Half-Elf

Half-elves are the offspring of a union between a human and an elf, though they are also able to breed with each other. Half-elves possess qualities of both parents and as a result often find it hard to fit into either culture. 
==Physical Description==
Half-elves combine the features of their human and elf parents. They are typically tall, and possess pointed ears, though not as prominently as true elves. Their features are unsually attractive for a human but not to the extreme extent of an elf. 
Their skin and hair color typically resemble that of their human parent. For example, a half-elf born of a Fortunan parent will possess their red hair and fair skin. It is common then for half-elves to resemble humans from the nations where elves most frequently pass through, namely Fortuna and the Badlands. While rare, black half-elves born from an Orcan parent do exist. 
Like elves, half-elves live quite long, though not as long as true elves. The maximum life span is typically around 300 years and, like elves, their hair turns completely white by the time they turn 200. Unlike elves however, half-elves typically do not show other outward signs of aging such as wrinkled skin until their final decade of life. 
==Culture & Customs==
Due to the circumstances of their birth, half-elves do not possess a real culture of their own and often try, with varying degrees of success, to fit into elf and human circles.
