Appearance:



Personality:
Honorable: Nuada is a phoenix bound by his honor and will avoid corrupting it at almost any cost. If he agreed to do something he won’t back down even if the activity terrifies him.
Impulsive: Nuada is far more likely to act on his emotions that rational thought when a situation presents itself. As a result he tends to act without putting too much thought in the matter, especially when someone has managed to enrage him. This tends to get him in a bit of trouble.
Competitive: Competitions is one of Nuada’s favorite activites and he doesn’t hide it. Whether it be a physical challenge or a game of wit he will join in whole heartedly and put his full effort into beating his opponent. While he isn’t a sore loser, he is the type to ask for a rematch not because he wants to win but because he enjoys the challenge.
Protective: Once Nuada becomes attached to someone he will become incredibly protective of them. If the bond was strong enough he’d be willing to die for that person without even a second thought. In a way being Nuada’s friend also makes him your body guard and he has very little mercy for those who mess with his friends.
Free Spirited/Rebellious: If there is one thing Nuada hates more than anything else in the universe its being controlled or restrained. He is a free spirited individual who loves to follow his own path and to always do what he wants even when other people tell him not to. Needless to say this creates a serious problem when it comes to authority.
Festive: Nuada loves a good festival or a rowdy feasts to the point where he will hold his own for any reason he can find. If there is anything that is even minorly cheerful he will hold a celebration as soon as he can. This can be a bit strange for many other people but the fairy truly loves celebrations and won’t ever apologize for it.
Caring: Nuada truly cares for his friends and will go out of his way to help them whenever they need it. He can be a bit rowdy and chaotic at times but there isn’t much he values over the happiness of those he considers close to him. As such even this wild child will drop his usual chaotic nature to make sure his friends are alright.






History:[Optional)



Name of Species:Phoenix/Fairy

Baseline Dimension:
Fairies are wispy and petite. When in full human form, they are rarely over 5'5, and as small as 4'9". To be easily lifted by insect wings they must also be lightweight, clocking in between 75 and 85 pounds.

Human Form: Any height or weight is possible. It is possible to be aged anywhere between thousands of years before the Ancient War, to freshly born. It's also possible to lose some, most, or all memories in the rebirth process. It is possible for personality to also change in the rebirth process.

Phoenix Form: They are pretty big birds. Anywhere from eagle to larger than human size in the body, not counting wingspan.

Baseline Appearance:
Human Form: Due to the widespread of this species, nearly any physical trait is possible. The only thing that sets them apart physically are their eyes, which are unusually vivid colors, and crazy feathers that stick out of their hair at molting season, which is usually once every month.

Phoenix Form: Their eye color is constant regardless of form. While it is most common for phoenixes to have warm hued color schemes such as yellows, oranges, and reds, other colors are possible as well. Color can also change due to rebirth trial results.

Having a mostly human appearance, they have access to all normal human options as well as some quirky flower-hued extras. The skin of a fairy can be either very human or more translucent, taking on a shimmery pearlescence and can even softly glow. Their ears are pointy and vary in length, and while their size is small they manage to look slightly elongated and lanky. All fairies have wings, even if they aren't always visible. These can be anywhere from half their body, to just as big if not slightly bigger, and are insect-like. Most common are butterfly or dragonfly styles, but any insect will do.

Culture/Origin of Species:
[Phoenix]:While the species has its roots in mediterranean climates and ancient mythology, the Phoenixes as a whole spread throughout the world and assimilated into nearly every society once able to shapeshift into human form. Most cultures have a form of the original pre-war mythos, and thus this species is shaped where the individual grew up. No matter what, though, they are nearly fearless in dangerous situations, making them a fiery, altruistic, and impulsive people. This derives from their disregard for death, since they can be reborn in flames and rise from the ashes once again.

One constant strictly to Phoenix culture is their mecca, hidden away in a secret land simply called Aubade. It's the place where the very first phoenix, Vissarion, still resides with a group of the earliest ancestors. They form the Bask Council and hand down the sun religion and rules for all other phoenixes. While mostly silent, they primarily provide political guidance and orders when needed, as well as the guidelines and rules for rebirth.

The soul of a phoenix after death travels to a spiritual world that is different for each individual, but the challenges and choices made there shape the new phoenix they will become. It tests the strength of character and will, and can have impact on anything from personality to retaining memories of the previous life. Vissarion is said to have one eye in the spiritual realm, making sure phoenixes remain a lawfully aligned species.

Rebirth is not to be taken lightly, since being immortal comes with responsibilities to everyone. Those reborn that chose selfishly or fail some aspects during their spirit trial can become chaotically aligned. Suicide is the heaviest taboo, since it is usually used selfishly to get back to the spiritual world and make changes, good or bad. Vissarion will see such things and dispatch enforcers to either force another rebirth as a reset of sorts, or to ensure the offender dies permanently should they be set on becoming a blight on the Phoenix race. While it is stated that the removal of a soul is permadeath akin to any other races death, there is a rumor that the souls are possibly contained somewhere in Aubade, in a vessel trapped in an inescapable afterlife.

[Fairy]:The Fae, Pixies, Erlking, all these fall under one species; Fairies. These are magical creatures with generally human appearances and magical powers. They're mischievous by nature and love to trick people, especially humans. With few exceptions, fairies tend to live inside very large trees in Elmfig Forest, the gathering place for the courts, or any other forest nearby with trees large enough. Students that go to Eldritch Academy might have some adjusting to do to life in the dorms.

The general culture for all fairies is very nature centric. Nature is their religion. It is very rare and frowned upon for any fairy to eat meat, since animals are friends. Like most species, there is the good and the bad. King Dune Oberon is the head of the Seelie court, comprised of like minded benevolent fairy folk who favor peace, but won't hesitate to defend and protect their interests. The Unseelie court is ruled by Queen Camellia Novus, whose views and subjects are far more militaristic and volatile. The drastic differences between the Seelie and Unseelie are so obvious, especially since they have fought each other in the past, people around Mistere tend to call them Light and Dark fairies.

Native to Mistere even before the Ancient War, all fairies are loyal to their land and forests, making them all the more agitated that these resources are dwindling in light of modernization, expansion, and technology. King Oberon has a seat in Mistere's Congress, giving a passionate voice in favor of conservation and environmentalism. It's one of the few things he and Queen Novus agree on.

Traits:
• Immortality: Phoenixes can die, yes, but they are reborn either in a fiery blaze or rise up from the ashes within hours. They have 3 points in vitality.
• Pyromancy: Naturally attuned to flame, phoenixes are more adept with using the element to both harm and protect, and sometimes as a source of spooky divination.
• Size: Fairies can adjust their size at will, from as small as a thimble to their average human form.
• Wings: Regardless of what insect-like creature they borrow their wing design from, all fairies can fly.
Flaws:
• Molting: Molting happens about once a month, and renders a phoenix exhausted and lazy. It's almost like an illness such as a cold, where they will appear less than healthy and cough ash. This lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 days, but robs them of their flames until the fire is rekindled and burns the molting away.
• Bare Feet: Wearing shoes will impede their access to magic.
