John is short and skinny for a half orc, standing as he does only 5'2" tall and weighing less than 250lbs.  Apart from the tusks, and the skin colour, he takes more after his mother than his father, having black hair, hazel eyes and... well yeah, his skin is green.

He asks too many questions and he's always wide-eyed and curious.  Some people call him childish and that's okay because people are less afraid of the young than a warrior and he doesn't like people to be afraid of him.

He has big strong hands, but they would rather hold a chisel and mallet than the usual warhammer.
