career elf

Someone who plays nothing but elves in tabletop or computer RPGs (such as Dungeons and Dragons), and has gotten to the point where they refuse to play a character of any other race.

They are a compendium of lore when it comes to anything elven about a given setting, but they get offended if one plays an elf in a manner they consider incorrect or improper.

They typically play elven females, even if they themselves are male, on the grounds that "they are more attractive to look at when playing".
Player 1: "Hey, what is up with Player 3?"

Player 2: "Oh, he's a career elf. Just let him spend time with his little elf friends and leave him alone."

Player 3 (Career Elf): "I am a great roleplayer, even though my character is born from the depths of Mary Sue-dom, and I only play one race exclusively!"

Career Nazi

A person who is so focused on money, status and career advancement that they are blind to most of what makes life enjoyable and meaningful. Things, people and experiences that do not directly further their career goals mean nothing to them. How they dress, what they drive, where they vacation, what they talk about is all focused on presenting a competent, successful image of themselves to people in a position to hire them, promote them or give them business. Everything else in life is worthless to them (until, of course, they achieve that success and realize it didn't come close to filling the hole in them they thought it would). Then they reverse tactics and become all new-agey in an attempt to reverse decades of single-minded careerism. Children of these people roll their eyes a lot and think their parents are assholes.
