Author's Notes

Snowtalon started first appearing on Champions in November 2011, as a power armored snow dragon with rather incidental origins. In many ways or others, he has grown and developed into a completely new character while still maintaining his core concept. As of now, he's a multidimensional snow dragon who was convicted, thrown into a multidimensional portal to certain death and ended up on Earth. He now works with UNTIL around the globe as a lethal, scaly weapons platform capable of dumping a third world country's worth of firepower into a single location.

However, Snow is not without his faults. He is a genuinely very 'human' character with identifiable weaknesses that can potentially hinder a mission or even cost him his life. However-however, this does not mean Snow is weak in any fashion. With his plethora of weaponry and his own abilities he had attained over the years, he is a battlefield terror.

Description

The man, the legend, the dragon. Skarius Snowtalon is one of the most iconic of his species, hailed as a hero by the Tralonian Empire formed by the Tralonian dragons. When he was double-crossed in a lifechanging moment and sent catapulting into our own dimension, he emerged with his integrity intact. Touched by the crucible of war and with a tempered mind, in two different universes where danger lurks at every corner, Colonel Snowtalon remains stalwart and relentlessly continues to push forward against the tide of malice, showing genuine care for the people he interacts with and leaving life all the brighter with every good deed, and an inspiration to many. Read on, and learn more of this great character - one who has not only been awarded with greatness, but scarred with personal tragedy and a tendency to be hard on himself.

Physical Appearance

The dragon is at peak of physical health for his species. Standing at a staggering eight feet and four feet wide and boasting a muscular frame and build, Skarius' menacing structure is the result of intense physical training he endured in both his training and during his youth. However, due to the nature of his subspecies, his physicality has a tendency to fluctuate - at times, he is muscular and flat-stomached, and at others, slightly tubbier. His natural features also come into play, having draconic features such as horns that jut from his shoulders, the tip of his tail and outwardly from the very top of his head. The frills on the sides of his head are extremely flexible and can be folded for fitting into headgear, but they also serve as his ears. His eyes, like all Tralonians, are bio-luminescent, meaning they can glow depending on mood. His military background is further supported by the massive lip scar streaking across his face. If one were to see his exposed chest, they would notice what looks like a burn scar in the shape of runic letterson his left pectoral, and a large scar running down his side. He also suffered an X-shaped scar on his cheek during torture at the hands of VIPER.

Like all Snow Tralonians, he possesses a white-grey mane around his shoulders, upper chest, upper back and some fur on the tip of his tail, being the only sub-species capable of growing fur. Skarius' age is starting to kick in now, his frills changing colour and more of his scales a darkening blue. An interesting note is that unlike most dragons he lacks wings, causing many people to often mistake him for a lizard, which has evolved into something of a running gag. However, the true reason for this is because his species has crossbred with so many humanoid lifeforms that they themselves have taken a more humanoid form: standing on two legs, external sexual organs and most obviously, the lack of wings. However, they still keep their other draconic traits, such as the horns, the head shape, tails, retractable claws/talons and of course the hearing frills. An interesting characteristic of his species is that their muscle tissue possesses a very high magnitude of density, thereby capable of lifting a lot. As a result, they are physically more able than humans - a pre-teen Tralonian can lift a ton with little assistance.

UNTIL Associations

Project: NIDHOGG

NIDHOGG, named after the dragon of the ancient Norse world who gnawed at the roots of Yggdrasil, was the project that began in 1984 to establish contact and an alliance with the Tralonian dragons. From up until 2012, Skarius was the sole representative of NIDHOGG and several scientists who helped study Tralonian biology, as well as the origin of his codename.. But with the advent of the Kizameth event, several Tralonian ambassadors and scientists have began working with UNTIL, under Skarius' supervision. NIDHOGG also worked on several powered armour and weapons projects, as well as vehicles - the armour and weapons seen on Skarius himself and in Praetor Garrison, were a result of the project.

Praetor Garrison

Although a small, hundred-man unit, Praetor Garrison is one of the deadliest facets of the intricate jewel that is UNTIL. The Praetors are named after the one of the titles offered by Ancient Rome as either a magistrate, or a commander. This is the origin of their mantra; "Thus always with tyrants", and they lived true to their cry when they assisted Snowtalon in defeating the devious Tharne Darkveil. Consisting of high-tech, prototype weaponry and power armour developed by Project: NIDHOGG, these soldiers answer to Skarius' whim, operating with efficiency in the attempt of global peacekeeping. When the time calls for it, however, the Praetors are ready to do battle.

Nishi Yamako and Steven Mason

A Japanese doctor hailing from Hiroshima, Dr. Yamako is a surgeon working with both UNTIL and Mercy Hospital to treat alien and extra-dimensional lifeforms by studying their biology and taking samples. She serves as Skarius' personal doctor and has known him for a number of years. Aside from working on Project: NIDHOGG, she is also deeply interested in Project: QUICKSILVER, which instead of handling Tralonian biology, it researches the inner workings of the Akonians, and its two Earth representatives Harren Kaleon and Arrukhan the Black. Steven Mason is also an old friend of Skarius' who works solely on Project: QUICKSILVER, the pair of doctors beginning a new endeavor to combine modern medicine with Harren's nanites.

The Tralonian Dragons

History

Early Life

Kizameth, the floating capital city of the planet of Tralonia.

Snowtalon was born in Northwestern Tralonia, October 26th, 813 BC, in the snowy regions, moving to the city of Kizameth once he was of age. Snowtalon was a gifted boy from a young age, but often ostracized by others due to his inherent introvertedness and love for literature and lack of social ability. Working mostly alone and with few friends, he pursued a career in study of the mind, specifically, that of psychology, and was closely working towards the goal of getting what is the Tralonian equivalent of a degree in that specific field.

The reason for turning himself into a soldier was due to his father's untimely demise and the disappearance of both his mother and sister at the hands of a cult leader named Lord Tharne Darkveil, who served the Bleak Cult - a Qliphothic cult based around the worship of the Bleak Ones, dark gods who were planning Tralonia's demise. Tharne's bloodline had a long feud with Skarius', the two families had been at each others throats for long, mostly due to Tharne's influence. Skarius' resulting trauma is still felt today, centuries later. He dropped his more academic field after having an epiphany about the real bitterness, and the fact that other people might suffer the same fate on a far bigger scale were there not the valiant defenders to keep invaders at bay. So he became a soldier, working night and day to perfect his body into a "strongman" build, wishing to be as swift as he was strong, even if he couldn't pull agility into the mix.

At some point in time, Skarius Snowtalon became a fabled Tralonian Battlemaster, masters of all kinds of weaponry, inherited technological giftness and each with a genius IQ - Snow possessed one that reached 170, and received intense strength augmentations Tralonians live long lifespans, lifespans of up to and past 10,000 years. However, the Tralonian Dragons often undergo trials of maturation. Tralonians essentially undergo an aging "rebirth" every thousand years, in which they undergo rites of passage. One of the most important is when one reaches around two thousand years of age, where one is given a ship and told to settle down on another planet, encouraging them to explore. The Shadow Tralonians are the biggest practitioners, given their inquisitive nature. Snow had already had his first two, given his two thousand years of ago, first going on a pilgrimage, and the second serving as a nomadic traveller. Five hundred years ago, however, Snow committed a crime only known to himself, as archives are lost now, a bitter pill he has struggled to swallow.

As time went on, Snow became a war hero and an icon of his people, a living breathing symbol of defiance against all odds. A genetic throwback to the great pillager and warlord Tannorian Larias Snowtalon, Skarius was said to have resembled him and Snow himself aspired to become an Exemplar - the Tralonian equivalent of a saint, living or dead - which Tannorian was the fifth out of sixth. Tannorian ultimately redeemed himself when he powered The Vanquisher, a giant "gene-cannon" which was powered not only the sacrifice of someone's life, but also capable of erasing DNA from existence. The Vanquisher was used against the Lightning Tralonians, who were based around using electricity and were five to seven times stronger than the other provinces and subspecies, who attempted to take Tralonia for themselves. Tannorian, despite a controversial life, redeemed himself as thus. Snow recalls the tale of Tannorian's bravery and his last moments, the moments which redeemed him, as clear as day, as it reminds him that even the most ambiguous, not to mention the most reckless of people, can save themselves, even at the eleventh hour.

Tharne Darkveil's Bleak Cult had grown in power within the capital city of Kizameth. As he was slowly gaining power, he placed the Tralonian Tribunal of Militants, which was a council of governors who oversaw all Tralonian military engagements, military policies and even dealt in court cases regarding military and war crimes, under his control using a powerful Mind Sigil, given to him by an unknown outside force who had shown interest in his malicious endeavors. Slowly, as his power creep moved in, Tharne seized control of The Judicator, the judge responsible for doling out suitable punishments for those deemed war criminals, and converted him to the service of the cult. Tharne's masters deemed Snowtalon a threat, urging Darkveil to deliver a fate worse than death - to have him condemned in the eyes of the public, to have him exiled.

Tharne succeeded.

So when the time came, Snowtalon was framed for military crimes he did not commit, and was sentenced to inter-dimensional exile by The Judicator, the evidence backed by Snowtalon's superior and ex-mate, Azala Emberstone. This stinging betrayal remained in Snowtalon's heart for years to come, even after the Reclamation of Kizameth three decades later. Snow was lucky that The Judicator was required to give him his arms, his armour and his utility belt, or he would not have come prepared in the years to come.

Alone in Another World

Snowtalon, roaring at off-screen VIPER soldiers.

Fate decreed Snow's death would not come early. The Earth year was 1983, and a terrible winter storm had rolled in over the English countryside. By himself in on alien planet, Snowtalon did not panic. At one time, he was relieved as he had been condemned on his homeworld, now an outlaw. However, at the same time he was at loss as to where he was, and what to do. He traveled the countryside for signs of life, discovering the main inhabitants of the planet were humans. He had interacted with their kind from other dimensions before, and even in his home dimension. However, while the dragon was laying low from the inhabitants, he accidentally ran into a entourage of several soldiers belonging to the terrorist group called VIPER. He attempted to subdue them using his cryokinesis, as winter-based dragons had the ability to control cold weather and freeze water molecules in the air to create ice. Although he still had his durable armor with him, he was unprepared for the Draysha enforcer advancing on him, who shattered his left bracer with a few punches and soon knocked him out. They took interest in him because of his reptilian nature, and knowing VIPER's obsession with making reptile-themed super-soldiers, they took him to the Nest that had been hidden within a nearby mountain.

The VIPER scientists planned on splicing his corpse and experimenting with it, and confiscated Skarius' belt. However, little to their knowledge is that in confiscating it, the belt's remote distress signal device was activated, attracting the attention of UNTIL radar operators, their organization having a base in London. They dispatched a small strike force of experienced UNTIL agents to the location. They discovered the distress signal was coming from a VIPER nest, and so the UNTIL soldiers tore their way through the base, snakes falling left and right. They discovered the distress signal belonged to Skarius' belt, and found him locked in shackles behind an energy cell, his armor nearby. Noticing his obviously injured state, the super-team took pity on the dragon. He was released and given both the armor and his belt back, and as a result his translation program allowed him to speak English to the soldiers. The UNTIL group had him escorted back to the UNTIL headquarters in London, before promptly leaving. The dragon explained his situation to his rescuers, and asked why he had been captured by these humans. The agents noticed his lip scar, the armor and the belt, asking him if he were a soldier. The dragon replied he was once a military commander before coming to Earth at least a month ago by then, and that he was not from this dimension. However, given previous experience and that technologically advanced piece of equipment on his person, UNTIL Director Gideon H. Jones gave him a proposition - working with UNTIL as a supersoldier. Snowtalon agreed, becoming the first representative of the Tralonians on Earth. This resulted in Skarius becoming an agent for UNTIL and the beginning of Project: NIDHOGG, from where Skarius gains his codename.

