The Garbage Court | Supernatural RP | Open and Accepting

[Wormgod]

Mournhold! City of Light! City of Magic!

The city of Mournhold contains a stark divide; the rich and the poor, the law-abiding and the criminals, the natural and supernatural. Well, by human standards. All things are of this earth, including the magical that humanity chooses to ignore. And really, it's better they do ignore it. They can barely handle what they currently know; to add our existence and problems will overwhelm them. We may hide among them, but we keep to ourselves. It's better that way.

To effectively keep hidden, we--the Fae, a catch-all term for all supernatural creatures even if they aren't faeries--govern ourselves with courts. A court keeps track of all the Fae in their territory, like a human nation would. They set their own laws, like curfews and restrictions on messing with humans. Most Fae belong to a court, but some don't like to be "ruled" and stay out. Those Fae are looked down upon.

Mournhold has always had a large amount of Fae. It was originally founded by us, after all. Almost all of the city is ruled by one court: the Storm Court. They run things like a Court should: ruthless. The slums are run by our court: the Garbage Court. Here in the Garbage Court we're a bit more...loose. We don't look down upon people, even the courtless Fae and the humans. The Lord of the Court made it that way. And now we're looking to own the city. The only question is will you help us?

Username: Wormgod

Name: Lord Dagen

Age: Appears to be in his late twenties. Actual age unknown.

Gender: Male

Position in Court: Lord of the Court

Species: Basilisk

Abilities: The Basilisk ("little king" of snakes) is a diminutive but deadly Fae. They resemble a foot-long, black snake with spines atop their head that loosely resemble a crown--hence the name basilisk: "little king". Basilisks are well known for their petrifying gaze which turns any who meet their eyes into stone. They are also fast, highly venomous, and territorial. The first Basilisks were borne from the eggs of cobras hatched by roosters, and they maintain a weakness to the rooster's caw. Being snakes, they are also prone to being eaten by mongooses. And while they can turn their petrifying gaze off, if one happens to keep that power active and meet their own eye in a mirror they will turn themselves to stone.

Dagen long ago learned how to glamour into a human. As Basilisks do not have natural magic, he has to purchase powdered magic to use.

Appearance: As a human, Dagen appears as a tall, lanky fellow with rich caramel skin and long, curly hair. He keeps it down most of the time, and in a ponytail when it needs to be out of the way.

Personality:

History: Dagen is one of the naturally born Basilisks, born of a momma Basilisk and a dad Basilisk instead of a snake egg and a rooster. He comes from Egypt, where a substantial population of Basilisks live in secret among the dunes of the eastern Sahara. They mainly lived in their real form as snakes, but occasionally used glamour to shift into humans and trade with the humans for supplies. As a child he longed to get away from his large, overbearing family and see the world he saw on TV in those stolen glances among the humans--other countries, humans, and magical places. The actors on tv seemed convinced that magic was all over, but what they described was nothing like Dagen knew from firsthand experience. And the documentaries and news did not show the same beliefs. It was disheartening to learn that humanity does not know of magic, cannot know, and if they do learn, they will likely try to hurt him. When Dagen matured, he wandered around the world to look for a territory of his own, as Fae often do. He wandered into Mournhold with the intent of staying for only a few weeks, but after seeing firsthand the way the Storm Court behaves with courtless Fae, he decided to try his hand at making his own Court. The Lord of the Storm Court laughed when he heard the news at a yearly gathering, "A little king like you declares himself a Lord of Court in the slums? If you wish to own the garbage, than so be it. But your Court will not last."

And thus, the unnamed Court gained a name and wore it as a badge of honor: the Garbage Court.
