Reincarnation

## Introduction

Though it is uncommon, there are a number of fae species who reincarnate after their death. These fae are often the only one of their species and as such, they do not reproduce normally. Fae who reincarnate do not retain memories from their previous lives, but their appearances and personalities may be similar to previous incarnations.

## Species

#### The Each Uisge

Upon his death, the Each Uisge reincarnates after some time has passed, emerging as a colt in waterhorse form from a lake in Scotland, with the exception of the most recent incarnation, who was born to a lake in Wales in the Ethallas forest. The Each Uisge has reincarnated five times, with his current incarnation, Augus Each Uisge, being the sixth. Augus is the strongest incarnation of the Each Uisge so far, and he further distinguished himself by taking on the vocation of a dominant/sexual healer, as opposed to previous Each Uisge, who had few interests besides hunting and resting in their lakes.

The Each Uisge is always male, and they are generally attractive, as seduction is sometimes part of their hunting technique. They always have long, black, straight manes in their human-form, with green waterweed (a unique species of Elodea), as well as green eyes. In true-form, they appear as black horses, from sleek Arabian-style horses, to heavier Friesians, with sharp, ugly teeth. Their black manes are always wet, and only ever completely dry out in near-death situations.

#### The Glashtyn

Like the Each Uisge, the Glashtyn is a waterhorse who reincarnates some time after dying, and is born to a lake. Though they are usually born separately from the Each Uisge, and are almost always rivals, the current Glashtyn was born by mishap into Augus's lake when Augus was five years old, and rather than kill him, Augus chose to take care of him and raise him as a brother, naming him Ash.

Previous Glashtyn had long, wavy, or straight black hair similar to the Each Uisge, along with green eyes, and they grow waterweed from their scalps. The current incarnation is considered to be a 'runt'. In his true-form, he is a dappled, red, pony-looking waterhorse, with a short mane and tail that has pale green waterweed in it. In human-form, Ash has short, curly hair in different shades of red, brown, black, and blonde, though it looks predominantly auburn. He grows pale green waterweed in his hair. He has clear, pale skin, and hazel eyes that can glow when he feels hungry or predatory.

The Glashtyn in his past incarnations was far more bloodthirsty and vicious than the Each Uisge.
