## Character

### Biography

The story of how Jayce Hiem's parents met is best left unmentioned. However what is known is that his father was a Jotnar from the line of Fenrir and the Jotnar of Ironwood. While his mother was a demon of a beastly line hailing from that of the Ars Goetia. His father was not the kindest of Monsters and his mother was neither the sweetest, his eldest brother having taken off before he was even born and his adult sister barely being present within his life. Under the strict authoritarian rule of his Father the practice of the Seidr and runecraft was drilled into his head; earning a distasteful outlook on magic.

He eventually got his chance to escape his abusive childhood by attending Monster High. He kept to himself for the most part, avoiding other students aside from other select students who also faced difficult home life's. That was until he stumbled upon a secret door to the catacombs, stumbling upon the old locked cavern of the Society of Secret Monsters and it's library of spell books and grimoires. Jayce originally wanted nothing to do with it, but after a while his love of magic came back. Eventually starting the society back up as a school club to learn magic away from the watchful eyes. He and the others eventually graduated, and managed to discover some of the original members of the group and inspired them to restart the Society for the benefit of magic in monster society.

Around the time of restarting the group, he started an online relationship with a human living in a different country. Eventually he revealed his origin to him and taught him how to use magic safety and properly. He was even present when his partner became a nature spirit, he became overjoyed. Even now, both he and his boo live together down in Monstralia.

### Personality

Jayce is a very respectable monster. The most accurate words for him would be kind, courteous and dignified nature spirit. Given his history of emotional manipulation and domination from his parents, its surprising that he hasn't turned into a bitter and detached spirit. His loyalty is like a knights, never wavering as long as his friend is good. He prefers a nice quiet life, inviting his more quieter friends to sit and enjoy hot beverages with him in the winter. When showing off her prefers to make it a big winter wonderland production. But his wintery wonderland personas changes from a light snow flurry to a raging blizzard when he becomes angered. Often creating a literal blizzard when he becomes angered.

Through this nobility he holds a quiet sadness, as the years of both physical and emotional abuse had weared him down. However through the support of his friends and his partner he has gone through the necessary amount of therapy in order to work through the years of mental scars.

### Physical Appearance

As a hybrid, possess a unique form with the features of both demons and animal themed jotnar's. His true form is that of a towering beast in the vague form of a fox, based on the views of others; his tue from resembles that of a massive storm. However through his shapeshifting power he takes on a more humanoid and smaller form; that of a more fox-like monster.

Jayce's underlying skin is a pale blue, and over the top he has white fur with silver tones around his muzzle and other sections of his body, such as his ears, hands and feet. His face is smooth and angular kind of matching Invisi Billy, with more defined and pointed shape. His scleris is a pale grey and his iris are ice blue featuring almost to the point where it has been compared to gazing into nifelheim or the icey bowels of hell. Jayce's hair is platinum silver; which is styled short with his fringe resting up on his head, in-between his two ears.

Jayce as an adult had decided upon the general height of 6 foot 2, with a more mesomorph body type; preferring to be more defined than his partner.

He additionally he features a jagged dark markings along his eyes and upon his body, similar to rune markings; they shimmer similar to that of a diamond.

## Relationships

### Personal

While he has had many relationships in the past, but none of them stuck. His disposition never really suited many of those he went out with, as he was considered a good guy and decent. He was rather reserved and somewhat frosty given his history with relationships. That was until he met Ozzie Spiritley, at that time he was a human, but after a couple years of romance and learning Ozzie had become a witch; he revealed his nature as a hybrid. To this day they still have a much cherished relationship.

Originally Jayce didn't have many friends that he associated, as he had a hard time even making friends. He did manage to make some more friends albeit those who had similar lifestyle issues such as him, with some much needed assistance from the teachers. Their relationship was one of necessity rather than desire, however when they re-established the Society, their relationship bloomed and became stronger. Jayce's friendship with both the newest and older members of the group is amicable and positive.

### Familiar

His relationship with his family is basically non existent. His mother in very simple words is a frigid cold witch who uses her children to maker herself look good and to ensure her self important.

His siblings are just as bad, thankfully he refuses to interact or talk with them. Having moved an entire country away from them.

	+ **Astral Vision**: Jayce can see overlapping dimensions/planes of existence and the unseen creatures inhabiting them, but not into other realities or dimensions that do not directly overlap their own. Jayce has no natural control over this ability and wears a set of glasses which seal his ability to see overlapping dimensions as it gives him headaches.

## Monster Inspiration

### **Jötunn**

Jayce is a hybrid, a monster born from the uniting of two different types of Monsters. His father is that of a **Jötunn** related with Fenrir in some way. A **jötunn** (also jotun; in the normalised scholarly spelling of Old Norse, jǫtunn /ˈjɔːtʊn/;[1] or, in Old English, eoten - plural eotenas) is a type of supernatural being in Germanic mythology. In Norse mythology, they are often contrasted with gods (the Æsir and Vanir) and other non-human figures, such as dwarfs and elves, although the groupings are not always mutually exclusive.

The jötnar typically dwell across boundaries from the gods and humans in lands such as Jötunheimr. In the Eddas, jötnar are beings typically with similar power to the gods and may also be referred to by the negative terms troll and þurs. Descriptions of the appearance of jötnar are uncommon however the progenitor of the jötnar is described as having the form of a man. One of the Jotunn who dwell in the wood Járnviðr is a mother of jötnar in the forms of wolves and from whom are descended all wolves. This tröllkona has been suggested to be Angrboða, the gýgr who begat with Loki the monstrous wolf Fenrir and venomous worm Jörmungandr who become enemies of the gods. This links to Jayce's more animalistic appearance as a fox.

### **Demon**

While his mother was a **Demon** related to the Ars Goetia. A **Demon** is a malevolent supernatural entity. Historically, belief in demons, or stories about demons, occurs in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, and folklore; as well as in media such as comics, video games, movies, and television series. Belief in demons probably goes back to the Paleolithic age, stemming from humanity's fear of the unknown, the strange and the horrific.

In ancient Near Eastern religions and in the Abrahamic religions, including early Judaism and ancient-medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered a harmful spiritual entity which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. Large portions of Jewish demonology, a key influence on Christianity and Islam, originated from a later form of Zoroastrianism, and was transferred to Judaism during the Persian era.

This relates to the Ars Goetia which are a set of Hierarchical demons from the lesser key of Solomon. A collection of 72 Demons with varying animalistic appearances and abilities, to which Jayce is a descendant of
