Allegedly abducted from their dimension millions of years ago and thrown into another, a group of Fae Folk have spent hundreds of thousands of years attempting to return home or bring its splendor to Earth (or, as the Fae Folk refer to it, the Prosaic Realm). Most in the community seek to reach these goals at any cost. None, however, have ever managed to find a way back. Every millennium that passes fosters growing fears and dread. Younger fae have growing doubts that such a place exists, or ever has.

Born in the Appalachian wilds, Ballyraven is a shapeshifting creature with a love for stories and sketches. A relatively young fae, Ballyraven has only heard stories of the Home Realm and its magic. The choices and attitudes of the Fae Courts have never sat right with Ballyraven; the cruelty, lies, and deception of its highest members, as well as their harming of the Prosaic's lifeforms, set Ballyraven on another path - one against them.

Losing friends and family, Ballyraven abandoned the comforts of the Fae Kingdoms and the purpose it provided. Adventuring around the globe, Ballyraven sought to understand life and its complexities, taking joy in Earth's wonders. Feeling like an outsider, Ballyraven wanted to find their place in this world. They blended in among humans but never felt like they truly belonged.

​

Investigating every odd rumor, myth, and strange tale, Ballyraven couldn't shake their desire for something more, something magical, like the stories they heard in their youth. There were so many questions no one seemed to have an answer for. One day, Ballyraven came across something unbelievable - an ancient fae artifact that led to the location of a living cryptid! Skeptical and questioning, Ballyraven was doubtful any others could exist - only to discover another and another with the magical mask’s help! Needing to know the unknown, Ballyraven continued to research and delve into the field; each discovery only led to another question... their answers must be out there somewhere, too.

Meeting many others along the way, Ballyraven created the BCWPA to share information about and protect rare organisms, as well as discover undocumented beings. Those who believed in Ballyraven's cause joined the group; BCWPA's initial agents studied and taught about cryptids, later setting up programs to help restore populations and protect environments. Today, the organization is made up of over 30 members: humans, hybrids, cryptids, and even a few fae.
