Most of my characters have been human and most of them were very interesting.
I've played a desert elf though, and the mentality of this race is..very strange. They're kinda like the fremen of the Dune Series in a roundabout way, but they don't ride sandworms. In fact they don't ride anything. It's considered shameful for any elf to ride a mount. They roam the world on foot. Thievery isn't just a way of life to them, it's considered a highly cultural artform. In the city, an elf might be a pickpocket or scam artist..in the desert the elf might be a raider or poacher, or a trader who brings raw materials and finished goods (looted from raids or crafted themselves) into the various centers of commerce, to get more than they think they're worth for them. ANY kind of stealing, from items to lives to coins to virginity, is fair game for the elf. But it's not just wonton thievery. It's carefully calculated, culturally justified, boast-worthy, and performed with a certain panache.
The game is Armageddon, docs can be found at
