_{Update 2011:}
Poor Morgan, I really have hit this long period where I can't for the life of me seem to draw his face properly, so he's been a bit neglected. Maybe this is a hint I should start on writing him instead.

Edit: Sorry, sorry, I forget the gender thing flips people out, I'm always forgetting to explain the story:

Morgan Foust was this kid, just some human kid in a big farming family in some obscure part of the country. Of all people she came into possession of a very infamous, very powerful, formerly very lost ancient book of dark magic. The spell that gave her powers was in that book. (She had no idea what she was messing with- if she had she'd have known that very spell has killed practically everyone it was cast on in its history.)

Anyways, she gets awesome powers, cannot wait to get away from home (partly to see the world, partly because dark magic is punishable by death in her homeland), goes out and has epic adventure time all over the damn planet using whatever human shape and persona she thought might be fun to use that day: any age, any sex, any race, any class, any build.

The thing you must, must, must understand about Morgan is that Morgan has no fixed sense of physical identity. (Like we know our bodies represent us as young or male or Asian or tall and we may come to act certain ways partly because we are treated certain ways.) Morgan is outside this. Morgan is a snaky puddle of slime. Any other form is a mask of this. Morgan thinks of themself as everything and nothing. Almost all traces of young/female/Honeyweller identity have been swept away after six years of changing shape dozens of times daily.

So why the warlock shape? Another story. Suffice it to say Morgan needed to become a very recognizable symbol of terror and destruction and so made a form towards these ends out of everything society sees as powerful and/or frightening: a tall, old, male, white warlock with an evil look. This is the body people have come to recognize Morgan in and Morgan's rather stuck with it since.

Morgan has no attachment to the male pronoun but people at large have come to think of him as male because of his infamous warlock shape and blush on his behalf when he's not referred to as a man. Morgan (and friends, and me) will use whichever pronoun applies to what he appears as at that moment and, like now, default to male for convenience and because of what I just said.

Morgan takes female shapes as often as male (and maybe more often: it's female dragons who breathe fire) and delights in scandalizing people who think this is disturbing (who, if they knew the whole story, might think it was disturbing that Morgan takes male shapes). Morgan thinks people are enormous derps for thinking a universal shapeshifter has or needs a sex. He'd never give you this whole explanation I'm giving you now, he'd just laugh at you and let you believe whatever keeps you sane.

<sub>May I take a moment to swear violently at the English language for having no decent neutered pronoun? DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT, ENGLISH, YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW COMPLICATED YOU MAKE THIS CRAP WHAT THE HECK??

Whew.</sub>

I hope that clears some of that up for you guys. Sorry, he is a bit tricky to understand.

I’ve felt for years and years that my little pool of major characters has been missing a significant chunk of… something. Apparently that something was Morgan, who I latched onto last fall and couldn’t stop drawing/writing with him for months. He’s totally the last piece in the puzzle, at least for now, and since I know he’s gonna be in for the long-haul like the other three, I might as well get his origins down while they’re fresh in my mind.

Yeah, the rough concept behind Morgan did come from a wacky dream but that’s about it. I will sheepishly take full credit for all the nonsense he is today. :3
