Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 850255" data-attributes="member: 2020">If you took the IR as canon, then you'd be taking my interpretation of Torilian elves as canon also.  My version of Torilian elves is a slight variant on the canon version:  Sun Elves:    Sun elves appear as tall, slim, very handsome or very beautiful humans, with a mildly fey twist thrown in to the lot.  Their ears are like ours, except they are pointed (they are not great long stick affairs, but then they are more inhuman than vulcan ears.)  Their faces are soft and friendly, with the tilt of their ears, the shape of their eyes, and certain other subtle aspects of their faces giving them away as inhuman.  Sun elves are bright yellow in color - a radiant yellow that almost seems to glow on it's own, and which is very aestetically pleasant to look at.  Sun elves have hair of a darker yellow (maize), typically straight or wavy.  Their other body hair is also of this darker variety.  Sun elves think much like human beings do (they ARE called demihumans for a reason), and their behavior tends to vary from elf to elf like it varies from human to human.  However, there are differences in sun elves, unique traits to their personalities that show their innate inhuman nature.  They are far, far, far more reverent of life than humankind is.  This reverence for life shows up in everything they do, in their moral and ethical codes, in their religion, in their culture and society, in their laws, and even in their behavior in extremis.  They are even more reverent of elven life (including half-elven life), to the point of it being an extraordinary thing for a sun elf to harm or wish harm upon another elf or half-elf.  They are obsessive.  They can and do obsess on one subject, and this obsession can continue for decades or even centuries.  They are innately shy.  A shyness that evolved from millennia of threats from other sentient life forms - gold elves are instinctively cautious and careful around all non-elves, appreciating in a primordial sense the danger others represent.  They are extraordinarily emotional (like the Romulans are extraordinarily emotional.)  Although this emotion rarely manifests in violence, it most certainly manifests itself in other ways, with creativity being one of the most outstanding manifestations.  Sun elven adolescents, like all elven adolescents, are even more emotional than the adults are.  Sun elves are curious beings.  More curious than humans are.  Less curious than any other kind of elf is.  It is generally thought that gold elves are bigoted, racist, and elitist.  Indeed, many think of them as being an evil or almost evil people.  However, this is the result of centuries of propaganda spread by humans and humanoids who desire harm to all elves, and it is absolutely untrue.  What IS true is that sun elves and humans rarely get along.  But then, most humans rarely get along with other humans, so it is not difficult to understand that humans might not get along with sun elves.</blockquote>
