Gelid Sleet

At one time serving on the court of an archfey in the feywild, Gelid was cursed with voice immodulation by a powerful fey for changing the subject to the weather during a conversation about feelings that Gelid was uncomfortable with.  Now, banished from his enchanted homeland, Gelid is only able to speak in the tone/cadence of a TV meteorologist – no matter what it is that he's discussing.  His mind tended to linger on the morose previously, but does much more so since the spell was placed upon him – confounding the problem is that all his complaints come out in a chipper corporate best friend kind of voice that marketing studies show goes well with your morning coffee. 
==Characteristics==

** Pronoun:  He/Him

** Influences: Marvin from Hithiker's Guide.  Eor from Whinnie the Pooh. Will Ferrel's Jakob Silj.  Nick Cage in The Weatherman. Every TV Meteorologist.

** Bond:  I’m drawn to the Feywild and long to return there, if only for a short while. There must be some way to break the curse and be allowed to return home.
