Knave is right about just doing something unexpected and original, so long as you think it through. Pick a rule, figure out its consequences, and apply them consistently. Playing elves are just "better" humans is boring though. I prefer to look at the genuine consequences of a long lifetime, including bitterness, detachment, and a short of flightiness about things shorter-lived races would consider extremely dire.
