His most interesting feature being his cat ears and tail, but most notice his left arm and leg the limbs are a hard metal made almost out of dark grey steel with thick brown leather straps wrapped around to the belly side of his arm which was made of the wood of a willow tree, the foot of the robotic leg was different almost like it was a paw instead of a foot. He is mainly seen wearing a black cropped sweater with a small crop top underneath only slightly longer than the sweater which had snowflakes tiled all over it, below his shirts is a purple tattoo which some say has a resemblance to a butterfly but Rime doesn't see it himself. Rime's nails are stained black even the robotic limbs. His pants consisted of small short shorts also black to match the sweater, rime wore big circle frame glasses, fluffy purple earmuffs and a white choker around his neck and for his arm he had a unique staff which is long made of a dark oak wood the staff is blue at the top which curved over itself making it look like a circle with a hollow center there resided a blue crystal. Frost covers most of the crosier as a frost mage’s staff usually would but as you approach the end of the staff it fell into a purple gradient with a small purple purl curled around the base.
The Lore_Rime is from Akushuu a land where magic creatures live and breath, with adventurers, mages and knights a like. Rime lived in the north of Akushuu in a village named Frostbite. Rime was unique to others, he was born with cat ears and a long fluffy tail his race named the Neklike lived in the eastern kingdoms of Akushuu with there own city named Catcline but many ages ago a war broke out between the Neklike and the Cuca. The Cuca are a race of beings considered the filth of Akushuu with there long lizard tail and prominent green skin, all they looked for was war and destruction to fulfill there bloodlust and grow there city to take over Akushuu. The Cuca were strong towering over any Neklike that ever set foot in front of them, although the Neklike put up a glorious fight, they were defeated leaving only survivors to escape to other lands. Rime’s mother and father were two of very few survivors to escape there hometown, they were local mages in there city they once loved dearly. Rime’s mother and father traveled the lands up north to Frostbite to seek safer lands but they knew that it would be hard to take care of a baby in there condition, where they were in life with the dangers that step afoot them.Rime soon came into the world, his rosy cheeks and short blond hair, the small cat ears poking from the top of his head and little tail wagging back and forth. Although Rime’s parents knew it would be hard to provide for him being on the run they tried there best. They stole food from merchants, hunted animals for clothes and meat, built small camps in the woods for shelter. As rime grew up he learned the ways of living in frostbite, although to many the freezing cold weather would turn them solid, however Rimes race is extremely resilient to the cold climates of the world there skin fiercer to the elements than any other race. He learned to hunt, steal and stay unseen by the eyes of the world, they needed to stay hidden to others, they didn’t know who or what would attack them at any moment.Although Rime would not be as sneaky as he tried to be, one day after stealing mead and a sweet roll from a local inn he would we caught by the merchant, and chased out of the inn, Rime’s big blond ears and fluffy tail were seen by the folks of a town, this town hadn’t seen a Neklike in ages so word quickly went around about his presence near. As Rime was escaping from the town many chased him, watching him disappear into the foliage of the forest. Rime was the talk of the town, many wondering if he was okay, wondering if they could find him in hopes to help him. Although many were not so kind, and reported his presence to the Cuca.One night as Rime and his parents fell asleep in there wooden tents multiple men from the Cuca emerged from the darkness of the woods, destroying there tents and capturing both of Rime’s parents, as the men were holding down his parents, Rime tried to fight them, kicking there backs and punching there legs but his arms were to weak, his body was not yet grown to face the statutes of the Cuca. His parents screamed at Rime, telling him to run from the men that captured them, with tears in his eyes he fled from the assassins, running as fast as he could, as he looked back one final time all he could see is the stiff bodies of his parents lying flat on the ground, with one of the Cuca chasing him. He ran, and ran as fast as he could before banging on a tavern door labeled the frosty inn.Rime stayed there in that Inn for years, growing and honing his skills, the elderly tavern keep that took him in was growing ill and old, before the man died from his illness he gave the title of tavern keep to Rime and gave him his staff the staff was long made of a dark oak wood the staff was blue at the top which curved over itself making it look like a circle with a hollow center there resided a blue crystal. Frost covers most of the crosier as a frost mage’s staff usually would but as you approach the end of the staff it fell into a purple gradient with a small purple purl curled around the base. The old man told him to be the kindness in the world that many took advantage of, to be a good person no matter what anyone did to him to learn his full potential as a frost mage and protect those who couldn’t defend themself, his final words as he took his last breath were, live for what you want, fight for what you have.Rime grew his tavern into one where many could love, he practiced his love for magic and read many scrolls pertaining to his abilities. His tavern was one where everyone was welcome, A group of merchants sit at one table, discussing their wares. A knight and his squire are at another table, sharing a meal and a tankard of ale. In the corner, a group of men are playing dice. A bard is singing a song in the corner, his voice echoing through the room. Rime was beloved by many in the town, known by all and he loved them, his inn was most popular to many, and he was known as one of the strongest frost-mages in all of north Akushuu.Although as luck seemed to be up for Rime it would soon turn into one of Rime’s darkest chapters. As Rime slumbered in the upper floors of his tavern a group of burst into the inn door, rime awaking from his sleep went to grab his staff but was to late, he was thrown to the ground, bound up and captured by the men. He was sedated by a spell and when he awoke he was on a table, to rime it smelled like a hospital, the walls painted white with surgical tools all around him, for the first time in awhile Rime was frightened. Rime tried to use his frost mage abilities but his hands only froze over unable to produce any spells, there must be a hex around the area stopping spells