( personality )
easily amused and easily impressed. sharp tongue hidden underneath the facade of humour, he's more likely to nod and let someone get themselves worked up than offer a solution to their problem. you've got to specifically ask for his help to receive it, but sometimes he'll throw a bone. skeletons in his closet means he's aloof and distant. don't expect to pull him apart easily, find any loyalty or attachment with him. mortecai's in no rush for anything. he runs on his own schedule, regardless to any impatience you might have because of this.

( likes & dislikes )

finger foods, organic sweets, a sense of humor, confidence, sleeping in late, unconventional beauty

fruit flavored drinks, the aesthetic of most gas stations, fluorescent lighting, unchecked aggression and unnecessary violence

( history )
we'll keep this short and sweet. he's from new york. didn't have a very good life, lots of foster homes and orphanages that didn't know how to handle him. eventually graduated with a GED, moved down south to help peddle big ancient mansions while getting a license for it and found himself with a touch of magic. found a teacher that he eventually surpassed, who knows where they might be now. six feet under? oh dear. mortecai doesn't boast, but he's dodged a lot of bullets. against all odds, found himself pretty comfortable.
