The Afternoon Elves
The Afternoon Elves can be distinguished from their brethren, the High Elves, Dark Elves, Sylvan Elves, Gray Elves, Blood Elves, Communist Elves, Night Elves, Morning Elves, and Tea Time Elves by their dusky skin color, as opposed to white, black, tan, gray, orange, red, purple, magenta, and union jack, respectively.
Unlike their cliché brethren, the Afternoon Elves are specialists in rifles and are the masters of medieval nuclear technology and have an immunity to radiation. Also, they also have a deep super-secret and shameful dark past that they don't talk about. I'm not going to talk about it either.
