Background

Charon was born as Charon Applecheeks, the son of a mountain hag and a very unlucky mortal mountain man. Growing up he was routinely beaten down and insulted by his mother as he worked on their small apple orchard in the mountains and having to deal with her cruelty. Till one night he managed to sneak into the orchard and set it ablaze, planting a blade of a local townsfolk to trick his mother into attacking the wrong person so he could make his great escape. Now on the run from his mother and naming himself 'Goodchild' he is on a search for his own freedom, revenge, and something he calls 'his missing heart'.

Personality

Charon is easily irritable and snappish, though this is mostly due to his stunted emotional growth having to deal with his mother on his own. He's quick to tell others he's 'fine' when he really isn't due to having little capacity to understand others may actually care for him. And while he has little sympathy for those he beats down when pressed or fight, he doesn't take particular pleasure in the deed.

In the truth of things he's very lonely and does desire companionship. But he is plagued with self esteem issues believing he's not worthy of friends due to his mother's cruelty or no one will be there for him, which leads him to be slightly standoffish and determined to be 'strong' even if he has no real idea what that means. And when someone does offer him friendship he's unsure and keeps thinking there's another angle, though he recognizes it is an effect of his upbringing and has to remind himself sometimes a kindness is just a kindness.

Charon calls himself 'Goodchild' due to a desire to actually be good and help out others. Though he has little knowledge on what that actually means in the grand scheme of things, due to how Hags in general see things in the inverse. Pretty is ugly, ugly is beautiful, and wickedness is holiness to most Hags, and Charon spends his time trying to unlearn this mindset so he can actually be good. While he can take most insults at him, with various degrees of muttering and grumbling, one thing that will make him snap is seeing someone else being brutalized as he was. It triggers bad memories to him.

Powers

Hagspawn - Due to his mother being a mountain hag, his bones, teeth, and nails are actually iron. As such he's extremely heavy and his physical strength is great, and his blows can be felt as getting battered by a sledgehammer. His iron nails and teeth are always growing, so he'll routinely lose some of them only for them to regrow back a few days later.

Mountain Magic- Though he doesn't have the magic of his mother which is a sore spot for him, he has picked up two tricks. Namely able to generate a thick billowing mountain fog that is very hard for others to see through. A trick he uses to blindside others, or to make a hasty escape. The other is the ability to grow apple trees relatively quickly.

Apple knowledge - He has weirdly specific knowledge on apples, their uses in medicine and agriculture, and how to make meals out of them. Which he claims comes from the fact he lived on an enchanted apple orchard for all his life and therefore subsisted on nothing but apples basically.

Strengths

His iron boned body makes him extremely heavy and very hard to move, and lets him take a hell of a beating.

The fact his teeth and claws are made of iron makes him great at fighting against others who are weak to Iron, like other fey creatures.

He is a fantastic cook as long as it involves apples.

Loyal to those he cares about, and caring in his own odder ways.

Weaknesses

Due to his body being of iron bone, electrical attacks are very effective on him. He's also basically a massive lightning rod. And if he's on a fragile surface like thin ice, he will break it and sink.

A tad clumsy due to his awkward height and weight make him ungainly and hard to keep his balance

Is plagued by self esteem issues and somewhat gullible about the wider world around him

Stubborn as a mule and twice as hostile when his hackles are raised
