Elf (Homo nobilis)

They call themselves the "Elohim". They are the descendants of rich and powerful individuals dating back to Earth before World War 3. The Elohim started a settlement that eventually became the city of Ix. After the Event, they where persecuted by groups of people that hunted them down after falsely accusing them of being responsible for The Event. Realizing the need for individuals that could be long lived enough to help maintain their civilization after The Event, the Colonial Alliance government offered protection to the city of Ix. The Elohim of the city of Ix accepted and to this day, they are part of the collection of states that form the Colonial Alliance. Due to the persecution they suffered after the Event and their ingrained misanthropic views, they tend to keep to themselves. But nowadays, they are forced out of necessity to trade and interact with baseline Human settlements. When seen outside of their lands, their love for luxury keeps them in civilized areas of the planet. There''s even a small community of Elohim living on the Colonial Alliance capital city of Nova Aurora. They are still few in numbers and are a rare sight to most Humans. Most, if not all, of the Elohim died relatively young during the years following The Event by reason of the ensuing chaos, lack of resources and persecution of their race. Their numbers haven't increased as much as other races since The Event, but they still manage to thrive and hope that their race survives in the planets of Far-Star Victoria. Their lifespan can be twice as long as a Human being, with some Elves known to have lived to just over 200 years old.

Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Alignment: Elves love freedom, variety, and self- expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others’ freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not.

Keen Senses: You have Proficiency in the Perception skill.

Evolved Mental Acuity: You have advantage on Saving Throws against being Charmed, and can’t be put to sleep.

Trance: Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After Resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is a language based on Esperanto. It is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among Other Races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.

The Ixian Elohim are elves who dwell in the cities of Elysium. They are comfortable with technology, and many work as planners, architects, airship engineers or inventors.
