CREATURE INFORMATION
Do they have any abilities related to their species? If yes, explain.
positive aspects of their ability(ies): dark unseelie - elemental power over darkness and shadows, he controls, conjures and commands shadows. illusion's flare - with the power over darkness and shadows, caligo can manipulate the fragmenting of light, by creating illusions and nightmares || tied to darkness - the more darkness there is, the stronger / better his illusions / nightmares are. vulnerable to daylight ( he technically can cast them during the day, but they shatter and dissolve easily and it just ain't worth it. ) negative aspects of their ability(ies): shadow shock - the delulu is strong in this one. he is very susceptible to shadow and darkness induced bouts of madness ( physically manifesting as charcoal black fingers, the indicator that there's too much darkness used and is now seeping out of him through his skin -- no, does not stain the clothes, objects or other creatures. he also tends to mutter to himself most of the time and can sometimes use a "royal we / us" no one dares correct him. )
do they have any above average abilities related to their species?
above average strength? no above average intelligence? yes above average agility? no above average durability? no special abilities? yes. he can actually conjure shadows out of thin air ( or some reserve in his own soul ) and he can see them as sentient entities ( can find knowledge from them, see where they've been and what parts of the world/darkness they originate from, then pull the noise/gossip/info from there )
what are some things they know how to do that are NOT based on their species?
he weaves. the loom. the spindle. the bone carving and wood carving.
what is their relationship to their house?
How do they feel towards to other members of the house? he is pretty much exasperated with the Moonfangs, but then again he's exasperated with everyone. as their advisor, he will always strive to advise them well and keep them from making any potentially fatal mistakes. he's side eyeing their sudden desire to climb the power ladder and is already sighing at the headache it'll give him.
what is their relationship with other houses?
Are there any houses that they hate/love/tolerate? Are they looking for an alliance with a specific house? no and no. he tolerates everyone as he's too old to really do anything but roll his eyes at petty squabbles and power struggles, but he's also side-eyeing pretty much everyone because he knows where those petty squabbles usually lead to.
What is their goal this season?
to help the moonfangs gracefully and with dignity achieve their goals. he is hopeful but not going to lie, he ain't that sure about the success of it.
what are some connections your character would like to form?
old friends. kindred souls. someone he can drink and judge others with.
HEADCANONS.
Born unseelie with an aptitude for darkness and shadows, Caligo had long since come to terms with his uncanniness. In fact, he thrived in it. The eerie smile here and there kept him out of any matchmaking ways as while the dark power was desirable, the madness manifesting upon the eyes and the flesh certainly was not. Still, while he was content and at peace in living his life in total solitude, fate had other plans - a love match with a witchen from the moon coven.
but, happiness seldom lasts forever.
Left alone once more after nearly two centuries of bliss and content, Caligo left the cottage they lived in and found employment with the Moonfangs, as an advisor - sought out for his knowledge and keen insight, he could pick and choose the house, but the wolves seemed in a desperate need of solid council. Working for them for the last hundred or so years had been decent - even if he sometimes plays nanny with their younglings - especially when the latter misbehave.
He is absolutely uninterested and already done and tired with the upcoming season.
