	Prop 23 making the Ork Underground a recognised district in 2074 introduced a number of changes. The mayoral office isn't exactly thrilled about it, but they had to give the new kids on the block a few seats. Enter the OU Policlub. The pro-metahuman agenda can't win them overwhelming support, especially with the existence of parties which either disapprove or simply view them as contenders to what they want to capitalize on, but the popularity with the blue collar, low-income tusked and/or pointy-eared communities mustn't be underestimated, particularly in the OU and Puyallup.

==Overview==

Prop 23 making the Ork Underground a recognised district in 2074 introduced a number of changes. The mayoral office isn't exactly thrilled about it, but they had to give the new kids on the block a few seats. Enter the OU Policlub. The pro-metahuman agenda can't win them overwhelming support, especially with the existence of parties which either disapprove or simply view them as contenders to what they want to capitalize on, but the popularity with the blue collar, low-income tusked communities mustn't be underestimated. They've got a fine face as well if you look past the physicality. While vocal and dead-set on his community being treated as equals to "the fat cats in office", Prof. Joseph "Joe" Jacoby couldn't be further from the aggressive, ignorant trog stereotype Humanis pushes. He holds a PhD in Political Science and a Master of Arts in Sociology from Seattle University, which paradoxically makes him the best-prepared in terms of who's the most meritorious if he was running for office. He still gives lectures too. Not a fan of Sons of Sauron, he believes in equal opportunities for metas from poorer backgrounds and frequently attacks the cops for police brutality vs barrens denizens. Sensing an opportunity, Aztechnology swooped in to support Joe and the OU Policlub, well before EVO did, which also caused backlash from the latter, but the ork is savvy enough to take advantage of the megacorporate bickering.
