Since the dawn of time, faeries have walked hidden in the mortal world...
Six main clans of faeries exist: Fire Fae, Water Fae, Sky Fae, Earth Fae, Static Fae, and Spirit Fae. Each clan controls on main element. They had no kings or queens, but were guided by a circle of elders. Personalities, abilities, and habits of the fae vary depending on the clan. To normal humans, the fae are invisible unless they choose to don a glamour and pretend to be one of us. They poke and prod and play, but are never seen or heard unless they will it...
Until now. Legends speak of Sighted humans, those who can see the faeries for who they truly are. They were few and far between, and those who were discovered to have the Sight were blinded or killed. Eventually, the Sight became an urban myth among the fae. But gradually, more and more Sighted mortals are born. Most are discriminated against as delusional and end up going completely insane, often to the point of death. Very few know what is happening and are able to keep things under wraps, but the Sight is always viewed as a curse. The disease is spreading through the modern world, infecting humans in the form of autism, schizophrenia, ADHD, and plain old insanity. Eventually, the Sight was classified by top-secret facilities as FPD, Fantasy Psychoticism Disorder. The public was never informed of the research undergone by the FBI, and went on about their lives in ignorance.
The faeries began to disagree about killing those with the Sight. Some argued that humans could never know of the existence of fae, and the problem could only be solved by killing all the infected mortals. Others claimed that mass killings were wrong, and only those who openly preached about faeries had to be blinded or threatened, and not killed. The faeries split into three groups: the Nightwalkers, who killed humans; the Daylighters, who protected humans; and the Crestfallers, who were neutral and refused to be involved with mortals. Clan elders were removed from power, and instead each group was ruled by a single monarch, sometimes two. Great faerie countries were divided, members of the elemental clans could no longer trust one another unless they had the same beliefs. Chaos insued.
As more slayings and gougings went on, the Sighted mortals became rebellious. They joined together as one large international group known as the Faerie Hunters. Unsighted members were given mixtures to allow them to recognize faeries, and members who already had the Sight were trained to utilize faerie weaknesses. Great battles between the races were waged, and a virtual war was declared. It is an ongoing war that most humans are unaware of, yet is a very significant factor in our everyday lives.
Life as we know it today is a constant battle for righteousness. Friendships are tested. Religious beliefs are conflicted. Lines are crossed. Death is nothing out of the ordinary. Whose side are you on? The fate of the world is in the hands of the people...

The faerie clans...Fire Fae ~ These faeries control the fire element. They are hotheaded with volatile emotions, and can go from sullen to angry in the blink of an eye. Their powers include controlling sunlight, making fireballs, crafting swords from flames, etc.
Water Fae ~ These fae can conduct water and ice. They are usually creative and thoughtful, but they can also be cold and calculating like winter frost. Their abilities include conducting rain or snow, breathing underwater, manipulating water, etc.
Sky Fae ~ Air is the element of these faeries. They like to flit about and fuss over little details, and are the fastest of all the fae. Among their abilities are superspeed, creating windstorms and tornados, making pockets of air, etc.
Earth Fae ~ Nature is ruled by these fae. They have natural beauty and can manipulate the environment. Their skin is usually dark. Their powers include making earthquakes, making plants grow and bend to their will, healing, etc.
Spirit Fae ~ These fae can manipulate psychic energy. They are usually somewhat secluded and shy, and have a tendancy to compell others. Their powers include teleporting, levitating objects, mind-reading, etc.
Static Fae ~ Electricity is the realm of these faeries. Their emotions are volatile, much like Fire Fae, and they have a charismatic aura about them. These fae stand out, and are usually confident. Among their powers are conducting thunderstorms, making their skin shocking to the touch, using thunderbolts like Zeus, etc.The faerie groups...Nightwalkers ~ The Nightwalkers believe that the human race is a nuisance, and have no objections to killing those with the Sight. Vampire fae, were-fae, etc. in this group are usually the ones who take unwilling victims and kill them regardless. The Nightwalkers can be slain more traditionally, such as with holy objects and salt, but that doesn't make them any weaker. This is the most powerful group in general.
Daylighters ~ The Daylighters are the good guys. They aren't quite as strong as the Nightwalkers, but are still a formidable enemy. They protect humans and tend not to do the vulgar things done in other groups. Vampires, werewolves, etc. in this group don't usually kill their victims, and take life energy such as blood humanely, unlike the feral Nightwalkers. Daylighters' weaknesses are harder to find, and it may take several tries to figure out something that works. However, Daylighters are often mistakenly killed by Faerie Hunters who can't recognize group differences.
Crestfallers ~ The Crestfallers are neutral. They don't view Sighted mortals as a threat unless they are directly addressed. The Crestfallers take pride in their freedom, and are usually carefree and on-the-go. Their beliefs and feeding techniques can vary widely, and these faeries usually live either on their own or with a mate.