The Battle of Detroit

Snowtalon's original urban outfit, worn in the Battle of Detroit.

In the next nine years, the painful year of 1992 had started. In secret, Snow was sent to Detroit to monitor super-crime activity. The dragon had been staying undercover for the last few years, so his appearance would not attract any attention - Millennium City did not lose Detroit's abundance of super-powered and diverse range of heroes. Thanks to his teaching of culture and learning from his UNTIL mentors, he could now speak English without having to use his translator. He had also developed his signature British accent.

On the 22nd of July, UNTIL's suspicions proved all too right, much to their dismay. Dr. Destroyer came close to destroying Detroit using his Meteor Magnet doomsday device, but the metahuman Vanguard sacrificed himself to stop the asteroids heading for Earth. Even then, this wasn't enough to stop the mad scientist's diabolical scheme. Destroids rising up to the thousands, hired villains and mercenaries running amok, even the green-skin four-armed brute known as Grond and the metallic, robotic dinosaur referred to as Mega-Terak began demolishing and rampaging around the city. PRIMUS forces were called, as were what was left of the law enforcement. Even the eight-foot-armed-to-the-teeth dragon smacked his jaw at the enormous invasion force, knowing that a huge battle would commence. Battling his way through many Destroids and trashing up several hired mercenaries in the process, he managed to save several civilians trapped underneath rubble while at it.

Snowtalon took to the skies with his combat gear equipped and his weapons at the ready, to strike at his big target - Mega-Terak, already under attack by several other heroes. The dragon swerved around the robotic skeletal dinosaur, pelting at it with ice shards, bullets and whatever else he could throw at it. The monster ravaged the streets, killing civilians and causing hundred thousands in property damage. It's static field, steel teeth and lightning breath proved a match for the powerful draconic hero, resulting in a tense, exhausting fight that lasted until early morning on the 23rd of July. The armored dragon had been fighting for all night, nearly out of endurance as it seemed Terak would win. However, the dragon had a sudden burst of energy, and defeating the robotic dinosaur by tearing out it's Bioinformatic Engine - ruining Terak's senses and causing it to flee.

Even though he won the battle he gazed off into the horizon. Soon, he could not believe his eyes as to what he saw next - Destroyer's Orbital Cannon had been activated, meaning Zerstoiten's underground base and presumably himself would have been obliterated, along with the Sentinels super-team. Knowing he would have very little time, Snow took what little chance he had and flew out of Detroit as fast as he could, feeling the heat of the incredibly powerful bombardment cannon on his toes. Once he had cleared himself from the blast zone, he fell down to his knees, looking at the ruined city. Distraught at the events and his failure, he was wracked with guilt, bringing back the stinging memory of his betrayal by his people as he returned to the UNTIL HQ in England to bring the terrible news. Despite all his efforts, he felt that he would be berated for being unable to save tens of thousands of lives. Expecting resentment, he was instead commended for his efforts in subduing many of the Destroids and Mega-Terak, to his surprise. Even though he failed, they had him on assignments around the world afterwards, despite such a tragedy.

Current Life

If anything, Snow is no relic from a past age. By 2011, Snow had become a global Agent, sent by UNTIL solo or occasionally with a team to various hotspots around the world. He has gotten to know many other colorful heroes in this time, as well as met a few enemies. No matter, the dragon was a rising star in the hero community for his efforts. His assistance in the cleanup of Westside, his involvement with Operation: Demonflame and his recent endeavors regarding the Destroid invasion, are examples of this. The project he is found working most with is Project Hermes, UNTIL's mystical force, as there has been a strange increase in magic-origin villains in the past years.

Socially, Snow's known for having a heart of gold underneath his scaled, grizzled exterior. He's smart, considerate and generally fun to have around. Even if his activities as a soldier leave him somewhat preoccupied, crime activity from the 90's/80's has died down, so he gets more and more free time and the occasional slab of paperwork thrown his way. He can oft be spotted working out at Carl's Gym, building things in the MCPD Armory or simply taking a break at Club Caprice or Shererra's Bar. Another trait of him is his charisma. As mentioned above he's met several heroes personally, many of them having worldwide or in drastic cases, galactic fame. In the past year, it seems that the crime waves have just died down.

However, as of late, there have been some new stirrings in Millennium City...

Home Renovating and the Annihilator Attack

Snowtalon and Armory engage in the fight against the Terraxeir Annihilator.

In late November and early December, 2012, Snow's recent trips to Caprice have proved to be quite interesting. While at the bar, he discovered that two Terraxeir soldiers had managed to infiltrate the club, looking for the Ben'haian Shir'ith, also known as Slicer. Though he managed to chase the two out of the club with the assistance of a wolven Cognatus member Tiria, the two grunts had been calling for "Annihilator support", referring to the large automated weapons platforms the Terraxeir deploy on high-priority targets.

Once this incident died down, Snow got to work on building the elaborate underground base near his Penthouse. The ruins of Detroit proved to be an ideal breeding ground for building the base. Because of his involvement in the Battle of Detroit, he managed to fan out the entire base over a large area of the undercity. Humorously enough, he made an overpass over his friend Armory's own underground base, who had the same idea. He started storing his munitions here and set up a workshop in his armory. Once he was done with setting up the base, he installed the elevator system leading up to his penthouse in Downtown Millenium City, along with a hatch bay for his tank.

On December the 8th, Snow had arrived at Caprice yet again to find Slicer at the bar. Recently, she had subdued an Terraxeir General whose corpse was delivered to the morgue at the UNTIL HQ. While chatting, the female Ben'haian noted that a Terraxeir ship may be arriving at Earth, which she knew through her contacts. After she left to go to her garage, the previously mentioned Armory arrived at Caprice, panting. He had discovered disturbing energy signals above the City Center. The dragon made his way there while Armory brought a rough prototype of his 'Demolisher' mecha to the signal, and to their dismay, a Terraxeir Annihilator literally dropped out of the sky. A massive battle near City Center park ensued between the Annihilator, Armory and Snowtalon, culminating when the Terraxeir killer robot reduced Headshot's prototype to a few scraps of metal on rocket legs. His prototype cannon blasted the robot apart, winning the battle.

In the mean time, Armory had repaired his mecha and updated it for when the OSF were to retaliate. Learning from the experience that not even the best of warriors can often taken on their bigger enemies single-handedly, Snowtalon developed a matter manipulator capable of expanding his size, height and armour.

Return to Sender

Recently, Snowtalon encountered another Tralonian snow dragon who managed to evade Earth's dimensional barriers and enter the dimension. She went by the name Drozala Frostfist, who not only contacted Snow within her first week of being on Earth, but brought some very grave news - his home planet of Tralonia, the heart of the Tralonian Empire, had come under siege. A recent Qliphothic invasion occurred, and the planet's forces could not prevent the previous Emperor and Empress' demise. As a result, none other than the murderer of Snow's parents, a man Tralonia's history quickly forgot about, Tharne Darkveil assumed the role of the planet's ruler, with the assistance of his female compatriot - Azala Emberstone. Drozala's mention of the two almost sent Snowtalon into a barely contained rage. When Tharne took the throne, enormous black magic clouds obscured the atmosphere and plunged Tralonia into darkness. Now everyone lives under Tharne's brutal regime, but resistance forces fight indoctrinated Tharne loyalists across the the globe. Drozala returned to her world shortly after, and she was captured by the Tharne regime.

As a result, Skarius plans to amass an attack force and return to the planet of his birth. This movement has caused him to join an organization known as Tyrian Materials Complex, of which he as been assigned to as an assistant director - the group was made by a group of subsidiaries from another, the Metahuman Agent Contract Enterprise. With MACE's inactivity, the TMC was formed, and Snow was invited to join. Just a day after the mobilization for Tralonia was ordered, Snowtalon was attacked by Slayvel, the DEMON assassin, and Erilion the Immaculate, who was an incubus bound to DEMON's employ. The attack occurred inside Snowtalon's penthouse - Snow lost the resulting scuffle and lost an artifact he was keeping in stasis - this artifact was some sort of crown-shaped object with a relation to Qliphoth, as the energy inside resembled a Qliphothic energy signature. The two assailants managed to escape through a portal before Snow could stop them.

A month later, the event that came was known as The Reclamation of Kizameth began. Snowtalon rallied most of Tyrian Materials Complex's major members, including the CEO Sharilyn Corde, and began the siege. Praetor Garrison was present for the battle in a mostly support role, as an advancing wall of defense for the Tyrian team plus Snow's Team to retreat to should things get hairy. The Tyrian Team proceeded through a slave quarry after taking a detour to the undercity and freed the slaves, slaying the Earthen Tralonian Slavemaster present, a Tharne loyalist. However, the biggest revelation in the quarry was a mysterious, veiled figure which sprinted through the quarry toting a high-tech bow. The figure revealed itself as none other than Skaria Snowtalon, Skarius' long-missing twin sister he was separated at birth with. After identifying herself, she accompanied the team to the Munitions Factory on Kizameth, to secure it from the Tharne loyalists and to subdue Azala Emberstone.

Meanwhile, Snow's AVALANCHE tank was struck by a bolt of magic lightning from the magic storm circling overhead the city, which caused it to crash in the downtown of the floating metropolis. Assaulted by wave after wave of Tharne's Warmongers, Warrior-Servicemen, Exarchs and the like, until the assault was weathered. At the dusk of the battle they continued to move through the city and to the Internment Center. After dividing into two further separate teams, Snowtalon and his team reached The Redeemer - where Snow was once sentenced - and found his age-old foe.

Having grown in power and influence thanks to his affiliation with Tharne, The Tralonian Judicator possessed a powerful Voidite crystal which was capable of shorting out Skarius' power suit, leaving his suit malfunctioning for the duration of the fight. That was not the only problem - it also shorted out his utility implant, forcing Snow to rely on only his bare armour, his fists and his cryokinesis to subdue the foe. After being assailed by wave after wave of Qliphothic Horrors, including several Nightmare Demolishers, Snow took the fight one step further and tore apart The Redeemer for good, sucking the team and half of the Internment Center into the Shining Darkness.

Snow and half of his team ended up finally defeating The Judicator in the Qliphoth, before returning to realspace and reuniting with the other half of Snow's team. In their efforts, they had saved four Tralonian Partisans - Tellyn, a Celestial Apothecarius, a combat medic, Kraxin, an Earthen Bombardier, explosives expert, Drozala, who relied mostly on her elemental abilities, and Dellarous, a Flame Warrior-Sergeant. Upon freeing the Tralonia militia, however, it was revealed that several Rodir priests had been taken captive. The Rodi were the people of the priestess Mesira, spirits in possession of a host body. The priests were traveling pilgrims who helped the Tralonians in previous times and maintained close relations, allowing them to take pilgrimages upon the surface of Tralonia. They had helped convert Dellarous, Kraxin and Tellyn to the service of Naemaeles, Alouz and Scindixus respectively. The team eventually managed to leave the Internment Center and soon took a hike to the Munitions Factory as Praetor Garrison held off the bulk of the Tharne army, which included Erilion at the head. Skarius in particular, was finally reunited with his sister, welcoming her with a warm embrace and restoring his morale.

