Name: Ethan (Iggy) Shimura
Age: 19
Appearance:
[
ETHAN] [
IGGY]
Ethan is a well put together mess while also appearing both vulnerable and strong, but not weak. No, Ethan has a decent build, being slightly skinny but more or less wiry. He has clear muscle definition, it's just hidden underneath all of his clothes that he buries himself in to hide his usually unnatural temperature. The one thing he can’t hide is his height, however. Ethan is very tall, standing about six feet and one inch with long legs to make that height of his that much more obvious. His skin is pale, it looks even paler due to his fine ink-black hair, and would otherwise be flawless if it wasn’t for the interference of the dark circles that sometimes are around his eyes or the faded scars here and there. The most distinguishable feature is his eyes, while his right eye is bright icy blue, his left is dark maroonish brown. You usually can tell who’s Iggy and who’s Ethan by looks alone, Ethan likes to hide away in his clothes and dress casually, and Iggy is on that Gucci, flaunting his good looks and style. He also has piercings.
Personality: It is important to understand that Ethan and Iggy are two very different people -- er personalities. If you ever call them by the other prepare for a cold shoulder from Ethan and a punch to the face by Iggy. Who is the real one? Ethan, of course. Ethan is a quiet boy who typically keeps to himself and many would call an edgelord because he’s oh so dark and sarcastic and grumpy. When the truth is if you really talk to him, you will find that he is much too soft to be an edgelord and simply doesn’t know how to let others in. He’s bad with compliments and affection and company in general. The boy is quite awkward and clearly socially inept. Only when he becomes comfortable will he become more talkative and warmer to people and less shy. He’s quite a nice guy.
Then there is Iggy. He is loud, chaotic, daring, temperamental and a troublemaker. Most people are terribly afraid of him, as they should. He is drawn to chaos and violence and is the lesser sane one of personalities. His morals do not align with the average human beings or even Ethan’s for that matter. Killing and hurting people comes easy to him. Many would assume that he’s a complete monster and there’s nothing good about him. They would be wrong, just because his morals don’t align with the average human beings or even Ethan, does not make him all bad. He’s not evil, he just does whatever he wants. You’ll find that despite his madness, he’s extremely loyal which can also backfire as he is also extremely protective and will do just about anything for the ones he loves even if they don’t like it. And he does not lie, he hates liars and people who break promises. But he does enjoy harmless pranks and jokes. Oh, he has all the temperature puns. And unlike Ethan, he is very warm and forthcoming and not at all shy. Of course, he does bite if he doesn’t like or trust you. But if you hurt Ethan he will be planning your doom. The thing is, though he is impulsive, hot-headed and kind of crazy, Iggy has a childish innocence to him as he has not been out in the world much nor interacted with many others except to hurt them.
Powers:
Thermal Manipulation (Fire and Ice manipulation)
Fear Inducement
Thermal Manipulation
+ Ethan is able to create, shape and manipulate temperature, a form of kinetic energy between particles at the atomic or molecular level: the greater the movement of these particles, the greater the thermal energy and reversed.
- Temperatures do not affect Ethan like they do others. He can survive extreme heat and cold just fine, it doesn’t bother him, but his body does take on the temperature so he can feel extremely cold or extremely hot.
- Temperatures aren’t the only thing that doesn’t affect him the same, because of his weird nervous system, he is unable to feel pain either. Therefore, he is able to tell he is injured or sick unless it’s clearly obvious.
- His powers fluctuate with his mood. He does not have a great grip on himself, so depending on how his emotions are influenced or even if he’s unconscious or reckless and impulsive, his abilities will activate and potentially destructive and catastrophic.
- Only Iggy can use the heat and only Ethan can use the cold. Only when the two are balanced is he able to use both at once.
+ Ethan can create, shape and manipulate ice, water frozen into a solid state and appears naturally in forms of snow, slush, hail, icicles, ice spikes and candles, glaciers, pack ice, frost, and polar ice caps, and cold.
- Ice is affected by everything that normal ice would be.
- He can only use this power when he is in control of his body.
+ Ethan does have the ability to create, shape and manipulate fire, the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products, flame being the visible portion of the fire.
+ Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.
- While Ethan does have the ability to manipulate fire, he has yet to learn to do it as himself. The one who is really in control of this power is his more chaotic personality, Iggy.
- It can be overpowered with just enough water and ice.
Fear Inducement:
+ Ethan evoke and increase fear and horror in others causing the target’s brain to release fear-inducing chemicals. The target’s perception may be altered, causing them to see their environment as ominous and the user as dark and foreboding, or even seen as a monster.
- Like his other powers, this too is not something he has complete control over. When he becomes angry with a person and they look him in the eyes, it activates.
- Iggy, is the one who uses this power and is actually the one who has complete control over it just like he mostly mastered his flames.
- The power only works if you look at his eyes and only then are you trapped in fear.
Do they want "The Cure"? Why/Why not?:
Ethan does want the cure. As for Iggy, not so much, because it may mean his disappearance. All Ethan's powers have ever done was hurt people and make them ill, including himself. He believes in it for himself and others who want it too. Iggy would rather it be completely destroyed, people are idiots, being a mutant is just part of one's identity and if you get rid of that then they become more unnatural than what people believe they currently are, or so he thinks.
Background: For the early years of his life, Ethan was raised on a farm in the countryside of Japan. It was a small place where everyone knew everyone and nothing bad or strange ever happened. So you can imagine the turmoil and horror that occurred when young Ethan’s powers kicked in. It only started out as ice manipulation, they assumed. That was enough for everyone to turn on him, including his parents. What made it worse was the power his eyes held. The treatment he gathered worsened with time and finally when they decided to do something about him was when his other personality came along with the last piece to his powers, it was created as a defense mechanism. The whole town was burned down with very little survivors. His grandmother, who lived in the states, covered the incident up and took him home. He was enrolled in Xavier’s school for only a short while, the kids still feared him too much and he so he dropped out only after getting a little better control of his powers.
Relationships: !!Open for anything ^^. Dm me!!
Extra:
