Glacial Eidolon is a fanfiction writer of little fame and little regard. His works are neither well-known nor particularly astounding, though he often takes measures to circumvent that. Nevertheless, he is firmly dedicated towards improvement, along the way hopefully becoming a splendid writer.
He is not poor or pitiful by any means, but... can be hard on himself.
He isn't a man who defines himself by his role models, his interests, the groups he belongs to, or the products he buys, and finds that basing your character on that is rather silly. He actually has no role models except for himself, making it that much more disappointing whenever he fails... but it allows him to push himself that much harder. It's worked very well, though, gaining him a good amount of abilities over the years.
He also has a ton of Moral Dissonance. What he appreciates and likes to see is not nearly what he is. He likes to be The Stoic but is prone to getting angry at the most inopportune times, very simple everyday occurrences are Paranoia Fuel to him, and he can't help but suspect that everybody around him knows a lot more than what he knows. He also doesn't handle stress very well, as it saps the energy completely out of him... for about ten minutes, at which point he sits back up as if nothing ever happened.
Tropes that describe Glacial Eidolon:
- An Aesop: One of his favorites is "don't be stupid."
- An Ice Person: His favored superpower.
- Annoying Laugh: Ranges from high-pitched to downright creepy.
- Anti Poop-Socking: A built-in characteristic of his: he can't play any video game for more than an hour or two without getting a bit bored or stressed out.
- Forgets to Eat: Self-explanatory.
- The Hedonist: Nearly completely averted.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: If you haven't gleaned this from browsing over this page, then let it be known that he is very fond of this.
- Humans Are Bastards: Subverted. He doesn't think kindly of humanity, but doesn't mind the bastardry and actively takes part in it without qualms. It's No Big Deal.
- Humans Are Flawed: And he's perfectly fine with that.
- Hurting Hero: He's... had more than his fair share of disappointments... many of them caused by himself.
- I Am What I Am: Even though Glacial Eidolon is very critical of himself, generally he's fine with who he is.
- Ineffectual Loner: Self-explanatory. He doesn't tend to interact well with others, though he is competent at doing so when he wants to.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's annoyed many people over the years. It got better... Kind of.
- Knight in Sour Armor: His basic personality. He can be nasty and cold-hearted, but is very capable and often is genuinely concerned about other's suffering.
- Lawful Neutral: Laws are laws. They must be followed.
- Moral Dissonance: Tons.
- The Quiet One: Though he can be very verbose when he does talk, it's not often.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Far down the cynical end.
- The Stoic: By necessity, since his mood otherwise can be erratic.
- Token Evil Teammate: His interests are bizarre at best, though this is slightly waning. Slightly.
- Understatement: Fond of them.
- Voice of the Legion: Has a fairly good impression of one that he uses when he gets irritable.
