PERSONALITY

Wynter is rather friendly, at the price of being a cheeky menace! He'll playfully tease his friends and maybe even play a prank or two. His love language is throwing out little nicknames here and there. Despite the chaos he sews, he can also be a great source of comfort. He's incredibly caring and patient, he's willing to befriend anyone... Even if it takes time. The brooding edgy loners aren't spared.Wynter's front is very much a joyful, confident guy. Although he's incredibly smart when it comes to reading people and emotional intelligence. Some underestimate how many steps ahead he is in certain forsights. He tends to hold himself significantly more grace and pride.Wynter is quite a hopeless romantic whether it's long term or short. He loves artsy things in life from painting to poetry. He can get very sentimentle and find deeper meaning in even the mundane.

NSFW

Wynter's a being of many tastes, his cheeky side usually needs taming for him to submit fully to anyone - but he's also not above being bribed to behave. When he's in charge, he presents more as a dominatrix than anything. He's happy to rock some high heels and a corset and put someone in their place. Whether top or bottom, sub or dom, he can also be a little feral if you push his buttons, be careful if you wake-up that yokai side. He doesn't have a lot of limits, he's happy to be a bit of a freak. Aside from anything beyond watersports and NSFL , he's down for most things! Please simply ask if there's something you'd like to include or are unsure of. He'll try almost anything once! Experimenting is part of the fun.

"There are two kinds of people in this world darling.""The first is the majority, those who would desire to see you crash and burn while taking everything that you are for themselves.""Second, the ones that want to see you succeed... but only by their hand. Your wins must be theirs, your victories are out of their benevolence.""So take every opportunity you can. Give away what you need to... And the difference is yours. The question is, how big is the difference?""Nobody else is going to tell you this, so you have to learn how to win a game that is designed for you to lose."

THEME

Race

Viera / YokaiThere father was a regular viera, their mother a Yuki-Onna blending in within mortals on the streets of Kugane.

Pronouns / Gender

He / She / TheyThey'll tend to fluxuate their appearance between very feminine and more masculine. Their gender is very much an apathy of theirs. He tend to lean rather masculine in their identity as the Oyabun, and feminine in their private life. Though that isn't always the case. After all, she certainly knows the importance of a woman in charge. Nor does one have to be a woman to earn the label of a femme fatale.

Aether

ChaoticThose who view the world in aether would see something more akin to that of a grand monsterous yeti in a tundra than a small viera hybrid.

Sexuality

PansexualThey define themselves as a being of equal opportunities. However, it certainly helps if someone has muscles to stare at.PolyamarousHe can go on dates and have charged encounters with whoever he desires. However, you would need the blessing of his parnters for something more permanent.

HOOKS

CRIMINALS ✓ YAKUZA ✓
MUSIC ARISTS ✓ MUSIC FANS ✓ ALCHEMISTS ✓ FIGHTERS ✓
SECURITY HIRES ✓Aether of IceTo those who more so specialise in aether sight and aether senses, Wynter is definitely a unique case. Despite physically being very viera in appearance, his aether more so reflects something similar to the yetis and other ice monsters out in the tundra. Wynter himself isn't adept in the ways of aether at all, so he only knows this from what others have told him.Skin of SnowIf you get within a few feet of Wynter, you might just notice the temperature dip a few degrees. His body is also ice cold to the touch. Due to his yokai side being incompatible with his viera body, you might catch little tells where the cold is getting to him. If your character is an alchemist that might be able to provide warming potions, he's always happy to try them.Battle of BlizzardsAre you a fighter? So is Wynter's yokai side and usually they are itching to spar with someone. He has a few rules [See his about section] so that noone gets hurt... But if you piss him off, all of those safety nets will go out the window.Those who's aether leans more towards the aspect of fire tends to get him eager to spar even more.Kugane Popstar | Idol WYNWynter is a musician as his primary career, going by "WYN" as a stage name. His style is a form of alternative pop, which are very lyrical focused given his love of poetry. If your character is eastern or simply likes that style of music, perhaps they might've heard a song or two. Maybe more!

LIKES

SUGAR: He'll take at least six sugars in every drink.

DISLIKES

- OPEN WATER : Wynter had an incident of almost drowning at a child. He's never learnt to swim and while he will happily spend his time in a shallow end of a pool, the ocean makes him significantly more nervous. He's not a fan of boats for the same reason.- SPICY FOOD : As a yokai who alligns with ice, he tends to lean away from anything with a lot of heat behind it.

