Fae (disambiguation)

Fae is a term that refers to the fairy folk, or beings of the realm of the Fays. Fae refers to a wide range of mythical beings; Brownies, Dryads, Elves, Nymphs, etc. What distinguishes a Fae is the connection to some element, or great power over the seasons, and nature (including animals). In addition to these powers, a Fae is typically portrayed as having some of the following traits;
===Personality===
*One Emotion, a Fae may be portrayed as only able to handle one emotion at a time, and thus to give that emotion it's all; may it be joy, or rage. Typically the Fae with this trait will be small creatures such as Brownies, and Winged Fairies.
*Whimsical Personality; as in, they don't stay focused on something very long, but while focused they give the task their all, granting them short lived, but vigerious passions.
===Origins===
*Demoted Deities - The Fae may have once been gods before people stopped worshiping them, causing their power to diminish. Usually in this case they where the embodiments of Love, and/or Victory.

*Too Good for Hell, and Too Wicked for Heaven: Some Fae origin stories state that the fairy folk are angels kicked out of heaven during the War in Heaven, but who where too good to go along with, or be accepted by demons; and thus they dwell the mortal plane. In this case, or cases like this, a Fae will always have some kind of child like innocence, even when causing a death. Typically they simply want to have fun, and view their some times lethal pranks as simple jokes that are being taken too seriously. They will most often be of a Chaotic Neutral alignment, taking on Imp like qualities.
