CHARACTER INFORMATION
Appearance:
Taking up a well-toned body with pale white skin, Ayumu looks almost like something out of a samurai manga according to his peers. He is known to wear traditional clothing when not in his uniform, which is customized to a stark white color with a hood and long flowing sleeves to keep him warm. His eyes are a piercing blue color, lacking the sparkle of his peers around him. They seem almost dull in a way, despite the way he so boldly carries himself and helps teach his underclassmen. The right side of his face is scarred from a past frostburn that he has had for as long as he can remember. His face has odd shaped tattoo-like marks that never disappear that are familiar to the leading members of his Clan. His ears are both pierced, usually seen to be wearing dangling blue earrings. His body is littered in scars from past battles, including frost burn scars all over his hands and chest. His white hair is long in the back, reaching down to his ribcage, with the front being a tiny bit disheveled and short. His body is naturally very cold, and his scent is vaguely similar to freshly picked mint if one has a good enough nose.
Personality:
Upon first glance, Ayumu seems to be almost void of emotion- stone cold and avoidant of proper interactions if they aren't needed. Those who choose to not be affected by such airs about him tend to see a bit more of him, possibly noticing that he carries a look of loneliness in his eyes despite the dullness in them. It is hard to tell what he is thinking sometimes, and that usually irritates most around him. He is secretive and untrusting, holding himself very well as to not let his emotions spill past the lid. Despite this, he is very capable of being responsible and mature; if anything, he's almost obsessed with the idea of being well put together. Advances to befriend him or court him is usually met with cold indifference, Ayumu keeping a certain distance from them but not pushing them away completely. This has led to him befriending people with more cheerful, stubborn personalities like Toge or those like Maki and Megumi with calmer personalities. He seems to enjoy the company of those he is close to, particularly the teachers. When someone boldly courts him, he tends to show a softer side- easily flustered by romantic gifts; and yet he hides that under a stubborn act of indifference as well. He usually fawns over the attention he's given when he's alone. Because of his appearance, he was often the object of affections in middle school and finds headstrong women to be a bit harder to deal with. He seems to find children adorable, but doesn't speak about wanting his own in the future. There seems to be a trigger for his anger when it comes to Cursed Spirits, mostly against vengeful spirits or ones whom manipulate humans. When it comes to his underclassmen, despite being distant from them; he feels a deep duty to protect them if they get hurt, uncaring of his own safety to throw himself in the way of them to defend them.
Story:
Ayumu was the firstborn of twins, three minutes older than his younger sister Mei. His sister was born rather sickly and weak, but Ayumu was very fond of her even from a young age. They grew up together mostly happy, until Ayumu had been 'chosen' by the Cursed Spirit of his family's bloodline, Yuki-Onna- marked with the odd symbols on his face that had appeared one random day while the twins were playing outside. At six, Ayumu had discovered the passed down destiny that every direct descendent of the Kiyo family had been subjected to in return for the power of the snow spirit that haunted them. His discovery of the fact that Mei would be a sacrifice to Yuki-Onna in return for her power as a future Jujutsu Sorcerer had enraged him, the young boy desperate to save his twin from such a tragic fate. However, his rejection was ignored and Mei had been sacrificed right in front of him, frozen solid and shattered into pieces by his parents before being burned to ashes by the cult members soon after. Ever since then, Yuki-Onna had been attached and absorbed into his body, haunting Ayumu from that day on and protecting him in order to pass his Curse on to the next generation. However, according to Yuki-Onna, if Ayumu speaks about how he received her power in too much detail, the person he speaks to will be internally consumed by overflowing cold and frost and die a painful, agonizing death. The only exception to this is if he finds his 'soulmate', a particular person whom is immune to his Curse- and the only person who knows about the details of it and lived if he told them. However, once they know, they also cannot discuss the Curse to others or they will die themselves. Once his 'soulmate' dies, he is granted another but the cycle merely repeats. Because of this, he keeps his distance from people and avoids talking too much about Yuki-Onna.
Abilities and Powers:
1. [Frostbitten Touch] - During battle, those who get too close to Ayumu will feel a painful frost crawl up the body part that's closest to him. Touching causes frostbite to form, slowly freezing his opponent's body part until it's solid. He can turn this off and on at will, but it is usually controlled by Yuki-Onna's own possessive behavior and need to protect him. Because of this, he tends to fight in close combat.
2. [Cursed Energy Control] - Having trained for years even before he came to the College, Ayumu spent most of his time training to control his Cursed Energy that once was so intense it made the air around him cold and heavy. He keeps a tight lid on it most of the time so it can't be felt by those who weren't skilled enough to detect. However, when the lid comes off, he shows intense discipline and control over his intense amount of Cursed Energy.
3. [Yuki-Onna Manifestation] - An inherited technique. When in direct danger, Yuki-Onna is known to manifest in the form of a overhanging woman that is seen to cradle Ayumu's form, hair draping over his head like a veil. She uses her own body to protect his own, firing off sharp shards of ice and summoning walls of them to protect him. However, her manifesting takes quite a bit of Cursed Energy, and having her out for too long leads to frostbite slowly eating at his skin in random places.
4. [Superhuman Reflexes & Speed] - He tends to react quickly to only physical attacks due to Yuki-Onna's watchful gaze and whispers of warning in his ear. Because of this, he has adapted to such reflexes with incredible speed.
5. [Curtain] - Ayumu can create a barrier that surrounds a certain area. The barrier is capable of sealing the area off from other people or a specific person wanting to get in.
6. [Winter Paradise] - Ayumu's Domain Expansion. It creates a space of a frost-covered cave-like world consumed by intense, frigid cold. Here, Yuki-Onna can surface freely and consume those she touches in a deadly permafrost. Ayumu's control over this is very limited, as it can be quite fragile and come back to fatally harm him as well.
7. [Dual Martial Artist] - Ayumu is heavily trained and proficient in Judo, and is very well known for causing painful injuries in the past when in fights. Against humans, he is a formidable opponent whom can easily knock the breath out of his match by grabbing and tossing, letting gravity do the rest of the damage. However, Judo is most effective on an opponent wearing clothes. When he is facing a Cursed Spirit, he uses a modernized version Muay That, a striking martial arts that targets exposed extremeties. His strikes are encased with Cursed Energy, dealing heavy damage if they land- backed up with his Frostbitten Touch.
8. [Cold Resistance] - When in contact with anything cold outside of Yuki-Onna's own powers, he tends to be unaffected by it. However, this makes him weak to heat-based fighters who use Cursed Energy-infused attacks.
Trivia:
- His favorite food is taiyaki. He is known to have a sweet tooth for anything sweet and warm, though.
- He is allergic to cats despite having a fond adoration for them, often sneezing and crying when in the company of one.
- Despite being terrified of being in a relationship due to his Curse, he is a hopeless romantic and secretly has a large stash of romance manga and novels in his dorm room closet.
- He's not a fan of bugs; tends to be quite vicious towards them.
- He's an Aquarius, born on February 13th.
- His favorite color is actually violet, with his favorite flower being purple Morning Glories.
- He takes pride in the fact that he has a small flower garden in his room's windowsill.
- Despite the immense power he wields, he is known to suffer from coughing up blood from overusing his abilities. The Cursed Energy tends to become too much for him to take if he holds it in for too long, so he is often seen freezing random small objects to release small amounts of it at a time.
