Today someone asked me if there were any male faeries in the game, and while I told them no to the best of my knowledge (I'm still leveling SCH) I thought it was nice idea. They could give it to us as a third faerie through the Summon III ability (although I'll not try to suggest what role a third faerie should fill). Or I figured you could possibly make it work through the "Egi Glamour" system that's currently in the works for Summoner.
Either way would be fine with me. As much as I love Eos and Selene, I just thought it might be nice to have a male faerie option as well. Perhaps he could be named Helios, since he was the brother of Selene and Eos in Greek mythology. What do you all think? Anyone else like this idea?
Could we please get a male faerie for Scholar?

I've kind of -embraced- the fact that my fairies will be really feminine.

It's a good thought, though I'd doubt they'd name him Helios as that's the Astrologians AOE heal :P

There's only one faerie a scholar has. Lily. Lily has two sides if the coin to her, like day and night.
So it's not as if there's a reason (yet) a male-like faerie would appear. -

Well there is a male god for dusk i think, Selene is the moon goddess while Eos is the goddess of the dawn, maybe in 4.0 we'll get a male who switches from Helios to the dusk god

Another Glamour thread focusing on Carbuncles in Response to the Egi-System
What kills me is when people bring up that Lilly can only appear one way. Fairies are very sensitive with illusion magic (Think of why they are able to see through and Dispel the Magic of the Demon in the level 60 SCH quest.)
Glamour
Can make a lady seem a knight,
A nut shell seem a gilded barge
A sheeling seem a palace large
And youth seem age and age seem youth
All was illusion, nought was truth.
-Reginald Scot, The Lay of the Last Minstrel
The magic of the faeries, sometimes called ‘glamour’, is seen to be the art of illusions,
movement, shape changing and enchantments. While it mostly used in the legends that told of the
'noble' faeries, some of the household faeries and wild faeries were said to possess it and to be able
to perform some minor tricks with it. A good example of this is a tale in which a mischievous pooka
makes a woman lose her way in a forest by making a path disappear from her sight.
According to different tales, the use of glamour is not restricted to simple illusions or tricks: in
many tales whole castles are built and with glamour. More commonly faeries use glamour to create
their magnificent clothes and jewels or to make themselves more beautiful.
-Quoted from "Faerie Folklore in Medieval Tales – an Introduction"
Also, fairies are aether made form; we could change their shape at will. On top of that, Astral and Umbral Magic, which eos and selene are composed of, can easily fit in the shadows and light, smoke and mirrors concept.
If SE wants to give it to us, they have lots of lore based venues to go with.
My overall desire is:
ACNs all get Carby Glamours (SCH, SMN, ACN) since this is unlikely to add much strain to the developers.
SMN has all of their Glamours released over the course of a few patches
Lilly is given color palette options after the last SMN glamour is released.
Then the Developing team can decide if alternative fairy glamours would be possible. -

Selene, however, was a daughter of a Titan, not one herself. Instead Selene actually was the goddess of the moon.Quote:

Both of you could be doing mounds of research, but if you both find similar info with 1 obscure detail are you both right or both wrong, no one knows, thats the, mystery, of mythology. Anyways I myself never heard of any of them being titans just gods or goddesses, so I am curious where the info comes from.Quote:

I'd love the idea of a dark male fairy based on debuffing skills. But for it to be viable, we need sch to switch fairies more easily. Maybe with a new skill in 4.0, who knows...

Yeah, maybe an offensive fairy. Ofc not as much as a smn pet but really oriented offensive.^^

The male fairy would just be a guy in a leotard with a noticeable bulge thrusting in the general direction of whoever needs a heal.

05-02-2016, 10:56 PMPowewait, I thought Helios, Selene and Eos where siblings right? wouldn't that make them all titans then?Quote:

Not saying anyone is wrong or right, but mythology is littered with numerous inaccuracies, it would just be nice to see where people found certain little known facts or not.Quote:

Anyway I got most of my info from Rick Riodan stuff and a few mythology books. My first post talking about eos and her siblings had a typo, meant to say titan instead of god and goddess.Quote:

I think i see a bit of where the confusion lies. In our modern times we automatically think of, at least in greek culture, deities like Zeus, Hera, etc are gods/goddesses, which while that is true they are Olympians. Gods/Goddesses are a generic term, remember in mythology Zeus's father is a titan. So all titans/titanesses are god/goddesses but not all gods/goddesses are titans. So to clarify, calling Selene, Eos, and Helios a Titan or a god is fine, just don't call them an Olympian.

05-03-2016, 06:07 AMMiyhaJust replying here to say this: based on the most recent replies, looks like people DID do their research, buddy-o-pal. And you may be the one who needs to do some catching up. ;> (Sorry, the know-it-all syndrome gets to me.)Quote:

I could see a male fairy happen.
It wouldn't be a variation of lily, but what if we managed to find a new fairy. He's out there in the world, lost and alone, just waiting for us to find him. -

For anyone familiar with the Berserk manga series, remember that male fairy that would follow you around in the Dreamcast game?
His name was Puck.
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...16039547a5.jpg
And when he'd over react to something he'd turn into the fat form of himself. http://45.media.tumblr.com/0341bca7b...sz53o1_500.gif -

They could give SCH male versions of Eos and Selene?
-
05-06-2016, 02:49 AMRawrz
They could add another fairy then rebalance the fairies again, but I'd rather they not do that. Giving Selene an aoe instead of silent dusk (lol I wish) and the option to glamour your fairy into carbuncles, pallete swap versions of eos and selene, or a male version would be more than enough options.
-
05-06-2016, 03:23 AMLlynd
Yup indeed rawrz, or maybe a little DoT or a shield for all the party would be way better than silent dusk haha. But yeah they are currently on the smn's pet so we gotta wait a long time before they are on fairies.
(SE really do no care much about sch tbh, by the time we have useless Intel traits and Dissipation...)