Azala Emberstone had been waiting for them - in the great furnaces and smelting pots of the Munitions Factory, Azala had been sitting upon a throne of steel and copper, awaiting their arrival. She had planned for them to come to her rather than for her to go after them, like Slayvel and Erilion did, and instead stayed in wait. After trudging through the factory, Azala mockingly greeted the team before something began rising from the ground - the Subjugator-model Assault Fortress, essentially a giant floating weapons platform with a grand total of eleven different weapons poking out of its metal shell. Barely managing to hold such a mechanical beast off, the leader of the Silver Lance, Silver Blast, sacrificed himself by detonating his power armoured suit within the core of the machine, which led to White-Glint's alter-ego began to emerge thanks to the build-up of stress. A darker aspect of his personality, Nine, obliterated the suit that Snow had built for him and went on a roaring rampage through the factory, leaving Slicer, Mesira, Illusionista, Gauntlet and most of the other team to go and track him down. Meanwhile, Skarius took Mesira, Varulfr, what remained of the Silver Lance and Power Bunny to confront Azala, who faced her final fate at Snow's hands - a lecture on her viceful ways followed by executing her via Icebreaker.

After emerging outside, the Obelisk of Undying Despair, Tharne's control tower in the heart of Kizameth had power circling around it. Ordering Power Bunny and the Silver Lance to return to Praetor Garrison's aid after catching Nine, Snow flew both Varulfr and Mesira to the top of the tower to confront Tharne, once and for all. Waiting for him at the very top of the Obelisk was not just Tharne, but Slayvel as well, who had left Erilion in command of the army before returning to Tharne's side. With the Rodi priest at his side, Tharne revealed the other trick up his sleeve - he had enlisted the help of Xikorai the Fallen, a fallen archangel cast down from the Paesa pantheon for her radicalism. Before delivering a lecture of his own, a dark mirror of Snow's, he plunged all three of the heroes into their own miniature dimensions for the final confrontation.

Varulfr was brought to the lab where he was first turned into an anthropomorph, fighting against Slayvel. After being impaled by Slayvel's sword through his ribs, Varulfr pulled the sword from his body and decapitated Slayvel with but a single swing of the blade, finally ending the cutthroat assassin.

Mesira was brought to a familiar scene - a recreation of The Clash within the Storm, the battle in which Xikorai and Mesira first fought. After a clash of intense magical energies, dodging sword blows and epic warrior-like poetry delivered on both ends, Mesira finally broke Xikorai's mask - her essence. As a result, Xikorai finally, well and truly, disintegrated, fading from existence itself.

Skarius was brought to one of the most important events in his life. He was transported to a recreation of the Battle of Detroit, in the ruins of the aftermath. After an enormous battle of blades, axes and sharp objects coming to blows, Skarius lost his left hand to Lord Tharne, but this did not stop him from continuing on and finally slaying the Qliphothic Cult-Leader at last. Plunging Icebreaker into Tharne's chest and shattering his illusion, Skarius delivered one final speech to Tharne before letting him fall to the surface of the Obelisk. The battle was won for Kizameth, and the magic storms lifted, allowing the ships to pass back into Tralonia. Much celebration - and a mechanical left hand - followed, including Snow and his entire team, as well as soldiers from Praetor Garrison, were enshrined in the Hall of Heroes. Snow was finally named Exemplar of Tralonia and Regent of Kizameth. However, Snow decided that he would not live a cushy life of comfort and fame in his own galaxy and left for Earth once again, with his allies. As of recently, he decided to leave the board of directors at TMC, joining a far more active group of do-gooders - The Liberators.

A Flaw in her Plan

Given Skarius' recent revelations of his father's death and his mother and sister's disappearance, Tharne's motivation for taking over Kizameth and several truths unraveled about his past, Snow has be unsure of what to think of himself. Recently, he had became frustrated, one part in due to his bitter past, the other due to his unsuccessful lovelife. A brief partnership with one Lori Talbot seemingly ends when she grows inactive and rarely venturing outside the magical library in which she was working. Snow became increasingly sexually frustrated as well, musing over the lack of positive energy in his life despite having saved billions of Tralonian lives and stopping the Tralonian Empire from crumbling. Thanks to the energy given to him by his frustrations, however, Skarius got to work to his power armoured suit to vent his increasing stress. This resulted in two more interesting developments: a complete overhaul of the suit, save for the armoured under-suit and chestplate, and updates to increase the amount of armour the suit actually used, as well as better connection to his cryokinetic abilities.

As is per norm with Snow, he got back to his usual routine of tending to Westside, while UNTIL's efforts were spread out elsewhere. Hearing an explosion from a rooftop nearby, he investigates its source; the vigilante known as Revenant, or Iggara Grell, survives the explosion unscathed and shows a developing interest in the draconian UNTIL operative. After introducing herself and getting to know each other, Snowtalon discovered an anomalous plot - a bank in Millennium City Center is looted in a complicated and a meticulously planned fashion. The looped camera feeds showed that one instant the bank was full, and the next the money was mere null and void. After disassembling one of the cameras and offering its recordings to the MCPD, Skarius and Iggara, or Iggy as she preferred, traveled to the rooftop. Revenant discovered that the roof's cement was fresh, suggesting that the ceiling was breached, then cemented over afterwards. Leading him to the top floor of Mercy Hospital, Iggy proceeded to discover that the windows had been glossed in the previous week, revealing that the bank robbing masterminds were smart enough to consider Mercy Hospital's top floor being able to see them escaping through the bank roof. Deducing that someone at Mercy Hospital may have been related to the plot, the helicopter pad on the roof suggests that the money was airlifted. Iggara and Skarius soon headed for the docks, where a thug related to the robbers was found and knocked unconscious for questioning later.

The plot seemed to have stopped there - no further traces. The whole robbery stops after the investigation at Mercy. Skarius visited Iggara several days later in her home, to find several thugs breaking and entering. While the thugs are easily subdued, albeit somewhat painfully, Grell went back to her normal routine. Snow, believing something was up, began to suspect Iggara of taking the money herself. The problem in Snowtalon's bout of paranoia was, that Iggara was a mastermind - no way she would have hidden the money in her downtrodden abode in Westside. Snow soon figured out the flaw in her plan to rob the bank - the fact that she might just see Snow as a friend, rather than the cover for the robbery. Believing nobody would suspect her if she was hiding behind someone as authoritative as Snowtalon, she executed her plan flawlessly - the inside men to act as the guards, the bodies dumped into the river, and the fall-guy to take the bullet at the docks. The plan stopped, however, at an X stamped on the map she showed him - where Iggy and Snow first met. After her confession that she did mastermind the stealing of the money, Skarius decided that she would redeem herself by helping him take the money back. Snow passed on several donations to the bank in City Center that was robbed, covering her trail. Iggara then confessed the reason she stole the bank money - the man known as Tobias Briar, an ex-UNTIL member who threatened to poison the water supply of Detroit, had been selling her the synthetic medicene she needed to survive - at extortionist prices. Hiding out in a secret base in Canada, he had sold himself out to VIPER. About a day later of searching through the Canadian wilderness, Briar was tracked down and killed, treated with no mercy by Iggara. From the wounds she'd sustained, she went out cold afterwards, but not before downloading the information needed to replicate the medicine. She was safe.

Recent

After discovering a mystery bank robbery, Iggara "Revenant" Grell, who decided to investigate with him, confessed her masterminding of the plot. Skarius chose to let her go, and the two continue to work together to retrieve the money. The City Center bank that was robbed had received a compensatory donation, allowing him to cover Iggy's tracks.
Faced and defeated a combination VIPER, mercenary and Manimal army in Downtown, as well as subduing the eighteen-foot manimal elephant known as Tracey Edwards. Skarius, however, had to use his matter manipulator in order to fight him, and became mentally and physically drained - falling unconscious post-fight, not helped by the fact he had sustained a large piece of debris from the Interceptor jet he was piloting beforehand.

Past

Crash-landed with The Liberators on an island off the coast of China in search for their superteam leader Anthony "Swift" Griffins and his wife, Raelin. The team is successful in retrieving both, but tensions rise with the nearby Manimal village. Following the discovery of munitions and armoured vehicles in the abandoned supervillain base which has been holding up an electro-magnetic field (thus preventing anything electronic inside, naturally Snow's suit meant he never lost power), the village is attacked by a splinter faction of Manimals. They are stopped, and Skarius calls for the UNTIL Superjet to come and pick the rest of the team members away.
The Reclamation of Kizameth is won, with Skarius' liberation force emerging victorious at the cost of the life of Silver Blast and Snow's left hand. Tharne Darkveil, Xikorai the Fallen, Azala Emberstone and Slayvel are all eliminated, with Erilion the Immaculate's escape a notable exception. However, Xikorai's involvement means a more sinister presence is stirring...
Promoted to Commander, becoming the head of a new fighting force. Snowtalon now leads and personally directs his own missions rather than being sent on ones of another's choice - for this explicit purpose, he has been offer his personal garrison, courtesy of the best in UNTIL - Praetor Garrison.
Attended the first SUMMIT of 2013.
Engaged in a battle in Millenium City Downtown with the Eternal Demise cultist Zeph, and subdued him.
Defended the UNTIL Sky Command Carrier from destruction with an entourage of heroes from the Destroid invasion. Successfully destroyed the Mega-Destroid on the deck of the carrier.
Memory cores proved correct. Snowtalon, along with almost every other hero present in Millenium City at the time, destroyed six Mega-Destroids who attacked the Champions HQ. Even the Champions themselves came to aid, along with Nighthawk.
Successfully defeated a scouting force of Destroids with heroes Sergeant Kodiak, Veronica "Vivi" Arky, Wildeye and Nightstrike. Recovered memory cores for coordinates of a possible future attack.
Prevented a large force of ARGENT workers from recovering Questionite deposits.
Lead a team of heroes consisting of Bronx, Sparx and Mindscape to foil a Roin'Esh plot to steal an artifact from Force Station Steelhead. Communications were also restored.
Disrupted the timeline during the Vibora Bay apocalypse. As a result, an alternate timeline, separate from ours, was created where Therakiel succeeded in bringing about the end of the world.
Ventured to the world of Multifaria with the help of Cnidarico and Riou Hotaru. Defeated Shadow Destroyer. Unfortunately, the true Doctor Destroyer was freed, and soon escaped. The Resistance overthrowed Shadow D's remaining New Harmon police forces.
Escaped from the collapsing Shining Darkness and the demise of the Kings of Edom during the Aftershock incident, with a large number of UNTIL soldiers, Major Fulani Okonkwo, and four other heroes.
Defeated Teleiosaurus, Teleios and a small army of VIPER soldiers, (including the ranks of Redstone, VIPER-X and Ripper)on Monster Island. Also defeated White Rhino and Phillipe Moreau in a raid on Moreau's lab, with the help of heroes Riou Hotaru, Armory, Heat Screech, and Anarchy. Later, hunted down Teleiosaurus permanently.
Defeated Luther Black in Operation: Demonflame. His ascension was thus prevented, and DEMON subsequently fell apart. Some members banded together, others retreated to Qliphothic Caves.
Uncovered VIPER's plans to use the Serpent Lantern for their own means - banished Viperia and stopped the terrorists from succeeding.

