The Water Sidhe
They have pale skin with possibly a hint of blue, a colour they favour in their choice of garments, mixing various shades together with hues of green in layered but lightweight clothes which will not hinder their movements if they take to the water. (no photo's available)
The Courts
The majority of Faeries that you will meet on the Shards are part of the Courts and when others talk of the Fae, it is these people to whom they usually refer.
When thinking about playing the Fae, you should remember that these are the fantasy elves. For preference they like to dress in bright colours, with the nobility choosing light, airy fabrics.
Women wear long gowns and skirts, decorated with beads and leaves or anything pretty and sparkly.
Hair may be similarly dressed.
Men favour tunics, shirts and waistcoats and a dashing cloak.
Of course, practicality may act to curtail the Fae's natural tendency for high fashion, with more practical clothing being worn as required.
Characterised by pointy ears - unless they choose to disguise them - the Fae love anything shiney. Weapons are typified by bows, broadswords and shields.
Fae never use black power weapons and some of them are very much opposed to them being brought onto Faerie.
The Fomorii
Fomorii can be identified by their markings, a broad black stripe painted across their eyes, they normally dress in drab washed out colours and spend little time on their appearance.
Garments are often unfinished and cobbled together from whatever they have been able to lay their hands on.
In a fight they will happily use whatever weapons they can lay their hands on, from satchel charges to swords... They have no issues with black power weapons and specialise in coming up with innovative designs for such.
McUens
McUens dress simply, with tartan being the prevalent fashion worn either as a kilt, sash or trews.
When entering into battle, they prefer to fight bare chested sporting intricate Celtic designs in woad on their flesh. They have an eye for big weapons, be that great axes, hammers or swords.
They rarely carry shields since defence is for the weak and they are more likely to attack first and ask questions later.
The Atlanteans
The Atlanteans wear dress and armour in the style of ancient Romans.
