Faeries!

[Kender Bard]

If you would like a character to gain a faerie companion for the upcoming plot, please post here with their name and location. If you would prefer to make a newly made character just for this purpose, I strongly recommend making them in Acoia but anywhere is fine.

Rules and facts about faerie-bonded humans.

1) You cannot eat food that is not 'natural' faerie food. This means you are limited to eating vegetables and fruits and drinking milk and water. A rule of thumb is, if you can find it in the wild and eat it, it's safe to eat. Man-made foods, such as wine, bread, and cheese, will cause the faerie-bonded human to be ill and vomit. Meat will make them ill at first, and will cause the faerie great distress. If the human forces themselves to continue to eat meat, however, they will become used it again over time. Their faerie companions, however, will steadily become more cruel and hateful as a result.

2) If a human falls ill, their faerie will seek out a natural cure to help speed their recovery.

3) Faeries can point out food in the wild that is safe to eat. They are also able to lead lost humans through forests.

4) If you die, your faerie will perish with you. If your faerie dies, you will not die with it, but you will "become sad" as the faeries put it.

Changes the human undergoes

Immediately: Aversion to non-faerie foods.

1 Day: Eye color changes. One eye will become the same color as the faerie the human bonded with. If eye colors are already the same color (IE a green eyed human bonds with a green faerie) then there will be no change.

2 Days: Ears will become slightly pointed near the tip.

3 Days: Animals will be calm and unfrightened around you unless you actively try to hurt them.

4 Days: A strong compulsion to seek out forests/woods. Once within them, a calm, peaceful, safe feeling prevails.

1 Week-3 Weeks: Over this course of time, the human and the bonded faerie begin to feel flashes of each other's empathy. At times, this may be hard to distinguish who is feeling what from whom. Generally, though, the human is more sensitive to the feelings and emotions of the faerie than the other way around. With concentrated work, a human and faerie may strengthen bond to the point that they are able to actively feel each other out. If this happens often, it may come to be that the human and faerie's feelings and perhaps even personality become hard to differentiate between.
