## **History**

### Early Life

Dietrich was born in 1469 Frankfort, Germany (now known as Frankfurt) into a poor, but humble family. Not much is known of his relatives other than they died when he was of such a young age. Their causes of death were unknown. He was taken in by the local church and was raised by the nuns. He grew to be a religious person in his early days, until he was old enough to leave and get a proper job and life outside of the church.

At around age 20, Dietrich went off and got a job as a cook in one of the local taverns. There, not only did he serve great food, he also served as some sort of protector. He kept travelers safe from local pickpockets and thieves, he kept the tavern a peaceful environment by breaking up fights and hostilities. The owner of the tavern even appointed him as his business partner and they ran the tavern together. One day a homeless man entered the tavern and asked for work or a place to live. Dietrich and newly-made business partner allowed the man to live in one of the storage rooms. The three of them cleaned up the storage room and made it into a livable place. The homeless man was happy and worked at the tavern as well. All was peaceful and well.

However, one day, a guard from the empire entered the tavern and asked if anyone has seen a man which they described to be very similar to the homeless man the tavern was keeping. The guards said that the man has not been paying his taxes, and thus had to be apprehended. Dietrich confronted the guards to the point where a conflict happened. He lost the fight, and was taken by the guards instead. He was locked in prison for several months, until one day a man who looked like he was part of the guards, released him from prison. This man's name was Lukas Nachtreiner. He was a guard leader and managed to persuade the King to free Dietrich from prison, but at the cost of Dietrich becoming a part of the guards.

As years pass by, Lukas and Dietrich became good comrades in arms. Even when they're not on duty, they were close friends. At around age 27, Dietrich became Lukas' 2nd-in-command. After the ceremony of Dietrich's promotion, he and Lukas went to Dietrich's hometown. They planned to visit the tavern he worked in 7 years ago, as well as meet old friends and companions. But when they arrived, the unimaginable had happened. The town was gone, it was destroyed and burnt down. Buildings demolished, farms destroyed, and the old tavern, burnt. Near the city was a graveyard with gravestones, all of them seem to have been the citizens of the town. Dietrich broke down, his legs fell to his knees, and tears started to flow. Lukas tried to comfort him, but the pain was already too much. Dietrich said his final goodbyes to the people buried in the graveyard, he laid flowers on each name he remembered, and soon left.

It was rumored that the village was burnt down and destroyed by an opposing kingdom or empire that was taking over the land. Since the town was small, it was overlooked by the King and his forces. From then on, he swore to protect the good people of the nation, no matter the sacrifice.

### Demon Encounter

A year passes by, Dietrich and Lukas were sent on a mission to retrieve an old relic that was supposedly left by the gods. Of course these were all rumors, but they went anyway, it was the King's order. They were sent to a cold mountainous area where legends say that a magical spirit lives there. When they arrived at the location, the exploration team was ambushed. The enemies they were facing seemed different to normal humans. They felt more ferocious, and primitive. They spoke an unknown language and wore thick fur coats. The primitive-looking humans attacked them with spears, blades, and bones. They were much more coordinated and agile. Thus the entire exploration team was wiped out, except for Dietrich himself and Lukas.

They both managed to escape to a nearby cave, Dietrich was injured but was still capable of combat. Lukas, on the other hand, was gravely injured. His legs were broken, and his ribcage was stabbed. Dietrich carried Lukas all the way to the end of the cave, where finally, Lukas took his last breath, smiled and said, "Stay strong and live on. For yourself, and for our country." Soon after, he died of blood loss. Dietrich held Lukas in his arms and wept for he has lost another one of his brethren. His closest comrade, gone to some unknown people.

As this happens, he heard a voice. A deep voice spoke to him. It said, "Human. I feel the losses that you have experienced. Do not be afraid, I am here to offer you power. I, too, would like to become more powerful." Dietrich, at this point had an empty heart and felt almost nothing. He heard the voice and was skeptical about it. He thought he was hallucinating from his own loss of blood. The voice spoke to him again, "Human. I am not here to take your body in return for power. I am willing to help you, so long as you help me too. What say we make a pact, to the stronger versions for ourselves."

Dietrich yearned for more power, he wanted to protect the people he loved and held close to him. He accepted the voice and made a deal. Suddenly, Dietrich's skin started to look dark, a black magic was surrounding his body, then he passed out. In his subconscious, Dietrich was in an empty white plane. He saw a figure. standing before him. As he went closer to the figure, it revealed itself to be an unknown creature. It looked evil, and menacing. The creature revealed itself to be the demon Ymir. Dietrich had only thought of such a thing to be a myth, but he was wrong. Ymir spoke to Dietrich and they both made an agreement. Ymir would give Dietrich his powers, but in return, Ymir would reside within Dietrich's body. Both would be one being to become more powerful. Their minds are separate, but their bodies are one.

