Discord Note - A LOT of lore and character information is stored here for safekeeping because this world is getting pretty detailed now! Please feel free to pop in for discussion and more lore information - but there will still be a main hub thread in the future!
Heyo I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in a bigass RP group of all the fairies, elves, and humans you guys can muster! This thread's open constantly for newbies to join in, and the Discord now has a lorebook area wherein we'll keep track of major events! Feel free to chip in plot events you guys wanna see happen, and ideas - all ears are open until we're ready to make the official character signup thread. :D
The world is based in fairy lore, and also a mix of random things to maintain some sense of order and sense. Plots discussed so far are a Romeo and Juliet style cross between both kingdoms, some kidnappings that rustle the jimmies of the other races such as humans which could provoke a possible siege/war, and and some team-ups that could possibly bring down the tension between the Seelie and Unseelie themselves. Still lots to chat about to see how big we can really make this - characters branching off and RPing with each other in their own trips during RP is probably going to be a thing, don't worry about it and have fun! Worldbuilding, yay!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Seelie Kingdom
Art; Annike-Andrews, DA
---- Generally classic bright and happy magical forest type of fairies and elves. They protect nature, and generally do good things; protecting the forest from those who plan to poach animals or burn down trees. They have very high standards of society and prefer to keep to themselves, but they open up to other races in terms of trading and learning about other stories, lore, and culture. They are warm, welcoming, and often helpful to those who are in need. Some can be tricky and mischievous, but they usually don't go out of their way to permanently hurt another life - including humans.
---- They lose their power in the night, when the Unseelie's moon rises into the sky. Their strengths are derived from the heat and photosynthesis of the sun that brings life to their trees and plants, and so they are deeply connected to it. Most have animal companions, or creatures they've managed to create purely from magic and are very rare. The magic-made ones tend to be intelligent, and sometimes have the abilities to speak. They have taken magic to an art level, and spend a lot of time singing things into existence, or creating twisting, winding trees, and unique glowing plants to bring them light at night.
---- In terms of politics, Seelie tend to be very calm, quiet, and peaceful in how they choose their kings and queens. They do not go through bloodborn right, or births. They choose kings and queens according to need, or if their prior monarch dies. They choose the one amongst them they find is most fitting, with the mental demand to handle the tasks of the people in order to rule effectively, and choose according to magic defense rather than offense. Meetings are common, as are flower celebrations and feasts. Most of these are done in honest good will and fortune, yet it is still advised to be reserved if offered vigorous hospitality; what is offered must then in turn be repaid.
The Unseelie Kingdom
Art; melissa1412, DA
---- The Unseelie tend to be silent in speech and walk, and usually when they talk, it's for their own selfish purpose and manipulation. Not all that come from the Unseelie are evil, however the evil ones all do. They tend to find lost humans or elves in the forest, and pretend to be of the Seelie Kingdom, coaxing them to their rare nighttime dances and parties. DO NOT dance with fairies. Unseelie who offer food and drinks tend to hold that debt to whoever they offered it too, and it is advised, Seelie or Unseelie alike, to try to avoid falling into a sense of debt with them. Fae know that humans are particularly weak to this, since they have no sense of magic at all, and will ask repayment in impossible tasks, taking "offense" to the lack of hospitality they were offered.
---- While the Unseelie have an unsavory reputation, and the Seelie absolutely despise them, they tend to avoid war with each other on grounds that neither side wants to die. Seelie avoid it because they are afraid. Unseelie avoid it because they are selfish enough in their own desires that they want to continue living, and in a sort of unspoken peace, do not throw their brothers and sisters into battle for their sakes as well. They in turn, are reserved amongst each other, and very rarely hold events with parties - but when they do, they are wild, loud, and full of light shows in the darkness.
---- They are hedonists who are often slaves to their own desires. This tends to make them impulsive, compulsive, and slow-witted in terms of sense, wherein Seelie are collected and think before they act. Hedonism sometimes leads to unsavory hobbies, activities, or accidental lack of knowledge or social awkwardness. This isn't always intentional. All Unseelie lose power during the daytime, and most are therefore nocturnal when the moon rises in the sky again.
