Fear Me, Love Me...
Yeah, I'm sure every single one of you can finish that quote.

How come no one thought to play him before? Am I really the first to bring him to WC?

This is Dawn, bringing you Jareth the Goblin King. From Labyrinth. If you don't know that movie then... OMG GO GET IT AND WATCH IT! NAO!

His bio is in his journal, but a few Jareth fun facts:

1. He can shapeshift, but only as an owl.
2. He likes watching people. Seriously. In that creepy stalker sort of way.
3. He is extremely vain.
4. He loathes his goblins and will be quite glad to be rid of them, actually.
5. He thinks he's better than pretty much everyone.
6. He likes women. Pretty, smart women.
7. He is movie-verse only. Nothing in that Manga sequel they made is part of this characterization of him.
8. There is no #8
9. He resents his position as Goblin King, but likes being in charge of things.
10. Schadenfreude. He loves it.

I'm going to be playing him as really displaced, confused and a bit scared (though he'd never admit it) at being taken away from what he knows and being dumped in the City. So if he comes off a bit... off, to your characters. It's the sudden displacement that has him panicking. The whole being stuck is really going to bother him.

Let's play!

	Baba wants. After all, he's magically delicious? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He is magically delicious, isn't he? Baba can totally have. We should thread, oui? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Baba wants her own personal collection of magical types. Yes, we should definitely thread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jareth might not want to be collected. But a thread would be lots of fun! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He might not have a choice? Who knows what goes on in that head of hers - I don't. She's gotta find the leprechaun again. He seemed tasty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	LOL We SO need another Sweeney/Baba thread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! Think her house creeped him out enough to make him fear her! Fear her, I say, fear her! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	YES! PHEAR! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He will tower over her and sneer. I see it now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With a cigarette dangling out of his mouth, while wearing some tacky t-shirt that proclaims he's had it up to here with midgets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very funny. Jareth and Sweeney and Baba! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes, I know that icon doesn't fit the fear - it makes me giggle to do that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
