Character Information

Summary

A small town introvert hailing from north of the arctic circle, Zero's spent most of her life as the local weirdo, hiding the most dramatic parts of herself in a desperate and largely unsuccessful bid to fit in all while mitigating her parents' anxieties around her magic. Relocating to a place where very few people know her has brought out the urge to reinvent herself. To that end, Phoenix Kelvin of Utqiagvik and Absolute Zero of Seattle may as well be two different people, though a keen eye and the care to look for it could likely see past the thin veneer of bravado she wraps herself in to the anxious nerd underneath. Zero specializes in cold-based combat magic and illusions, with a survivalist's interest in extreme environments.

Goals

Zero wants, more than anything, to make a name for herself doing what she loves best: launching frozen projectiles at irresponsible speeds. And it certainly wouldn't hurt to make some friends in the process. Parallel to that but likely more pressing, relocating on a moment's notice means a need for cash, and fast. Zero left home for San Fran and then San Fran for Seattle without a spare second to plan ahead or think things through, which means she's got the clothes on her back and what she can carry in a duffel bag to her name and a desperate need for a way to bring in resources and keep them coming.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Drug Tolerant: Zero's been on adderall since she was 8 and still has an attention span approximately 5 seconds long. It's gonna take more than a couple of hits to get her hooked on anything.

Mentor Spirit (Polar Bear): Illuktuk has been creeping around in the back of Zero's head for more than a decade, attempting to steer her away from the least well-advised of her impulses with mixed success. Somewhere between a concerned parent and an over-protective older sibling, he looks on his charge with an exasperated fondness.

Mentor's Mask: Nothing about Zero is subtle, least of all her magic.

Negative

Combat Junkie: It's not that she's aggressive, it's just...c'mon, slinging spells for fun and profit? What's not to like? Zero's spent so much of her life hiding the fact that she can even do magic in the first place, now that she's free to be the loud and proud cryomancer she was always meant to be she can't resist the sweet siren's song of mana-fueled adrenaline.

Distinctive Style: It's hard to stay on the down low when you look like the lovechild of an elf and a yeti. Might as well lean into it.

Lack of Focus: ADHD combined type is a hell of a drug.

Spirit Bane (Fire): Zero's not big on spirits in the first place (the big fuzzy guy in her head notwithstanding), but for some reason the flamey ones just hate her vibes. Call it artistic differences.

Appearance

Zero is an unusually small (5'3") nocturna with piebald fur and large, yellow-gold eyes not unlike a cat's. Her fur is mostly white shot through with black spotting. Her hair is black with white at the ends and typically styled up. She has a small build clearly more suited towards dexterity than raw strength.

Clothing

Zero's personal style changes with her whims, but tends to vacillate between gym rat and dad chic with a splash of color vomit, ensuring that she's the loudest thing in the room whether her mouth is open or not. Her go to running wear is an armored sleeveless parka with extra insulation for cold protection.

Matrix Persona

Zero doesn't do much Matrix deep-diving, but for casual browsing her Persona takes on the appearance of a cartoonish, anthropomorphic arctic fox wearing a parka.
