All of your figures are awesome, but you’ve really done that little bit extra with the Lust Elves. Could you please tell me when Yscarloth is going to be released. I definitely must have her in my army.
Thank you.

" What do you think about the Lust Elves?"
[Generic praise]

“What else would you like to know about them?”
The brief biography of an individual from birth to modern day as an example character.

“Does the fact that the Fantasy Lust Elves are not a purely evil race, but more of a strongly chaotic and hedonistic force change your view on them? If so, how?”
Your Dudes is one of the best parts of wargaming. Tabletops like Shadowrun and vidya like Fallout New Vegas show how choosing how good or bad you want to be can be more fun than exploring the trope hat given to you.

" It’s hard to conceive of a race whose every member is evil. In Game of Thrones, for example, it is very obvious that many characters are neither completely evil nor good, or have a quite different take on life than their relatives. So in your opinion, what motivations could drive good, or not-so-evil/twisted characters?"
Excitement in a difficult game resulting in a good baron in an evil kingdom, a lawyer who prosecutes the truly guilty in a corrupt system, a spy in a hostile land. Pursuit of visual splendor can include gardening and general Druid behavior, healing the injured and removing scars, sculpting and creating new life likea Fey being. Once a trophy is taken the results of the hunt like meat, skins, gold from dragons, can be distributed as seen fit to increase the adulation heaped on the hunter. A Matchmaker/orphan matron looking to control a population over generations and steer them into perfection like a horse breeder.

“And finally, how would your Lust Elves army see the world? What would its goal be? Who would be its sworn enemy? Who might it consider its ally?”
Mischief makers. General “don’t fuck with them” Feyfolk.
Pursuit of entertainment, revenge against sleight.
Ultimately steering the world into a greater theater to watch to raucous enjoyment or to jump on stage and muck about in. Like Maleficent combined with They Live combined with Gremlins.

After “The Burn” the branch of the Elven tree that was to become the Lust Elves discovered, and became addicted to, ecstatic healing and body sculpting.

As their physical forms healed their sprits became ever more damaged and they discovered that they had to slow down the constant shape shifting or devolve into mindless, ever hungry, beasts of pleasure.

While all the Lust Elves can shape shift at will, only the most powerfully disciplined among them do so often. For all the Lust Elves their preferred form defines their personal identity and is assumed in times of stress or crisis. For the Lust Elves the fight for identity of self is far more important than the battle for physical survival. For this reason they focus a lot of their energy on refining and perfecting their preferred form.

For the majority of the Lust Elves their preferred form also establishes their membership in the various communities, cults, and family groups of their society.

These various groups tend to sport similar traits based on the preferred form of their leadership… Lust Elves are, by their nature, not entirely in control of their preferred form and tend to emulate the forms and features of those they admire unless they willfully, and determinedly seek to resist this feature. This does not mean that they are so much like their leader as to be a clone…. but they usually share enough traits and features in their preferred form for their sub-group affiliations to be determined at a glance.

Because this tendency towards “wearing their heart on their sleeve” gives the regular Lust Elf a sort of uniform of allegiance it is difficult for them to spend much time in honest interaction outside of their group. Inevitable changes in form and appearance that such interaction induces are often viewed with suspicion and distrust by other members of the group/family/faction/cult.

Elites and heroines, of course, have a much stronger sense of their personal identity and are often more able to resist spontaneous modifications to their preferred forms that regular Lust Elves might experience simply from exposure to a powerful personality. As a result they tend to be the face of their group and adopt highly identifiable preferred forms.

This means that Lust Elf Heroines and Elites have, by definition very strong, very forceful, very dominant personalities that are inwardly focused and overtly self centered.

In this way, hedonism, selfishness, and conceit are not evil traits… they are the necessary key for survival to a race that is assaulted for every moment of its existence by the ecstasy of constant physical flux.

Friends and allies for such a race would be few. Non shifting races tend to be terrified by the abilities of “at will” shifters. Lust Elf society tends to cultivate paranoia as a survival trait and often “overthinks” the motivations of potential allies and move to protect themselves from impending treachery by their erstwhile allies…. by stabbing them in the back. This, well deserved and completely natural, reputation means that the Lust Elves are considered allies of last resort in the long term but are powerful for short term arrangements. The Lust Elves make good allies for a single mission or event but make awful friends or long term partners.

Cultures with strong or coercive moral rules will be the perennial foes of the Lust Elves while less judgemental societies are well advised to keep them at arms length.

The backstory has promise but it’ll be good to know why they are fighting and who they’re specific armies are. The background does remind me of the World of Warcraft movie setting. Just like not all orcs in the movie were bad, it seems to be the same with these folk.
It’d be nice if background can be added to the individual characters too.
