ELFEIN
Name of Species: Elfein.
{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}
Baseline Dimension: Elfein are typically similar in height to Humans often ranging from five to six feet in height. On average they tend to possess a more slender appearance than humans but still typically weigh between 110 and 130 pounds as full grown adults.
Due to their unique physical biology, Elfein are a strictly female race.
It is not possible for half breeds of this species to exist.
Baseline Appearance: In terms of outward appearances, Elfein are often slender and share similar physical qualities to smoothly toned humans. Eye colors tend to range from green to brown as well as shades of blue or teal. These may be faded, dark, or even brilliant in tone. As far as Elfein hair is concerned it maintains a silky fine and often straight appearance. Due to its consistency Elfein hair sheds water easily and is difficult to style. Artificially curling Elfein hair is almost always an impossible feat to accomplish. Hair tones share all the variety normally seen in humans but with added possibilities for silvers and pale silvery blues to occur. Skin tones of this species tend to lean more towards fairer and paler tones and are almost never dark. One key difference which stands out are Elfein ears which are long, slender, and pointed ranging from an inch or two beyond human norms to sometimes lengths of six inches or more. Despite having a generally outward elfish appearance and reaching physical maturity within the span of their first eight years, the average lifespan of an Elfein is similar to that of humans.
Culture/Origin of Species: It is unclear as to when the first members of the Elfein appeared but their presence in history has been deemed both a curse and a blessing. With their innate resistances to poisons lone members of the race would often sell themselves to employers as assassins, luring in targets with their deceitful elfish charms before coaxing their victims into a grim demise of poisonous intoxication. Others choose to meld with common society and exist throughout the known world, passing themselves off as elves and attempting to experience normal lives. But because of their biological structure and physical inability to procreate with other members of their own race, the overall Elfein population is relatively small and they require the assistance of another living humanoid belonging to a different species in order to reproduce. Once intimate acts produce results, the Elfein ejects a pupae-like membrane from an organ extending up into her trachea. A sticky acidic resin is then applied to the pupae from the parent both as protection and a source of nutrients for the offspring. Because of this method of reproduction the vast majority of Elfein are seen by the common populace as goblin-like parasites whose only goal is to steal the essence of humanoid male victims in order to produce and continue their line of succession. This social aspect, coupled with their stigmatizing method of reproduction poses a serious problem for any Elfein who seeks to engage in either normal or romantic relationships.
Newborn members of the species mature inside of a tough pupae-like state and form into a visual appearance of not more than ten years within a matter of three months before they are officially born into the world. Even as newborns, Elfein retain the knowledge of memories and experiences from their Elfein parent and may even inherit some of the memories and experiences derived from their donor parent. It is not uncommon for an Elfein parent to abandon her child to avoid being exposed as newborns are deemed independent upon birth and do not actually require a family setting to survive.
As memories and experiences are passed on from parent to child most members of the species reach mental maturity at incredibly young ages. Due to the inherent controversy behind Elfein history and an unwitting ability to remember past wrongdoings from before their own time, most members of this species tend to actively avoid forming close personal and romantic relationships, reserving themselves to maintaining acquaintance-like friendly relations with others instead.

Traits:
•Natural Toxins: Elfein possess an organ which naturally produces a sticky resin-like and toxic acid within their bodies. The substance can be collected and used as a rudimentary poison to coat weapons or to make concoctions. While the substance itself is not harmful to Elfein it can cause significant burns or irritation if it makes contact with the skin of those who do not possess a strong resistance to poisons.
•Poison Resistance: With the way in which their anatomy works all members of the species have high tolerance against toxins, granting them a natural resistance to acids and poisons. Because of this trait Elfein are not susceptible to food poisoning and other low-grade poisons.
•Keen senses: With naturally attuned organs in their ears and sharply adjustable eyes, Elfein have heightened awareness when it comes to sight and sound and can even see clearly in lower lighting conditions.
•Memory Boost: Because Elfein directly inherit the majority of their initial knowledge from their biological Elfein parent they are exceedingly intelligent and capable.
Flaws:
•Elfein are inherently asocial, preferring to remain alone and limiting contact with others outside of necessity. Due to the stigmatisms regarding their species Elfein are massively shy, skeptical, and untrusting of others when it comes to social encounters which makes it exceedingly difficult for them to form lasting friendly relationships.
•Hyper Sensitivity: Due to their heightened sense of sight and sound, Elfein are extremely sensitive to sudden changes in lighting and loud or high pitched noises. For example: Going from a poorly lit room to a bright sunny day outdoors after a fresh snowfall can cause temporary blindness while excessively loud noises make for issues with chronically induced headaches.