Trophy Cabinet

The items in a cabinet present in his penthouse are:

Ripped and torn Roin'Esh cape spad with spaulder. After Whiteout, almost nothing catches our draconic hero off-guard.
A scythe blade used by a Qliphothic horror. He pulled it off the arm of one of the horrors during the Demonflame op.
Baron Cimitiere's hat. He has good style, but the accent is appalling.
Destroid leg. A painful reminder from Detroit.
The OSF Annihilator's head. There are wires leading into it's head and it's connected to his generator. It can still talk.
A New Harmon Police helmet. Scratched and burnt, this trophy was taken after defeating Shadow Destroyer.
Discarded VIPER Emblem. Snatched one of these after the Serpent Lantern.
The Teleiosaurus' skull. Alas, poor Yorick...
A DEMON wand. Collected from the "Aftershock" incident after the caves.
Snow's robotic arm he had before having his organic one regrown. With science.
Armory's revolver that was given to Snow for Christmas. Such a beautiful thing.
The shattered breastplate of Tharne Darkveil, pillaged from his corpse at the end of the Reclamation.

Abilities

Skarius with his dual revolvers.

Technological Prodigy: Skarius is highly adept with several forms of technology. This technological prowess has remained in his family's bloodlines for millenia, and thus, Snow's prowess in creating or repairing tech is legendary.

Exceptional Combatant: His combat ability is staggering. The training he has endured has honed his marksmanship to impeccable levels, both with external weaponry and his cryokinesis. Coupled with hand-to-hand combat training, he wields not just the very temperature and guns from a pocket dimension, but his own fists, as lethal weaponry.

Augmented Strength: Snowtalon received powerful cybernetic augmentations when he became a Battlemaster. Whereas the strongest non-augmented Tralonian ever recorded in history could lift ten tons, Skarius can lift a total of twenty-five metric tons, bench-pressing cars with ease.

Inhuman Durability: Although it's certainly not fireproof, Snow's tough hide is capable of repelling smalls arms fire. Against larger calibers they'll have some trouble trying to get through the scales - against smaller ones, and they will literally flatten against his flesh. He wears his suit for more practical reasons - that, and he gets sent on all the dangerous missions, where an enemy will have certainly more high-grade weapons.

Combat Discipline: Skarius often needs to find himself immersed in one style of battle in order to awaken some of his most powerful abilities - this can result in him using highly powerful power-armour mounted weapons, raging icestorms, and controlled, powerful blows with his two-handed greatsword all in quick succession the more enemies he faces. His focus is nearly impossible to break - an literally ice-cold combatant.

Cryokinesis: This powers come naturally the snow dragon - being capable of freezing water atoms present in oxygen and warping its temperature to below zero, freezing it completely and allowing him to shape it. Sub-zero spears, fists coated in ice shards, or cold cages. Snow comes across as incredibly invested into these powers, showing heavy skill and practice. The way Snow uses his powers is through manipulation of forces rather than producing the ice from his body.

Genius IQ: Snowtalon was a geek from a young age, possessing an IQ of 130. As a result, he is extremely articulate, thoughtful, philosophical and creative. He is quoted as saying that his IQ is a bigger strength than his physical size, muscle, weapons and his armour.

Equipment

The AVALANCHE Tank.

TYRANT/SLAYER Powered Battlesuit: Snowtalon's highly sophisticated battlesuit, referred to by UNTIL as the Tyrant/Slayer suit, and by Skarius, albeit affectionately, as "The Can", is a powerful war machine of masterly-crafted engineering. The heads-up-display details Snow's life systems, shield strength and armourintegrity in addition to a priority targeting computer, which highlights targets of high importance. The utility pack on the back allows Snowtalon to intercept enemy transmissions and listen in on their recordings. The pack also carries his missile array containing six missiles arranged in two rows. The pack, as well as the feet, have jet thrusters installed to allow Snowtalon flight, exceedingly powerful in order to let the heavy dragon fly, and can greatly increase their vertical takeoff for building-scaling rocket jumps. The actual protection the suit provides is three layers Kendrium-Titanium alloy, providing substantial protection from arms fire and other hazards, coupled with Questionite shock absorber.

WRAITH Stealthsuit: Despite rumours questioning its existence, Skarius has, in fact, developed a stealth-focused, lightly armoured suit with various modifications. Firstly, special padding on the soles of the boots that allow even the one-ton snowdrake to move silently, and silenced machineguns installed on the shoulder and in the arms. It also comes equipped with a cloaking system that envelopes Snowtalon's entire frame with all spectrums of light, rendering him totally invisible, save for a small shimmer during movement.

Voidite: The enigmatic power source that runs most of Snow's technology is known as Voidite energy, originating from the Tralonian-discovered bizarre dimension known to them as The Void. It is a highly transformative element that takes multiple forms, whether it be solid, liquid, or anything beyond and in-between. An ancient eldritch energy source, Voidite is identified with many kinds of colours and hues, eldritch in origin, constantly radiating a magical signature - while Skarius cannot create any more of the energy, he does know how to incorporate its manufacture with UNTIL projects - the Gateway shuttle coils that allow their vehicles to stay above ground perpetually are a result of Project: NIDHOGG.

AVALANCHE Hovertank: This enormous hovering tank-like gunship was built by UNTIL as a part of project to deliver vehicles to a handful of heroes in Millenium City. Snow was chosen as a particular candidate, and his tank made it's debut when defending the carrier from destruction. Its Kendrium Alloy Plating protects the tank from most conventional forms of harm, the teflon coating giving it the ability to reflect projectiles, and the tank is outfitted with anti-aircraft missiles, reconstructive nanites, a heavy cannon and an autocannon loaded with piercing rounds. The storage bay can also hold several people at once. After the story Sacred World, the AVALANCHE was retired.

Matter Manipulator: A device constructed for fighting larger threats, upon activation, takes control of an object's mass in a small field, causing a shift in weight and in height. This allows Skarius to reach a total of twenty feet in height, ideal for taking out larger foes - however, it comes with two major drawbacks. Firstly, the field only affects the things Snow is currently wearing on him, meaning he cannot shift weapons, and even if he could he cannot create larger ammunition for firearms. Secondly, the device puts an immense strain on Skarius' body, draining him mentally and physically - leaving him unable to do much afterwards.

Handheld Firearms: Possessing an extraordinary amount of weaponry, Skarius carries with him his favourite weapons - an autocannon that can be attached to his left arm and wielded onboard his suit, a pair of revolvers that can convert themselves into wrist-mounted cannons on his suit, and a four-barreled shotgun that can be mounted atop his backpack as an anti-air flak cannon.

Icebreaker An age-old relic recently awakened from Snowtalon's collection, Icebreaker is a heavy blade that were recovered from a DEMON repository Snow once raided with a group of HERMES operatives. Recently he tinkered with it nd modified the sword with a power field enveloping the blade, causing it to deal heavier damage when he strikes with it. Made from a combined alloy of kendrium and steel, its density is so high that one of Snow's enormous strength can wield it - however, the sword is mainly a trophy, for now, only brought out in times of need.

Utility Implant: A highly advanced cybernetic augmentation allows Snow to access his apparel, weaponry, ammo types and armor straight from a pocket dimension the implant is linked to. It also uplinks with the suit to provide him with an ammunition counter, Originally, Snow used a device attached around his waist like a belt to perform these functions before performing this procedure. It allows him access to various databases, the Champions Response and Protect channel and other commlines, as well as various programs such as text allowing for holopad typing. The belt was since given to the UNTIL-employed hero Armory. Most ubiquitous is these "upgrades" is his Riftpocket, which allows him to store objects up to the size of his own body.

Holographic Disguise: Snow is in possession of a small device attached to his left forearm that allows him to switch between his normal self and his more subtle human disguise. A few traits are shared between the real Snow and human Snow - such as the amber eyes and the pale skin.

Ammo Types

The ammo types used in his various weapons are of his own manufacture, though the schematics and even the actual rounds themselves are available for sale.

Standard Brass Casing Rounds: Used in different levels of caliber for his revolvers and autocannon.

Pulson: Non-lethal ammunition. Delivers disorienting charges towards the enemy, usually knocking them out cold under enough fire.

"Lighters": Plasma rounds. These particular kind of rounds can recharge on their own, meaning Snow won't run out of ammo when these rounds are in. They can also inflict plasma burning on enemies.

"Nanites": Nanobot rounds are used to "eat" power, and can easily shut down machinery and electronics.

"Magemasters": Eldritch rounds, enchanted with the capability to punch through all but the strongest of magical defenses and wards.

"Holepunchers": Questionite-tipped or Kendrium-tipped rounds, which are capable of punching through almost any kind of armor. Used quite rarely in comparison to other bullets, given their metals' worth.

"Blasters": Explosive rounds. They explode (duh) upon contact, and tend to be used in the autocannon.

"Snoozers: Tranquilizer rounds. Self-explanatory.

"Sparkplugs": Electrically charged rounds. Delivers a powerful shock to enemies, but is capable of short-circuiting machinery.

"Devastators": Thermobaric rounds. Thermobarics are of devastating (hence their name) destructive capacity, capable of delivering an explosion of longer duration than the Blaster model. Snow uses these only on particularly powerful threats, otherwise risking serious collateral damage.

"Shinies": Silver rounds. Particularly useful for dealing with supernatural threats such as werewolves.

"Exorcists": Rounds engraved with wards. Mainly used for fighting zombies, ghosts and spirits.

"Baptists": Holy water rounds. They are encased in a small capsule within the bullet and release upon contact. Used against vampires.

Weaknesses

Although Skarius' status as both a natural machinist, polymath and cryo-kinetic make him a super-powered force to be reckoned with, every hero has their flaws.

I Do Believe I'm on Fire: Unlike many reptiles who are cold-blooded, Snowtalon is warm-blooded and does not suffer from any negative effects from warm nor cold temperatures. However, intense heat - such as fire - from natural and supernatural sources can cause his scales to burn away, leaving the flesh underneath very vulnerable to attack.

Houston, We've Got a Hull Breach: While Snowtalon's armour is highly resistant to supernatural, elemental and most conventional forms of attacks, enemies possessing super-strength can affect the density of the Kendro-Titanium suit and potentially cause a breach. This can easily expose his flesh and leave him vulnerable. While the armour itself is quite resistant to anything other than super-strength or density powers, its shields are a different story. Psychic attacks - telekinetic or telepathic - are notably effective, as are magical strikes, since they can work like a sort of EMP against the suit.

Sharper Objects and Bigger Bullets: While impervious to most blades and bullets of smaller calibre, Skarius' scales are not indestructible. Anything more than what the suit can take and anything more his own flesh can take will most certainly do him in - and possibly, permanently. The blue scales are the most armoured regions, so his white scales are particularly more vulnerable to attack.

Big Name, Big Stuff: Snow's presence and even his physical size attracts people. Sometimes, the wrong people - his large profile, both physically and from a reputation standpoint, can attract too much attention. He's also a large target physically and will draw enemy fire to him.

Broad Shoulders: His size is both his boon and his bane. His width and height means he can not fit nor sit on and in specific places and can find it difficult to maneuver around at such a size. This size can be used against him, as smaller opponents can subdue him.

Hard Counters: The "hit-and-run" type of opponent is definitely Skarius' anathema. An enemy who can deal a large amount of damage to the suit and thus Skarius himself, then maneuver fast enough to hit him over and over again while leading him on and evading his strikes is a thorn in his side.

