Genetic Ancestry: Faerie Size: Small Languages: Elcharean Poor stats: Strength, Constitution, Wisdom Good stats: Charisma, Intelligence Vision: Slightly above average Night Vision: Slightly below average Homeland: Faeries hail originally from a ring of magical islands somewhere in the western ocean. The exact location of these islands is held as a great secret, but it is known that the isles themselves are partly responsible for the magic of the faeries. However, once severed from those lands, the faeries lose their talents and can no longer shift size or fly. Personality: Faeries tend to think of themselves as a superior race, and therefore have little to do with other races, except for elves. The faeries seen beyond the home isles are outcasts by choice, stripped of their magical abilities and their places in faerie society. Some long for the home they left behind, some cultivate strange obsessions, and others mourn the loss of their magical abilities. Physical traits: Faeries are typically around four feet tall, no longer possessing the ability to change their size at will once they've left the home isles behind. Their delicate but flexible butterfly-like wings allow them to fly with native magic, but can be a hindrance in battle. A faerie's slight stature makes them considerably weaker and less sturdy than humans. However, they make up for these short comings by being more nimble and intelligent than humans. Most races who chance to meet a faerie consider them to be very attractive. Appearance: In some lore, faeries are the wee people. In others they are sprites or evil pixies. But in fact, they are all of the above. Short and thin, they look like the handsomest of humanoids with shimmery wings growing on their backs. Faeries have pointed ears hidden behind long, dark hair. Their skin colour varies depending on what form they held before they left their home isles. They range from the palest of white, to green, olive and even a light brown. Most common occupation: Mage
