Hey, so I saw the Int Check for this RP and thought it looked cool. It seems like there's room since you said you were looking for 2-6. Just curious, how powerful should gifts be? I saw Eris can speak to animals, should they all be that minor? And what exactly can half-fae and changellings do? I only ask so many questions because I care <3

I appreciate the questions! & there's plenty of room :)
Gifts don't have to be as minor as my own character but they also shouldn't be like.. God level either, if that makes sense. Half-fae and changelings generally would have a wider range of abilities & will get different reactions from the fae given that they themselves are fae/part fae. I imagine they would probably have a natural affinity for fae languages & the ability to learn new magic beyond what they are born with (as opposed to humans who must be gifted it). Not so much pertaining to powers, but changelings are more likely to be outcasts and have more of a subconcious awareness of what they are. Like they wouldn't know they are a changeling but they would just know they are different for some reason.

Also wondering what exactly is the difference between a half-faes and changelings? ^_^
Is a changeling a Fae or human who was "gifted" with fae powers, who was swapped at birth, when someone found out the respective baby was different that normal/mundane babies?

Awesome, I think I'd like the role of best friend. Also I'll probably be waiting until you post Eris to post my sheet, I like seeing the GMs character before doing mine

Just so I know I'm on the right track. How much would the blessed differ from the Changelings and Half Fae when it comes to magic and abilities?

Sure thing :) I realize now I should've added in more lore about the fae and their various offspring.
Changelings are fully fae. They would be swapped with the human baby sometime after birth, usually the fae would try and make this as soon as possible as the more delay, the more chance for the humans to notice something's wrong. Half fae, are half human half fae and like changelings would live their lives believing they are gifted humans since Fae do not stick around in their half human children's lives, and use magic to keep their true selves hidden from the human parent. Whereas changelings are looked down upon and treated as black sheep, half fae would be cherished by their families and would be the "favorite" child. Half fae might find themselves more limited by their human genetics, such as being unable to fly, needing a sleep schedule like that of a human's or being more vulnerable in ways that humans are such as being injured by falls, etc. With a fae mentor they could possibly learn the magic that full fae have naturally though that allows for most of those things to not be issues, but they would not start out like this. And their magic would be slower to develop, maybe showing up when they are a couple years old, allowing it to be easier to learn to control. Changelings have all the magic there from the start as babies but none of the guidance on how to use it, which is part of what makes them seem so chaotic to humans. Half fae also look human, whereas many changelings have what humans would regard as unnaturally colored eyes, hair, skin, etc (pink, purple, blue, etc) and may have more elvish looking ears, sharper teeth and nails. Half fae at most might have odd colored eyes or hair. The biggest difference between the two is how they will be regarded by human society and fae society, honestly. Since how they are viewed by the fae is sort of the flip of how humans view them. Half fae are seen as scandalous, and by some, diluting the fae bloodlines where as changelings are an attempt to further fae existence beyond the realm of the fae.

Not all of the lore is set in stone, and exceptions can be made, but this is kind of what I had in mind, hope this clears that up.

@duskshine749 Neither has been claimed, so you're welcome to either role :)
