Pathfinder 1E Orc/nymph character?

Moid

First Post
I have an Orc in a pathfinder game that has been raped by a Nymph, and the Nymph got pregnant. I want to have the Orc/Nymph child as a reserve character. My GM says that it’s just a half- Orc but, I think that it should get something from the Nymph. What should the race build be for that?

By the way, this is my first pen and paper, so I’m kind of a newbie.

Thank you in advance

Go hard core opposite the nymph due to the father being an orc.

Take a couple of levels off due to racial bonuses (d20 system rules) and give the character the ability to Blind upon sight. But instead of blindness due to overwhelming beauty your PC blinds from ugliness. They are simply revolting.

Then simply stay cloaked and work out how that might work as concealment for line of sight when opened partially.
 

This may be overwhelming for a newbie but there is a book that might be able to help: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedRaceGuide/raceBuilder.html

If you want to keep it simple, there is a trick I used to do when playing 3E back in the day (3E being the origin of Pathfinder).

Look the racial stats in the book that match what you want to do and simply use them and call yourself a "half nymph" or whatever. Off the top of my head I'd say the half-elf stats might best portray an orc/nymph, just because half-elves are already part fey and part something else.

One portion of the stat block I feel it is safe to ignore, but might seem important to a newbie is this:

Elf Blood: Half-elves count as both elves and humans for any effect related to race.

In all the games I've played in all these years, I think this has come up maybe once. Maybe. Off the top of my head I can only think of one reason it is even important, but I wont derail this anymore by explaining that.
