*"A crazy, cryptic open book."* — Sir Ice Man

**Ice-Man** (アイスマン, *Aisu Man*?) is a Soul who was a Fullbringer in life.

## Background

Ice-Man was born over a thousand years ago in Delhi, India to a middle-class family who raised him in a Hindu culture, though he later converted to irreligious theism. He spent most of his childhood in Kashmir. At the age of 21, he committed suicide, and was sent to Soul Society, much to his disappointment, as he expected nothingness upon death.

Though he aspired to be a Shinigami, he was denied admission in Shin'ō Academy because of his Hollow-like abilities of Fullbring. He eventually left Soul Society to "walk the Earth" as a drifter.

## Appearance

Ice-Man is a man of decent stature, standing a few inches shy of six feet. A man with dark brown eyes, Ice-Man has a rough, tanned skin. His chest is well-toned with bloated abs and pectoral muscles. He has brightly-colored blue hair and sideburns of length that may need some reconsideration. He has a chiseled jawline and a clefted chin. He also has a large nose.

## Personality

Ice-Man is described by those around him as a strange and bizarre man. While he is can be quite stern and grumpy at some times, he can also be extremely cheerful and energetic at others. His erratic personality often confuses others, leaving them unable to form an opinion about him. Because of this, many people around him never manage to fully understand him. Ice-Man is very unpredictable in his choices and actions. While he sometimes seems to be some sort of enigma, preferring solitude, keeping his feelings close to his chest, and being distant from others, he also does not hesitate to express his opinions and speak without filtering his words, even going as far as to unexpectedly share some of his most private feelings, which he never shared with even his closest companions, with a complete stranger.

Ice has a habitual tendency of echoing his own words when he talks. This is attributed to his upbringing in the valleys; in his boyhood days, his words echoed in the valleys whenever he raised his voice. Thus, the echo of his own voice soothes him.

Ice-Man has severe issues with anger. He is highly impulsive and does not think twice before acting. As a child, whenever he used to get in an argument with anyone, he would irrationally attack the person in front of him with anything he laid his hands on. This caused him to hurt a lot of people, including those close to him, several times. In his later years, he preferred to hurt himself during his outbursts instead, while trying his utmost to not even lay a hand on anyone else. It was his self-harming tendencies that led to his suicide at a young age. A thousand years of drifting has dome little to dampen his temper, though he is now less prone to outbursts, and has instead developed a "cold fury".

Ice-Man has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. If things would not go exacty as he planned them, he would get extraordinarily disturbed. He hates clutter and anything that is messy and out of lines disturbs him.

Ice-Man wants speed and madness from his life. In his own words, he wishes to fly, to run, to leap, and to fall as long as he does not stop. Even as a young boy, he was obsessed with seeking excitement. When he was nine, he climbed up a hill rumored to be inhabited by ghosts at midnight just to get a beautiful view from the peak in the morning. A truly exciting moment brings ecstasy to him; a boring one agitates him. He can be very volatile when he is bored. His actions usually depend solely on his mood; he is enormously uncompromising and acts mostly on impulse without consulting others or contemplating the consequences.

Ice-Man is shy and easy to embarrass. He does, however, have a good sense of humor, and loves to troll everyone around him, be it friend or foe. One of his favorite tricks is to psyche others out by predicting what they will say or do next.

Ice-Man loves celebrations. He celebrates festivals even though he is irreligious. He also enjoys chaos and fighting as long nothing too serious occurs. While fighting, he often smiles, expressing his immense joy and excitement. However, despite his impulsive nature and love for combat, he is wise enough to know when to retreat and give up a fight. He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted and tries his utmost to keep a cool mind even in the direst of situations, though he does have a tendency of suddenly losing his temper.

Ice-Man's retreats are mostly strategic retreats. He prefers fights that he would either lose without any repercussions or win. While he relishes a great challenge, he would like to avoid any confrontation with grave consequences; he would indulge in such a confrontation only in a moment of impulse or if he is out of options.

One of the most noteworthy traits of Ice-Man is his enormous love for movies. He regards movies to be the greatest works of art and has huge respect for the talents of those who make good movies, though he may not respect the persons themselves. He loathes being interrupted while watching a movie and might react violently if he is. His colossal passion for movies causes him to not only quote movie dialogues and pick up mannerisms of certain characters, but also prioritize movies over most things, so much so that he devotes six to twelve hours in his day solely for watching movies. He is also a passionate lover of music. While not watching movies, he uses a music player to listen to music (especially the melodies and songs featured in his favorite movies), sometimes even in the middle of combat.

In combat, Ice-Man indiscriminately fights his opponents ruthlessly, no matter their gender or age. He has no qualms about striking foes when they are down and sometimes, even takes delight in pummeling them, especially if they are annoying kids. However, he hates killing, and would avoid killing whenever he can. While he has no qualms to kill Hollows, for their eradication would lead to their purification, he despises the Quincy method of destroying souls outright, and thus refuses to cooperate with them on principle.
