Frozen Sith???

[Prowl Nightwolf]

So... No Profile to read yet, but after watching a scene from Rebels where they claim to feel "Cold" around Darth Vader I kind of got an idea to bring one of my Characters from another Fandom over here and wanted to know what you guys thought about it.

So the Character Concept is as follows:

He is Dark side aligned to neutral but not inherently part of the Light side of the force. To allow for the cold sensations mentioned above to be felt by other Force sensitives and possibly even non-force sensitives as well. He specializes in Cold based attacks such as cryo-kinesis. Unlike the Normal yellow Sith eyes his radiate permafrost and glow a chilling blue. Think of it like Frozen CO2. It literally steams from his eye sockets as well as other parts of his body. His blood and over 90% of his body is in a constant state of permafrost. I want him to be able to battle Jedi and others but cannot really see him using a Lightsaber since they are hot Plasma and that is literally the exact opposite of how I see this character going.

With the Banned ruling of Cryo damage Lightsabers he could not really use a frozen one. However possibly having some form of Frozen weapon that was able to still resist a saber would be interesting to have. Would love to have it in the form of a pair of Axes as that is what he uses now anyway. Maybe have them be so cold that they can disrupt the blades ability to cut via Sith Alchemy or something along them lines. Having a Frozen twist on some of the Sith abilities would be interesting as well. For example Force Storm could be Force Blizzard instead.


I am thinking of calling him Nero being his original name in life and having him be addressed as Necro as a corruption of the name while also being short for Necrosis or the damage to flesh from severe frostbite. Adding in the Sith Tag of Darth once he reaches a certain level. Due I think to not every Sith being allowed the name from the start.

So what do you guys think thus far, would you be interested in interacting with someone like him?

No Sith is really a Darth from the start: you're an Acolyte, and in the Sith hierarchy, that makes you nothing, until we say you're something. That's how it works Some claim it from the outset, but they won't be taken seriously on that account, and will have to prove their worthiness accordingly!

The concept as you've written it is a curious one, but I can't see it working: you'd probably need to submit a new Species to the Codex, because no canonical species I'm aware of has blood in a state of permafrost: basic biology would tell you that such a thing would be lethal. Also worth noting that, while lightsabers are indeed plasma-based, they are only hot on contact, and otherwise do not exude heat of any kind.

The idea is intriguing, but I'm not entirely sure it would work. Keep talking, we'll explore it some more.

[member='Tirdarius'] Well I would not think it would be species specific more so over that this character's particular condition derives itself from an affliction regarding the dark side of the force. I mean if we have Volcano monsters, Sith whom are immortal due to keeping clone bodies, some walking corps whom literally is keeping himself alive though his own pain from his shattered body, Sith Spirit inhabited armor, Voids and wounds in the force; the list goes on. So why not someone whom is afflicted with a constant state of permafrost? Taking the 'cold' aspect of the dark side that some feel when it is near to the extreme. Allowing him to feed off that feeling or emotion--whatever it is--instead of simply anger or hate alone. Though these two would likely play their own roles as they do with every Dark side affiliated being.

I am not quite sure how to go about it just yet. If I should start him out as Nero and work my way to becoming Necro through some event or start him off already afflicted with the curse of frost. Having no such idea off hand how to make the transition during RP I am leaning more over towards the later as the first option could take weeks to months to preform. I do have a couple ideas as to what happened and would have them in his History.

The first being possibly similar to Mr. Freeze from Batman. A Science experiment intended to do good gone wrong. Perhaps a new type of engine that reduced heat signature to null making lock-on impossible. The project would be scrapped after the founder was allegedly killed during a test only for the truth to be revealed down the line that he had become a Monster instead. This living Snowman if you will.

Another option could be via Sith Alchemy. Nero would be messing around with the stuff to make his alleged weapons and got a little too close without proper protection. Blinded by his own arrogance the "spell" latch itself to his body as well. Basically giving him permeate frostbite. The pain being what actually keeps him alive like our body shattered friend mentioned above along with his cryogenically frozen state. Decay does not take place or is extremely slow due to the preservation of the frozen state his body is constantly in.

Then there could be a gradual change over time instead. Say he came from a frozen world so was already acclimated to sub-freezing temperature but learned that there were indeed warmer planets out there. Feeling enraged or resentment to these warmer planets the dark side festered inside him until the very thing he hated consumed him. This has a flaw I think though as if I were to have him embrace the change an therefore like what has become of his body the hate would evaporate and therefore he'd loose the power gained to begin with. Though it is possible that he feeds not on his hate of the cold so much as that others are not as cold as he is. Therefore it is the warmth of others he hates more so over than his own affliction.

