Elf

Elves are a race of forest-dwelling people. Their most notable feature are their pointed ears, slim build, and above-average height. Elves are a secluded and sometimes cold race. They were the last ones to join the war, and prefer to avoid conflict. They are one of the most technologically and magically advanced races.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Elves are similar to humans, but are taller, have pointed ears, and often will appear paler (excepting elves with darker skin tones.)

Genetics and Reproduction

Elves reproduce like humans do, but take no pleasure in it, seeing it simply as a condition that they must fulfill in order to survive.

Civilization and Culture

Average Technological Level

Elves are one of the most, if not the most technologically advanced race, second only to angels. Their medicinal and scientific fields are beyond any other race's by thousands of years; in fact, part of the reason elves live so long is because of medication that can extend their lifespan (though even without it, they can live to be 200). They have created tangible lights that don't require electricity or fire, and have even begun research on organic machines, plant life, even, instead of machines made of metal. However, while most of their technology is highly advanced, their weapons technology and magic are severely lacking, due to them being a mostly peaceful race. They, of course, will not tell anyone anything about their technology.

Major Language Groups and Dialects

Elven

Common Dress Code

Elves wear very ronservative clothing, typically blue or green robes, sometimes hooded, that reach from the collarbone to the ankle. Anything different would draw stares or looks of disapproval from other elves.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Elves do no exchange with creatures from Hell, humans, pixies, naga, lamia, driders, or their own darker counterparts. Trade or conversation with dwarves is sparse. They are much more friendly with nature spirits like dryads, naiads, nereids, and oceanids, and will often stop by their lake or tree to talk. In general, however, elves are wary of other races, almost as much as centaur. Expect talks to be quick and terse.
