from my understanding a fairy piece is just any piece that doesn't move like your average pawn, bishop, knight, rook, queen, king

Cougar Queen, moves forwards like a queen, but backwards like a king. Forwards is defined by towards the opponent's king.
Mine can move 3 steps forward, but only 1 step diagonally backward. Kills one step forward and or one step diagonal. Worth 7 points. If reaches 8th rank turns into a queen and is worth 10 points.

Queens, Rooks and Bishops can't jump. How are your corresponding fairy pieces any different?

They're different because they CAN jump

Yes. My bad. For some reason I read that as 'can't'.
Sorry. I will have to work on my reading skills.
Mine is called the Star, Queen but can jump and also can move like a knight and when reaches eighth rank the opponent gets checkmated.

Free-Roamer - it moves like a Rook in that it must move Horizontally or Vertically and cannot jump, BUT, it also has the following rules:
1) It can change direction.
2) It must move EXACTLY 5 squares
3) You can zigzag, but like knights, they will always end up on the opposite color square.
4) It can only capture on the 5th and final square. So a Black free-roamer on h8 with a White pawn on h7 and White Knight on g8 has no legal move!
For example, Let's say you had the following diagram where the Rooks are free-roamers:
The free-roamer on a1 cannot move.
The one on h8 can only go to g8
The one on a8 can go to b8 (a8-b8-b7-b8-b7-b8), c7 (a8-b8-b7-c7-b7-c7), d8 (a8-b8-b7-c7-d7-d8), or d6 (a8-b8-b7-c7-d7-d6)
The one on h1 can go to g1, f2, e3, f4, or g3.
Had there been a White Knight on b8, the a8 free-roamer would have no legal move, but if a White Knight is on c7, Black can play a8-b8-b7-b8-b7-xc7
God
Moves like an amazon, cannon, and wildebeest. Worth 20 points.
