Homebrew Fairy (Human/Fey Hybrid) Species Details

Wherever they go light and life follows, but it always seems to me that maybe their own lights have turned off deep down inside.

— Trigger, The Original Symbiont

Though descending from the fey themselves even they were not able to escape the horrible deformations of hybridization. The fairies typically are smaller with wings and deathly pale skin and a set of wings. Their eyes are enlarged and sunken in with nothing left in the iris but pitch darkness. Though they themselves are energetic their bodies typically look drained and devoid of life leaving them looking extremely alien in every way shape and form. the hair that forms on their scalp is easily style-able thus leading to many beautiful hair designs in their culture.

Narrow Sighted Caregivers

Fairies spend their entire life inside of the forests in which they feel most attuned to their fey ancestors trying to denounce all human interaction believing that they were the cause of their deformities. Despite their immediate alien appearance many fairies are greatly caring and wish to help the natural world in any fashion they can. Wherever the fairies go regrowth of the native plant life and light is sure to follow.

Fairies do not fit in to many settings seeing as how they have lived in the seclusion of the forest for much of their lives. this causes most of them to be socially awkward and not fit for any type of rule or communication.

Oral Tradition

Most fairies are taught through many different methods the main one being oral lessons and lectures of some sort. Any and all fighting is typically taught by instructors giving physical demonstrations. This method of teaching is effective but also having no written or recorded history makes them very susceptible to being erased from the world without a second thought and as such many of the fairy warriors train day and night to prevent such a disaster.

 

Seclusion of Terror

Fairies live together typically in forested areas. These areas are typically considered holy lands for their high concentration of spiritual many believe to be caused by the fairies being there in the first place. These forests can typically be noted due to a large central "Tree of Life" that typically houses all of the fairy artifacts in the area that have been accumulated over the years.

Though many fairies do not leave the forest there are still a few that do, those that do typically are hunted down to become slave for spiritual links to the gods and or for the price their wings can be sold on black markets.

 

Pinnacle of Piety

Seeing as how most fairies are the direct descendant of a fey of some sort they are very in tune with most celestial being thus making them the perfect mouthpiece for the gods and other higher beings. This affinity for the divine leads many fairies to be clerics, priests, and druids of some sort depending on the path that they are pursuing and what they hope to accomplish on this mortal plane.

Fairy Names

Fairies tend to be born with more human names but usually denounce their human names in order to seek a more fey related name. Those who keep their given human names are considered Earthbound by most others in the fairy world, but are not shunned at all for fairies accept all of their kind no matter what.
