Ymir Liones Bio

Name: Ymir Liones

Species: Dzlethian

Race: Yellowscale

Role: A Super Executiver-rank member of Winterkill Works. A former member of the gang that Barracuda Blaine grew up in, he uses his rough past to serve as a negotiator for Winterkill Works. He’s something of a “sane man” in the group, although he still has his less-than-composed moments.

Affiliation: Winterkill Works

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Height: 5’10

Appearance: Ymir is a fairly tall man with a stocky, yet not overly bulky build. His hair is a fairly dark shade of golden blond, neck-length, and somewhat wavy, his eyes are a dark, warm shade of bronze, and his horns are small and stubby enough to be hidden by his hair. His features are handsome in a gentle sort of way, and he often sports a bit of stubble.

Personality: Outwardly, Ymir is an amiable, laid-back sort of person who takes his problems as they come. He’s patient, agreeable, a hard worker, and has a relaxed aura that makes it seem like he’s always in control of the situation. However, he’s also short-tempered, jaded, and distrustful. A youth spent in harsh conditions made him practical and resilient, but it also took away his faith in the world. Ymir is highly loyal. He’s dedicated and honors his commitments no matter what, even at a cost to himself. Lacking a strict sense of morals, he’s an “in it for himself” type who prioritizes his alliances and personal goals over being a good person. He doesn’t particularly care what others think of him— so long as he’s honest with himself, it’s fine. 

Positive Traits: Ymir is honest, straightforward, and trustworthy. While he can be selfish, he’s open about his intentions and loyalties, seeing unnecessary deception as a coward’s move. He’s reliable and takes his promises very seriously, even when he’d be better off breaking them. Adaptable enough to stay on good terms with almost anyone (if he tries), he comes across as friendly, helpful, and easy to be around. He’s very world-wise and street-smart, with a knack for thinking practically. 

Negative Traits: Ymir’s worst trait is his utter lack of faith in others. He’s jaded enough that he believes no one will ever truly like or accept him. Even though he dedicates himself to a select few, he doesn’t expect them to return the favor. He’s self-motivated and often uncaring of others, and his short temper comes with a violent streak picked up from rough living. He can often be too much of a doormat, though, especially when it’s easier to go with the flow and do what has to be done than put up a fight. 

History: Ymir grew up as a street orphan, and he doesn’t care much about his past before that point. The closest thing to “family” he had was a gang led by young Dzlethian stuck in the Daryan country— Blaine was also a part of that gang, and when it dissolved, Ymir stuck with him and the leader’s younger sister, Verne, who later developed a terminal illness. Lacking any goals or connections of his own, he followed Blaine to Winterkill Works in search of a cure for Verne, watching over her in Blaine’s place. 

Relationships: Ymir generally gets along with anyone he’s in close contact with. Whether he likes someone or not, he knows the value of not making unnecessary enemies. He’s highly loyal to Blaine, seeing him as both a brother-like figure and a capable leader. His feelings for Verne are a little softer; by this point, after everything her brother did for them, he just wants her to have the longest, happiest life he can provide for her.

Interests: Ymir likes strong, respectable people, seeing the results of hard work, and large meals. He dislikes unnecessary conflict, seeing his loved ones hurt, and dealing with Blaine’s messes. He’s generally too busy for personal hobbies, but he does enjoy sparring with Blaine when he can. 

WW Role: As one of the Super Executives at Winterkill Works, Ymir has a specialized role designed to make the organization run smoothly— and his is negotiations. His history with the underside of society left him with the skills to intimidate people into cooperation, so the job is easy enough. While he takes his work seriously, though, his real concerns lie with Blaine and Verne. 

Miscellaneous: Since joining Winterkill Works (and for a while before it), Ymir has been trying to pass as a Daryan. His horns are small enough to be easily hidden by long hair, so he’s keeping up the act in an attempt to avoid potential problems post-war. He doesn’t think anyone would like his true self, so he purposefully makes himself easy to be around. When he was younger, he thought he had feelings for Verne, but they’ve since faded into a more brotherly sort of affection. As one of the last living members of his former gang (and with Verne’s illness), he has serious issues with survivor’s guilt.

