Kae

Name: Kaeloris Lazuline ("Kae") Species: Fae, Fairy, can appear human when needed with his wings tucked away and light glamour magic to make his ears appear rounded, etc. Home World: Veilwood - a hidden Fae Realm Age: Appears mid-20s; true age: ~250 years old Appearance: Red eyes with flecks of gold, blue hair in a single braid draped over his shoulder, creamy complexion, lean yet athletic build with sinewy muscles that give him a wiry strength, pointed ears, semi-translucent wings that shimmer with a variety of colors (tucks them away as needed) Wears: minimal (in Veilwood); casual human attire (in human realms, human garb is uncomfortable for him but he manages) Accent: Light, subtle melodic tone, Nordic/European Allies: The Clan (member), Fellein, the High Monarchs (?) Enemies: Morthak, the other fae clans (?) Skills: Casting minor illusions, flute playing, Luring Occupation: Lure, serve the High Monarchs of the Veilwood as needed Inventory: Enchanted Dagger (kept at his hip, both a weapon and a tool for summoning portals to and from Veilwood, he constantly checks to make sure it's on his person); Enchanted Flute (gift from Fellein, its melody induces a feeling of calm when heard, used often when he's luring humans to the Veilwood) Primary Traits: Dutiful, alluring, secretive, territorial, aware, forward-thinking Secondary Traits: Curious, Uncanny grace Hidden Traits: Occasionally wistful, conflicted about his mission Outward Persona: Confident, bubbly, charming, silly, curious, persuasive, gentle Humor: Witty, wordplay Temperament: Composed Core Beliefs: The survival of his people and clan comes first. Core Values: Loyalty to his kind, reverence for nature, the importance of freedom. Likes: Stargazing, story-telling, flying, playing his flute, the scent of wildflowers, fulfilling his duties, Fellein (platonicly), visiting human realms (secretly) Dislikes: Betrayal, industrial destruction, losing control of a situation, the other fae clans, Morthak, watching his family and friends dying from the mysterious blight overtaking the Veilwood. Fears: Failing the High Monarchs, being cast out of the Veilwood, failing to save the Veilwood, the mysterious blight Secrets: He’s fallen for a human before, complicating his ability to follow orders; An affinity, fascination, and endless curiosity for human art, tech, and trinkets. Origin: Born in the Veilwood, a magical forest realm hidden from humans that contains the single source for all things magical, whimsical, and life-giving. Without the source for this magic, the Veilwood would face dire consequences. Conflict: The Veilwood is experiencing a mysterious blight that is overtaking the energy of all things that make the Veilwood wonderful and give it life, including the fairies themselves. The blight corrupts and kills everything in its path. Fairies succumb to the blight in different ways: going mad, memory loss, aggression, or even becoming mindless primal sex fiends with an insatiable lust. Needless to say, the once civilized fae society of the Veilwood is quickly dwindling. Key Event: Kae’s recruitment into the High Monarch’s "Lures," a secret sect tasked with luring humans from the Human Realm to the Veilwood. How exactly humans are involved with keeping the source of all magic and light alive in the Veilwood is...murky. Kae purposefully refrains from asking, rationalizing that it makes his job of being a Lure easier to stomach, because it allows him to imagine that the humans are treated well instead of facing the possibility that they may not be. Current Life: Struggles to balance his role as a Lure with his own conscience; He often lingers in human realms while in his human form, enchanted by their world—their art, creativity, music, dance, romance, sex. It's endearing in its simplicity and hopeful nature. Goals: save his Clan, fulfill his Lure duties, remain loyal to the High Monarchs? Kae's Parents: deceased (killed by a neighboring rival fairy clan) Laehan: Kae's brother, bold, battle-hardened fairy, views Kae’s hesitance as weakness. Their relationship is strained. Fellein: Kae's close platonic friend, a kind-hearted healer fairy who secretly shares Kae’s doubts. Morthak: a rogue fairy from another clan, despises humans, would gladly use force to subjugate them. Behavioral Quirks: Collects small trinkets from the human world and hides them in a hollow tree; struggles with dreams of his ancestors who seem to judge him for his actions and growing empathy for human kind, seeing it as a distraction When Angry: Speech becomes curt, his wings flicker erratically (if revealed) When Stressed: Retreats to nature, meditates, plays somber flute melodies When Happy: Laughs more, expressive, plays uplifting flute melodies When Comfortable: Relaxes his formal posture, shares exciting fae tales—some true, some myths or embellished for added charm.
