So I'm trying to start Larping as a hobby and am wondering what advice you guys could give me on roleplaying an Orc. I'll give you a some info to help give you an idea of my character, mostly visually and little bit about my idea of an orc.
So I know a lot about orc culture from various fictions, namely the orcs from Middle-earth which is the visual I'm drawing from(from the films, filling the gaps with the books), though I prefer to go more Warcraft or Skyrim personality-wise with the brutal honor.
I'm going to get this mask medievalcollectibles.com/p-22088-green-feral-orc-mask.aspx
I don't think I'll get contact lenses or tusks, my teeth are pretty pointy already and I like the way blue eyes can be more intimidating than contacts some times. And tusk talk is something I'd like to avoid altogether, I worry that it would hamper my vocalizations, going for a more middle-earth orc I do growls, roars, shrieks, throaty calls and a harsh, somewhat deep voice.
Armor/costume-wise I'm going with browns and blacks for the cloth, and a black base coat with a steel paint rubbed across it to give it a well used look, it will be a heavy armor set appearance-wise and I will be wielding a two handed, two headed battle axe so the orc will be a heavy hitter.
I've got some background info figured out and a character name, but was hoping to add some personalized orc looking heraldry to the outfit, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.
And sorry for the length of this post
