This is an acceptable dichotomy that comes with playing a "monster character", and the danger it presents is a good motivator to keep your inhuman nature under wraps.
You'd need Supernatural Durability to really shrug things off, or some variety of 'immunity to unconsciousness' (probably [30 points], but not helping if you go down to -5x hp). Well, or higher levels of Regeneration (with Bane) so they get up this evening and not a week from now.

Currently the fairy could be beat down to 0 hit points and then aside from wound-penalties the fairy would need to roll to avoid unconsciousness every turn they do something. Even with high HT and Hard to Subdue they probably won't last for a minute. They could also be killed with non-iron weapons since Unkillable still doesn't help you if your enemies simply dismember you (HP -x10).

Though I don't really see a reason to make the fey be like Jason. I'd probably look at something like DR that works against anything except iron, unless your fey is supposed to get run through and have their throat slit only to drag themselves up (bloodied) from the ground to continue fighting. The latter doesn't seem very fey-like. Well, except Red-Caps and such.
