Homebrew Fey Species Details

 

Timeless Perspective

The birth of full-blooded Fey children is rare due to complications between Fey parent's genetics. Fey hybrids are more common through and always take on the dominant appearance of their Fey parent. Fey will always take their child back to their pocket dimension to be raised as a Fey with little to no connection to their mortal parent unless their mortal parent decided to stay in the Fey realm.  Full-blooded Fey children are treated like nobility from birth due to the rarity of their existence. 

Truth and Compulsion 

Fey have the ability of compulsion on humans. Fey can make humans compliant with any order commanded. Fey often control mortals to perform housework and act as mindless house staff. Fey have been known to use mortals as means of entertainment. Despite this power, Fey cannot lie and are bound by their word and oaths and must follow them through. Their crafty minds usually allow them to cheat on the deal though making them notorious tricksters. 

Fey Pocket Dimensions

Fey Names

Fey are given their names at birth by their parents similar to humans naming their children. Though some Fey grow so old as to forget their birth name. This leads many Fey to be referred to by deeds or acts they are known for. Fey are bound by their full names.

Due to this Fey almost never reveal their full names instead to be known by their first name solely or titles.
