Half-Elves are the product of successful crossbreeding between humans and elves and are currently incapable of being a true-breeding race. As a combination of both human and elven traits and personalities, their rarity of birth and survival, half-elves are considered to be outsiders by both races. With some going as far as to only view a half-elf's worth as nothing more than an intriguing scientific object. However, given their otherworldly beauty combined with human versatility these incredible people are equally competent as members of either of their heritage. Half-elves are most commonly seen as adventurers, taking to the arts and the sword with their own unique flair.
Description
On average, half-elven men and women stand with their height maximums and averages reversed to that of humans. With half-elven women being taller than men, inherited from their elven heritage. They are still however shorter than their elven parentage. Half-elves bear the physical markers of elves, with the slightly larger almond eyes, fair and beautiful physical features, as well as shorter, pointed ears. While capable of being any body shape and muscular scale, a half-elf's body is at its most natural equilibrium when lean built. Finally, half-elves can exhibit traits from either parentage to greater or lesser degree. Although, the pointed ears are an unchanged commonality.
Abilities
Half-elves inherit the traits from their human and elven parentage. Which traits largely depends on the game system being utilized.
