You could say that the Duskwight are "standard package drow" because they live in caves or underground, have skin tones that vary from pale gray to black, and are usually depicted as villains in the story.(08-12-2013, 05:20 AM)Ashren Snow Wrote: but even they aren't a lot like typical Elves aside from their pointy ears, and the fact that some of them use bows.
Oh the Wildwood are definitely your standard package elves. The Duskwight a bit less so, though.
As far as I can tell the Elezen have normal lifespans, they don't have any particular knack for magic, only the Elezen in Gridania fit the role of woodland protector while the Ishgard Elezen are more like the typical Humans in Tolkien type settings, they aren't fair skinned blonde haired, and while they are prideful and what not it's more of what you'd expect from many Human characters, where as Elves typically have a great sense of superiority and less a sense of just being smug.
