## Biography

Aspen is originally from an unammed snowy mountain far outside the districts, living with his elder siblings, a sister and a brother, both having raised him from when he was 11 years of age, due to an incdent in which his parents were taken from him and his siblings due to them being seen as a threat to a Protag due to their popularity with the locals in the village. The villagers had not a clue that his family was anything other than human, and were enraged when the Protag took his parents' lives, causing the villagers to banish the Protag from the village, and while Aspen saw this, he has become guarded, believing if they knew what he and his siblings were, the villagers would hurt his family just like the Protag had done. At the time of the incident, his eldest brother was 19, and was given legal guardianship over Aspen and his elder sister, who was 15 at the time, and their elder brother did his best to give Aspen and their sister a normal life, while continuing their parent's teachings of hiding what they are so they could pass as human in the village. Both his siblings have sworn vengeance on the Protag, but Aspen has become too afraid of being found out that he has refused even the idea, which his siblings have understood and not pushed him on, the trio's bond becoming quite strong due to them working together and leaning on each other throughout the years since the loss of their parents, especially with the factor of his siblings helping him through his transition from female to male, of which they were very supportive.

Not long after Aspen turned twenty years of age, his siblings, while still wanting to be close to him, urged him to strike out his own and gain more independence, as well as, something that they hoped, gain friends who would help Aspen become less guarded and blunt with others. So, he came to Hyperstrike Megamart, getting a job as a Technician at a local frozen sweet shop called Frozen Frostbite, and he was surprised, yet also terrified, as he learned there were more Protags out there, worried they might be like the one who took his parents from him and his siblings. However, he has continued to stay, interacting with others in the NPC community, and has found it to be quite welcoming, something he was further shocked by, yet has also caused him to let down his guard slightly, even gaining a coworker at his job who seems quite nice. In recent events, he survived an two week encounter with the Protag The Masquerade, a.k.a. Novak Aldgrim. He ended up having to play another game with the man, the same man who took his parents from him, and won, but ended up having to make the choice to expose his secret, of being a Yokai, to the rest of the NPCs. Happily, they do not seem afraid of him

## Appearance

Aspen's eyes are a soft sky blue, with his hair as white as snow, the ends almost reaching his shoulders while his bangs are slightly uneven, as it is to his taste. His skin is almost as pale as porcelain, as well as his body being cold to the touch, due to what he is. Also wears a mask at all times that is modified to allow him to still breath properly, but hide that his breath comes out as frost, and he wears gloves to keep from touching things with his bare hands

## Personality

Aspen is quite guarded around others, especially when it comes to certain factors about himself, and tends to keep most of his thoughts close to his chest, but, due to this, he can end up coming across as abrasive due to his bluntness when talking to others. He has had to learn to manage others' emotions around him, due to not being very physically strong, and this has caused him to become quite the strategist/quick thinker, able to handle them with ease when needed so as to keep a situation from escalating into physical violence.
