Ventru

Ventru are the rare hybrid which results from the crossing of an orc and an elf. Born of hatred and violence, the ventru are shunned by both their parents. As such, they tend to aim at survival above all.

Personality

Ventru are conflicted creatures, always very distant-minded. They tend to be very quiet, not wanting to disturb, and more importantly, not wanting to be disturbed. Incredibly temperamental, they do not back down from threats, but rather, relish them, as it gives them an opportunity to hurt someone, to lash out against the world and what they believe to be its injustice.

Physical Description

Ventru are quite tall, usually standing between 6 foot 3 to 6 foot 9, and are almost always remarkably well muscled. They combine the ferocious features of an orc with the natural beauty of an elf and have completely pupilless, empty eyes. This, more than anything else, makes people suspicious of the ventru. Some ventru have a slightly green tint to their skin or slight tusks, depending on who their orcish ancestor was. Those ventur are the exception, not the rule though. They tend to favor weapons which reflect their ambiguous nature, often using axes as well as swords.

Relations

Ventru tend to have terrible relations with most other races, and even among each other. Elves hate them because they are orcs, orcs hate them because they are elves, and others treat them with all the prejudice of both. The only races which they can tolerate and which tolerate them are often the other half-breeds, half-elves and half-orcs particularly. They do however, strive desperately to be accepted, and are almost always turned down by all.

Alignment

Ventru tend to be chaotic, only caring for themselves, often at the cost of others. A few however, either choose to embrace the savagery within them, or to suppress it, becoming paladins and the like.

Lands

Ventru have no lands, and usually get kicked out of any they stay too long in. Barring some very open human cities, they tend to suffer heavy discrimination. Unlike half-orcs, who usually live with either the orcs or humans, or half-elves, who can form their own communities, ventrus can do neither, as they are hated by both their parents, and are too few in number to form an independent community.

Religion

Ventrus tend to hate the gods that made them suffer so much, especially Elven and Orcish ones. As such, ventru clerics and paladins are rare, but when present, epitomize the embodiment of good.

Language

Ventru speak Elven and Orcish, and have the ability to learn all languages from both sides. However, they tend to prefer common, and will use Elvish and Orcish only in extreme circumstances.

Names

Ventru names are a combination of the guttural sounds of Orc names with the poetry like flow of the Elven tongue.
