This is information on the creatures or beings you can be, you can read this then go to character claim.)
Faerie: The main known beings of the land of Fae, they are light skinned, graceful, and of the highest social stances. Though most are women, there are a decent amount of men. Very few of them have wings, the ones who do are of royal or angelic blood (the Queen does not have wings).
Elf: Usually 6-8 feet tall, wise and caring. Elves take up most of the Seelie court do to there knowledge. Most elves either become knights/guards for the queen or a council member.
Pixie: Known as the children of the fae, these creatures usually take on the shape of young human children with pointed ears. They love playing tricks on humans or any of the fae. No one knows from where they came, the ones in The Land of Fae have been around for hundreds of years.
The Wild Hunt: The Wild Hunt are an independent and free-ranging group of faeries.
The Wild Hunt rides at night across the skies or along the ground, in mad pursuit of an eternal hunt. They anticipate battles and lie in wait until it's all over, after which they come to gather the dead, though at times they choose their battles.[1] From these dying men, they claim some to either serve them or join them in their hunts. Aside from this, new Hunters are recruited once a year, when a mortal is allowed or given the opportunity to join them; once they join the Hunt, however, they can never leave it.[2] The only time a Hunter may leave is when they are actually given permission.
The Hunters themselves may either be other faeries or the dead. Faeries who are of the Wild Hunt are not ordinary faeries; for some reason, they are immune to typical faerie weaknesses, such salt, grave dirt, and cold iron. Unlike the Court faeries, they are not simply identified as immortal; instead, they are said to be neither alive or dead. The rules of time also do not apply to them, as in the Faerie; time runs differently for them, sometimes either faster or slower than the mortal world.
The Hunters are a wild assortment of riders. Some ride black horses, which have scarlet hooves, and massive black dogs, or hounds, with bright orange eyes. Others ride modern forms of transport such as black carriages drawn by skeletal steeds or motorcycles gleaming with chrome and bone and onyx. They bear a variety of weapons: swords, maces, spears, and crossbows. The Hunters also notably have heterochromia iridum, or mismatched eye colors, as one of their eyes change color once they officially join the Hunt.[1]
Upon their approach, the sounds of their hunting horn, their shouts, and battle cries can be heard. When they ride through the sky, they are usually accompanied by the strong winds and the clouds that seem to come alive as they pass by.

Changling: A human who has been taken from their homes as a baby and replaced with a sickly faerie child, they are used to purify and make a faerie bloodline stronger. Eventually they become complete faeries after a few years in fae.
Captured Human: A human that has somehow found their way into Fae and is unable to escape. Extremely rare.
