Home Planet: Elpis


Physical Traits: The Elpin look exactly like their sibling. Their height varies from five foot to seven foot. Their hair colors are normally blonde, purple, or red. Their eyes can be any color. Their weight can very as much as one hundred pounds to three hundred pounds. They are normally built slightly muscular or pencil thin. Most are born with pointed ears.

Mating: The Elpin females can only have one set of twins per marriage making the population grow slowly. The Elpin believe in going for whatever you like and most after having kids will go back to their twin and raise the children as a two pair coupling. The Elpin do not believe in marriage but consider it taboo to cheat on your partner or have two twins date two sets of twins instead of one. They believe that if one twin has found their soul mate that the other sibling's soul mate is the other twin .

Names: Their names come from the elven language.

Languages: They all know Elvish and may know any other language that is spoken on Antherius.

Housing: On Elpis they live in the trees, becoming one with nature. In Antherium, they live in the city apartments.

Clothing: Most wear feather and leather. They also like jewels and shiny metals.

Jobs: Most on Antherium work as political leaders or healers. There are many who protect the forests of different worlds along with their own. Some are great warriors for the council or rouges doing whatever they please.

Magic: The magic of Elpis is divided by each set of twins. First, a one twin is chosen for the light. The twin chosen for the light is strictly ruled by the sun and all the laws of Elpin. This twin is strongest during the daytime. The Elpin chosen for the light can either be born an elemental of air or water. Few are chosen healers and less are born for fighting. Those Elpin born for fighting choose the bow because a sword is associated with death. Healer Elementalist

Next is the twin chosen by the dark. The twin dragged into darkness is strictly ruled by the moon but that's all. The laws of Elpis cannot reach this one since his/her actions are chaotic and hard to control. They are normally born an elemental of earth or fire. Many are born fighters with swords or heavy machinery guns if they choose. Any sort of weapon that fits this twin's fancy will work. Only three are chosen in a millennium to become reapers, those chosen by the god of death himself to act as the balance of the universe. Elementalist Reaper Alchemist
*SIDE NOTE* Only members who have rped with 1000+ posts or six months here can become reapers.

Culture: The Elpin are a society shrouded in secrets and mystery. Very few have ever heard these Elpin speak to anyone but their twins or other Elpin. They believe in family above all else then nature and then others. They are not war-like people and prefer peace above all else. Though their is a split in their culture as one good twin rules as well as their evil counter part. The social bracket for the Elpin is exactly like the Antherius. They have a royal family and the only distinguishing trait it has is that the twins are identical boy and girl instead of being both of one gender.

History: Not a lot is known about Elpis since they don't have any technology and their only resource they heavily rely on is magic. When Alstromeria took over many just ignored his reign and continued out their lives. This is when he destroyed the capital city killing many royal bloodlines. This is when the twins in charge at that time joined the already growing rebellion and took over Antherium. Since then, many Elpis have gone back to their homeland to continue their quiet lives but there are some twins that have ventured off into space.

*SIDE NOTE: All who choose to make an Elpin must make both twins and have two different profile for each twin.
