Elf

Elves are a group of posthumans that have adapted to environments with lower gravity, usually through natural evolution but occasionally by way of genetic engineering. Through generations of living on planets with lower gravity, elven humans grew taller and more gracile, though at the expense of bone and muscular density.

Biology

Anatomy & Morphology

Elves are highly similar to baseline humans, though their bone structure is slightly lighter due to their homeworlds' lower gravity. This is also the reason for their height and overall build. Elves are more naturally adept at coping with microgravity, though their gravity limit is lower than other types of posthuman.

Ecology

Geographic Origin & Distribution

The elven group of posthumans originated on many different planets across the Solar Reach. They are almost as common as baseline humans.

Civilization & Culture

The ethereally graceful Elothyl of Alph have an eco-centric and scholarly culture, emphasizing the care and study of the natural world. However, some also seek to bend the laws of nature to their whim, which can easily go awry if not carefully managed.
