Rules

Sirens are known

for their hypnotic singing voices.

They often

mesmerize men

and cause them to

wreck their ships before eating

them.  They are primarily meat

eaters, feasting

on mostly fish and sea creatures, and

humans when they can find them. The

academy is trying

to teach them

that eating people is wrong and

encourage them

to feast only on animals, but the occassional

nibble sometimes happens. It is in

their nature after

all. In the past,

humans have

confused sirens

with merfolk and harpies, but they

are neither.

Sirens are distinguishable by their completely

black eyes and

razor sharp teeth. They have webbed fingers and toes

with sharp nails

to assist with swimming. They primarily reside in sea caves and are

often seen along rocky shores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fae, otherwise

known as faery

folk or fairies, are famed for their abductions of

human children.

They have the

ability to create

or become changelings,

which take on

the form of

abducted humans

to fool

their families

and loved ones. Changelings

can either be

an enchanted

 

block

of wood or an

actual fairy that shapeshifts. Changelings

were excellent

spies and easily

able to abduct

more humans. Humans were abducted for

two reasons: breeding and servitude. Children were easier to

abduct because

they are impressionable

and easier to trick and condition.

Males were used

as servants and females were pampered until maturity and then bred by fairy husbands. Surprisingly, when

a human and a

fairy breed, their offspring is twice

as powerful as a regular fairy.

Fairies hoped they could create an

elite army and take over the human realm, but their efforts were unsuccessful once humans caught

onto them and

began killing changelings. Fae

are distinguishable

by their gorgeous butterfly-esque wings. They have pointed ears, and

are often confused with Pixies, but they are larger and have smaller ears than Pixies. Fairies are more regal and like to dress in fine clothes. They will

get angry if you

call them a Pixie.

Fae are prideful,

like elves, and do

not like being controlled. They often feel rather superior to other species. They

possess magic abilities and can shape-shift, create illusions, fly,

levitate objects,

mend broken

things, and create healing potions.

They can

eat both plants

and meat, but

they seem to prefer

being gatherers

and feasting on

nuts and berries.

They do not like to harm animals, but they will fight a

pixie or another species at the drop

of a hat. They used

to reside in the

fairy realm, but

it was destroyed

when abducted humans and half-fairies revolted

and burned down everything,

forcing them to flee

into

the human world. They prefer areas with lots of flowers. Their wings produce fairy dust which

can be thrown at people and used to make them fly, burn their skin, seduce,

or hypnotize them.

Pixies are commonly mistaken for fairies. They are fae creatures, but there are key differences. Pixies are smaller than fairies (muses 5’8 or under please~). They are extremely sneaky and spiteful. They have terrible tempers and are known for fighting and screeching at people. They absolutely love to play pranks, steal things, and harass people. They are greedy, often hoarding stolen objects. Pixies wear little to no clothing, and it is often made from forest materials such as leaves and flowers and barely covers anything. It is not uncommon for them to go . The teachers are trying their best to make them at least wear their uniforms, but it is often unsuccessful. Pixies have wings like fairies and sharp teeth like sirens. They have very long, pointy ears, longer than even elf ears. They also have tiny claw-like nails. Their magic is weaker and usually used more for pranks (like creating the illusion of an angry bear in the dining hall just to cause panic). They are scavengers and will eat whatever they can find with no problem and generally reside in forests. Their wings do not produce fairy dust like fairies, though for some reason people started calling it pixie dust, which is incorrect.

Nymphs are a rare breed. There are two types: water and forest. They are directly tied to nature, charged with looking after the environment they live in. They can communicate with both plants and animals. Water nymphs usually live in streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes. They are freshwater creatures. They have bright blue eyes and blue/silver tinted skin and glistening scales. They look after the creatures and plants in their bodies of water as well as along the banks. (like helping fish caught on fish hooks, saving drowning humans and such). They can control water and freshwater plants as well as aquatic animals. Forest nymphs reside in trees, and leaves, vines, and even flowers sprout from their heads like hair. They have bright green eyes and green tinted skin. They look after the animals and plants in their forests. They can make trees move and communicate with them, having control over plants and animals. Don’t get on their bad side or you may end up with a tree in your bed or something. Both types of nymphs have long claw-like fingernails and four tiny pointed canines. They prefer not to wear clothes as they naturally exist without them. They are generally even-tempered, unless you mess with them or their precious animals or plants. They are strictly vegetarian and refuse to harm animals. (They dislike elves for being hunters). Eating meat will make them ill. Nymphs are extremely gifted healers and can use either water or plants to heal injured creatures and people. Too much use of their power will require them to rest for a short period though.

Elves are the most similar to humans. They have pointed ears and wear their hair long and in braids (think LOTR). They may or may not have brightly colored eyes depending on the elf. Elves live off the land, hunting, gathering and building immaculate tree houses. They value strength and agility, and are very prideful and stuck in their ways. They are royally pissed off and indignant about being at the academy as they feel like it is unnecessary. They feel they are more civilized than the other creatures. They make their own clothes and boots from animal hides and materials found in the forest. They also make their own weapons and like to wear flower/berry crowns. They can be a bit stuck up and are likely to complain a lot.

Veela are strange creatures. They are often confused with Harpies, but they are very different. Veela are extremely beautiful, practically albino, with pale skin, white-blond hair and bright blue eyes. (Blond muses only please~) They smell divine, and they have seductive powers, which makes it all too easy to get men wrapped around their fingers. Flipping or playing with their hair makes men weak for them, wanting nothing more than to earn a veela’s favor. Men will become infatuated and do whatever a veela asks, making fools out of themselves. While they look angelic and elegant, Veela can be deadly. When provoked, they change into a terrifying form with sharp tallon-like nails, dragon-like wings, and an enormous, sharp beak. They can also throw fireballs from their palms. Veela eat human foods and haven taken to relying on men to pamper them and take care of them, somewhat blending into society until provoked and revealing their true forms. The academy is trying to put a stop to that and teach them to take care of themselves.

Harpies have been confused with many species, but they are very unique. They are bird creatures. They have enormous wings that they can tuck around themselves, giving them the appearance of a bird with a human head. They have the lower half of a bird, with a tail, feathers, and talons. When their wings are extended, they have human arms beneath them that they can untuck and use separately from their wings. They also have a human form which they can change into at will. Their human form has sharp claws and bright amber or honey colored eyes. Harpies are born in large nests and raised like birds. They eat meat not worms though. Harpies are extremely aggressive over food, so they are definitely not someone you want to steal from, though they might snatch your lunch. They are known for swooping down and stealing meat from hunters.
