Elf

**Elves** are a pious species of hairless bipeds native to Lama'entria. They are known for their authoritative nature and devotion to the royal Elven Pantheon, which resides on their home world and causes several strange phenomena. Elves are notorious for being formal and egotistical, venerating their own species as the greatest in the galaxy. They are similar in appearance to humans, but are typically taller and have pointy ears. Their primary allegiance is with the Llamanian Republic.

## Appearance

Elves are said to be an ancestor species of Humans that has evolved to adapt to their planet. As such, they are often taller than the average human as well as possessing pointed ears that give them a hearing advantage over the prey they hunt. Skin-tones differ among different tribes as well as hair color, though Humans and Elves possess almost the same range of colors for hair.

Clothing seems to have been adopted from GU standards.

## Biology

### Habitat

Lama'entria is a temperate forest planet with a lower gravity than Earth. As such Elves have adapted to their planet in the form of increased height, pointed ears, and better low-light vision. Elves are commonly hunter gatherers, often only taking what they need and leaving what they don’t. This practice takes place mainly in their home world though, as many Elves that live off-planet don't seem to mind going to a corner store for chips

### Diet

Elves are Omnivores, eating prey animals they hunt on their planet and plants they forage. Llamanian's also provide food during shortages, due to Elven refusal to farm on their bountiful planet. Elves often prefer blander foods rather than spicy or overly sweet, often using aromatic spices to boost the appeal of their food. Stews are a common meal.

### Reproduction

Elves share the same reproduction system as humans, often pointed to as proof that they may be related Humans. Their birthing periods are the same. Monogamy is uncommon in Elven culture, though political marriages are common between different tribes to improve relations.

## Culture

### Behavior

Elves are calm creatures, often smart and culturally sensitive people. Many see them to be a logical race, though others feel that their religious eccentricity prevents them from progressing forward on their planet. Many also consider Elves to be egotistical and overly formal at times, which has led to many species disliking Elves due to their boisterous egotistical attitudes at times. Elven society has evolved from the series of hunter-gatherer tribes to a highly religious and culturally sensitive planet. Since the introduction of space travel, Elves have helped pave the way towards a smarter and stronger Galactic Union, encouraging and helping with the growth of the GU’s Space Navy. Their architecture takes the form of classical wooden tree houses with paths that connect each house. Elves have a knack for problem-solving and music, often leading to many popular Elven academics and musicians.

### Religion

Elves that reside on Lama'entria are highly religious. They worship a series of Gods that control different aspects of Elven life and culture, these Gods form the Elven Pantheon. This Pantheon forms the basis of government and religion for the Elven Confedration. The core belief that Elves believe is that Lama'entria is a gift from the God of Gods and that they have been entrusted to protect it and nurture it, as one day it will become a promised land. As such, many Elven science projects or anything that might harm the environment, including farming, is frowned and deeply regulated by the Pantheon. Though this does not stop Elves from conducting such experiments and farming on other planets, this did prevent them from conducting space travel until they eventually met the Llamanians, who introduced space travel to the Elves. Their aversion to unclean power and waste has led to them butting heads with more conservative members of the GU. Space travel was deeply frowned upon as well, but has come to be accepted as necessary by the God of Space.