Should Have Solved the Power Problems: Snowtalon's Voidite power source is magical in origin, as eldritch energy. If fortune fancies a kick in the balls, Snow's suit can be set offline with either well-timed spells or sustained magical attacks, leaving targeting benefits from his helmet and his shields non-existent.

Deathly Ticklish: Humorously, Snowtalon's scales are sensitive to touch, resulting in him become ticklish. This has been used against him once, much to his chagrin.

Personality

Snow, looking snazzy.

One would expect a creature of Snowtalon’s stature to be hostile, aggressive, and somewhat cold (pun intended), but Snow is anything but. Skarius' personality is contrary to his appearance, much to the surprise of many that first encounter him. He possesses an energetic and virtuous personality, often placing the concerns of others far above his own; even going as far as promising that he would sacrificing limb and, when the time calls for it, life, so that another may live instead. His heroic deeds and refusal to stay in the spotlight have earned the respect of his peers in the superhero community, as well as the trust of his friends. His modesty surrounding his actions show his inherent insecurity, despite his outward personality radiating confidence.

However, there is a more negative aspect of him that can push others away: his job requires him to often bark orders at his soldiers and assume the worst, meaning his occasional bitterness can penetrate his out-of-combat, more level-headed attitude. He often puts a blanket of snarky remarks and sarcastic retorts to prevent his bitter side from surfacing. Strangely for a military type, Skarius has a quirky manner of talking about even the most mundane of things, something that's earned him a few raised eyebrows. He tends to have a dry sense of humor and is quite deadpan when the time calls for it. Owing to his intelligence, he is also poetic and literary-minded. However, his bitterness has been far more visible recently, resulting in him becoming particular sour about not just himself, but how he believes he is inadequate, that he's not enough to do his job. Despite his perceptions, Snowtalon is, at heart, a true hero, one who holds to his values.

Friends and Associates

Varulfr

"Oh, boy. The Wolfman of Ireland! I believe there's been one too many jokes about his wife and myself. Her name's Scarlett, my name's Skarius. So when he says "Scar", instead of "Skar", I get really confu-...wait, hang on. Oh, right! Yes, he's definitely one of my besties. Or...beasties. Heh. Uh, yeah. Always have been, always will. It's us two that are the toughest of the Liberators, so we're gonna be there when we need to be in the thick of it. I'm glad to have someone like him have my back."

Caleb and Skarius were old friends in M.A.C.E. and continue to be so in the Liberators. The fondness between each other stemmed from the constant banter heard between the two during missions, as well as the fact they make a potent combination on the battlefield. An eyewitness once recalled an Ardacorp drone being destroyed by Varulfr mid-air because Skarius had thrown him so hard through the air that he collided with it in Westside.

Revenant

A heavy sigh is heard. "You know, Iggy is a tough subject for me. She's protected by me legally now, due to the fact she committed a crime, but since the money's back in bank she robbed it from, the crime is irrelevant, and she's been cleared. But she herself? Isn't she something...tough. Independent. Strong, oh boy is she strong...and she's pretty badass, let me tell you. I was really taken by surprise by the four arms, damn."

Iggara's interactions with Snow are very recent, but Skarius is a genuine friend to her, one of the few she's ever known. Continuously impressed by her displays of strength and all-around toughness, he greatly appreciates both her abilities and her intelligence - after all, she did, at first, trip him up, being a criminal mastermind. Now that she has reformed, she continues to be a powerful ally.

Livina Uaisbro

"Stole my heart. One day I'd like it back, that bloody minx...Liv's the love of my life. She's the only person I've managed to hold on to for so long and every time she shows me the slightest bit of affection, all pretense of myself being a burly tough guy just disappears as I turn to giggling putty in her hands! Oh. Uhm, eheheh, sorry. Anyway, she's magical, and I'm not talking about her powers."

Livina is currently Skarius' girlfriend and a sultry one at that - her teasing playfulness never ceases to flush Snow's ivory cheeks a bright violet blush, and she offers him a great variety of things - she has healed some of his more painful scars, both mental and physical, and serves as constant emotional and moral support for him, something Skarius simply cannot forget.

Nulion

"Ken's an interesting case, I think. He and I are almost parallels, but at the same time, similar. We're both outcasts from another time or another place, both reptiles, and not many people know much about us. But the most obvious thing is the fact that both of us are determined to stay by our friends side, and live by our values. Kenneth's one of the few people I trust with my life, and I can say that knowing that he would take utmost care with it."

Ken and Skar's interactions with each other began with the Liberators. While they might not be the most dynamic duo - with Nul remaining back, fighting at a distance, while Skarius is in the thick of combat, the two could not be closer friends. Ken is also one of the few people who know the tale of The War of the Tempest, since Skar is one of the few he has interested in the story.

Wintermist

"Harren? Harren...oh, where to begin? Although she and I don't go way back, I know a lot of people in Project: QUICKSILVER, since some of them also work on NIDHOGG. We're...bonding, so to speak. I'm actually thinking of offering to help her with her powers, and perhaps she could teach me something in return. Win-win!"

Harren Kaleon is another Liberators addition who Snow has grown closely fond of. The Akonian looks up to Snow especially, seeing him as one of the core members - as one of the tankiest members of the superteam, he's almost always on the field to defend the others. Snow believes Harren to be a huge asset to the Liberators - not because her powers are particularly impressive, but due to the fact she is very much bubbly and personable - as her pacifism is a source of admiration by Skarius.

White Glint

"A bit naive, but idealistic. Despite his brashness, he's well-meaning and a very powerful asset on the field. Also, another one of my oldest friends. You bird-feathered little shit...ah, what can I say. I don't think White's gonna fade from my memory just yet. He's a good friend of mine and I miss not being able to see him as much as I used to."

White ends up on the end of the occasional jab every now and then, courtesy of Snow, but he essentially serves as his de-facto mentor (despite already having one). After White was subject to brainwashing and later broke its hold, the dragon extended the offer to build White a new power-armored suit based on his own designs. The two share an interesting relationship, as the dragon is constantly at war with Ardacorp for attempting to exterminate White's species. While the young Liberavi appreciates his diligence, he finds it a bit overt, and in contrast to the somewhat boisterous dragon, prefers to keep quiet.

Enemies and Adversaries

Slayvel

An incredibly lethal swordsman, Slayvel was a high-ranking inner circle member of DEMON who used magical powers to enhance his prowess with swordsmanship. Since the demise of Luther Black during the Aftershock incident (presumably "living on in mankind's nightmares" according to Demoiselle Nocturne), Slayvel became the de facto leader considering Jack Fool, the Left Hand and Black Shepherd were all in custody at the time. He is also immortal, capable of suffering the most painful deaths possible up and to taking an orbital bombardment to the face, because he can reconstruct himself from his atoms. The only way possible to kill him, is using his own katana.

He assigned the cultists to assassinating UNTIL Project: Hermes agents and collecting enchanted artifacts, one of which being the Band of Edom. However, Slayvel allowed the Band to damage his mind, turning him into a psychotic, sadistic killer, if greatly enhancing his reflexes to superhuman levels and enchanting his sword with chaotic power. Even if his undercurrent of psychological damage is now ever-more apparent, the assassin still leads his own personal harem of Fire Demons and the cultists. Slayvel initially escaped from the Westside prison and contacted by Cyberlord when he discovered the whereabouts of the Roin'Esh ship, knowing Skarius was in the immediate area. Slayvel nearly jumped at the opportunity to kill Snowtalon, being a highly trained and recognizable UNTIL agent, as well as the one who had subdued Luther Black during Operation: Demonflame. While on Cyberlord's ship, he engaged him in combat using his enchanted katana. Although he failed, he soon used a spell of teleportation and promptly disappeared from the scene.

Now the katana itself is a very different story, thanks to its chaotic enchantment. It is unpredictable - it can be as blunt as a ballpoint pen and won't cut through a thing. Other times, it can slice cleanly through questionite, as Snow learned rather harshly. In his possession and what he has been lying around are artifact fragments of Qliphothic appearance. Recently, it has been stolen through the assistance of Erilion the Immaculate and by Slayvel himself, after the two managed to successfully subdue Snow.

Erilion the Immaculate

The incubus who had taken back the artifact, Erilion is currently in-league with Lord Tharne Darkveil as a minion of his. Working closely with Slayvel and also with DEMON, Erilion first appeared in Venice, Italy. A friend of Snowtalon's, a mild amnesiac Roin'Esh by the alias of Eviscerator, pursued the very same succubus who had disguised himself amongst the populace. Erilion made his way far into the Vatican and uncovered the final piece of the crown required. Now, the only part that was needed was the crown itself - in Snowtalon's possession.

They attacked Snowtalon in his very home and managed to escape with it, through a portal. If interdimensional in origin, the very same crown may already be in Tharne's possession. Combine this with the dark magic clouds, and Tharne is bringing all of Tralonia to be devoured by the Bleak Ones themselves. As an incubus, Erilion is a powerful demon who has claimed many lives through less-than-savory encounters. Unlike many so-called succubi or incubi inhabiting Millennium City, Erilion is the real deal. Using powerful supernatural abilities, he can call upon infernal energies, ensnare his foes in binding chains, and choke them with otherwordly, dimensional power. However, he prefers to seduce his enemies rather than fight them, truth being he is a coward.

Yet another truth has been unraveled - Erilion was not a pawn of Darkveil but instead King Utharr, the Mad King of Tucad on the planet Rodir, Mesira's place of origin. This reveals that Utharr and Tharne had a connection of some sort, working together, but also reveals things about the incubus. The Immaculate is evidently a Nysskel Demon and now serves as Utharr's Dark Prophet - the one who spreads his word.

DOPPELGANGER

Miscellanous

Character/RP Hooks

The easiest way to getting to know Snow is by working with UNTIL - he's worked with them for thirty years.

VIPER, more than any other organization, have attempted to subdue Snow several times within a week of him being on Earth. Their scientists in particular will take an interest in him, thanks to his draconic nature.

DEMON will also have their fair share of peeves with Snow as well, having been involved with Operation: Demonflame and Aftershock and secondarily his fights and gripes with Slayvel or Erilion.

Recently, the Valkyrie Corporation has struck a deal with Snowtalon. Snow is now the primary manufacturer for their weapons and armour sales, his equipment now being sold under the Valkyrie brand. Talk to him for commissions on such materials.

Despite his menacing visage, Snow makes friends quicker than you would think. Simply talk to him and it'll show.

He is a strong supporter of non-human rights, as he holds a strong belief in showing respect to those he meets.

When Snow's existence was made public when UNTIL moved into the United States, he became an overnight sensation in the United Kingdom. Many British people would know him more by his codename of "Brutus" more than his actual name. He has had a cult following and substantial fanbase, though it shrunk in later years.

Comes in several parts. I - II - III - IV - V - VI - VII - VIII - IX - X

Tropes

Character

Badass - You don't get to be top dog, or rather, top dragon, at UNTIL by slacking. This is the same dragon who operates a highly successful independent business on power armour and weapons manufacture, hoards a lot of ancient lore on magic and knows demonology intimately (having lectured before at Red Academy and was a teacher there for some time), fought at the Battle of Detroit, served UNTIL for three decades and had surgery on himself to put in his utility implant while he was awake, though he wasn't feeling a thing at the time. Suffice it to say, Snow is an absolute badass.

