## Description

The Son of Ymir would be quite tall, between 13 and 14 feet tall. The male would have skin of icy qualities, being a pale blue marked with a flurry of blue tattoo stripes. The hair of the giant would be a very long and aged white, bound by golden rings with a matching bound beard. His body would be tempered and trained by centuries of forging, showing off peak physical condition.

### Armor

Being large, the weight of the northern giant would be immense, but adding on to this would be the leather, fur and golden plate he kept on his lower half. His upper portion of his body would be fairly unarmored, save for leather wraps around his arms. He generally would prefer to keep himself unarmored.

### Arms

Given the occupation of the giant, he has been known to surround himself with weapons. The frostsmith has been seen with a large battleaxe, hammer and blade, as well as wielding a handaxe or two.

## History

A child of Ymir, Vörnir is a Jötnar from Jötunheimr where he lived along with his people in harmony. Their culture was very prosperous with trade and crafts, having even traveled to Miðgarðr to sell their wares. His people came in many sizes, from as giant as Ymir himself to the size of the average giant seen in Kullinzios and even smaller than that. They came in different shapes as well, taking on that of a giant snake, to being like wolves, then finally the form of Ymir himself.

Vörnir worked in the forges of Útgarðar until the hammer Mjölnir struck and eradicated his people. Vörnir now has arrived in the Domain of Kullinzios, offering his services as the Frosthammer to the people of the north. In exchange he calls for death to the god that killed his people and those that follow him.

### Skills

From (relatively) young age, the frost giant worked in the forges to make arms, plate armor and several other metal goods for the people of Jötunheimr and Miðgarðr. He has spent millennia honing his craft before he came to Kullinzios, and so his skills carry over still. Given his people's heritage from Ymir, while he was not an aggressive individual, each of his people learned how to fight as battle was the life for the sons and dottirs of the progenitor giant. As a result, the giant has been trained in various weapons and has had to use them throughout the ages to demonstrate the effectiveness of his creations to his clients, as well as keep his home safe.

### Major Flaws

The largest impasse the Jötnar faces is his size. Being so large, it is hard for him to get into most human buildings, lest they make a gate for one of his height and girth. Accompanying his size is his weight, where simple structures simply were not made to support the immensity nor the density of his frame.

### Minor Flaws

Focused on his craft, Vörnir spent most of his time in his forge and it is hard for him to learn how to leave it. He is a workaholic by most people's standards, spending his time striking at his anvil and heating the coals that warm his steels. Also, being used to the cold weather of Jötunheimr, he is not used to traveling south into the highlands even, let alone the desert. He was made for the ice of mountaintops, and will stay amongst the ice unless absolutely compelled to leave.

## Personality

The Frosthammer was a name granted to him by his trade, but it similarly matches the giant's callous attitude as of late. He has little sympathy for others unless they share his plighted history, or something similar. Battle does not frighten the giant, but it is not something he seeks out unless it has meaning to him. Vörnir is a passionate man for what he does and is interested in seeing others like him or equal to his level of skill. He does not back down from being contested, especially when it comes to those that killed his kin. The only thing close to his passion for revenge or his work is the desire to see his people again.

### Beliefs

While being an offspring of Ymir, the Jötnar is not one to seek after battle recklessly or as avidly as the Nordheimers. Instead, he sees battle as a facet of living that is inevitable and that one must always be ready for. He is not as blatantly aggressive, but he is a man of his word. When the giant seeks battle, there is no alternative.

### Quirks

The Jötnar has a tendency to stroke his beard when deep in thought. Also, he keeps ale in stock at his forge as a drink to get him through his smithing.
