Okay! I think this is looking pretty good. Let me know what'chall think!

Epithets: Silhouette, The Silver Lady, Goddess of Moonlight & Shadow, Lady of Masks
Alignment: Neutral
Holy Symbol: A silver crescent, sometimes within a circle.
[sblock=DescriptionPale skinned, and beautiful, with a wild tousle of dark hair atop her head, Silhouette is the youngest-appearing of all the gods, seeming to be only perhaps fourteen or fifteen years of age. She dresses in black gowns and slips, most often with bare feet. From her shoulders poke a pair of insect-like wings, a means by which she can be recognized by those able to see past her many disguises.[/sblock]
[sblock=BackgroundSilhouette is the first 'child' of the gods, brought into being by the actions of other gods rather than merely existing since immemorial times. As such she is ageless and eternal, yet forever younger than the original primordial deities. Silhouette was born out of the act of bridging opposites; two goddesses, equal and embodying opposite poles of existence, made a pact and sealed it with blood and sacrifice. This act reverberated both physically and metaphysically as an act of creation. Before that act, opposing elements were necessarily separated from each other and any 'contact' was violent. With the pact between Night and Day the notion of a 'union' of opposites came into being, and Silhouette achieved consciousness as the embodiment of that fundamental principle.

This underlying nature is most evident in Silhouette's realm of Faerie, with its constantly being 'between' concrete states. Her origin as a pact is also reflected in the 'sacredness' of pacts both for Silhouette and the faerie that are sparks of her essence. They cannot renege on their sworn word (though lesser promises can freely be broken as it suits them). Silhouette encompasses within herself many mutually antagonistic states as well: law and order, hunter and hunted, compassion and coldness, light and dark, and so on. Her nature, dictated by her origin, is to never achieve an extreme but to forever exist as a mediating force between them. This has given Silhouette a close tie with Nature, which is also characterized by constant cycles and unions of opposite and opposing forces. Even so, she is more a "sibling" to Nature than a mother or daughter; sharing metaphysical similarities and kinship, but ultimately different in essence.[/sblock]

[sblock=Realm]Faerie, The Otherworld, The Twilight Lands
In some ways Faerie is a 'reflection' of the 'real' world, and it shares many similar geographical features, though often embellished or distorted in some way. The plane is highly mutable though, and is constantly in a state of mild flux. This rarely affects large landscape features like lakes and mountains, but smaller features...or aspects of larger ones...will frequently move about when no one's looking, or change in tangible ways. Faerie is a place constantly suspended in phases of transition. It is a place of eternal "in-betweenness." Its sun is always at the horizon, never rising nor setting, giving it the name 'Twilight Lands.' It is never wholly summer, winter, autumn nor spring, but rather all four exist at once, in separate 'kingdoms.' It overlaps the real world in places like crossroads, where one is between one's origin and one's destination. The lack of day and night contributes to a sense of timelessness, which makes it very easy for one to lose track of how long one has been there. No one and nothing ages while in Faerie, but the time catches up with anyone returning to the mortal world.

The Otherworld is, to some extent, less -real- than the mortal world. Most artifacts from Faerie will cease to exist, or crumble to dust, when brought outside that realm. Fey beings who leave Faerie must 'anchor' themselves to something real...a landscape feature, or tree, or they will lose their immortality. Mortal creatures who eat fey food will find themselves starving to death upon leaving. In addition, a mortal who stays long enough in Faerie, eating their food, breathing their air, will start to slowly -become- fey as the substance of their bodies is replaced.

Faerie has borders with several other planes. It is most closely aligned with the mortal realm, but shares borders with the dreamworld as well. It's said that if one could fly to the sun, on the other side one would find the heavens of Solarion??. Meanwhile, there are abysses and chasms in the caverns beneath the surface that, should one fall in, one would fall all the way into the spider-filled depths of The Black Chasm. As a rule, it is not hard to stumble into Faerie, should the conditions be right. Getting out again can be trickier.[/sblock]
[sblock=Denizens]Faerie is populated by beings that share their world's name: the faerie, or fae for short. They come in a bewildering array of sizes and shapes, though most are at least nominally humanoid in form. Almost all of them are gifted with magical abilities, though these are more often mischievous in nature than outright dangerous. Fae are ageless, dying only through violence or misadventure, though it's unusual that they have long-minded viewpoints or long term, byzantine plots. Most fae live their eternities one day at a time, filling each with whatever pleases it the most...be it frolicking and making merry, or horrific acts of violence.

