Character Sheet:
Name: Tinkerbolt Puck
Age: 15
Role: the messenger
Appearance: Measuring at 5 inches and 7lbs, Tinkerton is all skin and bones. He has two sets of wings that poke through his brown aviators jacket,
one feathered pair to focus on flapping and a thinner pair to steer. His top wing is dressed in transparent feathers while his bottom set is equally transparent. He has spiky white hair often pushed down by
a flying helmet with goggles (all made from natural materials). He was born naturally pale which earned him the nickname ghost.
Weapons: weapons aren't made small enough for practical fairy usage so he doesn't carry anything big. The weapons he does have are homemade from sharpened sticks or small rocks. His best weapon is a sharpened birch wood dagger that hurts like a bee sting.
He keeps a large arsenal of magic about him, most of which pertaining to illusion making.
Skills, Abilities, and Hobbies: Being a fairy Tink has the ability to fly which is pretty essential in being a messenger.
When flying though his magical energy is greatly decreased because his flight is powered from the same source. The electric blue aura he produces when flying is residue of the spent magical energy. There is litlle magical energy trapped inside his small body so the only form of magic he knows cost very little energy at all. Tink is skilled in crafting illusions of all shapes and sizes if he studies the subject enough. These illusions are increasingly realistic depending on how much energy he puts into them. The fatal flaw of his every illusion is that as soon as someone touches them they disappear. He is an expert in weather interpretation, as well as navigation to help make him a great navigator.
Tink doesn't have many hobbies to himself but he usually likes to participate in what he sees others doing. Though he comes off nosy and possibly pestersome he always does so with good intentions. During free time when no one needs help he finally retires to his own devices. He has challenged himself with making a pedal powered zeppelin though it still measures only about half the size of a large adult sleeping bag.
Personality: Tink is a people pleaser. It means everything to him to be in someone's favor and he never likes to have enemies. He understands that some people have to be enemies, Getsus for example, but he doesn't leave someone an enemy if he can help it. Next he takes his role as messenger very seriously. He is very responsible and will do everything possible to complete a task once he gives his word that he'll do it. His desire to stay on people's good side results in him being very gullible at the best of times.
History: When Getsus initially started to take over the IDD the fairies had no intention of joining. After all they that Getsus had no way of hurting them. The fairies were nomadic and whatever home they did have were far too remote or well hidden for Getsus to get to. And their ability to fly was far better than Getsus' Zeppelins. Most fairies already took great joy out of chaos so they actually enjoyed seeing the other races being destroyed.
Then came Leon Puck; the first fairy in their history to have even a scrap of morals. Leon couldn't stand to stand by as someone else caused chaos so he made his goal to stop getsus. At least from causing disorder, that was a fairy job. By being the only one with a problem he had a hard time finding people to join his cause. He was ridiculed for his morals until he came up with the idea to give them a demonstration of what it would be like if the destruction befell them. He moved on to one of their biggest cities and used his magic it make it look as if getus's forces were ransacking the city. The forces were all illusions but that did not stop the feeling being expressed through the entire species. He was banished for his actions but his thought's were unchanged. He decided that if he couldn't stop Getsus's chaos, he would just have to join him and make it worthy of a fairy. Leon led him to every fairy city, camp, and route until there was nothing left of the fairy civilization.
The fairies moved on to be little more than vermin in Getsus' paradise and struggled to survive. About fours years into the sentence they learned that Leon had a son; our Tinkerton Puck. No fairy had forgotten Leon's actions so they figured that it would a like-father-like-son scenario and were determined to stop it. They put magical barriers over the majority of Tink's magic so that he barely had enough to fly. Next they thought that Leon must have kept many of his most sinister emotions hidden so they in turn altered his glow (which was peculiar since they had long since lost their own) to express his every emotion. Lastly they had a mentor watching him constantly to at least try and keep him on track.
The mentor did his job and Tink grew up with morals stronger than his father but in a positive direction this time. He was kind, thoughtful, and intelligent but still he didn't seem to be accepted by the other fairies. he was judged sternly and punished far more severely than the other fairy children. He had to pester his mentor a lot before he finally admitted that they didn't want him to be like his father. That started the only time he had purposely done anything bad with the fairies. When he was meant to be sleeping he would practice illusions. He saw that if he was to denounce his father he would have to purify the art his father disgraced. Then he would sneak off and practice flying for increasing distances and heights. It was during one of these expeditions that he ran into a freedom fighter messenger who was carrying back an important message about Getsus' movements. The messenger was killed by his pursuers but not before he passed the message on to a shaken Tink. Tink was deciding what he should do with the message when he was met by his mentor and the rest of the fairy population. They of course jumped to the worst of conclusions and figured he had been working for Getsus and killed the messenger himself. Tink was sentenced to death by wing amputation; a slow, agonizing and greatly humiliating death. When the execution came, Tink went into a frenzy and created every fairy predator in a state of rage. Hawks, Pixies by the dozen, elementals (to name a few) succeeded in scaring everything senseless and helped Tink escape. Before leaving the fairies forever he vowed to every single one of them that he would be nothing like his father, that he would save them from their life as vermin, that he would re-glorify the art of illusions.
Tink continue to deliver the departed messenger's message to the freedom fighters along with many more.
