Character by
Orla is a traveling High Orc who is currently adventuring as a mercenary for hire. She is known as Orla of the Rough Rock Mountain.
Appearance
Orla is a rather tall High Orc, having boar-like ears and a tail, with a rather toned body and tanned skin. With violet eyes (with one being normally covered by a lock of her hair), and wild blonde hair that reaches to her waist, she is normally considered a beauty (even more so when she decides to “clean up” and make herself more presentable). She is normally adorned with clothing befitting her people: simple skirts, shorts, and tops along with a belt and a necklace adorned with a golden charm. On her right shoulder and head, Orla has adorned herself with the skulls of beasts she has defeated personally in combat.
She is normally seen carrying a large, earth-toned stone hammer and has a large satchel emblazoned with her clan's mark.
Personality
Orla, despite her appearance and rather fierce expression she normally wears, is a surprisingly kind and friendly High Orc. She is normally level-headed, unlike regular High Orc, but like many of her kind she is rather lustful and ferocious when given the chance or she's allowed to have her guard down. She is known to hit on anyone that strikes her fancy, though most of the time, her advances (which are considered rather forward) are normally rejected by many of the people she flirts with. Despite the setbacks that this normally causes, Orla bounces back quickly and laughs off the rejection before she goes about whatever business she was attending. When angry, however, there is very few beings that can hold her down and she will pursue the object of her wrath to the ends of the world until she is satisfied that she has dealt with the problem in her own way (at one point in her life, she even chased a dragon back to its nest and beat it up before taking the dragon's hoard for all her troubles).
Orla is intelligent, and speaking militarily, she is a sound strategist and vanguard to whoever buys her services as a mercenary. However, she is also opportunistic and has no qualms of betraying anyone that has paid her if it means that she gets a better reward from any other party. Her true loyalty, however, is always to her clan and she will drop everything the moment she hears of anyone from her clan is in danger. Orla also tends to show a more demure side when she finally has a chance with someone (though this is extremely rare as one has to defeat her in combat). Her body also exhibits much of her emotions as she tends to release a special scent that drive regular Orcs and human male crazy when in the heat of battle or whenever she experiences a very powerful emotion (when in rage, those near her become even angrier; when happy; those around her feel even more energy; etc.).
Orla is honest to the point of being brutal, and has no care of what others think of her when she points out their faults for whatever reason. This can cause trouble as she tends to say things that can sound extremely insulting to many, and the worst part is that she doesn't take back whatever she says. However, one should not take Orla for an honest fool as she is observant despite her straightforward manner, and as mentioned before, ferocious when she finds out that anyone deceived her for any reason. Orla is a being that is best described as “chaotic” and ruled by her instincts, but should one have her as an ally, then they have a rather powerful member in any group she is in.
Abilities/Powers
Natural Abilities
Superhuman Strength
Like many High Orc before her, Orla is incredibly strong and battling her one-on-one is considered a dangerous endeavor for even the most seasoned of warriors. She is capable of uprooting trees easily and has been known to nearly crush anything in her way when she decides to charge at something. It is thanks to this strength that she is able to wield her weapon of choice, the Stone War Hammer, like a baton and is generally also the reason why she is able to perform tasks that would take several others to do a difficult task. Orla's greatest testament of strength comes from one venture where she fought an adult Dragon (something that would have taken the kingdom she had been in at the time their entire army to do).
Expert Combatant
Coming from a clan of Orc who delve in combat, Orla became a top class fighter in many types of combat styles including wrestling, armed combat, and guerrilla tactics. Since she doesn't follow a martial arts, Orla tends to “play dirty” and doesn't have a problem breaking rules if it means that she will win. It is thanks to her opportunistic mindset that allows her to take on creatures often considered far stronger than any of her kind, or large groups that vastly outnumber her (and any small group she's with).
Expert Tactician/Strategist
Orla is surprisingly intelligent for a High Orc, and after her teachings on guerrilla tactics, she quickly became a terror for many bandits and other outlaws (as well as many kingdoms who could not afford her prices). With her habit of playing dirty and using whatever opportunity that comes up, Orla has devised plans that are both praised their effectiveness by her allies and loathed for their underhandedness by her enemies. Orla has often been called (and paid) for her opinion by many nations out of respect for her tactics and her ability to come up with ways out of tough situations (when she is on her right mind).
Scent
Like many High Orc, Orla releases a rather unique scent that is effective on not only Orcs in general, but human males as well. While many speculate it is pheromones and others believe it to be an unique magic that only the High Orc are able to release, Orla uses her scent rather naturally to inspire her allies when things look grim. Depending on her current state, the scent can also act as a hindrance as those outside of the radius she emits it won't be affected, or if someone defeats her (which is difficult but plausible), then the scent can stop any Orc that she is with (as they lose the will to fight along with Orla).
