His ice can be as brittle as glass or as hard as stainless steel; the more durable the ice, the more willpower and stamina required to generate it. He can also rapidly cool down objects upon physical contact; Astrad was able to cool down a heated steam pipe in moments. Cryokinesis: Astrad is also capable of controlling and manipulating the ice that he generates with extreme precision; it would be as if he had telekinesis, though this only extends to the ice that he creates.

Some agents say that he is emulating the former Director Fury in his attire choices, as Astrad usually puts on a trench coat as well. He likes wearing a hat, usually a bonnet. When out of duty, he usually has a shirt, and then a polo, and then a hoodie.

In stark contrast to his powers of cold and frost, he has a very swell personality and a penchant for being casual in speech and address to the other agents, especially those that he had already known for a long time. He does know where to draw the line though, and is very respectful towards the likes of Victoria Hand, Maria Hill, Phil Coulson, and Nick Fury. Agent Lungren, as he is often called, has a well honed approach towards missions: adaptation. It is his firm belief that no plan survives first contact with the enemy, so he usually improvises and shifts techniques in the middle of operations should new problems rear their ugly heads. It is thus said that those who would be under his command someday can expect to change course midflight and so on. He is also highly principled, refusing to leave even a single agent to harm's way unless if it is utterly, absolutely, and totally impossible to extract them without exposing the rest of the team to unparalleled risk. Astrad Lungren is also a religious man, praying at the beginning of every mission either with just himself or with anyone that shares the same beliefs. He believes that his powers are a tool gifted from above (it doesn't matter if Inhumans are a product of Kree experiments) to protect those who do not have the benefit of superpowers or metal suits. [b] [color=ec008c]Habits:[/color][/b] Astrad has a habit of making snow drifts around him when bored, as well as biting his friends on the shoulder when they are being relaxed.

He was a brave agent, and when the Terrigen Bomb hit, he was still determined to fulfill the oath that SHIELD agents take upon their initiation: protect the world from the wierd world. [b] [color=ec008c]General History:[/color][/b] Astrad Lungren was born in Stockholm, Sweden, to a pastor father and a surgeon mother. Though he had been born in an increasingly secularized country, he was brought up to be a devout Lutheran Christian by his parents, instructing him that every prayer must be supplemented with conscious and hard effort from his own part. Astrad was also the middle child out of three siblings; thus, he was never favoured like his older brother or younger sister, and thus was the most independent out of them. When he was 15, his family moved to near the more wooded areas of central Sweden, where he would eventually be taught by his rather experienced father on how to hunt game (with a licence of course) using a rifle. He eventually got very good at using hunting rifles at hitting even fast moving targets, such as running deer and wolves. He got so good at shooting by the time he was 20 that his father became concerned that maybe he was enjoying it a little too much. However, his son assured him that he'll use his skills for the better. At the age of 21, Astrad graduated from the University of Stockholm as a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology, and was soon in the Swedish police as a detective and at the same time, a sniper for their SWAT teams in Stockholm. These two factors eventually led the branch of SHIELD in their base in St. Petersburg to call him, citing that they were impressed with his talents, and said that he would make a great agent. He wouldn't pass up the opportunity of being part of such a renowned organization, and thus immediately accepted the offer of being an agent of SHIELD. He was already a good detective and a sniper, but that wasn't exactly enough. Astrad would later be trained in unarmed combat and other forms of firearms (pistols and assault rifles), and would be fairly competent in both aspects. Once deemed ready to go out in the field, he would be deployed in operations across Russia, the Baltic States, the Nordic Nations, and Central Europe, over a period of three years. He was an Operations Agent, thus, he often fought alone, if not with a partner. It was said that Astrad Lungren was a skilled agent that maybe worked too hard, and had to be persuaded to take vacations. He did relish his vacations though, as these were times that he was able to reconnect with the people of his life that weren't fellow agents. One day, however, his whole life was twisted, either for better or worse. In February 2021, the Terrigen Bomb detonated in the Earth's atmosphere, triggering Terrigenesis in a titanic amount of dormant Inhumans. Amongst them, it would turn out, was Astrad Lungren, a man who was already an agent of SHIELD. Afraid of hurting others, he isolated himself and did not return calls from other SHIELD agents. This was a mistake, however, as HYDRA operatives stormed his apartment, seeking to take him in as a brainwashed asset via the Faustus Program. As a trained agent, he managed to fight the initial attackers off, but he knew that he can't them on all at once, as he wasn't able to fully control his Inhuman powers either way. It was here that other SHIELD agents came and removed HYDRA's grunts from the scene, either gunning them down or forcing them to escape. When asked why didn't he answer, he said that he was also affected by the mists, and didn't want to accidentally freeze anyone to death. Fortunately, though, SHIELD had just the right persons for the job of making him learn to control his powers… [hr][center][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/2b9961e7f584284dd94c8cddd2b3e56e/549c64bf62717537-ad/s500x750/23b59c253d0f67544992cd8af76e9f906e7f25e1.gifv[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i] [color=ec008c][center]Extras[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b] [color=ec008c]Character Quote:[/color][/b] "I believe we have been given these powers to protect those without."

And example post be: [hider=My Hider] [quote=@The Man Emperor] [b][u]Nikolay Andreevich Ivushkin[/u][/b] As always, Nikolay had taken a lot of notes, applying just about every color in the rainbow when it came to his highlights on important words and terminology out of all the things that the teacher had taught. He usually wrote his notes in his native Russian Cyrillic, translating his thoughts from English to his mother tongue before jotting them down. He did this on purpose; these were, after all, his personal notes, and he wasn't at all the type that let others copied from his work, as it was his firm belief that everyone should learn independence when it came to studying properly. There weren't a lot of other Russians in the school anyway, and it wasn't like he would actively let them copy either. Nikolay licked his lips as he looked upon the food that was being served to him in the cafeteria. He wasn't sure what this was called, but it has been the stuff that he has been buying for the last few days that he has been here. It was probably called zinikang... or something. It was much better when rice is added, too. He bowed to the lady over the counter in an attempt to give his thanks... only for him to remember that this was the Philippines, not China or Korea. The small minority of Koreans in Sakhalin were the only Asians that he had interacted for most of his life, so he kind of assumed that they were all similar... only they weren't at all. Embarassed, he simply managed to say [i]'salamat po'[/i] (thank you), though with a heavily accented tone. He need more practice... Nikolay proceeded to look for people that he already knew; those he already considered to be somewhat familiar or amicable to him in this school of magical warriors. Thankfully, he found Jiem and Pablo. Together as always... "Eyo, [i]privet[/i].", Nikolay said to the two. "Do you mind having a third wheel?"
