Elves And Elfin

This topic may cause some confusion as the word elves isn’t the name of a race, better known as the original elves, but is also use to refer a group of races all descendants from the original elves. To help ease the confusion this will cause we call modern elves elfin (it is both singular and plural) and the original elves just elves when talking about them. We will also divine this up into sections one dealing with the elfin races and the other dealing with the elves.

Elfin Elfin races are a group of epic humanoid mystics who are descendants of the elves and have physical traits share almost them. Now let’s be clear there are far too many elfin races to list them down in one entry so we will only talk about what traits both physically and culturally share as to better understand them as whole. Biology Elfin are normally around 1.524m(5ft) with some races being smaller or rarely bigger, and they all have long pointed ears and large glowing eyes of one solid color. Their hands and feet only have four digits instead of the human five, and they also have blue blood. They come in a variety of pastel colors which server as quick and easy way to identify want elfin race you’re dealing with as the don’t different too much in their coloration per race, and while they have both facial hair and scalp they don’t have any body hair at all. They also all have the following physical traits.

Long Live: Elfin live for about 800 years, they reach adult around 110 years old. This long lifespan means that long at everything in the long term which come back to bit them many times. As the view often makes it hard for them to act fast when needed.

Iron Allergy: Strangely elfin have this allergy that causes them to blister and burn when they come into contact with it. It doesn’t seem to affect them however when it is used to make other metals, so elfin can use streel just fine.

Eleven Eyes: Elfin have amazing eye sight easily on par with that of falcons, and thanks no magical base bioluminescent in their eyes (that why they glow) they can see in the dark just fine. Eleven Hearing: The elfin hearing range is equal to that of wolves.

Rhythm: Elfin are very skill at singing, dancing, and rhyming, so good in fact they can and do literally break out in song and dance numbers like some kind of musical. This also makes it fairly easy for them to learn musical instruments and most elfin do know how to play many different instruments. Now the reason they can do this isn’t fully understood but elfin do have a form of synesthesia that allows them to see music as colors and many believe this at least part of the reason for it.

Eleven Reflexes: Elfin hand eye coordination is incredible by human standers, even untrained elfin can shoot the wings of a robin with ease using almost any kind of hand held range weapon. Eleven Movement: All elfin are about three times faster than humans in term of running speed and they can also jump about three times their body length. Combine this with the fact that they are hypermobility and have highly developed proprioception and equilibrioception senses means that elfin are extremely good at things like parkour and gymnastics.

Hollow Bones: One of the reasons why elfin are so fast is because of their hollow bones. This means they are lighter than their size would suggest but it also means they are less durable and strong than they look. In fact, humans are stronger and more durable than them.

Sleep immunity: Elfin can’t be put to sleep by any magical means, they can still be unconscious by other means.

Spell Resistance: Elfin are immune to charm and illusion spells, and are resistance to other spells effects.

Low Ferritin: Due very odd physical feature of the females elfin have low birth rates. You see their wombs when not pregnant will strangely detach from the rest of their reproductive system and slowly move deeper into their bodies and then descent to reattach. Only giving elfin a small window to breed before it detaches again. The oddest part is that the females have no nature way to tell when this window happens and for the longest time no one knew why elfin have this feature. But now this and many other mysteries of the elfin have been solve. They are also monotremes.

Elfin Culture

All elfin cultures come from the same source, the once mighty elf empire that cover countless worlds. Therefore, it isn’t surprising to learn that all of the many different elfin cultures share something in common. However, it’s important to note that the elfin about to enter a huge cultural revolution, no matter how much they may not want to, because of an amazing discovery from the days of the elf empire that answers so many questions of their past. But because this is still a very new development we will talk about it later under the elf part and for now only talk about what has been turn about all elfin culture for countless millennia.

In Decline: The elf empire had who knows how many worlds under their control all under the command of their now destroy home world, but than a civil war broke out between two sides one known as the seelie and the unseelie. When it was over their empire was gone and the those that later became the elfin enter a dark age, this is why all elfin civilizations calm their people have been on a slow decline ever sense. This isn’t true however, as the elfin civilizations have been slowly one the raise ever sense their dark ages, even if they are nowhere near the level the elf empire was at but trying to point this out to elfin rarely works. This has cause many races to believe that the elfin are a bough of crybabies.

Slow To Adapted: The greatest weakest of the elfin civilizations is how slow it takes them to adapt or just react to anything. This puts them at a huge disadvantage when dealing with sudden events, why they are so slow to do so while other long live or immortal races don’t seem to have this problem, to this degree anyway, was unknown for the longest time. Of course, now we have a good idea as to why they are like this now thanks to the big discovery but we will get to that later.

Ancestor Worship: Regardless of what religions are found in their civilizations all elfin worship their ancestors the original elves. Of course, this doesn’t mean they are worship them the same and fact this one the biggest problems elfin face when working with one another. For you see each elfin race calm that they are the most like the elves in looks, culture, and magic, and the others elfin races are just inferior copies. This has also cause problems with studying the elves as the elfin rarely allow other races to do so and will ignore any evidence or theory that doesn’t fit their ideas of the immortal elves that was just like them in every way. Which is a view that is causing them trouble now that we know what the elves are really like.

