incoming high elf/half elf concept
so recall my short fanfiction idea entitled the sailing of the farstriders
here we have ship wrecked farstriders, marooned on the dragon isles. there’s a sort of devil’s triangle anomalie off the coast and the farstriders aren’t the first to be ship wrecked there. and the dragons wont let them leave either, keeping the location a secret.
this has resulted in an interesting civilization as different captive races encounter each other in this neutral and rather rarefied environment.
following the concept of the dragon aspects representing different elements, depicted as the primary colors, what if this population on dragon isles is, by virtue of the longevity of elves, mostly half elven of one variety or another, all distinguished by the dragon aspect they are overseen by. for example:
- half elf/half dragons of alexstraza. red themed. element fire.
- half elf/half dragons of kalecgos. blue themed. element water.
- half elf/half dragons of ysera. green themed. element nature.
- half elf/half dragons of nozdormu. bronze themed. element arcane.
- half elf/half dragons of neltharion. black themed. element shadow.
or rather than half dragon, they are half elf and half of one of the various races that also ship wrecked there. this could explain why the dragon aspects, who guard the dragon isles, always choose to mimic elves for the most part, when in non dragon form.
the variants could all be customizations for the same allied race, rather than separate allied races. in other words, you’d have fair skin, red hair for alex. medium skin, blue hair for kalecgos. night elf skinned, green hair for ysera. medium skin, blonde hair, for nozdormu. and dark skinned, dark hair for neltharion (think wrathion’s new model)
then use the slightly thicc’er physique of the aspects for the models. for example this model. but give the models wavy curly hair as an option so they are visually different in not just build but in hair types. an example might be kalecgos blue but short curly, long curly, long straight and short straight. or neltharion black and long-straight, short straight, long curly, short curly. etc.
4 hair styles, 5 hair colors, 4 skin colors.
