@Unraveller For a Fae to be outside of a Court is not unheard of, but the Fae will be fair game and not have that protection. They will be pressured to join a Court. It's not unheard of, but those that do are hermits and very good at hiding themselves from Fae that would bother them.

@Blackmist16 Due to them being much like the elves, I'm going to allow it. But they are essentially the same as a Elf, just something slightly different in their own way.

@Dead Cruiser Lol, nice.

@Emma
Humans living in there own world, and the the Fae world is separate, and old fashion medieval style, stuck in the ancient ways

That sums it up well. Essentially they keep the Old Ways when they were revered and remembered. Partially out of hubris, partially out of how they like it. Some like Gremlins are more advance but most Fae look down on the human's 'inefficient' technology. There's no reason for THEM to change how they do things just because the humans are playing at running the world.

Alright, while that does sound like it could fit, would that be conducive to good roleplay in this RP? Or would it severely limit me in a way that I should simply try for the lord of the Summer court instead?

@Unraveller It would limit you yes. But not so badly if you had trade or something between Courts. It's rare but not unheard of.

Alrighty, had fun writing this. Sure hope it fits well enough in. Though I may be completely oblivious as to how anything actually works around here. Or how a you want your characters, in any case let me know how much I screwed up!

Alright, I think I (finally) can make a character. I'm thinking of making a human kid (13-16) who stumbles into the world of the fae, too cliche, or good?

@Unraveller May want to fix up his role, a great hermitage would be stamped out by Courts. Things are hard enough without a group to cause problems for all the Courts.

@Natsu Not at all! That's work well.

@Unraveller More like another pillar for Falk's (Tegvan's) halls, but one made of stone. Rebel groups- even peaceful ones are like a giant herd of deer surrounded by a giant swarm of dragons. They aren't leaving alive. Fea take the laws of their land seriously and if you aren't swearing allegiance and forming a group thus like. Yeah, that is very dangerous to all Courts and all Fey. You're saying your not going to follow Fae laws or you're provoking that fear.

Gee, I hadn't realized how dire a situation it is. I assume anything more than a single Fae living on the land would cause great alarm. At which point I must ask, should I even bother being outside of a court's jurisdiction? As it seems like his story would be of very little consequence, in fact, likely not impacting anything in any meaningful way if that were the case. Or perhaps I simply am unaware of how this RP will play out.

@Unraveller Not at all. Hermits generally keep to themselves- true. But even then they may gain sanction with a Court or Courts in return for services. Be it news, goods, or some such. Allow them to go about that Realm without ties to the Court so long as they bring the required Tithe for wandering the land.

Alrighty, sounds good to me, and I do look forward to it. Suppose I'll modify his background a bit. Wouldn't want to be vivaciously murdered because too many hermits gathered in one spot now would we?

Well, at least he'd have a lot of time to think without much distraction! Anywho, some changes were made, however minor though I hope they fix the issue, anything else that is in desperate need of reformation?

@Unraveller Absolutely Lovely. And a tip? If he brings news and information- accurate, mind you- Falk (Fall King) will allow him to pass with ease.

@LadyRunic When (what age?) and how do Fae go about choosing what court they are in. Or are they just born into it?

In the fae worlds are there towns, cities...? Are the courts reminiscent of like royal European court, a kings court taking place in a palace?

Or is a court more of a binding term, like democratic vs republican, or Christian vs Jewish? idk know how to explain what I mean....

Are there jobs, or professions other then court titles, or knights?

I'm assuming cultures/traditions very from fae species to fae species?

The whole having a power over knowing someones 'true' name? I'm assuming the name on the CS is not there 'true' name but their birth name? And that their true name is something only they know. Like in Eragon? or in the Caster Chronicles series?

Does the fae realm resemble the human world (in terms of the map, and geography of earth.). Does it mirror earth? Minus the humans, tech, and so on?

Are their and religions? And does what fae you are define the kind of culture they follow(ed)? Like a Dijinn that is from Arabian/Islamic mythologies would dress in that kind of style. Or a Banshee from celtic myth, would be... idk?