The Faerie Hunters...
The Faerie Hunters will stop at nothing to serve justice. Their organization reaches across the entire globe, they have headquarters in all major cities, faraway members get together on the website. Unsighted members are given mixtures to allow them to recognize faeries, and members who already have the Sight are trained to utilize faerie weaknesses. Some Faerie Hunters are so vicious that they attack fae from every group, even the Daylighters. There are so many categories of members, from vampire hunters and assassins to wolf trackers and internet hackers. Even without faerie magic and immortality, they are well-equipped and are responsible for many fae deaths and massacres.

Faerie weaknesses and deterents...
Iron and steel can be fatal to all faeries. Only the strongest can stand to be near it, and it is near-impossible to hold a glamour by it. Wear it as a necklace or bracelet for a small protection on the go.
Weaknesses for vampires, werewolves, etc. is the same as for the real things from other books and movies. Wooden stakes, silver bullets, etcetera.
Most fae are bothered by religious artifacts and sacred symbols, such as crosses and holy water. Spreading churchyard dirt in front of them.
Bread and salt are good protections, depending on how they are used. Throwing them, spreading them on the ground... It varies depending on the faerie.
Turning your clothes inside-out hides you from faeries. It makes you look like someone else.
Plants and herbs that work as counter-charms help you see through a glamour. These plants include Saint-John's-wort, four-leafed clover, red verbena, etc.
Wearing daisies keeps children safe from faerie kidnappings.
Carry a staff of rowan wood as defense.
If you are being chased by a faeries, leap over running water, especially if its running south.

Behind the Curtain: Super Aelita 
Name: Dante Ezio Cronis
Age: 19
Species: Thinks he's human. Actually Nightwalker.
Category: Faerie Hunter
Bio: He was from a family of Faerie Hunters and it seems that the abilty passed on through his bloodline. He was told unpleasant stories about how the Faeries were so intent on killing people like him and he grew a strong sense of dislike, though not hate, for the Faeries. As he got older, he learned how to distiguish Nightwalkers and Daylighters and how the Faeries from each group had different opinions about Faerie Hunters. What he didn't know what that his mother was a Nightwalker, who later became a Crestfaller, which he will learn later.
He's a bit secluded, but will protect those who he knows needs protecting. He's usually cold and indifferent, but he's the opposite to the ones he cares about and are close enough to him.
Other Things: He's half Italian, half Greek. He doesn't like injustice and unreasonable actions.

Age: 963 years old but looks 17
Species: Faerie, part Nereid
Category: Spirit Fae, Crestfaller
Bio: She was actually a Nightwalker once, but she soon developed a sense of justice and left them to become a Crestfaller. She still feels uneasy around Daylighters. She usually keeps out of sight and is a vegetarian at heart. She doesn't like hurting others, but has no mercy for those who do wrong things and don't listen to anyone or anything else.
Other Things: She's one of the more stronger faeries that can stand to be iron and steel, but not for more than 2-3 minutes.
Behind the Curtain: Hunter Crawl 
Name: Christina Spellsa/Christy
Age: 659/ looks 21
Species: Fairie
Category: Daylighter; Spirit Fae
Bio: Christy is an outgoing, fun-loving person. She lived with her mother untill she was killed by a fairy hunter. Now, Christy questions her beliefs of humans. She has also sworn to kill the Fairy Hunter who killed her mother at all costs. She believes his name was Seth...
Other Things: Although Christy can be very serious at times, she always finds time to spend time on her favorite hobby, poking things with a stick.
Behind the Curtain:clm640 
Name: Seth Dragomir
Age: 19
Species: human
Category: Faerie Hunter, assassin
Bio: Seth is one of the best up-and-coming Hunters in the organization. He has killed many faeries, and is quickly becoming well-known and respected. His hatred for the fae runs deep. His mother was sucked dry by a vampire faerie in front of his own eyes when he was only five. He would have died as well if a Faerie Hunter hadn't shown up just in time. Seth mainly hunts Nightwalkers and sometimes Crestfallers, but does his best not to attack the Daylighters. However, he has no compassion for vampires of any kind, and usually slays them on the spot. Seth is also the one who killed Selphy's little sister Roza, and is currently tracking Selphy down. He is feared throughout the faerie world.
Other Things: Seth is sometimes called Drago by his closest friends, but doesn't tolerate anyone else using the nickname. Also, he has unexplainable feelings toward Selphy, and is torn between killing her and letting her off.
Behind the Curtain: Super Aelita 
Name: Chamealia Lykae / Cammie
Age: 1050, looks to be 17-18
Species: Faerie
Category: Daylighter; Static Fae
Bio: Chamelia has always been the fiery one. Her temper can range from calm and cool to furious. She has never thought of killing humans, believing that they were the perfect playtoy. So why get rid of them? Cammie lives on her own motto, "Forget about the past, and play today, you never know what's gonna happen to tomorrow." She does not like it when people don't listen. She has always wandered, but never strays too far away from her friends.
Other Things: Cammie loves to send random shocks through her friends. It's her way of saying "I love ya!"
Behind the Curtain: Sapphirianna

