Absolutely.

Though, perhaps if dark elf characters were RP'ed as though they were down to their last Soul Strand, and would be lynched, hung, drawn, quartered, fricasseed, boiled in oil, plunged in molten iron, and exposed to Kryptonite if revealed, then perhaps that might give a certain "edge" to their RP.

It is a double edged sword though. While some dark elves would be careful, to RP a dark elf properly, you have to have the mindset that all races are below you. A dark elf believes they are superior to all races in every way and always have the upper hand. Then take into account how powerful some actually are, like Sin was, Alantha, and to some degree Daralith. Those three dark elves walk with confidence that they will survive....

Now with that said, they are not fools and shouldn't walk around in the open on the surface flaunting what they are, nor should an elf walk freely in a dark elf city. I just dislike when people forget what they are dealing with, but I also know where you are coming from when people do not portray dark elves as LORE states they should be.
