Lost Image

At some point in your life, you were abducted into the Feywild by an Archfey. The reasons for the takings are individual to each, whether they take a child out of some sort of misplaced matronly instinct, a master artisan to create beautiful things for them to look at (which they promptly forget about or break), or sometimes for more sinister motives. You were fed on faerie food and drink, gradually being warped by the chaos of the Feywild until you were unmistakably part of it. At some point however, you decided to escape back to your native home. Due to the flexible time of the Feywild some return mere hours later after even years with the fey, while others, having spent what felt like a day, returned back years later.

Your return was not without complications. The Archfey, to avoid arousing suspicion, replaced you with a Fetch, a simulacrum looking like you, acting like you, and living your life. Some Lost take this opportunity to start a new life, free from their previous responsibilities, while others fight back against it and its Archfey master, seeking to reclaim what was taken from them. Decide with your DM whether and how your Fetch has been dealt with; and whether the Archfey that originally abducted you is working to recapture you or if their attention has already been turned to the next thing that caught their fancy.

Fey Transformation

Each person's transformation by the fey, while unique, fits into one of the following broad categories.

d6 Fey Transformation
1 Beast: you have an animalistic appearance with horns, ears, a tail, fangs, or claws
2 Darkling: you are somehow less real, with skin that is incredibly pale or dark, you have dark eyes, are unusually thin or tall, have horns, or extra eyes.
3 Elemental: you reflect an aspect of nature (air, earth, fire, water) with red, green, blue, or metallic skin, hair that flows like water, or is made of leaves.
4 Fairest: you have a striking, supernaturally good looking appearance, with brightly color eyes or skin, pointed ears, or are immaculately groomed.
5 Ogre: you have a brutish or fearsome appearance, warty, hairy or scaly skin, wiry or wild hair, or oddly colored skin or eyes.
6 Wizened: you seem smaller, with a deep lined face, strange nose, or twisted limbs.
 
Feature: Feychild

You are unmistakably tied to the Feywild. While in the Feywild, your appearance changes as described on the Fey Transformation table. A creature with truesight sees both of your appearances simultaneously. The denizens of the Feywild treat you as one of their own rather than their usual condescending attitude towards outsides. in addition, you have a knack for finding Hedgegates between the Feywild and the Material Plane, though the specifics of their activation may be unknown.

 
Suggested Characteristics

You have learned to live with the changes wrought to you by the Feywild. You can be very protective of those you trust with your secret.
