How can a good character be racist ?

And what is high maintnence elf ? Please elaborate.

If you read elves in stuff like Dragonlance and even in the Drizzt Series Elve consider themselves superior to the other races. They are deeply in touch with nature in Dragonlance and do not let many outsiders within their cities, they are not racist such as slaughtering anything that is not their own race, they are racist in thinking they are better than the other races.

High Maintence is usually where it takes alot to keep someone happy such as if a warrior is happy sleeping on the ground with a bed roll a High Maintence person would want a full tent with a down feather bed, and the tent heated, servants to bring them food and the like.

My question is avians... are they like giant birds just in human shape (like with feathers all over ect) or are they like humans but with wings... kinda like how Angels are depicted?

I picture them like the guy from X men 3, the guy with wings, his name escapes me at the moment.

I'm sure if you wanted to have a pale drow with blond hair and blue eyes' date=' you could RP one that was born an albino, kicked out of his home. Drow dk bent on destroying the world that left him alone as a child, seeking to destroy his own race, the very people that bore him, despised him, and left him on the streets for dead, because of something he had no control of.[/quote']

Technicality: Wouldn't an albino have red eyes?

erm... I'm don't really know, but it would seem that what color a drow is would depend on the FL backstory.

In Morrowind, for instance, the drow (they also have a different name) were turned dark by a god. Originally they looked exactly like the elves.

Unless we have a Creation story for FL, it seems pointless to argue what color a dark-elf is.

It seems possible that even then if a dark-elf travels from another land, he could look exactly like an elf.

There is a creation story. Eldrigal wrote it, and it's in the library: Historic Moments, The Sundering of the Drow. It describes them as being turned black by Lloth, and having white hair.

But don't let that stop you from being original and unique.

I guess that begs to question WHY are drow supposed to be dark-skinned. Because they live underground? Wouldn't that make them pale' date=' or is it a racial quality? If you had a pale drow, why would it be pale? Was it kicked out of its home or something?[/quote']
