Welcome to Gaia! ::

Playable Races

Humans: Remarkably similar to Homo-Sapiens . . . Most human characters must dissplay a persistent stubborness in disbelieving in anything related to magic. Indeed, one might be attacked by werewolves and nearly killed but insist to their friends that it was merely a pack of rabid dogs. The few who are not affected by the faeries' spell will be youth, perhaps in their early teens. They are most likel either scoffed at by their peers, or they have kept their own counsel from the first.

Vampires: Vampires herebouts are not unconsionably insane, but they can become so if they have suffficient 'bloodlust'. A vampire can exist upon the consumption of animal blood, but many refuse to lower themselves as such. Other than pale skin, due to lack of exposure to UV rays tthan anything else, a vampire looks much as any other human might.

Werewolves: Many still run with packs of wolves, choosing to become wolf rather than man during the various phases of the moon. But a good many try to hang on to the shattered remnants of their human lives. Most have naught to do with former family and friends, for fear of harming them in unguarded moments. They live solitary lives.

The Faye ((Faye Royalty will not be playable in this campaign, except under mitigating circumstances.))

Sprites and Pixies: Ranging from 4 inches to three feet in height, these little girls tend to resemble early teenagers, but have been known to have more mature figures on occasion. The main difference being the wings sprouting from their backs. These wings generally resemble butterfly wings, or dragonfly wings, depending on the lineage of the faerie herself. Those from the more aristocratic lineage have the more decorative butterfly wings, while the 'lower class' faeries have the more practical dragonfly wings. They like to think of themselves as being friends to nature, but they really have to work hard at suppressing their own mischeivious nature. After all, it wouldn't do for the elves to realize that they're lady-loves aren't perfect examples of the feminine spirit of Mother nature.

Elves & Brownies: Mischeivious to a fault, their favorite thing in the world is to play practical jokes on the unsuspecting. They range in height the same as their faerie cousins and share te same teenage builds, but their faces tend to be more childlike. One might say imp-like. By no means do they consider themselves at one with Mother Nature, but they do have an affinity for the natural. Having no wings themselves, they have learned to get arround by other means. It is not unknown forthe elves to have bug and bird friends willing to trnsport them wherever they please. The more self reliant brownies tend to secret underground passages and tree routes.Both have an uncanny inherent knowledge of plants. They know how to make simple poisons and antidotes. An elf may by nature be tricksy, but watch out if you ever give one reason to dislike you. They are very sensitive to wrong-doings, and consider harm of nature to be unjust.

Player: Merisaa
Name: Cecelia
Race: Human - Villager
Appearance: Being only five feet tall, she tends to be mistaken for being younger than she really is. And seeing as how she's only seventeen, she finds this very irritating. She has shoulder-length copper-brown hair which somtimes looks red in the right lighting. She's a little wiry, and by no means voluptuous, adding to her childlike appearance.
Skills and Abilities: Cecelia is a remarkably good cook, having inherited hundreds of years worth of experience passed down verbally from her relatives. She is also a decent dancer, and a horrible seamstress. Her brotherse taught her how to defend herself, so she is reasonably proficient with a knife, a sword, and a shortbow. More with the kinfe and shortbow than the sword, seeing as they tended to be quite heavy. But she could run circles around the average peasant with a wooden sword
Bio Summary: Cecelia grew up the only girl in a family of eleven boys. Somehow, she was able to retain a feminine grace, though she doesn't always show it. After her father's death from disease, her mother, aunt and younger brothers were dependent upon the older of their brood for everything. Times had been a bit rough, but they were all pulling through just fine, thank you. After coming to the conclusion that sh was not interested in any of the village boys - who could not even match her prowess with a sword - Cecelia realized that there was nothing left for her in the village. Rather than arguing with her well meaning family, she snuck out in the middle of the night and struck out on a journey to discover herself. She wakes up every morning hoping to be swept off her feet by a dashing . . . perhaps not a knight, but who knew?
Purpose: Like any practical girl, she knows she should marry someday, but refuses to give her whole life up to pursuing that goal. She intends to enjoy as much of the world as she can, enjoying every oppotunity to learn new things.
Other: Cecelia is unusually receptive to the Faerie magic; i.e. she is oblivious to the point of personal halucination.
