Basic Information
"A house-elf is a magical creature which is devoted and loyal to the one designated as their master. They serve wizards and witches, and must do everything that their masters command unless they are freed.
"A veritable legion of house-elves are enlisted by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They work the kitchens, preparing feasts for the entire school. They also move trunks and baggage to and from rooms, clean dormitories, and presumably other areas of the castle as well. In 1994, they became angry with Hermione Granger as she made attempts to free them. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the house-elves fought against the Death Eaters with Kreacher leading them. They defended their masters by using kitchen knives to stab at the attackers' ankles." (Harry Potter Wiki)

Famous House-Elves
You are welcome and encouraged to create your own original characters. However, these are the currently living and available house-elves from the book series that you may consider roleplaying as:
Kreacher: Kreacher was an aged house-elf who served the House of Black with fanatical loyalty for most of his life, until he was left to Harry Potter upon the death of Sirius Black in 1996. He was particularly fond of "his mistress" Walburga Black, who died in 1985, but whose portrait still shrieks orders from the wall in the front hall of the Black house. After Mrs. Black's death, Kreacher let the home fall into disarray, doing little, if any, cleaning. He was also fiercely loyal to Regulus Black, for whom he fought in the Battle of Hogwarts along with many other house-elves.
Winky: Winky was a female House-elf in the employment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who formerly served the Crouch family.
Profile Skeletons
Use this form for house-elves.
I'm pretty strict about the way a profile skeleton looks. Try to make it pretty, if you can. Also personalize it. If you have a troll, make your character profile seem very uneducated, as an example. It's not required, but it's nice to see smile . Make sure you follow all the instructions in the parenthesis while you're putting your skeleton together. Remove the parenthesis and everything in between them when you're done, please.
The crew reserves the right to deny or accept anybody. Please make sure you follow the rules when applying.
Post the profile as your own thread in the Magical Creature Profiles subforum with your character's name as the title. The crew will try very hard to get you accepted within a day or two. If it's been three days and you still haven't been accepted, VixenViVi the link and she will check it out.
Do not bump your thread.