Badass Teacher - During his Red Academy years.

Alien Blood - His blood is a deep, purple color.

The Big Guy - Obviously.

Bipolar Disorder - Skarius was recently diagnosed with the disorder, showing shades of both hypomania, depression and most often the mixed states. He keeps his meds on him at all times, even in the field.

Anti-Hero - Downplayed, though some themes are present. Despite being a man of authority, he doesn't exactly like authoritarians due to seeing a lot of abuse in the system.

X Marks the Hero - The X-shaped scar across his cheek is, unlike many other iterations of this trope, jagged, and was the result of torture. Although an indicator of his experience, it is also an indication of what he's been through.

Our Dragons Are Different - His species has evolved into draconic humanoids as if they're a bizarre mixture between mammalian and reptilian anatomies. A big point is their lack of wings, too.

Expy - Of Image Comics' Savage Dragon, combined with Marvel's Cable and Iceman.

Buffy Speak - Lapses into this often due to his rambling tendencies.

Good Scars Evil Scars - Snow's lip scars was made to make him look even more threatening, all the more to surprise you when you personally know the guy. However, they are relatively clean cuts, as an indicator of his allegiance.

Real Men Wear Pink - Snow is not only a fanboyish bookworm, but he loves to bake. He has a particular weakness for cupcakes.

Gentle Giant - Well, he couldn't afford to be all spiteful and angry at others, because he would make enemies quickly. Plus, he is sensitive about his size, and despite his profession, he doesn't want to hurt anyone outside the line of work.

Lawful Good - Leans towards Type II, initially. He's more prone to chose the right thing over the lawful thing. However...

Chaotic Good - ...in light of recent events and character development, Skarius slowly transitioned to Chaotic Good; though able to comply with the law and work within its boundaries, he does value his freedom - making him a firm Type II in this category as well.

Knight in Sour Armour - Where to begin?

The Eternal Churchill - Quoted him in the past, too!

Cultured Badass - Comes with a man who can not only defeat an army by himself, but is a strong admirer of literature. Among his favorite works are of Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway.

Heart Broken Badass - Snow has never had a lasting relationship. The people he gets with either disappear with no explanation, or turn out to have been using him for their own ends all along. Snow's heart has been in tatters ever since he was thrown out of his own dimension. Livina has been healing this, however.

Sophisticated as Hell - Speaking of which, despite his intellectual and often literary-mannered method of speaking, in times of stress, he's prone to cluster f-bombs.

Berserk Button - Skarius has been on an enormous range of missions dedicated to freing

Stepford Smiler and Stepford Snarker - While he does it primarily out of necessity and in the case of the latter for laughs, Snow uses his nice but snarky exterior as a way of coping with his guilt and his faults.

Bunny Ears Lawyer - Despite being...well, a dragon, and showing himself to be just a little bit eccentric compared to most, Snow is adept at what he does.

Bruiser with a Soft Center - A lot of people bring out the cuddly, the gentle side of Snow. Under the scaled muscle he's a big sweetheart, and he'll deny it now and then, but it's all true. He's the same person who drove a two-handed sword almost the size of himself into the head of his archnemesis with a hand missing, and wept tears in a manly fashion at one of his friend's weddings.

Chivalrous Pervert - On duty, he shows admirable restraint. Off-duty...a very, very big tease. Quadruply so when his mating season comes around.

Large Ham - Ham-to-Ham combat will happen when he's against an enemy who yells at the top of his lungs and emphasizes everything.

Good is Not Soft - Think Paragon Shepard from Mass Effect. From the page: "Genuinely nice, caring, loving, and willing to pistol whip someone who's crossed the moral event horizon or beat down some jerkass, or help kill a complete monster in cold blood. And don't ever hurt his friends. It will probably be the last mistake you ever make."

Kendrium Woobie - He gets a parets murdered and mutilated horribly, was framed by his ex, court-martialed for something he didn't do, captured and brutalized by VIPER soldiers, watched tens of thousands of people die before his eyes to Dr. Destroyer's orbital cannon, broke down and cried after the Multifaria Incident...and yet he moves on. He doesn't let it take him down a notch. He keeps going, and going, and going.

Combat

Kevlard - Zig-zagged a little bit. While Snow's a fine balance between fat and muscle, it's more than just an indicator that he's athletic but he likes his food - it actually helps his durability.

Crazy Prepared - To a ridiculous degree. He has access to his weapons at all times. And not to mention his cryokinesis and super-strength backing him up.

Boisterous Bruiser and Genius Bruiser - Ho boy, Snow combines a lot of the Bruiser tropes. First off, he has a high IQ. Secondly, he's one of the friendliest dragons in existence, ready to share a drink with anybody who takes his fancy.

Lightning Bruiser - Being both tough, strong and quite speedy. What he does lack, however, is agility - he doesn't move a lot along the Y-axis, he's more equal to a bus that won't slow down.

Blood Knight - Although it was much more obvious in his youth, Skar still enjoys a good scrap now and then.

Fastball Special - He performs these often with smaller allies.

Heroes Prefer Swords - Snow's is about the size of a small shipping container, no less.

Military Superhero - Due to his augmentations, he's seen as a meta by both human and his own species' standards.

More Dakka - Lots and lots of it.

Walking Armory and One Man Army - Pretty self-evident. He knocked out eighty percent of a VIPER convoy - and that was when they were packing up an entire nest.

BFG - The Autocannon. Definitely.

BFS - Icebreaker.

Stout Strength - It's no surprise Snow's bulky given how his species works, but woe betide anyone who pisses him off enough.

Hyperspace Arsenal - Taken to it's logical and literal conclusion.

Foe Tossing Charge - Like has been said above, he can literally send enemies flying when he starts charging.

Shed Armor, Gain Speed - A mild example - the stealthsuit provides much less protection than his normal power armour, but it allows him a lot more mobility.

Quirks

Commanding Coolness - Oh, certainly.

Extreme Omnivore - Type 1.

Team Mom - Though Team Dad looks like it was an obvious pick for Snow in his younger days, he softens into this later on. Despite not being a woman.

Smoking is Cool - Has been known to smoke out of a pipe.

Dude, Where's My Respect? - This is all to prevalent for Snow. Outside of the United Kingdom and UNTIL, he doesn't get much of it.

Catch Phrase - "Thus Always with Tyrants" is the mantra of both Snow and Praetor Garrison.

Aliens of London - Where do you think he picked up his British accent, hmm?

Amazon Chaser - He loves a woman as strong as he is - although, he's not discriminatory and will usually go for anyone who catches his fancy.

Big Eater - He's...well, big. And eats a lot. Put two and two together.

Anything That Moves - Given the fact that Tralonians age like fine wine, mature quickly and are sexually active once they reach five hundred years, Snow quickly turned into this. He is, canonically, pansexual.

Smarter Than You Look - Let's face it - Snow is a brute. He stands at about eight feet tall and is about half as wide, he can throw a punch that sends most of its recipients to a hospital, and he's quite clearly a heavyweight. Yet his wordiness and literacy seems to have improved, rather than waned, over time, given the fact he had to learn English so he wouldn't have to translate it into Tralonian all the time.

The Quiet One - When not lapsing into sophisticated, long-winded rants or wordsmithing, Skarius falls into this. A bit more of a mild example than most, but he is a natural introvert, and is generally an advocate of "listen more, talk less". Thankfully, he can do both.

Renaissance Drake - Skarius is a natural polymath - he's lectured at Red Academy on the subject of Demonology, he's a tech manufacturer working with weapons, power armour and even robotic prosthesis such as his left hand, has several centuries - centuries of military experience, and a baker. Yet, he still makes mistakes..

Breaking the Fourth Wall - Barely had time to repair the damn thing recently.

Technobabble - Snow lapses into this if anyone tries to discuss the suit. Occasionally used as a defense mechanism when someone tries to find out its secrets, only to be blocked by a never-ending verbal wall of techno jibber-jabber.

Awesome McCoolname - Really? Really.

What Did You Expect When You Named It Skarius? - Skarius, and he's covered in several scars. Come on.

Elaborate Underground Base - Referred to by name.

Incoming Ham - Villains, please don't piss him off unless you want a bourbon-powered, scaled, eight-foot ballistic missile coming at you.

Bullying A Dragon - Taken to quite a literal degree when people make fun of him.

Superhero Sobriquets - The Seventh Exemplar, Saviour of Kizameth, The One From the North.

Mythology Gag - Believe it or not, this was unintentional.

Soundtracks

Trivia

Snow originally had wings before October 19th, 2012.
When scratched behind the frills, Snow will make a deep rumbling sound - the dragon equivalent to a cat purring.
He is a regular comic con attendee. Oh, and he pulls some ridiculous cosplays off despite being a dragon.
The main running gag of Snow's character is his weight - while he doesn't really deny it, it's pretty obvious that he's grown a little pudgier over the years. Justified, due to his subspecies' metabolism.
Snow's favourite genre of music is classical and orchestra pieces - he has been known to hum In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvarg Grief, or even the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss. 1812 Overture is one of his themes, as well.

Public Opinion

"Snowtalon? Oh yeah, he's a really cool dude. In more than one way. A great shot with his guns, and pretty damn creative with his ice powers, he's a man I'm proud to call a friend." - Armory

"Heh. Thanks, Mike. I needed that."

"{A modulated voice} I'll be honest and say that I don't know a lot about the guy's personal life, not that it matters of course. However, working with him has always proven to make a mission and its objective much easier to accomplish. My opinion is of course subject to change over the course of my time knowing him. For now, that's all you're getting. If you get this, Snow.' {puts her middle finger up}" - Anarchy

Snow cups his hand over his mouth, in imitation of Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. "You merely adopted the fake voice! I was born with it, shaped by it..."

"Snowtalon...I remember that name from the club. He be one of the folks at UNTIL who knows the OSF here on Earth, and I am so happy to know I'm not fighting them alone. He seems like a cool guy! Looking forward to meeting him again." - Slicer

"Hey, whatever it takes, Ississ system will be free of the OSF one day."'

"Snowtalon? He amuses me greatly with all that he is." - Gloom

"Oh, it's you again. You use the word 'amusing' too often."

"Snow confuses me sometimes, but he never ceases to amaze me the rest. Bein' friends with him isn't for the faint of heart: the guy's nightly routine seems to alternate between clothes shopping and shrugging off bullets. Yet he keeps going with that toothy-lil' grin of his on a daily basis regardless of circumstance, and that alone is admirable." - Slick

"You're giving me the warm fuzzies."

"Hm... Ah... Ahm... Snow is... Uhm... Adipose? I think that's the word... I hope he doesn't know what that means..." - White-Glint

"I will pluck your feathers."

"To be honest? I don't know him well..but hell, he's one of the few I haven't thought about shooting at yet, and that's a strong statement." - Cypher

"And here's me thinking you'd just go lock yourself in your room and start snorting grain salt so you keep your gravelly voice. But hey, you're not bad."

"Dude's a dragon and an agent for the United Nations Tribunal of International Law. How effing cool is that?" - Canadian Fist

"I know right? Awesome."

"Well. Handbag is a good guy, very good guy. Not going to go into details or semantics, but he can take a joke in stride...and he's good at shooting my clothes apart. So I guess he loves the view, if he comments on my body so much. Heh. I'll most likely not try to turn him into a pair of boots, or... shoes, or a vest, or matching chaps. But in all seriousness, if I needed someone to watch my back, he would be one of the few on a somewhat short list. And that, you can take to the bank. He's not going to read this. Right?" - Persephone

"Definitely not. Ooooh noooo..."'

