=History I: A Stagnant Existence=
 
 
 
Note: As this character and its page are fleshed out more, more detail will be added. More or less just building the basics for now.
 
 
 
There was once a child born to a Duskwight clan, somewhere within the cavernous depths around and beneath the Twelveswood, and when he arrived it was with a stillness which echoed the winter deep hush blanketing the lands above. Not once did the newborn boy cry, not a single sound even as a hand sharply struck his backside to force him to draw breath. Although alive, his mother's weakness was already settled well into his small body, and there was doubt as to whether or not he would survive but a few bells, a few suns, or succumb at once to the same thing which had just claimed she who had given birth to him.
 
 
 
These were the first odds the boy, dubbed Glace, defied.  A persistently depressed immune system meant he was sick more often than not, and these illnesses usually settled in his chest, making it difficult to breath and leaving him with a racking cough which took its toll on his voice even as he grew.  This became something other Duskwight children teased him about, and this drove him further into silence and eventual self-imposed isolation as he grew.  The Silent One was always off to the side, shunned by his peers when he was well enough to get up and move about, and left feeling like a burden to his remaining family when he wasn't.  As nomads, they never would have been able to afford the treatments he needed, and so it seemed they never bothered to try.
 
  
By the time Glace entered his ninth winter, his life had known very few changes. He occupied his time by playing with any cave creatures which happened near where he rested, his favorite being a bat which he often found clinging to the wall nearest his bed. But even this was taken from him by his sire who saw the creature for a mere pest, and something which might potentially exacerbate the boy's frailty. The creature was done in by a heavy tome thrown from across the cramped cavern space. It's a fine way to wake up, having a thick tome ''and'' a dead bat land on you in the middle of the night.

It was about this time that the aether pocket the nomads had settled around had grown unstable, although few if anyone knows why. The clan had already been preparing to move on in search of another settlement when a distortion in the aether enabled the appearance of numerous Voidsent, and resulted in continuous clashes and slaughter. The clan even tried to use their own tomb within the caverns to seal the Voidsent away and buy themselves some time to escape, but the toll was already a heavy one. The injured and dead lay scattered and torn throughout the tunnels, and those that were able to escape were left with some difficult choices. They took little or nothing with them aside from the bare necessities for survival, and this included casting off anything which would slow them down.

Thus was Glace also left behind by his sire, but not before the nomads reached the nearest outpost, where Black Brush now stands. Here, he was found by Conjurers who could do no more to help him than the clan which had just abandoned him. They could only sustain him and thus prolong his suffering.

Having nowhere else to go, the Silent One continued to tick away his days and wonder when he would join his mother in Thal's realm, indulging a train of thought that no one his age should ever have to consider. Time passed slowly, but at least this time he had caretakers who were genuinely interested in seeing him well, regardless of how little they could actually do for him. He even borrowed some of their books on Conjury just to have something to pass the time more quickly, even if he never delved into its practices.  His continued isolation meant that he would remain largely oblivious to the goings on of the outside world, though he did catch snippets and rumors from time to time as he eavesdropped on the mages and adventurers coming and going from Stillglade Fane.

He was into his seventeenth winter by the time the Calamity loomed on the horizon, and word of Garlean encroachment at the borders became the talk of Gridania. Every day the fear and worry grew, and he would eventually see the wounded and dead being brought into the Fane, some to be buried and the rest to be healed if they could be. The sight of all this, somehow, hardly bothered him, but after the Voidsent attacked his clan, the sights and smells of death were nothing new. There was almost a sort of... nostalgia attached to the experience.

At one point, the Fane was evacuated as a precaution. Not only were there Imperial soldiers marching through the Shroud, but they were accompanied by a handful of their death machines, and they drew ever closer to the city. Several lesser experienced Conjurers even thought it would be a good idea at the time to try and take some of their weakest patients ''out'' of the city and deeper into the wood. This ended up being a fatal mistake for many of them. With so many roads blocked or under surveillance, there were few routes of escape where individuals and clusters of people would go unnoticed. Upon inspection of the bodies of the Conjurers and their wards, Glace was found to still be alive.

