Dubiously canon. Embarrassing. Basically humans, culturally. Unfortunately, any decent Elf has certain obligations even to bastard offspring. It's lucky that the human parent is typically willing to do the heavy lifting.

Don't do this!

Sure, they should train themselves in a variety of weapons. Including the bow.
Although, they can't focus on all of them equally (next to all the other necessary skills needed to govern a realm, and whatever they do for personal fun times).
Allow them to have personal preferences as well. Some might not be so inclined to studying magic.

That depends more on the setting than it does the system, as appearance as a stat has fallen out of favor since the 1980s. That said, if we're talking about the settings of the big elfgames like Shadowrun, Warhammer, or D&D the ratios are about the same across the board so even the base setting assumptions would be universal. If we're talking about MERP then there are no ugly elves whatsoever.

You are either:
1) so deeply brainwashed with constant consumption of porn that you only think porn images are ones clearly showing nudes and/or penetration with various fluids related to sex to confirm it's not just an accidental touch of reproductive organs. You cannot perceive coombait and the implications of posting lewd images in a discussion not meant for them
2) a rabid culture warrior that cannot sacrifice an inch of free and open discussion so you are forced to stand up for everyone, including the coomers, pedos, animal fuckers and other, worse /d/egenerates. You are being exploited for you convictions and are forced to accept others perverting your values
3) an actual subversive agent who is paid to destroy imageboards and imageboard culture and use the most potent well poisons to destroy any type of discussion. You are the enemy and cannot be reasoned with from the very beginning.

Any of these makes you a mental asylum patient at best, a piece of disingenuous piece of shit at worst who does not belong here and you and sick fucks you protect and/or represent need to be driven out.

but you don't have to post. You could just not. Nobody is clamouring for your slop elves. Like dude you make the same elf every time, they all look alike. Your taste is boring and your insistence is grating.

going entirely by appearances the majority of elves being 90% human with long ears or bigger pupils is okay. they can look cool or cute or hot or whatever. they're not awful by any means, bad elf designs can definitely exist, but they all seem so boring to me. don't you want a little more out of them when you're getting into their world building or clothing/architecture/culture/etc?
take >>96706220 for example, this could all be elves or humans and you wouldn't know the difference while >>96706229 is a very distinctive but not obtrusive. you can't mistake this guy for a human even if his ears are covered because of his eyes and the rest of his apparel.
I'm sure it's all down to personal preference and what older works you're taking inspiration from, very human adjacent elves are the most popular depiction for several reasons.
anyways I like nightborne, they're like night elves but cooler. wish they weren't horde though.

>>96704491
In my Warhammer inspired knockoff setting Dragons made elves out of dragonflesh as a sort of servitor race/liason to handle matters with the other races. Dragons & elves are essentially the same species but vastly different in physiology. The dragon god-kings ruled over the, for a long while until the most beloved elf concubine of the chief dragon, betrayed them after being led astray by chaos. She led a rebellion & the elves slaughtered a bunch of dragons, broke their minds so they are pretty much all savage beasts now & took over. The Whore-Queen & the upper level elf lords are a bunch of blood drinking pseudo vampires who dress to emulate dragons & claim their lost legacy. There is also a factor of wood elves who live ascetic lives in the wilds as a gesture of attunement & some try to care for the few dragons left who are no better than wild beasts when they were once kings & one of the wisest & most learned "people".

This lore was mostly to mix Dracul vampires, transylvania elves & dragons all together & to justify my magical realm of hot elf women getting dicked down by dragons

Warhammer 40k is a wargame, and what is important (unless you're a gay secondary) is army aesthetics, not fluff blurbs used to pad out a codex.

T'au aesthetics are best compared to a garbage bag, as is their gameplay.

