...Wow. Scary.

Well compare Humans and add some orcish insides.

Depressed, and trys to be like others. Mabey angry.

So, make him mopy, try making him suck up to other orcs and act like other orcs (Be bad at it tho. Like: "Oh! grrr oomies. oomies bad grrr"). And angry at the slightest comment.

She asked for the age not how she is suppose to play the char.

So much for A+ reading comprehension.

I think orcs live less then humans. 12-13.

I would look at the starting and ending age in the account thingy and than decide approximatly where the puberty starts because I don't think someone could tell you for sure except allmighty Damien of course :wink:

Orcs would be more of a society of just child->adult, Id think, where its most likely ceremonial for becoming a man, unless you just want to know when an orc starts to try to make orc babies...

I imaging they would start trying when they actually figured out what the thing down there is for. Kind like animals but than again, who knows?

thats the thing i want him to go through the challenges of prooving himself a full grown adult orc. as a way to introduce him to the other orcs.

most likely, it would be a test of some sort, most likely chosen by the chief. A test of manhood.

... not asking what it would be...Still looking for a Number corresponding to the years in which an orc has lived to meet the standards of pubesent.

well, like in humans, it depends...prolly when the orc child feels he is ready, or when the parent or chief thinks so.

I would imagine orcs start puberty at an early age, thier brutal life style dictating they survive through breeding. I would for a number say 12 years old. But itouwldnt suprise me if it were younger. But just remember a 12 year old orc will be far different to a human. Raised in a life of fighting and survival.

Humans live for 70 years; puberty is approx 14 years for male so therefore

70/14 = 5

1/5 of they years as a child, then puberty work it out that way

Why do you even wish to know? are you THAT serious a roleplayer? Don't answer if orcs ask how old you are

Some of us take our roleplay VERY seriously and enjoy the time and effort into putting a character together. It is a very valid question.
