I mean, an half-orc could get along with an elf; it would be harder if this half-orc is worshipping an orcish deity, even harder if this deity is Gruumsh himself, and quite impossible if he is a fanatic of Gruumsh. At this point, I think it would be hard to get along with anything else than an orc. About the mechanics, it depends how harsh is your DM. If he calls a balance check each round you are on a boat, it would be good to take a level or two of rogue. IN a general way, an half-orc, brutal pirate is a good idea. You could be using an heavy crossbow or a mighty composite longbow to attack foes when you are on your boat, and then drop it for your axe when you can melee them. As for the apparence, anything can be good, from the traditional bandana to the tricorn. If you plan on worshipping Gruumsh, an eye-patch is a must-have.
