1.Are they automatically treated with hostility by everyone?
No, but some will. Many are more likely to show disdain or look down upon you than outright hostility and most will probably ignore it. The adventurers of Hlint are a pretty rugged bunch.
Reminder: when roleplaying hostility between characters bear in mind it should stay In Character and between characters NOT players.
2.Do they have to come from some violent relationship between orc and human?
No - but the background should be plausible (in the Terry Prachett sense of the word
). Layonara is a unique setting and players (new and old) are adviced to read the stickies in the submittance forum. I would strongly recommend reading the Layonara Campaign Handbook if you wish to create a rich and detailed background for you character.
It can be found here:
http://www.layonaraonline.com/downloads.asp3.Do orcs and half-orcs hold jobs as others or are they just treated as mercenaries and fighters?
Again no - they can and do hold many varied jobs. Again the word is
appropriate for the Layonara setting.
4.Are there any limitations to the gods they can follow?
No, but not all gods would be appropriate. The deity section on the forum pages will give you an overview of the gods.
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.
Excellent choice of deity – I can only commend you for choosing Mist.
Most think solely of the seas when it comes to Mist but She also governs rebellion, storms & winds and Her chaotic nature is a defining aspect of Mist - to quote the deity section: “Clerics of Mist believe in allowing nature to run rampant in all of its chaotic glory”.
Remember to read the cleric sticky before submitting your character:
