Half-Orcs are among the rarest of the racial crossbreeds. This is usually due to the habit of Orcs not allowing Half-Orc babies to live. Most Half-Orcs live to be around 80 years old.
Demeanor: Half-Orcs often have a very aggressive nature, and may seem combative at first meeting. However, they are also fiercely loyal to those that they call friend.
Appearance: Half-Orcs resemble large muscular humans with a slightly bestial appearance. The most common characteristics are a low hanging brow, jutting jaw and small tusks thrusting up from the jaw, though rarely as pronounced as those found on Orcs. Half-Orcs are often between 5’8” and 6’6” tall and weighing in at roughly 200 to 250 lbs on average.
