Elves are taller and slimmer than the average human, though their bone structure and musculature are no weaker than a human’s. Their ears are distinctly pointed, and many elves wear their hair—which is normally very fi ne—long, so they can cover their ears in some social situations. Elven body hair is sparse to non-existent, and their eyes are highly capable in dim light. Elves have the longest gestation period of the metatypes, at just under a year.
Elves hold a position in pop culture unchallenged by any other metatype, partly due to their exotic looks, striking features, and the adoption of Sperethiel, their own “ancient” language (a claim disputed by some). Many media icons—from models to singers to politicians to porn stars to high-profile lawyers—are elves. Unlike dwarfs, orks, and trolls, who are discriminated against on the basis of being “different and ugly,” elves are oft en looked down upon by the other metatypes due to being “different and beautiful.” According to stereotype, elves are either poncy faux-aristocrats, homosexual, or back to nature “dandelion eaters” (though in fact a majority of elves is vegetarian). This intolerance is fostered by the common perception that there is an “elven conspiracy” set to take over the world (a belief that is not entirely without credible support, as illustrated by the foundation of the “elven” nations of Tir Tairngire and Tir na nOg).
A new generation of elves is attempting to dispel these myths and unfair media portrayal, though some reckless youth are going out of their way to paint themselves as rebellious street toughs, swelling the ranks of gangs like the Ancients.
