Well, half-ogre are tolerated in this world. If you read my other game, the village of Prumen, there is an NPC Half-Ogre living in a small village at the northern border of the country. He doesn't fit well with the villager, some are scared of him. He was the cook in a lumberjack camp and came to town once a weeks or so to buy food for the camp.
So I have no problem with such a character. I don't see your signature, but if I remember correctly half-ogre have a +1 lvl adjustment making him a 1st level wizard.

Appearance
Brancista is taller than most elves, standing at 5’ 5”. His pale skin is sharply contrasted by the deep blue clothes that he prefers to wear.
Brancista is usually reserved in social situations, saying little and observing situations and people. However, with close friends and comrades, he becomes quite atypical for an elf, and talks and jokes with them.
Background
Brancista was born a citizen of Axyr, to two well-respected wizards. His early childhood focused on preparing him for the intense study of the wizardly art, as it was with his father, and his father before him. He studied ancient texts at the Great Library, deciphered mysterious languages, and learned about all things arcane.
Though he was a quick study and showed promise as a potential wizard, Brancista felt that there was something missing, that he was different than his peers. While his peers would spend their off hours reviewing their lessons or practicing, Brancista would tinker with locks and other gadgets, or discreetly observe and follow people, to validate his conjectures about them. During one of his “observational missions”, Brancista’s life plan came into sharp focus. He had trailed one of his teacher’s to the Great Library, but had lost her amidst the many bookcases. Not wanting to have the day be a complete waste, Brancista took some books down from the shelves to peruse them. One of the books, entitled “The memoirs of a professional scout”, immediately caught his eye. The book discussed the rather successful, but short by elven standards, career of a human scout, including the methods by which he found his success. The book detailed the application of disguises, the use of illusions to aid scouting, and the best weapons to carry when the scouting takes a turn for the worse. Brancista spent the rest of the day, reading and re-reading this book, as he thought how in tune he was with it.
Completely changed by the book, Brancista’s motivation and effort dropped dramatically in his wizard studies, as he spent all available hours building disguises and tailing people. Only when the topics were centered on illusions, would Brancista’s interest pique, and he would dive into the lesson with complete and utter focus. This continued for a decade before Brancista’s parents could no longer afford to ignore Brancista’s poor performance in his wizardly studies. They presented him with a choice, to put his full effort into all of his wizardly studies, or leave. Brancista chose to leave.
Finding himself an exile from his family, Brancista quickly tried to blend into his new surroundings. He began to take odd jobs deciphering texts, building/repairing locks, and investigating people. He also found himself, on occasion, in the employ of Axyrian militia, acting as a scout. On his off hours, Brancista would work on more elaborate disguises and use his preliminary arcane training to experiment with illusions to enhance those disguises. After several years of practice and honing his skills, Brancista mastered both the art of trailing people, scouting, and harnessing of magic, most notably the magic of illusions.
