Feyborn Image

You were born and raised in the Feywilds. Perhaps you were an inhabitent of the sparce and ancient cities of the Feywild's, the dangerous forests and swamps where nothing is as it seems, or the Feydark, the haunting mirror of the Underdark found in the Material Planes. The Feywilds are as whimsical as they are deadly. Nature is allowed to run rampant, emotions affect the surroundings in strange ways, and sights not even concievable in the material planes are common here.

If nessesary, consider how your character ended up in the Material Plane. Did you wander through a fey crossing, transporting you to the material plane? Did you commit some unspeakable or nonsensical crime, that caused you to be exiled from they Feywilds? Were you transported by powers outside of your control, such as a Conjure Fey spell gone wrong? Or did you open the portal yourself? If so, why did you do it?

Feature: Enthralling Visage

Even if you have ventured away from the Feywilds, its magical influence lays dormant inside you. This power changes you, and can either control you or be masterfully controlled. Your character's emotions bolstered by the Feywild, allowing your very feelings to subtly alter your body. For example, joy may make your hair stand up on end, your skin clear, your eyes sparkle, your laughter beautiful and clear, or your movements more graceful. Sadness may make your body twisted and crooked, your features pitiful, your hair unkepted, your strength falter, or even create sickness in your body where there was none. Anger may make your build more intimidating, your voice deeper, make illusionary blood appear on your clothing, your skin cracked and stonelike, or your eyes as black as coal. Tiredness can make your eyes red, your breath faintly musical like a lullaby, your skin go pale and blue, or you become unobtrusive and silent. Emotions have a far larger sway over you, but they are far more telegraphed to other people. A Feyborn's happiness and sadness can be infectious to others, especially if they are unsuspecting.

Many Feyborn have only limited control over their Enthralling Visage. However, many of the most notorious Fey can also control their emotions, and use their Visage to great effect.
