deadmaeName: Maedoc (Mae)
Canon: Original
Age: Ancient
Once upon a time, Maedoc was a fairy (fae, fairie, one of the fair folk). Complete with wings, Mae has been around since at least the 1450s, or that's when he first started playing around with the human folk. He could be much older and kept himself to the woods for the previous years of his life. He was most active during the Victorian Era.
Maedoc made a rather happily dismal life of "seducing" humans into whatever amused him, be it paintings, madness, wars (he only ever started small ones), or general chaos. His tastes have changed with age, and now he's into subtler madness and devotion, which he find relatively easy to eke out of humans. Since the 1880s, he’s been heavily into artists, playing the muse and usually ruining people when he decides to leave. Those who tried to leave him before Mae decided to leave? He made certain they regretted it.
Most recently (the twenty first century), Maedoc had been with an artist by the name of Cecil, a man who intrigued Maedoc because of his old celtic name, and he knew the fae existed, or used to believe that they did. With this small crack into Cecil's mind. Maedoc pried his way in, very content to become the artist's Muse and bask in the attentions to come. Maedoc happily consumed most of Cecil's time, driving away his friends and relatives so he could be the utmost important thing in Cecil's life.
Then, as always, Maedoc became bored. Or, perhaps, he chose the height of Cecil's obsession to leave to create more turmoil. After all, what would be the point and fun in leaving if Cecil didn’t want him around? After delivering a dramatic farewell to shred anyone's heart, Maedoc tried to leave Cecil (alternatively Carson, name unsure).
When he turned to leave, Carson grabbed his wings and ripped them off.
What happens when a fae loses their wings (or whatever the equivalent is)? The question itself has many answers. The Fae loses their magic, making them almost-mortal. This released magic also has to go somewhere, and it often goes to fulfilling the killer's wish, which is often that the fae die. This leads to the conception that the removal of wings results in a dead fairy. It is the only way to kill one, after all (or almost the only way, but lets not get into that).
Carson wished for Maedoc to stay. So, Maedoc stayed. At first, Maedoc tried to go back to the woods and recover, but his kin found him wingless and turned him out, marking him as an outcast with each of their personal insignia, something normally only done to a Fae’s human mark. Now branded as something horrific he didn't even have a name for, Maedoc was forced to go back to Carson. He had nowhere else to go.
Maedoc then went through the slow, slow process of turning mortal (or almost mortal). His glamour over Carson had broken with the release of his magic, but Carson was actually fond of his fae friend and also guilty, thinking he had killed Maedoc and it was just taking him a very long time to die.
After a very long, very stressful, possibly maddening process and six months, Maedoc settled into an almost-mortal state. Physically, at least.
