He is restless at heart, feeling the call of his savage nature, yet at the same time he feels the need to restrain it, due to his human heritage.His high Charisma was reflected on:a) his personal grooming - close cropped hair, a nice robe.b) his animal magnetism - he liked to go shirtless, and he knew his phisique garnered some looks of awe... or more... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />c) his manner of speech - he wasn't illiterate, and he always addressed his elders with deference.d) the fact that he KNEW people would be afraid of him because he was a 7-foot-tall half-orc. And he used that fear to his advantage.As for how to emulate a race's preference for members of their own race, the DM just needs to adjust the NPC reaction. A NPC dwarf sergeant might be Unfriendly towards most people, but be Indifferent towards gnomes and Friendly towards other dwarves. No need to keep track of varying Cha bonuses, just prepare such reactions based on what races are in the party. So an Orc might be Hostile to most races, but be Indifferent to a half-orc, making the half-orc the best spokesperson while in savage humanoid lands.</blockquote>
