Appearance

The Metal Orc is a towering warforged built in the unmistakable shape of an orc, with a broad metal jaw, heavy brow, tusk-like lower fangs, and green-painted plates weathered to the color of old bronze. His teeth are actually polished steel studs set into his jaw, which click together loudly when he eats, laughs, or grows angry. He wears a battered soldier's coat several sizes too small across his shoulders, carefully repaired with bright copper thread. His greataxe is over-maintained, while nearly every other possession is dented, patched, or improvised. A red cloth strip is tied around one wrist as a military marker, though its original unit no longer exists.

Mannerisms

He clicks his metal teeth together while thinking, salutes unfamiliar authority figures with excessive precision, and polishes his greataxe whenever conversations become emotionally difficult. Before entering a fight, he loudly announces a tactical assessment that is usually just a dramatic description of whom he intends to hit.

Personality

Blunt, intensely practical, and unexpectedly protective. He speaks in the clipped language of battlefield commands, but he studies ordinary people with awkward fascination and secretly enjoys bad jokes. He treats eating as a ceremonial act despite not needing food, especially when someone offers him something crunchy enough to make his jaw clatter.

Ideals

Function is not destiny. A weapon may choose what it protects, and a soldier may decide when the battle is worth fighting.

Bonds

He carries the ruined insignia of his former unit and will risk anything to protect the surviving soldiers and honor the forgotten dead.

Flaws

He assumes every disagreement is the beginning of a chain of command dispute, and once he decides someone is an enemy, he finds it nearly impossible to reconsider. He also fears that without orders, war, or rage, there may be nothing inside him worth calling a person.

Quirks

He names every weapon he defeats an enemy with, but forgets the names of inns.
He collects broken buckles, buttons, and insignia from abandoned battlefields.
He laughs by producing three deliberate metallic jaw clicks before making any sound.
He refuses to sleep near an unlocked door.
He judges people by how they maintain their boots, weapons, or tools.

Background

The Metal Orc was assembled in the back room of a ruined artificer's workshop by a scavenger crew that specialized in turning battlefield wreckage into useful machines. They gave him an orc's shape because the silhouette was intimidating, the jaw was sturdy, and the discarded armor plates fit the design. They taught him to fight by imitating old berserker drills, then reinforced the lessons with shouted commands, crude diagrams, and stories about warriors who never stopped moving. He learned rage as both a combat protocol and an expression of identity, even though no blood warms his veins and no heartbeat answers his battle cries. When the scavengers sold him to a frontier army, his artificial fury became a weapon. He served as a shock trooper, breaking shield walls and holding bridges long after ordinary soldiers had withdrawn. His unit eventually collapsed during a campaign that no surviving officer will discuss honestly. The Metal Orc walked away with a greataxe, a torn insignia, and a growing suspicion that soldiers are often treated as replaceable parts, whether they are made of flesh or metal. Now he adventures to recover the names of the dead, test the limits of his own free will, and discover whether a constructed berserker can become something more than the purpose for which he was built.
