Astral Elf
rare
medium
As an astral elf your aging slows down significantly while on the Astral Plane, for you, your body only ages 1 year for every 10 years you spend on the Astral Plane.
The appearance of an astral elf is that of a mesmerizing cascade of celestial hues, mirroring the colors of distant nebulae, twinkling like distant stars. From rich hues of midnight blues to pale silver and iridescent purples, their hair cascading down their backs like shimmering cosmic veils.
Originally regular elves, Astral elves only come into existence from two elven parents when the conception and birth happens on the Astral Plane, the alien nature of the plane suffusing the child so completely that it alters their very existence.
Society
The astral elves have the unique ability to outlive even the most long-lived of races, giving them the opportunity to see nations rise and fall in their single lifetime. This has made it so that Astral Elves specifically are unlikely to bond with other races. Thus their secluded nature makes it a rare sight for many races to see any Astral Elf let alone connect with them.

Although astral elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.
