Half Orcs
Half Orcs are often, but not always, rapeget from a Human woman and a Orcish raider. Half Orcs typically favor one parentage over the other, but generally benefit from the brutish strength and durability of their Orcish heritage. Their life spans are typically short compared to those of normal Humans, but are still longer than that of most Orcs.
Half Orcs in some cultures suffer discrimination, but are somewhat accepted in other cultures. Further, some Half Orcs are raised by one parent or the other, and some others have experience in both environments. Due to their high degree of variation from one another, each Half Orc should be personalized as befits their background outside of their Package Deal.
Assuming they exist in a setting, GM Permission is occasionally required to play a Half Orc.

Savage
Savages are warriors from more primitive and / or less civilized lands who rely on sheer athleticism and moxy rather than fancy or well crafted armaments. Savages tend to focus on survival and overall fitness.
Savages can be somewhat similar to Light Foot but without concentrating overly much on the mastery of a specific weapon (to a Savage everything is a weapon), and with more concentration on raw athletic ability.
Despite the connotation of the word "savage", Savages are not ravening brutes by default; they are simply primal and unspoiled by more advanced modicums of behavior. Many Savages follow a personal or cultural Code of behavior that, while typically more practical and/or direct, is nevertheless as binding to them as a well defined Code of Chivalry is to the most hide-bound and chivalrous of Knights. This is a concept often referred to as "the Noble Savage".

Savant
Savants are handy folk to have around, naturally skilled and adept at a wide variety of things. Possessed of a certain flair and panache, Savants are highly skilled or innately talented or both, able to make the impossible look easy. Jacks-of-all-trades, Savants often become adventurers for the sheer challenge and perhaps a relief from the boredom of dealing with normal people.
Savants are often motivated by a desire to learn a new thing or two, or to test their wits against a worthy opponent. Savants usually concentrate on picking up new Skills, Perks, and information which might serve them in good stead.
