Mother: Fandra
Siblings: None
Other: None

Strengths:[/size] His deal-making and magic, cunning, being an imp gives him more agility
Weaknesses:[/size] He can be trapped by the magic of his deals, which he must abide by. While the magic of his deals is absolute, he wasn’t trained and is unable to fully control other forms of his magic. For reasons he does not know, if he’s trapped in a circle of salt, coal, and ash of an elder tree, his magic is rendered useless and he is rendered immobile.
Personality:[/size][/font] Rumplestiltskin is very powerful, but his power has driven him mad over the years. He is obsessed with power and becoming more powerful, both magically and through acquisition of gold, which he spins from straw. He desperately wants to entrap royalty into a deal of his so that he can puppeteer them and by proxy, control a kingdom.
He is particularly disdainful of love, but does not underestimate the powerful magic trapped within True Love, because it can undo many different forms of magic. But he’s also disdainful of love because he, himself, has been jilted by a former love, which inspired him to become powerful to prove to himself that he is worthy of love, though ironically, he no longer is seen that way by the rest of the Kingdoms. He loves that people come to him for help, but doesn’t realize that they come to him because they have no other options.
He is incredibly short-tempered and in the course of a conversation, he can bounce between emotions at lightning speed, sometimes in the course of the same sentence.
Rumple is a notorious braggart, about his magic in particular. Though few, if any, know that he can’t control a lot of his magic, he’s good at making it seem that way. He likes to disorient and intimidate people by flitting around them in conversation by use of magic. Short-range transportation being one of the few spells he’s actually mastered.
Eyes:[/size] An eerily luminescent green
Hair:[/size] Brown
Physique:[/size]Rumplestiltskin is diminutive in stature and incredibly lean. His size gives him a low center of gravity and thus he is able to move around incredibly quickly. He aids his already heightened Imp agility with the use of his magic.

History: [/font]Rumplestiltskin was born to an Imp father and a Sprite mother, making him incredibly short, even for Imps. He was steered toward the darker side of things growing up by his father. When he was young, he fell in love with a Fairy. He did everything he could to impress her, but to no avail. When she rebuked his love because he was not powerful, he grew angry and vengeful. The only solution, he thought, was to become the epitome of power. The source of power for Fairies was their magic, so he decided to become magically powerful.
Since Imps rarely are born with any magical talents of their own, this posed a problem until he met a foolhardy wizard. Rumplestiltskin made a deal with the wizard, who had been bragging about how powerful he was. According to the terms of the deal, if the Wizard could not use magic to make a local peasant girl fall in love with him within one year’s time, he would have to relinquish his magic. In arrogance, the wizard accepted the offer, thinking that it would be very simple, but found that no matter what he did, his magic could not influence this girl to love him. One year later, the Wizard held up his end of the bargain and gave his magic to Rumplestiltskin. It was then that he learned how powerful deals could be and began making deals to gain knowledge and power.
Not satisfied with only magic, he also learned to be powerful in a money-sense, too. He learned how to spin simple straw into chains of gold. When news hit him of a miller’s daughter who could do the same thing, he tracked her down to find that her father had over-exaggerated her talent, and she could not. If she didn’t accomplish the task, she would be put to death, however if she did, she would become a dutchess. Knowing the power of having a person so high in society in debt to him, he offered a simple bargain: In exchange for spinning the straw into gold and insuring her survival, but also social elevation, he wanted her first-born son. She eagerly accepted. Night after night, he appeared and spun the straw into gold until the Duke was satisfied of her abilities. He married the miller’s daughter and she became a Dutchess. Not long after that, it was announced that the Dutchess was with child, and not long still after, that a son had been born.
Rumplestiltskin appeared to her, to collect his bounty, but she had forgotten him, and loved her son. He allowed a new deal to be reached. She had three days to guess his name. If she succeeded, she could keep her child. If she failed, the child was his. The first two days, she named names all day long, but none of them were correct. When he left the castle the second night, she had people follow him and learned his name by cheating. When Rumplestiltskin appeared the third day, she guessed a few more names, but then said his name. Furious, he left the castle, swearing revenge on her and the entire family, and in the end, was able to use magic to kill them all.
At first, Rumplestiltskin was upset with the fact he allowed magic to take him to that place, but when he remembered how she cheated, he then felt justified. From then on, there were no second chances. To renege on a deal with him would mean death and forfeit of any magical abilities.
Over the years, Rumplestiltskin has amassed quite a bit of power and quite a bit of gold. He is not satisfied, though. Many people know that he wants to become ruler of his kingdom, The Third Kingdom, but he has yet to challenge King Harold or Morgana le Fay for the position. The real reason being he doesn’t know enough about his own magic to be able to defeat Morgana, but most thing he’s just biding his time until he will strike. The fear that causes is the only reason he has allowed that rumor to persist.

Role-play Example:
(From an OC I created for an AU X-Men board)
His father was a blue-collar worker, and his mom was a homemaker. They wanted something better for him, so they pushed him to do well. He worked incredibly hard in school to get into law school, graduated in the top ten percent of his class, and went on to become the District Attorney. But Caleb Malachai was hiding a secret, a secret so big that it could cost him everything. District Attorney Malachai was a mutant.
What was worse was that Caleb’s power helped him get to his current position. And right now, he was sitting across from a man whom he was fairly certain was guilty. “Mr. Daniels, I want you to look me in the eye, and tell me what happened that night.” As soon as eye contact was established, he began using his power. He could feel his will pressing against the accused criminal’s. It was a strange sensation, but one that was very familiar to him. His will began to overcome the criminals in a manner he likened to bending a green twig. Too much pressure too quickly, the twig would snap. But slow, steady pressure, one could ply the twig however one wanted. The criminal had no choice but to obey. His voice took on a far-away tone.
“I went to the victim’s house,” he said. “She started yelling at me and I got angry.”
“Did you harm her?” Caleb asked.
“No,” he answered. “When she asked me to leave, I called her a f****** b**** and I left.”
“Did you return after?”
“Only when she didn’t answer my calls two days later. I wanted to make sure she was okay,” he replied.
“Even after how you left it?” Caleb was confused.
“Yes, I love her.”
“Thank you for your cooperation Mr. Daniels,” Caleb said, his voice as smooth as silk. Now when I look away, you’re not going to remember this. You’re going to be a little confused, too. But you’re going to feel safe. And you’re going to cooperate with the investigations. Do you understand, Mr. Daniels?”
“Yes sir,” he confirmed.
“Good,” Caleb said, flashing that debonair smile. Stopping a bending session was just as tedious as entering one. To relent all at once could leave Mr. Daniels with an altered impression of the memories Caleb had just forced him to recount. It could also rebound Mr. Daniels’ will onto himself, knocking him out for a time. Slowly, Caleb retracted his will, finally blinking and severing the connection as he looked down.
“What’s going on?” Mr. Daniels asked hazily.
