Character Info
【 WORLD INFO 】
Will exists in a world similar to our own, except that creatures of myth and legend exist in secret. Some live side-by-side with humanity while others, such as the Fae, live in an unseen world that sometimes overlaps with this one. As one of the Fae, Will is functionally immortal. Per his backstory, I have flexibility to play him in any historical period dating back to the early 18th century. I'm also willing to AU him into high fantasy settings.
【 BACKGROUND 】
Will is a former Lord of the Seelie Court. Once the leader of the Floral Fae, he was exiled from the Court for his outspoken defense of humans against casual Fae cruelty. Since living among humans for the last three centuries, Will's lived a mostly carefree and hedonistic life. He savors the happiness of others as much as his own, even more so if he's able to contribute to that happiness. Will enjoys all of life's pleasures: music, art, good food, sex, travel, &c.
【 FIRST IMPRESSIONS 】
Will values his appearance and takes great care of it. He's rarely seen barefaced in public. His hair is long(ish) and stylishly messy with natural waves. His clothes are usually bright and outlandish, but comfortable. Will's of average height with sun-kissed skin and grey eyes (thanks to an injury he sustained while battling the Unseelie Queen). Due to many years of traveling in Southeast Asia, Will's English is obviously accented. If the weather is cold (below 70F), he will be found in no fewer than three layers of clothing.
【 PERSONALITY 】
Will is outwardly warm, friendly, and bubbly. He is deeply passionate about both his interests and the people in his life (be they romantic partners or not). As a Fae, he is unable to lie. Unlike his ilk, Will does not endeavor to manipulate or mislead his way around the truth. In fact, he despises deceit. There is much he can forgive, by lying to him is not one of those things.
Will is open to experiences new and old. His greatest joys are love, music, art, food (especially sweets) and animals. He delights in love of all kinds, be it his own or others'. He values the human experience and marvels at what they're able to accomplish in their short lives. His looks are also important to him. He is a flower, after all.
Every now and then others may get a glimpse of Will's more serious side. He's slow to anger, but when triggered, his temper flares hot. He is capable of great violence if incited to it. However, he prefers to keep those aspects under control, a much easier thing to do now that he's living among humans and generally left alone by other Fae. Sometimes, it's possible to see a deep melancholy he carries with him always, as well.

【 ABILITIES & WEAKNESSES 】
Abilities:
- Earth elemental magic (main elemental affiliation): able to create any plant (at present, he believes he is only able to create flowering plants), manipulate wood and earth, and can summon the strength of stone
- Fire elemental magic (secondary elemental affiliation): able to conjure fire of various sizes, the larger the flame the harder it is to control
- Illusionary magic: typically used to hide his Fae aura; can also be used in offensive and defensive ways by making target(s) believe something physical bars their path or is 'attacking' them (ex — a maze of thorns like Maleficent summons in Sleeping Beauty)
- natural affinity with animals
- cold/ice: Will is incredibly sensitive to cold, to the point that it can (and does) injure him seriously
- iron: a weakness of all Fae; iron will burn any part of Will that it contacts, the severity of which is determined by the duration of contact
- alcohol: a single drink of alcohol will render Will functionally drunk
- easily distracted by beauty
【 SHIPPING 】
Will is both pansexual and polyamorous. He usually has multiple partners at any given time. He is involved with a young Changeling who recently discovered he is the Unseelie Queen's son and heir. Will considers this person as his soulmate. Will values connection with others, even if that connection is sudden or brief.