from being cast he thought to himself. The men didn’t speak, or listen to Rime when he spoke. The men conducted tests on him, prodding at his body, his tail his ears. After they were done experimenting on him each day, he would be kept in a dirty cell with a pillow laid on the ground, no blankets or other necessities.After one experiment Rime awoke in his cold wet cell, as he arose his hair fell in front of his eyes. Rime’s hair was stained blue except for a small portion of his bangs which were a bleached white, before he could understand why his hair had changed color a purple glow was cast around the room, as rime looked down he saw a tattoo on both sides of his belly button flashing purple it almost looked like a sigil or spell, rime couldn't describe the tattoo well with it only seen as deep purple lines going in all different directions with its center being his belly button but it was so foreign he couldn’t understand its artistic identity, he thought to himself why it glowed, it was almost like it was trying to connect to something he whispered. The tattoo must have altered his genes causing his hair color to change color was the only rational reason rime could come up with, before rime could weigh other options a scientist came up to his cell speaking in a sarcastic tone he mustered, “do you like your new ink and hairdo”. Rime shot up holding both hands on his cell, his fangs prominently shown through his chapped lips. Rime shouted at the man “what did you do to me you sick man”. The man exclaimed that the hair was unintentional and once they implanted the tattoo it rapidly changed color. Rime questioned the man wondering the purpose of this tattoo, the man smirked exclaiming that the tattoo was a sigil and Rime would soon see its purpose later. As the man walked away Rime shouted at him banging on his cell, but it was no use, the man was not intimidated by Rimes gestures or threats.The next morning three scientists grabbed rime by his hands and feet dragging him out of his cell, although rime tried to fight, he was weak, and unable to muster the strength to fight the men. They strapped Rime to a table, and before he could speak a the scientist from last night spoke over him, telling Rime that he will soon see the full purpose of his tattoo, and the warrior they would soon create, before rime questioned this mans response he was put under by a spell, unable to fight it he fell under.As rime awoke this time it was different his left leg and left arm stung almost like he couldn’t feel them, as he opened his eyes and looked down all he saw was robotic limbs. The half of the limbs had a hard metal made almost out of steal with thick leather straps wrapped around to the belly side of his arm which was made of the wood of a willow tree, the foot of the robotic leg was different almost like it was a paw instead of a foot, he believed this was put there to mock his race. At first he believed it was a shell encasing his organic limbs but after scratching and chewing on the metal he soon understood that they amputated his biological arm and leg and replaced them with prosthetics. He cried wondering what they would do next, what would happen to him and what they would do to him. As he sobbed the same man who saw him the night before arose from the door of Rimes cell. Rime shouted to the man why him, why would he choose him for this horrible alteration. He exclaimed to Rime that they needed a subject one that was powerful in the arts of magic to power the limbs as the tattoo siphons from Rime’s magicka to be powered. he had been enhanced and the new limbs were never seen by any creature in these lands, they was invented in these very walls. The man went on to say that they needed a warrior, one to take over the lands of Akushuu, to bring order to those who dare step in there way. Rime screamed how he would never work for these foul men and would rather die then fulfill there sick dreams. The man chuckled and exclaimed how after tomorrow Rime wouldn’t remember his own name, before briskly walking away from Rimes stunned face.That night Rime could not sleep, all he could think about is his tavern, his friends he had not seen in ages. He wanted to leave and tomorrow would be the day he fought back, against the men, the guards and leave this retched place. As the sun arose from the lands of Akushuu, rime pretended to be asleep not moving with his eyes sealed shut, as the men came through to drag him to the operating table, he punched and kicked his way free beating on the scientists who had experimented on him, with his new arm and leg he was stronger than ever, able to out match any man that dare stand in his way. He punched through the steel doors that held him, crashing through any man that dare step in his way, as he saw the light of the open door the scientist who talked to him all those nights covered his only exit, rime snarled at him but all the man did was laugh, he exclaimed he would rather die than let his research leave here without a fight. Rime attempted to push past him but the man cut his nose all the way to the back of the left side of his head leading to gash on the middle of his nose and the left side of his hair to be entirely chopped off leaving it uneven to the right side of his hair. Rime attempted to punch the man but the man punched him in the gut and cut off rimes sleeve exposing his robotic arm, the man shouted to rime that he had made him a being that is all powerful, he could take whatever he wants from anyone but still decides to leave here, leave the place that gave him this power. Rime exclaimed while gasping that he was not like him, and he would not be as cruel as they were to him. Rime swiftly arises to his feet before striking the scientist as hard as he could in his face before running out of the open door. As he emerged from the lab that held him for so long he finally saw the sun, and felt the snowy breeze flow past his hair. Although he didn’t waste anytime and ran for his life, far from this place that held him.Rime tried to find his way home, searching and scouring the northern lands of Akushuu, but he was weak, he hadn’t been fed in days and was slowly succumbing to dehydration. As Rime fell to the cold snow his eyes about to close he saw a light, a torch above him of a man, a man he knew as a regular from his tavern, although he wanted to say something he was unable to muster any words, and quickly fell asleep. As Rime awoke he sprung up, with his fists drawn ready to fight anything that threatens him, but he was instead surrounded by the warmth of his tavern, with his friends and community surrounding him wondering what had happened to him, and where these robotic limbs had come from.As time went on Rime began to come to terms with his new limbs and healed from the experience that had damaged him, although it would be hard to move on from this damage entirely he was determined to make the world a better place
