No, seriously. I feel in tune with my
Character in such a way, we’re it’s almost like I am him. I know of orc culture and their language it’s like, am I an orc IRL?
Idk but I love it!

We come from the orcs. We eat with spoons and forks. We love to eat our pork.

Which orc specifically? WoW Orc, Warhammer 40k/fantasy orc/ork, or even Lord of the rings orc?
In the distance somewhere, thar be a mighty Waaagh
So do I at times. I value strength and honor, I try to maintain my body strong and battle ready, and I keep my mind ready to go into fight mode… 
I’m an Orc Warlock and I approve this message.
Ok I know I’m following up my own post but I’ve had some time to think about this: I, too, feel like an orc sometimes. They’ve been my favourite race since I started playing this game back in late BC. Around this time I also read the novel ‘Rise of the Horde’, which is what solidified my love of the orcs - a people who were once proud and, after a fashion, noble, who fell from grace with misguided intentions (something we can all relate to I think. Who hasn’t made mistakes they regret?). After this, they were stranded on an alien planet with no allies or support, truly outsiders, feeling alone (again, something I certainly feel I can relate to and I’m sure many of us can). But, they found strength within themselves to push on, building allegiances with other races, eventually forming the mighty Horde we all know and love today. I use and have used this as inspiration in my own life when I’m feeling downtrodden and defeated; I pick myself up and soldier on. Even if it feels like I’m alone in my fight now, like Broxigar facing down the Dark Titan Sargeras, I am only truly defeated if I give in, if I stop trying and stop fighting, and if I keep my head up I will realize I have more allies than I thought. I used to think I couldn’t talk to anyone about being depressed, that I had to fight it alone, but one day I realized I had friends to support me if I only had the courage to ask; it was the depression that was my enemy, not those around me. Again, I was only truly defeated if I gave in. A proud and noble orc would face any challenge, not denying fear but taming it and not allowing it to hold them back.
On a less personal note, I love the Orcish culture that Blizzard has built – a society where people have a made a life for themselves in the harsh terrain of Durotar, who live simply but with pride and dignity. They also have no qualms in lore that I’m aware of about women serving as warriors alongside males – progressive indeed! And let’s face it: they just look plain cool.
I am proud to consider myself an orc. The Orcish mentality has helped me in my own life, and even when I stop playing WoW someday I doubt it’ll ever leave me. Lok’tar Ogar!
Good luck with that. Much more dangerous path, as a worgen main.
