i. krampus: the yule lord, brom
( steve toussaint // various media depictions of krampus, 100+, agender, he/him/it/its ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that NICHOLAS SAIN is a FACTORY WORKER that works in SECTOR 8. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of CHRISTMAS ENTITY (SANTA & KRAMPUS PHYSIOLOGY). That must be why they’re RESILIENT and JUDGMENTAL. If you ask me, they remind me of aesthetics. They are affiliated with NOBODY. ( may, 26, est, she/her )

questionnaire:
how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement? before 'armageddon,' accounts suggest that nicholas originated in alaska. in winters, far more durable than the rest of the year, he trekked far and wide, coming across new settlements each december to become jury, judge, and executioner. he arrived in sol city a meer week ago and has no strong feelings yet.
do they trust the council's leadership? why or why not? some of them are good, some of them are not. for that reason, he does not fully trust them, but he does trust that it could be worse.
if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didn't, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not? ...he's full-time santa most of the year, he can make toys in a factory!
what's one object that they always keep on their person? a pad of paper and a burgundy bag...
(mutant only section)
what is your character's ability (or abilities)? christmas entity (with santa + krampus physiology)
are they gen i or gen ii? gen i
what can your character do? what are their strengths? at all times: can manipulate and create winter weather, is immune to the effects of winter weather, can execute any magic relating to ice, is nigh-immortal, has enhanced durability, can manipulate and magically create toys, can induce wonderment, can induce surprise, can manipulate candy, can manipulate wood, is an inexplicable master at riding chariots; as santa: can induce happiness, can induce parties, can embody love, can embody hope, has enhanced wisdom, is a literal master of disguise, can perform various acts of misc magic (levitation, conjuration, etc); as krampus: possess demon and beastfolk physiology (with hooves, horns, and a prehensile tongue), can perform various acts of dark magic, can sense evil, can induce fear and curses, can climb on walls, possesses the powers of tormentors and tricksters, can trap souls in his personal void
what can't they do? what are their weaknesses? so clearly nicholas's krampus form is far more worrisome, but his krampus form seldom comes out any time before december and after january. he is also weak against users of indomitable will and isn't as strong in the heat (which sol city is full of, even if he can create his own winter).
is there anything else you'd like to specify about them? i
1) i like it when krampus is portrayed as a benevolent spirit who can just get a little carried away. for those of you who were here for abel barnes and remember anything about him (he was the rougarou fella who terrorized the bearded lady), nicholas in his krampus form will be similar to him, but not quite as harsh in his judgments and executions of said judgments... so i will have a lot of fun plotting with the 'naughtier' muses <3
2) i'm honestly still trying to figure out how his santa/krampus switch will work without making it a copy paste of abel barnes... but it honestly might be. only it'll be less gradual, it'll basically be "from 4:01am to 8pm, he's jolly! from 8:01pm to 4:00am, he's taking care of business!" with a werewolf like, but very quick, transformation... but we'll see...
3) kinda dig the idea that no one, not even himself, is fully aware of where he came from. i mean, it's not like he's actually santa! or krampus! but he's still a mystery... so it's... it's not like he's actually santa or krampus... right?
4) the krampus of michael dougherty's krampus (2015) is biblically accurate krampus!nicholas, but i will be using gifs from other movies/shows too since... krampus is rarely onscreen for more than 15 seconds in live action media JKFA
5) speaks with a german accent and knows german when he's in krampus form FHASDLK and it WILL get exaggerated!
6) even though he's very friendly when he's santa... he's still watching you :\ he's watching you right now! taking notes!
