Description

Cryoface towers over most humans, rising to between 6 and 7 feet and weighing a good deal over 300 pounds. His body resembles many snowballs joined together, with the exception of his arms and head, which are humanoid. As a result, he seems like a sculpture of a cross between a human and a snake...unless he decides to move. During a snowstorm, however, his vision seems unimpaired where a human would be subject to snow blindness.

Personality

Having recently failed in his task to protect the denizens of Gambit's Bar from whatever harm may befall them, he has put his full efforts towards finding and stopping the killer responsible as a sort of revenge for the life that was taken before his eyes. Still, such a failure weighs on his mind heavily, as well as the thought of what goes on at the bar when he's not around.

Equipment

Cryoface carries a katana made from magical ice, enchanted with the ability to not melt and make fire attacks less accurate. However, Cryoface is loath to test the limits of this enchantment, as such temperatures make him more than uncomfortable.
Cryoface's armor is a modified version of Ice Plate worn by humans, offering decent melee protection but making ranged attacks and magic more difficult to avoid.
For long-distance battles, Cryoface uses a dangerous combination of ice magic, a Frostbow hand-crafted by a magical race called Moglins that creates its own ammunition, and a keen grasp of battlefield tactics.
His spells are as follows:

-Snowball: A basic ice attack, meant to numb exposed areas that get hit and make them unusable for a brief time.

-Iceball: Takes one turn to prepare. The first, highly accurate strike chills the area, while the second, more powerful but inaccurate one creates water that freezes once it hits the cold ground. All creatures except Cryoface are treated as if slowed while on the ice. Casting a fire spell on the icy area melts the ice immediately in place of its normal effect.

-Freezing Breath: By taking a deep inhalation, Cryoface is able to emulate the ability, but not the power, of the greatest ice dragons, frosting over almost anything the resulting gases touch. The cost is a fairly short range, useful only in close quarters where most weapons are ineffective.

-Ice Dragon Spirit: An apparition appears and attacks with its freezing claws and watery bite. As it is incorporeal, it cannot actually interpose itself to defend its summoner, but it can, say, ice up a weakened pillar to stop a collapse or engage in combat with a monster summoned by the opponent.

-Cone of Cold: Cryoface's most offensively powerful spell, this is reserved for cases where a lot of damage needs to be done in a short time, as well as against groups of opponents. Allies had best let Cryoface take the forefront before he unleashes this spell, as it's the magical equivalent of firing an automatic rifle.

History

Cryoface was a bouncer at Gambit's Bar, but failure to stop murder compounded with his failure to stop the killer caused him to get fired. Now he's looking to regain his position by helping the police track down the killer.
