Douglas Ron Kenton in present day
The Old Man Of The Woods

He always appears as a Man, with the youngest age being in his mid 60's.
• Method of Travel:
Teleportation
Flight
• Powers:
He can control lightning bolts, fire balls, teleportation, healing abilities, and control the weather, uses magic to counter other's spells, removing curses, turning people into stone, turning people into animals, or turning invisible. He can light his hands on fire and emit bursts of flame. He can also conjure mists, either just to obscure vision or searing heat strong enough to melt steel, or freezing mists strong enough to encase large groups of rivals into frozen targets. In mental combat, he can cast out horrifying monsters that infest people's dreams by wilting them into dissipating completely. Even very powerful creatures capable of ruining someone's supernatural make up often become terrified so completely by his presence that they only dare try to overcome him through surprise attacks, which never take him by surprise.
• Personality:
He is a warning figure who tells the stereotypical teenagers, kids or horror movie victims to get out of the area. He doesn't usually take up residence in communities but he has before. He's made contact with communities, ranging everywhere from creepy cult towns to New York City, but wherever he ends up, he rescues or at least attempts to save people from horrible fates that exist in every nook and cranny of the Creepy Pasta world. He is always kind to children, but can slap the crap out of them if he thinks he can save them from getting caught in trouble with a supernatural baddy. Better mildly traumatized than utterly and totally dead or worse.
He gives advice to people running away from things he doesn't know is possible to get away from, even how to survive years from creatures like Slenderman, Jeff the Killer, although if it came to a battle between the two, The Old Man Of The Woods could shatter Jeff easily.
• Starting World: Creepy Pasta (Earth)
• Backstory:
The Old Man of the Woods was born sometime in the 400's, latest records suggest the year 500. Both and all accounts that record him say that by the age of one hundred he knew how to trash demonic powers like they were nothing. His power waxes and wanes very widely, at one moment he has been powerful enough to barely protect a large Medieval Town like Canterbury, in the next moment he has become powerful enough to ward off monsters like Slenderman and the other native monsters of the Creepy Pasta universe that are extremely powerful and capable of threatening the world. He's always very strongly magically protected, and he has made friends and enemies frequently. The Creepy Pasta universe isn't known for being hospital to heroes, so his friends are usually politically powerful, if they aren't in some way supernatural themselves. By the 1500's he had come to the Americas, taking up residence to defend the natives from creatures that were equal or more powerful than most he had seen in Europe. He stayed, witnessing the trials of Salem, Massachusetts in the 1600's, and even found and defeated some newly found enemies there.
No one related to the Goode family, or Tituba, the real culprits, along with some known accomplices in Salem, were never put on trial, though he went by the name of Ezekiel during those days, he was more of a trader than a resident. No one would listen to him even if they couldn't threaten him physically. He discovered a strange alchemy at work in Salem, but he fled the area, making sure to ward the area for the residents. It's unknown if his wards of protection lasted more than several years. These days, Dennis Ron Kenton, as he is known, lives in Pheonix Arizona, where he attempts to protect the inhabitants from increasing demonic activity.
