Name: the only name he offered the staff was Karakoth (not his full name or any of his titles, but most if not all Fae know his importance in the Winter Court)

Species: Forest Fae > Sidhe

Age: Millenia (appears mid-to-late thirties), but from his small shows of power thus far, the park can only guess at a couple of hundred.

Physical Description: [in glamour] Black hair and eyes, pale skin. Usually in a suit or otherwise a white open-collared shirt with black jacket overtop. Wears gold jewelry in his ears and around his neck most often. Smells faintly of moss and earth. Height varies around 6′0″ depending on the size of those talking to him. [no glamour] Proud antlers (similar in shape to that of the red deer) protrude along the sides of his head curving up and forward. They are shed annually, even if Karakoth has been in full glamour all year. His eyes are more brown than black, and his hair is green and red with moss (the black underneath is all but covered). Lichen grows over his neck, and parts of his face. He wears clothes resembling his glamour-form, and replaces them when the need arises (though they are usually stained, worn, and ripped by the time he deems that necessary). Walks barefoot over any terrain. Smells of rot, decay, and stagnation. The air around him feels like a slow, deliberate, all-consuming hunger. Stands comfortably at 7′8″.

Face Claim: Lee Byung-Hun (or Godfrey Gao)

Special Abilities: see bargaining for souls. Karakoth can also make things around him decay, rot, and age at an enhanced rate. He can perform this by touch or mere proximity. He can tarnish things like jewelry or wood, and he can spoil food. Karakoth can also undo these things, but has never shown any at the park of such capabilities, for it would truly show his power, for it takes a considerable effort for him to reverse his natural magics.

Residence: Fields of the Fantastic. Deep in the forests he sleeps on rotting logs and mossy beds. However, he comes out to meet tours often (in full glamour only) to chat, entertain, and otherwise try to entangle unknowing people in bargains.

Physical Description: Forest fae is an umbrella term for the kinds of fae found within forests. This may seem obvious, but the fact of the matter is that all forest fae vary from the size of one’s thumb to taller than a grown man. Some resemble beasts, while others resemble humans. Within this group are (and are not limited to): - pixies & brownies - Sidhe (Ladies, Lords, Queens, and Kings) - ogres & trolls & goblins - changelings Most fae belong to either the Summer Court (generally warm towards humans) or the Winter Court (generally malicious towards humans). Fae that are not part of either Court are called Wyldfae by the others of their specie.

Park Location: Fields of the Fantastic

Natural Habitat: Most fae originate not on this plane, but another. Some call it Faerie, others Fairy Land or the Nevernever. Regardless, most Forest Fae love heavily wooded areas and old forests. sunlit meadows or the darkest depths of the forest are where Fae may be found. The type of Fae generally differ on what environment they prefer. No Forest Fae likes pollution or decimation of their woodland territory.

Diet: Meat (usually cooked, but not always), nuts, vegetables, sweets. Basically they can and will eat anything a human could eat, and their stomachs are hardy enough to digest mushrooms otherwise poisonous to humans.

Strengths: The larger Fae are brutally strong, moreso than a human of the same size. Smaller Fae find their strength in numbers: expect swarms and/or colonies. Trolls and Ogres are the most dangerous Forest Fae physically.

Weaknesses: Iron (burns them; may be used as a core for a collar to suppress magic). Cannot tell an outright lie (but can bend the truth or twist their words). They must honour all sworn oaths. They never give away anything for free, and never take anything without giving something of equal value in return.
