Ugly Half-Orc Backstory

[ProfessorCirno]

Yeah, some of the fey (or wild-loving) long-lifers taking pity on crude, short-lived humans.

I wouldn't want to be the result of a pity-****, either. However, that's what gave us John Connor, so it's not all bad.

This is what I find so hilarious about the "Half-orcs are bad because they imply rape" thing.

Because the traditional fey made orc rape look kind and gentle in comparison.

All I can say is that I occasionally see the "ladies of the evening/eyebleach" threads on fark, so I guess just about anything is possible.

Man I shot coffee through my nose...Sacred Hamburger. I can't wait til OOTS converts to 4E....or will it go to Pathfinder?

But still, you gotta have some funny taste to find these guys 'snuggly green cutie pies'![sblock]

[/sblock]
But then again having seen what is available on the internets, some peoples taste in these matters is pretty out there

Well, yeah. None of those are the womenfolk. QED.

But half-elves have far more to do with Elrond and Elros than with the traditional fey. And their parents were all about the love.

"I wouldn't hit it. That orc has sharp knees."

Some good points...

One variation on the rich/strong orc husband is that many women in various situations would be quite happy to have a husband who can protect them against other men, or protect the home, or... or the countless reasons other than romance.

Even a nasty orc could be preferable to the alternatives.

An interesting answer to the usual "IF the PCs kill all the war-like male orcs, and leave the female and young... what happens to them?"

The paladin at first plans to bring them to a nearby church but things get in the way and soon the party has a small group of orc families joining them in Wacky Misadventures©!

They marry the dirty hippy orcs and breed a generation of orcish flower-children.

 

[DandD]

They will breed the Orcs back to Elves... No wait, D&D-Orcs aren't vile ugly elves tortured by some ancient evil... Hmmm...

I had in one setting actually a post-war game. Where the Orcs and other "monstrous races" won.

As such, many cities created huge orphanages for the now orphaned human children. One of the characters was one such child and as he grew up there he began to see through the propaganda humans had spread during the war about Orcs.

It was quite a fun setting actually having humans being a nearly wiped out, warrish and racist people. While Orcs, Trolls, Gnolls, Goblins, Hobgoblins, etc. were the civilized and industrious people (but still had their original traits in some form).
