Culture

Around Varlonan, these are the typical aspects of this race's lifestyle preferences.

Weapons: The sun elf specializes in elven crafted weapons, but also is known to use human made ones.

Armor: Any elven made armor.

Currency: They have no preferred currency since they travel a lot, and will adapt to whichever culture they are currently in.

Diet: Omnivore.

Attire: As the Sun Elves feel they are above other elves, they tend to dress in attire much like human nobles. Their clothing is always a status symbol, and not for practical application or comfort. Family lines will often have a symbol on all they wear, proudly displaying their heritage.

Environment: Outdoors in daylight hours, and human made cities.

Relationships

Partners: They mate only with other Sun Elves, or humans since they see other elves as defects of their own genetics, and want to strengthen their line. Though they may choose to marry, it is often seen that Sun Elves do not settle down with one person for too long.

Friends: Each personality with a Sun Elf is different, but they all have a bit of a 'high and mighty' type of outlook on life. So if they feel you worthy to be their friend, they'll usually accept you. They believe strongly in pureblood values, and look down on others who are not a pureblood of their own kind.

Foe: Other than the Moon Elves, generally the Sun Elves get along with everyone. Their snobby attitude sometimes gains them unfavor amongst others, but not usually anything that would garner enemies. When hunted however, it is difficult for them to blend in or hide due to their appearance, so they tend to stay guarded.

Children: When children are born, the parents will either stay together to raise them, or the female will take responsibility when the male rejects the children (often for genetic defects) and raise them alone or with other females. Children are usually only rejected if born as Moon Elves (the genetic defect from Sun Elves).

Territory: They fit in as well as they can with the human societies, especially Tandora since this is where they originated from. Their homes are the same as humans, usually decorated with lavish items of both Human and Elven creation. Much like their attire, they style their homes to make a statement.

History

As a very ancient race, they have seen many generations and cultures. Having a hand in everything from currency, to politics, to religion, to war... they have a lot of experience and knowledge to pass to their children. Unfortunately, they often times used these influences and connections to try to gain something for their own kind, even if it meant betraying their word, or depriving another people. Their shady deals and 'higher than thou' perception of life has given them a bad reputation. Most will still attempt to befriend or work alongside the Sun Elves though for the simple fact that they do still have more knowledge and connections than most.


Their history is also tainted with blood, and regardless of their attempts to hide their 'shame' they only made things worse. The Sun Elves are deemed 'purists' because they believe that the only elves that should exist are their branch. All others are 'watered down' versions of their bloodline in their eyes; regardless of if that's true or not. The most extreme of this purism is the fact that one branch of elves is a direct descendant of the Sun Elves; a mutation of their 'pure' line and blood occasionally born to Sun Elf parents: the Moon Elf. They see these children as monsters and scourges of their kind, most often killing the infants not long into their lives. The ones that are lucky enough to live, are treated poorly: slavery, abandonment, excommunication, or just pure hate and abuse. No Sun Elf will ever admit that they bore a Moon Elf, but the fact remains that they stem from them... even having similar abilities with the sun's rays.


Not every Sun Elf is a monster though. They simply see themselves as above others, and desire to use this elitism to make other races 'better people' in their eyes. If this means an occasional war, or genocide of a people... so be it! The Sun Elves will be given credit for the sacrifices and valor later on, right?
