[attr="class","appbody"] [attr="class","appcat"]bio a man of many faces. one of ice, another stone. the third is a boy: clever, but lonely. the first is dismissive. cool, perhaps rigid if you want to call it that. not unfriendly, not unkind, but sharp- an icicle waiting to pierce. it's only natural. people call fire deadly and strong, but the only thing stronger than fire is the cold. the ice. you don't see it burning, you don't hear it crackling. it's invisible. but you can feel ice bite. for an hour or so, anyway. the stone is worrysome. he often falls apart, as stones do. but he does it slowly. deteriorating painfully, one chip at a time. the smooth chiseled grey thinks he can get what he wants by taking it. he is firm and strong and protects what isn't his with his life. perhaps a little prideful-- perhaps a little dumb. the boy is the smartest. he can dodge all obstacles with a grin and defeat all foes with the power of a punch. he is charismatic. he befriends both the ice and the stone and they serve him well. he is lucky- he avoids death on many occurrences. someone is looking out for him, but the boy is not so sure. he is lonely. friends are difficult to make when you are gifted; when you are different. he seeks warmth often. as a creature with a cold heart, heat is foreign. his curiosity gets the better of him and he wants to investigate that heat and he wants to feel it. there are many ways, he has discovered, but he has a favorite. he knocked on a door in neri at eleven years old. it was warm inside, they fed him soup. the girl was beautiful in a simple way. they were friends, and then they were family. her smile is one of those ways he finds warmth. she does not know much about the real pine-- only a fabricated intricate fable of his travel "all the way from kur," how he tempted the many monsters he crossed. and how they just weren't fast enough to catch him. "i was lost out there." [attr="class","appcat"]lore & abilities it all began with a stone. no, scratch that- it began with a mountain. an ijiraq has the ability to shapeshift and match his appearance to anything it has seen. although it can do this in regards to non-human creatures- it is harder and sometimes less accurate than shapeshifting into a human, which it can do with accuracy and speed. he prefers cold areas and has built up an immunity to the cold. partly because of his time in the below zero temperatures, and partly because the ijiraq was created of ice. not pure ice, but with shards embedded in. he steals things. sometimes food, sometimes cattle, sometimes children. but there was a mountain that leads to kur-- a specific peak that all living things from the city remembered, once upon a time. it was large and majestic mountain. and then it was a crumbling hunk of stone, sediment glowing. and then it was old stone ruins. and eventually, the ijiraq held a rock in his hand. maybe the same thing is happening to him. + SHAPESHIFT-- the ability to shapeshift into any living creature. much more adept with humans, mammals are slightly more difficult, and non-mammals can take a few minutes to figure out. + ICE PROWESS-- ice manipulation at its finest. able to manipulate the temperature of the air, turn limbs into ice temporarily, and create ice shards from cold air. + RESISTANCE-- to ice and thin air. living on mountaintops, one builds up a natural resistance to the thinner atmosphere. and being so adept with ice means that he is very familiar with it and harming him with it can be difficult. + WEATHER MANIPULATION-- to a certain extent. precipitation can be controlled in minor ways; turning rainfall into snowfall or hail or sleet and vice versa is possible- but creating his own storms can be very difficult and requires a lot of energy. he has an array of items hidden around the wilderness. + INUKSHUK STONE-- it will lead the holder home, always. when the equipped has no home, it loses it's shine. + DOLLS-- about twenty of them. they're old and dirty and some of them are covered with a thin sheet of frost. + MULTIPLE ANIMAL PELTS-- sometimes he wears them out. they help him shapeshift into whatever creature they come from. | [attr="class","appname"]PINE IRWIN [attr="class","appicon"]  [attr="class","appstats"] AGE: 24 SEX: M RACE: IJIRAQ HOMELAND: CENTERSPINE MT CONTRACT: Y [attr="class","appquote"]once upon a time somebody ran, somebody ran away saying "as fast as i can, i got to go" |