Other
Orla has been shown to have better sense of smell and hearing than a human and can normally track down someone or something if she has to. She is also a surprisingly good cook and has knowledge of several herbs that help in healing numerous conditions such as poisons, headaches, and so on.
Tools
Stone War Hammer
Orla's main weapon, a war hammer crafted by Earth Magic and a powerful tool that only Orla is capable of wielding thanks to her strength. Crafted by the sorcerers of her clan, this was a coming of age gift Orla received before she left to become a mercenary. The hammer is extremely heavy, taking at least five grown human men to even move around, though Orla does it as though the hammer weighed nothing. As explained by Orla, the hammer was charmed so that only she would be able to wield the weapon without fail and would disobey anyone that would bring harm to the owner or others. Though made out of stone, the Stone War Hammer is considered better than both average and certain magical steel, and Orla has used it to knock even giants down to their knees with a swing.
Magic Satchel
Orla carries around a magic satchel that was also gifted to her by her clan. Bearing the mark of her clan, the magic satchel is capable of holding a large armory's worth of objects and still be easy to carry around for Orla. Whenever someone other than Orla would try to remove anything, on the other hand, they will find the bag empty of any content. Orla normally carries several rations of various kinds, changes of clothing (for whatever weather she has to deal with), healing potions and items to help in recovery (such as bandages, swabs, and the like), money (in gold and jewels), scrolls with spells (such as teleportation, elements that Orla can't use, etc.), and much more. The satchel, however, cannot hold anything living or that needs air.
Medallion
Around Orla's neck sits a special medallion that alerts Orla of any danger that would be heading towards her clan, specifically her twin Orc sister, Porca. Orla's father created the medallion as both a gift and a way for both Orla and Porca to communicate with each other (with both having duplicates to exchange whatever they are doing). Thanks to this two way communication, Orla always knows what's going on back home, and she always checks in once a week to make sure that everyone is enjoying whatever gifts she sends their way.
Relationships
Family
Orla has always gotten along with her family, and loves them so deeply that she will even drop something important should she know that something is wrong. Her mother, the current chieftain of the clan, taught her and Orla's sister many things and was always proud of Orla for her honesty and hard-working attitude. Orla's father, a human sorcerer who was captured by Orla's mother, at first was apprehensive of being captured, but after the birth of his daughters, he decided to be part of the clan and Orla has loved him since she was small. Orla's twin sister, Porca, was born a regular Orc and with a weak constitution but the two are known to care for one another to the point that either would give up anything if it meant it would help the other. The fact of the matter is that when Orla became old enough to leave the clan, she left to find a cure for Porca's weak constitution so that Porca could enjoy the world at her leisure.
Clan
Orla values her clan, the Rough Rock Clan, deeply as many of the Orcs and humans there make up a lot of her family or were there for her when she was taking care of her sister. Orla loves them all and has sent parts of her rewards that help the clan trade with others and sustain themselves.
Employers
Orla has garnered an impressive reputation for both her skill and her bad habit of turning traitor on anyone that can't meet with her prices as a mercenary. Due to this, many of her employers have learned to make sure to pay her richly for her loyalty as they do not wish to have Orla as an enemy. This became even more pronounced when Orla defeated the adult Dragon that was terrorizing a great kingdom by herself. While she does what she is tasked to do, Orla prefers working with others who are honest of their intentions and will not be above causing damage to any employer she finds try to cheat her out of her money or play underhanded.
Jack the Warlock
Jack Embers, or Jack the Warlock, is a powerful wizard who travels the globe to learn the many ways of magic, and he is often the (unfortunate) target of many of Orla's amorous advances. Both met when they were contracted by the Lan-Gran Kingdom to defeat a band of bandits that were causing trouble in many of the kingdom's trading routes. Jack ended up getting into an argument with Orla that escalated into a fight, before defeating her and learning a rule that most people knew: defeating a High Orc meant causing them to fall in love with whoever defeated them. Since then, Orla has tracked down Jack across the world, and the two normally share in the many adventures that befall Jack as he tries to return to his home. Though Jack would rather not be in a relationship with Orla, the two do get along and he has called her beautiful despite the constant need for the wizard to stop the High Orc's many advances. In the end, however, Orla's constant tries finally won over Jack and the two became partners in quests, eventually even becoming lovers (to Orla's joy).
Enemies
Orla, thanks to her rather bad habit of being opportunistic, has garnered the enmity of many nations, empires, and kingdoms who have lost important battles or skirmishes that they couldn't afford to lose. Due to this, many of these kingdoms have label her as a criminal and send knights, bounty hunters, and all manner of mercenaries to capture (and all have failed to do so). Chief amongst these countries that have grown wrathful on the High Orc is the Imperial Sovereign Nation of the North, an empire that spans much of the continents northern hemisphere and who have no love for Orla after she was bought out by an insurgent group of smaller nations that in the end managed to form an unified country with her help after they paid her handsomely.
