Ranzal the Ice God

**Background:**

On a cold day in Antarctica a meteor crashed amongst the small community of penguins. Ranzal and his closest friend travels a great distance to see what crashed upon their land. After a week journey Ranzal and his friend finally found the glowing blue orb. They sensed an amazing power that laid within it. Ranzals friend claimed they could use the power to help their village succeed. But as they approached it the ground beneath them gave way causing them both to grab the ledge. Ranzal managed to pull himself up while his friend struggled calling for his assistance. Ranzal in a moment of silence turned his back towards his once friend stating the power could finally get him somewhere in the world. Leaving his friend and sealing his fate. After obtaining the orb Ranzal gathered the powers of Ice that was powerful as a god and was brought into the circle amongst gods and goddesses until this day currently. Ranzal even though he is attending many important meetings and doing his job is looked down amongst many higher ups on his attitude and perspective on things. Of course Ranzal doesn’t care and continue doing what he thinks is best for him and the earth.

Ranzal is an Ice God. Though many claim that to be a false title it isn’t. His job is to make ice balanced across the world. His powers once brought many to worship him. But as decades past it seemed he was forgotten about as claimed by Greg “who the hell would willingly worship a Penguin?” Though Ranzal continues to do his job he feels entitled and deserves the upmost respect for what he does. Ranzal was born a penguin. But at times he seems conflicted about his species and his origins. Must of the time he reframes from acting like an animal and ignores his primal instincts. He won’t dare hunt for his own food in the water. And while he squawks it’s only when he loses his temper and often blushes from embarrassment after doing so. Amongst many peers and non peers Ranzal has gathered a following of unpleasant nicknames that haunts him to a great degree. Cynthia upon first meeting Ranzal Cynthia claimed him as Chubby Bird before knowing his name. Greg bluntly refers to Ranzal as just a penguin and females tend to call Ranzal a Creeper due to his personality and mustache. He is very poor with the ladies

**Personality:**

Ranzal is a very cocky individual. After obtaining his powers and the title of a god he doesn’t seem to give too much respect for mortals and claims his decisions are final. Often having a quick temper Ranzal squawks often finding it embarrassing since he tries to push away his animal characteristics. Ranzal is sort of a coward as well. If things get a bit too dangerous for his likings he will retreat allowing someone else to attempt to take care of the dirty work. Ranzal is a glutton and discards proper diet choices for junk food. This causes him to have low energy and would rather stay sitting at his throne.

Just because he’s a god doesn’t mean Ranzal isn’t one to take part in human customs. Over the years Ranzal has taken great interest in performing stand up comedy. He has shows amongst his penguin brothers and sisters and then takes part in local bars and restaurants in cities. Sadly Ranzal has noticed that humans doesn’t nearly enjoy his humor to the degree his penguins do. Often causing his temper to pop up and getting him kicked out of the establishments. Ranzal also has a great deal of enjoyment from comics. Often finding the hero’s within the paper something he’d like to be viewed as. He has gone to a few conventions to get certain books signed.

Ranzal wants nothing more to be taken seriously amongst the humans and demons of earth. But due to his lackluster title people seem to shun or forget about his existence completely.   This causes him to try to even force people to worship him. And does stand up comedy to get others to adore his humor.

**Appearance:**

Ranzal wears a set or armor over his chest and stomach. On his left arm his also has some shoulder armor. This is more for a personal and fashion design choice. Ranzal has a large belly due to his lack of work in recent years. This makes so the bottom of his gut is showing pushing past his chest and body armor. Ranzal has two bushy yellow eyebrows alongside his blue fur and white stomach. Being a penguin Ranzal is able to grow proper facial hair. This being said he created his own from ice and is very proud of it. A habit has formed of him stroking and rubbing one side as he thinks or shows dominance towards others.
