Jack Rime

## Overview

Jack Rime is a human who swallowed some Deep-Freeze Ice by accident. He has since been able to generate more Deep-Freeze Ice, and is immune to the cold. Rime goes to the extreme cold of nature to avoid people, but is willing to help if the are able to find him. He is believed to have the potential to beat anyone, but does not train and thus is unable to do so. Rime is trapped in a constant permafrost, and is unable to age.

## Personality

Rime is very isolated, and tries to avoid contact with other humans. He does not kill those he meets, and takes care of his guests, but is rude to them because he's always trying to get them to leave. However, if anyone seeks him out to rejoin society, or disturbs his way of life, they will regret it.

## History

### Origins

Rime was abducted by Chaos, who took him out for drinks. They were drinking Chaos’s homemade apple juice, which requires ice cubes made of Deep-Freeze Ice to keep it from moving. This is because Chaos uses Russian apples, where you don't drink apple juice, apple juice drinks you. Rime accidentally swallowed an ice cube, which decreased his body to slightly below absolute zero. He then fell to Earth, and accidentally caused the recent polar vortex while learning to control his power.

### Meeting Mortifarious

Mortifarious was testing the camouflage of his naturally white skin in Antarctica, when he was complaining loudly about the cold. This woke Rime from his nap, which he was grumpy about. Rime went outside and started yelling at Mortifarious, who was surprised that a seemingly ordinary human could tolerate Antarctica in just T-shirt, and immediately thought Rime was some kind of supervillain, and decided to play superhero and defeat the villain. Mort shot a bolt of electricity at Rime’s chest, but Rime froze the lightning before it got to him. This is when they both discovered that Deep-Freeze Ice expands explosively when it comes into contact pure electricity. they were both knocked unconscious, but Mort woke up first. He shot another bolt of lightning at the enormous chunk of Deep-Freeze Ice, however Rime woke up just in time and was able to avert the sudden growth directly upwards. Mort apologized, them decided to explain to Rime about the Eternals, and all the things they have done. Rime asked Mort to get him if the earth was ever threatened, to which he agreed. Thus they parted ways, until it was time for things to happen

### Defeating Servon

Soon after Rime met Mortifarious, Servon was attempting to destroy the Aeonic Universe again, assumably for the last time. The Eternals weren't doing anything, as Chaos was having a tea party, Darkness was in another Chaos-induced coma, Rahmentart wasn't in the dimension, and Order was obsessively training to beat Chaos. Rime and Mort decided to team up and take Servon down themselves. Rime was able to distract Servon for about a week, by constantly refreezing his limbs, and was wearing Servon down. This went on long enough for Mort to create a new pocket dimension.
At this point they switched places, and Mort distracted Servon with his lightning, and was miraculously able to prevent Servon from creating more Shadow Gas and increasing his power. While Mort was doing this, Rime was preparing the actual prison within Mort’s pocket dimension, and created a European style castle-like prison entirely out of Deep-Freeze Ice. Rime rejoined Mort in the battle against Servon, and they both made a strategic retreat into the pocket dimension.
They lead Servon into the deepest chamber within the castle, then attacked Servon. Servon was unable to hold then both off, and Mort electrified the entire prison. The pure electricity caused a reaction within the ice that caused it to rapidly expand, trapping Servon completely. Actually, if Rime hadn't been there, Mort wouldn't have escaped being trapped there as well. After the battle Mort and Rime parted ways on good terms, and Mort still uses the castle Rime constructed as a vacation home. There hasn't been anyone strong enough that they have had to team up again, but they some still do just for old time's sake. They are fairly good friends, but sometimes lose touch with each other.

### Peribit Anima War

Alex Res was contacting people with special abilities in order to investigate Peribit Anima, and destroy them if needed. Rime was among the people he gathered at Mort's tower.

Res took charge and assigned everyone roles. Pinnae and Melodia were merely to gain intel, and Res would help get them in, since he had already been contacted about joining them. Mystik, **Jack Rime**, Peiriant Ynni, and Manou would stay at the tower to tend to the comatose Mortifarious. Ynni, Manou, and Rime would also protect both Mystik and Mort from any further kidnapping attempts.

