Light Elves

Light elves are sentient, bipedal primates. They are descendants of humans that deviated into their own evolutionary branch when the first elves were exposed to kessate. How it affected their bodies to be able to manipulate atoms, what is known as magick, is hotly debated.

## Biology

Light elves have long, pointed ears with four digits and a thumb. Their skin tones are pale to dark. Their hair colors are black, brown, blonde, and red. Their eye colors are brown, orange, yellow, blue, and green. Their eyes are also farther apart than humans, with a higher chance to be heterochromatic.

Their height is between 5ft 7in/170cm to 6ft/182cm, while their weight is between 140lbs/64kg to 150/68kg. Their dichotomy is neutral. Both males and females possess longer, thinner features with smaller, muscular bodies.

They have high metabolisms and issues growing body hair.

They bear one to two children after a gestation of ten months. They come of age at thirty-one and have an average lifespan of one hundred and twenty-five. The conversion number is 1.72.

## Abilities

Light elves are able to naturally cast magick. They also possess keen dexterity and observation.

## History

Light elves refer to themselves as ljósálfar, or ljósálfr in the singular form. They're known for doing the right thing and choosing pacifism when possible. However, they have problems expressing emotions due to the fact that they suppress it in favor of logic.

They have a long history of fighting with both sidhe elves and humans.

## Culture

Their origins are placed in the Nordic region of Gaia, which would be evident by the fact that they speak Levanjor. Their homeland in the Viaprundul Galaxy is in Dekhano.

There exists a light elf deity: Tollak. He is the god of angels, and by extension, all that is righteous in the world.

They view sexuality as a part of society. They view other races as lesser beings. They view afflictions as curses upon the world.

## Trivia

* An elf (plural: *elves* not elfs) is a humanoid creature seen across many European myths. Old Norse álfr, Old English ælf, Old High German alb. Their modern perceptions is due to Mr. Tolkien. While I adore his work, nobody bothers to do the research he did. Light elves are based on genuine Nordic elves. More beautiful than the sun and borderline demideities, they hail from Alfheim/Álfheimr (Old Norse; home of the elves). The Vanir god Freyr was said to be their leader. They were freespirited, morally ambiguous, and occasionally mingled with humans. Halfbloods were common enough and highly revered. The concept of "light elf/light elves" comes from Prose Edda under the name ljósálfr/ljósálfar.

Ljósálfar (l-yo-sall-far; singular ljósalfr) are light elves, as their name translates. They're the descendants of humans that deviated into their own bloodline when the first elves were exposed to kessate.
