Half-Elf

Half-Elves are the result of the relations between an elf and a human. Elves generally see them as human, while humans see them as elven. Either way, half-elves end up either rejected or beloved by a community. In height, a half-elf is on par with both parents, though it's neither as slender as elves nor as broad as humans. Half-elves range from under 5 feet to about 6 feet tall, and from 100 to 180 pounds, with men only slightly taller and heavier than women. Half-elf males have facial hair, and sometimes grow beards to mask their elven ancestry. Half-elven coloration and features lie nearer to that of their human parent, while their hair and eyes tend to favour the elven one.

Naming Traditions

Family names

Half-elves use either human or elven naming conventions. As if to emphasize that they don’t really fit in to either society, half-elves raised among humans are often given elven names, and those raised among elves often take human names.

Age: Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.
