Half-Orbog

Born from humans and orbogs, this subrace of half-orcs is composed by harsh and arcane-oriented people.

Personality

As they are always ostracized and share the ambitious personality of humans and the reservedness of orbogs, they are often angered and quite peevish, reacting with unbound violence or stubborn silence when provoked. They think quite high of themselves and often strive for prevailing.

They are nervous and rude, and this behavior doesn't help with the impression others have of them. They are resourceful and like to be always prepared for any situation.

Physical Description

They share with orbogs the pale complexion, red or green eyes, sickly appearance and pointy teeth. Other physical features are more similar to humans, being varied and very different from one another.

Relations

Orbogs do not differentiate half-orbogs from themselves, while humans and other races treat them as any other half-orcs.

Alignment

Though they have tendencies for chaos, they are often neutral evil or neutral, not much caring for morals.

Lands

They live in the same places as orbogs, or near them, often in small human communities.

Religion

As orbogs, they often revere Yurtrus and other orc deities, instead of human ones, but most of them are atheists, caring more for arcane arts than divine power.

Language

They know Orc and Common, and acute individuals may learn Abyssal, Infernal or Draconic, as they dabble with oscure and eldritch magic.

Names

Half-orbogs have mostly human names with a title that refer to their orc nature, such as Blackwater or Pearhead
