I've told him he should turn it down.Hey... I don't want to be that guy... But being a 6'6" silver elf weighing in at 245 pounds is considered overweight, I understand that he's muscular, but he weighs more than a human blacksmith to put it into perspective. I'd recommend toning it down to at least 200 pounds, as elves tend to be on the lighter side of humans.
To give some numbers, he's got a bmi of 28.3, which is decently into the 'overweight' spectrum
Ah okI've told him he should turn it down.
Oh, I didn't do it here. I did it when he told me while we rped.Ah ok
Slinks back into corner before popping head out
Profile looks good btw
Sexuality: He got broads in Atlanta
This is why Illden thinks he has an oily personality. XD Also thanks for putting "Oils" there Strat

I'll put it down to 235. But due to a formula used by bodybuilders. Base weight is 100 for people at 5ft to 6ft. They should add 5 pounds for every inch. While 6+ is 10 lb for every inch. Since Bruce Lee was at 165 at 5'7, he was over that by 30 pounds and wasn't at body builder status, but was lean and had alot of muscle. So if you follow up by 5-10 lb for every inch for Azio he would be at 225. Then I added 30 more pounds to look a bit more like the body Bruce Lee would've had. But this shows that I've done the math for his weight, but for your sakes, I'll tone it down by 10 pounds.I've told him he should turn it down.
you may have done your math for something like a human character, but the problem is that your character isn't human, they are a silver elf, and as a silver elf Azio would have less bone density, less muscle mass, and naturally be taller and more on the lean side, such is the way of elves.I'll put it down to 235.

P.S. It's common in tall people to have higher bone mass than shorter people. But vice versa can also be true for some people.

to quote the section detailing the physiological build of Silver Elves-
"Commonly tall in stature, standing on average at least 5'8" and above. Generally thin and lithe in body frame without much muscle mass due to absence of hard labor in their society. Can develop a wiry muscle structure if athletics are pursued, but will rarely bulk out. Their bone structure is also very fine, gracing the Silver Elves with delicate form including long slender fingers and high cheekbones."
no way would a silver elf be able to look something like this
this is a 6'6" 235 pound body builder
that's not changing the fact you're making a silver elf burlier than lore states, plus you're pretty much matching Roy in build there and, I'll repeat, this is a human (burlier, but shorter and stockier) than elves, and he's a blacksmith, constantly working the arms and core, as well as legs and hips due to the motions and the way you smith. I'm not saying the dude has to be a freaking twig, but it should be within a reasonable weight for more of a wiry build.This is a 6'4 240 pound UFC Fighter. The reason why I use a UFC fighter is because they don't lift weights all day long, they work out various parts of their body. So that they'd have much better core and endurance than a bodybuilder to give you a gist of what type of workout Azio would do. Azio is 2 inches taller and 5 pounds less.

Lore states that silver elves are thin naturally. I understand that this rule has been broken and is continuing to be broken, though I would suggest considering following the lore in the future, as it is really what guides all of our characters. If you were going to slip out of lore for a small moment, I'd all suggest doing research about what will happen to your character's body (I'm not quite sure what happens when you bulk way up out of lore, but I'm sure someone has better information on that.)I'll put it down to 235.

I suppose it is quote rare for them to bulk out, but if you did seek to follow this portion of the lore a bit better you could always tone him down to a more athletic build (wiry muscles like it states above.) Perhaps through the course of RP if he chooses an occupation/hobby that would allow him to bulk out, people would be less inclined to call you out on smaller lore infractions. Just my two cents, though.Generally thin and lithe in body frame without much muscle mass due to absence of hard labor in their society. Can develop a wiry muscle structure if athletics are pursued, but will rarely bulk out. Their bone structure is also very fine, gracing the Silver Elves with delicate form including long slender fingers and high cheekbones.
It's not a massive issue as far as we don't need to make a big deal out of it, and I understand the desire to have a big muscly UFC fighter body style, but it simply doesn't fit the lore, so you will need to change it.Commonly tall in stature, standing on average at least 5'8" and above.

Maybe instead of big beefy elf he could go for slum runner body? Still strong and abs for the ladies (and/or men)!Issue raised already, but mate, unfortunately your character doesn't meet the established physiology for silver elves (which you can find here for reference).
The main bit that we're looking at is:

I'm not sure how much you've RP'd with your character, but your options would essentially be to change the race to human to keep the bulky build while dropping height slightly, or changing the build significantly. Elves can still be strong, but they are lean and lithe, and that's what you'd need to change.
(Also don't feel too bad, you're not the only one who's tried a beefy elf )
