Garlanger

[Skylla]

Garlanger

Universal Traits: These are the most tainted of fae. They are the children of Nimbus and other things. The faerie blood is like water in their veins, thin and weak. These are proof that the Sidhe blood is not invincible and can be tainted to the extent of horrific deformities. Fantastic skin colors are not possible any more lest it be the patterns of some animal given by lycanthrope blood. Strength, stamina, and even endurance all suffer the effects of the weakening of the blood. Except for humans, garlangers do not die of natural causes. Without the intervention of magic, they cannot be slain. Even mortal wounds will not kill a garlanger -- they will instead fall into trance, and during this time will heal completely, leaving no scars.

Universal Weaknesses: A Coming into Power cannot be experienced. No Garlanger has access to Glamour magic.

BELOW ARE THE TYPES OF FAERIE-HYBRIDS. THESE ARE NOT RACES THEMSELVES BUT RATHER THE CHILDREN OF THE NIMBUS AND OTHER THINGS. THESE COMBINATIONS MAY ARISE IN THE HUMAN WORLD (BEFORE FAE ARRIVE IN ALANOR). THINK HALF-HUMAN/HALF-FAERIE.

Lycanthrope

Average Height: 5’8-6’5
Lifespan: Immortal
Innate Magic: Ability to sniff out and dispel Glamour magic.
Strengths:
- Speed, Strength, & Endurance akin to their mantel.
- Immune to bacteria and human illnesses.
- Often able to speak to animals of their mantel’s species.
Weaknesses:
- Considered ugly for the faerie norm.
Traits: This faerie is half the animal of their mantel and actually looks like it, animal replacing humanoid counterpart (ie: paws for hands, beak for mouth, fur replacing hair, etc.). A few will have trouble speaking due to possessing an animal tongue or tusks. These sometimes will prefer to copulate with creatures of their mantel rather than other faerie. It is rumored that they are the product of faerie mating with animals.

Human

Average Height: 5’4-6’0
Lifespan: 100 years
Innate Magic: Their mortal blood is considered a poison to full-blooded faerie. Drinking it can often make Nimbus and Sidhe very sickly, and few times can kill them.
Strengths:
- Immune to bacteria and human illnesses.
- Age much slower than normal humans.
- Often seen as the most beautiful garlangers.
Weaknesses:
- Mortal
- Weaker than other faerie.
Traits: This faerie is the product of a full-blooded sidhe or nimbus breeding with a human. Human faerie appear nearly entirely mortal save for their eyes which swirl with tri-colors.

Nightflyer

Average Height: 5’6-6’2
Lifespan: Immortal
Innate Magic: Able to regenerate lost body parts almost instantaneously (head and heart not included).
Strengths:
- Immune to bacteria and human illness
- Excellent night vision
- Tentacles act as an extra sets of hands
Weaknesses:
- Some considered too hideous to live amongst the faerie, these faerie are exiled to the bowels of the Unseelie Court.
- Strength, Speed, & Endurance are usually equal to a Nimbus’s but never exceed them.
Traits: These have a nest of tentacles sprouting from their abdominal muscles, one from each muscle, which can perform tasks with the direction of the mind. These tentacles can perform tasks as complicated and delicate as the hand can manage. They also sport a set of membrane wings attached at the shoulder blades. These wings may be used to glide but are not functional for flying.

Pixie

Average Height: Heights range from a few inches to full sized fae.
Lifespan: Immortal
Innate Magic: Ability to heal plants and make plant life grow where there was previously none, even in the dead of winter.
Strengths:
- Immune to bacteria and human illness
- Flight
Weaknesses:
- Sometimes very small and frail.
- Strength, Speed, & Endurance depend upon size of the Pixie but can never exceed a Nimbus’s.
Traits: These fae possess a variety of wings from iridescent insect-like wings to butterfly wings or even feathered wings. These wings are attached at the shoulder blades and are functional.

Goblin

Average Height: Ranging from 3’ to 9’
Lifespan: Immortal
Innate Magic: No Magic.
Strengths:
- All Goblins are equal to Nimbus and Sidhe in strength, speed & endurance. Larger Goblins are many times stronger.
- Immune to bacteria and human illness
Weaknesses:
- Lack magic
Traits: These fae are products of faerie mating with the extinct goblin race. Consequently, all goblin garlanger are very old or are from a very old blood line. Goblin garlangers range in shapes and sizes; some may be large and hulking while others may be small and frail. Goblins often have extra limbs or eyes that are one solid color throughout the pupil and iris. Something occurred long ago that stripped the Goblins of their magic, until this day many Goblin garlangers are bitter for their lack of power. Sidhe, especially, despise Goblins.
