Tolkienian inspired Elves

Modern Fantasy elves (with some exceptions) trace their roots back to JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth universe. Typically elves are like humans in most respects, with a thin build, long ears, greater dexterity and long lives (ranging from several centuries to biological immortality).

Often their are several catagories of elves. The most common being High Elves (which live in cities), Wood Elves (which are more primitive, territorial and live in forests) and Dark Elves (which often have grey skin, have cultures with supremacist ideologies and sadistic tendancies and are Slavocratic).