Glace drifted in and out of awareness, sometimes finding himself flat on his back on a cold slab with his arms restrained, and at other times racked head to toe with agony as if all seven Hells had infiltrated his body at the same time. There were people around who were unfamiliar, staring at him and watching, discussing things which he could barely even begin to comprehend. They spoke of injections, augmentations... Ceruleum, something he had only ever heard of perhaps twice in his young life.  What did all of that have to do with him?  Why did one of those people have a needle full of weirdly glowing blue substance?  Why was his every nerve burning?  As if his own constant illness wasn't enough, these strange people in white coats sought to inflict more pain upon him.

How much time passed like this, Glace never bothered to try and guess. Days or weeks... perhaps months of finding himself in and out of this state and, eventually, there came the realization that his breathing had eased. His endless, racking cough had subsided and had even vanished.  He had been so focused on what his captors were doing to him that he hadn't noticed until late one night as he lay awake, restless, and hungry on a bunk of an otherwise sparse room.  It almost reminded him of the cavern in some distantly comforting way. Perhaps it was even a holding cell of some sort.

A mask had also been placed over his face, he realized, and he noted that he wasn't alone in the room as he looked around. There were others slumped over, propped in corners, sprawled on the wonderfully cold floor... others like him. Others who had just been taken on a grand tour of the Hells and survived to walk out the other side.

At first, the youth wasn't sure what to think.  Aside from his sudden improved health, other changes had been made which took some time to not only discover, but to accept.  His arms were bandaged wrist to elbow, both throbbing with intense pain as he flexed his limbs and fingers and felt something move beneath the surface of his skin.  Something unnatural which shouldn't be there. He made the mistake of removing his mask and unwrapping one of his arms to more closely inspect what had been done, and as his hand curled closed something tore through the already healed flesh and struck him in the face.  A ''blade'' bit hot and sharp into his brow and he soon felt his own blood crawl down his face and across his lips, and the hunger he had been feeling somehow pined for more of it. 
 
 
Thus did he receive his first scar, his taste for blood, and the realization that all of this recent agony served a single purpose: It had made him stronger, more of a whole than he had ever been at any time in his young life, and whatever other atrocities had been committed in his augmentation didn't matter.  All of this pain was his weakness burning away, and he owed ''someone'' for such a glorious rebirth. And so Glace committed himself to the whims of those he viewed as his saviors - body, mind, and soul - and where one grew stronger, another developed flaws, and the third atrophied almost entirely.  Someone finally wanted and needed him and had taken great care to cure him of his illness as no one else could, and in return, anything he could do to please his masters became his joy.
 
 
The constant drilling, combat training, and adjustments to nutrient and chemical regimens sculpted him physically, packing on bulk and muscle he had never had before.  The pain brought on by the implanted blades in his arms subsided to a point where they truly felt like a part of him, and extending and retracting these weapons felt no more unusual than the movements of his own muscles.
 
 
And then, sooner or later came his introduction to Mother, and then the Calamity...
 
 
(to be continued)
 
 
=Personality=
 
 
''Everyone has three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends, and your family. The third face, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are.''
 
 
Frost may at first come across as reserved, possibly even abrasive, to those he's unfamiliar with.  Physically, he expresses very little on the surface.  As someone who is well aware of his own position and capabilities, he would much rather keep close personal ties to such a number that he can count them on one hand.  Two, at most. When business matters arise, he tries to be somewhat more cordial yet still efficient in coming to an agreement on his contracts, execution, and delivery of whatever needs to be handled. 
 
 
''"Rank only entitles one to obedience. Respect is earned.  You can't stand there and insult your company members and expect them to respect you in return."''
 
 
In more private settings, those he takes into his confidence - and vice versa - meet a man who is quite a bit more personable than what might first be assumed.  He has more than once tended the wounds of some of his comrades with all the care of an experienced field medic, or given advice on one situation or another (with the exception of anyone's love life, something he'll readily scoff at).  Those closest to him might even find affectionate company, rare though it is.
 
 
''"...But you don't need a lecture from a drone."''
 
