Dark Elf (Race)

Dark Elves are a playable race in the Gigaverse, primarily native to the western coast of Irroz.

Appearance
Dark Elves are very tall and muscular in stature, with unusually thick forearms. They have very slender waists, but broad shoulders. They are one of only a few species with 'unnatural' skin tones, varying between shades of blue, green, purple, and sometimes even pink. Their hair colors are similarly jewel toned, with a thick, smooth, straight hair type. Dark Elf eyes are typically white, silver, yellow, or blue, but can be seen in a wide variety of other colors.

Shadowalker facial structure is very rigid and angular, with all features creating harsh lines. They have the longest ears of the elf subspecies, and their ears can be flat against the head, or straight out to the sides.

Life Expectancy
On average, Dark Elves live approximately 800 to 1,600 years. They finish adolescence by age 20, and reach adulthood around the age of 25. At this time, their aging process slows, and only becomes noticeable over several decades. Dark Elves do not tend to become noticeably elderly, as they rarely develop physical signs of aging.

Dark Elves have a strikingly low mortality rate at birth; however, they are less likely to breed on average. More Dark Elves live their entire lives without having children than any other species, and many that have children do so via adoption.

Location
According to the World Census, the largest population of Dark Elves belongs to Irroz, with about 42% of the species in Ilgedas, another 35% in Vandorn, and 11% in Ondre. Approximately another 12% of Dark Elves reside in Folwin, with most in Urvas.

Language
Approximately 89.5% of Dark Elves speak Common, and at least 99% speak Elvish; however, Dark Elvish tends to be a slightly different dialect than the more commonly spoken form of Elvish.

Council
The Dark Elf council is made up of six members, three male, and three female. While the council has been remarkably cooperative in worldwide affairs, they are socially noted as being very carefree and fun loving, acting more like a group of close friends than professional colleagues.
