I shall try to make this brief and to the point! 

So here goes.

This RP is intended to [i]somewhat[/i] soften the view of Elves and Elvenkind bought about primarily by Tolkien (may he rest in peace) as well as hundreds of near-enough-copy-cat settings and stories; this view is of the tall and noble race of immortal and beautiful warrior-scholars, pale skin and flowing blonde locks gleaming in the sunlight, their poor breeding rate causing them to be one of the archtypical 'dying races', the other usually being the Dwarves/Dwarfs.

In this RP it is an objective of mine, and hopefully with help from any interested parties, to create a new and [i]slightly more[/i] original view of the Elves.

Influenced somewhat by the recent trend in 'inverting' races, usually those of evil alignment or otherwise (think of sober, beardless, effeminate Dwarfs...urgh), as well as by the original and historical tropes of the Elf, I have decided upon a few things that will be different about this RP.

- Elves are [b]not[/b] the first born/awakened race, that honour goes to man; in fact, if anything, they may be one of the last races of any importance at all.

- The Elves come in different shapes and sizes! Yes, you [i]can[/i] create a stockier Elf with a beard, or a even...dare I say...a fat Elf. If that is what takes your fancy.

- In this setting the Elves attempted to wipe out humanity as soon as they were powerful enough to do so. Humanity, as it does, fought back and drove the Elves away into less desirable areas of land ([i]a la[/i] the Witcher series), into mountain ranges and rugged highlands, bogs and fells, and especially forests and the 'wild places'. From that time on Elves have conducted terror attacks, kidnappings and various other unElflike activites upon mankind.

- Elves, going back to their traditional roots here, are voraciously sexual and seductive beings. Well, if you'd like them to be. Along with this, they can be hurt especially by iron.

- Other fantastical races will likely be present in this setting, or some of them at least, the Elves much disliked by many of them. Not because of Elven haughtiness, which doesn't really exist in this setting, but more because they see them as vermin and pests.

- Technology level will be around Late Medieval, so there will be up to crude blackpowder weapons such as basic cannon and the like. Most of the heavy work will still be done by cold steel.

- Magic...in this setting it is everywhere, but Elves are nowhere near as attuned to it as, say, in the Elder Scrolls or Warhammer Fantasy. Not the majority of them at least.

- The plot will hinge on how many players I can get interested, after that I will fill out the lore and get a plotline in the works.


So, would this interest anyone? Does anyone have any questions?
