ā¾Personality )ā½
Mischievous|Friendly|Restless|Clever|Reckless
J is, to use a turn of speech, bipolar. But not because of any mental disorder. As a creature of the night, he acts differently as the sun and moon take their places in the sky. His personality doesn't change completely, or even particularly wildly, but it's enough for people close to him to notice.
J is naturally a friendly guy. He likes people. He likes to chatter away. Although, sometimes he does manage to open his mouth and put his foot right in. He can't help it. He just says whatever its on his mind. And since he's so restless he talks very quickly, and tends to change to subject a lot whenever something new pops into his head. He also likes to play tricks on people. Usually his mischievousness is harmless though, just starling people or being generally silly. His intent is to mislead, not to harm. Of course, sometimes things go out of hand, but he's always sorry when it happens. Of course, that doesn't stop him from playing tricks, but there's nothing in the world that could make him less impish. It's because he's restless and clever. He gets bored, so he puts his smarts to use disrupting other people with elaborate pranks. Also, he is really bad about thinking things through before he does them. For a guy who can make elaborate plans, he's terrible at seeing the consequences of his actions.
During the day, J is typically more reserved. It's his depressive side, so to speak. He'll still talk to people and smile and laugh, but there is a tiredness that hangs around him, and sometimes he'll get snappy if he feels bored or he feels like he's stuck somewhere. He paces and moves around a lot during the day, bouncing his knee, tapping his fingers, humming, anything to keep him moving. And usually he isn't as impish. Sure he still might steal something of yours when your not looking, then laugh and give it back once you finally notice, or crack a joke or two, but nothing elaborate is the product of his day self. He also doesn't much care for bright days. He can often be seen with his eyes squinted and a faint frown on his face when outside in the bright sunlight, as if he'd stayed up all night drinking Red Bull and playing video games. He often complains when it is too bright outside, and will seek shadows to relieve his eyes, even when it isn't too terribly bright outside. Despite his somewhat more grumpy attitude, he's usually honest, though not quite as forthwith with his thoughts as at night.
At night, J's mischievousness factor goes up by twenty. He becomes more manic, much more bubbly. He'll talk about anything and everything, and he'll laugh a lot too. Also he becomes a little liar. He's half as likely to tell the truth as to lie, but usually the grin on his face will give away his falsehood if he doesn't burst out laughing afterwards and apologize. He also becomes significantly more restless and reckless, usually nighttime is when he has harebrained schemes to walk to a convenience store in another town and buy random things he doesn't need. He also doesn't get much sleep at night, or at least, it seems that way. He usually spends significant time during the day napping so he can enjoy his nighttime exploits. He becomes extremely insistent if the people he's with seem tired or annoyed with his antics. He can't help it.
Regardless of how he acts, he truly cares about his friends, and people in general, really. He doesn't have enemies. He doesn't hold grudges. Of course, he's not stupid enough to keep allowing people to do things that hurt him, but he won't seek revenge, and he can still be cordial with people who have hurt him in the past.

Abilities
"A man's worth is not measured by his power, but how he uses it."
ā¾Powers/Abilitiesā½
Nature's Friend: As a natural denizen of forests, marshlands, and swamps, Hinkypunks are very in tune with nature. To the point where, with practice, they can begin to control the elements to small extent. Things like making plants grow faster or in certain directions, making a fire burn brighter or bigger, make water rush faster, and make the wind blow a little bit. These powers are not very strong, as Hinkypunks are only minor Fae, but with practice they can become very suitable for ensnaring an unsuspecting target.
Thin Air: Being stealthy creatures, Hinkypunks can also become invisible. It's the kind of invisible where an onlooker's eyes will slide right off his figure, but if someone knows where and how to look, they might see the light shiver of his frame. He can also turn things around him invisible, but he has to be touching them, and they cannot be alive. Being invisible also mutes the sounds of his breathing, and makes the his footsteps much quieter, to improve his stealth. Also, when frightened or caught in an act, vanishing takes the place of the natural flight response of the Hinkypunk.
Bioluminescence: The mark of a Hinkypunk who's come into his or her powers is a faint glow around them. After he vanishes for the first time, he will have a permanent. It changes color based on his mood. With practice the glow's intensity can be controlled from blinding to barely visible, and be confined to a lantern or another type of light emitting device. This is how many Hinkypunks lure people off the path, but if a Hinkypunk is separated from his luminescence for too long, or taken too far away from it, he will slowly wither away and die, and his or her light will return to its homeland and wander aimlessly forever.

ā¾Petā½

ā¾Backgroundā½
J lived in South Korea with his parents and his sister, plus one of his mother's sisters, until he was nine, and his older sister was twelve. When his aunt suddenly disappeared, it wasn't a few days later before the family moved out without a glance backwards. They moved to a small town in America, and J vaguely remembers his parents saying that they'd be safer there. He had a fairly normal childhood from then on, but he often struggled with speaking English, since he'd only been learning it for a few years before they moved, and he wasn't very good at it yet. So he didn't have many friends growing up, but that was okay with him, since his family was very quiet and withdrawn anyway. Despite struggling with English at first, he proved to be very smart, and skipped two grades. However, his older sister used up the rest of their funds to go to college, where she is currently in her third year, and proud J didn't want to be a burden on anyone, so he's trying to work to make enough money to go to college himself once Sonya gets out and starts making money to help support their parents.
J doesn't know of his origins, or of the line of Fae that came before him. His grandparents on his mother's side decided to settle down and try to blend in with the humans when she was a young girl, and they bottled up their lights like many of the others trying to survive in a very industrialized world, where myth and legend were becoming almost extinct, along with their breed. But they still encouraged their two daughters to marry pure, and J's mother managed to, settling down with another hinkypunk who'd put away his light. Her sister was not so lucky, so the woman lived with them as they tried to raise a generation of 'human' hinkypunks that didn't know of their powers, of their heritage, so they could live normal, human lives. They did not know what happened to Mina's sister, but they assumed that she'd been hunted down and killed by someone who still knew of their existence and wanted to exterminate them, or by another fae or a daemon.
