Suggested Characteristics

Suggested characteristics for characters who have the Touched by the Fey (Moonshae) background.

d4	Personality Trait
1	I get a far off look in my eyes sometimes. I know the world is so much more than what most of us see.
2	I’m more comfortable with those who are more fey-like than those who are normal.
3	I tell children the fairytales of the Moonshae Islands because there is truth in the fiction.
4	I may be touched by the fey, but I’m not fey and I still live in a world of mortals. Even though I see more than they do, I don’t look down on my peers.

d4	Ideal
1	Hope. I’ll use this fey insight to make the world a better place. (Good)
2	Aspiration. The fey have given me a different way to see the world, and I’ll use that to make something of myself. (Neutral)
3	Greed. Now that my eyes have been opened, I will use my sight to take what I want. (Evil)
4	Creativity. My art is the truest form of expression and freedom. (Chaotic)

d4	Bond
1	My friends are what keep me grounded in this world. I don’t know what I’d do without them.
2	My family has accepted my different perspective on the world and still loves me. I don’t know what I’d become without them.
3	I saw a way to hurt a person and did. I need to make up for that injury.

d4	Flaw
1	I see people’s problems and can’t help but meddle.
2	I’ve embraced my “fey” nature and it annoys both fey and mortal equally.
3	I tell people that I’m friends with the fey, and it’s gotten me in trouble more than once.
4	I take life a little slower than I should, and I don’t always act decisively when I should.
