Half-Ogres!
Half-Ogres
are the collaboration of human and ogre cross breeding, having the physical
features and
general structure of the dominant parent (usually the male). Either way, Half-Ogres
tend to be quite ugly in almost every fashion. Under rare circumstances where
the father is human and the mother is an ogress of the finest blood, they could
give birth to a substantially beautiful child...looking almost human in every
way with the exception of skin tone, which is always inherited from the ogre
gene pool.
Half-Ogre's
typically wander Vastonia as rabid outcasts of civilization. They are not commonly
welcome into human society due to their size and/or abnormal features. However
Half-Ogres do find comfort in other regions such as Tutjak, Tantamar and other
outlying kingdoms where dominance is considered a vital trait. Half-Ogres are
not as rare in Vastonia as one might think, being almost as common as their
ogre kin...a race most Half-Ogres care not to be associated with.
Racial
Traits
Half-Ogres
tend to have fairly mild tempers in general, but easily lose their composure
when irritated by those who taunt them or insist on using ignorant racial slurs
to get their attention. Half-Ogres are almost always more intelligent then their
ogre parent, although they tend to retain at least one trait from their slow
witted cousins (gullible, easily confused etc). They are easily coaxed into
battle and will always follow their leaders into a fray without question. They
care not about odds and rarely retreat from battle unless absolutely necessary.
Half-Ogres also tend to adopt habits from whomever they associate themselves
with. Whether these habits are bad or good is not their concern. It's more of
a way to honor the person who they have grown accustom too.
Physical
Features
Half-Ogres stand anywhere between 7 and 8 feet tall if fathered of Ogre blood,
which is most often the case. If the father was of Human lineage, they tend
to be somewhat shorter, but never less than 6 and a half feet tall. Half-Ogres
tend to have brown, grey, black or a dull yellow skin or any of these skin
tones with a greenish tint. Teeth and nails are always orange in color. Their
eyes can be any normal human color, with 1 in 5 having white pupils, a common
trait found in ogres. Hair can range from pitch black to light brown. Half-Ogres
have a typical lifespan of 75 years under normal circumstances, although some
have been known to surpass 100 years in age...this is extremely rare, but
not unheard of.
