In both cases, their kids are probably going to have brown eyes - brown eye genes are dominant over blue. BUT, when their kids get together to have children, each kid would donate one of their two chromosomes to their sex cells, resulting in 3 out of 4 combinations being brown-eyed, but 1 out of 4 being blue-eyed.Since the Orc and Elf characteristics tend to be dominate in their respective half-offspring, one would imagine that there are four main possibilities for offspring, each with about a 1 in 4 chance of occurring: 1 Half-Elf (received Elf chromosomes from Half-Elf parent, human ones from Half-Orc), 1 Half-Orc (the opposite of the previous), 1 Half-Orc-Half-Elf (received the respective chromosomes from both parents, with no or few human ones involved, and 1 Human (both parents donated human chromosomes.)Of course, since you're actually dealing with quite a few chromosome pairs, you could still end up with a few minor attributes of the other progenitors cropping up, but for the largest part, it would map as above...</blockquote>