Rules and guidelines...
~ NO GODMODDING.
~ Cussing is allowed, just honestly don't overdo it.
~ Romance is permitted, as long as it is at a PG-13 level. Nothing below the waist, please. If you absolutely have to put in a raunchy scene, keep it no more detailed than "they made love". No one wants to read anything more than that. gonk
~ You can have more than one character, but don't lose track of them or have any more than three at the most. It gets confusing.
~ Use good grammar and speak in third-person. Try not to write one-liners, nor should you write a novel. The recommended size is just a few paragraphs. It's fine if you have writer's block once in a while, just not every post.
~ Keep OOC (out of character) conversations to a minimum, and put them in double parentheses. ((Like this.))
~ Respect others, and no insults. Critisize ideas, not people.
~ Trolling, scamming, spamming, phishing, etc. is prohibited.
~ Follow all the guild rules.
~ When in doubt, PM me.
~ Remember to have fun!

It was late into the night. The pale light of the moon reflected off the water of the small pond in Spring Park. Although it could hardly be called a park. It was just a small plot of land in the middle of the city where there was grass and a few big trees. And, of course, the pond. No matter how small, though, it was a nice break from the neighborhood of iron and steel. Selphy sat on a limb, dangling her feet and feeling the tickle of leaves. She pointed a finger at the fresh-water pond and commanded a string of the liquid to float up into her mouth. She swished the cold, refreshing drink around in her mouth a bit before swallowing. She closed her eyes for a moment and felt a light breeze sweep through her hair; but only for a heartbeat. The peace could never last.
Selphy couldn't afford to be off-guard. Across the street was one of the many Faerie Hunters HQ buildings, and she planned to infilitrate it. Roza... My little sister... Selphy touched a leaf with her finger, turning it to ice. She held it in her hand, admiring the bittersweet beauty of a winter frost, before suddenly closing her fist and crushing the frozen leaf into a thousand pieces. I will avenge your death. A few days earlier, Selphy's innocent little sister had been staked through the heart by a Hunter for taking blood. Vampire fae couldn't help what they were, they had to survive. And the victim wasn't harmed. Yet Roza, beautiful little Roza, had been murdured. She was a Crestfaller, no less! Evil had been far from her mind.
Selphy fitted a special ice arrow on her bow and aimed it at the guard posted outside the building. When shot correctly, a single blow could be lethal. If the arrowhead pierced the skin past a certain point, the enchanted ice would enter the bloodstream and travel through the body like shards of glass until it stopped the heart. One shot, she told herself. Just one shot, and I'm free to enter the building...

Seth crouched behind a bush, clutching his stake of rowan-wood. After weeks on the trail, he had finally found who he had been hunting. Selphy was so focused on breaking into HQ that she wouldn't be able to react quick enough to stop his attack. He narrowed his eyes, calculating the distance he would have to leap. Then, quiet and quick as the wind, he pounced. Selphy would be no match for him this time.