Fae often have powerful ties to natural features in their vicinity. This is especially true of dryads and nymphs. Even more free-roaming fae such as pixies will sometimes fixate on a household or individual person, either bedeviling them or trying to aid them...though sometimes it's hard to tell which is which.

Few fae dally long outside of Faerie, with the occasional exception of dryads and nymphs who become attached to trees or lakes in the mortal realm. One other big exception are the gnomes, who were originally fey but struck out into the mortal world en masse to escape persecution by fey goblins. There they became mortal, but still retain some of their carefree mindset and magical gifts.[/sblock]

I think it's incredibly well done. I'm particularly impressed with the Background and how you've made your conception of Faerie just fit like a puzzle piece with what we've done. Nice work!

Nice ML I think Ymir may = The Urborg Giant so be on the look out for a Celestial Cow to come and save the day.

Great job! Oh and here is a pictura suitable for Lavaria.

Great Shayuri just replace the above post with the old RG one and you are set.

Now how to get you into the game and make it memorable? Also I have a question: Though it doesn't make mention in the Denizens part do the Fae worship Silhouette?

Ok going to think of a way to gt you in while I'm off work the next two days will you be ready by this Thu/Fri (not for combat thinking of something more sinister, ) MUHAHAHA!! ok sorry just been awhile since I got to be an evil DM (and it's hard when the charaters are gods).

HM

holy crap that pic is awesome... sooooo snagging that.. thanks SO much Myth

Yee! Cool deal.

As for the relationship between Silhouette and the fae...I don't think it's accurate to say they 'worship' her. The fae were her first attempt at creation, and they're too similar to her to worship her...they're not really capable of worship. She is their nominal ruler, and any fey present will happily obey the orders of the Queen. She even has fey retainers that live in and around her tower at the center of Faerie. They recognize her superiority, but it isn't worship...not the way a human being experiences it. For the fey, obeying Silhouette is like falling down a hill, or a leaf turning orange in autumn...it's part of the natural order.

It probably doesn't help much that Silhouette doesn't encourage or demand worship either, at least not in terms of dogma. Of the mortal races she has a few matriarchal 'mother/creator' cults among gnomes (though most gnomes are disposed towards hero worship, deifying great ancestors of their own kind), and there are goblin she-priestesses who worship her 'winter' aspects. On the other hand, as a goddess of hunting, cunning and fortune fair or foul, she has many pockets of devotion and worship among all races. You won't find many churches or shrines in her name, but there aren't many hunters who don't carry a silver charm to earn her favor...and she is the bitch goddess of gamblers, rogues and ne'er-do-wells who love her and hate her by turns on the roll of a dice.

Okay, sheet updated. I added a picture too!

You seem to have ideas on how to add Sil, so that's fine. A couple things that may, or may not help:

Silhouette is, especially at this time, very curious and inquisitive about her surroundings. Sort of like a cat in a new house, she's liable to crawl all over just to see what's behind what.

She's rather enamoured of the mortal world; it's size and complexity and beauty. She's already learning that one of her favorite experiences is to be truly surprised. But then again, she has yet to experience an unpleasant surprise.

Not sure if she's aware of the other gods yet. A lot depends on whether or not she's discovered the Grey Mists. I leave that to you.

Oh hey, would it be possible for Silhouette to have been in the mortal world before she met, or saw, the other gods. I want to have a period of time open where I can plausibly set up the origin story of lycanthropes, and why she's so antagonistic and dangerous towards them.

Wow that picture fits the concept so well it kind of makes me think you went the other way around and created the concept because of that picture But honestly, I'm thinking you did like me and just wanted to play out your queen of Fairys concept that was conjured up for Jemal's Legends, just like me and my Sun Maiden concept?

Oh, I have saved some fairy pictures, there are definitely more of those out there than there are of fire girls (although i did add another fire girl, one that i've had for a while now). Take your pick:
