Fae

The Fair Folk have been around longer than even humans have. According to legend they were the first settles on the planet however sometime after the introduction of the human race they withdrew from humanity completely. The only Fair Folk which are accepted at the Academy are Elves and The Fae

Traits

* The Fae are often confused with Elves however the two species could not be more different. Where elven species are very strict on their rules and way of life The Fae are a bit more relaxed.
* Although they have retreated from the human world to their own realm it has been known for the Fae to have children with humans resulting in a demi-Fae baby. This practice is frowned on within the community however it isn't too big of a deal for them. The child will still be accepted into the world and raised as Fae.
* The Fae are semi-immortal beings and age in a very similar way to vampires however for a fae every hundred years is about equal to a year in human terms.
* The fae are said to have been created by the union of an angel and a demon and as such are said to have the beauty of an angel and the malevolence of a demon.
* Like all Fair Folk the fae possess pointed ears which make them stand out to the humans. The shape of their ears is the reason for their heightened hearing.
* The fae are tricksters. Their favourite prey being humans they offer them their hearts desire failing to mention that in order to obtain it they will have to pay a terrible cost. They do this by cleverly worded deals allowing loopholes for them to use.
* Fae are completely unable to lie however this does not make them trustworthy or honest. They have finely tuned the craft of half truths. However Demi-Fae, being half human, are completely capable of lying.
* The Fae have been gifted with heightened senses, sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing.
* The Fae are elemental magic users. The gifts a Fae possesses very much relies on their family, water wielding parents will have water wielding children, Fire wielding parents will have fire wielding children however in the case of the parents having two different gifts the strongest gift will be the one the child inherits. Elemental gifts include ice, fire, wind, or magic such as oracle sight or healing.
* Although the Fae specialise in elemental magic it has been known for some to gain access to darker magic, working with shadows and death. Those that choose to become dark Fae loose all ability to use their elemental magic.
* One of the main weapons used against a Fae is Iron. It is toxic to them. They are also vulnerable to steel, rowan wood, salt and grave soil.
* Fae are able to cross through realms with little to no trouble as such they are capable of dream walking into the dreams of other fae.
* Many Fae who are new to the human world are very very behind on current events.
* The Fae are resistant to most mental attacks against them such as those from Vampires and psychics.
* The Fae are skilled healers, they are capable of healing both themselves and other beings including humans
* Fae are capable of shifting into one other form, their fae form and the form of an animal. This does not include mythical animals such as dragons.
* Not all Demi-Fae are gifted with long life. In order to gain this ability they must first go through a process to achieve this. This process is incredibly stressful for Fae and not many Demi-Fae survive the process. Full blooded Fae have a much higher chance of survival however it is not always guaranteed.
* Despite their trickster nature the fae are as much fighters as their elvish relations are. They are vicious and quick to anger.
