GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Isikiy Bleakfrost
NAME PUN: Esky, a brand of portable cooler
ALIASES: N/A
AGE: 203
[SUPREMACY] - CORE
When engaged with a foe that has sustained 100% or more damage, you gain a +10% boost to all techniques when attacking or defending against them, but you may not boost these techniques with momentum. If the target heals below 100%, this effect is lost.
[DURABILITY] - CORE
Once per thread, after all other damage reductions, reduce an incoming attack’s power by an additional 40%.
[INDESTRUCTIBLE] - OPTIONAL
Your wound threshold is increased by +1. This extra wound is treated the same as your second for its timers. In addition, should you join a death-enabled AT with 0 wounds and die, you may instead opt to live and take 3 wounds at once. Doing this results in a Penalty timer of 6 months.

STARTING PLANET: Arcose
HOME REGION: Bitter Poles, Arcose.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE:
Isikiy is an Arcosian with dark blue armor, blue bio-gems, black undercoat mesh and white skin. As an Arcosian, Isikiy has multiple forms that he is able to use, each following form more powerful than the one before it, they are described below.
Encased Form standing at 5’5"/164cm height is Isikiy’s ’suppressed’ state, wherein no bio-gem is visible and he is covered with flexible armor plating of a blueish grey hue. In essence, he has locked all of his fearsome power, quite literally, in some form of shell.
Jagged Form standing at 9’7"/295cm height is Isikiy’s ’brute’ state, in this form, bio-gems become visible but as expected, every single one present is jagged and sharp in some way, so too is the majority of his armor as well as facial features.
Cluster Form standing at 15’1"/460cm height is Isikiy’s ’monster’ state, and in this form multiple multicoloured sets of bio-gems can be seen all over his body in various groupings, though his regular blue bio-gems are still present as well.
Refined Form standing at 5’7"/173cm height is Isikiy’s ’true’ state and current height of his power. Said form is where aspects of his ’buffer’ forms originate from, being the best known version of all of them in a single form.
BACKGROUND:
Potential. Power. Birthright. Legacy. These are the four cornerstones dictating the culture of Arcosian families, and the Bleakfrost family is no exception to this.
Though, perhaps not in the way one might think.
It all began in the early times of Arcosian history, thousands of years ago when the building blocks of their society formed. A gifted young Arcosian of a rising clan showed great potential in the field of science— what was once called alchemy. This young Arcosian, through their knowledge, gained power in their clan, claiming leadership of it and securing it to be the birthright of future progeny. The presence of the Bleakfrost clan was cemented securely by this young one’s potential.
For many years the Bleakfrost clan of Arcosians would lead the charge in many fields of progress, though eventually certain fields were better suited to other clans or families. The Bleakfrost clan kept their sights on the science of furthering ones potential, to understand, then break limitations presented to them. Soon enough, the one that started it all would grow old, leaving leadership to their children who would build upon the work their parent had accomplished.
From there, after further research and development by those that inherited the original legacy, the Bleakfrost lineage would be known for their feats in biology and genetic therapy. This would lead to a family business of sorts where they would provide services based on the knowledge they had attained. They were commissioned to pioneer systems that would produce soldiers from test tubes, create clones, do away with genetic diseases from birth, and ensure that couples unable to conceive children of their own could have a gene accurate child essentially fabricated for them with science.
It would be this way for many many years, and even still unto the present day as the technology available advanced further to make those services easier. The most suitable child of the Bleakfrost clan leader would inherit the position once the current leader was too old to lead.
Eventually, this leadership would fall on Zikyube; who would go on to head projects commissioned by many accomplished Arcosians. One of which being Lord Hibernal, who had asked for a genetic clone of himself to have as a form of successor in the event of his demise.
Zikyube would have a son of his own eventually, and like the cycle thus far, he would one day deem himself too old to lead; giving said leadership to his son Y’cboks who would also be the head of similar projects; though he mostly preferred the ones that didn’t involve creating soldiers and such, having an obvious bias towards commissions that would allow people to have their own children— in fact it is recorded in the Bleakfrost business ledger that he has the highest record of such transactions thus far!