"Going to deny the ever-living shit out of it." - Persephone

"Still know I more about him, / That has to me been told. / A dragon, wormlike monster, / Slew once the hero bold. / Then in its blood he bathed him, / Since when his skin hath been, / So horn-hard, ne'er a weapon / Can pierce it, as hath oft been seen." - An excerpt of the Song of the Nibelungen, which Snowtalon would find in his mailbox. Sender Unknown.

"...Is someone trying to seduce me, or murder me? Or both?"

"Skarius Snowtalon? Oh, the big lizard guy. Yeah, seen him around HQ. He's all right! Doesn't call me Siri, doesn't complain about mission assignments, gets the job d-- What? A pair of stilts!? Oooooh... I have access to the coffee maker, and I know the guys in IT personally, Snowtalon!" -- Serenity Carpenter

"It's big 'dragon' guy', Siri."

"He's a cool guy, one day he might just beat me in Carls~ Haha! Nah seriously, I'd love to get to know him more, he seems totally cool~" -- Strix

"Ooohooohoooh, don't get too cocky."

"He's a darlin'! Saved me from them ARGENT fellers an' took me flyin' an' all. Ah owe him so goldurn much, it ain't even funny." -- Bessie

"Hey, I can't resist helping people. It's a quirk."

"One of the friendliest dragon-people I know! It's kinda rare to meet one that won't try to use ya as a tiny snack." - Particle Man

"On second thought, you look delicious..."

"Any friend of All-Star's can't be that bad. Snowtalon is no exception. I appreciate his loyalty, sense of duty and drive. Not to mention an arsenal that has helped pull the tide of victory on more than one occasion." - Sparrowhawk

The sound of his shotgun pumping emits nearby. "No problem, hon."

"Who? Oh that dragon guy with the shit ton of artillery. Yea I remember him not too long ago. He seemed to be a bit winded up but he's good people from what I can tell. He sure as hell has enough armaments to just blast a hole into any of his problems. Need a problem solved? Trust the dragon that goes pew pew and bang bang. A true philosophy in life I'd say." - SoulStar

"Winded up? Mate, if you were kicked out of your own dimension, scarred for life at the Battle of Detroit and before all this seen shit that would make a lesser man snap? You'd have some issues, too."

"While Snowtalon might have a fierce looking appearance, tote around enough firepower to level a city block, and be armored enough that it would take a lineup of tanks to even think about denting that armor of his, deep inside he's a kind and caring dragon. I see him going far in the unstable world around us." - Razira

"D'aaawwww, quit making me blush, you."

"Hi Mr. Snowy! You are pwetty awesome and I hope you are ok when you visit your homeplace. I got cookies for you when you get back!" - Chocolate Chip Chelsea

Hanging his head, Snow gives a content sigh. "Thanks, Chelsea..."

"I think his fluff gives him a good image. Well, it makes his image easy to look at, which I have no issues with doing." - Hydro

"Hey! How many times have we talked about this, Arby?"

"Wait, dragon?! I always thought he was some kinda giant, albino, frilled neck lizard or something." - Joah

"What an astute observation! But...yeah, I agree, even I find it confusing."

"I've never met the guy, but I've seen him around. Not a fan of lizards though..."' - Stitch

"For one, I'm not a lizard. Two, the hell was the point of giving your opinion if you have no idea who I am?"

"In my dreams, I saw a red dragon fighting a white one. The white dragon, however, had a big fucking gun and proceeded to reduce my beloved England to swiss cheese. Queen save us."' - Leonard Castellar

"Isn't the red dragon Welsh and the white dragon English? Why would I be shooting my own country?!"

"I got déjà vu when I saw this guy. Couldn't explain it. Saw him and thought, 'That man must be some kinda... dragon-man!' Turns out he was just a dragon. But he sure can burninate all the bad guys. He should be called 'The Burninator' if ya ask me." - Citizen 13

"Bloody hell, really? I thought Puff the Gun Toting Dragon was bad, but now, Trogdor?"

"Heh, I love the big guy. 'E's more than willin' ta' throw me inta' battle, 'n I mean tha' literally." - Varulfr

"D'aw, Caleb. I didn't expect you to get all sentimental."

"Never met Snowtalon, Seems like a good UNTIL Agent though, Gotta meet him soon." - Skull

"Straight to the point, I s'pose?"

"A bit meatheaded until he speaks to you on non-business-related terms. Still, I forgive him for past hypocrisy. The Colonel is a smart and clever one whether he consciously realizes it or not." - Phosphene

"Flattery, I say! Flattery! Good feelings, go away..."

"Snowtalon? Oh! You mean Skarius! Oh uh... *giggle* I think he's such a wonderful and dreamy white dragon. You know I also have some dragon ancestery in me as well? But oh, that's not the point! He's such a gentledrake and it's soo cute the way he blushes the way he does! I'll... be right back, I need to call him again~..." - Livina Uaisbro

"Flattery..." Snow mutters, his scaly white cheeks tinting a shade of violet.

In late 2017, plagued by lawsuit troubles, the Coalition dissolved. A deal was made for PRIMUS to take the heat and clear members of civil suits so that individuals would not be affected... but the price was that the organization was to disband. The Coalition was dissolved, the facilities shut down, and the organization became defunct. The Orb of Eternity was disposed of, and the Citadel was destroyed in a controlled demolition. The Phoenix Complex itself was also similarly decommissioned and rebuilt into a new headquarters for Vlocke Aerospace Industries and Frost Futuretech. The Liberators parted ways, but remaining friends and wishing each other luck in their future endeavors. The Phoenix went up in ash... though because PRIMUS only ordered the current members to dissolve and never reform, and not outsider non-members, the Phoenix may one day rise again from the ashes when the ban on the team name "Liberators' expires in ten years.

-<br>
+Snowtalon started first appearing on Champions in November 2011, as a power armored snow dragon with rather incidental origins. In many ways or others, he has grown and developed into a completely new character while still maintaining his core concept. As of now, he's a multidimensional snow dragon who was convicted, thrown into a multidimensional portal to certain death and ended up on Earth. He now works with UNTIL around the globe as a lethal, scaly weapons platform capable of dumping a third world country's worth of firepower into a single location.
-[[File:Captaincolliderlogo.png|600px|center|]]
+However, Snow is not without his faults. He is a genuinely very 'human' character with identifiable weaknesses that can potentially hinder a mission or even cost him his life. However-however, this does not mean Snow is weak in any fashion. With his plethora of weaponry and his own abilities he had attained over the years, he is a battlefield terror.

+==<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">Description</div>==
-{{PriceBox
+The man, the legend, the dragon. Skarius Snowtalon is one of the most iconic of his species, hailed as a hero by the Tralonian Empire formed by the Tralonian dragons. When he was double-crossed in a lifechanging moment and sent catapulting into our own dimension, he emerged with his integrity intact. Touched by the crucible of war and with a tempered mind, in two different universes where danger lurks at every corner, Colonel Snowtalon remains stalwart and relentlessly continues to push forward against the tide of malice, showing genuine care for the people he interacts with and leaving life all the brighter with every good deed, and an inspiration to many. Read on, and learn more of this great character - one who has not only been awarded with greatness, but scarred with personal tragedy and a tendency to be hard on himself.

The process radically altered Mal, granting him the power to manipulate the very particles that make up the universe itself.

+The dragon is at peak of physical health for his species. Standing at a staggering eight feet and four feet wide and boasting a muscular frame and build, Skarius' menacing structure is the result of intense physical training he endured in both his training and during his youth. However, due to the nature of his subspecies, his physicality has a tendency to fluctuate - at times, he is muscular and flat-stomached, and at others, slightly tubbier. His natural features also come into play, having draconic features such as horns that jut from his shoulders, the tip of his tail and outwardly from the very top of his head. The frills on the sides of his head are extremely flexible and can be folded for fitting into headgear, but they also serve as his ears. His eyes, like all Tralonians, are bio-luminescent, meaning they can glow depending on mood. His military background is further supported by the massive lip scar streaking across his face. If one were to see his exposed chest, they would notice what looks like a burn scar in the shape of runic letterson his left pectoral, and a large scar running down his side. He also suffered an X-shaped scar on his cheek during torture at the hands of VIPER.

+Like all Snow Tralonians, he possesses a white-grey mane around his shoulders, upper chest, upper back and some fur on the tip of his tail, being the only sub-species capable of growing fur. Skarius' age is starting to kick in now, his frills changing colour and more of his scales a darkening blue. An interesting note is that unlike most dragons he lacks wings, causing many people to often mistake him for a lizard, which has evolved into something of a running gag. However, the true reason for this is because his species has crossbred with so many humanoid lifeforms that they themselves have taken a more humanoid form: standing on two legs, external sexual organs and most obviously, the lack of wings. However, they still keep their other draconic traits, such as the horns, the head shape, tails, retractable claws/talons and of course the hearing frills. An interesting characteristic of his species is that their muscle tissue possesses a very high magnitude of density, thereby capable of lifting a lot. As a result, they are physically more able than humans - a pre-teen Tralonian can lift a ton with little assistance.

-Born in San Francisco to renowned physicist Gerald Parton and medical doctor Regina Parton, Malcolm Franklin Parton was the middle of three children, his elder brother, Nicholas, and his yet to be born younger sister, Melinda. Born into well-educated, well-off family, Mal wanted for little and received all the love and support he needed from parents, siblings, friends and teachers growing up. From a very early age, the true value of companionship and community were instilled within him.
+==<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">UNTIL Associations</div>==
+===Project: NIDHOGG===
+NIDHOGG, named after the dragon of the ancient Norse world who gnawed at the roots of Yggdrasil, was the project that began in 1984 to establish contact and an alliance with the Tralonian dragons. From up until 2012, Skarius was the sole representative of NIDHOGG and several scientists who helped study Tralonian biology, as well as the origin of his codename.. But with the advent of the Kizameth event, several Tralonian ambassadors and scientists have began working with UNTIL, under Skarius' supervision. NIDHOGG also worked on several powered armour and weapons projects, as well as vehicles - the armour and weapons seen on Skarius himself and in Praetor Garrison, were a result of the project.
+===Praetor Garrison===
+Although a small, hundred-man unit, Praetor Garrison is one of the deadliest facets of the intricate jewel that is UNTIL. The Praetors are named after the one of the titles offered by Ancient Rome as either a magistrate, or a commander. This is the origin of their mantra; "Thus always with tyrants", and they lived true to their cry when they assisted Snowtalon in defeating the devious Tharne Darkveil. Consisting of high-tech, prototype weaponry and power armour developed by Project: NIDHOGG, these soldiers answer to Skarius' whim, operating with efficiency in the attempt of global peacekeeping. When the time calls for it, however, the Praetors are ready to do battle.
+===Nishi Yamako and Steven Mason===
+A Japanese doctor hailing from Hiroshima, Dr. Yamako is a surgeon working with both UNTIL and Mercy Hospital to treat alien and extra-dimensional lifeforms by studying their biology and taking samples. She serves as Skarius' personal doctor and has known him for a number of years. Aside from working on Project: NIDHOGG, she is also deeply interested in Project: QUICKSILVER, which instead of handling Tralonian biology, it researches the inner workings of the Akonians, and its two Earth representatives [[Wintermist|Harren Kaleon]] and Arrukhan the Black. Steven Mason is also an old friend of Skarius' who works solely on Project: QUICKSILVER, the pair of doctors beginning a new endeavor to combine modern medicine with Harren's nanites.

