Nyx Hemlock Flutterfeet

Nyx was born on the winter solstice in the Feywild to two mothers, Plum and Daffodil. He was cursed with wild magic at a young age after picking up a magical acorn while exploring the woods surrounding the village of Home. He sat fire to things in his sleep as a child before he was taught control by his mother Plum, a fellow sorcerer. He was born with bright, pink hair, but it was changed to blue due to a wild magic surge.

###### Leaving Home

Nyx decided to leave his Home and everything he knew after finding a medallion with a picture of a beautiful Elven man. He left everything to find the elf man, as he called him. He searched for information about the man from everyone he met. He found the name, the House to which he belonged and found several books he had written and Nyx even went so far as to learn Elvish so he could read the books he had acquired.

He happened upon the elf man by chance much later aboard the merchant vessel The Sea Drake on an assignment to repay a debt owed.

##### Meeting the Wild Fyres

After leaving the Feywild, wide-eyed and naïve, Nyx met the tiefling Nirámi just outside the tear into the Feywild in The Jade Sea. He thought she was interesting and beautiful, having never met or even seen a tiefling before. He quickly decided that she was going to be his first friend in the Material Plane and left her with no real choice in this matter, latching onto her and following her to Dapple Hills after resting with the forester Jeremy.

In Dapple Hills the unlikely duo met Remnant and Omen, a centaur and a human, both of which he was fascinated by. Remnant because of his difference to himself, being a centaur and a huge one at that and Omen for his rugged handsomeness. Nyx offered Omen a little apple tart he bought from a vendor entering the town and the human was instantly friendlier to Nyx, something that pleased him greatly.

After being rejected by an elf at a bathhouse due to Remnant being a centaur, the group decided to look for an inn that offered baths and came across The Cider Spring where they sat and drank together. They were offered a job there by a fire genashi called Darius Jenkins, owner of a store in town called The Cave of Wonders. They group signed a contract with Jenkins and have been together since.

##### Meeting Ferrhen Killbride

The Wild Fyres took a job on their way on assignment for Darius Jenkins that led them to the small town of Nether Puddlestone where they fought and killed a mating pair of gryphons. While celebrating their victory, Nyx decided that he wanted to find a pretty man to practice kissing with after being thoroughly denied by Omen.

Nirámi helped scope out the place for Nyx and her gaze fell upon a blonde human paladin sitting in a corner, nursing an ale. She introduced Nyx and the two men started talking. They relatively quickly decided that the kissing thing could be arranged and Nyx used a magic ring gifted to him by Jenkins to grow big for an hour and spent said hour kissing Ferrhen. He happened to be going in the same direction as the group and they decided to bring him with them and as they were traveling, Nyx and Ferrhen got to talking. Nyx was fascinated by this clever, kind and beautiful man and slowly, but surely fell for him.

When Ferrhen left to see his family shortly after, they decided to exchange letters and Ferrhen invited Nyx to visit him in Taegris, which he did and met most of his family. They spent about a fortnight in Taegris together.

Unbeknownst to Nyx, Ferrhen told them about how he had fallen in love with Nyx as he was leaving again to attend Nirámi and Daniy's wedding and Ferrhen's father disowned him. Nyx didn't find out until a few days after.

##### Saving Briar from the Circus Folk

Briar had left the Feywild to find Nyx and his elf man. Nyx was told this in a letter she left behind with the forester Jeremy who lived just outside the tears into the part of the Feywild where Home is. Nyx was very afraid for his friend as she flew out of the feywild without any knowledge of the material plane, much like he did 5 months earlier.

She was, however, not as lucky with her first friends as Nyx had been. Briar was kidnapped by a group of traveling circus folk who wanted her to perform with their troupe. After she refused, they put her in a cage. To a pixie, being unable to fly is a fate worse than death, so when Nyx found this out, he saw red. He wanted to set the world on fire.

