Description
Though not often pictured when one thinks of "dark," Dark Elves are just that- dark. Their skin color is a lovely dark brown with softer tan colors on their palms and the soles of their feet. Not to be confused with Drows or Night Elves, their name often offsets what they truly are- playful, lovably tricky creatures who adore bright colors and worship a god of falling autumn leaves. They are shorter than most elves and have dark hair, either black or dark brown. Their colors help Dark Elves blend into shadows and (more often) forest earth.
Dark Elves don't have the high-horsed pride that usually comes with being an elf. Living in cities hidden inside gigantic tree trunks, they rarely see anyone to impress. Instead, they usually ignore leaves in their hair and slightly rumpled clothing and turn their attentions to having fun. Their favorite activities are card and dice games, and since they're so good at them, and so naturally lucky, they tend to win every traveler's money before sending them on their way.
Because of their dark skin, Dark Elves enjoy dabbing bright-colored paint in hues of yellow, red and orange onto their faces and palms. Their ears, like all elves' are slightly pointed.
Culture
A loose race, Dark Elves' only commitment to culture is their worship of Laev, the god of falling leaves in autumn. Through some clever magic, the areas where they live are eternally in autumn, so they worship daily.
Strengths
Dark Elves have a high affinity for black magic and relatively high defense.
Weaknesses
They lack healing powers or high attack.
Classes often taken
Geomancer, Bard/Dancer, Trickster