 
Inwardly, Frost is a man who utterly lacks the confidence he might display on the surface.  On the battlefield or delving into his favored art of taxidermy are where he shines the most, but as grateful as he is to Garlemald for enabling him to live a full life, he's well aware that this means doing so at a distance from all but his fellow Colossus Project subjects.  Althea's death because of his augmentations only cemented in his mind that bringing anyone too close means harming them, or worse.  Years worth of living at the orders of his superiors also means he has no sense of personal initiative or willingness to direct others in any sort of leadership position.

A male Duskwight Elezen with midnight skin and violet hair streaked with blue.  Where his skin is uncovered, myriad scars have been etched on his face, as they are over the rest of his body, marking a history for which the retelling is offered to but a chosen few.  Keen blue eyes, the shade of a clear winter sky, are further accented by traditional ink in a matching color.  Should one catch him with his arms uncovered, the entire length of his forearms bear sleeve tattoos resembling antlers coiled around the entire span between wrist and elbow.  A similar motif of a stag's skull has been etched across his back from shoulder to shoulder.  Over all, his built is that of a gymnast - long, lean, and agile.
  
* '''Aimee Peltier''' - Frost's one childhood friendHe was separated from her when the raids claimed him and Oni, and only just rediscovered her within the past few monthsHe has kept his distance since then, more for her sake than anything else.  Their sparse communications have been like a game of cat and mouse as she has worked to determine if he is really still alive.
+
Most of the time, Frost's mode of dress consists of neatly assembled pieces of attire, clean lines, and crispness, with just a dash of formality when it is called for.  That is, unless one happens to catch him in the middle of his workIf the job happens to involve his taxidermy hobby, he'll dress himself accordingly in durable covering attire, thick gloves, and a mask to protect his faceIn battle, he dresses for mobility and eschews thicker, heavier armaments and plate.
  
''"I am here."''
 
  
* '''Annowre Ka'lyth''' - A peculiar Wildwood who seems to insist on treating him as a friend even though he has given her plenty of reasons not to and his best attempts to remain distant.  While aware of his loyalties, she doesn't seem all that disturbed by it, in fact holding it as a reason to keep an eye on him, that as well as his mutual ties with Oni and Aimee.  She is a source of confusion for him.
 
  
''"Still not sure what the Hells' is wrong with you, woman..."''
+
</div>
  
* [[Felix Drake]] - Frost doesn't know a whole lot about Felix other than his rank, and the mission they've been assigned toHis commands have been temporarily assigned to Felix in the meantime while Mother deals with things on the homefront, and has command priority if something urgent comes upIt's not an arrangement Frost is fond of, but there's not much to be done about it076 has also been assigned to Felix, a kind favor which both protects her and insures the Duskwight will cooperate without much complaint.

Frost isn't the easiest person to get to know.  At best, most of those he knows as part of Eorzea's general population don't get much further than a tepid surface at bestHe keeps the most friendly of his contacts at somewhere just beyond arm's length and guards his secrets wellMost will never know where his loyalties truly lie, or the life he leads outside of his taxidermy hobby, and those who have tried to pry too far have either been shut out, or silenced utterlyBut still waters run deep.  The very few who have gotten to know him have found a man so often confused by his own existence, lacking confidence in which truths he should follow - including his own.

* '''Lillium Silvanius aka Mother''' - The woman who saved Frost and made him whole, or so he believes.  He is wholly dedicated to carrying out her every order and making sure she is happy.
 
  
''"If Mother is unhappy, then no one is happy..."''

=Interactions=
  
* [[Nero Varus]] '''aka Boss''' - After briefly encountering one another in Ul'dah and quietly identifying some mutual ties, Frost opted to sign on with Varus' ragtag band of monster hunters. There is still much to learn as they haven't had much of a chance to speak to each other at length, but Frost is content to go along with any plans which come up.

| <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:12px;">While not the original figure in charge of the Colossus Project, many of the subjects view him as "Father" due to his involvement.  After uncovering the remains of an ancient colossus, he went to work trying to develop one from the ground up by focusing solely on mechanical development. His insistence on doing away with the bio-engineering portion of research, seeing it as wasteful, in favor of his own plan earned the ire of superiors and saw him reassigned under Lillium Sylvanius. His own plans were derailed which made him resentful toward Lillium and the subjects she oversaw.  Advanced mechanical application was later incorporated due in part to his involvement, and he's more directly responsible for the 200 series Defense Units than previous designs.  His focus turned to the harvesting of more Allagan technology once his rank rose high enough to do so, and now heads a recombination lab centered around mechanical evolution.</div>

Revision as of 10:15, 16 July 2016

NOTE: It is important to note that, outside of a few Garlean contacts and anyone who might have been close to the Colossus development project, it is NOT known to the masses that Glace has Imperial ties. If you wish to use this morsel of information ICly, please find me in game and send me a /tell, or drop me a line on the RPC forums.

