An Orc

As an orc you were tall masculine and green. your face was fierce but among male orcs such a thing was average. At a young age you were orphaned, and as an orphan you had nothing but grit to get you by. until finally you became an orc peon

As an orc peon you would toil for your life, carrying lumber, pulling weeds, and shining the boots of others. in essence you were a ****

However a chance arose. An orc commander would allow some of the more able peons to work within the army and those who could achieve results in the war would be a free orc.

There would likely be a catch but could you an untrained peon truly become something fierce
