Homebrew Cadence Elf Species Details

Physical Description

Cadence Elf are usually somewhat tall and slender with skin tone and hair color covering the wide range of colors normally present in humans. While they appear human at first glance, all elves look like half elves regardless of whether they have solely human, elf, or mixed heritage. They commonly are confused with half elves due to their pointed ears and human like appearance. However, Cadence Elves all share an attractive physique, with women tending to have curvacious bust and hips and men having athletic toned bodies.

History

A long time ago, after the gods left the material plane, the looming threat of a demon invasion was foretold to destroy all life on the prime material plane. The gods, desperate to protect their children, but unable to directly intervene, decided the most they could do was plant a seed of courage into the soul of a brave child. This child, surrounded by many courageous and honorable individuals, grew up learning to protect others. When the day of the demon invasion arrived, the now teenage elf rallied those around him and managing to defeat the demon horde after a long and grueling battle. The elf, succumbing to his injuries, passed shortly thereafter.

Since then, the Cadence Elves' soul has continued to reincarnate into worthy individuals of elvish or human blood. It is said that these new elves however, can not escape fate and as such, will be destined to fight against any great evil that appears on the material plane. These newer elves have defeated many a figures of evil, and even if they should fail, future elves will be born to take up the task of defeating that evil in their stead.

Society

The gods that created the Cadence Elves tend to at least ensure a Cadence Elf will be born in an environment that nurtures their growth, as to enhance the likelihood of the elf succeeding in their task. As such, Cadence Elves are usually raised in the human or elven homelands and kingdoms, but sometimes if a Cadence Elf is born in an eleven kingdom, they are ostracized due to their human like aging and unusual powers.

Cadence Elves often fit in well with many societies due to their half elven appearance, but they can never form a society of their own as there can only be one Cadence Elf alive at any time. Despite this, many elves can still learn about their predecessors due to many of them being considered legends due to their slaying of many great evils and having a great many stories told about them.
