View source for Vanzatli'Driin (3.5e Race)

===Physical Description===

Resembling tall, slender elves at first glance, the Van'Driin tend to have dusky or ashy skin and greyscale hair; But despite the shades of black, grey and white, their hair tends to retain an iridescence, even in dim light. Their eyes tend to be the only thing vibrant about them, shades of every hue imaginable and intensity that makes them appear to glow. 

Physically, there is almost no distinction between the two genders beyond their reproductive organs; This race has broad shoulders and broad hips, tending toward lean muscle and little to moderate body fat; Rippling muscle and jiggling rolls are as alien to the Van'Driin as the sun is, seen as failure to maintain the body properly, evenly and naturally, such as would occur from hunting and general exercise. Likewise, they have a tendency to keep long hair, which can be confusing for outsiders when combined with their patches of soft fur.

However, The Van'Driin also have features unlike other elves. Short horns poke through their abundant hair, often resembling those of a goat or antelope, or the antlers of a deer; These horns grow as they age, eventually becoming too large to hide by the time they are middle-aged. They have long, slender tails tipped with a tuft of hair, and their legs are digitigrade like a beast's, ending in pawlike feet with an appearance halfway between those of a wolf and a bird of prey. 

The Van'Driin also typically have thick, soft fur along their hands and forearms, the lower halves of their legs, across their upper chest, inner shoulders and collarbone, and along the entire length of their spine; They typically possess no facial or body hair beyond this. Short retractable claws hide within the tips of a Van'Driin's digits, masquerading as ordinary but sharp fingernails and toenails until needed.

The final distinguishing feature of a Vanzatli'Driin is the dark-edged, vertical slit on their forehead. At first glance this just appears to be a mark, be it a birthmark or cultural habit, but in truth this slit is a closed eye, often kept shut as an attempt to fit in with other humanoid races.

As far as clothing, the Van'Driin prefer loose-fitting and comfortable clothes that don't bind their fluid movements, leave them vulnerable to the sun or advertise their aberrant forms; Things like trenchcoats are exceedingly common among them. Their clothing is typically a dark shade, so as to blend in with the shadow they so often find themselves in, and jewelry they wear tends to be worn underneath their clothing so as not to attract attention.
