while working out some back story to my toon i got to thinking, about brothers and stuff like that, then it dawned on me about a half-ling, or an adoptive brother/sister
the second part does not sound so unreasonable, as it is rather common for children of any race being sheltered by others (so say i BE family taking in an orc as there own)
but what about half-lings, so like an off shoot of a dishonorable act made by a BE women and an orc man, would that be possible in RP i ask myself, and i answer with i dont know, maybe these lovely people may know

i said dishonerable, for the fact, during war things happen, things the BE women would have been un able to stop, and from it came a half-ling, and not just BE and Orc, but Nelf/human or human/gnome

A half night elf is, by the timeline, ten years old
at the most
. So, you can't roleplay those. Half breeds are certainly viable in the lore, but within certain regulations. Most of the time, it's easier not to roleplay a half breed - as the roleplaying community frowns upon it as a whole because it's been done so badly most of the time, that any decent roleplayers doing it are also discredited (similar to dragons, really).
Edit: Possible, but you've got to work out your justification for their survival. Firstly, why did the mother not abort it? Secondly, where did it grow up? Half orcs would be shunned from elven society and probably the diminished orcish society after the Second War too, and thirdly where/how did he become a shaman? How did the arcane/fel addiction affect them? As I said, it's easier to just go without making half breeds.

it is a challenge i want to take up, i want to creat 3 brother 2 BE and a half bread, but i wasn't unsure if it could be done. reason why she didnt abort would be easy, she couldnt let what had happened effect her, she would show that through everything that has happened she is still strong and proud, how could she show she was strong and proud, if she didnt take on raising a child she didnt want, then she would be no better than the bastard orc that did this to her

...by any normal means if you want to say that the first time a human and a night elf has ever met was at Hyjal. Which I severely doubt is the
first
time. There are always special cases.
man I should just shut up, I dug myself into a pit already
Don't you also roleplay a dragon... and a half-dragon?
... and I now feel like an @ss...

List of the Half-Breed races.
You have to make choices depending on when the RP is meant to be; the idea of a half orc and half night elf, or half night elf and half human or dwarf are low to nil, and would only exist in future flung settings. There's also the races that it becomes a hatred thing; half-orcs(human and orc parentage) are treated badly by both sides for the most part: Humans see them as monsters, Orcs see them as freaks and weaklings.
I have a few half-breed characters and if you want to use one, you have to think on history, how the parent races treat other races and all the rest. Not a good choice for a beginner.

Wow... uh...
I honestly don't think I have ever made an OP'd character. I have made a crapload of underpowered ones, but my closest to OP was a DBZ character who was sorrounded by even more OP characters.

To be fair, this was a Scourge RP with Morec in his full powered state so...survival mechanism; Straz was also a member of the Twilight Hammer who was bringing the secret of Lich'ing back to C'thun lol.
