. A few prefer areas shunned by humans.
HABITS: Ogrins are active during all hours. They are omnivorious. Populations
usually
form varying sizes of groups. The life span so far is believed to be 75 years.
The breeding
season is unrestricted. Gestation is 266.5 days.
YOUNG: Usually one. Birth weight as a percentage is 3.7. Suckling time is more
that nine
months.
COMMENTARY: The higher proportion of rod over cone structure in the Ogrin's eyes
allows enhaced low-light vision. Goblization from sapiens to mutabilias
adversely affects
an individuals's mental condition's , often resulting in phychosis and aberrant
behavioral
patterns. Individuals born as mutabilias do not experience this trauma and may
socialized
normally.
RACIAL MODIFIERS: +4 Body, -1 Quickness, +3 Strength, -2 Charisma, -1 Willpower;
+1
Reach for Armed/Unarmed Combat, Low-Light Eyes; +1 on severity roll for allergic
reactions.
