I am trying to create my first character for this world and I have some questions regarding playing a half-orc in this world.

1.Are they automatically treated with hostility by everyone?
2.Do they have to come from some violent relationship between orc and human?
3.Do orcs and half-orcs hold jobs as others or are they just treated as mercenaries and fighters?
4.Are there any limitations to the gods they can follow?

I ask this because I am looking to play a cleric/fighter who worships Mist. I don't want to get into my backstory too much on here, but I am looking to play him as more of a martial type cleric who really isn't too comfortable on the sea, but is really into the chaotic nature of Mist. Not that I want to play a TN or CN character to start with, but eventually I will probably try to take him in that direction.

In creating my back story I would like for him to have a fairly normal childhood, or at least as normal as can be expected for a half-orc. So if there are any restrictions that will warrent me not doing this please let me know.

thanks in advance.
