The darker side of faerie nature manifests in a changeling’s Unseelie Legacy. Being Unseelie is much more complex than just being evil or vile. Unseelie Kithain can be equally as noble and honourable as their Seelie brethren. The difference lies in their motives and methods.

You seek to conquer all that oppose you, destroying them if possible. Your world view is defined by those who bow to you and those who get eaten because they didn’t. To you, all exists at and for your pleasure. You play people off against each other, like chess pieces on a board, with no consideration for anyone’s needs but your own. You take what you want without asking, and you destroy those weaker than yourself for amusement.

Quest: Whenever you remove significant opposition to your goals, you regain Willpower.

Ban: Never retreat; never compromise your territory.

Like Pooh’s companion Eeyore, you have a less-than-optimistic view of the world. You expect things to go wrong, and you take a dark and sullen pleasure when you are proven right. Because everything is doomed to end disastrously, there is no reason to struggle. You have no hope for a bright future, but rather are resigned to inevitable gloom. You find comfort in your pessimism, because you know you’ll never be disappointed. Even when things turn out to have a happy ending, you know that it’s only a temporary illusion and the real disaster is undoubtedly following right behind.

Quest: Regain Willpower when your warnings for doom turn out to be correct.

Ban: Never laugh except in bitterness and sarcasm.

You are the divine trickster, the clown, the one who laughs last and loudest. Because you believe that there is no meaning in the world, no underlying reason for anything, you take great pleasure in spoiling people’s well-laid plans by sticking the proverbial monkey wrench in the works. You almost feel it a duty to play the agent of chaos, knocking others off their pedestals of dogma and making them eat their spouted words of honour and nobility. Sometimes you work for weeks, months or even years formulating your pranks, laying the foundation and setting the trap so that when your prey steps into it, they fall all the harder.

Quest: Regain Willpower whenever you manage to deflate the ego of someone you have labelled as self-righteous.

Ban: Never search for the “whys” behind your life; there are none.

You love disgusting others and go out of your way to push their buttons. You prey on the sensibilities of others, with a blush or a shocked gasp for your applause. The more extreme the reaction, the happier you are. You make it your life’s work to discover what upsets people and then inflict it upon them. A master of insults, you cut right to the heart, throwing out all propriety and etiquette in favour of shock value. Nothing is too low for you, from bodily noises to insulting someone’s mother.

Quest: Whenever you cause someone to falter or lose his composure, you regain Willpower.

Ban: Never display an overtly pleasant or appealing side of yourself.

With a sparkle in your eye, you cajole, encourage, tempt, trick and manipulate others into exploring their darkest desires. You are the pusher, the perverted, taking the sweet and turning it into the sordid. You see yourself as a teacher of sorts - you teach people what base and feral creatures they really are. There’s nothing you love more than to corrupt the innocent and do it with such panache that they often never even realise they’ve been compromised.

Quest: You regain Willpower whenever you cause someone to do something she would normally be opposed to and she enjoys it.

Ban: Never protect anyone from the harsh realities of life.

You look out at the world and see an ocean of mindless automatons that haven’t the slightest clue of what it’s all about. You believe it’s your duty to take advantage of them. How else are they ever going to learn? A thief and a cad, you take what you want from others without a moment’s hesitation or guilt. If your victims are stupid enough to be victims, then you see no reason not to use and abuse them. You feel no pity for people - they’ve made their own beds, and, by golly, they can lie in them.

Quest: Regain Willpower whenever you commit a completely selfish act that hurts someone.

Ban: Never do anything that helps others more than it hurts them or helps you in the long run.

Like Pandora, you just can’t seem to keep your box shut. You open your mouth and trouble flows from it in great crashing waves. You just can’t help yourself. You love to get someone in trouble by revealing their secrets for them. Furthermore, your curiosity often overcomes you, especially if you have been forbidden to go somewhere or do something. The more someone insists that you shouldn’t do something, the more it makes you want to do exactly that.

