[OOC] Fae Courtis: The Wylde Hunt (Reboot)

[LadyRunic]

@Ojo chan 42I'mmmm sooooo sorry!!!! *hug hug* q-q And no it's fine, It's my fault. I should have caught it.

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. *brings you fans and cold drinks*

Oh, and I never said sprites don't exist in Winter, but I'm pretty sure there are fewer of them. ^.^;; Pesky buggers must annoy the current Queen enough that she killed those that bothered her and the others most likely started going to Fall and Spring. Not all, but enough to make a difference.

As for half-fae...this is confusing still. Changed humans are seasonborn, and they're full fey. Their genes are dominant over those of humans, or were, so while they're weaker they wouldn't be able to breed with a human either. If the mother was a seasonborn, how was she in the mortal realm to start with? Or was she turned but then the kelpie lost interest or something and chucked her in the mortal realm to die? And how can the powers of a full fey be dormant? It makes sense for a fey that becomes a changeling, possibly, but not otherwise.

As for Maxwell, we now need to sort out how changelings work. Are they still considered fey, and thus unable to have children with humans? Or are they considered humans and so their descendants have latent powers that can be awoken by some ritual or artifact or something? My preference is for the latter, and I feel the latent fey blood might still have a very subtle effect for story reasons (such as the family's affinity for medicine and the aversion to direct promises).

I'm really not sure how half-fey contradicts seasonborn, actually, though it might be secret lore regarding seasonborn -- or regarding somethign else entirely. Hope we can get it sorted out!

@shylarah The exists thing was a note for myself. And reread the whole Seasonborn thing. Adopted, or one Fae parent were the requirements.

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic

Hider

Oh right, one fey parent, just like a halfling. So someone important (probably Falk) has a human parent, hm~? ...Except wait, that doesn't work because you can't /have/ one fey parent and one human parent. So seasonborn are exclusively adopted humans turned into weak fey.

Really, half-fey would still work. Since seasonborn now have to be adopted humans, half-fey would be the ones with one parent fey and one parent human. Still, it's not a big deal if they can't exist. Just gotta fix Max and changelings up. ^.^;

EDIT: ERPS. Nvm me, if half-fey were a thing then the fey genes wouldn't be dominant; half-fey would actually be full-fey with the traits of the fey parent, just perhaps weaker. Still could let the interbreeding happen, but it wouldn't be a separate designation. ^.^;;

EDIT AGAIN: this post is a mess, forgot about two seasonborn parents. >.< Just...don't pay too much attention here.

THE IMPORTANT PART: Shy is an idiot, but gotta fix Max and changelings up. ^.^;

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah Seasonborn still work. It's deep Lore, Shy. I mean deeper than where Balrogs are.

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic of course seasonborn work, but they have to have two seasonborn parents, or be humans turned fey. Right?

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah Actually no. They may be turned Seasonborn, born by two seasonborn parents, or have one Fae parent, one human parent.

(Season)-born (Classical humanoid fae) - Children born to at least one fae parent or adopted by the fae. They take after the season that took them in.

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic Oh. OH. When you said half-fey didn't work I thought you meant that they couldn't be born at all. Sorry! Right, so seasonborn are changed humans OR they are the children of one fey and one human (half-fey) OR they are the children of two seasonborn. So all half-fey are seasonborn, but not all seasonborn are half-fey. In terms of whether they're fey or human, though, all seasonborn count as fey.

Do I understand properly now?

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah Eeyup!

[shylarah]

@LadyRunic YAY~!

Sooo...changeling are fey. But they're weird fey with their magic suppressed or something, so while anyone descended from a changeling would technically be seasonborn, it's not active and requires something special to be brought out. That something special is why it wouldn't work for Ojo's char.

On the upside, @Ojo chan 42, this means that if you think your char could use her magic without instruction, she'd already have it. So your first post might have worked.

On second thought, that's kinda bad news, isn't it? =P

[LadyRunic]

@shylarah Changling descendents aren't seasonborn. They would require activation, because while they share similar blood ties to Seasonborn they remain a unique class of their own.

"Essentially Seasonborn are a fae image on a human. Changlings are a fae that IS human. Think if it as a mask. What is underneath? For the Seasonborn it's their Fae appearance, for the Changling it's thier human appearance."

[BlackPanther]

I will let @Belle go first as I do not think it would be wise for Feoras to comment just yet

[Belle]

I hope the thing about the Blood Pearls was okay. I wanted to have Winter have something special to offer in trade to the others. I should have asked first but I didn't think of it til after I posted. I can remove it if it doesn't work. I'm sorry.

@LadyRunic

[LadyRunic]

@Belle Oh I like~. And worry not, so long as it's reasonable I don't really mind and encourage it!

"Hm... If I take her I have blood-" Back into the Rp with you! Bad Falk!

[Belle]

@LadyRunic oh okay good! I was freaking out there for a moment worried I have overstepped.
*winks at Falk* I have a thing for bad boys...

[LadyRunic]

@Belle Don't encourage him....

"You have no idea how bad I really am, my dear."

Yes, but I do. Dear Lord... Lol

[BlackPanther]

Yay rare things from broken hearts
Figured I could make it his theme

If unicorn tears are too much...especially made to stone
Let me know I can tweak or delete

[LadyRunic]

No. it's plausible. It's rational, it's fine

@BlackPanther

[LadyRunic]

@BlackPanther@Belle Sorry guys, I'm rushing out the door. I shall have to hold off my post till I get home. I had quite the bit to respond to this morning.

[BlackPanther]

No problem @LadyRunic
Chilling at the airport.
