Shiventine

## Life Events

### Early Life

Shix was a fairy who was plotting revenge. He recently escaped his town after learning his father was executed by the government. Shix really loved his father, he turned him into the man he was at that time. He inspired him to always be a good host, and help the townsfolk. His dad, however, was executed for a crime which wasn’t really clear, and then the reasons for his execution weren’t informed to Shix. This made him lash out and escape.

While thinking about how to get back at them, he started cruising the snowy tundras when he was caught by a snow storm. Due to the snow he ended up falling into a ravine, dead. The fairy’s ghost came out of the body, losing a good chunk of his memories about its past life, not all of them though. The first thing it saw in the ravine was a pile of snow, so he decided to infuse with it to form a new beast, using the snow as his body.

The creature started out as just a pile, slowly growing by incorporating snow that fell into the crevasse. In order for him to incorporate this snow, he had to hold it inside of him for a significant amount of time, about a day, then it forms part of his body. By obtaining two sticks that fell into the crevasse, he was able to make some arms for himself, by using the sticks as some sort of skeleton to then mold snow around them, and then waiting for it to get incorporated into his body structure. To avoid monsters, he used his ability to shapeshift himself into a pile, to hide from them.

When he turned five years old, he decided to escape the ravine, using what little dirt he could obtain to build his way up, finally escaping.

### Recent Life

After escaping, he started to think he might need to develop better in order to survive in a bigger world. He needed a way to travel better, so by using a pair of sticks again he made some legs for himself. He started to wander around the tundra, always dreaming about being able to visit different biomes. Shiventine is made out of snow, so he has to keep his temperature low.

He also decided to make his clothing: a long tunic made out of leaves and pants made out of mud, hard enough to maintain its shape, soft enough to be able to walk freely. He also used stones for his cap and shoes. Sometime later he found some torn, crimson gloves, which he was very fond of.

The gloves weren’t the only thing he found on the ground: many travelers’ belongings have been falling on the ground for Shiventine to pick up. Some stuff can be just seen, others can be worn but, most interestingly, some can be read. Readings about a magic gemstone, able to regulate the temperature of the body of anyone who obtains it. After reading this, Shiventine decided to start looking for the stone, with the hope to fulfill his dream.

### Present Life

Currently he is still looking for that fabled gemstone, but has deviated to also find a place where he can settle, a place he can call home, a base to come back to after exploring for the gemstone. Recently he has been getting flashbacks about a certain, grown fairy man.

## How his body works

Shiventine’s body is pretty much a combination between a ghost and snow, not a ghost covered by a snow shell, but rather the ghost itself fused with the snow. Because of this, he does not have the need to eat, but enjoys it nonetheless due to the warmth he feels after doing so. When he eats, he just kinda incorporates the food into his body, absorbing its energy. He is able to get wet, since the ghost part of him is able to hold the body structure together. However, he can’t swim, rather sinking to the bottom. His body temperature must be kept at a relatively low level for the snow not to melt, meaning he can only live in cold areas without the help of the gem. The nether, of course, is off limits for him, even with the magical powers of the gemstone.

In terms of battle, arrows are not a huge problem for him, as it doesn't really challenge the structure. Getting sliced however, may require a day or two to incorporate new snow into his body. He can regenerate eventually using the snow, but he can get wiped out if it all gets melted.

## Skills and Abilities

While snow is quite heavy, due to the fairy magic he is not composed entirely out of snow, he is quite light, which makes him prone to use ranged weapons and light, quick hand to hand weapons. He is also able to transform into different shapes, like an inconspicuous pile of snow, an ability that he used to survive in the early years of his life. Currently, he prefers not to do this as he wants to show people his true self.

## Personality Description

He spent most of his life alone, either wandering around or inside the crevasse. This makes him extremely prone to talking with himself, however, his extreme desire to meet other people makes him extremely sympathetic. Unfortunately, due to his upbringings, he has a hard time communicating. He usually gets small flashes about his past fairy life, and usually gets scared by them. He is determined to learn about why he gets those flashbacks, and solve this mystery for himself. Apart from all that, due to the fact he had such a hard life when he was just born, he finds helping others as a life purpose, as the meaning to why he lives. He doesn’t want people to endure hardship like he had to. The tundra can be pretty lonely, so he has the desire to have the fabled gemstone that will help him with his temperature problems, in order to explore other biomes.
