Snowstorm
Boreal is a creature of solitude, preferring to work alone and excelling when he does. He's a master of stealth and prides himself on being able to sneak past anyone undetected. He stays quite distant from his co-workers in the name of professionalism and takes his job incredibly seriously. He has little patience for people and will try to wrap up social interactions as quickly as possible. His co-workers actually know little about him, despite how hard some have tried to befriend him. Boreal isn't callous or mean to anyone but does come across as cold and uncaring, even if he feels quite the opposite. He's actually quite bad at externalising his emotions despite how aware he is of those around him. He currently works for Garrison Inc. as a field agent. He often works alone but is sometimes paired up with Pythios for select missions.

Cryokinesis
Boreal has power over ice and snow, being able to create both out of thin air and control them. He can weaponise his ice to create fast moving projectiles. He can also influence naturally occuring snow and ice, but has less control over it. In a blizzard he could clear a path to move through, but he couldn't stop it entirely. He can also freeze water and make objects incredibly cold: for example he could freeze a doorhandle so it could be shattered. This also creates frost, which he can use to cover surfaces to make them slippery, or to make glass difficult to see through.
As an Arctic Icebound Boreal can influence the weather. He can create localised weather events like hail, snow and blizzards no matter the weather conditions. It's more difficult to do this in warm weather and if it's already hailing or snowing he can aimplify the weather. These powers are stronger during the correct weather events.
Weapon Manifestation
Boreal favours long melee weapons like spears and javelins. Although he rarely uses these powers, he prefers to use them tactically: creating ice picks to help him climb, for example. He's more likely to use his weapons to pin a target down and prefers not to hurt people with them. While he can create other weapons, he prefers non-mechanical objects that he can summon quickly. The weapons only last as long as he's touching them and will disappear if they're dropped or taken from him. As such, he's the only one that can wield them.
Non-Corporeality
Boreal can vanish from the material plane, meaning that physical objects no longer impact him. He cannot be touched in this state, but he also cannot interact with anything corporeal. This allows him to move through walls, and the ground if he chooses to. He can't see if he's inside a physical object so he prefers to stay above ground. When this ability is activated Boreal becomes transparent but not completely invisible.
Boreal is often paired up with Pythios for select missions, and doesn't mind him in a work sense but gets quickly fed up with him when the mission is over. Boreal finds Pythios's overly friendly nature very imposing and wishes he'd listen when he's told to leave. While Boreal does somewhat appreciate having someone to talk to, Pythios's topics of choice don't usually interest him.
Boreal can handle Wilder in small amounts, appreciating the conversations they can have but wanting it to be over when Wilder gets carried away. Boreal will sit and listen to be polite, mostly because he's a little scared that Wilder is always looking into his thoughts, and tries to keep his thoughts to himself. He understands that Wilder is incredibly powerful and is intimidated by that, but is equally as glad they're on the same side.
Boreal mostly feels bad for Hecate for being paired up with Wilder. He feels a mutual exhaustion with her for having to deal with a chatty co-worker that doesn't seem to be able to take a hint, but also doesn't want to emotionally connect with anyone so he keeps that to himself. He appreciates that Hecate is a no bullshit kind of person that just gets the job done and goes home.
Boreal doesn't fully believe that Aires can see the future and doesn't like when she asks if Boreal wants a tarot reading. He finds her quite obnoxious and doesn't like her overly social habits, particularly when they involve him. He's indulged her once or twice but regrets it, because now she always asks if there's anything he wants to ask the tarot.
Boreal considers Aruna his favourite co-worker because she only speaks when cosmically necessary, and the advice she gives is quite good. He somewhat enjoys trying to decipher what her cryptic messages mean, and despite not interacting with her directly ever he appreciates her quiet nature.
