Faun ~ drunken goats

[Varos Talantos]

Faun Overview Half goat, half human creatures with the bottom half being a goat but also in the possession of horns. They tend to be quite short, reaching the height of a twelve year old human child in their full maturity. They mature much quicker though, within a year, and being considered full adults at 3. Sometimes they are mistakenly called Satyrs, but many do not truly care much upon the slip-up. It is believed Fauns inspired fear in those traveling in lonely, remote or wild places. They were also capable of guiding people in need, if it felt so inclined. They tend to be deceiving and tricky creatures, they are cunning, and if one is not careful a Faun may get them into more trouble than they previously were- perhaps leading you to the mouth of the cave of some deadly creature. Fauns are native to the world of Nysa, not Earth, albeit some bravely wander through the portal to get there. They live in large groups, mostly in the plains and forests of Nysa, but some in the northern tundra and eastern desert, in roughly constructed villages or the ruins of more ancient ones. Horns are revered among fauns, and would grow with age. Those with larger, almost ram-like horns were considered more powerful, while young fauns and those with short stubby horns were treated as lesser. It is hard to determine a faun’s age, for they appear youthful even once centuries old, and live up to 500 years. The other difference is that the faun’s hair will still go white once in the later centuries, despite their babyish face. They are music lovers, and a personal favorite among most fauns is the pan flute. Most fauns tend to also possess a fear of fire, for they are quite vulnerable to it and it is one of their greatest weaknesses. Fauns are know to live up to 500 years old. Innate Abilities Fauns have a natural aptitude for casting 'Illusion'. Fauns also have the unique ability to summon a companion, known as an 'Imp Summoning'. This imp, who comes in the form of a strange little man with a face for a mask, giving fauns an extra pair of eyes, as they can both control and see through the creature. This is particularly useful for spying and tricks, as the imp could turn invisible and be controlled for distances up to seven miles. Imps have the ability to teleport, but if they step out of the seven mile boundary the spell is broken. Different imps also have different abilities. Hell Imps can shoot small balls of fire. Earth Imps emit a lightly poisonous gas that can cause sickness or even death in overexposure. Celestial Imps can make small balls of explosive lights. Although just as mischievous as their summoners, Fauns can completely control the imp, but only have one.  Strength – 5- 25 Speed – 6- 30 Intelligence - 4- 20 Endurance – 6-35 Agility - 4- 20 For more information on stats, view our stat page.
