Homebrew Scro Species Details

The highly militaristic scro are a violent orcish species. They are still rarely encountered, but if present trends continue, travelers will unfortunately see more of them. The scro resemble musclebound orcs, fully armored and armed to the teeth. Scro share many of the orc’s physical characteristics but the scro stand proud and erect, with high foreheads resembling humans. Scro eyes appear human, but they glow a sickly phosphorescent green in dim light. Their hide color ranges from slate gray, burnt orange, or moss green to jet black, or in some cases, albino white. Scro carry no standards, but each scro wears an insignia that identifies its house. This is worn either as a shoulder patch or on it’s left breast.

DUTY AND DEATH

Scro live in a regimented society based on a complex system of laws and customs that call for unswerving loyalty and obedience. Each scro is a valued member of society and has a duty to fulfill. Scro value their honor above everything else and if they fail to maintain their honor, either by disregarding their duties or showing cowardice in combat, they seek out death as a form of atonement. A dishonored scro that still lives is considered a pitiful creature best put out of its misery

DUKAGSH

The location of the scro homeworld is unknown but the name is whispered on the lips of all scro , Dukagsh . Named after the first Almighty Leader of the Scro , Dukagsh was a visionary who led the orc survivors of the first Unhuman War on an exodus to reinvent themselves in the dark reaches of unknown space. Dukagsh realized the orcs lost the Unhuman Wars  Because of their one dimensional tactics, Dukagsh insisted the orcs fight in an organized way, each solider realizing their potential. In the ensuing years, Dukagsh transformed his people, making them learned fighters and philosophers and, to ensure no one forgot who caused their misfortune, he insisted they all learn elvish.

Before he died, Dukagsh declared his people reborn as the scro . The old ways were dead, and a new race was born. After his death, his grateful followers named their home world in
his honor and entombed him in orbit, so he may look down on his people and witness their progress. brutality for its own sake was pointless.