APPEARANCE

A male Duskwight Elezen with midnight skin and violet hair streaked with blue. Where his skin is uncovered, myriad scars have been etched on his face, as they are over the rest of his body, marking a history for which the retelling is offered to but a chosen few. Keen blue eyes, the shade of a clear winter sky, are further accented by traditional ink in a matching color. Should one catch him with his arms uncovered, the entire length of his forearms bear sleeve tattoos resembling antlers coiled around the entire span between wrist and elbow. A similar motif of a stag's skull has been etched across his back from shoulder to shoulder. Over all, his built is that of a gymnast - long, lean, and agile.

Most of the time, Frost's mode of dress consists of neatly assembled pieces of attire, clean lines, and crispness, with just a dash of formality when it is called for. That is, unless one happens to catch him in the middle of his work. If the job happens to involve his taxidermy hobby, he'll dress himself accordingly in durable covering attire, thick gloves, and a mask to protect his face. In battle, he dresses for mobility and eschews thicker, heavier armaments and plate.



DEMEANOR

Frost isn't the easiest person to get to know. At best, most of those he knows as part of Eorzea's general population don't get much further than a tepid surface at best. He keeps the most friendly of his contacts at somewhere just beyond arm's length and guards his secrets well. Most will never know where his loyalties truly lie, or the life he leads outside of his taxidermy hobby, and those who have tried to pry too far have either been shut out, or silenced utterly. But still waters run deep. The very few who have gotten to know him have found a man so often confused by his own existence, lacking confidence in which truths he should follow - including his own.