How does elf society view human town guards? Town guards of minor townships?
>>
>>96713393
Depends so heavily on the setting that the question is entirely meaningless.
May also depend on the actual town in question, how trustworthy the town guard appears, how professional etc. It's not like elves don't have their own types of guards.
As a baseline, elves will probably play along, but will stand their ground if the town guards appear rude or be of the corrupt kind. Elves aren't dumb, they know that someone needs to uphold the law. They should still treat human institutions with less respect than humans would.

Let me tell you, homosexual secondary, something about power creep and codex schedule in the homosexual mosh pit that is 40k:
1) When a new edition comes, Marines, being the poster boy, are usually the first to recieve the codex.
2) As the edition advances, newer codexes are released, which is usually accompanied by power creep, unless the developer hates the faction he's working on (see: Cruddace and Phil Kelly).
3) Eldar are popular enough to get regular updates, usually later in the edition cycle than the Marines.
And thus, in most editions, Eldar-Marines matchup is actually bad for the Marines. Barring some monstrous abominations such as late 5E GK (still can go either way, good luck fighting 5E Gay Knights as regular Marines or, Emperor forbid, Black Templars).

But the ones I've made for my setting are effectively evolved trees, in the sense of Tree -> Ent/Leshy -> Spriggan/Nimph -> Elf
Their hair color is dictated by the dominant foliage or nearest equivalent and their skin changes color and pattern to match the dominant trees or ground of where they've been living for at least half a decade. if they keep moving around then their skin remains the color and pattern of the last place they lived at for at least 5 years. Their Irises are the shape and color of the first flower they see.
They never really stop growing and can, in theory, live forever, but due to the cut-throat nature of their society they tend to die by their 500s or so, with the oldest in-setting being ~1500 years old. She, thusly, is also the tallest at 7'4". Mentally they age as quickly as Humans do but aren't considered adults within their homeland unless they pass 4 trials:
Solve a significant problem with diplomacy; solve a significant problem with violence; make a true friend; travel to somewhere no less than 1 months walk from your place of birth.

Their homeland has a custom of tattooing their life story, as dictated by their elder, onto their bodies. A new line is added once every decade and it is supposed to be the most defining event of that Elfs character for that decade.
For this I've stolen the Ogham alphabet as it can be written as a long vine to create intricate designs while still telling someone what they're like as a person.

They're also all a single sex, though we would call them hermaphrodites. They all appear as "female" by the way that most other sapients would recognize. This was primarily inspired by the fact that a large number of trees are actually hermaphroditic but also an after-the-fact reasoning of "it's a fuck-ton easier to find female elf art." Due to this they've started referring to themselves in the feminine for whatever language they're speaking.

Gonna ask again, but does anyone know a non-D&D cozy/wholesome fantasy RPG featuring elves prominently? There are a good number of cozy and wholesome ttrpgs but they overwhelmingly focus on either playing as animalfolk or just magic humans.

the fact that deldar aren't slaanesh cultists despite acting exactly like slaanesh cultists is the perhaps the dumbest piece of 40k "lore"
deldar should act exactly the same except the end goal and result should be getting eaten by slaanesh. they should view this as a desirable outcome. idk, for gnostic "this is a false reality" reasons or nihilistic "being reduced to nonexistence is good actually" reasons.

>>96719557
if an elf found out there was a giant rat in the sewers he would pay humans (with tawdry baubles of course, worthless to the elf but priceless to the humans) to go kill it for him (the mere idea of it offends him, humans are at least tolerable as sycophantic minions)

High Elves generally see them as equals, while Wild/Wood Elves hate them. They are why the schism even exists between the elven people.

Half-Elves existence is purely from war and conquest by a mighty human empire, which left the elven population shattered. Most did not kill or leave their bastard children for dead, either for the pain of the act or sheer desperation because of their numbers being so heavily dwindled.

But this is ancient history to all but unnaturally lived elves, or the ageless Grey Elves.

Related. I actually really like that they gave an idea of where the fuck elves came from other than, "Stepped out of a magical portal wooOOooooh", even if I do that in my own setting. And it's a hell of a lot better than having them be cat people.

