In the Ageless Lands in the Common Continent, things are stirring, great hordes to the east move for new land and opportunities, in the south, the dwarves stir from their keeps in the mountains eager to reclaim land that they have lost, in the west the great Elvish priests ask the spirits of the forest for guidance, the great adventurers rally the lost and the dammed to their banners to create new kingdoms.
But all of that is of little importance, for in the Elvish Forest Retreat of Hawk's Rest, an Elf prepares for her adventure…

- She/They
A medium sized creature dedicated to a ruthless (often hypocritical) protection of nature. They are known as the most beautiful and fair species in all of creation, by Elvish reckoning, they are often liked for their grace.
Their natural talents include climbing, beast taming, archery, dancing (apparently) and magic, a gift that is given to them by the spirits.
They are biologically immortal and can only be killed by violence, poisoning or starvation.
Crimes in Elvish society are punished by dirty looks for minor crimes such as thievery or speaking out of turn. Exile is the punishment for major crimes like murder, killing animals and slavery

A short creature fond of getting pissed, killing elves and industry. Their favorite pastimes involve killing elves, mad science and metalworking. They are known as the ugliest and destructive species in creation, the first part is by Elvish reckoning the second part is by everyone's reckoning. They are often liked for their beards.
Their natural talents include breaking the laws of physics, mining and cutting down trees. Though they are not immortal, they are hardy and have near perfect low light vision. An interest tidbit is that most of their history involves them making an expedition that is initially successful before it fails spectacularly within the decade.
In most elvish stories the dwarves are the villains, the ones who betray the heroes or the most gritty and distasteful antihero.
All crimes in dwarven civilization are punished by death via hammer or permanent conscription into the army.

A medium sized creature driven to cruelty by its evil nature. Their favorite pastimes include being at war with the dwarves, kidnapping children and internal power struggles.
They are known as the most terrifying species by everyone's reckoning, including their own. They are often liked for their terrifying features. It is rumored that their civilization was started by demons, whether this is true or just dwarf propaganda is up to debate.
They are biologically immortal and can only be killed via the normal methods. They also have quite good low light vision.
An interesting tidbit is that the common language was invented by a Goblin general while on campaign.
Crimes are treated as personal matters in their civilization, punishments are decided and meted out by the wounded party. With the exception of Oath-breaking, that is punishable by summary execution by the nearest available member of the guard.

A medium sized creature prone to great ambition. Their favorite pastimes involve farming, fishing and travelling. They are not considered by Goblins, the dwarves consider them as lesser dwarves and Elves think of them as damn near mythical at best, or just tall dwarves at worst.
Elves who have met humans are often regarded as delusional or mistaken, with communications being restricted to what an elf thinks humans act like. Humans are liked for their stature.
They have a hierarchical, and often divided, society that values those skilled at combat or skilled at metalworking
Crimes are punished in ordnance to the crime's severity with banishment, or execution, being a common punishment.

A small creature that is fond of stealing things from dwarves. Their favorite pastimes include sneaking, stealing and stabbing dwarf kidneys. They are liked for their mischievous tendencies. Their main exports are thieves and petty annoyance.
They are not considered all that civilized as they lack a spoken language. Though they do seem to have a good eye for value and scouting if their thievery is anything to go by as they often end up stealing artifacts before sending raiding parties.

The Term "Creature of the Night" is a broad term which is used to describe a number of different beings and entities, all of which go bump in the night. These beings are blessed and cursed in different ways, they are more hardy than your average mortal but are cursed with not only being outcasts of society but also, in most cases, insanity.
The term itself can refer to these creatures:

The term Were creature refers to a number of different beings, from the comparatively mundane werewolves to horrific weremammoths, in terms of what they have in common:
They are ridiculously strong, even when not in beast form.
They regenerate lost limbs were entering said beast form.
They have no control over their transformations.
They loose all control when entering beast form as the beast simply takes over.

A more annoying creature of the night, the vampire seduces then drains the blood of its victims.
They are a type of undead meaning that they do actually get along with other undead quite well. Generally speaking, most vampires tend to be dwarves due to the lack of sunlight they normally get, which makes blending in a hell of a lot more easy.
Vampires are also adept socialites with ridiculously good persuasion abilities, they can suck someone literally dry in from of multiple people and can then charm their way out of any accusation, if given enough time.
As such, dwarven authorities adopt a shoot first, ask questions later approach or they conscript the vampires into the army and send them into the fight first.

