Silver Carrot

The X-Pendibles

Heidi looked around at the rest of the students that had been asked to gather here. The rest of her Danger Room class was here, of course. Shan, the electromancer. Nate, the light-bender. Tatiana, the Damphir. There were also several interesting picks from elsewhere. Ayita, the shape-shifter. Jake, the silk-slinger, Rose Mary, the adapter, and the new boy from earlier. A fairly volatile combination. What were they planning to do with this group?

Chrys was the last member. Heidi had to double check her memory to make sue she heard that right. This was beyond volatile now. This group was straight-up not ready for the field, and that included Heidi herself, being the youngest person in the room.

Shawn had been sent to retrieve Chrys, with the instructions 'Don't kill him'. That was not very reassuring. Heidi quickly caught Emma Frost's gaze, and put her intention to follow Shawn at the forefront of her mind. Waiting a second and receiving no instruction to stop, she left the room and followed Shawn.

"I'm coming with you. You might need the help." she spoke at him once she caught up, in that authoritative, confident voice that she had also used during the exercise. It was a really jarring contrast to how shy and uncomfortable she was when she was trying to have a normal conversation.

The X-Pendibles

Should I have Heidi go with?

Also, I had an idea for on the way there, they come up with their X-men names

I'm contemplating making the elf girl from Amber's backstory a fully fledged character but the two don't meet until much later in the rp

"Please, tell me more about your views on the forest!"

*Starts playing really loud, screechy notes on the pan pipes every time he tries to speak.

"What? I'm not stopping you. Carry on!"

History

The Past

Fae tend not to gather in towns or cities. At best, you get a very small village, but more commonly, one family will live by themselves in a secluded home in the woods, often to next to a stream or small lake. Fae grew up with one such family, and as is also customary for her species, moved out to find her own home and a mate when she was ten years old.

The ever-growing humani population, however, coupled with many neutral parties wishing to move away from the cities and form new, smaller settlements, made finding a mate or a quiet place to live difficult, however, and Amber took to doing typical Fae mischief like souring their milk, making their pets and livestock go wild again, steal tools, that kind of thing.

As she got older, she noticed that her magic was very weak for a Fae's, and if she ever tried really hard to force it to work, it would explode out of her and cause her harm. While she pondered this dilemma one day, she came across an elf child playing a set of pan pipes. Amber sat and listened to her for hours, and the elf would smile and play just for her. The two kept this relationship up for weeks. No words spoken, so greetings, just music. One day, the naturally curious Amber asked if she could play the pan pipes for a while. The elf girl happily agreed, and when Amber started to play, the plants around her started to grow.

Their relationship lasted for several years, and in that time the elf girl taught Amber how to play these pan pipes expertly, and even gave her them as a gift. But, one day, the elf girl disappeared, and in her place was an elf woman, who wanted to travel the world and see where adventure would take her, so she disappeared from Amber's life, leaving her alone once again.

The Present

Amber is now in her own adulthood and her search for a mate, or even others of her species, has proved fruitless thus far, though she still gains pleasure from the occasional prank. She is more mature now, however, and understands more that her actions sometimes cause harm, so her pranks have gotten less...mean than they used to be.

Amber has become reliant on the pan pipes as the vessel in which she can focus her magic, though it's not clear whether his has amplified or limited her magic power. What she does know is that she can no longer use magic without the focus of a melody, even though the extent of her magical power over plant growth and animal behavior is fairly weak compared to what many other Faes or Elves would be capable of. She is simply too scared to try magic without the pipes anymore.

History

The Past

Vania always had dreams of adventure. She would listen to her father tell stories of brave warriors who travelled the land, fighting off beasts and evil men. From as young as she could remember, her heart was set on following in the footsteps of these heroes. Her family, however, was strict when it came to traditional lifestyle. Vania was taught how to hunt, how to cook, how to create potions and remedies using naught but the ingredients of the forest, and when she came of age, would be married off to an elf from another family.

Her one solace was that she’d often take daily walks through the forest, where she’d sit at the edge of a small lake three miles out from the village, and play pan pipes. It was during these trips that she met a Fae, and the two became close though they rarely ever talk to each other, being that Vania couldn’t speak in the tongues of man, and the Fae couldn’t speak Elvish. Still, they’d take turns on the pipes, and laugh, and point out the visible wildlife to each other.

But every time this happened, she’d eventually go back home, back to being groomed into a bride. Her solace at home was that every night, she’d read more tales about adventure, and freedom. She finally decided that the day before she was to come of age, she would run away. Away from her family. Away from the Elf her marriage had been arranged with, who she had never even met. The day came, and she wavered in her convictions, but still, she couldn’t stay here a day longer otherwise she’d miss her chance to leave forever, and she’d live an unhappy life regretting it.

She ran. She ran so far that they’d never catch up with her. She didn’t know how far or how long she ran, just that when she stopped, she threw up and then passed out from exhaustion. She woke up feeling nothing but regret. She had been a child. She should return and apologize, but she realised that she was lost. She had made a terrible mistake.

In her search for home she unwittingly travelled further and further away from it, if it hadn’t have been for her training at the hands of her parents, she’d have died. She slowly learned more and more how to survive in the endless forest, and eventually forgot about returning home. This was her life now.

As she got closer to humani civilisation, she started discovering lone human travellers. Once upon a time, she might have engaged them in conversation, but the laws of nature had long since overridden any semblance of civility in her, and she robbed everyone she met, besides Nephilm authorities, whom she quickly learned that she had to flee from to avoid capture.

Once, she actually was captured, but during her year in captivity she learned many things, such as how to speak humani, the factions of Nephim and Revenant and the Gods they worship, and though she was still not a civilised Elf, she was now too educated to be a savage.

The Present

Vania did her time, and is now free again. She has returned to the forest as that is the only life she knows, and the honest work of the towns and cities just seems like yet another prison for her. She enjoys being free. Sometimes she will buy nice things from the towns and cities from money she has stolen. She is on the razor’s edge between an intelligent, cosmopolitan being and a beast of nature.

She still has no home, sleeping in caves, up tress, or in streets of towns when nobody tries to move her along. She bathes in rivers and lakes instead of hot baths, and eating food she hasn’t killed herself is a rare luxury for her. Still, there a tiny part of her brain which is unsatisfied with simply living. It yearns for a real quest of purpose. A real adventure.

Huh. What should the past of a Fae be?

Torn Realms (High-Fantasy) (Mid-High Casual) [ALWAYS OPEN]

I've decided to scra my human after realising I wasn't that interested. Will be fleshing out my Fae though.
