(Copy and paste the questions and answers from character generation here.)

As a boy, Selgaer and his twin brother were exploring the woods, when they got lost. A group of fae found them and brought them to the Hidden Worlds. Years passed. Sel was trained for the hunt by the Fae, learning bow and arrow, how to track, and to remove the skin and carve the meat. Bel was taken to the Court and taught etiquette and procedure. Sel was in and out of the Fae realm, often travelling back into the mortal world for the hunt.

Their time spent in the fae realm changed them. Sel's brother changed much more dramatically than he did. Bel grew long curved horns on his temples, and his legs became covered in fur ending in goat hooves. Sel's feet changed into hooves and he grew small nubs of horns under his hair.

As they grew, Sel watched his brother change more and more. He watched his brother become ridiculed, laughed at, teased. His kind - whatever he was now - were not treated well by the Fae. Sel was lucky enough to be gone most of the time, but his brother was around it constantly. It was time to get them out. Sel spent the new few months planning their escape. It worked. They escaped.

The two set off into the world. They avoided other people, especially the Fae, for some weeks. But Bell missed the Court. He missed people. Sel was content to live off the land, but eventually Bel convinced him that they needed to find a more permanent home.

Bel's words made Sel curious - what was the mortal world like? He barely remembers it from his youth - parents, a house, a small town, children laughing. Sel found a town and wanted to spend at least a month just watching it from the outskirts, but Bel convinced them to head in within a week.

While he wasn't received with open arms, he also wasn't chased off right away. That was good. He wondered the town just watching the people go this way and that, hammering on steel or working with wood. So this is normal life, huh? Bel, on the other hand, was in love. In love with the sounds of the city. Of people working and laughing and arguing. All of it. Despite the way he was treated, Bel actually enjoyed the court; he enjoyed being around others. Sel wasn't so sure about all that.

Sel found a place to stay and paid for it by trading meats and furs. Soon, his reputation as a hunter grew and he was hired by a young nobleman to guide a hunt. He was sure Bel had more than a little to do with that. Over the next few years, Bel made contacts and talked his way into the life of the Rich and Wealthy, and managed to get Sel a lot of work as a guide and a hunter.

The two of them as a team made a lot of money. They bought a manor, hired servants, and were living the life. Food, drink, women; everyday spent riding or hunting or planning. It was the life.

Lifestyle: Rich.