I would love to know more of your thoughts if you would like to help me flesh out a full concept. Being a Sith yourself maybe even be involved. I actually knew that about Lightsabers being that they do not radiate heat initially. This is due to a certain scientific principle as well as the magnetic field that actually contains and shapes the blades themselves. If by chance you have not seen them yet here are a few videos by Kyle of Nerist going into greater detail about the subject.

The thing is normal lightsabers are made of plasma which is a forth state of matter when one super heats gas. So having such a weapon could seem strange for a character intended to be the embodiment of absolute Zero Temperature. Though I suppose not impossible. I could have him use a blade that is arctic blue instead of the usual red.

I was looking more for a weapon that embodied the cold aspect of his being as a counter to the super heated plasma of normal Jedi Weapons. Since Lightsabers are banned from inflicting cold based damage I need to look outside the typical weapon of a Sith. Thinking with Sith Alchemy it could be possible to forge such a weapon as well as giving it the Lightsaber resistant/repellent component I seek allowing him to partake in such duels effectively. You know without deactivating the blade as with Courtois Ore, or melting my own weapon as often happens with objects that come into contact with a lightsaber's blade. The supreme cold also 'burns' in a sense, so not sure. It is not called Freezer Chill after all but rather Freezer Burn.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
+ Frozen.. to death?: Necro is in a constant frozen state. As such he no longer feel anything and can also survive in the cold vacuum of space unaided.
​+ Frozen Aura: Where most trained force sensitives have a force bubble around them that they can control, Necro also has an additional shield of protection in the form of the permafrost that radiates off his body constantly. Force sensitives will be able to sense this frozen aura and even non-force sensitives will be able to feel it as Necro approaches.
​+ Lightsaber retardant: Due to the ambient and extremely low temperature of Necro's body when a Lightsaber blade comes near or otherwise makes contact a violent reaction takes place that disrupts the blade's ability to cut as well as releasing burning steam from the impact site.
- Heat Intolerance: Due to Necro's condition he is incapable of getting warm no matter what he tries. he is also more susceptible to higher temperatures than others. With his frozen state trying to fight thawing by releasing more frozen gas into the air around him. If the temperature around him can be maintained at a high level such as in a desert or furnace his body would start to thaw rapidly. This could result in body parts falling off as well as him loosing his powers until he has time to refreeze his core.
​- Light side Dead: Due to his current state Necro has a greatly increased issue with manipulating the light side of the force and thus powers typically associated only with the light side are near impossible for him to use.

APPEARANCE: Nero is a bit short coming only to about 1.5 meters tall. It is believed that he was once human but suffered from some form of Dwarfism due too his limited stature. Though it is equally possible that he stems from a race with a near human appearance whom don't typically grow larger than a meter. Due to an unknown occurrence Nero's skin pigmentation had faded to an almost gray dead coloration. If one were to look closer they could see a slight blueish purple pigment there as well. Though this may simply be the effects of the freezing mist that permeates around him at all times.

Nero's Body temperature is around -100C and is in a constant frozen state. Though it is unknown how he is able to move let alone still be alive; it has been suggested that the Dark side of the force and Nero's experiments with it have a lot to do with his current state. One can see the freezing power as it has incased his eyes that now glow with a permanent arctic blue color as frozen steam can be seen pouring off of them.

Nero dresses in dark armor of currently unknown construction and covers himself with a cloak and robe not unlike that of the Jedi or some of his fellow Sith. Ice crystals can be seen forming and breaking along his cloths as he walks leaving a trail of the still frozen shards in his wake.


BIOGRAPHY: TBD


SHIP: Thinking if he has a ship and as a Sith I suspect he would, it would have some form of internal cooling system that is on overdrive. Meaning anyone other than Nero would need heavy protection as it would be like walking into in an icebox. Not something normal races would be able to do for extended periods of time.

[member='Tirdarius'] Are you still interested in this character by chance? If so Let me know what you think so far. Nothing here is truly set in stone so any critiques to help flush him out a bit more while working on him would be greatly appreciated.

This goes for anyone whom reads this. I want to know what you guys think of having a frozen Sith lord floating around.
