Alta

**Alta** is an abnormally tall boy with an ice resistant body who was found on the Finnish shore in the year 2047. He doesn't appear in any story, but the history of him and his village were uncovered by Bright. He suffered amnesia after the lab he once lived in was destroyed by a flood, and upon arriving in the Finnish village, knew nothing of his traumatic past.

## Appearance

Alta stands at a strikingly tall 6'8" with a decently muscular build, semi pointed ears, and webbed feet. Two silvery white horns stick out from the top of his head through his messy red hair. His eyebrows are dark and defined, and make his timid expression somewhat easier to read. His left eye, often obscured by his hair, glows yellow, whereas his right eye shines a dull hazel. His nose and cheeks are slightly redder than the rest of his decently peach skin due to the cold climate.

Alta's "winter warrior attire" consists of a dark blue long sleeved shirt with a long white cape that's lined with thick grey fur. He wears a brown strap over his shoulder that hinges on to his belt. This strap can be used for hooking tools or other utility items for convenience, but Alta rarely uses it. He wears heavy brown boots lined with black fur over his baggy light blue pants. On his hands, he wears light gray fingerless gloves, and he wears blue and gold armor on his elbows. Alta rarely makes direct eye contact with anyone, which results in his heterochromatic eyes constantly darting around to avoid locking gazes.

## Personality

For several years of his life, Alta had little understanding of the world. He had only two desires: impress those who looked up to him, and to stay alive. Being raised to do nothing but fight, he is not only painfully aware of the darkness of death, but he also grew desensitized to it. He understood well that if he didn't fight back, he would meet death in the same way that he had dealt it to dozens of others. Upon becoming a member of the Finnish village, he developed a sense of responsibility due to the villagers relying on him to be their hero. He began to develop into a calm and observant individual, but was exceedingly ignorant. Alta often disregards his own safety for the sake of keeping others alive, giving him a dangerous sense of selflessness. He is remarkably dense, as he constantly missed the hints that the young women of the village were dropping in attempts to flirt with him. Mentally, he can be described as "an eight year old lad stuck in the body of a young adult."

## Story

Alta was taken into the German underground lab at the age of one where he, and five other new-born children were to be experimented on illegally. Only two of the five survived the elemental experiments performed on them, with Alta (who was named Subject #336 at the time) being one of them. For many more years, more experiments and tests were run on him, most notably experiments infusing him with Glaceer cores. This resulted in his ice resistant body. At the age of ten, the lab decided to discard their human experiments, so they sold Alta into the black market for millions of euros. Alta was sold to a buyer in Spain, with little information being linked to him other than his gender and age. He was forced to participate in the illegal beast fighting branch of the black market, and it was soon realized just how powerful he was in comparison to many other hybrids. He dominated the competition without even knowing how to speak, read, or write. The crowd began to refer to him as "Alto" because of his abnormal height, but he often misheard it as "Alta," which he realized was the name that had been given to him.

After six years in the black market, spending countless weeks fighting for his life, he was purchased out of the black market by a private lab located in Finland. The lab "cleaned him" so that he would be in proper condition for testing, and this resulted in him no longer aging. He maintained the appearance of a 6'8" seventeen year old hybrid boy. For several years in this new lab, he was taught how to speak Finnish (although he still never learned how to read or write) and he kept his name, Alta. He was further experimented and tested on, but none of these experiments left any major marks on him in comparison to the ones that had been performed on him years ago in the very first lab. By now, Alta had a vague understanding of his life. He knew he was not a human, and he knew that without fighting, he would meet death.

After over a decade in the Finnish lab, a massive storm flooded the entirety of northern Finland, destroying the lab, and nearly killing everyone in it as well. Alta survived, but he fell into a coma, and he drifted through the sea for a few months before washing up on the southern Finnish shore. He woke up, having lost his memory completely, and knowing only his own name, how to speak, and how to fight. He walked aimlessly inland until he was found by villagers. They took him in, and he was instantly loved by the children of the village. They would refer to Alta as "big brother," and it wasn't long before more raging storms began to surge further south. With his elementally enhanced body, Alta was able to hold off these storms for a while, and protected the village loyally. However, the storms inevitably grew worse, and he could no longer manage them. He was struck point blank by massive hailstones, and died, leaving the village at the mercy of the monstrous blizzard that continued overhead. He had ultimately protected the village up until his last breath, never knowing the gruesome life that he once lived all those years ago.

Several years later, when the Restorer had wandered up into the remnants of Finland, he had found a large statue of Alta that was poorly decayed. The statue was built by the villagers to honor their hero. None of them had survived after Alta's death, only his ruined memorial remained.
