Elves are considered to be one of the oldest Races in the world, both considering their long lifespans and rich history. Though they may appear similar to Humans, Elves do have distinct characteristics which set them apart from the average Homosapien, most visibly their long, pointed ears. This feature gives the Elves incredibly advanced hearing, and they also have the unique gift of naturally efficient eyesight as well, though this does mean their eyes are also designed reflect light, much like a Cat’s eye would. The average Elf generally lives to be around 700 to 800 years old, though some have been known to live even longer, and they only reach full maturity around the age of 60. They are slightly taller than humans, generally around 6 to 7 feet tall, and are far more slender, but their greater muscle density makes them equally as strong as the average human male regardless. Males and Females are about the same height, with Men being only slightly bulkier than Women. And despite being stereotyped as Pale with Light Hair, Elves have a variety of skin tones and hair colors, just like humans. Elves are also largely incapable of growing facial or body hair as well.

Elves are also considered a race that you should not trifle with, as they are known to be quite efficient fighters. Their enhanced senses and slender build make them remarkably agile and graceful. Elves can also go weeks without sleep, and are also relatively immune to sleep magick, making an ambush a very improbable choice. Culturally, Elves typically use Bows, Swords and Daggers when fighting, and are also remarkably good at duel-wielding, given their agility and heightened senses.

However, despite all of them sharing the pre-mentioned characteristics, there are 3 distinct types of Elves, all with their unique physical and cultural characteristics:

High Elves are the most common variety of Elf, and are generally what one typically thinks of when they hear the word. This variety typically makes their home among other Races or in grand kingdoms of their own. Their skin can range from snow-white pale to as golden as the sun, and they have a variety of hair colors as well, though lighter hair tends to be more common with this subspecies. High Elves are often stereotyped as stuck-up and arrogant, though they are also the most interconnected with the other Races, compared to the other varieties. 

Wood Elves are the second most common variety, though they are relatively rare compared to High Elves, as they make their home in the depths of Ancient Forests and can be rather unwelcoming to outsiders. This subspecies makes their living by hunting and working off of the forest land, and are only really known to trade with High Elves, as they are incredibly wary of other Races. Their skin ranges from relatively pale to black, and they often have freckles as well. The most common hair colors among Wood Elves range from Brown to Black to Red hair. And though reluctant to interact with outsiders, Wood Elves are generally said to have a great lust for adventure and a deep love for nature. 

Dark Elves, otherwise known as Drows, are the rarest variety of Elf. Generally making their home in caves or other dark places, Drows are stereotyped as the most evil of the subspecies, often thought to worship demons and pillage nearby towns and such, and thus they generally avoid other races in fear of persecution and mistreatment. Their skin is typically very dark, ranging from indigo to black, yet their hair is typically white, and their eyes range from a light yellow to a pale blue. And though they may be perceived as evil by other races, Drows have just as much internal variety as any other race. 

Elves also have their own unique language, uncreatively called ‘Elvish’:

Nobody at all:

Take them, steal them, modify them all you like.

In a city built into a long-dormant volcano, a new religion claims the deity of the lava is hungry and begins to engage in ritual sacrifices to the depths below.

In a world where all the shipwrecked and marooned eventually arrive on the same island, a mysterious new arrival offers teleportation magic to help a select few escape–on the condition that they aid in the rescue of the remaining islanders.

In a land ravaged by civil war between (group A) and (group B), a group of foreigners arrive to participate in ally negotiations, black market trade, or mercenary work. When they arrive, they find that less of this nation survived than they expected.

In a region where small-time mages run protection rackets and under-the-table trades, a group of strangers are hired to solve a case that threatens to topple the illegal spell component trade.

In a world where illegal necromancy is a hot topic of debate and the rights of the undead are under question, the “disposable” zombie miners go on strike, leaving the mines abandoned and rich for exploring.

One day a year, the Feywild and the Prime Material Plane merge, and the worlds are enveloped in merriment, carousing, and bacchanal madness before returning to normal. But this year, the worlds do not separate, and the safety of both planes is at great risk. 

In a feudalistic world where knights legally force peasants to fight alongside them against their foes, a town near an active gateway to the Abyss is sick and tired of being drafted as expendable soldiers in yet another holy war.

In a nation governed by corrupt and selfish royalty, a rebellious coalition schemes to take the country back into the hands of its people, but those involved have their own ulterior motives for joining up.

In a world where ruins of a long-dead civilization cover the land and mysterious artifacts are hidden everywhere, a mummified oracle breathes again to deliver one last prophecy with apocalyptic implications.

In a world where clockwork has replaced magic as the convenience-du-jour, an aging wizard places a curse in revenge; as all the clockwork machinery shuts down in a hundred-mile radius, the people are desperate for a solution, but time is running out.

GENASI VARIANTS —genasi’s are one of my favorite race to play and i’m constantly saddened by the discrepancy in balance between fire and the other three elements. So, for a while I’ve been chipping away at adding variants to the existing elemental genasi as well as splinter genasi that still fall under the same elemental banner!

as stated in the note on the actual document itself, a lot of the variants are flavor so they’re not as powerful as some of the others. it’s mainly just for your own customization and inspiration for different takes on a genasi character, i hope y’all enjoy!