~~Christina Spellsa~~
ChristyChristy walked along the forest path, not caring where she was going. She was alone. She felt as though a hole had been drilled through her heart and someone had poured acid onto it. She missed her mother. She had been with her for her entire life, but she was taken. Her beautiful, kind, and loving mother, was gone... All because she was mistaken for someone different. Christy sat on the edge of the path, sitting on a pile of dead, brown leaves and skinny, sharp twigs. She felt tears flow out of the side of her eyes, cold as ice. Her beautiful purple eyes were tinged with redness. Her wings drooped low in sadness. You could see small red cuts on her arms and her legs from the fights she had been in with. "She was a Damn Daylighter!" Christy yelled, tears now flowing like a waterfall down her cheeks. Christy's head fell into her lap. She remembered snipits from that night not too long ago. It flashed through her mind like lightning. The scene was tinted red with fear and blazing fires. "Get them all!" a Faerie Hunter yelled to another. "I'm not sure..." a man yelled back, "I think they're Daylighter's." "I don't care! Just GET THEM!" the first man yelled back. "On the count of three, teleport to our special tree." Christy's mother whispered quietely. Christy visuallized the giant oak in the middle of the clearing. She nodded and looked back at her mother. "One...Two...Thr..." Was all she got out. Christy teleported to there tree and waited for her mother. She waited an hour then teleported back. When she returned she saw pile after pile of black smoldering ashes. She ran to where her mother and herself were held up by the Faerie Hunters. There she saw her mother, lifeless and cold. Christy couldn't bear to see it. She teleported back to her tree and sobbed untill she passed out. The only thing that kept her alive was the iron arrow left in her mother's body. Seth... was inscribed on the side.Christy stopped sobbing and listenned to a mind, not to far off. She was planning on taking down a Faerie Hunter headquarters. She ran to her before the first arrow was thrown. She came in loudly, making sure not to startle the other Faerie. "I want in." is all Christy said.

Dante grabbed one of the iron bars and launched himself over the gate. He landed with a dull thud on the earthy ground, his untied hair falling in creamy white casades over his shoulders. He tugged up his scarf over his lower face and slipped off into the woods. If those people thought that their security could keep a person like him in, they were absolutely vlakas. He comprehended what he just thought in his head. 'Oh great, now I'm thinking in Greek...' He rolled his eyes and continued through the bumpy track.
Alex looked through the branches of the trees with wide, pink eyes, as she watched the water fae aim an attack at the guard of the HQ. Her quick eyes spotted the other Hunter, the one with whitish hair, leap over the fence on the other side of the facility and disappear into the forest. Where had she seen him before...? She shook it from her mind as a Hunter pounced on the water fae and she decided to take action. She darted from the branches and took out her red titanium blade to clash with his own rowan wood staff. She turned to look at the water fae with an expression that clearly said: 'Well what are you waiting for?!'

Selphy turned, irritated, at the faerie that had ruined her concentration. She appeared to be a young Spirit Fae. "I want in," was what she had said. Selphy eyed the faerie suspiciously, but shrugged after a quick analysis. "Sure," Selphy answered. "When I shoot down the guard, follow me into the HQ and watch my back." She turned back to her bow and readjusted her aim, training the arrow on the guard's chest...
A violent rustle of leaves and snapping branches cut her off. She whirled around with inhuman speed and saw a Faerie Hunter barrelling toward her, stake sharpened and ready. Her eyes widened in horror. She could never evade the blow with a bow and arrow in hand! "Son of a bitc--" she started to say, but stopped abruptly when another faerie came out of nowhere and started to duel with the Hunter using a red titanium blade. Selphy stared at the Hunter, and suddenly had a revelation. This is the Faerie Hunter that murdered Roza...!
The faerie that was fighting Seth gave Selphy a quick look that urged her to hurry and shoot the guard. But Selphy sat frozen on the branch, shock coursing through her body. Seth killed Roza. Seth is here. I can kill Seth. Selphy forgot about her plans to infilitrate the HQ and snapped into action. She sat down her bow and unsheathed her ice katana, a deadly weapon for close-range combat. A feral growl ripped from Selphy's throat as she sprang at Seth. I will kill Seth. I will kill Seth! I WILL AVENGE ROZA!

The air was knocked from his lungs as Seth was attacked by another faerie. He quickly regained his composure and circled the faerie as they exchanged feigns and blows. A snarl alerted him to someone approaching from above, and he jumped back just in time to avoid Selphy. Seizing the heartbeat of opportunity, he sheathed his stake and pulled out a large steel sword. It was permanently stained red from the blood of faeries he had slain. Seth held the sword in front of himself and lunged forward to stab Selphy.

Selphy spotted Seth's charge out of the corner of her eye and was able to swiftly dodge out of the way. Though she hadn't been touched by the sword, being near the steel made her feel unstable. Even so, her bloodlust was fueled by the adrenaline pumping through her veins. Ice crystals materialized around Selphy, and she shot them at Seth. Then, in formation along with the icy daggers, she again lunged for Seth's head with her katana.
