Gentry

Each True Fae has its own page where they are described in deeper detail, with information about who they are, where they exist and how they work, links to plots which reference them or, more likely, their minions.

If you edit this page to add your Keeper, at the very bottom is a template which you can copy/paste and fill out that will add it to the list.

Further, if you want to create a page for your Keeper, just put the name into the box below and it will give you a template to start with.

• Common Creations - Archetypes and Insects: Many of the Noemata's creations personify a tarot card, both the major and minor arcana of equal importance. Many, instead, are the beetles which flitter about the Seventy-Eight Steps, most of which are glittering blue-green or otherwise jewel-toned.

• Preferred Victims - Prudes and Hedonists: Milk attracts the wholesome, the pure, while Honey draws in the decadent, the indulgent.
• Common Creations - Abnormally Moral: Those who escape Milk and Honey's sweet torment tend to be either excessively strict in their morality, having repeatedly experienced the dangers of indulgence, or extremely loose in their morality, having lived too long with the lines between good and bad blurred into nonexistence.

• Methodology - Tedious Drudgery: Paperwork, accounting, filing. Census taking and collating data. Exciting stuff.
• Preferred Victims - Drudges: He selects those who excel at being cogs in the wheel of bureacracy and office work. Detail oriented, middle-management types. Government officials. He largely takes those who do not have many ties in the world, the ones that won't be missed.
• Common Creations - Admins: Almost exclusively, those that come out of the Tally Man's domain are Wizened.

• Methodology - Keep what you Kill: If you can take something from someone they must not have wanted it very badly to leave it so very unprotected. Often includes raids on other Gentry.

• Preferred Victims - Passion/Dispassion: Those whose fire burns bright, or whose chill calm is their strength.

• Preferred Victims - Shy & Unwanted: For the Players that make up the bulk of those there, anything goes. They're the ones scavenged from other Gentry.
• Common Creations - Players & Bibliographers: The Librarian actually takes few people itself and only when there is a need for someone to work in The Library and a good candidate presents themselves.

• Preferred Victims - The Stereotypically Engrossing: Policemen two days away from retiring, thieves with hearts of gold, troubled youths. Anyone who looks like the go-to source of drama in the media attracts her attention, be they actually interesting or not.
• Common Creations - Heroes & Villains: Beasts, Darklings and Ogres are almost exclusively villains because they look what one would expect monsters to look like, whereas Fairest are almost always protagonists, leading armies and fighting their wretched counterparts.

• Preferred Victims - Indiscriminate Selection: Employing roving bands of Loyalists, most victims are simply kidnapped from wherever and however might be convenient. Almost anyone who is in the wrong place at the wrong time might be snatched up.
• Common Creations - The Strong Survive: Any Seeming might come out of the teeming streets though many are flavored by an anime level of Asian influence with a blending of folklore and action movie tropes.
• Allies - Small roving gangs of Loyalist "recruiters" of various types.

The Diva

• Creator - Player: Angelique
• Activity - Local : North-eastern US, and the eastern region of Canada, from the late nineteenth century.
• Realm - The Grand Theatre: The glittering stage, the ballrooms that surround it and the endless, endless maze of back halls, The Grand Theatre seems like it should be small, and yet it is the whole world when it needs to be.
• Methodology - The Performance: All his world is a stage, and we but players. Bit players. Those drawn into The Grand Theatre will never be the star, but they will be cast in less desirous roles, where there's no such thing as stage blood, where stories twist in horrifying ways, and where everyone's job is to make The Diva look good, or function as arm candy, stagehands or bodyguards. Never, ever outshine him or he will spare no effort to make sure no one can look upon you without shuddering again.
• Preferred Victims - Theatre People: The Diva tends to go after those who are drawn to the theatre, or those who show some particular aptitude for what he needs. Actors and actresses are common victims, but so are those who might serve him in other manners, and on occasion, he'll simply snatch some particularly pretty face that catches his eye.
• Common Creations - Pretty or Crafty: Fairests, Ogres and the Wisened are by far the most common Seemings The Diva seems to create, filling the roles of either other actors or helpers, but there is room in his theatre for all comers. Those who upstage him, however, are always turned into the most horrific things he can imagine.

• Realm - Insert Realm Name: The Grand Stage: A place that looks like, at first, an abandoned theater house, but then changes and transforms to suit the needs of the story being played out with those captured as the characters of the story.
• Methodology - Thrice Upon a Time: Those that find their way to the Grand Stage soon discover that they are characters in what might have been a familiar story, but soon discover the horrific changes in the tale. Things are twisted, perverted, made unfamiliar, all while one begins to question their own identities and become more of a twisted archetype.
• Preferred Victims - Stories within: The Chronicler of Lies has an interest in modifying Its stories, and to do so, it "borrows" anyone and everyone. It's most attracted most to those that loves reading, writing, and any other artistic expression where someone is trying to tell a story through their medium.
• Common Creations - The Role: All Seemings welcomed. Those escapees tend to be dual or triple kith--as one begins to transform into their (His) main archetype, they take on multiple qualities that best resemble the role they were meant to be

The Baroness

• Creator - Player: Valerie
• Activity - Worldwide: Her minions will take likely people from all over the globe.
• Realm - Endless Castle: This castle resembles one from a millennium ago in England, but it goes deep underground. On the surface it’s lovely, with parties and feasts held frequently, but underground...there’s nothing but pain.
• Methodology - Endless Feast: The Baroness expects near constant feasts and parties. For her favorites they attend the parties. Those less preferred, who either are not up to her standards or show reluctance to party, are servants. There are a few, though, who serve as mystical whipping boys for her favored few, for the Baroness tolerates no disrespect and punishes harshly.