They feed all four, Nurgle perhaps the least. Khorne even more so than Slaanesh - the most popular entertainment in Commoragh is gladiator fights, and most denizens devote a significant portion of their lifetime to practicing martial skills to avoid being caught defenceless. They also plot every second of their lives.

You probably also think masturbating creates Daemonettes in your vicinity.
They feed Slaanesh directly via causing suffering on others. Since Slaanesh has a hold on their soul, and they don't use Spirit Stones like CWE or are protected by Cegorach like the Harlequins.

>She emerges from the light like the spirit of vengeance made manifest. Her armour is powder white, coiled tight around her lithe musculature. Ivy iconography slides and twists over the plates like living smoke. From her shoulders trail banners of flowing vermilion silk like blood-drenched wings, matching the crested mane of her screaming war helm. She bears a crackling power glaive, its crystalline blade singing as it carves the air. She soars towards Magyar, at the altar’s apex.
>Togin is a Mortifactor without peer, having served for a century in Magyar’s elite guard. In Posul’s last nights, Togin slaughtered over a thousand of the Leviathan swarm, allowing the surviving companies to withdraw.
>Althanax bears the Chapter banner. He has carried it through every crusade of the Mortifactors’ First Company for the last two centuries. The skulls of every race and wicked bastion of Mankind’s enemies clatter from his plate on dense black chains.
>These are the warriors at Magyar’s side as the war maiden descends. These are the warriors she kills before touching the ground. Their bifurcated remains crash to the flagstones like tolling bells. The Chapter banner falls, its fabric drinking the blood of champions that empties onto the stone.
>The eldar exarch tilts her head, regarding Magyar, before whipping blood from her glaive. The Chapter Master stoops, gathering the fallen banner and lashing it to his armour like a cloak. He activates his massive war scythe with a hiss of coruscating lightning, and the two clash.

>I turn my head to see Magyar duel the exarch above the melee. He attacks in blurring combinations, martial prowess alloyed with volcanic fury. The exarch flows around his attacks like quicksilver.
>Magyar slashes low, a disembowelling strike the exarch evades with a flourishing backflip. Landing in a crouch, she counters with an upward slash, severing Magyar’s scythe in two, barely missing the Chapter Master’s head with a horizontal reverse strike. Magyar drops the smoking halves of his scythe, reaching for the gladius at his hip. But his grip falters, and the weapon falls away. My eyes widen as bright blood sheets down from his gorget.
>She had not missed. With a sound like a Titan falling, Magyar drops to his knees. His head trembles, and rolls off his shoulders. His body pitches forward, and his blood joins that of his champions in pulsing sprays.
>‘No!’ I scream.
>The exarch strides to the altar’s edge and raises her arm. Clutched in her fist is Magyar’s head, shedding the last of its lifeblood from severed arteries. She holds it aloft for all to see, and releases it. It tumbles down, bouncing against the timeworn steps before disappearing from sight.

There's zero Slaanesh-aligned units in DE roster in 40k. There is a whole subfaction that is dedicated to Khaine (Wych cults) and DE version of aspect warriors (Incubi) are also Khaine fanatics. Whether Khaine and Khorne are different but similar or the same thing, canon is dubious (as it should be).

And I never said they are.
Look, I also agree that DEldar aren't "Slaaneshi eldar". But they do feed xhem directly via the hold that particular chaos god has over their souls.
>>
>>96719832
>>96721445
DEldar are slaanesh's unwilling servants, not worshippers (they'd prefer to huff up all that pain-charged lifeforce themselves without sharing with it and not be constantly succed pretty much 24/7). I think they are cool.
While I think some chaos-aligned xenos would be cool too, I find chaos worshippers dumber than DEldar because of how you've described your idea of willing slaanesh worshipping Deldar (100% true to lore). All true Chaos worshippers are retards slaving off for immaterial parasites hungry both for their flesh and souls just for the love of it or in mostly vain hopes of being among the lucky singles to transform into a more powerful form of those immaterial parasites. Like there are some mentions of Chaos cultists somehow building working societies but it's hard to imagine those being the TRUE believers living on full-blown Chaos worlds where daemons can come visit as they please. While all that's okay for an evil faction among evil factions GW would also have us believe that they somehow have blood and flesh fodder to vastly outnumber the forces of more reasonable factions.

