Folks, my character, named Myrrh...

...is a satyr.

"The satyr is a fey creature. Satyrs have the legs and horns of a goat, but otherwise look human. They can play magical tunes on their pan pipes that cause varying effects as decided by the satyr. Satyrs are hedonistic creatures that frolic in the wild places of the world, and they dwell in temperate forests."

Look, here's a picture of a satyr!

Myrrh is NOT a demon. Just because the satyr skin is used in the Abyss does not mean Myrrh is a "foul creature". In fact, it's quite the opposite. Myrrh is a joyous fey creature with little interest in spreading evil deeds. (Not to be confused with 'seeds', since he actually loves doing that...)

Only rarely do I meet characters that are aware of this and it is making the education system of Amia seem extremely sub-par.

When you assume he is a deadly creature of vile origin, Myrrh will not try to understand and explain it to you calmly. Instead, he makes fun of you then plays with your "simple mind" by pretending to come after you. Blame it on the CN alignment.

Thank you.

Everywhere I go, people point at Myrrh and yell, "DEMON!"

At first it was like o.O well, okay. But now it's really old and fuckin annoying at this point. Can't get any RP done with people walking up to me and the woman I'm am trying to woo with their sword drawn, saying, "Get back, lady, that is a dangerous creature!!"

*eye roll of epic proportions*

Satyrs are not exactly common.

I approve of fearing the strange and the unknown on Amia. Its refreshing.

I don't think the average humanoid creature in Faerun actually see the difference - They see a half goat/half humanoid thing with horns. The most obvious interpretation of the situation is to shout 'Demon!'.

This is, As silvarus pointed out, refreshing to see - Instead of having the 'Moment 22 shifter issue' where everybody knows that a dragon on the road is a Shifter and thus ignores a fantastic and REALISTIC RP opportunity to run and flee, or do the brave thing and charge the hideous reptile!

Horns...cloven feet, looks like a demon to me. I doubt the average adventurer has the Feynomicon handy. Best to just assume and kill it. Same goes for anything non-standard :D
