[googlefont="lobster two"]
FULL NAME:: Zephyros Raingar Lerayia (never goes by this name)
NICKNAMES:: Goes primarily by Jareth, or Jareth King. Called by Jay, Jare, Angel-Face or Angel.
GENDER:: Genderfluid. Switches between male and female, very rarely settles in the middle.
ACTUAL AGE:: Ageless
APPARENT AGE:: Early to mid thirties
SPECIES/RACE:: Fae (Goblin)
PREFERRED PRONOUNS:: Neutral: thae/thaer/thaem/thaerself OR he/him/himself. Male: he/him/himself. Female: she/her/herself.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION::Yes. Pansexual Polyamourus.
FACECLAIM:: David Bowie/Lena Headey
NATIONALITY:: Caucasian
HEIGHT:: 5'10"
HAIR:: Red and blonde/plain blonde
EYES:: Usually, gold-green. After the shard was implanted in thaer heart, they became ice blue.
SKIN:: White
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:: Thaer left pupil is permanently dilated, making it larger than thaer right. When angered, tusks jut slightly from thaer lower lip, giving thaem a slight lisp.
APPEARANCE:: Jareth likes to make thaerself seem almost almost alien in thaer beauty. Thae are fond of flashy and/or elegant clothing, glittery makeup, and giving thaerself smooth, flawless skin, as well as wearing expensive jewelry. In thaer male form, thaer hair is red on top, blonde beneath, styled back to frame thaer face nicely. In thaer female form, thaer hair is golden-blonde and hangs down to the small of thaer back when it's loose. Thaer left pupil is permanently dilated, making it larger than thaer right. Thaer eyes are an ice-cold blue.
Of all thaer siblings, Jareth is one of the ugliest in thaer true form. Thae are huge, with green-grey skin and far too long claws, and tusks as long as a forearm jutting from thaer lower jaw. Thaer skin is bumpy, thaer spine crooked, so that they have to fall to all fours to walk. You can get glimpses of this, when thae are angered; the claws and the tusks, at the very least. Jareth is not proud of thaer true form, so hide it as best as thae can. Only thaer own parents and perhaps Puck and Chrysa can see through thaer glamour.
PERSONALITY:: Jareth has been called "haughty" by some. And thae certainly do come off that way; thae're very calm and quiet, only occasionally smirking or raising a brow, perhaps frowning a bit more than usual on occasion, but otherwise keeping thaer face a stone, expressionless mask. The airy way in which thae talk contributes to this. To anyone who doesn't know thaem well, thae can seem to think thae're better than everyone else. And, to their credit, thae do have a bit of an ego, one that's easily fueled by praise. But it's not the case that thae thinks thae're better than everyone else. Thae just prefer to keep thaerself to thaerself. Opening up to others has left thaem too wounded in the past, and besides that...
Jareth is what you could call "icy". Even when thae are angry, thaer voice will never raise, thaer expression will be no more than a subtle glare. Thae're very, very much in control of the way thae expresses thaer emotions -- even if not in control of thaer emotions themselves, sometimes. Thae've been like that since thae were a teenager, and thae're likely to be that way until the day thae finally die.
But if you do somehow manage to break thaer composure, be ready to run. Once thae've been slighted, thae're just like any faerie: vengeful, full of vitriol and hate. Thae will not stop until thae have brought you to justice, either through cursing, or through taking matters into thaer own claws. Nothing will appease thaem but blood or misery on your behalf.
Jareth is very vain, as most fae are. Thae like to look thaer best. Thae like to dress in the best clothes; thae like to wear the best makeup. Thae want people to look at thaem in either form and think that thae're otherworldly -- even if thae never reveal that thae really are. Despite this, thae've also got a very motherly nature about thaem. Thae love children, human and fae alike. Jareth falls in love readily and easily, but because of how guarded thae are, thae may not deign to show it.

