Rules
I. You may only be one of the races described below. You cannot be a mix of two or more races. Let's keep things nice and simple.
II. If your character has magic available to them, do not go overboard with it and make it all-powerful. Just because you're a water nymph, that doesn't mean you can call forth massive floods that kill everything instantly. Basically, don't use magic as an excuse to godmod.
III. Your character can start out with spouses, lovers, children, and other family members, but those other characters will be NPCs that are playable by everyone and you must make a separate profile for them in the NPC thread.
IV. Keep your ages appropriate. You cannot have a human who's 1,000 years old but looks fourteen. They're fourteen. Average lifespans and maturity ages of the different races will be provided for you. Use them.
Races
Faeries - Faeries are human-sized creatures with wings. They have illusionary magic and usually choose to identify themselves and their magic with one of the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire or Water. Faerie years are arbitrary and hard to track, but for the sake of this roleplay, each faerie year is equivalent to 200 human years. A faerie who is 3, 000 years old by human measurements would only be 15 years old by faerie measurements and would have the same physical and mental development as a 15 year old human.
Elves - Elves are generally very tall and slender with fluid movements and an almost alien-like appearance. They have long, narrow faces with large, slanted protuberant eyes. Elves can be dark or light-skinned, but all share very slender facial features. Elves are fiercely protective of nature and their young, since it is difficult for them to breed. Many elves miscarry, have still-borns or die during childbirth, so the few children who do survive are precious to them. The average lifespan of an elf is 700 years, reaching maturity at 110 years.
Nymph - Nymphs are creatures with a human shape and quite literally are one of the four elements. Nymphs can display a variety of characteristics and features that correspond to their element and only possess magic borne from that element. They have the ability to transform into their element and need to be surrounded by that element to survive. Nymphs who are disconnected from their element weaken and die quickly. Nymphs tend to flee danger by turning into their element, but are able to fight if need be. The average lifespan of a nymph is 100 years, reaching maturity at 20.
Humans - Humans are the exact same as real humans. They can be dark or light-skinned, tall or short, fat or skinny. They can adapt and adjust to any environment and their personalities are as varied as the number of stars in the sky. They have no magic, but can purchase and use simple charms infused with magic to prevent unwanted pregnancies, increase fertility, draw health or prosperity to a home and other common, everyday things. Their average lifespan is 80 years, reaching maturity at 15. Many humans marry and begin having children at this age.
Gnomes/Halfings - Gnomes and halflings look like miniature humans, reaching up to the thigh of a human of average height. They are generally mischievous and love playing tricks, but are not mean-spirited. Their impish antics are all in good fun. Gnomes/Halflings can be called by either name. They most commonly give birth to twins. It's considered lucky and a sign of good fortune if a gnome gives birth to only one baby, but this rarely happens. The average lifespan of a gnome is 50 years, reaching maturity at 13.
Half-Elf - A cross between a human and an elf. Usually the product of a short-lived romance between a human and an elf. They are built more solidly, like a human, but have slanted eyes and pointed ears like an elf. Half-Elves have an easier time reproducing than Elves, but still have a higher than average chance of complications. They have very limited elf magic. Their average lifespan is 150 years, reaching maturity at 18.
Pixies - Pixies are tiny little winged creatures no bigger than a grown man's thumb. They are fickle and vain and are easily angered. Despite their small size, many people are afraid to cross a pixie. They have an incredible amount of magic and can do a lot of damage with it.
