This is based on the Canadian TV show, Lost Girl, and set pre-Bo, that is before season one. If you’re new to the fae world, please do not be put off as we’ll hardly be following any canon storyline and the world itself will be explained below and in-game as we go along.
What is the Fae?
In LG, the Fae are not so much fairy folks as appropriated mythological creatures from different places, as LG likes to take supernatural species from various kinds of cultures and religions and modify them to fit into the story. Here is a List of Creatures that have appeared or mentioned on screen, which ranged from Kappa, a Japanese yokai with some twists added to it, to the Afreet, Arabic, to the Nordic Frost Giant.
Many of the fae live amongst humans and feed off of humans, but there is a veil of secrecy they need to uphold so that their true identities and their own people are not compromised. The myriad species are generally split into two clans they belong to -
The Dark Fae: have no scruples in treating humans as exactly as they are - meat, playthings, slaves, inferior objects to be used for their own pleasure. They enjoy who they are and flirt with the line of exposure to humans, but they do obey the Dark Fae laws set upon themselves, if just barely; punishment by the Dark higher-ups are cruel and extreme.
The Light Fae: are superficially different from the Dark. While the Dark revel in their powers and superiority over the humans outright and in good cheer, the Light prefer to politely cut up their meat, so to speak, and wipe their mouths with a piece of silk cloth. The meat are still human, though. The Light may say they don’t kill human for sport, unlike the Dark, but the very same act will be justified by sophistic arguments.
Players will only be able to choose to be of either the Dark or Light, and if you’re familiar with the canon, then you may opt to play as either Dyson or Hale if you wish.
The Light and Dark do not get along, to put it lightly, and each have their own cut and drawn territories of the land that the other does not cross into, unless they want to start a war. When a fae comes of age, they technically have a choice to be in either the Dark or Light, but their familial lineage generally dictates which side they’re on.
Humans do not have a good place in the Fae world except there to be used. In fact, human and fae romantic relationships are strictly forbidden and punishable by death. Many kinds of fae feed off of humans in some ways, for example succubi feed off of their chi (life force), the aswang eat dead diseased body parts, the leanan sidhe sucks out creative talents from artists; although many kinds of fae have no need to consume humans in any way, such as the wolf-shifter, the siren, or the selkie.
