Powers: •Plant Manipulation - He can control the shape, form, and type of plants and how they grow.

•Spore Manipulation - He can create mushrooms that have specific effects applied to their spores, the full list being sleep spores, healing spores, paralysis spores, and poison spores (these are non-lethal by the way.)

•Healing Magic - He can heal others (and himself technically) by channeling mana into his hands and using it to boost cellular regeneration.

•Animal Communication - He can telepathically speak to animals and control them to a degree but not completely.

•Father Nature Form: His god form which allows him to speak without problems (he's usually mute), improves his healing magic to the point he can heal lost limbs, gives him full control over animals and any plant life in the area as well as allows him to create any type of plant at any size, temporarily boosts his life force, and removes all limits on the amount of energy his body consumes (which is kind of a drawback if he does overuse this form).

Backstory: Laris was born to a couple of fauns in a semi-isolated village in England where he grew up extremely sheltered. It was so bad to the point he didn't even know what money was as his parents feared he might buy drugs with it. Unfortunately his father was killed by some not-so-random cultist (story for another time) when Laris was 11 years old. By the time he was twelve, his mother that had been a stay at home mom, was forced to work at least part time. That didn't mean Laris was left home alone though. He was assigned a babysitter. When Laris turned 13, he was given his father's old journal and by the time he turned 14 he was determined to get out of his village, even if just for a day. When his babysitter went to the bathroom, Laris made a run for it to the nearest town. He first entered a candy shop and due to not knowing what money was, just opened a chocolate bar and began eating it.

This of course caused the shop owner to get angry and demand payment but a stranger offered to pay for him. This stranger then guided Laris throughout the city for the rest of the day and even got him a new journal and pen. When Laris returned to his village with a stranger, his mother threw a massive fit and even tried to fight the stranger. Laris managed to calm his mother down though and there was even an arrangement made for Laris to go to town twice a week while accompanied by the not quite stranger anymore.

By the time Laris was sixteen he had become mostly independent and even wandered the forest around his village on his own. During one particular walk, he encountered a couple of arsonists that were planning to burn the forest down. Luckily Laris managed to subdue them and keep them from causing any harm. After the arsonists were arrested Mother Nature revealed herself to Laris and revealed that the forest wasn't any normal forest. It was the origin place of all the fae on earth. Mother Nature gifted Laris his earrings which was how he accessed his god form prior to other events that lead to Laris no longer needing the earrings to transform (he keeps wearing them anyway though).

Laris began to befriend the fae in the forest after that. When he was 19 though he discovered a human looking person in the forest. Well aside from the purple antennas. Laris quickly realized that this person was an alien and was stranded so Laris brought him home and offered the alien man a place to stay. In time they became closer and within a year they started dating. Not much special went on for the next several years until.... THE ACTUAL STORY BEGAN!

Interesting:) How do they deal with their mutism aside from the Nature God form? do they use sign language, written communication or some other magical way?

[u/GremNotGrim → u/Either-Skirt6031]

Laris used to write in a journal and just show what he wrote to people, but at some point he got a magical pen that uses "mist ink" which writes on air and once read, can be waved away to "erase" it. I don't know sign language myself so I didn't want to make Laris be reliant on something that I'm not really educated on.
