Scraped from here.
Now this isn't me abandoning my previous quest. I still have plenty of energy for that one. It's mostly me spectacularly bored. Also to be honest, this is a bit of curiosity. It's me wondering if the setting done in A Necromancer is You has enough interest to do something more with it. If you are interested feel free to vote. Please put it in [x] Vote format, and edit if you change it so I can check easy. It's also very helpfull if you copy paste votes you want to second. This is going to be a bit more character driven than the other work, and a lot more setting specific.
So let's start.
Your name is Oma, a fairy. You are approximately ten inches tall. Average size for your people. You have short dark hair, and are dressed in a sleek set of spider-silk clothing. You are slender, and lovely, and have a very enchanting pair of burgundy eyes. You have a large pair of butterfly wings on your back that glitter with dark reds and blacks, and a good half dozen small spears dipped in a nasty paralytic poison that you use for defense.
Your main profession is hunter. It's your job to hunt and bring down various animals that might threaten the cities, or provide interesting objects. Most fairies prefer fruits and berries to eat, but they don't mind the occasional bit of meat should you manage to bring some back. You current best kill is a Shadow Panther that decided a city looked like a buffet. It learned quite quickly that it was a bad idea. Until it died, then it was just tasty. It's almost sad that the invisibility that it was capable of was tied to the panther, and not the fur.

Speedy Flight (top): Slow attacks cannot hit you, combined with your small size, you are a near impossible target to hit

Darting Strikes: You are one of the fastest of fairies, especially when attacking. You can move in and out without issue.
Poison Knowledge (Moderate): You know some more exotic poisons that your people favor. How to get them, and how to use them.
Death From Above: You know how to use the terrain to your advantage. Flight makes for some very fun angles of attack
Tracking: You can find near anything in the jungle if you wish it. Should you leave the jungle, you can take the time to retrain yourself to continue to gain this bonus in other areas.

Focus (Moderate) (Aware): You currently use this to let your sword cut things cleaner than what is normal.

4 sets of Spidersilk clothing
22 Poison Spears, Paralytic
2 Horns of Nausea Powder

Fairies border the Seven Shields. You wouldn't encounter them in the Necromancer thread, because they really don't leave it. Hound-People know of them. Picture small, annoying, flighty, women with attention deficts.Prospalz said:
Of course this isn't the whole story about them. It's just the first impression

Fairy (Female) - Tiny winged women, virtually unknown outside their home
[X] Resident of the Twisted Jungles (Dangerous, horrible place that no one wants to go to.)
Because Fairies have such Potential in story options.
Plus, being the first of her kind to go exploring the world means we have the potential to learn more about Lost Stars world from the perspective of one of its least I own inhabitants.

Champion would be an option. Right now I want a race. If you chose Hound-Person -> Resident of Seven Shields I would give you the option. Kinda trying to keep them low right now so you don't have overwhelming choices.Honda Tadakatsu said:

Lost Star, a question. How physically strong are Fairies? Are they like strong for there size, or strong like an ant?
What I mean is, does there strength scale with their size, or are they ridiculously strong and capable of doing things like beings ten times their size?

Why are so many people voting for us to be some random schmuck from Earth? I mean seriously 'Modern Human gets Transported to Fantasy Land' is just so... cliche.
They are stronger than their size would suggest, but they aren't super strong. They are about a foot tall, and can pick up a watermellon if they wanted to, and fly with it.Darik29 said:
Also added Horse Lords as a race to pick if you like.
Eh, Lost Star is good enough to make it work.Undead-Spaceman said:
As for my reason i wanted a true outsider perspective on the Universe because i find it very interesting.

Vizzi, if you want a true outsiders view, but one that Isn't from earth, try the Fae. If we become the first Fae to go wandering the world, we can learn about this world from the perspective of a native who has learned, literally, Nothing about the world. We could explore the world as an individual who is native, yet not actually aware of the rest of the world.
Plus, it prevents an Earth OC insert. Something I find rather annoying and distasteful, in all honesty.
