What are Half Elves?

Half Elves are a fantasy race that is a mix of a Human parent and an Elven parent. You'll find them all over fictional worlds, often taking some of the best traits from their parents. They tend to be as strong, inventive, curious and ambitious as Humans, while at the same time having the attuned senses, magic and love of nature of Elves. In terms of appearance, it is often difficult to tell a Half Elf apart from a regular Elf. One of the only tells is that Half Elves can grow facial hair and that they have a greater ability to build up muscles than Elves do.

Half Elves have great charisma. As many races that do not fully belong, they are often shunned by both their Human and Elven heritage, forcing them to claim a place in society through diplomacy. This makes Half Elves great communicators and wonderful travel companions.

What kind of lifespan do Half Elves have?

Elves are typically immortal and Humans have a relatively short lifespan. Depending on which universe you're in, Half Elves can be like either or sit somewhere in the middle. In Middle Earth for example, by default they receive the immortality of Elves, but are given a choice at a mortal life. In Lord of the Rings, Arwen chooses this.

In other universes, Half Elves are often not immortal, but they do enjoy (or suffer) a much longer lifespan than their Human counterparts.