Following leads and notes from Tameth who had seen Briar captured, the Wild Fyres, Ferrhen and Daniy left to save her. After about 3 weeks or so of hard traveling, they found Briar scared and starved in a cage. The group got her out along with the captured animals the circus folk were keeping and after sparing a girl who had helped Tameth with Briar and her younger siblings and their mother, they killed the rest of the circus folk. Nyx had no mercy left in him at that point and just wanted to get Briar back to Home.

##### Meeting the Elf Man aka. Theiraldier Lacos

Nyx had collected little tidbits of information about his elf man from everywhere and everyone he met. Tameth told him the most important thing: his name. Theiraldier Lacos. Tameth had met him as a child and told Nyx of the encounter. Nyx cried at this information because at this point, the elf man had become this almost mythical creature in his mind and finding out that he was real and most likely still alive was a great relief to him.

They met by coincidence on a ship the Wild Fyres were hiring to get to an abandoned rider nest outside Tarem Harbour and the elf man was there too, seeking voyage to the island nation of Starfall from where the captain's people hailed.

Nyx was so shocked to see him that he nearly fell off Omen's shoulder. He learned that the elf man was clever, kind and talented. And yet, just an ordinary person. But rather than being disappointed at this, Nyx felt relief. Theiraldier was no longer this phantom, but a real person to whom you could write letters and receive letters back. As the Wild Fyres left the ship, the two men agreed on exchanging letters whenever possible.

##### Deep Sadness

Nyx was usually a very happy pixie. Some might even call him happy-go-lucky, but his experiences in the Material Plane had changed some things for him. Things he had seen, especially what happened to Briar had left him with fear and had lessened his instinctual trust of people. Whenever he was away from Ferrhen for longer periods of time, his sparkle dulled and he became profoundly sad, more prone to drinking in excess and saying mean, sometimes even cruel things he didn't mean to his friends and travel companions. Especially Omen tried to counteract this, but as the bard was sometimes prone to melancholy himself, it wasn't always successful.

Nyx was often found staring into nothing, either with an empty expression on his face or tears streaming down his cheeks. He usually sought hugs from his friends during those periods and was often seen writing very long, very sad letters to his paladin.

##### The Proposal

After being with Ferrhen for little over a year, Nyx decided to propose to him. He took him to meet his moms in the Feywild, bringing along Omen and Tameth as moral support. The meeting went well and Nyx's moms fawned over the kind and thoughtful paladin who very clearly love their boy very much. Ferrhen even went as far as to ask for their permission to marry their boy, unbeknownst to him that Nyx was already planning to propose himself. Nyx had Remnant make a ring for Ferrhen with a word they share together that had a great meaning for them. Uncompromising. Because that's what their love is.

The paladin said yes and as they came back from their picnic, Omen and Tameth had gathered the village of Home to celebrate the news. The only one who was ever nervous about the response to the proposal was Nyx.

They planned on having their wedding a year from now in order to get everyone they'd like to see gathered and to finish some Wild Fyres business in the desert beforehand. The wedding is planned to take place in Taegris in the Grand Temple, same place where Ferrhen took his oath as a paladin of Hannesta.

##### The Wanderer

While at Home, Nyx asked his moms about his paternal origin and they told him of the Wanderer. They couldn't tell much about him, only that they think he was fey. He was human sized and shaped, bipedal and they remembered his eyes. The only thing he asked for in order to help them were 3 drops of blood from each of them and the memory of his face. Nyx was too shocked to ask about them at the time, but used a sending stone Velma had made for him to ask about them later. They told him that the eyes were amethyst, almond shaped and very beautiful.

Nyx has since looked into things about The Wanderer and has been told and have read conflicting things. He is described either as a trickster who pulls pranks on people and helps them on occasion or a malevolent person with six fingers. He has been described as any gender and many species.

Nyx is planning on looking further into this once they reach Tarem Harbour and their library. After extensive (and often fruitless) searching, Nyx was convinced that The Wanderer was either Ion or Moche. Nyx was told by a demon in the desert that he bore the blood of Ion, something that was later confirmed by the two gods Kir'sekai and Rayien whom the Wild Fyres met in the godly plane after Omen prayed to Rayien for guidance after the demon encounter.
