[QUOTE="Guang, post: 8582989, member: 6779420"] Ah, but elves are much easier - they at least 1. Live a long time 2. Have a special connection to something (whether nature, or magic itself, or spiders, or something else) 3. Have some sort of wisdom that we humans lack - like an elder sibling 4. Are separated from standard society in some way - whether by isolation, or by attitude, or emotionally, or by rank - they are just a bit - distant. EDIT: forgot one - 5. Elves are very attractive by human standards Pretty much applies in any fantasy setting I can think of. Unless we're talking about Santa's elves or Keebler elves. All very Tolkienesque, I guess. Goblinoids are harder. I guess they 1. Are shorter-lived 2. Are gregarious, living in large groups (but then again bugbears aren't-but bugbears are weird. Call it the exception that proves the rule) Anything else? These two could apply to almost anything/anyone [/QUOTE]
