{{Quote|Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. Elves are terrific. They beget terror. The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad.|Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies}}

User with this ability either is or can transform into an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf Elf] (also known as Alvar, Daoine Sidhe, Sidhe, etc.), who are either close relatives for faery or near-mortals with exceptional living-span and magical inclination, there just doesn't really seem to be anything between. In general all elves appear humanoids of close to human size (some are notably smaller, other good deal taller), beautiful, young-looking or ageless, graceful and generally both wondrous and haughty. Although some (especially those of the Primal back-ground) could pass as particularly attractive humans, most have distinctive look of slender physique, vulpine facial features and arresting eyes, but especially their ears that range from but human sized with points to variously elongated. While most have relatively normal skin-tones, some have anything but (blue seems common); this includes both groups.

The user with this ability either is or can transform into an [[wikipedia:Elf|elf]] (also known as an alfar, alp, ellefolk, etc.). Elves are humanoid beings who are either fairies, close relatives of the fairies, or humanoids with exceptional lifespans and magical inclination, depending on the lore. In general, elves resemble slender, beautiful, youthful/ageless, graceful humans. Some versions of elves are close to human size, others are diminutive, and still others are taller than humans. Though some human-sized elves could pass as [[Archetype:Alpha Human|particularly attractive humans]], most have one or more distinctly elven trait. Pointed ears are the most common, but some elves have large eyes, skin/hair/eyes of an unusual color, and/or (rarely in modern fiction, but not uncommonly in folklore) [[Hollow Being|hollowed-out backs]].
   
−
As mentioned elves are divided into two broad groups that can be described as Lesser/Modern and Mythic/Primal: the Elves of Modern group are near-mortal, with closer to human abilities and also potential (amusingly they also tend towards more haughty behavior). Primal Elves are very close to Fae, many of them powerful enough that they were considered Gods (Vanir of [[Norse Deity Physiology]], Tuatha Dé Danann of [[Celtic Deity Physiology]]) in earlier times. Regardless of which group they belong, all elves share certain traits including grace, some magical ability and skill with both close combat (especially swords) and marksmanship (with bows).
 +
As mentioned, elves can be divided into two broad groups: modern and mythic. Modern elves are mortal or [[Archetype:Transcended Normal|near-mortal]], with abilities closer to those of humans. Mythic elves are objectively more powerful, with some bearing power rivaling that of lesser divinities. Regardless of which group they belong to, all elves share certain traits, including grace, some magical ability, and skill in both close combat (especially with swords) and marksmanship (with bows).
   
−
Of all Faery-kind they are most likely to create and live in their own communities, nations and states of varying sizes. While Modern Elves have their Kingdoms and lands in Physical world, Primal Elves tend to live Under-Hill, Other Side or simply on the plane where their Faery-cousins dwell.
 +
Of all faerie races, elves are most likely to form their own communities, nations and states of varying sizes. While modern elves have their own kingdoms and lands in the physical world, mythic elves tend to live on a separate plane of existence (Alfheim, Elfland, Fairyland, etc.).

*'''Mythic''': Dark Elves (''dokkalfar, svartalfar and dvergar'' in Norse Mythology) were a subterranean race that were associated with disease, curses and bad luck, in contrast with their light elf brethren.
−
*In original Nordic mythology, Dark Elves (''dokkalfar, svartalfar, duegar'') were a subterranean race that had more in common with the beings that would later be identified as Dwarves. In modern fantasy literature, Dark elves are identified as a corrupted version of their more nobler brethren and are known for their aggression, deceit, and stealth. They are very brutal and cruel by nature, having little mercy when it comes to cheating, battling, or anything dealing with the life of another being. They have little respect for even their own kind, at times waging war against each other. However, clans are known to band together to combat invasions and attacks by other races. Many dwell underground.

*Usually not as civilized (and haughty) as High Elves, but neither as sullen and xenophobic as Wood Elves, who live in a quasi-feudal societies. They often live either near sea or large lakes or at remote islands and are extremely proficient mariners and seafarers. Not as proficient in magic, arts and sciences as High Elves, but excellent on poetry, music, lore and epic literature.

*'''Mythic''': The Alvar, Haltijas and the Gentry would be candidates in mythology for the most advanced elves.

*High elves are distinguished from other fantasy elves by their place of living, as they usually dwell in stone cities, instead of woods, like wood-elves. High elves and dark elves can be used to contrast respectively the good elves and the evil elves. Typically high elves consider themselves the most purely good race of all, and haughtily view all other races beneath them, especially other elven races, and they are usually the most magically developed of all elves.

While most of the elven race live in isolated communities on the planet, these type of elves live in communities found in other dimensions.

They can live in grand structures made of ice or live in more primitive settlements of wood and furs. They have a strong connection to nature and have an aptitude in magic, particularly ice magic. Due to the harsh conditions of their homelands, they tend to be isolationists and rarely engage in large scale combat but will defend their lands from invaders.

*'''Modern''': Elves that are the most primitive of all Elf subraces and the antithesis of High Elves. They have a similar appearance to Wood Elves, but are shorter and thinner, and are considered more barbaric, living close to the land and living as part hunter-gatherers, and part agricultural. This subrace seems to have to have little proficiency in magic, but make up for it in stealth, making them excellent hunters. They tend to dwell in woodland and grassland environments.

"Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels. Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. Elves are terrific. They beget terror. The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. No one ever said elves are nice. Elves are bad."
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

The power to use the abilities of elves. Variation of Mythic Physiology. Combination of Demihuman and Fairy Physiology.

