Flavor Elf

Another strange mutation of the elf gene, these elves are culinary experts baked into their very biology.

Personality

Many flavor elves can be described as "passionate" for their art, art which often involves the cooking or consumption of food. For the flavor elf, life is to be experienced to its fullest and no experience is as intense as that of taste. Bombastic and proud, it is rare to see a flavor elf approaching anything that could be considered apathy.

Physical Description

Flavor elves traditionally have bronze or reddish tan skin, light colored hair or hair with frosted tips naturally, and short but present facial hair with short but pointed ears. While many elves are stereotypically thin and waif-like, flavor elves are as thick or thicker than the average human due to their high caloric consumption. Their skins often remain tanned due to their wandering lifestyles.

Relations

Flavor elves often wander, for new flavors are always just over the horizon. As such they must make friendly relations with as many as they can meet so they can partake in their dishes.

Alignment

Flavor elves trend towards non-lawful alignments, with good flavor elves seeking to better the culinary world around them and evil flavor elves partaking in any food, no matter how dark and forbidden.

Lands

Flavor elves supposedly originated from the mythical land of Flavortown, which they still reference as some form of afterlife of endless foods and flavors. While their real origin is obscured their nature suggests they are a recent breed that appeared within urban environments.

Religion

Flavor elves vary with their religions, but most believe in some form of Flavortown. One day they will take one last trip to Flavortown.

Language

Common and Elvan.

Names

Flavor elves, hailing from urban environments, tend to pick up names from all over the place and from various cultures.
