| - Space Elves: These beautiful lustrious creatures hail from a planet known as S-69. They have made a grand civilization, which contains 3/4ths women and 1/4ths men. By the age of 6 a male Space Elf has had sex, while a female has committed herself at the age of 15. The men of this grand race are shunned by many and for the most part do not deserve to be thought for. On the other side, the females of this planet are loathed by every male in the galaxy. This includes the following: Pee Wee Herman, Barney, Zeus, Socrates, DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Cigarette Company CEOs, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and the many others who were not listed. Years in the entire future out of our lifetimes, this race had troubles. They were hated by female Space Midgets, Orcs, Humans, Elves, Midgets, and any other damn female species out there. War begun short after. In this great war, leveling up and maxing your PTs (Points) was extremely important. For at level 50 with max PTs you could dominate anything you wanted. Also, the higher level you were, the skimpier your armor became. To cut a long war short, the Space Elves drove all their enemies back in time to 2001 and placed them all in France, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other various Middle Eastern countries.

- There are certain races in Speculative Fiction that appear to occupy an equivalent niche that elves do in a fantasy setting; the idealized, Closer to Earth culture reaching toward utopian ideals, or the inscrutable, ominous Fair Folk for whom We Are as Mayflies. Or both at once, of course. When they are not behaving as a standard fantasy elf or, as is often the case, an enlightened mystic race such as Vulcans or Na'vi, they are off beaming up humans, cattle, and children just like their Fair Folk ancestors. Sometimes the elf-like race is implied to be Ancient Astronauts themselves, misremembered or otherwise. Sometimes they are literal Elves In Space or at the very least have elf-like characteristics such as longevity and Pointy Ears. Some anthropologists have speculated that the tendency to imagine any foriegn intruders who are different from us as Elves Versus Dwarves is hard-wired, like the theory that humans are hard-wired to imagine dragons because of our bad experience with snakes. By this logic, we have an innate tendency to classify "powerful" cultures as inscrutable, slender (tall and/or diminutive) beings who were here before us, have better tools and are not to be messed with, versus swarthy, hairy fellows who are industrious, engage in untouchable occupations such as mining, and are migrants. Space Elves would thus occupy an extreme niche in the spectrum. There are three types of Space Elves: Type I is a category of Our Elves Are Better -- actual elves in a non-standard fantasy setting; Compare Urban Fantasy, Mundane Fantastic. Type II is a category of Proud Scholar Race -- archetypal mystical, philosophical beings that fill the same role as elves in a non-fantasy setting; Compare Proud Warrior Race or Proud Merchant Race for the Elves vs. Dwarves equivalent. Type III is a category of The Fair Folk -- beings which are definitely alien but behave almost exactly like the Fair Folk and sometimes fill the same function (compare Ancient Astronauts, The Greys, Little Green Men). Standard fantasy elves or equivalent beings with Serial Numbers Filed Off... These are surprisingly common in science fiction and Tabletop Games (compare Urban Fantasy and Science Fantasy). Ancient Astronauts may count as Type I if they are not merely mistaken for elves, but actually are elves who turn out to be an alien race. Personality-wise, they may be aloof and detached, or (in the case of empathic types) quite gregarious. Either way, they have a tendency to be more mystical or philosophical than most of the other species in the setting. These are almost by definition a Proud Scholar Race, and they are typically pitted against Proud Warrior Race Guy in a straight application of Elves Versus Dwarves. For more information on Type II, see Proud Scholar Race. Like other Proud Scholar Race Guys, Type II are the most likely characters to have Psychic Powers (possibly confined to a single gender) and the most likely characters in the setting to be Technical or Actual Perfect Pacifist People, in contrast to the warlike Proud Warrior Race Guy, who are ironically more likely to be literal Elves in Space. These are beings that fill the same function as The Fair Folk in the story or in popular consciousness, except that they (usually) Descended From Outer Space. This is very commonly associated with The Greys, although not always. Little Green Men can replace Leprechauns. Alien Abduction may take the place of a Changeling Tale. When they aren't snatching up our children, unnaturally extending our lifespans, or performing mystic rites on us for shits and giggles and impregnating our virginal (swear to god!) women-folk, thus leading to Half Human Hybrids. They may be Sufficiently Advanced, or older than the hills. See also Time Abyss. One thing Type 3's share in common is they are invariably Inscrutable. See also Telepathic Spacemen. An oddly specific and not-so-recent phenomenon. For some reason, certain Space Elves tend to manifest as an Always Female Green-Skinned Space Babe with Psychic Powers. Sometimes known as "blue hotties", they're more likely to be blue than green. Sometimes they are part of a Sexy Matriarchy. Examples of "Type B" need not be listed separately, but are worth noting where found: e.g. Type 1-B here or Type 2-B here. It is a reoccurring theme in several works and universes that all seem to be referencing each other. Compare the Three Types of Proud Race Guy: Proud Scholar Race Guy (usually Space Elves), Proud Warrior Race Guy (posssibly Space Dwarves) and Proud Merchant Race Guy, Space Amish or Space Romans who may in fact be standard ordinary people in a diaspora situation, thus occupying a middle position.