The most benign creature of the night, though given the competition, that isn't saying much, these are generally the souls of the dead who have not been laid to rest, they typically will hang around where they died haunting people and being a general nuisance until someone either buries their body or honours their name with a slab. Though while mostly benign, they can still be very ... upset if they are not laid to rest or their corpse is desiccated and can sometimes lead to them becoming very violent or disruptive.
A term used to describe these strange hunched creatures that appear in the night, with glowing yellow eyes and skin as black as night. They are a predatory race that relies on pack hunting if the fact that they appear in groups of six is anything to go by, there have been very few confirmed sightings of them due to their rarity. Disappearances of people who go on adventures are often blamed on the Entities, especially, since their bodies are never found, like they just disappeared, but no one knows where they went.
Magic is the force of nature that is born into everyone, though some make use of it more than others. Everyone has the potential to due magic but not everyone masters it. There are multiple styles of magic, these are typically divided between, Human magic, Dwarf magic, Elf magic, Goblin magic, Divine Magic and Necromancy.
A more flashy style of magic, much like humans themselves, its very versatile but often takes its toll on the user. The spells are often casted with long incantations but are very powerful, with their power being determined on the length of the incantation and the adeptness of the caster.
A very flashy style of magic which is often ignored by the dwarves, the few spells that are casted are ones that are necessary, it mostly heat or earth based and sometimes is a very large explosion or cataclysm that can turn the tide of a battle.
Due to the fact that the Dwarves rarely cast magic, its basically fallen out of existence with the few casters being the bookkeeper of fortresses and occasionally a dwarf marshal.
Due to the fact that the Dwarves rarely cast magic, its basically fallen out of existence with the few casters being the bookkeeper of fortresses and occasionally a dwarf marshal.
A very subtle style of magic which is unlike the elves themselves, it requires no incantations but is very fickle, it requires the user to be in good faith with the spirits, the more powerful the magic, the more favour that they need with the spirits.
Although such limitations can be bypassed by huge mana reserves or an advanced knowledge of magic.
Although such limitations can be bypassed by huge mana reserves or an advanced knowledge of magic.
Due to the fact that goblin society is often secretive and makes sure that no knowledge gets out to the outsiders. Their magic is often reflected in this in that their magic is focused on illusionary spells and memory charms.
It doesn't require long incantations but is often more based on rituals, very fitting when considering the goblin internal politics.
The most often practiced spell is one to hide the room where the ritual takes place. The second most practiced spell is one to break the aforementioned illusion.

Little is known about the magic of the Divines that created the world, the land and the oceans. It is the magic of those who live on high, they do occasionally interfere with the affairs of mortals, blessing some with a mighty destiny or punishing some for hurting their priests or toppling their statues with curses.
A powerful form of magic that is forbidden around the world. As the name implies it is to do with raising corpses from the dead, but more than that it can raise severed limbs, skin and raw meat. Necromancers often seclude themselves in a tower in far away locations to research their magic, which often takes a hold of the land itself, making it more... evil in appearance and causing unnatural weather to occur.
The land around the necromancer's tower is often surrounded by the raised corpses of those foolhardy enough to consider attacking, sometimes, the corpses are raised without the necromancer knowing, like the land itself has come alive and is plotting something.
The previous phenomenon has lead to occasions of adventurers killing a necromancer only to get killed by their own raised limbs or something.

Who said Elves can't be a Hard'Un? Punching monsters to submission and suplexing our enemies is the name of the game!
Sure, we're mute, and that makes it hard to make friends, but we have our forest buddies and the nice voices in our head to keep us company!
I put the Duelist and Brawler free levels into Unarmed, giving it 5, then spent everything else in Dodge and Fightiness. Please do tell if I've made some errors.

We're already a speedy elf, so we probably don't need Haste. Likewise, we're pretty perceptive as is so Detect Undead and Light of the Spirits aren't as useful anymore. So, a basic fiery ranged attack to widen our options besides melee and a damage steroid should help round out Isabella's skills.
That, and you can never go wrong with a bit more luck, and literally being able to punch people to heal them is too hilarious not to pick.
As for the backstory, I think having a sympathetic family, but still reviled by the rest of the town due to Possesion would explain quite well why Isabella chose to go far away where she can't cause trouble for her family. This way, their lives are easier and she can go and find companionship where no one knows of her condition.

Gonna be honest, naming Elves has always been hard for me.
Usually, last names have something with the family's line of work, or it could just say something notable about the person. So, err, Isabella Punchsplode?
In retrospect, Isabella isn't the most elvish of names. Can you give us a example on local Elf names? It could help immensely in getting a feel for the culture, and how the family name should be.
EDIT: Will come up with a fitting last name aftet sleeping.

Well your family is made up largely of craftsmen and soldiers. Your family's founder is believed to be a sword bearer for a king, haven't thought up generic names, given that we'd be leaving Hawk's Rest soon.
