Description

'Normal' age

A short, fluffy looking skunk with an odd coloration scheme. The colors are inverted, leaving most of him white, and the hair on his head and racing stripes aren’t black, but very dark reddish orange. He facial features are a bit rounded, but not to the point of being a total baby face. He has blue-orange heterochromatic eyes.

'Regressed' form

Much the same as above, same coloration, etc, but just different size and proportions that are befitting of his age. Much more rounded features.

History

Jolyon was an only child born to a fairly wealthy family on his world. He enjoyed a comfortable life, and was out exploring the large woods of his family’s estate when a spring erupted from the ground and formed a small pool of water around it. Jolyon, not thinking twice about strange pools of water that appear out of nowhere in a world filled with naturally occurring magical substances, decided to take a drink to cool off from the warm summer day. Within moments, he found himself regressed into the body of his two year old self.

He stumbled back to his home, and shortly afterwards a local Company specializing in pharmaceutical and magical substances, MacLaden, caught wind of it. After some brief negotiations, Jolyon was given a large share of the company’s stock and showed them where the fountain was. They began to research it immediately, and Jolyon demanded that they find a way to make him his regular self before they started to market a reverse engineered version of it. They did find a way, but the naturally occurring material was far more powerful than their solution could totally fix. This left Jolyon an adult most of the time, but prone to relapses of regression from the lingering effects of the fountain.
Shortly thereafter, MacLaden managed to market a reverse engineered, slightly toned down version of the Fountain of Youth water. At first it was used for rejuvenation treatments, but a highly watered down version that only triggered very short periods of regression became immensely popular for recreation.

MacLaden became an extremely rich company, and Jolyon was almost literally swimming in the money from the dividends his shares paid out. He attended an extravagant private school and went on to an even more extravagant university. He was working on his degree in metamagical-chemical engineering and working with some projects with MacLaden when he was brought off world. He was actively carrying a briefcase with a sealed container of FOY Solid and the FOY SS weapon when he migrated in.

Homeworld

Similar to modern earth technologically and culturally, geographically it is completely different, so places have different names, and a General blend of furries. Notable differences also include the existence of naturally occurring magics and mages. The Fountain of Youth is one such naturally occurring magic, and is one of the few that is replicated by meta-mages and marketed recreationally. All fountain of youth effects, save for that coming from the source itself, are only temporary, lasting only a few minutes to a few weeks at most. There is a rumor that there is an engineered agent that can cause permanent regression, but MacLaden denies those rumors, maintaining that only true FOY water can cause that.

Powers

Age regression relapse syndrome

After being exposed to rather large and pure quantities of Fountain of Youth water, his system has never fully worked out the effects of this magical substance, even with augmentation from MacLaden products. As such, while his normal form is that of an adult, he has sudden and unpredictable relapses of regression, as if he had been exposed to FOY water. These can last anywhere from a minute to a week. When they occur, he goes back at the rate of one year every 4 seconds, and will generally stabilize somewhere between ages 1 and 4, though him landing a bit above or below this is not entirely unheard of. The changes are never quite the same, there are a number of variables. His physical age is the main one, but the ‘maturity’ age of his clothes, mind, and things on his possession can also change. For example, in one regression his clothes might all shrink and become more juvenile with him, in another only his undergarments might. In another regression his age may go backwards and his mind retains full memory and abilities (Albeit with a shorter attention span), or in another his mind might change to fit his body.

The other side of the coin is when he changes back. If his mind was changed, most of the time it’ll go back with the body. The big variable here is clothes. Most of the time (more than 75%), if he’s in the same clothes he was in when he regressed down, they’ll change back with him when he reverts. Sometimes it varies in that when one garment will go forward, another will not; it’s not very predictable. However, if he is in different clothes when he reverts, those clothes have an equal chance of either not changing at all and getting torn to shreds when he goes up, or simply scaling up to his size, while not changing appearance.

Naturally, he’s pretty weak when regressed.

Life Elemental Abilities

Jolyon's soul was fused with sufficient quantities of life magic (Thanks to Nirender and a few other mages) that he now qualifies as a life elemental. This doesn't have much effect, but he now gives off an aura where touching or being close to him causes one to become filled with energy and euphoria. If concentrated enough, the effects can begin to resemble light FOY water exposure.