Connotative Description: An outwardly adaptable, agreeable person who’s been hardened by an unfortunate life. While he’s highly loyal and caring towards those he’s allied with, he’s also capable of cruelty and violence.

Winterkill Works: Basic Character Intros (Part 4)

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 5]

RANK: Super Executive

Silverbell Albescu

Ghiasuli

After faking his way into Winterkill Works, he's now very, very stuck, with no way to escape the group without revealing his scam. Thus, his role as a Super Executive is the vaguely defined task of "supervising productivity" and managing the work that the Wards are assigned. Winterkill is aware of his true colors, but keeps him around because it's amusing to watch him flounder.

Egotistic, self-important, and deceitful, SIlverbell has only gotten this far by claiming others' achievements as his own and making up stories about what he can do. Despite all of his bluster, he's a con artist at best, and one who's found himself in a much deeper, darker situation than he ever expected. Currently, he lives in a constant state of fear— the fear of being found out.

Korose Bequerel

Daryan

A brilliant scientist who was formerly part of an independent Daryan research facility. She's knowledgeable enough that her role as a Super Executive is to assist with any research that needs it, as well as the more general task of keeping records. She has a strange connection with her assistants, the Hazard Triplets, and treats them like her own children as well as test subjects.

Apathetic and detached, she has a roundabout way of thinking and talking that leaves most people terribly confused. At the same time that she holds herself to a strange set of ethics, she seems to believe that she's uniquely designed to suffer. After experimenting on herself, the majority of her skin is a patchwork of scars, transplanted skin, and experimentally tested techniques.

Ymir Liones

Dzlethian

A former gang member and Blaine's childhood friend. Ymir followed Blaine after their gang was wiped out, and sticks with him even now. As a Super Executive, his role involves negotiations, which his rough background gives him a unique skillset for; while he comes across as amiable and friendly at first, he can turn blood-chillingly threatening at a moment's notice.

Loyalty is by far his most prominent trait. Ymir has never had a very good lot in life, so he sticks to the people he has faith in and devotes himself to them entirely. He takes pride in being adaptable and a hard worker, but he's spent long enough feeling like an outcast that he's worked up a permanent sense that only a precious few will ever truly like or accept him.

Cindarosa Pender

Daryan

She joined Winterkill Works solely to use its resources to take care of her "children"— which refers to a menagerie of bizarre, monstrous creatures, many of which she's altered in some terrifying, unethical way. Fittingly, her job as a Super Executive is to dispose of the remains of various experiments, which usually takes the form of feeding them to her creatures.

While she always has a smile on her face, she's a heartless person who's disinterested in normal society. Her "children" are all that matter to her, but the way she cares for them is often warped and selfish. Most often disgusted and annoyed by other people and the world, as a whole, she'd rather surround herself in her world of creatures and block out anything and everything she dislikes.

Ethereal

Daryan

She was recruited into Winterkill Works so her strange abilities could be studied— she has a connection to the Aether element, Void, that allows her to manipulate people's emotional capacity. Her official job as a Super Executive is "motivation", but that's very much a fake role given to her to keep her around. Of course, Ethereal herself neither notices nor cares much about that.

Childlike, immature, and seemingly carefree, Ethereal is in her own little world where nothing can hurt her. She's older than she looks, but her psyche is warped thanks to the overuse of Aether magic, and she's ceased to see other people's feelings as having any merit. The only thing that matters to her is making her world "happy", which often means removing anything that's in the way.

Ardemis

Dzlethian

Bearing strange stitches and scars, reminiscent of autopsy marks, on his body, no one knows where he came from or who he really is. His official job as a Super Executive is getting rid of people who are a threat to Winterkill Works, but he has an unusual number of personal communications with Winterkill herself and seems to know many inside details about the organization.

While he presents himself as just a calm, polite person with deep loyalties to Winterkill, if one is around Ardemis for long enough, they'll notice that his behavior is...off. He's eerily obedient, his emotional responses are strangely shallow, and he seems to lack certain mental functions innate to living beings. His ambiguous background doesn't make him any less suspicious.
