Character

Not many trolls actively choose to settle in the far North, where it's renowned for being colder, lonelier, and deadlier than anywhere else on the planet. Nihmyr didn't either, but for some mysterious reason, after she emerged victorious from her trials, she was quickly and quietly flown out to the middle of nowhere and then promptly forgotten about amongst the snowbanks. At least the drones still bothered with building a hive for her. So, there was Nihmyr's unceremonious start to life, a misplaced troll told to 'make it' in a harsh world she had no idea how to survive in.

Nihmyr's not sure if she could really pinpoint a start to her powers being weird. They've just kind of always been spotty, bringing down the pre-installed heating system in her hive almost immediately once she became settled in. Then came her blowing out the lights- only candles from then on. Gradually, as Nihmyr learned what did and didn't trigger her powers, she learned how to get through life without relying on the comforts of modern-day technology (even if it would be really useful). One day she might have her powers figured out, but until then she's cool living without the hassle of technology.

Abilities

WINTER WONDERLAND WARRIOR: Living among the snowy peaks of Alternia's northern tundra means that you're a hunter, willing to fight every day just to survive. Though she may have been dropped in the north for it to kill her, the tundra has instead hardened Nihmyr's will to live and, with the help of many of her community members, taught her how to dominate the landscape instead of it overpowering her. Her training has made it so that she's practically an expert (or at least an expert-in-training) in traversing, guarding, and ruling the snow and ice for as far as the eye can see.

TECHNOLOGY TERRORIZER: Most goldbloods have a connection to technology that comes along with their powers. Nihmyr's got one, too- only this connection is much more like a bad relationship with terrible communication than most others. Rather than being able to do anything productive or constructive with their powers, it seems that Nihmyr's only consistent ability is to fry whatever circuit they're closest to. They're certainly capable of making a useful connection- there've been plenty of times where their powers work exactly as intended- but surely enough, sooner or later there is certain to be another loud *POP*, followed by some crackling that definitely wasn't supposed to happen. Even worse- it goes off even when they're not trying to do anything!

Notes

• Nihmyr loves soup of all kinds. It's her favorite type of food.
• Her lusus, an electricity-generating hornet, can't handle the outside cold and as such is confined to the inside of their hive.
• Nihmyr is a sharpshoot with a snowball in hand and is renowned for taking people out of snowball fights with well-placed shots.
• Her mittens, scarves, and socks are all handmade by her. She crochets, knits, and sometimes embroiders her clothes.
• Nihmyr is Feral and has a tail. It doesn't outwardly affect her very much, but may be part of the reason why her powers are so haywire.

Relationships

Krabuf Kylver [ Local Viking Bro ]

From one feral to the next, Krabuf has been helping out little Nihmyr since she was just starting out in the North. Krabuf has excellent advice for all situations life-and-death related, like friendships and fixing one's clothes, not just ones life-or-death related, like fighting or looking for food.

Nishka Hiemal [ Avalanche ArtiCat ]

Nishka's been the one making sure that Nihmyr can keep herself alive when her powers mean she can't call on anyone for help. Her experience and skills in navigating and surviving the harsh terrain of the arctic are critical in ensuring that the next generation doesn't end up dead in a ditch somewhere.
