Some of the information here references orcs as opposed to half-orcs, because it directly impacts the upbringing and demeanor of the half-orcs themselves. There are groups of half-orcs that can be found in different areas of Hyboria. They can be violent and unpredictable, but they are nothing compared to their orc parent. Half-orcs have one human parent and one orc parent. Nearly all half-orcs are raised by their human parent, unless the parent is an arcanus or, sometimes, a gray orc. Half-orcs raised among humans tend to have more patience and civility than half-orcs who are raised among orcs. The general belief amongst those raised with orcs, if they aren't outright killed by the orcs (without a lore exception that is approved by admins, you cannot be a half-orc raised by orcs), is that the strong survive, and those who cannot defend themselves must be subjugated by those who can. Males run these societies, but there are occasionally females who, through combat and skill, rise up in the ranks of leaders. The different types of orcs will dictate their personality and their demeanor. Arena-bred orcs are going to tend toward violence, but gray orcs and arcanus orcs have had a more civilized upbringing.
If you are a standard half-orc, you come from one of the three sub-types (mountain/gray/jungle).
