Fae

Fae, also known as Faeries or Fair folk, are a type of mythical creature. Fae come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes.

Physiology & Behaviour
Their wide plumage allows for a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Most Fae tend to be mostly human in appearance with some non-human traits to distinctify them as Fae, with a few exceptions such as Radandars and Goblins. The thing that is common in most Fae is that they age at the same rate as humans until the age of 13. Afterwhich, their growth rate begins to slow. Some can appear to be young human adults at the age of 300. They tend to live up to 500 years, but some have been said to hit a thousand.

All Fae naturally lack the modesty and sense of shame that humans do when not wearing clothing items.

Some Fae, such as Radandar, cannot assume human forms as their souls are bound to trees.

Undines are the only known Fae capable of turning into humans through natural means.

Fae tend to be mischievious. Fae unbound by the concept of courts are not limited by absolutes, and prefer shades of grey - not wholly good or wholly evil.

Breeding
Fae breed in a wide variety of ways depending on varieties.

When Fae of different varieties breed, their offspring is the race of either parent, and the closest thing to a hybrid is the offspring being able to learn magic that one parent is racially capable of but the other one is not.

Culture
Fae have a wide deal of cultures and festivals. Some of them are based on their various varieties.

Fae are not a fan of clothing items and have no sense of modesty at all. Most Fae are therefore naked with a few exceptions, such as Dullahan, who wear armour a good deal of the time.

Fae are said to be 'young adults' at 13 years, and reach 'true adulthood' at 100 years.

Fae Culture will mostly differ based on population and location,

Weaknesses
Fae are unable to lie, but they can twist truths into riddles, or just not talk. However, they can be lied to by non-Fae.

While most Fae are repelled and weakened by iron, there are a great deal exceptions, such as Dullahan, that are repelled by gold instead, or Elementals, which show no weakness to any metals. Iron is near-nonexistent in places with a wide plumage of Fae.
