Physical Characteristics

Selaphae are often lean figured and pale skinned, with hair in various striking colours ranging from bright reds to soft violets and ambers, and with bright eyes occasionally flecked with silver or gold. They are tall and bear some elongated features; and while not particularly strong, their biological system has numerous redundancies, including a smaller, secondary heart - traits that grant them an exceptional knack for survivability even in the face of grevious wounds and illness.

Mental Characteristics

Selaphae have a long life that lends quickly towards traditionalism and habit-forming, with most elves being slow learners but having accurate recall and cognition. They often struggle to learn new concepts, a difficulty that often gets worse with age, as their long memory and long life span makes untraining old habits, ideas or mechanisms difficult.

Magical Characteristics

Magical bloodlines in selaphae are quite common, manifesting in roughly 1:100 individuals. Manablooded selaphae can often be detected by further angled features, and a subtle dermal ridge around the cranium, knuckles, and collarbone - as their skeleton becomes slightly more pronounced in its profiles, making this all the more obvious where edges of bone are against skin. Selaphae are naturally attuned to magic - and can detect obvious magic by touch as a vague sense of energy or current.
