DJ Ötzal (named for the mountain
range where hikers found Ötzi, a prehistoric hunter preserved in the ice) isn’t so much a title as a character: a role played by Winter courtiers who speak on Radio Free Fae.
- Everyone who plays the part speaks in the same, rapid-fire whisper.
- Each pirate radio station under the Free Fae banner has its own Ötzal.
- Some of them are public about their alter ego, but others are not; they want to preserve the mystique of the gossiping, anonymous figure that annoys conservative courtiers so much.
- More than one DJ Ötzal claims to not remember what he or she says during a broadcast, claiming a trance state or some benign form of possession.
Radio Free Fae
Radio Free Fae is a program produced by the Winter Court to give news of what is going on in the Freehold. The stories are often cryptic with obscure nicknames being used that hopefully only Freeholders would recognize. Sacramento's program takes the form of a podcast by DJ Otzal on an obscure website that needs a password to access. DJ Otzal isn't so much a title as a character played by Onyx courtiers who speak on Radio Free Fae. While some DJs are open about their alter ego, most are not. The entire enterprise being frowned upon by conservative Silent Arrows and the DJ's flippant bad-mouthing of public figures can make him despised by some Changelings.
