The child of a Nymph and an Elf. The Half Nymph Elves is either seen as lesser being or slave among Nymph or a nightmare abombination among Elves.

Half Nymph Elves

The High Elves and the Dark Elves, known as the Nymph have been in a racial war for thousands and thousands of years. They are both bitter enemies and rivals. The wars have gone on for so long that no one alive knows the original reason it started.

Because the two races are enemies, there are often times when the evil Nymph will raid and pillage Elf towns and it is not uncommon for Elven women to be raped either during a raid, or when taken a Nymph city as a slave or prisoner. When this happens it can result in the birth of a Half Nymph Elves child. A consensual relationship between an Elf and a Nymph is all but unheard of and almost equally unthinkable. Rarely ever has a Half Nymph Elves been raised in a home filled with love.

Personality

Since most Half Nymph Elves are initially raised in Nymph society they often can come off as cold or aloof on the good end and on the negative end they can be as cruel, arrogant, and hedonistic as their Nymph lineage. Most Half Nymph Elves are cold, arrogant and condescending. Even under the unlikely event that a Half Nymph Elves were raised among Elves, it would spend all of its life as a reviled outcast with everyone looking down on it for its tainted lineage. Because of this, regardless of upbringing a Half Nymph Elves just like their Elven parent, is slow to make friends and enemies and even slower to forget them. A Half Nymph Elves also takes after the Elven parents focused and relentless attitude when pursuing a goal, whether a mission or a new skill or art. Half Nymph Elves often spend much of their time trying to prove themselves to everyone around them and escape the stereotypes that follow them wherever they go when people see their Nymph heritage. Half Nymph Elves raised among Nymph resent the Nymph for treating them like second-class citizens and this will often cause the Half Nymph Elves to detest the Nymph and make them want to rebel against Nymph for being treated them so poorly.

Physical Description

Half Nymph Elves are taller than the Nymph parent and generally a little shorter than the Elf parent. A Half Nymph Elves height on average ranges from about 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet tall, and weight usually ranges from 90 to 130 pounds with males being slightly taller and heavier than females. They can have the eyes of either parent but always have dark dusky tones of brown to a polished obsidian black like his Nymph ancestors. They can have many shades of eye colors but tend towards the Elven parents genetics. On occasion they can have the pale almost white eyes of the Nymph, but while it is possible, they rarely ever have the pure red eyes that Nymph are known for. Most all Half Nymph Elves men have no facial or body hair like their Elven parent, but unlike Elves, Half Nymph Elves do sleep like normal races.

Relations

Half Nymph Elves live as outcasts, because of this they learn to keep everyone equally at arms length. Most Half Nymph Elves raised in Nymph society have learned from Nymph that everyone is a scheming backstabbers eager to take advantage of someone only as long as its convenient and are untrusting of others motives. Half Nymph Elves tend to seek acceptance, especially of their Elven lineage, but find that very hard to come by. When they do choose to trust people and try and let them in, they get along best with Half-Orcs whom they share a great deal in common with since both are outcasts for a heritage that is out of their control and they never asked for. They also get along well with Half-Elves who understand being drawn between two different heritages and trying to internally resolve not having a people or culture of their own. They can get along fairly well with more kind and understanding Humans and Elves. They find Dwarves gruff and sometimes abrasive, and dont appreciate Gnomes pranks or humor nor Halflings tendency to let their curiosity get them into trouble.

Alignment

On the law-chaos axis most all Nymph lean strongly towards the Chaotic end. Some are Neutral, and while it is possible for a Half Nymph Elves to be Lawful, that is a very rare case. On the good-evil axis most all Half Nymph Elves are very internally conflicted. They have Nymph blood which draws them to be evil and the Elven blood drawing them to be good. Half Nymph Elves are distrusted almost as much as the Nymph they descend from wherever they go. Despite this fact, a good Half Nymph Elves is much less rare than a good Nymph is. With the right encouragement, a Half Nymph Elves can become a trusted (and trusting) ally and friend, as well as a stalwart champion of good. However, without this encouragement, is all too easy for a frustrated Half Nymph Elves to slip down the slippery slopes of evil.

Lands

Half Nymph Elves have no lands of their own, and are rarely welcomed wherever they go. On rare occasion, some Half Nymph Elves band together in a small tribe and live out in the wilderness, but such a gathering would be few and far between. Half Nymph Elves find the most acceptance in Human lands, and on rare occasion some are given a chance to prove themselves (over a great period of time) in Elven lands. If they were to ever return to Nymph lands, they would be seen as inferior and would be clear second class citizens, barely above slaves.

Religion

Half Nymph Elves that take up the lives of Rogues are generally worshipers of Olidammara. Ones who wander from place to place often find themselves in shrines to Fharlanghn. If a Half Nymph Elves is raised in the communities of one of his parents than its common for them to worship either Corellon Larethian or Lloth respectively.

Language

Half Nymph Elvess do not have any language of their own, but they do commonly learn the languages of either or both of their parents while growing up. All Half Nymph Elves generally learn Common and then depending on their living situation growing up, they also generally learn either Elven and/or Undercommon. For example a Half Nymph Elves raised by his Elf mother as a slave in a Nymph city would learn Common, Elven from his mother and Undercommon from his environment. But a Half Nymph Elves raised by a Elven mother entirely in an Elven city would only learn Common and Elven, where a Half Nymph Elves raised in Nymph society never seeing an Elf might not learn Elven. A Half Nymph Elves raised in a Nymph city does not have to have the influence of the Elven parent to learn Elven, that just makes it more likely that they would.

Names

Half Nymph Elves names are commonly given to them by one of their parents and are generally named using common Elven or Nymph names.
