a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by LawOfTheLand

Inventory

A simple yet sturdy shield.
Basic sword.
This pouch can contain a small number of other things, and is useful for holding things while traveling (among other things).
This bag has straps, pouches, and more — great for accumulating things over time.
A legendary artifact found behind The Impervious Door, made from ice that cannot melt or shatter. Equips the wearer with the entirety of cryogenic abilities.
This egg has what looks like a hole, but it's actually a transparent ruby which allows the embryo take in sunlight early on.

Description

Picture URL: http://adventurequest.wikia.com/wiki/Snow_Warrior

(Picture copyright of Artix Entertainment, LLC.)

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

This is not the original longtime friends of his might know and love--much like the Dread Pirate Roberts, the name is designed to be passed down to qualified successors in order to keep the legacy intact. This second iteration, given name Rime-Blade, lacking the predecessor's life experience, is much more no-nonsense and inflexible when it comes to rule violations, though he has quickly developed a healthy tolerance for fights that are out of his league. Being highly impressionable, perhaps even a bit naive, also means that there's a good chance he'll believe almost anything until proven otherwise.

Equipment

This version carries a more traditional ice-crafted broadsword with wickedly jagged edges. What it lacks in protection and elegance it makes up for in effectiveness. He doesn't have a ranged weapon...yet.

His spells are as follows:

-Snow Drift: A basic ice attack, conjured over the head and then brought downwards. Numbing cold meets sheer weight, making it difficult for victims to get up after a hit.

-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 summoned reinforcements to even the odds. This spell was the original's last-ditch effort to drive off a particularly nefarious threat and it did cost him his life, so the new one is loath to invoke it.

-Tail Sweep: By itself, his tail is strong enough to constrict smaller opponents on its own, but when he really puts his mind to it he can produce a strong gust of cold air that can knock foes backwards.

-Icicle Spear: Mainly used for deterrence and aerial coverage due to relative lack of damage output. A volley of small ice darts are conjured, then fired at a target in quick succession. Capable of scoring multiple hits, though they tend to be fairly useless against heavy armor.

-Powder Blast: A weak, short-range attack that involves blowing loose snow. When used in conjunction with a strong wind, it sticks to objects it hits, proving itself rather useful against those that would cloak their form with glamers such as invisibility.

-Kyuurei Hadouken: Like his predecessor's venerable Snowball, with all the dramatic flair of a Street Fighter attack. It's also quite a bit stronger, used to break up fights he was too slow to prevent from happening, intended to end them IMMEDIATELY. After hanging around Motoko for long enough, it was inevitable that he picked up some token Japanese, after all.

-Instant Igloo: Whether as quick cover against an oncoming attack or a way to help his friends ride out a storm, this defensive bubble is designed for both short and long-term protection.

-Happy Frostval!: One of those presents you'd rather not get because it blows up in your face, turning a large-sized restaurant into a winter wonderland with the proper setup, with powder snow swirling everywhere, not to mention the force of the explosion itself.

History

Cryoface was lucky enough to win the favor of the Ice Lord, one of the eight Elemental Lords of Lore, that created him, but lost it again for reasons unknowable by mortal minds. That lack of connection to his god is what has cost Cryoface his life and his career as a gladiator on that plane. After a stint as head of security at Gambit's Bar, an "argument" with the owner led to his termination and other unsavory things, leaving him little choice but to abandon all that he knew, loved and fought for to assume a hermit-like existence in the Cold Plains. He spent long hours in between training sessions mourning lost loves, missed opportunities and regrettable choices. After a fight with Jack Thirteen used up the last of his reserves, he had Motoko Attenborough fly to the Cold Plains and enact a ritual to call forth a replacement, knowing that she would be torn apart in the eventuality that he fell in battle. The success of this ritual is evident in the presence of this new specimen.

So begins...

Taiko Kazuyin looks around at the people who arrived. He had apparently arrived ahead of schedule, but now saw that others were coming here. Well, really his boss should have come, but not him, but then he pulled the usual routine and sent Taiko instead.

Cryoface just shook his head. "That may very well be, but could you at least give them a fair shake? It's certainly better than where I used to work, that's for sure."

A sleek, genetically-enhanced hostess looks up from her desk at the talkative patrons. Her shimmering platinum blonde hair fell along razor-sharp edges down to her 15,000-credit Elysyvier dress, sharpening the gaze through her 12,000-credit Olympia-issue spectacles.

Can I help you get acquainted?
she inquired.

Taiko Kazuyin noticed, as an analyst by trade, although not really known publicly, about the various people who came. He sighed, seeing that out of all the people who arrived first, one or two of them would be impossible to practice his social skills on. He was mainly a labrat, so why his boss decided to send him was unknown. So, he went over to the other one who had already engaged in conversation, a man who appeared very, very cold. And from what he remembered in an intelligence packet, was named Cryoface. "Do you happen to know if anyone notable will be arriving, or is the party smaller then expected?"

Isambard Prince raised his eyebrow at the hostess, his own attire cost thousands of cubits, tailor made just for him. "Were you talking to me?"

Character Portrait: Cryoface Cryoface says,
 “ I think he's talking to me. And no, I don't know who's on the guest list. I just figured I was getting lonely and needed to be among the flesh forms again. This is definitely a step up from the dive on Terra that I used to haunt. ”

Taiko Kazuyin nodded. "I see. I dont know much about Terra" he lied, though it wasn't obvious. "But...ummm….this place does seem really nice. Its not often I get to leave work for someplace with a nice atmosphere". There were some clear indicators that while trying to make conversation, he likely didn't leave work much as he said. "Do you think they will have any famous drinks? I heard The Dragon was being shipped around lately..."

Of course, The Dragon, as Taiko mentioned, was a drink that was so potent, its said only Gods or God level beings could drink it and survive, more or less. But he was not that alcohol savy, since he worked so much.

Taiko Kazuyin also tried to not mind the others, especially the racists, since he didn't want to get into some socially awkward and embarrassing situation like fighting in such a prestigious place.

Taiko Kazuyin watches as he could feel the tension rise in the air. At this rate, he was going to come across another murder scene for sure. While others came in and seemed to ignore it, all he could see is sparks flying between the two groups. "Now now...cant we all just...keep calm and relax?"
