Jonas "Ice" Kin (GK)

**Jonas Kin,** otherwise known by the simple nicknames "Jon" and "Ice", is the main character of Griffy's Kraffen. Born on January 24, 2002 in Colorado, Jonas was a brilliant researcher and scientist, best known for his research in cryogenic technology. Jonas created a company named "Jonakin Cryonics" that would be able to cryogenically freeze and revive people years later with advanced cryogenic technology. His goal with the project was to make it so that he could freeze himself and wake up a thousand years in the future, creating a time machine essentially. He gathered a group of 20 people that were willing to wake up a thousand years in the future, 20 people that didn't find much hope in the current year and in the year 2034 the machine was put to the test.

Jonas awoke to his memories being fully gone, only basic knowledge from his past life is remembered. His skin had turned a pale blue in the thousand years he'd been frozen, and he found that the entire human population had been wiped out. Jonas feels as if it's his fate to revive the dead earth, and makes it his goal to start a new country... A country called Kraffen. Jonas got the nickname "ice" due to his ice colored skin, and the fact that he was preserved in ice for a thousand years.

## Backstory

Jonas was born on January 24, 2002, alongside his identical twin brother, Griffin. He was born in Colorado, on the Peterson air force base. His father was in the navy and his mother also did military work with satellites. Because of this, Jonas and his brother grew up learning a lot about tech and became fascinated with technology growing up. When Jonas was very young he'd make little contraptions and invent very luxurious things to impress people and make friends. Eventually because of Jon's wit and inventiveness, he ended up going to the School of Mines for a degree in engineering, and after successfully getting his degree he spent most of his research on time travel and cryogenic tech. The idea of being able to go to a place far ahead or far behind him very much so intruiged him. He even thought that if he went far enough in the future, there was a pretty decent chance he could be able to kill two birds with one stone. And that's when he began working on his life's project. Jonakin Technology was Jonas' research lab he opened up, though most of the research was focused on cryogenics, preservation tech, and general time travel theories. Jon did research and calculated that if science keeps advancing at the rate it is, the most likely year to have backwards time travel technology available would be 3186. With a specific year end goal in mind, Jon had his mind set on finishing his project.

After about 8 years of nonstop work "Jonakin Cryogenics Preservation Lab" was completely finished. Complete with 20 preservation tubes, Jon was ready for people to start signing up. He made several billboards that read "Have you lost hope for the present day? Do you want to live in tommorows world? Do you wonder what it would be like to live in the future?",l so on and so forth, and it was surprisingly successful. There was a surprising amount of people who honestly had nothing to lose or nothing important they'd be leaving behind, with the skillsets Jon needed. After getting his 20 participants, Jon was ready to begin the preservation... that was until his twin brother had confronted Jon. Griffin was upset that Jon was just going to leave everything behind, and begged him to stay. Griffin also brought up a valuable point, being that it was fairly unlikely his memory would survive, and that it's not even certain anyone would even be on the earth by the time it was 3186. Jon ignored his brother, and the very next day the preservation project begun. It was too late for Griffin to do anything now.

Jon awakens in the year 3186. No memory. He had general glimpses of his previous life, but other than that all he knew about himself was that his name was Jonas (as it said on his tube), and that he was apart of some science experiment. Jon goes outside, only to see a completely empty and destroyed world. This is where Kraffen begins.
