Elves are the most numerous sub-species of Fae, and can take nearly any role in Faerie society, be it either soldier, craftesman, artist, scholar or any other. Of all fae, they tend to be the most magically capable, and are usually the leaders of the kingdom. They can vary in height as much as a human, but are nearly always lithe and slender. Elves are nearly always attractive in some form, but those good looks can frequently appear strange and otherworldy, some times only slightly "off" compared to a human, other times bizarre and fantastic. The only caracteristic that is constant is pointed ears, but otherwise can have appearances very different from the elves of most fiction: they can have the horns of a goat or a deer; skin made of wood, stone or with unusual colors; hair made of leaves, fire or ice; etc.
