ORC is an acronym for "Organic Rule Components". From the publisher:

ORC is a Role Playing Game rules system.

ORC character creation is fairly crunchy, but its crunchy for a reason.
* The rules are primarily meant to model physics and biology.
ORC gameplay is easy to learn and quick to use.
* All rules work from the same basic mechanic.
* The most complicated part is combat, because the combat system allows for people to use real-life strategies and to employ every resource available to help them win.
ORC is not a generic system designed to be able to be instantly dropped into any setting.
* ORC is designed for realistic, low-powered gameplay (as opposed to legendary, superheroic, comedic, etc. games).
* ORC character creation must be specifically tailored to each game setting.
ORC does character classes in a realistic and flexible way.
* They say what the character's pace in society is, not what the character can become.

Subsidiary systems are: ORC-L.
