Elves

The Elves, native to the planet Jhoket, are the most influential species in the galaxy and the most numerous (at least for now) on the planet Palojea. They are known for their elegance, beauty, long lifespans, and affinity for magic.

Biology
Elves look identical to humans, except their ears are longer and pointed. They can also have varying skin tones outside the normal range of peach to brown. For example some elves are red, purple, or even grey. In this universe, Elves come in various sub-species due to many factors. The biggest being environment and the kind of mana they grow up around. Eventually the Half-Elf subspecies was formed once they interacted with Humans.

List of Elven Sub-species: The average adult can be anywhere from 5-7 feet tall, however the average Elf is usually shorter. Seeing as they age physically at a much slower rate than the other species. What can appear to be a "child" one the outside can really be a full adult on the inside. Sometimes puberty will miss an Elf altogether, and leave her stuck physically as a child her entire life unless she uses magic to temporarily change her body. This is a trait they share with the Chimera. Some jokingly refer to the condition as Lolification Syndrome (or Shotafication, in the case of male elves).

History
Elven society was the first to gain a foothold on space travel and magic, so it made sense that they would find themselves in charge of newly colonized planets like Palojea. The earliest known ruling monarch was High Chancellor Mau'duin who first unified the many clans of Jhoket some several millennia ago.

As their species prospered, the natural resources on Jhoket were used up far faster than they anticipated. Even though society seemed perfect at the time, over the years it became more and more apparent that their world was far too small. Over half of the population then boarded a massive vessel dubbed Alereth's Ark and traveled amongst the stars for a new home.

After many failed attempts to find a suitable planet to live on, the population on the Ark started to dwindle. It wasn't until they found the massive Earth like planet of Palojea did they finally find their new home.

Of course they didn't expect to have to share it with the ancient Ferals when they first arrived. The War of Beasts saw many slaughtered on both sides until eventually the Elves won. Over time they learned to tame the Ferals' wild ancestors and eventually saw them as valuable (albeit mistreated) tools.
