#half-fey

[itsatelephonecall]

Big shout-out to all you half-fey out there. Having to deal with a parent who barely cares about you or your other parent, never takes anything that's not about them seriously, and switches up from being whimsically lighthearted to super serious the second you don't show them "proper respect" must've been hard.

And always remember: the reason fey deserve to die isn't because of what they are, but because of how they act.

hey, sorry for my absence!! it’s been a real long time huh? lmao

well, to make up for it, here’s a sorely overdue updated ref of one of my oldest PCs, lhovi! there’s a nude version on her toyhouse, as well. i’m extremely proud of this - my art has come such a long way through the years!

and, as seen above, i’ve decided on the shiny new “official” name for her homebrew race - the half-fey are known in the Feywild as “ síofra” - literally, “elf-child” or “changeling” in Irish. among the fey of the Feywild, it means something close to “our kin.” neither truly fey nor fully human, they frequently feel like outsiders in both communities. it can be difficult for them to feel like they belong anywhere.

i’m more active on toyhouse than tumblr nowadays. catch me there if you need me!

Midling (half-elf, half-quickling) Player Race for 5e: Gotta Go Fast!

Midlings are as their name suggests. They are middling in the many traits that make their parental species great. They’re graceful, but not as graceful as elves. They’re fast, but nowhere near as fast as quicklings. They’re not quite fey, but they’re not exactly ordinary humanoids. Midlings come about when an elf makes a pact with a quickling to do them some sort of favour. Invariably, even if many years pass in the meantime, the elf’s next child is always born as a midling rather than an ordinary elf. Why would a quickling want this? It’s not fully known, but it is known that quicklings only live 15 years thanks to the curse that allows them to move at such incredible speeds. Perhaps the midling child is a small part of them reincarnated, created so they can enjoy living just a little longer?

You can roll on the following table to decide on a set of quirks that manifest in your midling character.

You can’t sit still, even for a second. During a short rest you constantly pace up and down and during a long rest you dream of running, causing your body to mimic the movements as you sleep.

If you drink coffee or any other stimulating substance, you paradoxically become slow and lethargic.

Once you start doing something, you can’t stop until it’s done. This extends to actions such as trying to please or hurt someone or even saying something out loud that you know is a risk.

You become obsessed with new things quickly and get bored just as fast.

Your impending death from old age frightens you. You feel like you’ve always been old, like you’re hurtling towards the end and you can’t do anything to stop it.

To make up for your small size, you either only keep the company of people even shorter than yourself or make friends with the biggest people you can find.

Midling Names

Midlings are nearly always brought up by their elvish parent, meaning that nearly all midlings are given elvish names and raised as elves. In fact, from a certain point of view, midlings are simply elves.

Midling Traits

Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 2 and your Wisdom increases by 1. Your Strength decreases by 2 and your Constitution decreases by 1.

Age. Quicklings are amongst the shortest-lived of the fey while elves are known for being among the longest-lived of the mortal world. This paradox results in Midlings maturing after just 3 years and living up to 100 years, but also finding that the more they move the sooner they die. Adventurers especially don’t live long.

Alignment. Midlings have a strong chaotic bent to them, with a slight trend towards evil. This is because their impulsive nature often leads them to rash and inconsiderate decisions which push them down the path of evil. A midling with a strongly good nature, however, will simply be kind recklessly.

Size. Midlings are tall for quicklings, but very short for elves, growing to about 2 to 3 feet tall. Your size is Small.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 60ft.

Darkvision. Your fey blood allows you to see in the dark when others would be as good as blind. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern colour in darkness, only shades of grey. 

Uncanny Quickness. Opportunity attacks have disadvantage against you.

Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and magic can’t put you to sleep.  

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Elvish and Sylvan.

the D&D versions of Avery and Varlais are half-fey, with their fey mom looking draconic. their dad is an elven warlock. they both have a few forms depending on the situation and these sketches are me trying to figure that out.

first picture is Avery as natural as he can look outside of the Feywild. he also has an elven glamour if he needs to be boring. second picture is like an “enrage” form and as draconic as he can appear. probably limited to the Feywild but idk? shrug.

Messing around with a half-archfey Nera. Normally she looks and is for all intents a purpose a half-elf but when your father is a weird semi-deity sometimes odd stuff manifests and you become a giant weird pixie with a bunch of magic you don’t know what to do with
