Homebrew Fork: the fairy-ork Species Details

History

No one really knows how Forks originated, though there are many theories. The most popular theory is that an orc army came to attack the feywild, and in defense, a great fay lord turned them all into semi-fay-like species. Some turned out more like orcs, some more like fairies.

Appearance

Forks have an extensive range of appearances, from some who look like orcs with wings to some who looks like taller and burlier fairies. Some of the Forks with the Orc Heritage have tiny, bumblebee-like wings which let them fly only by magic. Some Forks with the fairy heritage have big, beautiful fairy wings with a stronger build and a small peer of tusks sticking out.@

All Forks can have really any color (though the most orc like ones have more muted and grey colors). Their hair tends to be black from a dominant orc gene, though they rarely have other colors. Because of their fey characteristics, all Forks have a magical element about them. Go to bottom of post for images
