Species Profile

Satyr

Satyrs are ancient supernatural beings rooted in wild magic and primal revelry. Often mistaken for mere figures of Greek myth, satyrs are very much alive in the modern world—blending into society while maintaining deep ties to nature, music, and chaos. Beneath their charming exteriors lies an untamed spirit connected to the earth itself.

Though they've adapted to urban life, satyrs remain creatures of instinct and impulse, drawn to celebration, creative expression, and the wild places that still exist at the edges of civilization. Their presence tends to stir emotions in those around them, making them natural entertainers, provocateurs, and occasionally, trouble.

Physical Characteristics

In their true form, satyrs display cloven hooves, small curved horns, pointed ears, and legs covered in coarse fur from the knee down. Most use glamors or sigil tattoos to pass as human, though their builds tend toward lean and wiry. Their eyes often carry an amber or golden hue that can be difficult to fully conceal.

Culture & Society

Satyrs are social creatures who gather in loose, nomadic groups called revels. Leadership is informal, typically falling to the most charismatic or musically gifted among them. They value personal freedom above all else and have a deep cultural aversion to confinement or obligation. Many gravitate toward careers in music, bartending, event planning, or any profession that keeps them close to crowds and celebration.

Powers & Abilities

Satyrs possess nature affinity, allowing them to accelerate plant growth, communicate with animals, and sense disturbances in natural environments. Their most notable ability is emotional influence—a subtle, passive aura that heightens the emotions of those nearby, amplifying joy, desire, or unease depending on the satyr's mood. Skilled satyrs can focus this into deliberate persuasion through music or speech. They also have enhanced stamina, agility, and remarkably quick healing when in contact with natural earth.

Additional Information

Satyrs are beings of wild magic and revelry whose untamed connection to the natural world makes them as unpredictable as they are magnetic—beloved by some and distrusted by many.
