Elves of Negative Energy
One could approach this, one of two ways. Apply the entropic creature template to any elf (Planar handbook), or… Simply add this racial trait:
-Tomb-Tainted Soul: You acquire the Tomb-Tainted Soul feat as a bonus feat, even if you normally could no qualify for it. (Heal with negative energy, damaged by positive energy.)
Elves of Taint
Instead of full fledged races, here is something you can apply.
-Tainted bloodline: A tainted elf has a minimum corruption score and depravity score equal to their character level. Tainted elves have the evil subtype, but are not necessarily evil in of themselves.
