Homebrew Fey Born Species Details

The Fey, or Faeries, are the ancestors of the Elves, and the Fey Born are what occur on the extreme rarity that a Fey mates with an Elf. Not belonging to either world, far outliving the Elves but not living as long or being as powerful as the true Fey, they tend to wander the world, living life as they see fit and taking much from their heritage, many are tricksters at heart, and few are evil, but some choose to be.

The Fey Born Look like Elves at a glance, with long, pointed ears and a variety of Skin Colors, but certain differences exist to tell the difference, the first being their eyes, which come in many more exotic colors than the Elves, and their Bodies basically radiate Magical Energy. Even compared to Elves, the Fey Born are slim, and some only weigh as much as 60 pounds. The last difference is that even the ugliest of Fey Born are beautiful in comparison to most races, and the most pretty Fey Born are often mistaken for Goddesses or Spirits of Love.

The Fey Born Live on the Material Plane, although some eventually move into the Fey Wild, or other such locations. Fey Born Grow Slowly, Reaching Physical Maturity at the age of 1,000 years old, but simply choose when they desire to stop growing, some choosing to stay looking like Children, and some Choosing to grow fully into an Adult, Either way their Mental Abilities are not affected, and reach Mental Maturity at around 18 Years old.
