Abilities
(Natural)
- Shapeshifting - According to legend, the pooka is a deft shapeshifter, capable of assuming a variety of terrifying or pleasing forms. It can take a human form, but will often have animal features, such as ears or a tail. As an animal, the pooka will most commonly appear as a horse, rabbit, goat, goblin, or dog. No matter what shape the pooka takes, its fur is almost always dark. For Dorax, his shapeshifting is always preceded with a sneeze. While as an elf, he's able to manipulate vines like Doctor Octopus style.
- Wish granting - As a fae, Dor is able to grant wishes. However there's plenty of laws that he follows.
Fae who can grant Fae Boons have to abide by the following laws.
- The Fae is obligated to offer a boon when they hear, be it verbally or overhear a thought with the words I wish. There are no exceptions. The magic picks out the desire to wish and allows the Fae to overhear such thoughts pertaining to the wish.
- The Fae cannot warn the wisher of a Fae boon once the words I wish have been thought or spoken, nor reject the wish. They can however, ask the person to think carefully if they wish to warn.
- Deceit is encouraged when offering a Fae Boon.
- The Fae can only grant the wish if the wisher accepts the offer by making the wish clearly after offering to grant their wish.
- The Fae has to inform the wisher that they would have to offer an item of equivalent value, and that once they have agreed to a Fae boon, they have to go through with it.
- An item offered by the wisher cannot be taken back by the wisher as a second thought.
- Unless the offered item has an equivalent value, or higher, the offer must be rejected.
- Should the wisher fail to offer a suitable item, but desires the wish, the Fae must take something of equivalent value. The Fae can only do this by force after they have granted at least 2 boons.
- Value is judged based on the importance of the object to the wisher. For instance, a singer would value their voice more than a normal person.
- The Fae has to follow the exact words of the wish.
- The Fae has to do their best to gain the upper hand in the deal.
- Items bartered cannot be used by the Fae who grants it, they hold on to it like currency. If the Fae wishes to use it, they have to give up something of an equivalent value to receive their own Boon. The same laws apply to them.
- Faes cannot grant new magic, but they can transfer magic between people depending on what is given. They cannot make new magic out of nowhere, but if the Fae holds the magic, it can be released to someone.
- A fae can give their true name to someone, but should the true name be used by the same person 3 times to grant them a boon, they become bound to the fae.
- Hammerspace - This is related to his wish magic. Due to his nature of collecting things, Dorax tends to store things in a separate dimension in the faerie land, and can take things in and out of it if he has it. Usually its pastries that he baked, or things that he had obtained from wishes.
- Emotion manifestation - Dorax's magic is wild and has the tendency to manifest in odd ways. Usually that is in the form of his emotions. I.e. When he is sad, a raincloud forms over his head and it is more glamour than anything else. Happiness = rainbows and clouds and all that.
(Learned)
- Healing magic - Dorax is capable of speeding up healing at the cost of the other person's life force but that's about it. He can't do miracles unless it's via wishing.
- Baking - Dor makes seriously good food, and its from all his baking in his spare time during the centuries. He's a natural baker and at times, when he gets really into the groove, his magic helps out with the egg cracking and such... very much like the scene from Sleeping Beauty.
- Herblore - Dorax does not know the names of herbs, but he knows how to use them effectively from their smell, and an innate knowledge of them. Although he's still learning about them.
Appearance
Varies depending on his form really...
A young elf with a mischevious glint in his eyes. His hair is tied back into a pony tail, kept tied with a vine. The rest of his clothes are seem to be decorated in the colours of spring, along with a few flowers here and there. A large pink flower blooms from his hair. Around his neck he wore a necklace carrying a ring. A pooka of old. [Wild Fae][Fae Boons Info]
Any other pertinent info:
Dorax belongs to neither court. While he doesn't have to cater to their whims, he lacks their protection as well. He is also highly illiterate and refuses to learn how to read or write... because he never saw the need in several centuries, and he isn't going to start any time soon.
