So I have more than just one orc... in a variety of games I've played a variety of orcs beyond just Amit. And this is a spin on the 'Orcish Cleric' concept that I latched onto...
Bal'jek Twinaxe, son of an Orcish warrior and a former Half-Orcish slave, warrior priest for his clan in the name of the Rebel, the aspect of the gods that defies tradition and helps them grow beyond the stereotypes they are known for. Wielding two greataxes he blesses before battle, he enters battle using his own body as a symbol for what he was fighting for, not just creating miracles with his gift, but fighting for everything he believes in and to protect those who may not have the power to protect themselves.
This would be him starting out before going on his pilgrimage across the world, younger, wearing basic tribal armor, and nowhere near as fuzzy as he would be before growing into true adulthood.
Respecting strength of body and heart above all things, he feels drawn to those who fights for their ideals regardless of the situation, and regardless of gender, enjoying fostering that strength... and possibly having its ferocity turned on him at times.
Drawn by FDolagaray on Twitter, he caught the noble savagery of the character rightly, and a fantastic artist in everything else he does. I'm definitely gonna be commissioning him again as soon as I'm able to again -- if you can, definitely check him out on Twitter! He's a criminally underrated artist.
Definitely more to come for this guy -- and maybe other orcs I've played...

Indeed. Though the newer pieces are more indicative of his look. My orcs tends to be... fuzzy sumbitches. XD
It'd be fun. His 'official' class from 3.5 was Fighter/Barbarian/Cleric, but with the archetypes in 5e I think he can be just a fighter/barbarian and take a couple of caster styles for that.
