Overview

Buí or mixed breed of the Elven race is generally just the mix between humans and Elves. These are few and far between now but at a time in history, they were common. Elves, being as they are, have always frowned on such relations or creatures coming about. There are, unfortunately, always a select few people (human or Elf alike) that need to do things that are less than proper by any standard.

The Buí are less recognizable than most Elves. Subtle. Their bodies range in the same way as both humans and Elves, and perhaps they are more graceful, perhaps not. It is a matter of where you were born and which side of the blood line raised you. Most have natural abilities, though muted in comparison to a pure blooded Elf. Generally, they develop over the years. Buí are not immortal but do tend to outlive human family and friends, though don't reach the life expectancy of Elves. 200 generally being max and age begins to show due to human blood and genetics.

When a dark skinned human and High Elf breed, it is an unfortunate occurrence. The Buí from that relationship tends to be on the darker side, with no way of being accepted into the Elven culture. They would never be allowed in Alfheim due to a rocky past.


Racial Passive

Buí are half-Elves or half-Dark Elf, born of human and Elven blood. They are less common lately, and their attributes are somewhat different. Some have an obscure or more vivid hair color than most normal humans and while their ears are more pointed than normal, they are not the fully grown Elf ear. They are still frowned upon in Alfheim but not strictly forbidden from entering. The Buí have enhanced skills from their mixed blood.

Gift of Two Suns (Racial Passive): Buí tend to the grace and free spirit nature of elves, but the solidity and determination of humans. Harboring gifts from both great races, they can grow into extremely respectable adventurers. They never quite fit in with either side of their heritage however, and conversation with strangers is often awkward at best.