Hatred Of Goblinoids: All elfin civilizations have a deep seeded hatred of the goblinoids races, and when ask why the answer is normally that the goblinoids took advantage of them during the dark ages and they have been at war ever sense. Of course this may change now that it is known that the goblinoids are also descendants or may get worse, only time can tell.

Music Lovers: It should be of no surprise that with their abilities that elfin have a strong love of music and that it plays a part in everything they do. In fact, all elfin are taught how to play no less than five different musical instruments as children.

Low Opinion Of Others: Elfin think very highly of themselves and very lowly of others. Each elfin race see themselves as the perfect race, other elfin races as inferior copies, and all other races as less then that. In fact the only non-elfin race that they come closer to treating like another elfin race are the dwarves who could also be descendants of the elves, but they aren’t stupid. So, while they not like non-elfin they know must work and ally with them no matter how much they may not want to. This is without a doubt the main reason why elfin are not well like almost other races.

Dairy Obsession: All elfin civilizations have a strange obsession with dairy products, in fact every one of their civilizations base their currency on a gallon whole milk. Why they are like this is unknown as dairy is no more nutritious to them as it is to humans nor are they addicted to it like some joke, they don’t suffer from lactose intolerant so that maybe part of the reason.

Elves

Elves were a mystery for countless millennial, it was known that they were advanced empire that had countless worlds under their rule and that they were one of the first if not the first humanoid races to travel the stars. However, that is almost all that is known about the for sure as everything else about said about came from the elfin and were mere theories, till it was found. While out exploring a group of adventurers found a whole world frozen in stasis, an elf world. One dotted with cities and towns fill with elves ready to awaken, and when the adventurers saw this they knew what they must do. They track the source of the magic that kept the world stasis to some power artifact and destroy it, releasing the world an awakening the elves. Afterwards, the adventurers bravely walk out with their heads held high to be the first to see elves in millennial ready to see the elfin like beings and ready to meet the stories of the elfin in the flesh, they won’t ready to meet who they did.

Elfin are not a very diverse in terms of looks, different color palettes mean different races which isn’t normally the case with other mystic races. They are however very diverse in terms of what magic they can use, so diverse in fact that most non-elfin believed that the elves must have been a general magic race for their descendants to be like this. So, the adventurers who free the elves were ready to meet beings who look and acted like modern elfin only to discover that this wasn’t what elves were like at all. Instead what they got were beings with elfin features, namely their ears, with scaly pastel color skin, spikey hair which was also pastel, snake like eyes, patches of body hair so thick they could only be call fur, arms as long and muscled as their legs ending with four digits hands and feet that were huge going by humans stands, and nails that were more like talons, and a mouth fill with strong fangs, and the women had pouches on their bellies to carry their young and eggs. And those are just the features all elves have they are far more diverse, just look at their colors and sizes for more. In the color department that come extremely wide array of pastel colors, patterns, and designs, and their size range are so diverse that adults’ height ranges from 30.48 cm(1ft) to 6.096m(20ft). Than there the fact of that some of them have extra parts in the forms of tails, wings, horns, antlers, antenna, spines, spikes, fins, feathers, and tentacles of all types and kinds, as well multiple copies of other body parts. This isn’t even counting how their abilities and culture differs.

Biology

Besides the ways already said elves differ from elfin in a few other ways, first being that they are legendary mystics and that the fact that unlike the elfin races, and most mystics for that matter, their race can use more than one type of magic. Bizarrely magic types to elves seem to work the similar to blood types for other races and there are elves for every type of magic, meaning that as whole the elf race can use all magic types. Beside this elves have almost all the same abilities as elfin except for iron allergy, hollow bones, and low ferritin (their wombs don’t detach), they also have the following abilities in addition to the elfin abilities.

Super Strength: While elfin are weaker than humans this is definitely not the case for elves. When the elves were first awaken the adventurers who did it saw a human size elf grounded a solid cement block into dusk with one bare hand. How much stronger elves are to humans haven’t yet been able to determent.

Powerful Bite: Elves have fang fill jaws powerful enough to bite though steel beams, and we know this for a fact because elves eat steel beams.

Immortal: Elves are immortal but not by nature, they have found a way to make themselves so. However this is so key in to their biology it doesn’t seem to work on other races.

Manna Armor: Elves generate a form of force field around their bodies that absorb most damage that is throw at elves, giving a form of damage reduction. However, it can only absorb so much damage at one time.

Super Durability: Even without their manna armor elves very durable, one elf was able to take multiple shotgun blasts with no harm at all when their manna armor was down. It is of yet unknown just how durable they are.

Metal And Rock Eater: As well as the things most humanoids eat elves also eat rocks and many different kind of metals. It is believe that this could be why they are so strong and durable.