They are born into it generally. They may change their loyalties if their current Court becomes too dangerous. Much like seeking Asylum, however they must have broken with the Court legally. They swear loyalty in exchange for the protection and partnership almost with the Court. If this is broken they may flee to another court. If illegally they will most likely be enthralled with their Name.

Or is a court more of a binding term,


No it's a real Court. Throne, royal decrees and all.

Are there jobs, or professions other then court titles, or knights?


Yes, there are traders, smiths, weaves, farmers. There are other jobs that mesh with the species of the fae. Such as brownies that will clean a house, or some Fae that will mess with hair.

In the fae worlds are there towns, cities...? Are the courts reminiscent of like royal European court, a kings court taking place in a palace?


There are towns, though cities like we would think them are uncommon due to Fae living in tandem with nature. Some Fae have palaces and some don't. Falk has a complex hall, a palace in it's own right kind of.

I'm assuming cultures/traditions very from fae species to fae species?


Yup. Selkies differ in their ways from Ents, Gremlins differ from Elves. And The giant golemn that's wandering about is different in it's ways than the Tinkerbell Faries.

The whole having a power over knowing someones 'true' name? I'm assuming the name on the CS is not there 'true' name but their birth name? And that their true name is something only they know. Like in Eragon? or in the Caster Chronicles series?


No, the name you give me is the 'True Name'. Think Dresden Files. Your name consists of the letters/word and the cadence to how you speak it. Thus why it can only come from the mouth of the person it belongs to.

Does the fae realm resemble the human world (in terms of the map, and geography of earth.). Does it mirror earth? Minus the humans, tech, and so on?


It's sort of a whimsical version of that. The Fae have rearranged it to their liking over the Years.

Are their and religions? And does what fae you are define the kind of culture they follow(ed)? Like a Dijinn that is from Arabian/Islamic mythologies would dress in that kind of style. Or a Banshee from celtic myth, would be... idk?


There isn't a religon, generally. They are FAE! They are gods in their own right! (They are vain little narcissistic things.) Though culture is more about how a group thinks and what they do and how they act. Ents think themselves above the rest, The Gremlins are iron workers who follow humans more closely. Hobo-goblins that clean houses are more subservient and family oriented. It just depends on the Fae type. Very similar yet different.

Name:Max Oscar Napras

Race: Human

Position: He's hiding out right now, but will most likely run into some fae soon.

Age:13

Personality: Though you wouldn't expect it of somebody who got so lost in the woods that they wound up in another dimension, Max is extremely intelligent, but not in your typical book smart way. Max is adaptable to most situations, and can talk himself out of pretty much anything. He previously used this skill to narrowly avoid punishment for the antics he would engage in, it will now prove useful in hopefully avoiding death or worse from Fae that he'll run into. Besides that, Max is a very social person, and will more than likely find the greatest difficulty in not having any other people to talk to while stuck in this realm. In the two weeks he's been here, this has already eroded part of his mental stability. He's still functioning well, but he's definitely on edge. The biggest thing he cares about in the end however, is himself. In a life or death situation, he will take any and all necessary actions to ensure his own safety and life.

Appearance: Max is short, even for his age, standing at around 5'1, and has a light tan, but is still clearly Caucasian.He also has long black hair that sweeps behind his head and down his neck. Sadly for Max, he's stuck in the clothes that he was wearing when he showed up the the Fae world. These clothes are now a stained green T-shirt, that's starting to get holes in the back of it, which are growing larger by the day. His pants are a pair of blue jeans, which are now muddy, and torn on the bottoms of the pant legs.

Background: Max was born into a normal middle class family, with a mostly unremarkable early childhood. The biggest thing that always made him standout however, was his tendency to get himself in... unpleasant situations for his parents. The time in preschool where he maybe convinced the other kids to start digging a grave for their preschool teacher at recess, The time where he almost certainly didn't get their pet Shih Tzu stuck in a tree, and nobody could forget about the time he had a few of his friends have a surprise game of hide and seek in the woods... Yeah, nobody could forget that, since he never came back out. It was that night, he ended up leaving the humans to join the Fae, and ever since then, he's been fending for himself in the forest, trying just to survive, and find a way back home. It's been two weeks of that though, and he's going to need to get to some form of civilization soon, or he's going to lose it, either mentally, or from pure exposure to the elements.