Quest: You regain Willpower whenever you survive something dangerous that you were strictly forbidden to do or warned against.

Ban: Never keep a secret; never obey an order.

You are the most attractive, smartest, best person in the world, and you want to make sure that everyone knows it. If you’re not the centre of attention, you’re not happy. As long as you are being heaped with praise and adulation, you’re the most gracious, modest-seeming person around, but as soon as attention is diverted from you, you become vicious. You are not above tantrums and fits of violence in order to draw others’ notice. Jealousy rules your choice of friends and enemies.

Quest: Whenever you conclusively prove that you are the best at something, you regain Willpower.

Ban: Never admit failure or fault.

You are a greedy sensualist, a miser, a glutton, an obsessive collector and a hoarder of experience. You care little for other people, except as objects to collect and use at your whim, pretty things to set around and provide you with pleasure. You revel in material gratification and show off your good taste at every opportunity. Sharing is not a word that you recognise, however. You flaunt what you own, be it the beautiful woman on your arm or the glittering diamond on your finger, but you would never consider giving a gift to anyone or helping the needy.

Quest: Regain Willpower whenever you succeed in your pursuit of pleasure.

Ban: Never give anything away without either hope of reward or a hard fight.

You are an enigma, the mystery that no one can figure out. You are in love with secrets and never give a truly straight answer to any question. You obscure everything in double entendres, mysterious terms and outright lies. You take joy in confusing and confounding others, satisfying your own need to feel that your intellect is superior to theirs. You are especially careful to shroud your own psyche in deepest mystery, and your greatest fear is that some one will learn what you’re really like.

Quest: Whenever you manage to confuse or mislead someone, you regain Willpower.

Ban: Never allow others to discover the truth about you or your origins.

You have your gang and you rule them with an iron fist. You work hard to build and strengthen your organisation, preaching loyalty and submission to the cause you embody. You will not stand for your law or authority to be undermined. While you understand that a group is more powerful than any one individual, you do not consider yourself equal to your band of followers. You are the head, and they are the arms and legs. They are your tools, and you use them at your whim to further your own goals.

Quest: Regain Willpower whenever you accomplish something as a direct result of the devotion of your followers.

Ban: Never allow any one person to endanger the whole of your organisation or your goals.

You don’t need to work; so many others out there can and will do the job for you. Others see you as a leech, but while they’re licking their wounds and cleaning their boots, you’re spending your share of the pot. All things considered, you prefer taking the path of least resistance. There’s always some gung-ho hero ready to leap to the fore and do all the dirty work. Why not let him? And so what if you’re there with your hand out when it’s time to reap the reward. You didn’t ask that guy to do it; you just didn’t offer to help.

Quest: Whenever you achieve something that you do not really deserve, you regain Willpower.

Ban: Never work.

For you, the only viable way to live is like the animals in the forest, eating what you can catch, mating when the urge strikes, and fighting to establish superiority. Everything else is senseless. Civilised conversation, etiquette and technology - wastes of time. Modern inventions only distract you from your true nature, and keep you from satisfying the instincts that burn in your soul. You long for a return to the days of primal self-indulgence and the law of nature. In the meantime, you just live your life as if they were already here, feral and proud of it.

Quest: Regain Willpower whenever you conquer “civilised” foes through your own cunning and might.

Ban: Never indulge in civilised folly.

You have no positive self-image, and assume that everyone else hates you as much as you hate yourself. Perhaps you are the wallflower who never gets asked to dance or the loser who was never invited to birthday parties; regardless, you believe that everyone hates you and that you are a pitiful outcast. Sometimes you seek pity and aid from others. Other times you seek to punish them for their pity and aid, being especially hard on anyone that shows you compassion and caring.

Quest: Whenever other vilify you as worthless or throw up their hands in despair of ever getting through to you, you regain Willpower.

Ban: Never admit to success.
