Profile
Born into an impoverished section of the Northern Districts, Sven learned to take care of themself from a very young age. Resultant of this, they carry themself with a somewhat aloof, indifferent domeanor- yet is nonetheless amicable, warmhearted, and personable enough for people to find a strange fondness towards them. For a long time, Sven has gone under the nickname Snow- a reference towards both their soft, white fur. The moniker was additionally created from their unique affinity towards Aspect- which is imbued with the elemental charge of ice.
Snow generally had employed his ever-increasing-through-training skills with Aspect in freelance gigs as a bodyguard and bouncer for various individuals and establishments- though as of late has become a hired mercenary of the False Cross Company. Having a soft core deep down, Snow generally prefers to use his powers for nonlethal and defensive purposes rather than offensive, taking a much more supportive role in missions. His impressive capabilities, combined with a chill temperment once his exterior guard of stoicism is lowered, makes Snow is nothing if not respectable- both as a person a nd a combatant.
Within the False Cross Company, Snow is generally well-liked- especially in terms of relatively fresh blood, his handiness with firearms and commendable Aspect skill making him a valuable asset. Snow gets along quite well with a trio carved from him and two other comrades- Rye, another recent hire, and Shiloh, the more experienced of the three. Secretively, Snow's been allowing a thief, Jayde, to elude any reprocussions for his burglaring ways- feeling a strange keenness towards the cat thief and wishing to approach him once the chance presents itself.
Snow's main directive is to continually train, both in terms of raw combat prowess and in terms of harnessing his Aspect powers. This motivation is the culmination of several combined desires- that of protecting those he cares for, and wishing to feel a sense of usefulness, companionship, and belonging which they've struggled to attain. Consequently, Snow generally acts in a deeply kind and empathetic way to those he feels fond towards, and will passionatelt
- Snow greatly prefers their moniker to their birth name.
- The pet name 'Snowie' was courtesy of Niles, mainly as a tease towards the oh-so-reserved white cat.
- Despite an ostensibly tough and uncaring exterior (that cracks as soon as genuinely approached), Snow is something of an emotional idealist- acting on impulse and feelings more than cold, rational thought. They'll throw themselves in harms way to protect a friend without a second thought.
- Their elemental charge of ice is the result of having endured cold, harsh winters without heat nor a roof. Because of this elemental affinity, they're utterly indifferent to the cold- able to walk through a blizzard in light clothes as if it was merely a mild autumn day.
- Snow knows ballet, having watched instructional videos in private. In public, though, they'd rather dance in any other style.
- As part of their learned self-sufficiency, Snow is quite a competent cook, and will gladly whip up meals for a guest.
- Snow is able to freeze the immediate air around them into ice, allowing for the creation of weapons, protectice ice walls, and self-encasement in ice cacoons.
- The effectiveness of the ice falls of severely after around 10 meters, being little more than a cool chill past 30 meters. Because of this, Snow uses firearms for long range attacks. Snow can launch ice projectiles, mainly icicles, to attack beyond a 30 meter range, though this process is less efficient than guns.
- When in a state of heightened power or concentration, Snow's freezing ability allows the archaic to be frozen as well- such as a person's thoughts, or even time itself (albeit for mere seconds at a time due to the exertion it requires).