MARITAL STATUS:: Unmarried, but keeps a harem
HISTORY:: Back when Oberon and Titania had first taken the throne from Mab, Winter Herself, they had no children to speak of. So, as kings and queens are wont to do when they have no heirs -- and as Oberon and Titania were wont to do, being as they were -- they set about producing one. Much to their surprise, they had not one first child, but three. Puck was the first to slip from his mother's womb, and for that he was named crowned prince, set to inherit the throne when his parents finally deigned to step down. Jareth came into the world clinging to Puck's ankle, and then their sister, Chrysa, was after him. The king and queen gave all three of their children true names, then names to call them by, teaching their children to never give their true name out to anyone they could not trust completely and explicitly. Their true names could be used against them, to control them, and that sort of power over a faerie was not something that just anyone could have.
It was at a young age that they realized something was different about Jareth.
Once the child hit age five, he began to throw tantrums. He would kick and scream and throw things for seemingly no reason, and nothing, not even his mother -- whom he favored above all else -- could calm him. It wasn't until he watched his mother trying on dresses and begged for one of his own that it clicked with Titania, and his mother obliged him. Jareth grew her hair out with her magic and wore the dress her mother gave to her. The next week, she was back to being a he, and he was back to wearing his boy’s clothes. But for the rest of Jareth’s life, thae were always moving between those two points of gender.
When Jareth was only a teenager, not even grown, thae liked to take walks in the woods around thaer mother and father's castle. Thae felt at peace there, as if nothing would ever hurt thaem. But it was there, where thae were vulnerable, where an enemy made their move. The Queen of Ice, Mab, was thought to be long dead, but it was hard to kill someone as ancient and resourceful as her. She met Jareth in the forest, and since thae had never known her -- having been conceived after she'd been dethroned -- thae did not recognize her as a danger. So they spoke. Of little things, at first. She kept meeting thaem there, and began to whisper words of thaer father's idiocy in thaer ear. She told thaem how incompetent thaer father was, how the smallfolk hated him. Jareth blew it off, back then. But on their last meeting, Mab touched thaer chest, placing a shard of ice in thaer heart. She used this to turn thaem bitter and cold, so slowly over the course of thaer life that nothing ever seemed out of place. It just looked like thaer natural development.
Oberon and Titania groomed all their children for leadership, even though Puck was the only one meant to inherit the throne. Once their children came of age, Oberon and Titania gave Jareth and Chrysa lands to hold and govern to ease their burden, and Puck's future burden -- but they were still expected to answer to the King and Queen. They did not own the lands, just held them. Jareth was given the Goblins to rule, Chrysa the Changelings.
Jareth set about making thaer home, and then set about building a harem full of men and women and other that thae fancied. Thae loved many, and loved them fully. Thae became a mother to the goblins, and they loved thaem as much as thae loved them. Thae held great parties and balls, inviting all who would come, and they sang and danced into the night. Thaer goblins became known for their songs and their music, for the spells they could cast with it.
But the love and devotion of the goblins wasn't enough for Jareth. The ice in thaer heart had begun to fester and grow, and thae'd grown restless. Mab's words still floated through thaer mind after all those years, and thae finally decided: thae were going to overthrow Oberon. Oh, thae'd still keep thaer mother in power. The fae adored her, and so did thae. But thae would have thaer father's throne, no matter the cost.
Thae took thaer people to war, and seemed to succeed. Though they had not been warrior folk, the goblins' devotion to Jareth kept them by thaer side, and they took the castle. Oberon was even put in chains and imprisoned, and Jareth wore his crown. But at the last minute, Puck returned, and with his trickery and Titania's cunning, Jareth lost the crown before thae could even get used to the weight of it on thaer head. Thae saw this as an act of betrayal on thaer mother's part; thae lost no love for her, but she lost all of thaer trust.
Jareth was punished gravely for thaer actions. Thaer lands and people were cursed, in hopes that thae would learn a lesson. Eventually, the curse on the goblins was lifted -- Oberon realized how unfair it was to punish a whole group for one person's action's. But the Goblin kingdom is still a waste, and still full of creatures no one can comprehend.
Jareth sings, sometimes, in coffee shops and bars. Small gigs, to keep human money in thaer pocket. Thae live comfortably enough. But there's pain, deep inside thaem, and wounds thae're not like to forget. Jareth has not spoken with thaer mother or father since the war and avoids every visit thae're paid by them.
