Cold bastard. Creepy old goat. Most grandiose, though, is Elijah Snow: Spirit of the Cold.[/indent] [color=aecae0][sub][b]P O W E R S A N D A B I L I T I E S[/b][/sub][/color][hr][indent][i]Spirit of the Cold –[/i] Elijah hasn’t aged past his thirties. He controls the cold. He can freeze things. That fluid your brain floats in? It's cerebrospinal ice now. Don't piss him off. [i]Intelligence –[/i] Elijah’s a smart guy, with many ([i]many[/i]) years of knowledge to draw from. He’s seen the world, immersed himself in it, and the man that’s come out the other side is one with a dangerous mind. [i]Wealth –[/i] One of the benefits of functional immortality – you have plenty of time to get rich.[/indent] [color=aecae0][sub][b]O R I G I N A N D B A C K S T O R Y[/b][/sub][/color][hr][indent]Elijah Snow was born a long time ago in the American South, when the world was changing and growing stranger. It was clear from the start that he was different, and it didn’t take long for him to become dissatisfied with simple rural life. He was only a teenager when he left home in search of the extraordinary, of things in the world that just didn’t seem to fit, and that’s how he’s spent his days ever since – on a planetary trek, amassing wealth, knowledge, friends and enemies over the long, long years. He’s seen much of what S.H.I.E.L.D. and C.A.D.M.U.S. have tried to hide from the world, and more still of what they can’t even begin to imagine. He is an archaeologist of mysteries, a historian of the uncanny – the spirit of the cold, ghost of the Metahuman Age – and now, with the advent of the Superman, his purpose is ever clearer. It’s a strange world. He wants to keep it that way.

Elijah’s essentially a solo act, with his role as a Century Baby tweaked to fit a 21[sup]st[/sup] Century setting. He has no immensely wealthy organisation to back him on his adventures; he simply has his own deep pockets and resourcefulness, both gained over the course of a very long life. He’ll be interacting with the Ultimate One Universe’s strangest, most spectacular phenomena, uncovering conspiracies and documenting the hidden, emergent history of the world we’re all creating. Elijah’s an old, functionally immortal man, so taken by the wonders of the world that he hasn’t yet realised his true purpose might be to save it.[/indent] [color=aecae0][sub][b]S U P P O R T I N G C H A R A C T E R S[/b][/sub][/color][hr][indent][i]Jakita Wagner –[/i] Badass. [i]The Drummer –[/i] Technopath. [i]Ambrose Chase –[/i] Physics distortionist. [i]Jenny Sparks –[/i] Spirit of technology. [i]Jack Hawksmoor –[/i] God of cities.

The public doesn’t know of Stormwatch’s existence. [i]The Strange, Strange World –[/i] The world is a strange, ever-changing place. There are always new things to discover, old things to uncover – and with them come people, new and old. The people listed above are not the only ones Elijah will run into... and this world won’t be the only one he sets foot on.