DISTRUSTS

- People that are overly nice and generous. While he's more than happy to take while the takings good, he certainly has his guard up. Everyone is out for something, right?
- Those who weaponise their beauty, perhaps it simly takes one to know one. There's nothing more dangerous than calculation behinid beauty.

Please Note !!
There are a few details that I have left out due to the flavour of characters being able to find out little pieces of information by getting to know Wyn. There are some things that he himself still doesn't know, so as he finds out more things about his Yokai side, I will update as they become available knowledge ♡♡

BACKSTORY & ABILITIES

ORIGIN

Wynter's mother was a Yuki-Onna, a type of yokai associated with ice and snow. Wynter's aether leans so heavily to the element of ice that it resembles closer to that of yeti's out in the tundra and other horrific ice monsters despite his rather normal appearance. He's truly an interesting case for those who have aethersight or simply a strong sense for it.His yokai heritage makes him icy cold to the touch. Being half viera, his body is unfortunately not compatible with it's own freezing temperatures. It means that after a while he gets too cold. Although he can't actually feel it himself. He can't feel natural occuring cold or his own coldness. The tell that he's too cold comes from trembling and not being able to feel his fingertips. There's even been more drastic times where he had shut down completely, falling asleep without someone being able to awaken him with ease.Developments:
There still isn't a permanent cure he knows of to this incompatiblity and there probably ever won't be. He's made his peace with that. However there is two very note worthy things he's concluded in his time dealing with his condition.1. The effects are slowed down when surrounding himself by warm baths, warm clothes and warm people. Heat in general can be a temporary fix. Although it doesn't stop it entirely.2. The coldness inside himself is his own power that's stored inside and accumulates more over time. If he wants to keep it from freezing him from the inside, he needs to keep 'letting out' that build up. The best way to do this is through using his abilities in combat and daily duties.

Abilities

His powers are closer to a Blue Mage than anything, with his ability to create and manipulate ice. However, due to his hybrid breed, he's not entirely compatible with his powers. He's incredibly cold to the touch and has to take a lot of precautions so that he doesn't freeze from his own icy cold core. It isn't uncommon for him to take heating potions, warm baths and partake in warm drinks or meals to thaw himself out. Though it does make cuddling him feel like a freshly turned over pillow.He has some knowledge of basic healing, granted he has been told it's like being hit by a snowball.His roots come from that of a bard who made a career for himself as an idol within Kugane. He's starting to dabble in the ways of Pictomancy, given it calls to him rather naturally as a lover of the arts.Ice Creation
Whether it be giant glaciers in front of him or delicately crafted sculpts from ice in the palm of his hand, he can create ice at will from thin air or by freezing liquids in the area. When his emotions get out of control he often freezes liquids that he walks by, in more extreme cases leaving trails of frost and shards of ice. When he's upset, rarely do tears make it the entire way down his face.Ice Telekinesis
He can move ice around at will, even mould it as if it were dough in his hands to create whatever shape he desires. Sometimes this won't always be the case where he's still learning to control his abilities in the moment. In combat he often fights with weapons made entirely of ice... And sometimes he shapeshifts them into other weapons... and some of those he has absolutely no idea how to use! This unpredictablity that mixes weaponry and magic is why he's not only dangerous to fight but banned from most combat contests.

