Name:
Ice
Appeared Gender:
Male
Appeared Age:
16
Gemstone: Ice
Gemstone Location: Ankle
Faction: Homeworld
Corrupted:(Y/N) Nope, I don't plan on him ever getting corrupted
Appearance: Ice is the same height as Pearl, with a fairly thin and frail figure. His body is light blue, although you can only really see his head and forearms, the rest of him is pretty much entirely covered up by his clothes. His long, feeble legs almost resemble blue candy canes, and stay the same all the way up to his shirt, which bears a large blue triangle to represent his allegiance to Blue Diamond. His arms are covered up to the elbow with the light blue sleeves of his shirt, and he wears dark blue gloves over his hands. His neck is covered by an oversized, dark blue scarf, which is tied behind his neck, leaving the rest of his bulky scarf to hang down past the bottom of his shirt. His hair is another shade of light blue, which reaches just underneath his ears, and covers up the corner of his right eye. Lastly, His gemstone sits just above his foot, resting on his ankle, in a rhombus shape with light blue edges around a white inside.
Personality: Ice is ironically warm hearted, despite being a Homeworld gem. He cares about others, and tries to understand them when they don't see eye to eye with him. He's pretty gullible, and can be a little too trusting of others at times, on top of this, he can be a bit of a doormat, giving in to another gem for quite some time before testifying. Ice is unaware of the repercussions that come with colonising the Earth, he's never been taught otherwise, and as such he will probably stop following Homeworld pretty easily with some proper teaching. Ice is not necessarily an enthusiastic person, but he does typically try to look at the positives in situations. He can become a serious downer if enough things go wrong, but as soon as a few things start to go right again, he usually perks up again. He's a little too quick to forgive others, but won't forgive someone so easily if they have seriously harmed him in any way. Being an engineer, Ice is a very innovative gem, who often finds his own unique way of doing the things that he can't otherwise do. Ice gets embarrassed easily, usually blushing and making it very obvious that he's ashamed when he makes mistakes or lets others down. He will also apologize too much and often when it is uncalled for. Ice doesn't like to be lonely, and will go out of his way to be around others.
Likes: Company, Skating, A Great View, Getting Praised, Reflections, Meeting New Gems, and Auroras
Dislikes: Rain, Being Frozen Underwater, Arguing, Being Alone, Boredom
Fears:
Losing Friends, Getting Left Behind, Statues, sharks, coconuts
Weapon: Ice Skates
He typically summons two, one for each foot, and uses them to skate around on ice, and can also use them for combat purposes by kicking the sharp blades at enemies. They do however, have one huge flaw, they are "ICE" skates, not cement skates, not sand skates, not even dirt skates. They become substantially less effective on all surfaces which are not ice. If he were to summon them while on something like a sandy beach, they would actually make him quite a bit slower. Since there isn't a whole lot of naturally occurring ice in a whole lot of the locations he will be in, he will have two ways of getting around this. The first is that he could skate on water, his ability (Frostbite) causes him to freeze water instantly upon contact, so the ice would form under him while he skates, as long as he is on top of water. The other way of using his skates outside of ice and water, is to quickly summon and dispose of his weapon as needed, such as lifting his foot to kick something, and summoning a skate on to his foot before his foot meets its target.
Abilities: Sadly, Ice cannot manipulate and create ice and snow, he is an engineer, and as such his less exciting abilities are meant to aid him in his work, despite often having serious drawbacks.
Ability 1: Frostbite
-Ice has the "ability" (and while you read that, just imagine someone doing that thing where they bend two fingers on each hand to show that they are being sarcastic) to freeze all water that comes in contact with his body. He cannot freeze an entire body of water unless its something around the size of an average home swimming pool or smaller, and if he were dropped into the ocean it would only freeze about 6 metres in any direction from him. On top of this, he can only freeze water by having it touch him, he can't freeze water with his mind, even if it was just a few centimetres from his body. Ice has little to no actual control over this ability, and it's just kind of something that happens on its own, as such, this ability backfires a lot. When it starts raining out, the water freezes just as it hits him, and it hurts, a lot. In addition, a fairly strong gem, such as a jasper, could easily grab on to him, and throw him into water fast enough that he would be submerged before the water froze, leaving all or part of him, completely immobilised by the ice that he can't actually control, and his only defence against this, would be a slight frost nip on that Jasper's hand. Ice finds some ways of using this ability, such as being able to skate on water, but for the most part it plays a part in how pathetic he can be at times.
Ability 2:
Permafrost
-Ice is in a state of permanent and extreme hypothermia. His body is freezing cold, all the time, no matter what. This can do very minor damage to a gem, as they aren't exactly damaged too harshly by the cold, but at best it could cause a little bit of frost nip to the part of a gem that had touched him for longer than a few seconds. However, it doesn't get worse than that, besides causing a little discomfort that lasts no longer than a post, this ability can do no actual harm to another gem. On top of this, Ice is constantly shivering and uncomfortable because of this extreme cold. This does have an upside though, because Ice is permanently freezing cold, he is immune to the effects of temperature, and can perform engineering tasks in some of the harshest conditions available.
Fusions: N/A
History: Ice was an engineer, working under Blue Diamond's authority, his gem type was created to allow for work and research to be done on the less desirable areas of planets. After many years into the colonisation of planet Earth, Ice was sent with several others to find a way of using the frosty northern areas of the planet. After about three months on Earth, Ice found a spot with solid ground underneath the frozen snow. Determined to uncover his entire discovery, Ice worked through the night, alone. The rest of his crew had been long gone, and it was becoming too dark to work, leaving Ice with no option but to join back up with his team. However, when he headed back to the warp, it didn't work. He tried to fix it with what he had, but it wasn't the correct tools, and everything he tried resulted in failure. On top of this, it was pitch black out, and Ice couldn't see anything. Eventually giving up for the time being, he lied down on the warp pad, and just looked up at the sky. For the first time ever, he shivered because he was scared, rather than shivering because he was cold.
Ice was uplifted again in the morning, by what he called a sign. A large green aurora in the sky. It wasn't much, but it felt like the sky was telling him to keep going, and that's just what he did. He headed back to the working site and found a gem map left behind by one of the other gems on his crew. With that map, he was able to navigate his way to the lunar sea spire, a common meeting place of gems. It took him a long time, but he finally got there, only to arrive at a huge let down when nobody was there. He climbed to the very top, searching for other gems, but on his way to the top, he fell. Ice plummeted into the water, falling far enough below the surface that he was frozen solid by his ability. Ice, (now Ice cube) floated inside a tiny iceberg, following the currents of the water all the way to beach city.
Character Arcs:
*Arrives at beach city, via iceberg, and is smashed open and freed
*Explores the newfound areas where gems are said to reside
*Is taught of the harm that Homeworld was causing to the planet
*Decides to either stay a loyalist or switch to a crystal gem or neutral party
*Learns how to shapeshift
*Learns about fusion, and fuses
*Continues exploring and helping others, sometimes only to get in the way
