Humans are Space Orcs story where humans are known for our storytelling and acting abilities. While these talents are somewhat respected, there’s a major stigma against humans because we’re also the best liars.
“Humans don’t actually feel anything at all, they just mimic emotions to trick others into believing them”
“Never trust a human. They lie like the rest of us breath”
“Humans spend so much of their lives acting, it’s impossible to tell when they’re being truthful”
“In human culture, great respect is awarded to ‘actors’ who are able to mimic other persons and emotions with startling accuracy”
“Some ‘actors’ are able to ‘perform’ hundreds of unique characters”
“Acting is so ubiquitous in the human culture that many consider it polite to lie”
“Sarcasm is a common, casual game played between humans, where one human says something untrue and the other human must guess what truth they are thinking. Humans unable to perform this ritual are often ostracized by their peers”
“If you see a human crying, do not immediately assume they are hurt. Humans have been known to use their ‘acting’ abilities to trick unsuspecting travelers into giving up an unreasonable number of belongings”
“All interstellar travelers are required to read up on popular ‘scams’ or ‘cons’ performed by humans in the region they are traveling to”