BACKSTORY

Wynter grew up in an incredibly wealthy noble household within Kugane. The Kazukida Clan was considered one of the oldest, decorated and renowned. It was very much a cushiony life where he never had to lift a finger for himself and partied wildly. However, his parents highly valued tradition and maintaining a high social standing. They often had exclusive, luxurious parties to flaunt their wealth and maintain relations with VIPs to pursue buisness endeavours.Wynter was highly encouraged to socialise with people on account of who their families were and what such relations would mean to the wealth and social climb of his family name. This was mostly by his father who played the face of the family, while his mother was more so the iron fist behind the curtain.They soon grew tired of the rather fake friendships he formed along the way with a few exceptions of people that had become very dear to him, even if his parents weren't always approving of the company that he kept. The constant whispers of gossip from such a lifestyle left him with a lot of anxieties and insecurities. His parents heavily disapproved of his ambitions surrounding music and art. Upon voicing that he intended to pursue both and travel the world, he was cut off from his families fortune.Leaving Home
They soon grew tired of the rather fake friendships he formed along the way. The constant whispers of gossip from such a lifestyle left him with a lot of anxieties and insecurities. His parents heavily disapproved of his ambitions surrounding music and art. Upon voicing that he intended to pursue both and travel the world, he was cut off from his families fortune.Without any street smarts, basic knowledge to take care of himself himself or a penny to his name, he set off into the world. At first he got into cooking and botany, while he was terrible at both, it drove off that gnawing itch to steal when he couldn't even afford basic foods. This downspiral eventually led him to get involved in a group known as Yu Yi, a thieves guild and hosts to a fight club. Although the roles he played in that time period are something he scarecly speaks of.He went without even a home for the longest time, camping around The Black Shround and beyond. However, after making a few friends and recieving some help, he's beginning to pick himself up again. Although his old partying habits have rather rapidly returned, this time though, he speaks to who he wishes.True Natures Revealed
Upon what he thought would be the end, settling into a small apartment with a few jobs at different places and his recorded music doing rather well, something else began to come to the surface.It started with freezing liquids in his near vicinity whenever his emotions got the better of him and escalated so far as manifesting large chunks of ice in a range of specific shapes. The cold began effecting his own body the more he tried to contain it. Ice would form across his fingers, leaving them numb, his body temperature plumiting that would leave him with a great level of fatigue.Upon fearing for himself and the people he cared about, he began seeking help while researching different areas of magic to find a solution to his icy conditions. It was only when he found help within a spirit that his true nature came to light. That he was born of viera and spirit. A bridge between two realms.Upon having these revealed realities, he finally decided to return home and retake his place within the ranks of his family.

Only him and one of his siblings made it to adulthood. He'd spend his days pushing his fighting skills and put them to the test in fighting matches every night. Many times he'd walk away with broken bones, large bruises and cuts, but every loss was another lesson learnt for next time.He soon gained a reputation both in the ring and within the criminal underground. As his reputation grew, so did his gang and the scale of the jobs they were taking on. They'd gone from petty pickpocketing to organized heists. The group took on the name YU-YI and opporated under that title for the guild.However what goes up must come down. He let one of the gangs affiliates take the lead which all turned out to be a double-cross. A few of the gang members lost their lives, including the one family member he had left.

/you-yee/
the longing to feel things intensely again; as if somewhere along the way, you simply forgot what it's like to be passionate, to care about something more than yourself.

We’re Gods for the hopeless, the salvation for the forsaken, the lantern of light for lost souls.""People fit in here when they don’t fit in anywhere else.""Perhaps it’s all a little poetic, but what can I say?"
"I’ve always been a fan of an underdog."

HOOKS

"If you want to know a city, ask the rats."
Is there information that you desire about someone? An enemy? A friend? A lover? Anything that you need to tie together with information otherwise unobtainable, hiring an info broker might just be your lucky way of progressing.Of course, Cael loves gil, but not as much as he loves people and learning things. Everything. About everyone. While gil is a worthy exchance, some scandalous information might be equally desirable in payment."If I am an angel, paint me with black wings."
Given that he's an Oni, he'd be identifiable to anyone that would be able to sense the difference in his aether or have a 6th sense when it comes to detecting those kinds of beings. After all, the horns on his head are a telltale sign that he's not exactly the most normal of viera.He's also incredibly allergic to beans due to his Oni origin."If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."
The line of work Cael participates in tandem with his quick tongue often gains him a lot of enemies. He's no stranger to pissing people off, whether it's a simple snide comment or an elaborate conflict. Are you looking for an alliance or even maybe a new enemy?Still, he thrives in that life style. One of his hobbies is sewing stuffed horrific little bears and he'll often leave one as his calling card occassionally, just to let hia enemies know that he's been around.

BACKSTORY

Birth to my creation.One evening in shirogane, a noble woman is betrothed to a man madly in love with her. The feeling was mutual, and the duo were like two puzzle pieces made to fit together.

The disloyalty was ignored, her sister was married to him as fast as the family could find an officiate. The now ex-wife ound herself alone, forgotten and most of all, betrayed.Rarely do mortals hate so passionately and wish misfortune deep enough for an Oni to be created in such a way... Yet when the baby was born, there was no denying it.To be reborn, you must first die.Cael's early life consisted of a rough up-bringing on the streets of Kugane where he spent the majority of his time stealing and fighting to get by. Even losing a leg along the way. He was a shadow that had noone and nobody knew him either. A boy that might as well of been made from cellophane or glass. However, this life in the shadows meant that he had quite the knack for knowledge. Other thugs, the black market, areas that people came asking for information on... And he had answers that people would pay generously for.This would come back to bite him quickly, a group of slavers caught wind of information that they desired from him. Though they had no intention of paying and instread tortured it out of him, including the removal of his right hand.
