Dylan Gray
Gender: Male
Orientation: Bisexual, Demiromantic
Age:
Race: Fae
Looks: Face claim: Charlie Siem
Personality: Superficially, Dylan is quite charming. He is quite the lady's (or any gender, he is not picky) man, and he is happy to ride off of his success as a musician to garner attention. He surrounds himself with beautiful people, some of which are merely arm decoration or status symbols, and others he happily takes back to his bedroom. His relationships are never serious, especially when it comes to humans. It would take an extraordinary partner to hold his interest long-term. While some would call him narcissistic, he is merely an UnSeelie fae. Humans have little importance to him, and while they are above animals, they are ranked below fae in his own hierarchy. Using a human for personal gain does not prick his conscience in the least, even where doing the same to fae might cause him to pause and reconsider his actions. Anyone he can easily manipulate is fair game. Unlike many UnSeelie fae, he does not outright hate humans, though. He rather enjoys the attention they give him, and he stays in the Overgreen (human realm) where his moderate powers (from a fae perspective) are quite useful to him. He has no desire to return Undergreen (fae realm) anytime soon.
History: Born to powerful parents, Dylan was somewhat of a disappointment in only having moderate magical ability. As with all powerful fae, having a single child is a momentous occasion, as reproduction after the Cataclysm (initial destruction of the fae realm) is difficult, with rogue magics interfering with fae biology. The most powerful fae are the most affected and the least likely to produce children. So while his parents might wish for a more magical offspring, he was raised with love and the typical protectiveness of UnSeelie over their children. However, he could not escape the constant mutterings from his peers about how he could have been so much better, so much stronger, and how he must be such a disappointment to his parents. Due to this, he chose to leave the Undergreen and take up residence among humans Overgreen. It is likely also from whence his need for attention stems. As his magic is tied directly to music, he learned and quickly excelled at the violin. Through multiple faked "generations" of "Grays", moved from place to place to preserve his secret, he has gained wealth and prestige. His current guise is that of a thirty-one-year old violinist who had come out of seemingly nowhere to become one of the top violinists in the world.
Powers/Abilities: Magic puppeteering, directed by violin. Invisible strings are attached to a person or object, linked to the strings of his violin. He can then play the violin and direct the 'puppet'. Fae 'glamour' which allows him to appear human, though once someone has seen him without his glamour in place, it no longer works on them.
