Elf-Orc, Noble (3.5e Race)

Noble Elf-Orcs

Personality

The Noble Elf-Orc is a race created by magic when a powerful Elvish wizard took pity on the way he observed Orcs living. This race was created as an attempt to give the Orcs leaders that could further the advancement of Orc civilization and culture, with the hope that they will one day be free from their savage ways. A typical Noble Elf-Orc is a natural-born leader, the entire race was designed to integrate seamlessly into Orc society. Noble Elf-Orcs have a slight edge of savagery to them, but it is not nearly as prevalent in their personality as that of their Orc brethren. They are made to be the primitive artists, scientists, and innovators of Orc society, or at least attempt to be. However, many Noble Elf-Orcs shun their Orcish brethren and at times have been known to form communities of their own.

Physical Description

Because the Noble Elf-Orc race was created to serve a specific purpose, they are not a true biological hybrid of elves and orcs. They simply have features made to resemble both races. They resemble orcs enough to make the typical orc believe that they are orcs, but a more intelligent creature would likely notice some distinct differences. The typical male Noble Elf-Orc stands around 5 3/4 and 6 3/4 feet tall, weighing around 150-190 pounds. Females generally stand at 5-5 1/2 and weigh around 110-150 pounds. They are not as heavily built as Orcs due to their elven features. Their skin has the same qualities of that of an orc, with grayish-green pigmentation, while their frame is similar to that of an elf, except taller. They generally have angular Elvish facial features combined with the Orcish prominent teeth and jawline. Unlike orcs, their body hair is no more prominent than that of an elf. Noble Elf-Orcs reach maturity at age 16 and can live to around 125 years old.

Relations

Noble Elf-Orcs tend to get along well with other races, but because their primary purpose is to serve the Orc community, they tend to not have much relation with other races and are often mistaken for half-orcs.

Alignment

Generally chaotic good.

Lands

Noble Elf-Orcs tend to be most comfortable living in warmer climates. With no true land to call their own, they tend to live in areas dominated by the savage humanoids, as many of them never realize that they are not actually orcs.

Religion

Noble Elf-Orcs have a difficult relationship with the gods Orcs tend to worship, as their purpose is to civilize the orcs which directly contrasts with Orcish gods' destructive tendencies.

Languages

Common, Orcish.

Names

Noble Elf-Orcs are usually thought by orcs to be simply members of their race that are born different, so they generally acquire names in the way that most orcs do.

Once per level per day,a Noble Elf-Orc can temporarily drain any his Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, or any combination of those three, of each stat, to add to his Strength score.
