Fantasy Changelings

Lovable Dark-side

I might be a scarf. Who knows?

The quiet playing of an out of tune fiddle fills your ears as the fire burns, crackling and popping. Smiling, you down among the others around you, shivers going down your spin despite the fire that is suppose to be warming you. Along with the sound of the crackling fire comes silence, complete and utter silence until finally a rough, smoky voice enters the air. Singing a song you have heard many a time. The song of the changelings.

Down out of sight the sun it rises,


Check your cribs and dry your eyes,



The babes are safe and sound.



Put up Rowan, and pour the salt,



the fey they come now.



Once the lights of shimmered out,



the fairies come around.



In the night they creep,



drunken with wine.



In the night our they weep.





It is a mournful song that you have heard many a time, yet you can't help but wondering aimlessly what it would be like to be a changeling ad Human in the world of Fey or maybe a Fey in the world of Humans. It fascinates you.

Fey and Humans use to live in the world together, before human sight became impaired and the belief in them became something of fear. The humans lived in peace with the good neighbors until they later became blinded by hate and jealousy. Then of course fear grew and the Fey and the humans went to war. A battle that almost took out both races ended with a treaty and creation of the veil. Which separated the two kinds and kept them at peace for many years. Soon humans forgot about there old counterparts and the Fey started to fade unable to survive with the humans belief. So, the Fey started a new little game. Well, in truth they started many games, but this one was the most know to humans and fey alike.

Every 16 years the good neighbors would sneak into house and take a single child (though this rule was broken at times due to SOME OF THOSE BABIES ARE JUST TO DANG CUTE) in return they would glamour there own children and put them in their place. The whole point of the game is to let the children find there way back home, and spread belief. Though many die before because of iron poisoning on the fey side, or the fey got a little to rough with their human play things on the human side.

Okay so this whole rp will take place as you either being a child fey stuck in the human world, or a human child stuck in the veil. You must pass trials and hardships to get to where you belong or decide to stay where you are if that is your decision. Some will meet their counterparts others will be rejected by there new worlds and banished from the old it all depends on the path you take and where you're heading. I will create the thread if I get interest in this.

Oh, well the stories of Fey or Fae as they put it are older than time it selves. This rp idea is nothing new.


 
Itself* autocorrect on my phone sucks.
 
Well, Fae and Changelings have exists in mythology for a long time, so influences aren't surprising. One of the more challenging games, certainly if it is to be done well, though quite enjoyable.

The Fey are weak against iron right? Kinda like werewolves are to silver?
Cold Iron, in many variations of the stories. That is to say, "unworked" or non-forged iron.
 
Yeah, depending on how strong the fairy is, what kind, how much they are believed in. Also it depend on if they have strong glamours.


 
More or less all good neighbors are affected by iron.


 
Anyway...I need one more person to show some interest and I'll post the thread.