Still, one day Y’cboks would have a conundrum. You see, he had quite a few children himself, seven in fact, and he wasn’t precisely sure who would be most fitting to be the next leader! Some were a smidge too callous, others were immature and all he really had to work with in any sense of the word were the ones that weren’t yet interested— among the disinterested was Isikiy, the middle child.
An odd boy in his youth and a strangely odd-er man in adulthood. Isikiy had what a few in Arcosian society saw as a bizarre perception of the world, reasoning that nobody could truly be ‘useless’ when people need not be used, that the idea one owes anything to chance was preposterous, and firmly believing that the circumstances of one’s birth do not define them as a whole. He grew to have the compulsion to think of the bigger picture almost constantly, think many steps ahead even when it was seemingly unneeded.
The strangest thing was, this mindset got him through life just fine, into and out of trouble like the flow of a river. Isikiy thought big, but he had little in the way of direction as far as Y’cboks could tell, which was pretty much the best this dad would have to work with.
So, a test was devised, one that could confirm Y’cboks’ suspicions, figure out who would be the best successor as leader to the Bleakfrost name and give Isikiy some sort of direction to point his far-thinking in!
The test was a wily and sneaky one, one that intended to show the true colours of Y’cboks’ children, ascertain what their stance was on the family legacy and how they would handle it. Three of them fell short of what was necessary and had to concede, another three believed they were innately deserving for one reason or another and effectively disqualified themselves— the only one left that met the standards with a mature stance on the matter. To the stunned surprise of his six siblings— it was Isikiy. How could this be possible, they objected profusely, but Isikiy admitted to the fact that he saw the test coming, he predicted it; and the reason he had little interest in inheriting the lead role of the Bleakfrost family was that he did not see himself as ready to do so, even if it would ultimately land on him since nobody else was worthy.
In being the only one tackling the test earnestly, with a mature level head, honest about his thoughts, feelings and faults, Isikiy would at some point in the future become the leader of his clan— but Y’cboks understood his son’s hesitance, so he made a deal with Isikiy, in that he could be trained to lead under his father’s wing. He would be given administrative tasks such as looking into project proposals and familiarising himself with what was currently going on in the family business in greater detail than by association with his father.
In time, Isikiy could be built into the right kind of leader. After all, he had potential. He had a powerful mind. It was his birthright. So the question is, what would he make into legacy?

COMBAT INFORMATION
TECHNIQUES:
|| Offense || Light || Rough Cut (Slash Wave)
Isikiy focuses energy into one of his appendages to create a crackling slashing force which he can use either in physical combat or at range.
Power: 40%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants:
|| Defense || Medium || Detachment Fault
Isikiy lets out a burst of energy that seemingly shatters him— this is actually a feint, as he simply uses that illusion to dodge an incoming attack.
Power: 90%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Evasive
|| Offense || Heavy || Fine Cut (Defined Slash Wave)
Isikiy focuses a considerably large amount of energy into one of his appendages to create a shimmering, swirling slashing force which he can use either in physical combat or at range with great impact.
Power: 100%
KP Cost: 6 KP
Variants:
|| Defense || Heavy Sparking || Crystal Force Fracture
Isikiy rolls together several plumes of crackling energy around himself at an increasing pace until they sequentially implode and ’crack’ the very air around him, giving the illusion that reality itself has been smashed like glass— in truth it is a unique field of energy that causes immense disruption in attacks sent his way.
Power: 70%
KP Cost: 5 KP
Variants: Shield+, Heavy Metal
Utility Technique || Personal Finesse
Isikiy has even finer control over his ki than most Arcosians, which allows him to suppress his Power Level to a minimum of 1 PL to either hide himself or use this lower PL to fight those weaker than his full strength on even footing. This technique is passive and does not use KP.
Utility Technique || Megamorphosis
Isikiy is keenly in tune with the various forms his people take, as such, he has developed and honed the ability to alter his appearance. This grants him the ability to change colour and shapeshift in various ways; including but not exactly limited to, morphing into strange forms between the norm of an Arcosian, creating ’new’ ones on the fly and weaponizing this metamorphosis into his fighting style. This technique is passive and does not use KP.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Originally the Main, but has since been converted to a Lackey as stated [HERE]
I’d like the starting forms to be renamed as follows:
Brute Form = Jagged FormMonster Form = Cluster Form
True Form = Refined Form
