An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.
The Striders are humanoid fae with pale yellow to tan skin. They are tall lithe relatives of the Satyrs with long curved horns; long thin tails tipped with long fluffy masses of fur. They have long fur around their neck that flows down around their chest, upper back, and shoulders. The Striders generally are androgenous either lacking a gender entirely or having no. They have white hair and long pointed ears like a lemur.
Striders embody the Fae Dance which moves all that is Fae. The Rhythm is set by the beating of Viilnor’s heart, they are unimaginably flexible and agile moving through space in a constant dance bypassing obstacles with ease and fitting through spaces they shouldn’t fit by. Their dancing can manipulate reality instilling their ideals on the reality around them.
Striders are artists, dancers, entertainers, hosts, and masters of ceremony. Striders bow only to the Queens.
Like most Fae Striders are eternal and if their mortal body is destroyed, they will reappear at their designated bed. They never age and remain appearing as fresh adults, or whatever age they choose to appear as. They are highly vulnerable to Iron. Striders are slaves to the rhythm, slaves to music, unable to contain their motions. Music twists their emotions and will as easily as they change reality to their whims.
