Icarus

Icarus is a human male, tall and skinny, with brown hair and light skin. He wears a long, brown trench coat, dark brown pants, and a worn down brown shirt. Due to the fact that Icarus, being under pressure for thousands of years, his lungs became heavily contracted and damaged. Due to this, Icarus wears a black world war 2 style German gas mask with an altered air pressurizer in place of the filter, able to intake and force enough air into Icarus' lungs to sustain his life. The lenses in the gas mask have a life sensor which can detect the identity of nearly anyone he scans. He has two large retractable mechanical wings attached to a jet powered pack he wears on his back, allowing him to fly a great height and up to 620 mph. He wears metal boots built specifically to cushion the blow of particularly rougher landings. He wears black leather gloves on his hands, with finger blades as long as 1 foot on each finger, necessary for grabbing or impaling victims. Icarus shows a hatred toward certain people. These people, in his eyes, are the descendants of the sadistic king and his men who locked him and his father away, in which he seeks vengeance through ending the bloodline. This being attacking certain targets he scans and killing them, either by swooping down and flying them up higher than around 50 ft and then dropping them from this great height toward their death, or just landing in front of them and impaling them with his long finger blades. Icarus remains an antagonist in the Nightcat storyline.

#### History

The well-known story of Icarus. A boy who was sent with his inventor father to an isolated tower on an island far from civilization. Like his father, Icarus was very clever and could invent incredible things. On the tower, Icarus and his father Daedalus constructed large wings out of candle wax and bird feathers. The two intended to use these wings to fly from the tower and to freedom. However, the young Icarus was warned by his father of two very important rules: if he flew too close to the water, his wings would become too heavy to fly, and if he flew too close to the sun, the candle wax holding the wings together would melt causing the wings to break apart. Icarus and Daedalus took off soon after into flight over the ocean. Icarus was fascinated by the sensation of flight and flew higher in the sky, against his father's warnings. Soon enough the wings collapsed, causing Icarus to fall from the great height he flew, and crash into the ocean below, while his father made it to the other side, his son was sinking to the depths of the sea, Icarus was on the verge of death, however due to the nearby battle between Boreas and the starless regiment, Boreas fell, his death resulting in a surge of permanent winter in the Icarian sea, Icarus being caught in the ice, frozen in time, yet alive. Around two thousand years, Icarus was discovered by miners attempting to obtain valuable items in the ice cluster that has been around since his fall. Icarus was revived and sent back to America, where he was sent to Nieko Laboratories, where he was studied and examined. Enraged by his fall and pointing blame at the king and his men for sending him and his father to the tower in the first place, he escaped Nieko with the makeshift mechanical wings he created as well as several other gadgets, where he eventually began his regular killings.
