Character Chart
Character's full name:  Jareth Keenan Molko
Reason or meaning of name:  Never having created a character before this one, I wanted something that sounded old worldish.  I like the name "Jared" so I morphed it into "Jareth."  Keenan and Molko come from two of my favorite musicians.  Maynard James Keenan of TOOL, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, and Brian Molko of the group Placebo.
Character's nickname: None really.
Reason for nickname: N/A
Birth date:  October 13, 1530

Physical appearance
Age: 478 years
How old does he/she appear: 16.  He was turned into a Lycan on January 1, 1547
Weight:  126lbs Human form, over 350lbs lycan form
Height:  5'9"
Body build: Slender
Eye color:  Soft blue (human), ice blue (Vamp), black (Lycan), and whatever comes in most handy in his hybrid form.
Glasses or contacts:  none
Skin tone:  Pale, but not vampyre pale.  He was turned during the winter so he wasn't tanned up like he preferred in the summer.  After his turning, tanning/burning was prevented by his lycanthropy.
Distinguishing marks: None, any old wounds or scars he had as a human were wiped away due to the regenerative properties of his lycanthropy.
Predominant features: His rather large blue eyes.
Hair color: Naturally dark brown, almost black.  But he likes it dyed black with red highlights.
Type of hair:  Longish.  Shoulder length.
Hairstyle: More or less a cross of Goth and emo.
Voice: Not very deep, but a definite teenage voice.  He has a natural Southern English accent, similar to Daniel Radcliffe, though he can easily speak with an American accent as well.
Overall attractiveness: Cute, almost to a fault.
Physical disabilities:  None.
Usual fashion of dress:  Goth.  Black, red, violet, metal accessories, leather.

Good personality traits: Compassionate, loving, protective.
Bad personality traits: Can be judgmental and disrespectful.  As Gabriel Carne has found out.
Mood character is most often in: Care-free and happy.
Sense of humor: Typical teenage male humor.
Character's greatest joy in life: Right now, his new car. A 2010 Trans Am.
Character's greatest fear: None now, those fears have already been faced.  Loosing his family and his one true love.
Why? See above.
What single event would most throw this character's life into complete turmoil?  Again, that's already happened.  See above.  Also getting turned into a Hybrid has been no cake walk either.
Character is most at ease when:  He's lying in bed with his headphones on listening to some of Nine Inch Nails more melodic, instrumental tunes. "La Mer" is a good example.
Most ill at ease when:  Lately, when the topic of the Elder Hybrid, Valerica comes up.
Enraged when: Those he cares for are in danger or he comes under attack.
Depressed or sad when:  Thinking of the one's he's lost.
Priorities:  His newly "adoptive" family.  Erys, Gabe and CiCi.
Life philosophy:  Treat others as you wish to be treated.  Unless it's Gabe, then fun times are to be had.
If granted one wish, it would be:  To have his love, Korin Xander Bishop back.
Why?  Korin was Jareth's "sire," the one who saved him from death, the one he spent over three and a half centuries, deeply in love with.  The one who was murdered by Death Dealers.
Character's soft spot: Animals.
Is this soft spot obvious to others?  He doesn't know, nor care if it is or not.
Greatest strength:  Willingness to help anyone in need.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: His continual conflict of dealing with being a Lycan and a Vampyre.
Biggest regret:  Not being able to save Korin, or his Parents.
Minor regret:  Thinking he could find a compassionate motherly figure in Valerica.
Biggest accomplishment:  Removing the tyranny that was King Henry the VIII.
Minor accomplishment:  Keeping his conflicting sides from destroying himself and everyone around him..
Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: None that he can think of.

Why:  If discovered, his entire family would be executed.  Including himself.
Childhood hero:  Other than his dad, none really.  Though he'd heard of the stories and whispered rumors of woodsmen that would rob from the rich and give to the poor, he admired that... if the legends were true.

Education:  Parents taught him, and after their deaths, he and Korin would attend various schools and universities off and on through out the centuries.
Religion: His parents were pantheist (nature worshippers) and so he was too.
Finances:  Even though they didn't live as such, his parents being Immortals had accumulated enough in their lifetimes to keep Jareth quite comfortable for many centuries.  And through his own lifespan, he's managed to acquire more.
