Fae

Basic Information

Anatomy

The fae appear bipedal with two arms to four arms depending on their classification. A two-armed fae usually passes as a human with their skin tones being neutral whites, browns, and blacks. Whereas four-armed fae are either green, orange, or blue, with a few shades in between. Some of these fae even have patched skin tones, with orange and blue or green and blue mixed.   Besides their limbs and skin color, fae beings contain horns or scales that appear at random points of the fae's body. These appendages are connected to the fae's magick. They also have wings that reflect the color of their hair. This appendage can only be used to fly, and not to sprinkle "pixie dust." Most fae don't even use their wings anymore.

Genetics and Reproduction

When fae are created, it is through magick only. The Familial Convergence spell is used to created a fae child. It acts similar to a womb, glowing orange and the shiloutte of a baby can be seen through its transluscent skin, which is suprisingly strong and near impossible to break without magick. This spell supports LGBTQIA+ relationships and allows the paired couple to insert whatever type of DNA they would like into the spell. The gestation period lasts for two years.

Growth Rate & Stages

Time runs differently for the fae, such as 5,000 years on Eskǎvaëís or Earth would only equal out to 1,200 years in the Faewild, leaving a fae to look relatively young, mostly in their mid to late twenties.

Ecology and Habitats

Most fae tend to live in continental climates, but ninety-percent of the time, they find themselves drawn to some kind of flora location due to their connection to nature magick.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Fae are omnivores and can eat fae and human food. However, mortals cannot eat fae food else they wish to never eat mortal food again and starve to death.

Biological Cycle

All fae contain horns or scales, which can be hidden with magick. Every few years, a fae will shed off their horns or scales to give room for the new ones to grow in. In the end, the new horns or scales are always sparkly and shiny afterwards.

Behaviour

Fae are particular with the people they meet. While they cannot lie, fae can be mischievious and love a good prank. Those who the fae can sense are good get treated with respect and the fae is more willing to help out, usually for a price though. People that fluctuate in a gray area are often treated with a neutral attitude, but respect is a must with the fae. They may help if the person is in dire need of help, and as usual, a price must be paid. The horrible people get treated with bluntness and sacrasm at times. The fae are also willing to curse the person for the next seven years, or perhaps just punch the bad person in the face.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The fae are known for their gifts in all things magick. While they can use their magick for extravagant showings, most fae keep their magick dulled down and use subtle effects to either help someone along or curse someone for being naughty. When a fae uses powerful magick, their true form is reveal, usually in the form of their eyes, hair, or skin color changing. Four-armed fae always hide their true form while in the mortal plane, aiming to look like a human to pass by without incident, and to keep the Shadows Pact secure while not angering the Shadows Coalition.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

A fae's true name is hidden from mortals, and usually go by M'Lady or M'Lord. If a fae tells you their real name, it often comes with a curse where you cannot speak, write, and think the name without the fae's permission. Now, gifting a fae a nickname is considered precious and the fae will charish the nickname given to them.

While fae have magick, they rarely use it anymore, putting their mages just below the warriors. Those who do not participate in battle are the lowest branch, while children are considered dependents and must be protected at all costs.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
The fae usually don't sleep procreate with other species as to not corrupt the pure bloodlines. In the rare cases that they do, the fae have created the elves by breeding with vampire and the if a pureblood fae sleeps with a human, creating a child, that child is a warlock.
