We had quite a lengthy discussion in the Warlords of Draenor forum in the Sub-race thread about the possibility of a San'layn/Darkfallen Sub-race for the Blood Elves. Now, I am not exactly an RP'er myself but the notion of sub-races seems to have become extremely popular with the RP community so I was wondering what you guys think about the San'layn. From what I understand, they are notorious for being tacky RP cliches, so much so that they earned the nickname "San'lame". Now, lameness and cliches aside, are San'layn for the Blood Elves a possibility?
Also, any other suggestions or comments regarding sub-races and their RP implications would be much appreciated.
Here is a list of the other sub-races that have been considered and deemed somewhat not too lore breaking.
Human: Half-Elf, Azotha (Vrykul-born)
Dwarf: Wildhammer, Dark Iron
Night Elf: Demon Hunter (Green Eyes, Tattoos), Highborne (Radiant skin and hair, golden eyes)
Gnome: MechaGnomes, Sand Gnomes (Jawas!)
Draenei: Naaru Blessed (Light Themed, Perm. Naaru Sigil above forehead), Auchenai (Void Themed features)
Worgen: Wolfcult (Former Grizzly Hills Humans turned by Arugal, Arctic Wolf features), Emerald Worgen (Emerald Dream features)
Orc: Mag'har, Blackrock
Undead: Forsaken High-Elves (a la Sylvanas), Skeletons (who says you need to have flesh and skin?)
Tauren: Grimtotem (Black fur, Warpaint), Taunka (White Skin, Flat Faces, Stout Horns)
Troll: Ice/Sand/Forest Trolls (All leaderless since ToT, Vol'jin's Horde adopts stragglers)
Blood Elf: Darkfallen (Undead Skin), Half-Elf (Shorter Ears, Normal Eyes)
Goblin: Gilgoblin (Aquatic Features, created accidentally by Hobart Grapplehammer, Kaja Addict (Glowing Green Eyes and Veins)
