Arveldir The Cold Brother

Arveldir, one of many colours in numerous ways. Yet Arveldier is not the nicest person to hang around with. Arveldir is often serious or grumpy about things happening around him, knowing what to say to bring the mood down. But he isn't mean to everyone, he has people close to him. Those are his brother Lunar and his familiar Loki. His brother tries to help Arveldir to find something he's interested in, while Loki tries to do sneaky things and causing mischief with him. Arveldir is able to change the colour of his body (excluding its eyes) to be able to gain advantage in an area or to help losing people that are stalking him IF that ever were to happen. The cuffs that Arveldir wears sadly don't have much of a story.
He found these four cuffs one day at retail shop. He bought them as it would fit his mood he was often in. These cuffs however have the property to shift into weaponry at will.
This was found out in a battle where Arveldirs ice power wasn't enough and wished that he had more firepower. His cuff around his hands would transform into arm cannons. This gave him the much needed firepower to win.

When forced to fight, Arveldir fights close to mid range with his ice and cuffs to defeat his opponents. During the fighting, he likes to keep his head cool and show no signs of emotions as it might help the opponent reconsider his actions and Arveldir himself is able to strike during that moment.

Here we will explain how his cuffs can take many forms and how his ice is being used for numerous tactics or at least how he can use them as there are probably more ways of using it than what will be explained here.







Cuffs

Arveldirs cuffs are essentially a magical artifact, that can change into many things within a reasonable size as the cuffs can form into things that are about 20 times its own size per cuff. The cuffs, while it can transform in any weapon or objects of his choosing, it doesn’t form its own ammunition or technology. This means without having anything to fill it with, it is best to use melee type of weapons. going from daggers, swords, flails. The advantage Arveldir would have with these weapons that he formed is that they are about half the weight of the original weapon, costing less energy and time to use the weapon in question.

Arveldir doesn’t have much experience with the cuffs itself or the weaponry he has available to him. But despite all that, he found the arm cannon he once summoned to be the most effective of them and wants to improve himself with it.

With this arm cannon he can shoot out ice and snow in any shapes and sizes that will fit in it.
Shooting half melted packs of snow to stun the target, normal packs of snow ,snow balls for more rapid firing, ice blocks for major damage (yet its reloading time is rather long), ice spears and much more. Every kind of stage between barely snow and hard ice has its own applications that can be used in- and out- side of combat.

The secondary weapon Arveldir forms with his cuffs is a rapier.
“It's fast and effective” or that's what Arveldir says. He can guide his snow with the rapier like it's a magical wand, but further improvement requires some serious training.

Of course Arveldir forms other weapons or other objects that are of use to him.
For example keys or tools.

Snowmagic

Arveldir has his snow magic from birth and has grown rather accustomed to it.
He can shoot the snow out from the palm of his hand with almost to its heart content.
The only requirement he has to meet to use his magic is to keep himself hydrated.

Arveldir, being the self-conscious type, knows that he can always improve himself.
For now Arveldir is a jack of all trades, yet having to choose something to specialise in. These more advanced options will go into lesser detail as it’s for Arveldir himself to find out.

The most easy and fun thing to do is to shoot icicles and spray snow at the targets.
The snow can have the property, if Arverdil chooses to, to be able to freeze on contact, turning the snow into ice. If he doesn’t go for that, the target would be eventually buried in show. The snow has of course more ways being useful, as it can be used to create paths in terms of extinguishing certain fires (depends on the type of fire) or creating paths that weren’t available at first.

Touching more a bit of the sneaky side that Loki has taught him, was to make snowballs of different kinds and play innocent to trick the targets as it would keep their defenses low and confused. She gave him also idea on making snowballs that have icicles or other objects in them or the freezing effect. The whole idea she gave him was to keep it childish trickery.
placing freezing traps on the ground or a big pack of snow falling on them.
But with all those innocent things, dealing damage is mostly done through his cuffs.
The best trick is for him able to come close to a target and being able to make their armor or behind their clothing, to make it very cold. This would force them to take their armor off and leaving them without any defence.

Something his brother Lunar helped him with or what he’s offering is to help him with getting a better understanding of his cuffs, creating a more versatile approach. Lunar helps him by training with him, flipping together through old books filled with pictures of weapons, spending time to learn how the weapons works and to mix it with Arveldirs snow magic.
All of this will help Arveldir becoming lighter on the feet and be the attacker or defender people need him to be. This is done through using a variety of weapons and shield, creating a snow barrier or upgrading his weapons with ice to make it more durable or piercing.

The last way Arveldir could grow was something Lunar and Loki both could help him with.
With Lunar being the more tactical of the two and Loki loving to trick people, they managed to find ways to be able to create snow “buddies”. These “buddies” were beings that
would contain a small part of the cuffs so that the snow is able to hold its form, creating a second Arveldir or anything. The bigger the creature the more stuff it needs to hold its form.
Of course Arveldir would still be able to use its armcannon and his own snowmagic at the same time. Of course after battle the pieces of cuffs that were used for the “buddies” need to be recollected. If that doesn’t work, it luckily grows slowly back over time to its original form.

Perks

Fur and magic:

Arveldirs fur and use of cold magic has given him resistance to the cold and his eyesight cannot be obstructed by blizzards or any kind of snowfall, granting him a big advantage in snow-like areas. This means Arveldir is not in any shape or form bothered by his own ultimate attack.

Close bonds:

Having not many people to go around with, Arveldir is close with Lunar and Loki.
Arveldir always fights hard for them if they are in danger and listens to their reasoning.
It can be dangerous if someone would disguise as one of them, but this strong bond means betrayal will never be a thing among them.

In short, Arveldir is immune to persuasion and misguidance (or any guidance) from other people.

Ultimate

Snowfall

Done with it all, Arveldir unleashes a snowstorm at his full control. Arveldir is able to decide the direction of the snow of which way it falls down. With this snow storm he can create illusions with ease, these will aid him in battle during and little after the snowstorm. These illusions can count up to 20 of them, attacking for him or with him. Arveldir himself can still do everything he wants during the snowstorm and illusion creating. For the targets it's greatly advised to go into hiding or have fire attacks that aren't extinguished easym
The storm itself exits for a 3 good minutes. Arveldir of course spends a huge amount of energy to make this happen and might need to recover a little if he already has spend a lot.
