FAERIE

BASIC INFO

Faeries are generally considered benevolent bringers of good fortune, but they are some of the most physically diverse creatures on Ryslig and tend to be quite deceptive. They range from lovely but manipulative to insectoid and downright parasitic.

MANDATORY CHANGES

● Insect-like wings, which can resemble any type of insect from butterflies to dragonflies to the common house fly.

● Antennae on their heads which can be used to sense nearby vibrations and keep balance during flight.

● Pointed ears.

● Eyes that can be any color, usually in a pastel shade.

● Thin, translucent claw-like fingernails.

● The ability to shrink in size, down to as small as one inch tall. They will be more vulnerable the smaller they get, but also much faster and nearly impossible to actually catch.

● The ability to create Faerie rings (small circles of mushrooms on the ground) that can transport themselves and others to the location of another Faerie ring. Each Faerie can only have up to three Faerie rings active at once, and the Faerie who made the ring must be present in order to use them.

● An aversion to lying. Faeries have a difficult time telling lies, even though many of them are skilled at twisting the truth. See the FAQ section in the comments for more details on the symptoms which manifest when telling a lie.

● A need to feed on human energy. The Faerie accomplishes this by luring a human into one of their Faerie rings, at which point they are able to sap them of their energy.

OPTIONAL CHANGES

● Any psychological changes are welcome! Feel free to pull from real world myths, canon creatures of this variety, or any other source!

● A fog form. This is an exaggerated version of their monster form that appears only during the fog and is a chance to make your monster more "horrifying" during the fog.

● Travel form: the ability to take the form of the insect their monster form is based on. In this form, the character will look like a normal insect and will be able to move faster. However, they will also be more vulnerable.

● Hair in the same color as their eyes.

● Insect-like compound eyes.

● Up to two extra sets of arms. These may be either humanoid or insectoid, but must function as arms as opposed to legs.

● Hardened, carapace-like skin.

● Longer and thinner arms, legs, and fingers.

● Any number of insectoid facial features such as a proboscis.

● A large, extra mouth somewhere on the Faerie's body that can be used to devour humans as an alternative to draining their energy in Faerie rings. This mouth is able to consume human flesh, if desired.

● The ability to temporarily hypnotize humans, although the hypnosis will have to be broken before they can drain them of their energy.

● The ability to create Faerie dust from their hands. This can either give a human amnesia for the duration of an hour, or transform them into a harmless insect for an hour. Each Faerie can only use one Faerie dust spell per day.
