Personality
The Heart of the Grove
Mourning is a playful pixie who is all about pulling pranks, partaking in fae games, and being a menace to society. The little fae is easily bored, and can become whiney quickly if he is not entertained enough. Best to stay on his good side and he may just give you a Kingly favor!Despite his playful and more aggressive nature, this is only a mask that hides Mourning's true motives, which are to build his court of feral fae, and turn Mortals who strike deals with him into his courtiers.
Reference Material
Abilities
Shape Shifting
Mourning can shapeshift into a few forms. He can transform into a taller version of himself, as well as a more 'normal' like viera form to stealth through the mortal realms (though it's not very good). Naturally a small fae, Mourning prefers this over anything else and is the easiest form to maintain. Being big can result in clumsy accidents, make the King more irritable, and thus more dangerousCome the seasonal shifts, MG also shifts. His form may shift a little, to a lot, depending on how powerful he has become with each passing season. These shifts typically last for a single season, until he shifts once again
Lethal Dazzle
Although Mourning may be a sparkly boy, his talents for combat and magic lie in the performance arts.
He is a magical bard, whose songs cast potent spells both as boons, and also for combat. He also has a base knowledge of pictomancy, which is used more in passive magics in conjunction with his ability to create 'pocket dimensions'.
With his own crafted paints can bring to life pictures that can be stepped into. Quite useful for building a fae domain.
His other magical abilities range from heavy conjuring of lethal moths and butterflies, as well as knowledge and application of necromancy pertaining to the control of dead flora and fauna specifically.
A Hunting Pixie
This fae comes off heavily as a creature with wild/animalistic traits. With long elk-like legs and long tail, he is quick to run and agile. His attenae/antlers allow him to be attentive and feel small shifts of the air or small vibrations. Despite being bony, he is strong physically; even when he is only 6 inches tall, he can pick up a Roe man and fly with him. With a sensitive nose, Mourning gains information on an aetherical level through smell rather than sight. With his touch, he is able to read the surrounding aether within the flora, and commune with smaller animals.His weapons of choice are his bare hands, a hunting bow or knife, a slingshot, and his bard instruments.
Plots and Hooks
That's Def a FaeAny of those with aethersight/senses will see how dense with dynamis Mourning is. It's easy to tell he is fae, even another fae can tell without having to look too deep past any glamours he is trying to disguise himself inJam Man
Mourning Glory goes by MG when he plays mortal. Known as an odd veira gardener, MG sells jams come the harvest seasonDealings with the King
A deal made with a fae king can be serious and dangerous business, but the payoff may have enough worth it's not unsensible to think about making a powerful deal, right?
If it's plausible, or needed for plot pushing, Mourning is open to making dreams come true, with a cost~
A Symbol of Autumnal Death
Mourning Glory came to be from the husk of a deceased death head hawk moth, during the middle of autumn at the peak of the harvest moon, when the decay of gardens and most flora or fauna start to die/hibernate for the coming cold months ahead.
His presence has been known to feel like the death of Summer, and the Rise of early Autumn. He smells like a crisp, frosty fall morning and the decay of leaves. With a voice that is raspy with rolling hisses and purrs, Mourning still possesses some attributes of a moth, like his antennae, fluffiness, and colors. Pollen and little critters often run through his hair and fluff, especially during spring and summer moons."Youuu cannnot escaaape what autuuummn warrrnnns is commminnng."MG gets along best with Fae who are of the unseelie and aligned with the traits of fall. He is exceptionally attracted to springtime Seelie fae.
The Briar Court
As King of the Briar Court who resides in the Elphyne Grotto, Mourning oversees the aether that ebbs and flows throughout the place.His title is practically meaningless in terms of any political affiliation. The court is like a hive or colony of fae. Mourning is 'royal' meaning, he can become something close to what would be considered a primal, but certainly nothing God-like. The pixie can share and channel his magic to those in his court like a boon. The more that are in this 'hive', the stronger the court and its courtiers are magically.There is a fact that Mourning Glory rules upon to keep order:
It's a fact he can teleport you into a room of flesh eating butterflies if you misbehave in his domain.
He doesn't ask for much, but he does expect some level of respect, both for him and his fellow courtiers. You mess with one, you mess with all.
List of Knowledge
Mourning is old, and set up to be a King of Fae, he is smart, crafty, and witty to my best extent of playing such a character.He gets wheeled out a lot because he's fun to play, but in no means do I attempt to interject him and 'fix' issues with his knowledge, unless it is to build plot or get players out of a pickle.His knowledge and most of his abilities are kept behind deals that need to be made to access his power. As per fae mechanics.
This will bind one in a contract of sorts, and there are varying levels of how intense a deal is and how that affects the character. That's the fun of it!Mourning Glory is also a lil shite by design, he sometimes will know the answer, but will elect not to say a thing because to him, it's funny to watch mortal struggle

Important Friends
The Yew Tree, Djen
A Dyrad that was once a magnificent grove of yew trees deep in the forest of Rak'tika. Mourning watched a battle between mortals for days that consumed the grove and burned it down along with a good portion of the forest. He could not do much to influence the fight, and had to focus on protecting his own little meadow from destruction.
As the smoke cleared, and the bodies began to be picked over by scavengers, Mourning flew through the ashes of the once great yew grove, and found its heart. He tucked this into his soul, and created a form to project the once great grove, and thus Djen the dryad came to be.Xlyphie Briarheart
Technically his wife, through business means, Xylfie is the queen to Mourning's king. A polar opposite, these two are at odds magically, and cannot undo each other's magics as they balance each other out in an aetherical sense. She is the Queen of the Briar Seelie, fierce, beautiful, and will cut you.

Love Hurts
MG wants to court a potential long-term partner, but it's complicated to find someone given his status, and other factors
</3Falling in love with Mourning Glory means falling in love with his world, his court, and bonding thuslyAn OC may optionally become fae-touched or turn fae over time as a natural consequence of being around MG and the Briar Court.</3I as MG's writer, I try to offer a fun experience for rp partners beyond just erp and cuddling scenes. If that is all you want to RP out, that 'aint my vibe.MG has two mates and is not looking to add any more. He is deadset on his beloveds, however is still open for anything casual that doesn't involve romance
