D&D General So how do Half-Elfs feel different to Elfs?

The carcination phenomenon (animals convergently evolving crablike body plans) is a bit overstated in pop science media. Like, it’s definitely a thing, but mostly among animals that aren’t too distantly related to crabs and face similar environmental pressures. There are a lot of similar examples of convergent evolution that for whatever reason don’t get near as much attention. For example, the analogous phenomenon for mammals would be mustilization - many mammal species convergentky evolving to be more weasel-like.

I find myself growing more crabby as I evolve with age....

so your elf character’s age reflects the time since they last woke up rather than the time since their birth.

Because Elves are future-oriented, it makes sense they are highly attentive about today, and which future timelines are branching out from this point on toward tomorrow.

In folkbeliefs about elves, they do love and grieve. Interestingly, the elves also alter each others fates.

Elves steer fates toward a Good future, and prevent the outcome of an Evil future. But others who arent prescient dont see these oncoming futures. So when an elf aggressively pursues some fateful agenda, the actions can seem cruel, and the elf can come across as a bastard. Sometimes "inscrutable" at best.
