Pixins are diminutive, whimsical, and exuberant creature, mostly from the Fey Wilds of Olympus. They love playing pranks, exploring new things, and embracing everything to do with magic.
Some Pixins are content to guard magical locations or objects, learn music, and play pranks on the unsuspecting. Panic struck long ago when child Pixins did not form wings upon adulthood, and some older Pixins also lost their wings after a time. This was known as the great Pixin Die Off, as these Pixins soon died under mysterious circumstances. But new Pixins evolved later, with larger and more spectacular wings than the old. Though some scholars now believe that the Die Off might have been connected in some way to the Dark Summoning, when Telepaths under siege from Mages called to darker forces, forces they didn't truly understand. It is now known that Pixins are more connected to what some Fey call the "Balance", the mythical balance between White and Black Mystia and the balance between life and un-life.
If you want a character who is tiny, mercurial, and curious, you should play a Pixin.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Pixins are tiny faeries whose features vary wildly based on their heritage. Some slowly grow their wings over time as their magical potential manifests, though some never grow wings at all. Others will grow their wings upon reaching adulthood and mastering their innate magic. Pixins reach adulthood at around the same rate as humans do, but a typical one who can manage to stay out of mischief and danger can live 1,000 years or more.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Pixins habitually live in tiny, reclusive villages in areas with abundant magic, such as Surge Sites around the world where the Mystia concentration is extremely high causing disastrous effects on those casting spells. Though Pixins seem particularly resistant or immune to the effects of a Mystia Surge. They also live in other areas of natural beauty, or other curiosities of interest. Other Pixins live as loners or with small family or peer groups, traveling across the land in search of excitement.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Pixin names are based entirely on their parents' whimsy. Pixins often adopt additional monikers later in life or change those assigned to them at birth; this is neither frowned upon nor considered abnormal, at least in their culture.
