So....I'm looking for advice. I've got myself into what is looking to be a great Skull & Shackles game here on the forums. My problem is I'm trying to decide on race. I'm really strongly divided between 1/2 elf & 1/2 orc, and I'm not really sure which to choose.
I'm definitely going into the idea that this skald will have been raised on a ship, initially as a cabin boy, growing through a tough captain's guidance into a valued member of the crew. As is prone to happen in the Steaming Sea, his ship was destroyed, and he was one of only a handful of survivors (none of whom were wise enough or skilled enough to try and lead what remained of the crew).
Feeling wanderlust, the young individual basically roamed around, trying to find himself a new ship. Sadly, that new ship led him to being captured and sold multiple times as unwilling crew on unscrupulous vessels. His most recent experience gave him enough gold to buy his freedom, and he fled to the only area he felt was a safe option, with at least slavers being (he expected) blatant: The Shackles.
Anyways, with that short intro bit for him, I'll leave people to give me which they would give the vote for, as far as race (or if there's one I'm missing entirely), and why they would be suggesting this one.
