Orcent

One of the intelligent orcs, displaying a tendency to philosophize. Orcent finds his nature deeply depressing and doesn't see any way to overcome his animal instincts. Accepting Simon as his master seems to have helped, and he can behave civilly enough, but he remains moody, conscious of the fragility of his intellect against the raw force of his basal instincts.

He's responsible for the Army system; you must talk to him to know your army size and quality.

Story
Orcent's first encountered just before reaching Stineford, on a farm apparently ransacked by his band of orcs. However, it seems that he picked this farm because it was targeted by corrupt knights from nearby Stineford, who would rape and kill farm inhabitants and blame it on orcs. Orcent admits that undeniable orc instincts would have led to rape as well, but at least it would have prevented the knights' future atrocities. The knights were too strong for Orcent's band, but Simon's party takes them down. Simon then dominates Orcent, while also giving him greater self-control and authority over the orc band.

He provides the base minimum army during the battle against the horde. If no one else, you will still have his forces.

Orcent becomes a temporary party member during at the Gathering, and is given hope when he meets Balia there, as she says it's possible not only to use him as raw material for better orcs, but to actually spawn his soul into a better situation.

Lucy
In addition to his desires for self-mastery, Orcent also at one point expresses a wish for a woman who would willingly copulate with him. Lucy is the only candidate for this, and it's technically optional but an easy way to make progress in gathering ProN for the deal with Megail. They are happy together at first, and their sex seems to ease Orcent's drives, but by Chapter 2 Orcent stops touching her out of fear he'll hurt her, and by Chapter 3 Orcent has sent her away to start an independent life in Ari-Yhilina as one of Queen Janine's servants.

Skills
Orcent needs no points of any kind for his special skills, so there is no reason to use the Attack command at all. His starting skills are his only ones.

Tactics
Orcent is a physical hitter, basically. He is particularly vulnerable to some forms of Magical Attack - he has a very low MDF stat value, and only the Orc Collar can raise it.

In the fights alone, there are basically three strategies:
 * If the enemy is a tough one, it's better if you start with one or two Defensive Attacks: the debuff to ATK, and AGI in some cases, can tip the scales to your favor. Then switch to another move based on whether the enemy has a lot of DEF or not.
 * If the enemy has high evasion or DEF, use Piercing Attack which ignores it.
 * If the enemy has little DEF, try to finish it ASAP, spamming Aggressive Attack.

As of version 0.21, there're only 3 enemies Orcent can fight that even have DEF: Fallen Chosen, the Blood Orc Veteran, and Orc Sentinels.

If the situation turns difficult but you want to carry on, don't hesitate to use Orc Potions (recover 3000 HP and can be purchased from the Gathering orc merchant, possibly making them the best choice) or the Huge Life Potion (5000 HP) if you have it.

In the fights with the rest of the party, use Qum to keep him alive instead.