#### Obliteration

When word got back from Res that Peribit Anima was to be destroyed, everyone but Mort and Manou left to deal with it, with the former being comatose and the latter caring for the comatose former. As soon as the group got to the base, they split up for efficiancy.

Rime ended up entering the training section of the base, but was filling rooms with Deep Freeze Ice, including the people inside, until he finds a large, open, gymnasium like area where a young man, seemingly in his twenties, was giving a speech to a large audience. Unnoticed, Rime decided to find out what the speech was about. After a few minutes, he realized it was about souls and their relation to memories and magic. At this point, Rime decides to interrupt, saying that magic can also be sourced outside the soul, and originates from being called Eternals. At that comment, the speech giver announced that they haven't been proven to exist, and Rime replied by sayying he was proof.

"My name is Orozath, the most powerful mage in the history of Earth, and if you're under the delusional that you are an Eternal, allow me to put you in your place."

Rime generated a block of ice above his head, which immediately vanished. The floor started shaking, and Orozath appeared behind him.

"The closest we've ever found to what Eternals are supposedly capable are Mystik and Mortifarious, which. while mighty, are still no where near the power of Eternals."

Rime froze the floor around him, but Orozath was suddenly floating. Rime was struck by a bolt of lightning and screamed in pain.

"Mortifarious did manage to kill me, but as a Barren I will always come back, and now I'm younger, stronger, more clear-headed, just all around better."

Orozath dodge a blast of cold, then countered with his own ice attack. Rime froze Orozath's ice and shattered it.

"I've lived for thousands of years, and have perfected My magic throughout that time. You can't win"

"Shut your damn mouth!" Rime roared also freezing Orozath's lips shut. Due to Orozath being unable to speak, Rime started his own monologue.

"After what you did to Mort, You're never going to see the light of day again. I'm not an Eternal, but Mort and Mystik are the sons of Eternals. You, sir, have *royally* screwed yourself over."

Rime caught Orozath's hand and snapped it off. It was Orozath's turn to scream.

"You think you're safe because you even come back after dying? What about if I don't *let* you die? The Eternal Chaos is the reason I have my powers, so I'll avenge Mortifarious for both myself and Chaos. Even if you can't die, my ice can't be melted."

As Rime froze Orozath solid, he said the simple one-liner:"I win."

The Audience ran in terror, because the most powerful mage was just decimated in combat.

"Onwards to the next room I guess."

As Rime continued, he ended up finding Res. They decided to stick together for a while. They eventually got to a heavy door. Just as the were about to open it, Primus flew through, and told them to run. He shot a blast of Satanic Light, which almost immediately returned. Rime and Res decided to run. Primus explained the situation as they ran. Rime decided to cover the way the came from with Deep-Freeze Ice. Mystik portaled in front of them, and hit Primus's arm so hard it was torn off. Rime and Res were too shocked to move, and Primus was in too much pain.

Mystik strolled towards the severed arm, picked it up, removed the ring from the finger, and put it on himself. At this point his skin was the same shade of violet as his hair and staff. He started glowing, blinding the others. A geyser of Blue Flame erupted from him, burning all the way through the mountain, reaching into the sky, possibly higher than Mortifarious's tower. The geyser started changing, and turned into an avatar. Mystik floated to the center. Primus grew as large as possible, and tried to combat him. Mystik's avatar grabbed Primus's by the arms, flung him straight up. It is unknown where he landed, or even if he landed. Using his avatar, he announced loud enough to be heard throughout the base "If you want to live, leave now". Immediately after, Res threw his dagger at the avatar, and it sucked up most of the flame. After that failed, he was opening portals throughout the base, all leading to Mort's tower. He and Rime were hopping through portals to find Peiriant Ynni. Mystik was creating a massive ball of fire, so they were on a time limit.

They managed to find him, and left immediately.
