I realize this is stating the obvious, but sun elves in general is not your character in particular, and s/he can be any way you would like them to be. Unspeakably arrogant? Sure. Kind and forgiving? Why not. Make him a tinker, if you want, its all good.   There are plenty of ways to turn the sun elves' superiority complex into a playable personality. Long ago I played a sun elf cavalier who felt that it was his duty to go out into the world and show everyone else how great it was to be elven. His program called for the sun elves to take their natural role (leaders, of course) in bringing the goodly races together to live in harmony. Part of this, of course, was getting his arrogant bastard side under control in order to better sway/teach the other races.    They could be perfectionists, and therefore far more prone to self-criticism than racism. Make him a diplomat, able to control his racial ego. Maybe just extremely young (60-80), impulsive and with far fewer preconceptions other than a fascination with all things non-elven. Give him moon elven friends or a wild elf girlfriend that changed the way he looked at things.     The important point, IMO, is to remember that racial tendencies have little or nothing to do with individual characters.  [Edit: altered quotations]</blockquote>
