They should be humanoid.

As for their difference in appearance, they should be elves (difference in looks is their pointy ears and the fact that their hair color is diverse naturally, alias they can be all shades of color, but the most common is yellowish blonde). Similiar to humans, there should be different types of elves:
 * Wood elves, the most common type of elves, they live mostly in the southeastern part of the world, their average life expectancy in 100 years, while the oldest they can live is 130 years.
 * Lightning elves, they are part of the wood elves, but ideologically believe themselves to be a different clan, and are officially thought to be a different clan. The difference between them and wood elves is that while normal wood elves prefer nature, lightning elves wish for technological advancement, even with the price of the destruction of nature. They accept wood elves to be part of their clan, but apart from the descendants of the generation that left the wood elves early on in history, they originally start in a low social position, no matter how rich, powerful or influential they are. Because of technological superiority, the average life expectancy is 105 years, but they still only can live until 130yo. They live in large nations: Great Rivers of Nordland, Riverian Union, Poditeria, Telaska, Horvikus, Sovulatius. Also, they look like Asians.
 * High elves, they are thought to be children of the God of Elves (or simply: God), resulting in larger pointy ears than normal elves and having innate superior strength (they also can train to be stronger, but the natural starting point and end point is higher than normal elves). They either become leaders of nations or having a high position and being respected by the populance. They can live longer than normal elves: average life expectancy is 135, while the oldest they can live is around 150 years. Their innate superior strength and longer lives made them have a much smaller chance of getting pregnant, resulting in a really small population. Sometimes, a nation's strength can be measured by the amount of high elves they have.
 * Dark elves, elves that have dark skin color. They are shunned by wood elves and lightning elves because of their appearance, but have the same pointy ears as high elves. Ironically, they can get pregnant much easier than wood elves and lightning elves, but it is only slightly bigger than them, so they won't get a much larger population. They live on the northwestern part of the map. Life expectancy is 110 years, while they can live 130 years long.

Some basic things to mention: all elves, including dark elves believe in the same God, and they're stubborn with their religion, so it cannot be changed; they are eventually the same race, but their genes differ, so yes, between the elf races there can be interbreeding; their language is mostly the same, but with some differences, it is something like Slavic languages or Romance languages if you classify the difference between elf languages (and no, I don't mean they are the same as Slavic or Romance languages, but the difference between them is something like Russian and Ukranian).
