Character Concepts

Home This is a game set in the Fae mythology of Ireland and the British Isles. Characters taken from this mythology are available to all players Emissaries from Northern & Western European Fae mythologies are also welcome, although the number of these available is restricted to maintain the theme of the game

Other creatures that closely tie into the fae may also be allowed but will be very restricted and concept must be discussed with the refs in advance.

Humans must be from Ireland or the British Isles If you are (OoC!) from a culture outside of north and western Europe and would like to explore a myth from that, we would like to support you in doing so, but we recognise that we may benefit from discussing sources with you, particularly if we’re unfamiliar with the myth in question (eg: Fox maidens turn up a lot, we’d want to be sure we were talking about the same tale!)

We feel strongly that these five subsets provide a very wide range of character options. Please do not appropriate from other cultures outside this range.

Banned Concepts
In this game there will be absolutely zero mention of or allusion to sexual assault, rape, or sexual abuse of minors. Of course, certain character backgrounds may include themes of: being taken by the Fae, difficult childhoods, bad romantic histories with people, unhealthy relationships, etc.

However, you must refrain from any reference to the prohibited topics, and talking in graphic depth about anything that might strongly relate to them. Allusions and euphemism are equally unacceptable. All characters must be of adult age

For example, you may play a human who was taken to sweep the Faerie stables and then a Fae fell in love with you, but you cannot have been taken for the purpose of becoming their wife or lover.

This also includes Fae whose existence depends on the above, such as the Gancanagh, which are banned from play
