Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
Magic Power: All in all Jareth is a powerful magician and that is shown by one of his most notable creations, the Labyrinth. He is also shown to have quite the magic power in more of the mental state as opposed to most elemental magic.
Owl: Jareth's former way to get to and fro the mortal realm but since The Gamemaster has brought Jareth here he doesn't need it so he can use this form to fly around as an owl when needed.
Illusionist: Jareth is a well balanced illusionist as well, being able to hide himself by a fake self created from illusions. He also can form illusionary walls as well so there is much more aside from that to his power in the end. He also uses his illusionary power to give people nightmares and to trap them into a wide based illusion, having them fall from illusion made walls, glass, being trapped, etc.
Telepath: Jareth can speak to a person via their mind, unless of course they have their mind barred from such a thing, this can only be used as a speaking tool, nothing more nothing less.
Crystal Ball Manipulation: One of Jareth's most iconic power. This ability allows him to form crystal balls out of thin air and manipulate them as however he allows. From making five from one and five into one he can preform a few amazing and a few deadly actions with the crystal balls, them being his main magical property. He can activate any machine by throwing a ball at the machine, he can peer upon whoever and whatever he dreams of, a dream being what you desire to have most, And he is able to transform the orbs into a slew of things ranging from a snake into a scarf.
Gravity Defiance: Jareth can defy the laws of gravity and is able to waltz right up wall, buildings and so forth as though it takes no thought to do so.
Weaknesses:
Physical Strength: Jareth isn't that skillde when it comes to physical feats so some people could easily over power him in that form of fighting.
Short Tempered: Jareth is quite the short tempered man as shown when his goblin subjects didn't laugh at his jokes so he kicked one across a room so he can be angered easily, which can be a flaw when in the midst of public and other events.

Personal Information
Personality:
Jareth has been noted to be a little strange, well he is the king of the goblins in any case. Jareth is the type of man who is short of temper with his subjects and anyone aside from a select few. When someone doesn't laugh at his jokes he tends to get snappy and pauses whatever he's doing at the moment to tell whoever it is in his presence to laugh, whether or not the joke is funny. Though Jareth is quite a trickster and takes enjoyment in confusing people, one of the reasons for building The Labyrinth. He also at one point took joy in terrorizing Sarah with his illusions, giving her nightmares and other panic attack like situations.
He's also very compassionate about love, music and other pleasurable things. He can come up with a song at random no matter the situation and sing the whole thing and he has his own odd style of dancing. His compassion about love is a rare sight in the end, being how it took Sarah not forcing Jareth to love her but he fell in love with her at his own time, showing he doesn't want to force anything as passionate as love on anyone, though Sarah was a different case in the end.
Jareth also has a love for magic. No matter what magic it is he enjoys it greatly. Seeing how it helps him torment people with magic. Being how the Labyrinth was quite the case when it came to magic abilities it sort of shows he has no hesitation with using magic.
He also takes an interest in human affairs seeing how they amuse him from time to time, such as Toby did. While he rarely interferes with human affairs he shows to enjoy human interaction because of his love to dance, such as going to a ball or whatever situation it may be.
History:
Around his hundredth birthday Jareth attended a ball and met a woman named Mizumi. Now this woman had interested Jareth greatly. So much so that he decided to dance with her and in the end run away with her. He treasured Mizumi's company greatly and often had a fun time with her. Telling Jokes, laughing, singing and above all else he wanted to see if she could obtain his heart but he needed the proper setting.
One day while roaming Jareth and Mizumi met the goblins. They had amused Jareth because of their idiocy and he just found them amusing. Though Because of jareth's not so kind rule over the goblins, Mizumi had protested to what Jareth was doing. But in the mean time as well, Jareth used quite a bit of his magic power to create the labyrinth as a defense around his kingdom, so people couldn't just waltz right up and over take it. But because of Mizumi's protest he offered her a challenge. If she could travel The Labyrinth and find his heart he would leave with her and leave the goblins to enjoy life without Jareth's harsh rule.
Accepting Jareth's challenge, Mizumi braved the Labyrinth in hopes to change Jareth. But in the end she failed. Disappointed and no longer interested with Mizumi, Jareth had banned her from his realm with the goblins. That was over 1300 years ago.
Over the years people wished their babies away to Jareth, but over the years this had declined so no one summoned him anymore, until one night, Sarah, a girl who Jareth had interest in before she had made the wish.
Sarah was irritated by her younger step-brother, Toby. Sarah had a large interest in fairy tales which Jareth and his kingdom fell into story books and fairy tales. Knowing the way to wish her brother away, Sarah did so. Though she didn't think it would of truly happened. But that very night, Jareth and a few goblins entered the mortal realm and stole the baby who was wished away, Toby.
Sarah pleaded and asked where Jareth had stolen her baby brother away to. Jareth invited Sarah to his realm and gave her thirteen hours to retrieve her baby brother by traversing the Labyrinth.
He proceeded to go off and return to his castle and began playing with Toby which had made Jareth greatly amused by Toby. Singing and in other ways appeasing the baby-boy. Jareth decided that one day Toby would take his kingdom as an heir but it would have to wait in the end.
Jareth heard that that coward Hoggle was assisting Sarah through the Labyrinth which irritated him greatly. He then appeared before the two and asked Hobble what he was doing, knowing what the goblin was doing. But Sarah had spoken up and said that the Labyrinth was a piece of cake which in turn had caused Jareth to lower the time in which Sarah could obtain Toby and he had the cleaners attack the two.
Later on in he finds Hoggle, and gives hobble a fruit that will make Sarah forget everything, he then returns to his castle after harassing Hoggle once more.
After terrorizing Sarah once more, Jareth was told that Sarah had infiltrated the goblin city. Which leads him to run off with Toby into a strange staircase maze. When Sarah is about to obtain Toby, Jareth warps the time and space of the staircase maze and he confronts her once more time, in which he confesses his love for her and she only need to fear, love and obey him. But she turns him down and that causes Jareth to be overpowered. He then returned her to her realm after being defeated.
Sample Post
"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Oh how I miss you in this petty land with these idiots. These boggles and foggles and hobbles." The Goblin King gave a soft sigh as he moved a set of four crystal balls in his hand in a quite odd matter. He gazed out to his labyrinth a small ever present grin across his face. He stood and the orbs vanished from his hands, perhaps it would be fun to peer into the human world of earth. Then again, he was feeling something happening to his realm, it was like a shaking, a giant moving. He felt everything and heard everything that went on in his realm, and despite living here for the last thousand or so years, this was strange. He raised an eyebrow at one of his goblin servants. "Well?" He asked waiting for them to scurry off to look at was happening.[/size]
He waited a few minutes when one of his goblin soldiers reported that the land surrounding the labyrinth had changed. That more advanced and higher buildings now towered over, how odd indeed. He raised an eyebrow as he appeared at the end of his labyrinth. Well then, that was odd, but to explore now or later was the question. Eh he could just have a squad of soldiers patrol and who knows, chaos was always fun as well. In any case this would have a new excitement to the current drabness of his current day to day life.
He appeared back into his throne room and gazed out of a window. Tomorrow he would go and enjoy himself. Who knows, someone could stumble upon his great maze sooner or later, whatever came first. He rotated a crystal orb across his finger and chuckled, his grin becoming larger. He tossed the orb up and it floated out the window. Jareth eyed it closely until it feel out of his range of vision.
Jareth then shooed off a group of goblins to go check it out. He sat up and moved over to his closet. What costume would he wear today? He grabbed his cloak which had a fairly large collar and that drifted down to the ground. He draped it over himself and sat back down onto his throne, rotating four orbs over his hand.
