About elves and immortality

[Nils]

Telchar,

I think Toikien said 50 years before a elf was fully grown, but you'll have to get that confirmed by someone more gifted in memory - Welcome to the downs Ferr - your RPG sounds very entusiatic - good luck

From Myths Transformed pg 426

On Earth while an elf-child did but grow to be a man or a woman, in some 3000 years...


As far as the Reincarnation thing goes, Tolkien's later view was that the Valar would recreate a body for each fea identical to the hroa that it used to have. In the 'Converse of Manwe and Eru', Eru tells commands Manwe to recreate the Elven hroa and that the fea carries with it a blue print for the hroa.
