Human + half elf parents would be fine.
I just thought of a way how to have a half elf char in a more or less normal family.
The idea was that his family rules over somevillages in the middle of nowhere.
He leaves because the place is boring as hell and a future of ruling over some villages is beneath him.
He seeks glory to increase his social position. There must be a way to improve your title, like rising from the son of a baron to be a count.