Elf Culture

After getting over the elves physical appearance, and the fact they were all wearing kilts instead of pants and no shoes, the adventures their magical universal translator to hear the words of wisdom of the elves, and immediately thought they were broken. For the what they heard was a mix of unintelligible gibberish, some of the worst swears imaginable, and a mix of animalist noises in the form of roars, howls, growls, hisses, barks, and purrs. They later found that the elf language relines heavy on slang terms that are more confusing then cockney and animalist sounds, the swearing is just something they do, all the time. To that elves are rough around the edges are putting lightly, they are a strong will and independent people, who are surprisingly very open minded. In fact being music lovers and having an strange obsessing with dairy are the only things they have in common elfin culture. And being just free we are still learning about said culture but here are a few things we have learn about them.

No Pants, Kilts Only: Elves seem to hate pants for some reason and will even use the term pant wearer as insult. Because of this they will only wear kilts unless they have no choice, beware they rarely wear underwear. Also, they don’t wear shoes often but don’t seem to hate it.

Strong Will And Spoken: The elves are very strong will and even stronger spoken people. They don’t mix words and aren’t afraid to let others know what they think and feel.

The Civil War: Before we start on we have learn from the elves about the civil war that destroyed their empire it is important to note that the elves awaken were all from one side, the unseelie, but there were some elves who defected from the seelie side to the unseelie side. According to the elves what cause the war was when the political party call the seelie took control of their government and stated their new plan to expand the empire. They wanted to clone elves in mass as part of a caste system they claim would expand their empire to all the reaches of the universe. Most of the elves were against this but the seelie had the authority and begin creating the clones anyway, that when the other elves started the unseelie for the sole purpose of stopping this. The war when on for many centuries, and how it ended is still unknown as it was still going when these elves were trap in stasis.

The True Original Of The Elfin: Many of the elves that defected from the unseelie were clones. Clones with the same solid color eyes of the elfin and other elfin features that make them look like a missing link between them and them elves, because they were. It turns out all modern elfin are direct descendants of the clone elves and this explain many of their differences form the elves. The wandering womb they have were made to help control their numbers, their eyes were made to help tell them apart from the normal elves, their hollow bones were made to make them weaker than normal elves to keep them in line, many of modern elfin culture traits came from how the clone elves castes were use and train, and their iron allergy came about because there were only a few strains cloned in each caste and this came about to do inbreeding.

The True Original Of The Goblinoids: It turns out that goblinoids are the degenerate descendants of elves who was exposed to bio, chemical, nuclear, and curse weapons use by the seelie during the war. There are some elves almost the unseelie who were expose to these things that can be use as proof of this, and the fact that goblinoids are everywhere today doesn’t speak to well to how the war ended.

Elves Relations With Others

The show time the elves have been back hasn’t allow them much time to get any form of relates almost today races, but they are trying and for the most part they seem to be going well. However, there are some races that elves have develop relates with that deserve to be talk about.

With Dwarves: Surprisingly the elves seem to get along well with the dwarves for the most, this is partly do the fact that the elves claim that out of all their descendants the dwarves are the only ones who make a good drink. The dwarves on the other hand are another matter, for one despite the new genetic evidence proving that they are in fact descendants of the elves they refuse to believe it for both religion reasons and the fact they don’t like the idea of being related to the elfin and the goblinoids. Plus, the elves are still very new to them which isn’t something they like, but on the other hands the elves have powerful magic and advanced technology so getting on their good sides would be very profitable in the long run. Which is something the dwarves like very much.

With Goblinoids: The elves have made it a mission to better the lives of their goblinoid descendants anyway they can, and the goblinoids so far have all responded well to this. No doubt because the elves have treated them with genuine respect, and kindness which isn’t something the goblinoids are used to from other races. So the two groups get along just fine and it seems this will only get better as time goes on.

With Elfin: The elves relationship with the elfin is complicated to say the least, and is best sum up with the story of their first interaction with one another. When new got out of the elves awaken every single elfin civilization got together to welcome them in a massive diplomatic meeting with nothing less but their best there for both the official of welcoming back the ancestors and the unofficial to prove that their civilization was the true descendants of the elves and all other elfin civilizations were just pale imitations. The elves in turn send their best as well and after meeting everything diplomat from everything elfin civilization the head elf diplomat in front of all declare and I quote, “You’re all a bunch of pants wearing stuck up pansy gits who wouldn’t know a good time if it bites your faces off!” She then head butted every single adult elfin in the building into unconscious while stealing all the dairy and booze, this instantly made the elves will like by other races. The elfin however were unamused and most of their civilizations have gone on record of saying that these elves are not real elves but a bunch pretender that are living in the real elves old homes and are slandering the names of their ancestors. Some have every told the elves that if they don’t turn over their world to them, the real elves as they say, and don’t stop calling themselves elves then they will have no choice but to go to war with them, the elves in turn have just laugh and told them to bring it on. So far nothing have come of this due to the fact while the elfin are trying to denial it there is no doubt that these are the real elves, and there is doubt that elfin simply can’t work together well enough to beat the elves, who could easily crush them.
