-THIS MANGA IS READ LIKE A TRADITIONAL MANGA, FROM RIGHT TO LEFT-
One thing I enjoyed doing when I was laying the groundwork for the Star of Destiny story was the race creation. As many people know, elves are a common thing in fantasy stories, but they're always taken down one of three ways: The little annoying elves that work at the North Pole, the blonde hair/blue eyes white skinned elves most notably seen in the works of Tolkien, or the dark coloured version referred to as dark elves, night elves, or drow. Frankly, though, I wanted to take a new route with this.
Instead, I altered the elves in their appearance for Apollos, yet still called them elves. Some may not agree that they're elves, but hey, this is my story. For Star of Destiny, the elves are known to have dark red hair that reaches from the shoulders to mid back, depending on gender. They also usually have green or grey eyes instead of blue.
Now why is this significant to this page? Well, I consider this page to be the introduction of Star Yunai, a half elven character. Her mother was human and had blonde hair and blue eyes. She was given qualities from both her parents; her hair's colour is considered an abnormal one in Apollos, because it was changed from dilution from her elven blood. Over time, you'll be able to find the qualities much better.
When I redid the elven race, I also made a slew of background information for them. It's vastly incomplete, but it'll do for now I feel. As soon as I get off my butt and fix the rest of my website, it'll be readable again.
