Name: Kholodny Zima, the Scion of Stribog
Hero Name: He doesn't really have one. He's got no one in particular to protect or anything, so he's fine with letting everyone know his name. So he just goes by Khold.
Age:27
Gender:Male
Race: Russian
Random descriptors: Average+ height, lanky, pale as a bitch
Physical Description: Kholodny is not your typical ideal Russian man. Instead of being a great bear of a man, he's really more of a mediocre giraffe. He's not super tall, being only about 6'2, but he's a skinny sonuvabitch. Look up lanky in the dictionary, there he is. He is also INCREDIBLY pale, though for reasons not quite his own. We'll get to that in a second. He's got what looks like almost bleached blonde hair that is forever slicked back and spiky off to the sides, almost like ice cicles. Again, not his fault. He normally (Always) wears incredibly heavy coats, sweaters, and long sleave shirts, in that order. He wears two pairs of sweat pants when he can get away with it, but normally goes for just thick jeans. He's got extremely piercing blue eyes and perfectly white teeth. He shivers too. A lot. Actually, make that constantly. This dude shivers all the time, like he's got a frozen core instead of a heart or something. He doesn't, but its an apt description.
Personality Description: Zima isn't a super fun person to be around. One, because the air always seems just a little bit colder around him, and two, his personality leaves a lot to be desired. Yeah, he's a nice guy, but he's honestly super depressing. He's kinda mopey sometimes, and his self confidence levels are low, and he whines all the time (With good reason). Also, he's a coward. He has no confidence in his ability to win fights and will run whenever humanly possible. What a disgrace to the motherland.
Character History: Kholodny Zima lives a life full of irony. Delicious delicious irony. Born in Russia, his family was a member of a anti communist faction. Unfortunately, this led to them being exiled to Siberia while he was still just a babe. Well, Siberia in the middle of winter isn't good for anybody. His parents died. Oh no, not from the cold. His mother was eaten by wolves, and then his father died from a bear attack. But not before taking out the bear, skinning it, and making a blanket for little Kholodny to help protect him from the cold. Daddy Zima was a badass. But surprise!
A baby out in the middle of the Siberian Tundra isn't going to last long, bear skin coat or not. Kholodny died too. Well, almost died. Mostly died, which is different than all dead. Right before he drew his final breath a great rush of wind surrounded him and lifted him off of the ground. "Обычно я не ввязываться в дела, такие, как этот, но я не могу позволить ребенок, как этот, чтобы умереть в моей земле. Не бойся, малое один, ибо Я Бог Стрибог, будет заботиться о вас и позволит вам жить." Now, being a baby, Kholodny have no fucking idea what this spirit was saying, but the god Stribog, father of the four winds, had decided to take care of him and allow him to live. Entering Kholodny's body, Stribog filled the baby's being with his essence and power, causing the child to undergo immediate changes (You can probably figure out which ones) and saved his life. Eventually, little Zima was rescued and brought back to civilization, where he eveeentually moved to Florida to try and live someplace warmer. He fucking hates the cold and everything to do with it. Irony, huh? Stribog and Kholodny are still on great terms, with the god of the winds trying his best to stop his Scion from being a coward when it comes to fighting.
Character Equipment: Kholodny doesn't have much in terms of equipment. He has a tremendously heavy coat that he always wears to try and stay as warm as he can. This coat isn't made of any particular special material, but after having been worn by the Scion of Stribog for so long, it has picked up its own characteristics. If anyone else were to wear his coat, they would almost immediately (2 or 3 posts) freeze solid. It also provides pretty substantial defense, Stribog has woven magical ice into the threads, making it far tougher than you'd expect, you know, cause it looks like a fucking coat. Coming into contact with the jacket will begin to freeze whatever is directly touching it solid. It's not super fast, but it is almost impossible to avoid. If something maintains contact, it will be frozen. Good rule of thumb. (Again, 2-3 turns.)
Skills, powers and abilities: Whats cooler than cool?
And when in a real pinch, Kholodny can draw upon the true power of Stribog and stretch his body's potential to the utmost. When drawing on all the power he can, Khold's body begins to take on different forms, maximizing his icy powers based on whatever from he is in. There are three forms that Khold can use. These will all be expanded upon in the abilities, each getting their own hider and section, as well as a physical description.
One: The Ice Berzerker, officially titled Led Niestovvy. This form takes Khold's strength and speed to the max, turning him into a raging warrior that fights with brutal, animalistic tendencies. In this form, Stribog takes over Khold's body completely, allowing the old god to put his full experience and rage to use on whatever poor enemy stands in front of him. He tends to rely much more on brute force and close range ice and wind manipulation, allowing him to easily render even the toughest steel apart with nary a thought. The downside of this form is that he ignores his defense completely, rushing into whatever attacks blindly. If any of his limbs get blown off or severely damaged, he is able to use his powers to create a replacement out of ice until the battle ends, though once the battle ends, Khold will not be happy at all about it.
Two: Vemeste Bog, the Frozen Titan. With Stribog and Kholodny in perfect harmony, they come together to create a monster of ice and wind that no one would like to deal with. Standing at around 25 feet tall and 15 feet thick, the TItan is a literal force of nature. Kholodny and Stribog's natural power leaks out in massive amounts, causing a ferocious blizzard of snow, wind in excess of 150 mph and hail the size of baseballs for around 100 feet around them, with temperatures starting at 0 at the fringe and rapidly decreasing until the center, where the Titan is. The Titan boasts absolutely massive strength and defense, crushing those who dare step up to it. However, it's very very slow.
Three: Kholodny's personal favorite, the Vela Oleg, the Frozen Skater. Stribog allows Kholodny full access of power while still keeping control. This allows Kholodny to take the form which pleases him the most, a form that boosts his defense and speed far beyond that of what he can normally do. He becomes covered in a thick armor of absolute zero ice, with wind and diamond dust forming faint, shimmering wings behind him. He is able to move blisteringly quickly in this form, leaving his previous 400 mph winds in the dust, so to speak. Even those with heightened senses far beyond that of a normal human have a hard time keeping up. This is also the form most suited to terraforming, as Kholodny's ability to manipulate ice and wind is taken to its extreme, gaining the ability to turn the landscape into a winter wonderland in a matter of moments.
