Vedalken
The Vedalken are a race of inventive, logical, elf-like humanoids appearing on the plane of Kaladesh in Magic: The Gathering and many others, making their debut in the Mirrodin block to replace the fish-tailed Merfolk. Their most defining trait is their unusual view of progress: in a nutshell, the vedalken believe nothing can ever be perfect or is perfect, and that is something to rejoice in. Imperfection is a chance for improvement, progress is an endless march towards a state of perfection that can never actually be reached.
Yes, this can make them quite exasperating, as their enthusiasm in noting flaws and problems can be quite a social blunder.
