  • Hmm... is every living soul, aside from me, an adept at CSS?

    Also how old is Eccentricity?
    I sent you a message but answer it at your own leisure. I just though it would be a more easy way to contact you but I guess not XDD
    Rest assured, I remember!

    It's just at the current moment most of what I do is on a separate document. I'm almost finished, just need to cover up some other things that need to be done in the SU...

    BTW, I have a picture for my SU, just won't put it on until sometime probably after it starts. It probably won't be necessary because of the appearance section being done, but it should be made soon.
    Ughhh *scratches head* my SU will be posted when I get from school. It's done but on another computer.
    No problem, hope it helps!

    And, uh...I think I'll need another day for my SU-.-'

    I ended up getting a lot more caught up in other things than I intended to -.-
    Seems like Lili's covered quite a bit, so I guess I'll just talk about (or expand on) elements and their associations with fairies and you can choose whether you want to use it or not.

    As with many facets of fantasy, fairies often govern an element. The usual ones, such as fire, water, earth, and air. These are just a few, as they can also govern light, darkness, various emotions, so on and so forth, but unlike the True Fae, these fairies are born with their affiliation to the elements. Examples of such fairies include a Sprite, which acts as a water fairy, a Slyph, associated with the air (and as such are invisible and actually being made of it) and a Nymph, which is a type of fairy that is a deity of an element of nature and, in some cases, have the appearances of them (for instance, Dryad's often have the appearances of women, but various interpretations have them as (usually malevolent) trees). As such, just because a fairy governs an element doesn't mean they can use magic associated with it.

    Now, fairies are magical in many interpretations, often with the ability to cast magic, though are usually weaker than other beings that can cast magic (including humans). This is largely because of their neutral natures. Fairies are, for the most part, not fighters, and they shouldn't be seen that way. Sure, they can be dangerous, but they aren't inherently made for fighting, nor are they inherently aggressive. Usually, they learn magic naturally if they can, often to protect themselves and whatever they govern.

    Also, despite they're mostly mischievous nature (especially Pixies), they are not inherently "evil" (well, most of them, at least). Rather, it is simply in their nature to want to pull pranks, both big and small. "Pranks", in this case, is a relative term, because what a fairy may see as "a little fun mayhem" may be something as dire as destroying objects, destruction of a house, or in some cases, killing (though their intent is still neutral). Fun, right?

    Though this is mostly general information, as a "Fairy" is a general term. There are TONS of interpretations and subclasses of fairies, so it's really up to you to choose which characteristics you want to use to culminate in to a single species called "Fairy".
    Righto~ The issue with describing fairies is that...well, there are a ridiculous amount of interpretations for the various concepts, in modern works and mythology.

    A favorite of mine is the Fair Folk concept; apathetic tricksters who make twisted deals based on exact wording. Again, lots of sub-interpretations there, but the easiest one to adapt would be the True Fae from White Wolf's Changeling: The Lost.

    They work by making "contracts" with others, and parts of reality itself. Where they come from, they can drain people's souls with thistles and brambles, which changes whoever is defeated by them into mutated and mindless Fey-creatures. Again, though, their main ability is contracts.

    Like, say, air. Fairy makes a contract with Air, saying it will give Air the right to sustain its body if it will allow Fairy to walk on it. Or, Fairy makes a contract with Beauty; the deal being that Fairy will allow others to see Beauty by virtue of possessing it. The weakness would be that, if they break a contract, they're severely weakened, and they can only have a limited number at any one time. Also, it's common to give them a weakness to Cold Iron because of some grand faux-pas between Fairies at large and Cold Iron.

    They can also make deals with humans, which are where their malevolence comes in. A human might expect a Fairy to stick to the spirit of the contract, instead of the letter, but a Fairy will do the opposite. So, Human says "I'll give you all of my money, if you clean my room." and Fairy agrees. Fairy destroys everything in the Human's room and blows the remains out of the window, leaving the room completely clean, and the Human has to give Fairy the money, else the Human will suffer whichever nasty end comes if they break the contract.

    So yeah~
    Yeah, I can see you put a more thought and more work into this one, I like it ;D

    Also, I'll probably have my SU up by the end of today, if not sooner.