Those Who Walk the Middle Road
Some fae are outcasts to both sides for practices that ostracize them from their own kind. They are called Rogues, and can either be in a faction and often an outcast while being there, or choose to leave and live alone. They are neutral - some are good, some are bad. Beware.
----------------------------------------
Name: Authello (Aulo)
Gender/Sex: Male/Male
Titles: Lord of Spiders, Lord of Night & Cold Race:
Fairy (Wingless)
Age: 387
Height: 7'
Weight: 190lbs
Lord of Spiders:
Aulo had always had an affinity with nightmares, and one of the biggest feeds of energy to bad dreams is spiders. Slowly over time, he warped spiderlike, and has the ability to telepathically communicate with the mass swarm that inhabits his castle. They are fist-sized, solid black, and have the ability to speak in very high, sweet female voices. The Augury (messengers/messengers of death) do his dirty work, and also maintain the castle in place of servants. One inparticular is named Samantha (Sam) and likes to perch on his shoulder, or under his hat. She is his Whisperer, or spy, and while sweet, is not to be trusted. Like a spider, Aulo prefers meat, and rarely has prisoners in his dungeons. He eats them, and this often causes fear and unrest amongst the Seelie who know about it.
Lord of Night & Cold:
After his affinity with spiders began to change him, his association with darkness and fear led the Moon to choose him as his Avatar. He rules the nighttime - if destroyed, the Moon will also be subsequently destroyed. At some point, he hopes to become the Moon himself, and repeat the god's cycle - but that day is not today. The Moon bestowed upon him the gift of ice, and he uses it to his best ability in dire need. He can freeze and unfreeze any liquid, including blood, and has established his castle partly out of ice. The Unseelie Appointment: Those of the dark fae respected his powers over darkness and fear, and given his gifts of ice the Moon himself gave to him, he was seen as a mighty force with knowledge and power enough to command their kingdom. When the prior Unseelie King died, he summoned Aulo to the court to offer him the position. Not just for his power, but also for his penchant to playing fair and also just. Over time, he grew quiet and distant, yet reasonable. While he may look the part of a fool, only true fools disregard the words of other's mouths.
Personality:
Aulo is aloof, odd, and mostly silent. He rarely speaks unless spoken to for a question, and his voice is calm and resonant. He prefers most of his time alone, smoking his hookah, and maintaining order and peace. This peace is tense with the Seelie Kingdom, but neither side seems to make a move to start a war - and he particularly loathes the prospect of it. The unspoken treaty of both kingdoms keeps the fae alive, and that's his bottom line. To protect his people. He comes off cold, distant, and possibly rough, but in actuality is very much a softie. He has a weakness with ladies, and often acts as much a gentleman as he can. While he tends to be sophisticated and calm, his punishments in his kingdom are often cruel, to set as examples. The Unseelie Kingdom has a surprising lack of crime due to this, and since he comes off so calm and collected, it is considered "unpredictable." Truly, it's only when deserved, in his eyes. Do not think he is unapproachable - he will always extend hospitality, even if Seelie.
Relationship to the Seelie:
He will always show respect and commitment to peace, even if the Seelie do not get along well with him. He is aware the bad fae often come from his own kingdom - but makes a point that not all Unseelie are evil, and strives to prove this point. He hopes at one point the unspoken treaty of peace is never broken, and while most show him fear, especially in company of the Augury, he always maintains his collected calmness in public to prove a point. He hopes to someday clear the reputation. Evil fae in his kingdom often get away with their deeds, only because Aulo has not heard of it yet. But when justice is due, he delivers.
If Needed in RP:
There may come a time in branched off personal RP that you may want Aulo a part of a scene or situation - feel free to ping Jester with the link, so that we can catch up, and it will be roleplayed, as he is not an NPC. Jester is always open for pings and will respond when available!
