Bikkjekaldt

Bikkjekaldt, the Cold One.

## Summary

Bikkjekaldt is Galbar's god of cold. He lives in Nifl and wanders Galbar as his avatar Renvontulet. At the dawn of creation, his omnipresence vanished forcing him to descend and place his mark on the world to maintain balance.

## Domain(s)

### Cold

Cold exists before and exists after. As the embodiment of cold Bikk embraces the frigid chill and all it encompasses and causes. Having a viable presence anywhere a lack of temperature can be found, cold is an ever-present possibility in many a locale.

## Portfolio(s)

### Ice

From the smallest symmetrical snowflake melting on a child’s tongue to enormous land-shaping glaciers, ice takes many forms. Bikk can manipulate ice freely into any construct.

## Realm

### Nifl

Nifl is a harsh wilderness of barren tundra, mountainous crags and polar tundra. Concentric circles of terrain segment the realm, the edge most rolling hills of tundra belying the harsher journey to the centre. Passed the roaming herds of shaggy beasts in biting winds a large range of razor-sharp cliffs emerges, their rivers of ice feeding the frigid meanders of the outer tundra. Behind the mountains lies a maze of taiga stalked by a menagerie of beasts before it opens out onto a seemingly endless plain of pure white snow and sky. It is in the centre of this void that Bikk returns to a large wooden hall filled with furs, food and roaring fires.

## Persona

Being the god of cold, it seems only natural that Bikk comes across as cold-hearted. His brutal honesty and tendency to say it like it makes him come across as harsh, not unlike biting winter winds that cut right through you. However, Bikk seeks the warmth of happiness of his own. He knows this may be a challenge given his domain, but he is determined to make a name for himself whether this is for better or worse for the world as a whole. And yet, perhaps this is not as far-fetched an idea as one might think.

His domain of cold lends itself to loneliness and remoteness at the same time as forcing people to come together to share and create whatever warmth they can. Thus, Bikk enjoys the human intimacy that his coldness brings and continues to crave it for himself. He pursues this through his avatar but as the designer of snowflakes, he has a deep respect for order and calm, ultimately knowing he is required for balance in Galdar and can not spend all his time chasing Galdarian (sp?) delights. In maintaining equilibrium he is more than happy to work with other deities to achieve this.

## **Appearance**

### Base Form

   Naked. Smooth. Uncertain. Androgenous. Light. Dark. Strong. Agile. Light. Heavy. A beautiful and strange vision of contradictions.

Bikk's base form coalesced from his admiration of Gibbou at the dawn of the world. The 9-foot athletic figure has pale skin is clad in a pearlescent costume of pure ice. Cloth spun from the colour of deep glacial ice is wrapped around his chest and neck, flowing from his head as a veil and cloak.

Probably the most noticeable feature is his headdress, a half-sphere of purest white. Its adornments reflect both Gibbou's crescent crown and his own ice shards and icicles.

### Domain Form

Bikk may choose to appears as a pale figure clad wholly in white. At 7-foot he cuts an imposing figure with snow-white hair, piercing eyes and crisp facial tattoos. He wears white robes, cloak and silver gauntlets, topped with a bolero of Lumimyrsky feathers and chain of never melting ice.