Also Called

  • Elf Mimicry
  • Elven/Elvish Body/Mimicry/Physiology

Capabilities

The user with this ability either is or can transform into an elf (also known as an alfar, alp, ellefolk, etc.). Elves are humanoid beings who are either fairies, close relatives of the fairies, or humanoids with exceptional lifespans and magical inclination, depending on the lore. In general, elves resemble slender, beautiful, youthful/ageless, graceful humans. Some versions of elves are close to human size, others are diminutive, and still others are taller than humans. Though some human-sized elves could pass as particularly attractive humans, most have one or more distinctly elven trait. Pointed ears are the most common, but some elves have large eyes, skin/hair/eyes of an unusual color, and/or (rarely in modern fiction, but not uncommonly in folklore) hollowed-out backs.

As mentioned, elves can be divided into two broad groups: modern and mythic. Modern elves are mortal or near-mortal, with abilities closer to those of humans. Mythic elves are objectively more powerful, with some bearing power rivaling that of lesser divinities. Regardless of which group they belong to, all elves share certain traits, including grace, some magical ability, and skill in both close combat (especially with swords) and marksmanship (with bows).

Of all faerie races, elves are most likely to form their own communities, nations and states of varying sizes. While modern elves have their own kingdoms and lands in the physical world, mythic elves tend to live on a separate plane of existence (Alfheim, Elfland, Fairyland, etc.).

Applications

Variations

Dark Elves

  • Mythic: Dark Elves (dokkalfar, svartalfar and dvergar in Norse Mythology) were a subterranean race that were associated with disease, curses and bad luck, in contrast with their light elf brethren.
  • Modern: In modern fantasy literature, Dark elves are identified as a corrupted version of their nobler brethren and are known for their aggression, deceit, and stealth. They are very brutal and cruel by nature, having little mercy when it comes to cheating, battling, or anything dealing with the life of another being. They have little respect for even their own kind, at times waging war against each other. However, clans are known to band together to combat invasions and attacks by other races. Many dwell underground.

Elven Deities

  • Mythic: Elves like the Haltija and the Alvar that wield powers such as Domain Warping and are embodiments of nature.
  • Modern: Usually depicted as the beings that created or fathered the elves, such as the Pantheon of elves/eldar in Warhammer Fantasy/40K respectively.

Grey Elves

  • Mythic: This would include any elf that does not fit the classification of either a light or dark elf.
  • Modern: Usually not as civilized (and haughty) as High Elves, but neither as sullen nor xenophobic as Wood Elves, who live in a quasi-feudal society. They often live either near sea or large lakes or at remote islands and are extremely proficient mariners and seafarers. Not as proficient in magic, arts and sciences as High Elves, but excellent on poetry, music, lore and epic literature.

Half-Elves

  • Mythic: Mythic ancestry could go up to Demigod Physiology.
  • Modern: Result of Elven and (usually) human relationship, those with Modern ancestry are unlikely to add much more to their mortal other parents' abilities than Decelerated Aging, although even their exceptions happen.

High-Elves

  • Mythic: The Alvar, Haltijas and the Gentry would be candidates in mythology for the most advanced elves.
  • Modern: High elves are distinguished from other fantasy elves by their place of living, as they usually dwell in stone cities, instead of woods, like wood-elves. High elves and dark elves can be used to contrast respectively the good elves and the evil elves. Typically, high elves consider themselves the most purely good race of all, and haughtily view all other races beneath them, especially other elven races, and they are usually the most magically developed of all elves.

Noble Elf

  • Elven Demigods, the offspring of elven deities and normal elves.

Sea/Aquatic Elves

  • Mythic: The Ellyllon dwell in water bodies.
  • Modern: While some elves took to the skies, others took to the sea. The Sea elves are a subrace that reside in undersea civilizations. Naturally, they are closed off from human societies and are also in tune with their environment.

Snow Elves

  • Mythic: No recorded race of snow-dwelling elves has ever been recorded.
  • Modern: The subrace of Elves that thrive in colder, frigid lands. Their appearance can range from having tan skin to very pale skin, with white or pale blonde hair. They can live in grand structures made of ice or live in more primitive settlements of wood and furs. They have a strong connection to nature and have an aptitude in magic, particularly ice magic. Due to the harsh conditions of their homelands, they tend to be isolationists and rarely engage in large scale combat but will defend their lands from invaders.

Sky Elves

  • Mythic: Such beings would be closely associated with mythical High Elves.
  • Modern: A race of elves that reside in the high heavens. These types of elves live in communities literally stationed in the sky. Because of their destination, their communities are hard to invade, and the elves have the power to protect it since they have learned to control the elements and creatures of their environment.

Space/Star Elves

  • Mythic: More elemental elves such as the Haltija could fall into this category.
  • Modern: A subrace of elves that reside in the stars. These types of elves live in space and reside in communities where magic and technology are one. This means that the technology they use will either be crystalline, or organic constructs that are both in tune with nature and capable of destroying whole cities. Such elves include Warhammer's Eldar.

Wild Elves

  • Mythic: The Alpen is the closest elf to this category, being a trickster being with wild tendencies.
  • Modern: Elves that are the most primitive of all Elf subraces and the antithesis of High Elves. They have a similar appearance to Wood Elves, but are shorter and thinner, and are considered more barbaric, living close to the land and living as part hunter-gatherers, and part agricultural. This subrace seems to have to have little proficiency in magic, but make up for it in stealth, making them excellent hunters. They tend to dwell in woodland and grassland environments.

Wood Elves

  • Mythic: The Huldufolk are depicted as a race of nature-loving elves that rarely leave their dwellings and are peaceful in nature.
  • Modern: Elves that reside in the forests of the world. Members of this subrace live outside of common civilization and possess a connection with nature that is stronger than those of any other subrace.
