Personality
It's no surprise that someone with coolant for blood has a cold personality. Hes' prone to snapping at literally anything he deems to be a waste of time, and is generally a pretty creepy and unsettling person to be around. He feels that his life should be entirely dedicated to his work and anything that isn't work isn't worth his acknowledgement, and would die to protect anyone suffering from the effects of their freezing world. While he doesn't hate himself and has a sense of self-respect, Hibaske has no sense of self love and views himself simply as a tool to be used in saving the lives of others. This causes him to overwork himself and believe that he has no reason to live outside of fulfilling his purpose, which he is content with. He becomes upset when told he has more of a purpose than just his research, stating that he was specially bred to and was given his abilities specifically for his purpose. His colleagues are unsure if this is due to faulty programming in the self-awareness system that helps give him human-like intelligence, or if he was conditioned to have no sense of self love, due to being treated more like research material rather than an actual pet or person, but they tend to avoid the topic around him to avoid upsetting him or sending him into a crisis. The other scientists do respect and love him, but realize that he is technically an experimental research subject, and treat him as such.
Appearance
Hibaske is a rather large dog with several mechanical parts, most of them filled with antifreeze to prevent himself from freezing in constant sub-zero temperatures. These mechanical parts cannot be removed, as they act as part of his circulatory system. The antifreeze can turn from blue to florescent orange when exposed to air. His glasses, teeth, and hair are asymmetrical, and he wears a star shape pin on his collar.
Quirks & Habits
- If Hibaske plans to do any intense physical activity, he tends to sleep heavily for a day beforehand to lower the level of antifreeze in his blood
- While Hibaske doesn't have much of a sense of humor, the one thing he enjoys is creeping others out, as he's learned to accept that his intelligence and tech is rather odd
- Hibaske can come off as rather serious and snappy, because he quite literally is all about work
- Hibaske is extremely strict when it comes to planning, routine, and being on time. He will literally follow a routine down to the second. This is because all of Hibaske's higher functions are controlled by his computer, which doesn't quite have the flexibility of a normal human mind.
TV tropes
- Intellectual Animal Hibaske is literally a dog with a supercomputer in his body.
- It's Personal Hibaske's main motivation is to make sure no one ever dies from the deadly temperatures ever again, as Achroma did.
- Science Hero Hibaske seeks to find the cause of the Earth's cooling and reverse it with science.
- Smart People Wear Glasses Not only is he intelligent, but he does indeed sport sturdy, thin-rimmed glasses that both help him see and reduce the glare of snow and ice.
- The Stoic Hibaske knows the purpose he was bred for, and he doesn't have time to engage in anything that won't further his purpose
Backstory
Hibaske is an experiment created by Achroma labs to test the possibility of survival in extreme climates, due to rapidly dropping temperatures. He was one of the many puppies chosen to be part of the experiment after multiple successes on lab rats. These puppies underwent a process that turned their blood to antifreeze to prevent them from freezing in extremely frigid temperatures, then were placed in cryogenic chambers. After 5 years in the chambers, Hibaske was the only survivor, and one of the lead scientists, Cryo Achroma, took him in after the failed experiments, as Hibaske was close to death as well. Achroma fitted Hibaske with a much stronger antifreeze system in order to prevent him from ever perishing in such conditions again, as well as multiple other enhancements that allowed him to talk, gain higher intelligence, and essentially become a living computer. Hibaske spent 15 years with Achroma, retesting the experiments with him until Achroma's own inevitable death once he could no longer survive the freezing temperatures. All of Acroma's research was then transferred to Hibaske, and he has continued Achroma's work ever since.

Trivia & Headcanons
- Hibaske's original design was inspired by Houka Inumuta from Kill La Kill
- Because of the heat his computer generates, and Hibaske's need to keep his body extremely temperature control, he is actually extremely warm to the touch as he redirects heat out of his body. This ability is often used to keep others warm and has aided in saving lives many times.

Relationships
Achroma [previous owner] The former lead scientist of the Achroma Climate Research Center. Working with many other scientists, Achroma created Hibaske's intelligence system out of desperation to make sure none of his work was compromised in any way after his eventual demise. Hibaske loves him dearly and uses his memory as motivation to carry out his purpose. |
Technology & survival
- The External Antifreeze Blood System, or EABS, functions similarly to the antifreeze properties of the Greenland shark, by using cryoprotective proteins to prevent ice formation in cells. It slows down Hibaske's metabolism greatly, making his movements and reaction time incredibly sluggish. He can temporarily lower the level of antifreeze proteins within his "blood" to allow him to move at the speed of a normal dog, enabling him to run and hunt, however it takes time to lower the level of antifreeze in his blood, so he must plan out any exerting physical activities beforehand.
computer
Hibaske has a small supercomputer within his brain. This computer is what allows Hibaske to have human intelligence, contact others wirelessly, do complex math and science, check and predict the temperature and weather, and permanently store the information about Achroma's research, among other more "traditional" computer functions. This research is incredibally difficult to edit, even for Hibaske, to prevent any possible tampering with it. Because of the computer's power, it's prone to overheating. If this happens, Hibaske must quit doing whatever he's doing to allow the computer to cool down, so that he doesn't risk frying the computer or altering his body temperature. The computer's cooling is additionally aided by the EABS and his large ears, which release heat. This computer, while highly secure, isn't impossible to alter and still has a possibility of failure. He guards the computer with his life because it's failure could could revert him back to the intelligence of a normal dog or even kill him. The only way to repair the computer for physical problems is through surgery.
The computer can also download and transfer information through ports in Hibaske's EABS. The computer can store up to 2.5 petabytes of memory, and Hibaske can control if he would like any specific information or memory to be permanently saved.
biology
Hibaske was born with a completely white coat, but his fur is now dyed with several permanent dyes that make him easier to spot against snow and ice, but are still subtle enough to allow him to hunt without alarming his prey, and avoid predators.
He is able to balance on his hind legs for an extended period of time, and manipulate his toes on his front paws much like human hands due to surgical modifications to his paws and legs.
Because of the inital cryogenic experiment, Hibaske looks 5 years younger than he actually is, due to the inability to age in the cryogenic chambers. Hibaske is also able to survive for such an extremely long time as a dog due to his extremely slow metabolism. At 35 years old, he is the oldest dog in the world.
emergency features
To deal with the harsh conditions of the world he lives in, Hibaske has several emergency features, including the ability to go into a sudden hibernation to prevent freezing, by both eliminating 70% of the water in his body, and maximizing the level of antifreeze in his blood. In this state, Hibaske cannot physically move, but his computer is still able to process information around him. He can stay in this state for around 3 weeks maximum before he needs food and water. He can survive in temperatures as low as -35 degrees Fahrenheit, and temperatures as high as 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermometers on his cuffs measure his internal temperature.
Hibaske's computer is similar to that of a plane's black box. Heavily protected to be able to survive a multitude of disaster situations, including extreme heat, cold, pressure, and more.
He can breathe out a toxic smoke to deter predators, however while doing this, he must be careful not to breathe it in himself, and he can only use an extremely minute amount. This amount however, is often still enough to cause antifreeze poisoning in most small to medium sized animals.
Aesthetics
Despite Hibaske's bleak situation, he thrives on the little reminders that give him hope, such as his faith in his abilities and small glimpses of sunlight.