Though that's a problem I have mostly with the Chaos forces in the old Warhammer Fantasy setting where the action is contained to one world and Chaos-infected northern deathlands somehow can produce hordes of space marine sized giganiggers that also outnumber forces of much better life-suited lands whose inhabitants care about more things than killing others for demonic worsjip.

Chaos Eldar would be cool, not as a faction (we already have enough chaos factions). But some singular eldar individual, his full psyker potential not only unlocked, but enhanced through thousands of years of corruption and training.

Mostly as venerable elders and/or as Living Ancestors.
Many of the higher nature spirits are local gods within their domain

I also didn't mention this because of character limit, but these elves of mine are naturally good at magic, however they can only manipulate 3 of the 5(6) types of spirits: Nature, Animal, and Sapient(intelligent races). They cannot manipulate Elemental(fire,water,etc) or Crafted(things made by Sapients) spirits.
The 6th spirit is the Concept, which are the Gods. Culturally universal concepts are the wide-spread Gods of an entire culture, but the concept of a specific location or a very specific local belief spawns local Gods or Land Spirits.

Because they are naturally adept at manipulating their own bodies as well as plants and animals, the Elves have never invented metal-working beyond copper, silver, and gold for jewelry. All of their weapons are made from growing trees' limbs into the form of a haft and then forming the sap into amber to make blades. They can also naturally harden their skin, from striking boil'd leather up to where it's akin to striking dried Ironwood.

>>
>>96724459
hard to get your hand onto one when you're not a craftworlder and even if you manage to slay another eldar who has one the stone is already bound to someone else
also: craftworlders get a soul stone as infants and bond with it

>>96724411
Gems aren't necessarily spirit stones, it's just artistic license. Sometimes you see people paint things are are canonically "tech blisters" as stones, especially on vehicles. Lore wise, a single Eldar has a single spirit stone that they attune to at a young age. The only exception would possibly be Exarchs who have multiple souls vibing in the same suit of armor.

>>96724747
This is correct. In one of the codices there is fluff it's the sort of job that multiple Wraithknights are sent on. In the shitty Path books a rag-tag group of corsairs, deldar, and harlequins visit a Croneworld for stones. The difficulty is the main reason Dark Eldar don't do it, but they also generally look down on Craftworlders for resorting to such measures instead of just being hedonists. A big part of deldar identity is the idea of them living on borrowed time but being to degenerate and proud to accept it.

They abhor half-elves. They're not actually a thing, an elf and a human always results in an elf, but their idea of blood purity makes them see the realm of Hildaland as a degenerate shithole full of genetic dead ends that is begging to be cleansed and populated by real elves.
Don't remind them these "half-elven" women are actually longevous, centuries, while they themselves in their "purity" scarcely make it to a century and their time keeps shrinking every generation.

Overall, you are right. There is of course nothing wrong taking inspiration from historical events and culture. Also, environments can shape cultures and aesthetics. If you put elves in an environment that resembles Scandinavia, then it only makes sense that in some way mirror the Scandinavian people's art, architecture, clothes etc.
But yeah, slapping pointy ears on an existing culture is lazy. Especially the massive lifespan should shape their culture and psychology.

"High Elf" implies some kind of superiority to others. Which means that others are, somehow, inferior.
So why overcomplicate things? Just have them fight for the very title of "High Elf".

Never mind that they're nigh-indistinguishable from one another.
