Rylie Evergreen

**Author:** WindStruck

**Name:** Rylie Evergreen
no actual titles, but to some is known as "that whelp that burned down Myrtle Grove"
**Age:** 34
**Affiliations:** The Lilac Court, The Evergreen Clan

**Physical Description:** Rylie is a pixie. He stands at about 2 feet
 and 9 inches tall. He has fair skin, long pointed ears, lengthy
forest-green hair, amethyst almond-shaped eyes, and a button nose and
otherwise very youthful appearance. He has wings similar in shape to a
large pair of fly wings. They are diaphanous and golden in color. They
easily glitter in sunlight and shed an incredibly fine, sparkling powder
 commonly known as "pixie dust."

Rylie's clothing is more "traditional fantasy," as he isn't from the
city and completely unfamiliar with steampunk. He still doesn't really
look outlandish... perhaps, more like a traveler from the forest. He
wears a loose, hunter-green tunic (with opening designed into the back
for wings to fit through), matching baggy breeches, and
comfortable-looking sandals. He also usually wears a deep midnight-blue
cloak. Long and wide, it can easily conceal his wings, and he often
wears it to help avoid excessive attention. He might initially pass for a
 young gnome if no one's paying much attention, though his voice still
doesn't seem to match, nor does his face. Maybe an elf child, but
definitely not a Tandem Elf, as he isn't tan.

**Personality:** When you don't really know him: Reserved.
Mysterious. As you talk, he may begin to seem: Aloof, snarky, possibly
helpful. This is also due to the more urban setting and feelings of
mistrust towards city-dwellers. If you truly become great friends, he
would open up. He would definitely be cheerful, playful, and you may be
lucky to see a prank or two. Rylie is always curious, often foolhardy,
but quite good-natured with a respect for all life and the freedoms of
all peoples.

**History:** Rylie was on watch one night when a troll slunk down
from the mountains looking for an easy (and deliciously innocent) meal.
Rylie was no warrior. He was supposed to just alert the real fighters.
But in an impulse and perhaps a moment of not quite thinking things
through, he tried to drive it off himself. It seemed like such a great
idea at the time. His peers would marvel at his skill and cunning!
However, Rylie's attempts only managed to annoy the troll. It wasn't
very effective until he started utilizing fire... but that's when he
accidentally caused dozens of acres of forest to burn down. This wasn't
the first silly mistake Rylie has made, but by far it was the worst.

His family was not pleased with him, nor was the Queen or anyone else
for that matter. He has been banished from his home until he can make
amends and complete several tasks to make up for his mistake. They don't
 even know what those will be yet. They just want him gone for the time
being so he doesn't ruin anything else at home. In the grand scheme of
things his punishment is quite light. Soon enough he'd be allowed back
home... hopefully. But now Rylie is coming to terms with the fact that
his actions can have huge consequences, a terrible burden on his
conscience.. and now he isn't even sure when he will see his friends and
 family next.

Down on his luck and spirits, Rylie took to Tandem City. He thought it
torturous to live alone like a hermit, and with the elves who lived
there, perhaps it wouldn't be all that bad? After all, he had glimpses
of their large tree homes and gardens.. but.. that was such a small part
 of the actual city. Regardless, nothing was much like he had
expected...

**Advantages:**

**Invisibility [Rank 2] (Common-Personal):** Pixies can turn this
ability on and off like a light switch. Some scholars even have
conjectured that it's their "natural" state, though that doesn't explain
 why their clothes and belongings disappear with them. The ability, when
 activated, renders Rylie completely unobservable by conventional sight,
 though of course he can still be heard, smelled, felt, "seen"
indirectly, or otherwise observed by other unconventional means.

**Flight [Rank 3] (Common-Personal):** Rylie's wings allow for
flight. He can move about as fast as normal folks and similarly "sprint"
 like them. This ability can negate the challenge of many obstacles as
he can simply fly over them. However, flying extended periods of time is
 tiring, and it goes without saying those delicate wings cannot carry
quite the same load that two arms and two legs can.

**Spell Resistance [Rank 2] (Rare-Personal):** Pixies are magical in
nature and just seem to have this intrinsic aura which grounds out
magical energies that could affect them. It's really nice if that
fireball doesn't burn you to a crisp, but it's a real pain in the butt
when you're on death's doorstep and the party cleric can't seem to heal
you.

**Damage Resistance [Rank 2] (Rare-Personal):** Fey have a strange
connection to the natural world that still isn't understood. Many
materials throughout the world have a great difficulty harming them.
However, objects comprised of metal seem to have no problem slicing
right through them or causing other trauma. The material, Cold Iron, is
particularly lethal.

**Nature Lore [Rank 1] (Uncommon-Personal):** Rylie knows a thing or
two about his home, their people, and the environment he grew up in.
Applies to plants, animals, fey, basic survival skills, his own cultural
 affairs, and local geographic knowledge.
