The Fey are often considered a bit "mad" (well, most elves are so considered) and like pixies seem to have no fear of danger. However, the Fey tend to be less "sporty" than the pixies and do not court danger for the thrill of it but rather because their goals and beliefs lead them to it. They always have a mission and purpose to what they do. These are perhaps the most serious of elves and are utterly devoted and dedicated to whatever vision guides them.

Modern Fey have changed little from their ancient natures. These folks are the least likely to even bother calling thems'elves elfin, since such cultural trappings are seldom important to them. The only thing that matters in their mind is the "action" they are currently involved in... to help, alter, save or transform the world of some part of it.
These folks tend to be so fanatical at times that we suspect they may have evolved from elves who were raped by viking beserkers. They are consumed with "the world" but because their motives are pure and their principles sound and their desire to "help" so genuine, we cannot help but embrace them.
