Half-Orcs

Half-orcs are usually the unfortunate result of an Orcish raid on a human settlement. They typically have gray, mottled skin and prominent, jutting features. Only around 10% of half-orcs can even pass as human. Though they retain some physical attributes of orcs and the mind of a human, their thoughts can become clouded and conflicted when they enter into a state of heightened alertness. It is not uncommon for a half-orc to lose themselves in a bloody melee, simply responding to the savage blood pumping through their body.

Most half-orc children are abandoned in the countryside or killed outright when born, as they are seen as abominations. Those who do survive live their lives on the outskirts of civilization, lest they be lynched or put into jail for no particular reason.