I N T E R A C T I O N S

Romance  Attraction  Platonic Love  Family  Deceased  Business  Positive  Neutral  Negative  Uncertain 
N O N - P L A Y E R   C H A R A C T E R S
Severin Silencieuse ( ) - Sire
The man responsible for siring Glace, but never much of a father. He insured Glace's survival for the first nine or so winters of his life, if only in passing. The boy, born ill and getting no better as time went on, was nothing more than a burden to Severin. The old man abandoned him at Bentbranch and then moved on with the surviving members of their clan. Glace holds no love for him and relishes the idea of one day finding him and taking his life.
Althea Decideris ( ) - First Regret
Half Garlean/Hyur, and a junior technician in the Colossus Project. Her experience as a Medicus and relation to Haim afforded her a place working alongside her uncle. While most of her function didn't involve applying or changing out augmentations, it was more palliative. For Glace, this extended beyond physical aches. Although a few years older than himself, the two quickly formed a bond and the young Elezen had his first lesson in love and loss when she died in his arms.
Haim Jen Decideris ( ) - Distant Respect
Althea's uncle, and one of the senior technicians in the Colossus Project, an elder Garlean with a kind heart who would have sooner eased the pain of the subjects he worked to augment than cause them further harm. Glace knew him mostly through his work and from what Althea would tell of him. The man was never cruel, and Glace could see in his eyes that he hated what was happening to the subjects as much as they did.
Tribunus Sas Theius ( ) - "Father"
While not the original figure in charge of the Colossus Project, many of the subjects view him as "Father" due to his involvement. After uncovering the remains of an ancient colossus, he went to work trying to develop one from the ground up by focusing solely on mechanical development. His insistence on doing away with the bio-engineering portion of research, seeing it as wasteful, in favor of his own plan earned the ire of superiors and saw him reassigned under Lillium Sylvanius. His own plans were derailed which made him resentful toward Lillium and the subjects she oversaw. Advanced mechanical application was later incorporated due in part to his involvement, and he's more directly responsible for the 200 series Defense Units than previous designs. His focus turned to the harvesting of more Allagan technology once his rank rose high enough to do so, and now heads a recombination lab centered around mechanical evolution.
305 AB - Aqua Blade ( ) - Not One of Us
Also known as "One". The first successful post-Calamity unit created by Sas Theius using techniques similar to those used during the original project, yet far more advanced. As an Execution Unit, 305's very existence is a threat to Glace and the other subjects. His arrogance over being Sas Theius apparent favorite also furthers Glace's dislike, and his rebirth well after the original project makes him an outsider.
076 - Ceruleum Flower ( ) - Sweet Sister
One of the surviving low-number subjects from the project, and too delicate to be placed into function as a Combat Unit. Because of her lack of power compared to others, 076 never earned a letter designation. Glace took it upon himself to give her one out of affection, dubbing her Ceruleum Flower. Her original name unknown, the Miqo'te lost her face to bomb shrapnel. Placing her in the project more or less saved her life, though her face has been replaced with a solid mask, illuminated red eyes, and a beartrap grin. She dwells in Castrum Occidens in a security and observation function.
P L A Y E R   C H A R A C T E R S
Lillium Sylvanius ( ) "Mother"
Optio Carceris Lillium Pyr Sylvanius, Roegadyn Seawolf in charge of the Colossus Project, also known as "Mother" to the subjects. It started out as a research and development project to further Garlemald's medical research, but she remained at the helm of the project even after its purpose shifted. She embraced the project's subjects as her own children and treats them with a mix of authority and affection. She's the closest to a Mother figure Glace has ever had, and appreciates her presence as such.
Oni De'phor ( ) 0168 Lightning Spear - "Brother"
One of two friends Glace had after ending up in Gridania, he met Oni through Aimee. Oni and Glace were both captured together a few years before the Calamity during Garlean incursions in the Shroud. Oni went through augmentations first and ended up in the unenviable role of a Disposal Unit. He disappeared for a while, only to turn up in Eorzea with no desire to return to Mother's side, a decision Glace resents after all the woman did for them. He views Oni as ungrateful but has been working to put his resentment aside and reconnect with the Hyur in dealing with their common problem - 305, and Sas Theius's confiscation of the other subjects.
Aimee Peltier ( ) Childhood Friend
Glace's first friend, and an orphan. She was the first to introduce him to anything resembling a childhood, adventure, exploration, and fun. And trouble, boy howdy. She also made a point of watching over him during his persistent bouts with sickness. They lost touch for years when he and Oni were taken, and only rediscovered her years later entirely by accident.
Annowre Ka'lyth ( ) "I guess I have a girlfriend"
Annowre has been, and continues to be, a wellspring of confusion. Their first encounter consisted of Glace trying to scare her with the notion of hanging her from a footbridge near Candlequay Keep and slitting her open like a fish. She didn't flinch then, nor when he sent her a freshly carved out heart in a box during a previous Valentione's celebration. Chance encounters months later somehow got the woman thinking they were friends, especially after her misfortune of losing some comrades at arms to a dragon attack. Her affection was off-putting at first. Having been jaded by Althea's loss and viewing himself as a monster because of his augmentations, he was undeserving of anyone's interest. Annowre's persistent stubbornness in spite of Glace's cold demeanor has succeeded in bringing him closer against all better judgment.
Sigurd Sundsteigan ( ) Blondie
At times, Sigurd can be frustrating to deal with because of his erratic behavior. He makes damn good wine, though, and often provides Glace with ample supply at no cost. He can't complain too badly about anyone willing to to be so generous.
Odette Saoirse ( ) Maybe Not So Smart After All
Once trusted and respected by Frost, her sudden departure to pursue a marked target the entire Ebonbrand Free Company had been after, followed immediately by the arrest of their leader Septimus on allegations of treason, left the Duskwight with suspicion. Not only did her solitary quest strike him as selfish, but the timing leaves him wondering if she might have had something to do with the arrest, and Ebonbrand's subsequent collapse. He's determined to prove it, or get her to admit it.
Felix Drake ( ) Other Boss
Text Goes Here
Skylar Brooks ( ) "Stitches"
One of the few people outside of the Empire who earned Frost's respect, but also something akin to friendship. Her apparent death came as a shock, but she went down fighting, which leaves him with a sense of pride in her wake.
