About this mod
This is a female Orsimer (Orc) character preset for racemenu. The file is a .jslot that will adjust your character creation sliders to match what I made. If you want to look exactly like the screenshots read the description for full mod list.

Megdra has been updated and revised for High Poly Head. See here for updated preset and more character presets:
Polingc's High Poly Racemenu Presets - Volume 1
Attention: Megdra is now also a follower.
Update to Version 1.1:
By request uploaded an ECE preset slot. NOTE: this is not a head mesh transfer from the original RaceMenu design. About 65% of Megdra's features carried over successfully and I rebuilt her brow, nose, mouth and cheeks as best I could using ECE for as much as I could care to do so.
This isn't Megdra, but it's pretty damn close. Enjoy.
To Install ECE load slot drop the file into:
Documents>My Games>Skyrim Special Edition>CME_save
File name is "_11_commontriraces.slot"
In ECE's showracemenu screen select "Load Slot" and select slot 11. Megdra's near identical twin should appear.
Description:
The file is a .jslot, meaning it will adjust the character creation sliders in Racemenu to recreate Megdra's appearance. Depending on what mods you have installed your Megdra may look different from mine.
If you want to replicate exactly what you see in the screenshots you'll need to install Skyrim SE Script Extender, RaceMenu, and all the head part mods (hair, scars, eyes, etc.).

Backstory:
For those of you who care, here's Megdra's backstory that I envisioned when designing her. I recommend using Alternate Start -LAL- to get the most out of roleplaying her.
Megdra gra-Drushnikh was an outsider in her own clan. She was found in the wilds as a babe by a hunting party and brought back, raised by the stronghold whose name she bears. She learned to wear the armor of her kind and the strength of steel in battle. Raids from hungry Forsworn were common, but it was a Hag Raven that left her searing mark on Megdra's face. She bore her wound with pride; the mark of a warrior who didn't shy away from danger or battle.
But when she came of age she faced a decision: remain in the stronghold and become one of the chief's many wives, or leave and find her own place in Skyrim. Megdra had always been strong willed, independent, and belonged to no one. The choice had already been made for her. She left the stronghold, welcome to return at any time as a friend, but would never be considered a part the clan again.
Orcs were always in high demand to serve as mercenaries, or soldiers for the Empire. Megdra set off to forge her own future.
FAQ:
Q. Is there an ECE versison?
A. I may, as time and energy permit, create ECE look-a-likes of my racemenu presets. If a particular preset interests you and no ECE version currently exists leave a request in the comments so I know.
Q. Why do the ECE and Racemenu presets look different?
A. The mods use different, head morphs, sliders, body parts, etc. Currently neither ECE or Racemenu support a "Face Export" feature: the ability to turn your character's head into a complete pre-packaged object that you can then stick on any other body. Because of this, I have to do my best to imitate in ECE what I created in Racemenu so it's impossible to create a true replica.
Q. Why use Racemenu over ECE?
A. Because I prefer it. In my opinion ECE "human-izes" the non-human races to the point that the non-human races loose the features that set them apart in the first place. Also, ECE screws around with race data leading to incompatibilities with numerous other mods that change or affect race abilities/stats.
Q. What happens if I don't have all your recommended mods installed?
A. Then nothing should load into those slots. Example: if you don't have KS Hairdos your character will have the same vanilla hair prior to loading the preset.
Q. The face complexion doesn't load with the preset. Why?
A. I don't know. It's a racemenu thing. The complexion isn't changed no matter what preset you load. You'll have to adjust it yourself.
Q. Your screenshots show a tattoo/body paint/body/head/hand/feet overlays but it isn't included in the preset. Why?
A. Because it's too easy for people to incorrectly install those overlays, leading to purple body parts due to missing textures. It's far easier for you (and me) to leave the overlays out of the preset altogether. If you want to use the same overlays as I, then download the relevant mods and have at it.
Q. I don't see any presets even though they are in the correct file path.
A. Try saving a preset yourself (e.g. on the preset tab press F5 and save whatever face you currently are using). This will then create the correct folder path using racemenu itself. Then try re-downloading my preset and see if it shows up.
