Harleykin

Harleykin are a race of beings related to the fay folk, who have unknown origins, but have spread worldwide.

Appearance
Harleykin are a...strange-looking race, to say the least. Their skin tends to run in shades ranging from as dark as pale peach to apricot to actually white. Their hair tends to range in a variety of colors and patterns, and their eyes also range in colors. They tend to have markings on their faces, which vary between individuals. Some individuals, though not all, may have red markings around their lips, and the ends of their noses may be red and abnormally large, as well. Also, Harleykin possess their ancestral trait of pointed ears.

Personality
Harleykin are a fairly chaotic race, personality-wise. They believe life is a game, and tend to love playing games and pranks. They mostly use these pranks and games to spread laughter, which they feed on like a vampire feeds on blood, or a zombie feeds on brains. However, there are some who use their pranks to spread fear, which affects them in a way similar to hard drugs on humans (especially in the fact that it's addictive). Harleykin, similar to most beings, mate for life, and tend to have one child at a time, though multiple births are not uncommon.

Powers

 * Cartoon physics: Harleykin possess the ability to use the physics of cartoons to their advantage (e.g., using an umbrella as a parachute, defying gravity until they remember gravity's effect, survive being flattened like a pancake, etc.)
 * Elasticity: Harleykin, as a result of the above power, have the ability to stretch and deform their bodies into any form imaginable.
 * Geliovorous: Harleykin feed off of laughter, and become better physically, as if they eat solid food like other beasts and beings.
 * Phobovorous: Harleykin sometimes feed on fear, and become better physically, however, unlike laughter, this comes at a cost (because it's as addictive as hard drugs for humans).
