Dark Elves

Dark 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

Dark elves have long, pointed ears with four digits and a thumb. Their skin tones are cold silver to cold grey. Their hair colors are black, brown, blonde, and white. Their eye colors are brown, orange, yellow, blue, and lavender. Their eyes are also farther apart than humans, with a higher chance to be heterochromatic.

Their height is between 5ft 1in/155cm to 5ft 6in/167cm, while their weight is between 120lbs/54kg to 130lbs/59kg. 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

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

## History

Dark elves refer to themselves as døkkálfar, or døkkálfr in the singular form. They're known for being a laidback and wise people. However, they prefer neutrality in conflicts and would rather put an issue aside than immediately confront it.

## 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 Jeruden.

There exists a dark elf deity: Vevian. He is the deity of moral ambiguity, taboo, and vampirism.

They view sexuality as a part of society. They view other races as equal. They view afflictions as the underworld.

## 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. Dark elves are strictly from Prose Edda. They hail from Svartalfheim/Svartálfaheimr. They were known as svartálfr/svartálfar (black elf/black elves) and usually døkkálfr/døkkálfar (dark elf/dark elves). However, it's unknown whether the author was referring to a new type of elf entirely or dwarves.

Døkkálfar (doh-kall-far; singular døkkálfr) are dark elves, as their name translates. They were once #「☀」ljosalfar.
