CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE: Image pending! Icicle tends to dress in an intentionally non-descript and veiled manner, usually wearing a hood and a mask. Beyond that, she is a typical Acrosian.
IMAGE CREDIT: WIP?
BACKGROUND: Icicle has spent nearly her entire life under someone else's boot. Be it space pirates, the Acrosian Empire or her own mother, she lives like a shadow. It is difficult to blame Icicle for this given her upbringing: being born within a coven of witches does not make for a well-adjusted person. Life on Acrose was spent three ways; as a royal, serving royals or eating dirt. Her mother not lucky enough for the former and Icicle was determined enough for the latter: thus, she dedicated herself to learning their ways, developing a terrifying assortment of ethereal powers. Icicle's mom intended to make her daughter independent and strong, but to that end she practically refused to ever show her child love or warmth; Icicle acted accordingly.
One fateful day, years after leaving the Coven and becoming a reputable assassin, she was asked to take-out some backwater mechanic by the name of Sol. At the time, she thought little of the job, yet Sol proved to be an unbearably resilient creature, always managing to escape her just as she got on her toes. She chased him far beyond the bounds of her job, with her pursuit of the Konatsian becoming something of a hobby alongside her usual bounties. The one time she finally had him in her grasp, ready to prove once and for all that she was superior--
--they landed in jail. With both Sol and Icicle intent on escaping, they spent years plotting together in their cells; as unlikely as it seemed, the Acrosian found herself warming up to the bounty hunter, finding an unusual sense of comraderie with them. By the time they finally escape, they swung out as something resembling lovers.
That, however, was seven years ago, and much has changed since then. Instead of returning to her hideout on Acrose, Icicle took refuge on Sol's spaceship. Fiery as their relationship might have been, they broke apart, yet growing closer to Sol and learning of his backstory had a profound influence on her worldview. Her ruthless, indiscriminate assassinations, once seen as a simple fact of life, had now become cruel to Icicle. She had committed herself to focusing her violence, using it for the betterment of the universe than for her own selfish ends--
--and what better way to do that than by hunting down the Coven 'til the ends of the galaxy?
