Eldar

An eldar in both forms

The Eldar have seen the birth and destruction of many stars and civiliations. Their race is limited of number and near extinction.

## Background

At the center of the universe, at the heart of creation, the first sentient life-form was created.  The Eldar are the most wise and once ruled the early galaxy. Their interference directly or indirectly shaped the psionic development of all other races.

#### The Firstborn

When the first of the stars were created, the Eldar awoke. In an early universe which was unpredictable and dangerous. But exactly due to the high concentration of energy, the Eldar were able to evolve in more advanced ways than any creature could in the current reality.

They are incredibly advanced beings and they are biologically immortal. Most deaths in their society come from accidents, war or radiation. This comes with the trade-off of very slow reproduction rate.

They were the first to settle the stars, but encountered little competition from other life forms. They did notice others evolved and reproduced at much higher rates as they did, causing concern in their society.  As different ideas on how to handle this threat arose and factions were formed, the Eldar were bound to take evolution in their own hands.

#### Psionic Superiority

To nullify the threats of other civilizations, the Eldar sought to perfect their Psionic capabilities, something other races had not developed. Most eldar factions sought this to deter other races from trying the Eldar or for diplomatic purposes. Some for conquest.

Because of their psionic superiority, they are able to dominate the minds of other humanoids and implant a fake appearance in their mind.

#### Pale and Nimble

The Eldar’s true form is one that is slender. Its face has no visible mouth or nose, only eyes that have a faint milky glow. Their skin is leathery and pale.

In reality, most humanoids only see the psionically imprinted form of the Eldar. Each Eldar can only have 1 imprinted form, usually taking one of a human. Some take Ogrynn form too, or any other biological humanoid. Either way, even in this imprinted form they look almost unnaturally pale and slender. Their ears, jawline and fingers are usually more sharp and pointy than usually the case in the species.

The Eldar move gracefully and have incredible speed because of it.
