Fae can change there outer appearance to resemble creatures of there Element of Similar power (this includes more complex elemental combinations). Fae can can Create, Destroy and Manipulate There Elemental Combination, they have also partial control over there given Elements.

Fae reproduce in the Void, beginning as Constructs created by there parents who grow complex enough to develop individuality and a personality.

Growth Rate & Stages

Fae develop over five Stages of live defined by there Void construct complexity. The First Stage lasts from the moment there construct is created by there parents up to the point where they develop there first truly independent thought.

Some Fae transition into the Material World though a Void Anomaly or a corresponding Elemental Anomaly, where they enact the Will of there overlord or seek to Rule themselves (mostly as monarch of other Elemental Creatures often Wisps).

It is of Note that Void Energy Flow is provided by Void Anomalies and other living Creatures, but not materials such as Electrum which just store Void Energy.

Additional Information

Fae don't posses The Elemental Sense of other Elementals and instead see Void energy as motes of light colored by the Element currently influencing it. They also posses the senses / communication method corresponding to the creature they have shifted themselves into. Fae mostly communicate with each other through manipulation of Void energy in there immediate vicinity.
