I keep trying to make a fantasy race and whenever I think about it too long it just dissolves in t a type of elf, which is fundamentally a problem as I am not an elf guy.
more exactly I am trying to make something vaguely space alien-themed and not an evil monster race so I keep remaking the idealised other that is the elf by accident, can someone tell me what the limits of elfdom are so I can succeed in my goal?
given I am trying to make one that is not a brute but mystical I keep running into this problem?
What about the Asgards from Stargate?I mean... space operas don't have a great track record avoiding elves either.
Vulcans and Romulans are (accidentally?) space elves.
Minbari are (definitely not accidentally) space elves.
Na'vi are space elves.
I don't know how big a problem you really have.
Yoda is a Space Gnome.(and oh no I've just described Yoda - who is basically a space elf.)
