Homebrew Fae Species Details

Hailing from the Feywild you are a creature of chaotic being confined by strict rules. Fae are whimsical beings that few really understand and they probably know this, being known as tricksters and playful souls. Shrouded in mystery and fairy tale you go out into the world to sate your own desires under the apprehensive eye of the general public. Are you dangerous? Are you going to eat Gertrude's baby? Who knows. The stories about Fae are almost just as wild as the real thing and this can put a lot of people on edge, but lucky for you your natural charms and whimsical nature can put those who aren't as knowledgeable of your nature at a great ease... And maybe take advantage of that.

Your shape or form can vary wildly just as most things in nature. Generally Fae are smaller. Each Fae is unique as they are born from the wilds themselves at a fully mature stage. Their appearance can change and morph depending on their environment but stay at least somewhat consistent from what they were first born from. This appearance takes on the form of traits taken from local flora or fauna. For example a Fae born on a riverbank might look more fishlike and sprout fishy ears or gills, with blue skin and wild always wet hair. If they moved on to a forest, wild clumps of moss might grow on the sides of their cheeks and their hue would shift to become more green. Sometimes these differences are so extreme based on the environment the suggestion to classify certain Fae subraces has been floated. But so many researchers being lost to the Feywild has put this idea on hold. Before they're lost however some report certain Fae having wings and being small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Others can be massive lumbering idiots that resemble tree folk. But these are probably just delusions before succumbing to the toxic pheromones' secreted by the nearest carnivorous plant. Who knows...

 ps, this race is frankensteined from a few other people on this site, not claiming this is original I just wanna use it in this way.

Age

The age of fey is always mature, they are born from nature and live for great amounts of time. Tiny primordials with bug eyes and small statures would be a good comparison. Giving an exact range of years is pointless.
