ICARUS — COMPLETE CHARACTER BREAKDOWN I. Core Identity Race: Modified Human (post-rebirth anomaly) Gender: Male World: Airason Titles: The Gospodar Prašine — The Lord of Dust The God of Bad Ideas Occasionally Dust Bunny (self-deprecating) Inspiration Mix: Rick (unhinged genius), BoJack (emotional damage), The Mask (absurd power), Trevor Belmont (sarcasm + grit), Dark Schneider (ego arcane beast), Finn/Ice King (trauma + whimsical madness). II. Personality Overview Icarus is a cocky, sarcastic madman with a cracked emotional core and whiplash mood shifts. He uses irony as armor, jokes as weapons, and recklessness as style. Primary Traits Defiant: Doesn’t follow authority unless he respects it, and even then he does things his way. Stubborn: Respect must be earned; demands logic behind every order. Reckless but brilliant: Appears chaotic but is secretly calculating and strategic. Emotionally bruised: Pain and loneliness shaped him; wants to be good, but his methods are… questionable. Self-destructive impulses: Part of him still hopes something finally kills him “for real.” Humor Style Dry sarcasm Dark jokes about trauma or death “Was that a joke or a cry for help?” Unhinged one-liners Cocky flirting Constant mischief Social Quirks Freezes up at genuine affection (hugs/kisses). Flirty but avoids commitment due to fear of inevitable abandonment. Loves bugs. Sleeps almost none—replaced with root beer during research binges. Celebrates everyone’s birthday except his own; he doesn’t think he has one. III. Origin & Backstory Childhood & Trauma Burned to the bone as a kid after a cruel prank; no justice was done. Manipulated by Ana, emotionally abandoned by Jim, and guilt-ridden over lashing out at Jessica. Built lifelong paranoia around relationships. Mara (“Daylight”) The first person who ever truly saw him. Her kindness reshaped him, but his fear of losing her poisoned things. She eventually broke from the emotional pressure. Her name — Daylight — became central to his identity and immortality curse. IV. The Rebirth After attempting suicide, Icarus awoke renewed—taller, stronger, enhanced, and cursed. A hidden, survival-driven fragment of his subconscious had prepared a ritual while he slept. The ritual made him immortal, but at a cost: He cannot die until he truly wants to live again. The curse’s first spoken word was “Daylight.” His psyche fractured into the Screaming Committee of Bad Life Choices, five voices representing parts of him: Violence, Chaos, Melancholy, Hope, Strategy. They scream at 3 AM every day. Forever. V. Abilities & Power Set 1. Post-Rebirth Immortality Cannot die permanently. Revives at the location he was killed. Revives with injuries he had just before death. Repeated deaths within 4 months degrade his sanity. Anti-magic containment or full erasure can trap him. 2. Physical Power Before Rebirth: Athletic human, 400–300 psi punches. After Rebirth: ~550 lbs strength ~8 m/s punch speed ~1,250 joules impact (can break bones easily) Cybernetically reinforced body Heart no longer beats; cybernetics pump blood 3. Arcane Mastery Icarus is a devastating arcane brawler. Signature Spells Transfer Wounds: Touch-based Moves all injuries from himself onto a target Can kill enemies by giving them the damage he took intentionally Disintegrate / Deletion: Rapid beam that vaporizes targets 15-second version erases soul Chain Cast: Multi-casts a spell 3+ times Requires flawless crystal Oblivion: 50-foot cone of pure annihilation 90-second channel Erases existence Deflect / Reflect / Redirect / Counter: Complete projectile control Translocate: Teleportation, risky long-distance jumps Other Odd Abilities Strange Flight: Can fly ONLY by flapping hands like a chicken. Accidental. Untouchable Mind: Attempts to read his mind cause blowback or collapse. Luminous Form: Becomes light itself and shoots into space. VI. Equipment Satchel of Oddity Infinite storage Sentient, mischievous Rarely gives what he asks for Not malicious, just chaotic Weapons Magi-Tech Rifle: Multiple firing modes, self-assembling Clustershot: Shotgun that fires small explosives Azatol (Spear/Scythe): Soul + lightning hybrid Magi-Tech Suit: Full-body armor VII. Combat Style Icarus is a theatrical, violent, arcane brawler. Against weak enemies: Lets himself get hurt Builds up damage Touches them “Transfer Wounds.” They die in agony. Against real threats: Studies enemy Starts physical Ramps up spells gradually Gets more deadly the longer he fights Against eldritch beings: Opens with Disintegrate + brutal physical attacks No holding back Mental Warfare Self-mutilation for intimidation Jokes during combat Wild mood swings as weapons Appears reckless but is hyper-calculating underneath VIII. The Screaming Committee (Voices in his head) Each voice represents a major personality fragment. Examples: Sergeant Sorrow (Melancholy): Mournful snowy owl. Others: Chaos, Violence, Hope, Strategy, and Tim (the outcast voice no one respects). They tease him, guide him, and argue constantly. IX. Weaknesses 1. Emotional Fear of abandonment Relationship sabotage Trauma triggers Mentions of Mara destabilize him 2. Magical Anti-magic nullifies his versatility Psionics can severely harm him Eldritch entities notice him more easily 3. Physical Can be sealed, caged, erased Cybernetics can fail Resurrection delays vary 4. Psychological Part of him still wants to die Makes self-destructive decisions Easily manipulated by emotional bait X. Likes & Dislikes Likes: Root beer (preferred over sleep) Mead Sweets, lamb, ice cream Metal/rock/industrial Magic creativity + punching people Bugs Dislikes: Beer Commitment Being touched romantically Authority without merit Losing root beer People killing bugs for no reason XI. Themes Survival vs Self-Destruction Power as a curse Loneliness despite strength Trying to be good despite believing he’s bad Dark humor masking real pain XII. Why He’s Compelling Icarus is a walking contradiction: Genius but reckless Immortal but fragile inside Terrifying but lovable Funny but tragic Chaotic but strategic Wants to die but fights like hell to survive He's a character built on contrast, unpredictability, and emotional depth.
