I bet $100 that Max is so going to make fun of him for being half FairyThat being said, remember that Fairies are tinkerbell like things, or at least have wings like them. In the comics, That being said, I throught, since he was 'half' he wouldn't know invasive magic, or have you not changed it yet? Heh. Personally I think it would be funny if he had shrinking magic on himself XDAnyway, just a few touch ups like we talked about and I will accept on the bases it follows folklore of children being kidnapped etc. Just this time you were raised, not eaten

I can add a "more up to date" pic if you want a more fairy like image of his true form in the Mundy world if you want, and shrinking may make sense, given that he would probably go personally to houses of pixies or little folk who are that small, and obviously he'd have to be able to enter and fit through the door to talk with them over tea or something like that. Normally though, since he is still half-human, he would be average size and still require a Glamour due to his Faerie traits. I'll leave it to your preference.

Name: Gideon Armstrong

Nickname: "Wyldefae"

Race: Half-Human, Half-Faerie

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Gideon in his prime, before the Homelands were conquered and he was driven out.

Personality: Mercurial and inscrutable, Gideon is more often than not jovial to people he meets for the first time, but there is no guarantee that he will treat the person the same way the next time he will meet them based on changing circumstances. He keeps his true intentions hidden, and although he is tough to read, he does have a caring heart for those in need.

Fable: The Changling Child, Gideon was a stolen from his human crib when he was a baby by one of Sidhe, the Fae Lords. Taken into the realm of Tir Na Nog, the realm of the Fairies, he was raised as a Fairy Child, gaining many Faerie characteristics such as black eyes, pointed ears, paler skin, along with agility and finese as his blood transfused with the intense magic to become half-Fae . Upon reaching adulthood, his God-Mother took him under her wing as her personal representative between the Summer and Winter Courts, where he learned the byzantine intrigues of Fairy politics and the constant exchanges and bargains for greater power.
He hated his job as nothing but a dignified half-bred messenger, but being bound to his God-Mother he had little choice, until his God-Mother grew tired of him and gave him to both Queens of the Summer and Winter Courts as a gift they would have equal claim on depending on where his soul lay "hot" or "cold". Seeing the benefit in playing off of both sides, and knowing that even a half-Fae's soul alignment determined which court it was bound to serve, Gideon made certain to keep himself balanced in everything he did. He was inscrutable, one day he would help a particular Fae, the very next he would kick them out of the way. Another day he would kill troll, and in the next hour he would pay living expenses for that troll's wife. It was ludicrous, amoral, and extremely selfish, but that fit him right in with the Faeries and it secured him his position as Mediator between the Faeries of Summer and Winter, with the Queens, Lords, and Ladies of each side bidding with handsome bargains or ransoms for his services. This also included Fae dealings with other non-Fae races, where he kept up his strict philosophy of maintaining balance.
Thing got shaken up quite substantially when the Adversary conquered the Homelands, Tir Na Nog was shattered and the Faerie Queens took off to the Mundy World with as much of their Courts as they could. But even in the Mundy World, their rivalries persisted, and now they had the perfect targets to trick, bargain, and persuade into deals to take advantage of people, Mundies. As for Gideon, he found his role had changed now to that of a Diplomat from the Queens between the newly formed Fabletown and its administration, led by King Cole as Mayor, as the Queens did not wish to bring themselves together for fear of their combined magic causing havoc on the Mundie World at large, or simply drawing unwanted attention to The Woodlands. Now, he represents the interests of the Sidhe Courts working to ensure that they heard, and works to deal with what he calls their "domestic issues". Even having gone to a new world, some things never change.

Belongings: Small one bed-room apartment, number 33 on the third floor of a set of low rent Apartments several blocks away from The Woodlands "Lady Liberty Apartments". There he has an ice chest filled with bread and assorted veggies, dozens of candles, a writer's desk, a small Davenport sofa, and a puzzle-box safe wherein he keeps these items: A Fae-crafted Blade to symbolize his authority as Mediator, 13 ounces of gold exactly, and his records of Fairies and their correspondence, written in Irish Gaelic.

He wears a soul stone necklace (used to keep track of his alignment, it looks similar to a "Mood" stone), a key to the aforementioned safe, one set of jeans, a dark green overcoat, running shoes, and a baseball cap for the Celtics.
