umm a meme as an excuse to draw my orcs. and someone asked me to write more about my characters so here is the deal with these doods (clockwise from upper left)

  • fenris redwolf is a favored and talented shaman of the warsong clan. young and impulsive, he’s 100% behind grommash’s plans—both in the original timeline and the warlords alternative. in the original timeline, he dies in the battle for mt. hyjal, because he chooses to heal his husband rather than himself. in the alternative timeline, a certain (strangely green) husband finds him and convinces him to defect from the iron horde.
  • kazitrik is that certain husband, a stubborn and earnest warrior who walks with a limp. after losing fenris, he helps build orgrimmar and settles down but never moves on. fenris’s teenage niece, rouka, is sent to live with him. her non-orc dating habits slowly change his traditional curmudgeoness. also on her insistence, he travels to pandaria, where he finds himself and trains as a monk. initially a supporter of warchief garrosh, he joins the rebellion when the vale of eternal blossoms is corrupted and rouka’s goblin girlfriend is banished from her home in orgrimmar.
  • lokria “heckscream” changed her name from lokruk to lokria, then started to use the moniker heckscream when things got way too tense with the new warchief. she is a proud and smarmy orgrimmar grunt who always finds friends in goblins, admiring their creativity and general irreverence for orcish norms. when the kor’kron guards move in, she is stationed in a remote blood elven outpost, where she gets wind of the growing revolution and becomes a informant, but also a general headache with her incessant flirting.
  • rouka redwolf is the daughter of fenris’s twin brother, but might as well be his with how similar they are. kazitrik treats her like a child much to her chagrin, disapproving of every girlfriend she brings home—even the orcs. rouka is often the force driving her uncle to confront and admit things, including visiting the grave of his husband, where his spirit had been waiting for years. she falls for a flamboyant jewelcrafting goblin by the name of fizzle dynamite silverknuckle who showers her with gifts, and together they adventure to anywhere kazi deems too dangerous.
