A Human's Guide To Being Owned

You have been claimed by a Fae. A Fae is a supernatural creature with powers that humans do not have. As a human you are required to do whatever is instructed at all times by your master. You are to adhere to these rules at all times and not to deviate from them for any reason even at the cost of your life. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in punishment of varying severity depending on the offense. Your first priority is to obtain a 'collar' stating you have been claimed. This collar is to be worn around the neck and it signifies what Fae owns you and the clan in which they belong to. There are two types of clan. Light and Dark.

Is being owned by light fae better than dark?

While light Fae are considered "better" than dark, they still consider humans as chattel. Meaning you are their property. Other Fae cannot harm you without consequence. However it is advisable to be polite to any and all fae. Your master has absolute control over your life and can sell you on a whim. Therefore, it is best to be polite to any and all fae you come across. It would be not in your best interest to be rude to, say, a dark fae. Because that dark fae may someday be your new master. Whenever your master enters, you are to bow and show absolute respect. It is best to take note that being owned by a light fae does not mean your life will be easier. Just because they are light does not mean they will treat you 'kinder.'

A light fae, say a siren or a nymph can be cruel to their 'pets.' Being owned by light does not mean an easier life. The same goes for a dark fae. If you are owned by a dark, it does not mean your life will be horrid. A dark fae may treat you with absolute love and kindness as some humans do to their own pets. Even so much as to grieve when your lifespan reaches its end.

Housing/Meals

You will generally be kept in an area away from 'free humans.' While not caged, you may be locked in your living quarters whilst not in service. Some fae keep their pets locked for their own safety and to keep them from being stolen by other fae. A good fae master will try and make your living quarters home like as much as possible. Your master will make sure you are well fed. Meals will be kept in your home and you are responsible for preparing them yourself.

You will be free to enter and exit the Light Fae Compound/Dark Fae compound as long as you are wearing your proper collar. Light Fae will be tolerant of your presence. Dark Fae will not. Your master will make sure no harm comes to you from a dark fae. Your master may enter your home at will and whatever time they desire.

Other Rules

There are other rules, you the human, must adhere to if you wish to survive. Failure to follow these rules will result in punishment ranging from confinement, to death depending on the situation.

ANY fae for ANY reason, save for you master's defense, is punishable by death. You kill a fae, by accident, or purpose regardless of being light or dark, you are to be put to death. If the resulting death of the fae prevents the death of your master, then you are pardoned from your sentence.

2. You are NOT to assist ANY fae regardless of alignment. Assisting a dark will result in your possible death. Assisting a light, will result in punishment of any degree depending on your master's choice.

3. You may not under any circumstances, claim a fae. This is punishable by death for you and the fae that allowed it. Humans are not to be in a relationship with fae.

4. The Ash has final say over a pet's life. Even above their master. If the Ash wishes to end your life for whatever reason, your master, no matter if they care for you or not, are powerless to prevent it. Some crueler Ash's have forced fae under their jurisdiction to kill their beloved pets. This is a rare occurance and part of the reason why some fae tend to be distant from their pets.

5. Above all else, an Ash's requests MUST be followed at all times.

6. Above the Ash, is the fae council. They are supreme and hold sway over all fae life in their jurisdiction. Even the Ash must submit to their rule.

7. A human is required to be respectful of the Dark Fae's council as well. While they may not hold sway over a light fae's pet, this can change if the light fae decides to sell his/her pet to the dark.

Other

Remember your place at all times. Do not think you are above fae or their equal. Humans have no real place amongst the fae and they are considered chattel/property at best. Do as requested when requested and you may survive depending on your master's whims. You exist only because your master wishes it to be so. Also, remember the chain of command. By remembering the chain of command, will help you in your survival.

Fae Council: Made up of fae elders. These fae may be the oldest and most powerful of fae in their alignment. They hold sway over ALL life in their territory.

Ash/Morrigan: These fae make up the rulers of the light and dark. Ash is light and Morrigan is dark. These fae, as long as they own you have control over your life. *a dark fae leader cannot kill an owned human with out cause.* and if done, they must pay the human's worth as discussed upon between two parties involved.

Fae: Your master. You will adhere to their instructions at all times and not deviate from them for any reason. They own you, and your life

Human: you. A mere pet. You are weak and feeble and therefore should consider being owned by a fae a privilege and an honor.

Follow these guidelines and you just might survive