Then Dietrich woke up. He was still in the cave, a dead Lukas in his arms, and frost coming out from his hands. He put Lukas' body down, and froze it with his hands. He knew he had gained some sort of unknown power. Ymir's voice spoke to him again. "Go. Go and do what must be done." Dietrich knew what he had to do. He buried Lukas' frozen dead body in the cave, and left to seek revenge. He went back to the place his comrades' lives were taken from and found the primitive-looking humans looting the dead bodies of his comrades. They saw Dietrich and began to attack him, but before they could do anything, they were frozen in place. Whole bodies stopped mid-action as they were frozen and killed by the sheer cold. Dietrich's right arm started to glow a fiery blue flame of ice, and it also grew claws. He walked towards the frozen bodies, and took one of their fur coats. He buried his comrades in the same cave as Lukas, and began his journey back home. Thus began Dietrich and Ymir's relationship.

### Romantical Encounter

Roughly 2 years after his encounter with Ymir, Dietrich went on to retire from being part of the guards and lived a peaceful life in a rural area in the country. It was a cold winter night, and Dietrich was was chopping wood in the forest until he heard rustling in the bushes nearby. He went on to investigate cautiously, and on the other side he saw a woman, laying down as if she had been severely exhausted. The woman looked like she passed out, and Dietrich saw a breath come out of her mouth. She was alive, barely alive. Dietrich brought her back to his home and lit the fireplace. He gave her some blankets and laid her down on a fur carpet on the floor next to the fireplace. The next morning, Dietrich was making some tea and the woman woke up. She was confused and was weary of where she was. This was the beginning of a new relationship that Dietrich would have and care for the rest of his life.

The woman's name was Jazmin Zietler. She is a woman from a nearby town, she ran away from home because the townspeople thought she was a witch, and she was cursed. Apparently, Jazmin's body was also harboring a demon by the name of Melascula. Dietrich told Jazmin of his encounter with the demon Ymir and they shared breakfast whilst talking about their respective stories. The two became close, and even fell in love with each other. Years pass by and they both lived peacefully in this house in the middle of a forest, far from any other town. Since they both made a pact with a demon, their normal human lifespans were extended, technically they could live forever now, just like any other demon. So they lived on for hundreds of years, even until today.

### Over 500 Years of Service

In the 500 years within Dietrich's life, he served in many wars and went under many different names. He lived in the same house with Jazmin for most of this time, until eventually they had to move out since towns were expanding and wars moved close to their humble abode. His most notable acts were made in WWI where he fought as a tactician and in the frontlines, and in WWII where he fought alongside Hitler, became his 2nd-in-command, and eventually took over as the leader of the German Union. After becoming the leader of the German Union, Dietrich is responsible for most if not all the military moves that the German Union makes in the current ongoing wars. He is currently also the lead supervisor of Project Superion.

### Family

Dietrich soon started a family. He married the love of his life, Jazmin Zietler in 1899 and they had a son named Dex von Xavier who was born in 1990. They both kept their secret demon powers to themselves, and have never revealed it to the public. Dex, their son, was birthed as a half-human-half-demon hybrid of sorts. Though even until today, Dex's demon form has yet to emerge.

## Abilities

**Immaculate Memory:** Dietrich is able to remember a lot of things. Due to the demon which resides in him, his human capabilities have been extended to that of a demon's. He can not only live for longer, but also memorize more things throughout his life. The demon Ymir's memories are also imbued into Dietrich's memory. This includes Ymir's life, knowledge, and even spells.

**War Strategist:** Dietrich has a powerful mind that has been trained over hundreds of years of war. He is an adept war strategist and is capable of strategizing and organizing his military to gain the upper hand in war.

**Physical Strength:** Dietrich is not only mentally and magically capable, he is also physically capable. Due to Ymir, Dietrich's physical capabilities are further enhanced than his already capable physique as a soldier. He is able to lift and handle things up to 10x his weight and size. He is also able to run at faster speeds than a normal human being, up to about 15km/h. Nowadays though, he prefers to use his magical abilities to do all these things.

### Magic and Demon Powers

Due to his immaculate memory, Dietrich is able to cast spells without having to bring grimoires, spellbooks, or runes everywhere. He is able to memorize every and all spells that he has learned throughout his life. Before having the interaction with Ymir, Dietrich actually had no magic whatsoever. He had no knowledge of spells, or even dabbled in the magical arts.

**Ice Magic:** Dietrich's main power is his ice magic. He is able to manipulate ice and frost at his will. His magical capabilities rival even the Champions of gods.

**The Eternal Frost:** Dietrich has control over the powers of the Eternal Frost. This ability was given to Dietrich due to the pact that was created with him and Ymir. The Eternal Frost allows its user to control ice, create ice, and more. It can also be used to create and control something called True Ice.

**True Ice Magic:** True Ice is part of the powers of The Eternal Frost, which only the demon, Ymir can create and use. Compared to normal ice, True Ice cannot melt and inherits demon magic. Due to having a pact with Ymir, Dietrich can control True Ice and create his own weapons and even beings created from True Ice. Others who cannot control True Ice freeze to death just from a touch, unless they have the capabilities to dispel or defend themselves from the effects. Powerful magic users that can manipulate and control ice, such as an Ice Champion have the effects delayed, but not mitigated.

**True Ice Wings:** Wings made of demon magic and True Ice can be created. Dietrich is able to fly and float with these wings.
