Prewritten Fae Characters
For this game, you will receive a pre-written character of around 3 pages. It will be possible to additionally ask for an audio version of your character.
All characters will be Fae and part of a kin of Fae of the same background and heritage – a clan or an entourage, so to speak. This will determine the general flavour of your character, however, we aim to make the groups diverse and interesting internally.
You will receive two to three pre-written relations to other characters outside of your group, as well as the chance to coordinate with the players of your group and others to make additional relations. This is where we want to stress the co-creative factor of this game: The more stories you weave into our web of existing stories, the more colourful and alive this game will become!
You will also receive a name, some background, and personality traits for your character. These should serve as an inspiration and can be adjusted to your own input if you want.
Genderless Characters
All characters will be written and played without gender. Fae society is not human and the concept of gender is bewildering and strange to them. As such, all characters will be using the pronouns “they/them” and gendered words such as “man” or “woman” are to be avoided. Should you encounter them anyway, treat them as genderless terms applicable to all.
Note: We are aware that this is not what most of us are used to in off-game real life and we might mess up. That is ok! We will not be running around, handing out red cards to people who accidentally use the wrong pronoun. But we ask you to trust us and try this with us – we expect it to become natural after a few hours of playing. And much more, we are excited to see what characters we all can create together without the boundaries of gender!
Adjustments
Once you receive your character, you can let us know if you would like to change anything about it! We don’t need to know about minor changes (like the exact character traits – we trust you on this to run off and have fun with the inspiration we give you) but should you wish to change the background or opt-out of relations, we need to know to adjust the stories that involve other players.
Note: During Sign-up, you will be able to state preferences for your character in regards to your primary group and themes.
