Name we know you (the player) as: nana
Plurk and/or Discord contact: _vague_whale_noises_
May mods who do not have you on one or the other add you?: yup!
Triggers? (You may PM us or post to the Trigger list if you prefer): n/a
IC:
Character name: Jack Frost
Character age as of canon point (As best as is known): Immortal spirit of a teenager?
Canon format (Anime, manga, video game, live action TV, novel, web comic, etc.): Animated movie
Name of canon: Rise of the Guardians
Canon point: Before the start of the movie
Is the canon point more than 6 months old in the US as far as you know?: yes
If not, as best you know it, US release date of the canon point:
Completely optional history and personality section. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SKIP THIS!: Sparknotes in case anyone is unfamiliar and would like to know. Pretty simple, Jack is the spirit of winter. He makes frost and snow and ice and is friends with the wind. He’s mischievous and playful, and likes to have fun. He has no memories from before he was Jack Frost, and doesn’t realise at this point that he used to be human. He has a lot of confusion and resentment for why the Man in the Moon chose him to be what he is, as humans can’t see him unless they ‘believe’ in him, which no one really does, so he’s led a very lonely existence so far.
Please list and explain the three worst (morally) things your character has ever done: 1. Caused a blizzard on Easter Sunday, interrupting the Easter Bunny's egg hunt. 2. It’s a future event, but seeing as upcoming events will be looking forward… Abandoned the Guardians when they needed his help to protect Easter from Pitch. He may have been manipulated, but his distraction still led to Pitch being able to smash all the Easter eggs and ruin Easter. 3. He doesn’t have a hugeeee amount of lore to go off of from just the movie, so I will be putting down his general tendency towards causing chaos, usually for good, but occasionally he gets wrapped up in the prank or the mischief and doesn’t think through the consequences.
Please list and explain the three best (morally) things your character has ever done.: 1. Saved his younger sister from falling through the ice on a frozen pond while they were skating. This was before he died and became Jack Frost and so he doesn't remember doing it. 2. Again, pulling from ahead of his current timeline point. Helping the Guardians defeat Pitch and protecting the kids in their final confrontation. He was the one to bring belief back to the kids and help the Guardians regain their powers.
3. Helping Toothiana collect teeth when her fairies were kidnapped by Pitch. He chose to help the Guardians since Toothiana couldn’t do it on her own, and helped make sure kids still believed in her.
Please put the six things above on a timeline relevant to each other: 1. Saved his sister before he died and became Jack Frost. 2. His general pranks going too far and uncontrolled mischief, it’s implied he was like that as a human before he died as well, though that only hurt people's feelings occasionally, due to the lack of ice powers. 3. Easter of ‘68, when he caused a blizzard all over Bunnymund’s egg hunt. 4. Helped Toothiana and the Guardian’s collect teeth. 5. Was distracted by Pitch, abandoning the Guardian’s and letting the Easter eggs all get smashed. 6. Protected the kids and the Guardians and defeated Pitch.
Do you consider your character a hero, an anti-hero, a good aligned side kick, a bystander, a victim, a fence sitter, a mercenary, an evil aligned side kick, a villain, or something else? Why?: While heroism is in his future I would say, at canon point I’d consider him more a neutral agent of chaos. He certainly isn’t a villain or out to hurt people, but he also isn’t going out of his way to do ‘good’ deeds. He’s the spirit of winter after all, and we all know how terrible winter can be, but he also enjoys bringing fun to people as much as playing tricks and being disruptive.
Do you think your character should start on the Isle or in Auradon? Why?: Though I could very easily see him arrive in either, I’m biassed, and so here is my argument for him arriving on the Isle. At his current cannon point, as mentioned before, he’s a pretty neutral party, ‘morally’. He saved his sister from drowning, but doesn’t remember that action or any of his life as a human. And he has yet to properly meet the guardians and all the good and bad drama that goes along with that. As it stands currently, he is a very confused immortal spirit of a season, who has a lot of fear and anxiety around his identity. Which leads him to be rather angry at the Man in the Moon, who is responsible for him being Jack Frost in the first place.He isn’t sure why the moon picked him for this, or what it is he’s supposed to be doing, and I could see that self-doubt and negative feeling spiral be enough to sway the magic to drop him on the Isle.
Which of those two would you prefer your character to start in?: On the Isle.
Are you still interested in having this character in this game at this time if that preference is not met?: Yup
Powers and Abilities: Ice powers, specifically creating frost, snow, and ice. Freezing things. Blasts of cold magical energy, it’s a little unclear. Generally he runs cold as well, he has a resting state that slowly chills and frosts the area around him that he can’t turn off. Flight, achieved by cooperating with the wind, therefore whenever he flies depending on the speed and energy it’s accompanied by a breeze or gust of wind. This is obviously affected by the 5 foot rule in Auradon when he gets there. It’s a bit vague, but it seems that if he chooses his snow can essentially charm a person into being happier/having more fun. Typically achieved by either a snowball or snowflake to the face. Causes the person’s reaction to be a smile or a laugh, and they become a bit more agreeable to whatever game is being proposed. He’s also immune to cold temperatures. Other than that, no specific skills, generally just pretty fit and athletic. Not really a power per say, but he can’t be seen by regular people unless they believe in him/his myth. He can only be seen by other spirits or magical entities.
What clothing/items did your character arrive with? (See rules and FAQ for what is allowed, feel free to ask if you are unsure): Not much. His clothes (blue hoodie and brown pants, no shoes), as well as his staff/crook).
Optional- What do you have to keep in mind when playing this character?: He’s been around consistently throughout history since he died, so I’m sure he has an idea of technological advancements, but he’s been a spirit unable to interact with people since the 1700s. There might be things (especially inside buildings) that he’s not overly familiar with. He also might not know how a lot of things work, even if he knows they exist and vaguely their purpose, like phones or cameras. He knows what they do but has never used one.
What mod candy, if any, does your character bring? (Aka what elements would you really like to see us play with?): We’ve talked about it a bit, but his inability to be seen typically, and how different people may or may not be able to see him for a while, especially when he gets to Auradon. Also being seen at all and generally his lack of powers while on the Isle, since he doesn’t remember anything about what it’s like not to have them, or to be seen.
What else do you think the mods should know about your character or their canon?: I think I got everything important, let me know if you need any other info though!
Any questions?: Obviously magic doesn’t work on the Isle, but since he is also a nonhuman entity, possibly permission to let him keep a toned down version of his aura of cold? Extrapolating on that, since he isn’t human, will he be able to retain his immunity to cold and lack of living person needs? Yes there’s no magic, but he’s not necessarily becoming human on the Isle… Looking forward to your thoughts, thank you!
