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

3133131_FOHqC1nS6axfcBa.png?1492830132

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.

11681045_UqxivuRQp30RCgu.pngAchroma [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.

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.
