Name: Dark Elf Rank: E Genus: Humanoid (Elf) Attribute: --- Traits: Humanoid (Elf), Pseudo-Demon
Description:
Dark Elves are a sub-species of the common Elf, just as much as the "Woodland Elf" or the "Oceana Elf" species. In this case, the "Dark Elf" is a pseudo-demon, as in they were born while being exposed to demonic energies, or they could have been Demonic Elementals that, in the ancient past, could have attained a humanoid form through evolution. Just as with the origin of the other Elf races, no one is sure about the Dark Elves' connection to the spirits. They are at least not direct relatives of the Sprite races.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Despite their somewhat ominous nature, the Dark Elf is far from a villainous race (disregarding potential real villains of this species). They thrive in dark forests, caves, or in cities in general. Compared to the other Elf-type species, they are only being beaten as the "most common Elf-type species" by the original Elf race.
Appearance:
Dark Elves are extremely similar to the common Elf. They are humanoids with a beautiful visage as well as long, sharp ears. Unique for Dark Elves is that they all have dark-tanned skin colors. Their hair will either be black, white, or anything in between. There are also a few with platinum-blond hair.
Abilities:
Danger rank: E
Rarity rank: E+
A Dark Elf is best tailored to be a hunter. Compared to the Elf who is an all-around, or the Woodland Elf who finds the best affinity with Shaman-type classes such as [Druid], Dark Elves prefer a more physical approach. As they are still Elves, they cannot fare well in direct combat, so instead, they rely on traps, archery, and other methods to fight from a safe distance.
Otherwise, a Dark Elf can tap into their demonic ancestry and try to become [Warlock]-like magicians that use vile spells. These characters are generally of horrible Karma, so please stay away from them as much as possible. It does make it easy to guess what magic spells they specialize in, however.
Garami's comment: Strange. I feel a sort of affinity for these elves... (<- Trap-crazy necromancer)
Mira's comment: Same here. I wonder why? (<- Muscleheaded despite being from a frail race)
