Physical characteristics Edit
Half elves stand roughly around 5'5" to 6'2", making them only slightly shorter overall than humans and weigh in at 130 to 190 lbs, making them heavier than elves but still considerably lighter than humans. Like humans, half-elves have a wide variety of complexions,[3] some of which are inherited from the elven half of their heritage such as a tendency for metallic-hued skin and inhuman hair colors.[4] Unlike true Tel'Quessir, however, male half-elves are capable of growing facial hair, and often do so to to distinguish themselves in part from their elven parents. Half-elven ears are about the size of human ones, but like elves, they are pointed on the ends. Half-elves are also notably more durable and passionate than either elves or humans, a unique result of the two races’ blending.[3]
Half-elves usually adopt the dress and hairstyles of the culture they were raised among. However, it is also fairly common for half-elves raised among humans to wear elven clothing in order to proudly display signs of their dual heritage.[3] Regardless of what they wear, half-elves stand out a crowd through the combination of physical distinctiveness and force of personality.[4]
Half-elves mature at a slightly slower rate than humans and live on average for around 180 years.[2]
