==Kith Notes== [[File:RedcapArt.jpg|350px|left|link=]] ===Appearance=== Redcaps come in all shapes and sizes, but all share the same gray, rubbery skin, blood-shot eyes and yellowing, uneven teeth. Their bodies are often thick, with stocky shoulders and legs. And who can forget their signature mouth, full of blood-red gums and razor-sharp teeth, ready to rip apart flesh and grind bone? Redcaps dress in rough and ready clothing, and always sport a splash of that terrifying red in their wardrobe. ===Lifestyles=== Anything tough and dangerous is a good job for a redcap. Many live and work in the worst parts of cities, and stick with their corbies for maximum terror in one place. Redcaps look for work anywhere they can throw a couple of elbows and create mayhem, as bouncers, private security, gang members, and hired muscle. The Unseelie pays well for leg breakers and, though it’s not an exclusive arrangement, many redcaps survive thanks to busting heads for the Unseelie. ===Seemings=== ====Childlings==== Redcap childlings are the horrible tiny terrors, the young misanthropes that try and gross out the other kids by eating something they shouldn’t. While a childling, a redcap learns just how far she can push her luck before both mortals and fae alike get angry. She also learns the most important lesson: nobody trusts a redcap, and so she can trust no one in return. These childlings often delight in picking on other Kithain to test them, seeing how much they can take before being utterly disgusted or terrified. ====Wilders==== Once the relative innocence of the childling period wears off, a redcap who has come into her wilder years is a nightmare in the making. Redcap wilders come together to build up their gangs and start to raise hell. These redcaps graduate from antics that push the borders of good behavior right into horrifying acts of violence and distaste. Whatever place the redcap has carved out for herself in fae society will be tested here, and she rebels, attacks, and destroys unless contained, curtailed, or defeated. ====Grumps==== A veteran redcap who survives long enough to become a grump is either a respected member of the community or a nightmare given form. A grump’s den is littered with whatever she couldn’t be bothered to consume, and anyone seeking her advice or aid might come away a limb, or a life, short. ===Revelry=== Nothing gets a redcap going faster than a new taste experienced for the first time, or the sweet horror on someone’s face when they’re scared, disgusted, or unnerved by surprise. They feast on the discomfort of the just-over-the-line horror film, the bar room brawl gone too far, or a brutal hunt celebrated in bloody, delicious flesh. ===Unleashing=== A redcap letting loose and Unleashing is accompanied by the stench of all the things they’ve eaten, rotted together inside them, and the metallic tang of the blood that once stained their headgear red. Anyone present might feel the urge to be sick, or else just find something to hide under and quake.
