[Sticks]

I am going to use this thread, when I have time to explain who the main characters are in this saga as they appear, although anyone following the sagas closely will know who they are.

But first

The real origins of the Mystical Realms Saga

Briefly, when I used to post on the Channel 4 Reach forum (now no more), I was the subject of a flame attack in 2001, just after and around Big brother 2. The Mystical Realms sagas was the only way I could post. More details here if you have time


Graeme Andrews
Originally this was an idealised version of me, in the first (2001) and second (2002) series of the Mystical Realms, but when we get to the third Series (Autumn 2007) Graeme Andrews is a former computer public relations advisor and part time advocate. Since his first encounter with entities from the Mystical realms he has operated as a sort of private detective. In fact in the first season, the Sam Spade Meets Big Brother Vignettes that was the impression of what he did.

Graeme Andrews is the only mortal known to have visited the Mystical Realms. Both times he was brought there by force.

As we come across this Graeme, we find he has just finished a case where he has helped an insurance company deal with an attempted insurance fraud. He also has a number of artefacts from the Mystical Realms, namely a dimension jump orb to travel to the Mystical realms and back and also a device to detect such orbs or any attempts to enter our world from the mystical realms.

The Spirit of True Love Deceased
The Spirit of True love used to be the Greek Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. In 2001 she "arranged" for Paul Clarke and Helen Adams to meet and fall in love on Big Brother 2 to try and create a warm feeling in those who watched. She engaged the services of Graeme Andrews to point out, that in fact they were genuine and true to a sceptical world in Cyber Space. Both were subsequently arrested and brought before the legal authorities in the mystical realms on the heinous charge of "interfering with the affairs of Mortals

Graeme Andrews was released as being a mortal, the charge was a nonsense in law, but The Spirit of True Love stood trial with Lachesis one of the Greek fates. Lachesis was let off on a legal technicality, but mid way during the trial, the Spirit of True Love was found dead in her cell. The official cause of death was ruled suicide, but in season three we discovered she had actually been murdered by the person supposed to be her Elven lawyer, Yagel Penswift, who was infact a dark elf, known as a drow, on the orders of the Spirit of True Love's own sister, The Spirit of Lust.

The Spirit of Fidelity Fidelity for short to those who know here true identity and Faith to others
The Spirit of Fidelity is one of a Twin, the other being her long lost twin Spirit of Fancying. Unlike her mother, who was a major spirit of virtue, she is only a minor spirit of virtue. When she was born, sixteen years previous to Series three, on the orders of The Spirit of Lust, name tags were switched, so for most of her life she thought she was her long lost twin sister. This meant she never was able to knowingly use her true powers. She was taken from her mother and secretly brought up mostly by Yagel, allegedly to protect her, but in reality as spite towards her mother, The Spirit of True Love.

Fidelity's true power is to shore up people's faithfulness to a partner or to some other object or entity.

Fidelity's twin sister disappeared shortly after birth, carried away by the fairies to the world of Mortals. Her whereabouts are unknown.

After her rescue by Graeme Andrews from the collapsing cyber world of the World of Warcraft, in which the Spirit of Lust was entrapped, she lives as a sixteen year old girl, (as she thinks she is sixteen, but because they calculated ages differently in the Mystical Relams, by human standards she is actuially 15) Fidelity works in a coffee shop in which Graeme Andrews managed to find her a job, as the manageress knew about the Mystical Realms, since she had seen Graeme return from there back in 2001. Fidelity resides in a hostel, which she hates, but staying with her "saviour" was considered impossible. She is deeply traumatised by her upbringing as she was subjected to physical, but not sexual abuse by Yagel Penswift.

Edit - In part 4 we find that The Spirit of Fidelity had got her age wrong by over stating it by one year, because on the Mystical Realms they worked to the year you were living through, not how many years you had lived as in our world, thus a new born child in their system is 1, as it is living through it's first year. (Analagous to our dating system)

Edit 2 this way of calculating ages also takes place in East Asian countries

Edit 3 - Spoiler
After finally meeting with her sister at Shannon Airport they both took the opportunity to give up their Minor Spirit status and became full humans with a human soul. Fidelity was later adopted by her Twin sister's adoptive parentsl
