Session 1: A Childer Is Born

You feel a tingle up your spine. The world of fae ... usually, for you, a web of dream-meetings and insipid Internet camaraderie ... jostles around you. Your "spidey senses" let you know there's one more fairy in Chattanooga this evening.
A new changeling is born.

The Chrysalis, as it's known, isn't a real birth. It's more like the Christians say: "Unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
When changelings undergo their Chrysalis, they are born into a new life, though they do not leave their old one behind. Still trapped (most of the time) in their human form, they can now "see" the kingdom of fae all around them:

• Their fellow changelings in strangers' faces
• The faint tracings of ley lines on the ground
• The glamour, radiating like an aura, from the fingers of a street musician or sidewalk-chalk artist
• The thrill of magic as they realize they can cast cantrips ... most tiny illusions, but some eerily powerful ... from leaping to the top of a telephone pole to seeing the future

Now, today, you know there's a new changeling in Chattanooga. Suddenly, he sees.
And, he's seen.
Lots of other beings can perceive changeling magic besides changelings. A mage could sense him. A werewolf might catch a scent. More likely, the Bully Boys who make it their job to crack down on "perverts" of any stripe might show up at his school or hood.
Not only that, he's been handed a passel of magic, and he's just a newbie. What will he do with it? Will he be a good neighbor? If changelings are mortals' dreams, what kind of dream is he? A daydream ... or a nightmare?
You have to find out.
You get on your scooter ... or your chimerical white pony ... or your brand-new Harley or used Nissan ... and head to his neighborhood to investigate. To protect him ... to co-opt him ... to satisfy your curiosity ... to celebrate ... and, just maybe, to protect yourself.

Character hook: In the responses below, introduce yourself and your fae beginning! What was your Chrysalis like? How old were you? How have you changed? How has your life stayed the same? As you hurry to meet this new fairy, what's going through your mind?
