Editing Satyr

'''Satyrs''' are [[Others]], some of those seen were created by [[Dionysus]] and are partially divine, others come from more diverse origins with their own traits. They remain under the god's care or that of his [[Cult of Dionysus|cultists]]. Creatures of sexuality, fertility, and animal instincts, satyrs could take in these traits to be lighthearted and simple, warm sources of raw affection.

They are roughly the male equivalent to [[Nymphs]], and both are noted to be kind to "innocents".

==Appearances==
Satyrs can take many guises though this is natural ability and not the result of [[glamour]], usually, it will be as men in the prime of age and health, flirtatious and honest in their interest in the 'fairer' sex.<ref name=>Some would kill you.  Others would be like the satyrs.  Creatures of sexuality, fertility, and animal instincts.  Satyrs could take in these traits to be lighthearted and simple, warm sources of raw affection.<br>[...]<br>In downtown Toronto, the satyrs took different shapes.  Even there, they were different from their usual.  Where they might be handsome, flirty young men in their teens and twenties, unabashed in their attraction to any woman they saw on the street, they now looked like the sorts one might cross the street to avoid.  Not because they were large, but because of the menace they radiated.<br>[...]<br>Satyrs, boys and men, smiled up at her, some reaching out, as if she’d fall into their arms.  The fur on their legs was soft, the curls of chest hair and chin-scruff inviting.<br>[...]<br>The nymphs were what the satyrs were, in a way, holding to an ancient ideal of womanhood and female sexuality as the satyrs held to manhood and male sexuality. There were differences, but the simple description served. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/03/01 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3]]</ref>

When appearing as they are it will be as a combination of goat and man.
==Notable Examples==
* [[Ibix Siblings]]
* [[Blackhorne]]<ref>Blackhorne came at her from the shadows, a massive, musclebound creature with great horns, relative to satyr, called a deuadai instead, more savage and strong than lustful and feral.<br><br>
Though he ''was'' lustful.  He ''was'' feral.  He was more of a lot of things. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/07/31 Excerpt] from [[False Moves 12.z]]</ref> (deuadia)

==Trivia==
* [[Wikipedia:Satyr|Satyrs]] can be traced back through Indoeuropean mythologies and fall roughly into the larger archetype of the "[[Wikipedia:Wildman of the Woods|Wild Men of the Woods]]". These Wilders are not strictly goat men, usually having some form of traits other than the goat, properly called Fauns. Common traits include a connection to nature and fertility includes things like Lust, debauchery and violence as these are all part of nature.
