In the land of the Never Never there live two courts. The Seelie and the Unseelie, though some refer to them as the summer and winter court. For millennia there has been bad blood between the two courts. To fraternize between courts is a crime punishable by execution or exile. No matter if you are royal or peasant, it is treason. Although the two courts despise each others, this hatred does not touch the human realm where it is completely normal for fae and human bring a Halfling into the world. However, it is rare that the child lives for long, because if one court knows of another's half child, especially of royal descent, they would go to all lengths to kill it or kidnap it.
While they courts had been bickering in the Never Never, there has been a secret third court in the midst. Leanansidhe, empress of the "in-between" , has been building an army. Leanansidhe was once a famous summer fae whose beauty could only be rivaled by Queen Titania of Summer Court. Leanansidhe is a powerful muse, capable of bringing normal humans under her control to play her music and even the humans had come to worship her. Filled with jealousy, Titania banished Leanansidhe to the human world, however, the muse found a loophole and created the "In Between". This world lies between the mundane world and the Never Never. She has been collecting halflings to join her army. These poor children, especially the ones who were not given any sort of glamour, did not fit in any world, they were disfigured and went into hiding until the Muse found them and brought them to her world.
Now.
The year is 2014 and summer is nearing it's end! The Seelie court holds the scepter of seasons and will have a transfer at the Autumn Equinox to transfer their power.
Faery rules and basics.
1: Seelie and Unseelie must NEVER fall in love, if even speak to each other.
2: I MEAN IT YOU WILL BE KILLED IF CAUGHT.
3: Iron can kill faeries.
4: Science and Logic weakens faeries.
5: Prolonged stay in the human world without proper Glamour to sustain them will weaken a fae.
6: All fae folk need Glamour.
7: Glamour can be found through the emotions of humans and fae alike. Positive or negative, fae thrive off of it. Glamour is used for a faeries magick and can hide a fae's true appearance depending on the strength.
8: Seelie usually do not speak with humans, as they feel above them.
9: Unseelie are usually the ones partying with humans.
10: Nyphms and Dryads are some of the only creatures able to thrive in the human world.
11: Humans who do bring a child into the world, male or female, usually forget or go insane.
12: Human children loose their ability to see the fae at age 8.
13: All halflings born from anything other than Royal Sidhe blood can see fae since they usually have some sort of deformity and their parents didn't care enough to give them glamour protection.
14: Normal humans can only see fae if a brownie spits in their eye or a sidhe reveals their true form.
15: TRUE NAMES ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN CONTROL, NEVER GIVE THEM OUT
16: Fae are sneaky. They can't lie but they can make amazing lawyers with all the loopholes they can find.
Role Play Rules:
1: Follow basic RPG rules
2:No Drama
3: Don't stay away too long without letting someone know.
4: If you want to play a ruler, you REALLY have to convince me about what you can bring to the rp table.
5: Please don't be like EVERY OTHER CHARACTER! If you see a shy girl character DON'T BE A SHY GIRL CHARACTER IT GETS OLD. Same with the courts, if you see that the winter court has a lot of "bad girls" don't try to make one. I want to try and even things out among races and gender.
