Elves

Elves are a race of sapient beings with innate supernatural ties to biological nature and possessing Inherent Eldritch Magical Ability. They are a type of Fae like their distant relatives Trolls, and like them, they are descended from Nature Spirits that developed corporeality some 5 million years ago. In addition to being Fae, they are also Folk as in additon to being sapient beings they are able to Awaken

## Description

### Physical

Elves are extremely diverse in phenotype even for supernatural beings, however, a few commonalities can be described: a "base" for every elf would be an almost human-like being, which possesses a leaner physique than actual humans, their ears have no lobes and are pointed (though in many elves it only means a small point not unlike found in some humans), and slightly longer canine teeth. Besides that, they vary greatly in height (roughly 30% are between 3 and 5 feet, another 30% are between 5 and 7 feet, and another 30% between 7 and 10 feet, the remaining 10% either being taller or shorter), additional features they might possess such as horns, antlers or wings and many other features. They also possess incredibly sharp senses of sight, Hearing and smell, also an Elf is never ugly they might have an unusual or fearsome appearance but never one that evokes disgust. in general, Elves can be subdivided into 4 categories on a tetrahedral spectrum:

**Manlike Elves:** Most similar to Humans, corporeal beings with magic powers

**Beastlike Elves:** Possessing a large amount of Animalistic attributes, also corporeal beings with magic powers

**Spiritlike Elves:** Unlike the other two forms of Elves they are geisterolk, meaning they are spirits but unlike regular spirits they reproduce and have finite Lifespans

**Godlike Elves:** Not so much a separate category by itself, these are elves possessing an incredible level of their inherent supernatural power

Outside of that Elves possess four regularly occurring sexes: 40% are females, 40% are males, 10% are simultaneous hermaphrodites, 10% are sequential Hermaphrodites

### Psychology

Similarly to their corporeal appearance Elves have diverse mindsets, however, some commonalities can be made here as well. Each elf has its own "Nature" an Individualistic definition of what they are influenced in part by their inborn Dominions, that define what they are to a certain extent. They are generally more individualistic and less community-minded than Humans, Humans tend to value morality (meaning what is right to do) more than Ethics (understood here as what is the right way to do things), Elves tend to be Amoral but ethical even if Elven Ethics differs from Human Ethics (Killing is wrong without a good reason or an honorable battle (this led to many elves developing a diet of only animal meat and fruit, outright lies are bad no matter what, etc.). Also, every elf develops weird quirks of behavior relating to their nature, however, nature is not everything for an elf, as they can change to an extent. Elves also tend to hyper fixate on certain skills and interests which leads to exceptional skills in few fields, but abysmal in most other