-Inheriting his father's natural genius, Mal showed a staggeringly high intellectual capacity very early in his childhood, especially with concern to the sciences. With his father's love of science and his mother's compassion for others, he would often spend his free time studying the world around him in the hopes that he could somehow use what little knowledge he possessed at the time to make the people in his life happier. Wherever there was a problem in his neighbouhood, a young Mal was never far behind with childlike inventions and a friendly disposition.

+===Early Life===
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"My parents always used to tell me that if you had the potential to do something, you should always do good. It's a lesson not nearly enough people learn and even fewer remember, but it's one I live by." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+[[File:Kizameth.jpg|400px|thumbnail|left|Kizameth, the floating capital city of the planet of Tralonia.]]
-It wasn't long before Mal's timidity and general lack of malice quickly earned him the scorn of his first bully, however. The older boy, eager to punish what he perceived as arrogance in the young inventor, promptly singled him out and harassed him before eventually challenging him to a fight. Astonished by the boy's aggressive behaviour, Mal hurriedly reported what had happened to his parents. It was then that his father sat him down and told him the importance of both pacifism and knowing when to resort to violence.
+Snowtalon was born in Northwestern Tralonia, October 26th, 813 BC, in the snowy regions, moving to the city of Kizameth once he was of age. Snowtalon was a gifted boy from a young age, but often ostracized by others due to his inherent introvertedness and love for literature and lack of social ability. Working mostly alone and with few friends, he pursued a career in study of the mind, specifically, that of psychology, and was closely working towards the goal of getting what is the Tralonian equivalent of a degree in that specific field.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It was my father who first taught me the concept of pacifism, but he also taught me what it meant to stand up for what's yours -- to know when there's no choice but to get your hands dirty. Violence should never be the solution to your problems, but sometimes it has to be." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+The reason for turning himself into a soldier was due to his father's untimely demise and the disappearance of both his mother and sister at the hands of a cult leader named Lord Tharne Darkveil, who served the Bleak Cult - a Qliphothic cult based around the worship of the Bleak Ones, dark gods who were planning Tralonia's demise. Tharne's bloodline had a long feud with Skarius', the two families had been at each others throats for long, mostly due to Tharne's influence. Skarius' resulting trauma is still felt today, centuries later. He dropped his more academic field after having an epiphany about the real bitterness, and the fact that other people might suffer the same fate on a far bigger scale were there not the valiant defenders to keep invaders at bay. So he became a soldier, working night and day to perfect his body into a "strongman" build, wishing to be as swift as he was strong, even if he couldn't pull agility into the mix.
-With his father's lesson weighing heavy on his mind, Mal decided to stand up to his bully and accept his challenge. Meeting him the playground after-school, Mal first offered to talk their differences out in the hopes that he could become friends with the boy. When the bully refused to accept his attempts at diplomacy, he readied himself and fought him head on. Though he was horribly outmatched and had no real chance of winning the fight, Mal#s insistence on not backing down eventually persuaded a group of older boys to stand up to the bully, scaring him away.  Battered and bruised, Mal walked away from his first fight having learnt an important lesson from the actions of the boys who had interfered to help him.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"There's always strength in numbers -- always. And so long as there are seven billion other men and women living on this planet, no one should ever have to fight alone." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+At some point in time, Skarius Snowtalon became a fabled Tralonian Battlemaster, masters of all kinds of weaponry, inherited technological giftness and each with a genius IQ - Snow possessed one that reached 170, and received intense strength augmentations Tralonians live long lifespans, lifespans of up to and past 10,000 years. However, the Tralonian Dragons often undergo trials of maturation. Tralonians essentially undergo an aging "rebirth" every thousand years, in which they undergo rites of passage. One of the most important is when one reaches around two thousand years of age, where one is given a ship and told to settle down on another planet, encouraging them to explore. The Shadow Tralonians are the biggest practitioners, given their inquisitive nature. Snow had already had his first two, given his two thousand years of ago, first going on a pilgrimage, and the second serving as a nomadic traveller. Five hundred years ago, however, Snow committed a crime only known to himself, as archives are lost now, a bitter pill he has struggled to swallow.
-Far away from his brother who favored the arts over science and his sister who simply preferred to socialise with her friends, Mal grew to become more and more enamoured with science and, before long, found himself studying one of the better high schools in the city, an honour roll student with aspirations of becoming a physicist like his father. There he met the woman who would go on to be the love of his life, fellow honour roll student Vanessa Morello. Though he was initially too shy to talk to her directly, he eventually mustered up the courage to approach her and found that they shared more common interests than he would have thought.
+As time went on, Snow became a war hero and an icon of his people, a living breathing symbol of defiance against all odds. A genetic throwback to the great pillager and warlord Tannorian Larias Snowtalon, Skarius was said to have resembled him and Snow himself aspired to become an Exemplar - the Tralonian equivalent of a saint, living or dead - which Tannorian was the fifth out of sixth. Tannorian ultimately redeemed himself when he powered The Vanquisher, a giant "gene-cannon" which was powered not only the sacrifice of someone's life, but also capable of erasing DNA from existence. The Vanquisher was used against the Lightning Tralonians, who were based around using electricity and were five to seven times stronger than the other provinces and subspecies, who attempted to take Tralonia for themselves. Tannorian, despite a controversial life, redeemed himself as thus. Snow recalls the tale of Tannorian's bravery and his last moments, the moments which redeemed him, as clear as day, as it reminds him that even the most ambiguous, not to mention the most reckless of people, can save themselves, even at the eleventh hour.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I was just a gangly, geeky kid back then. Vanessa loved me not in spite of that, but because of it." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Tharne Darkveil's Bleak Cult had grown in power within the capital city of Kizameth.  As he was slowly gaining power, he placed the Tralonian Tribunal of Militants, which was a council of governors who oversaw all Tralonian military engagements, military policies and even dealt in court cases regarding military and war crimes, under his control using a powerful Mind Sigil, given to him by an unknown outside force who had shown interest in his malicious endeavors. Slowly, as his power creep moved in, Tharne seized control of The Judicator, the judge responsible for doling out suitable punishments for those deemed war criminals, and converted him to the service of the cult. Tharne's masters deemed Snowtalon a threat, urging Darkveil to deliver a fate worse than death - to have him condemned in the eyes of the public, to have him exiled.
-Becoming fast friends and, eventually, unlikely sweethearts, Mal and Vanessa both graduated from high school and attended Arcadia City University, with Mal studying to attain multiple PhDs in physics and Vanessa doing the same with chemistry. It was during their tenure at the university that a twenty-one year old Mal eventually proposed to Vanessa, hoping that they could start a life together once their studies came to an end. Overjoyed by Mal's proposal, Vanessa enthusiastically accepted. Once they graduated from Arcadia City University with their PhDs secured, Mal and Vanessa set a date for their wedding. The ceremony was a relatively small one attended mostly by a close circle of family and friends, but it would always be remembered as the happiest moment of Mal Parton's life.
+Tharne succeeded.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"In all my years, with all my scientific breakthroughs, nothing I've done has ever felt more right than asking Vanessa to marry me and reciting my vows at that altar." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+So when the time came, Snowtalon was framed for military crimes he did not commit, and was sentenced to inter-dimensional exile by The Judicator, the evidence backed by Snowtalon's superior and ex-mate, Azala Emberstone. This stinging betrayal remained in Snowtalon's heart for years to come, even after the Reclamation of Kizameth three decades later. Snow was lucky that The Judicator was required to give him his arms, his armour and his utility belt, or he would not have come prepared in the years to come.
-While Vanessa got a job working at an up and coming industrial science company called Steel Industries, Mal secured a job working within the physics lab of Arcadia City University both as a particle physicist and a trainee lecturer. In this position, he quickly established himself as a brilliant physicist with a bright future, helping to make a number of breakthroughs in the field of particle physics and gradually making a name for himself via his own personal discoveries and theories. One such theory would go on to form the basis of his life's work and would set into course events that would drastically influence his future: the theory of the 'Power Particle'.
+===Alone in Another World===
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"The Power Particle represented all that mankind could achieve -- a future so bright it was blinding. Imagine being able to cure terminally ill patients by giving them regenerative healing factors. What if we could give construction workers super speed or super strength? What if a little girl who has been stuck in a wheelchair her entire life could stand up and fly? With the Power Particle, I believed I had unlocked the secret behind the controlled activation of superpowers -- a common link between all superpowered individuals, regardless of origin. Limitless possibilities for anyone and everyone. That was the Power Particle." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+[[File:Snowtalon_oldarmor.jpg|400px|thumbnail|right|Snowtalon, roaring at off-screen VIPER soldiers.]]
-Quickly becoming a popular name for his various theses and books on the Power Particle, it wasn't long before Mal received the support he needed to turn his theory into a reality. Approaching the bold, young physicist with an offer of his own lab stocked with resources, a team of diligent physicists at his disposal and all the money he needed to make sure he made the most of them, Olivier Martin, President and CEO of Unlimited Dynamics, enlisted Mal's brilliant mind in the search for his much vaunted Power Particle. Though Mal was originally reluctant to enter a partnership with the fast-talking, pampered businessman, he eventually saw that he truly wished to make the world a better place and agreed to work at his company, establishing a professional and personal friendship that would span throughout the following years.
+Fate decreed Snow's death would not come early. The Earth year was 1983, and a terrible winter storm had rolled in over the English countryside. By himself in on alien planet, Snowtalon did not panic. At one time, he was relieved as he had been condemned on his homeworld, now an outlaw. However, at the same time he was at loss as to where he was, and what to do. He traveled the countryside for signs of life, discovering the main inhabitants of the planet were humans. He had interacted with their kind from other dimensions before, and even in his home dimension. However, while the dragon was laying low from the inhabitants, he accidentally ran into a entourage of several soldiers belonging to the terrorist group called VIPER. He attempted to subdue them using his cryokinesis, as winter-based dragons had the ability to control cold weather and freeze water molecules in the air to create ice. Although he still had his durable armor with him, he was unprepared for the Draysha enforcer advancing on him, who shattered his left bracer with a few punches and soon knocked him out. They took interest in him because of his reptilian nature, and knowing VIPER's obsession with making reptile-themed super-soldiers, they took him to the Nest that had been hidden within a nearby mountain.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"Ollie was everything I wasn't. Where I was shy and reserved, he was outgoing and loud. Where I had worked my way to excellence, he was born into it. By all accounts, we should have hated each other. But, beneath all the bravado, Ollie was a good man. I knew that about him almost immediately." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+The VIPER scientists planned on splicing his corpse and experimenting with it, and confiscated Skarius' belt. However, little to their knowledge is that in confiscating it, the belt's remote distress signal device was activated, attracting the attention of UNTIL radar operators, their organization having a base in London. They dispatched a small strike force of experienced UNTIL agents to the location. They discovered the distress signal was coming from a VIPER nest, and so the UNTIL soldiers tore their way through the base, snakes falling left and right. They discovered the distress signal belonged to Skarius' belt, and found him locked in shackles behind an energy cell, his armor nearby. Noticing his obviously injured state, the super-team took pity on the dragon. He was released and given both the armor and his belt back, and as a result his translation program allowed him to speak English to the soldiers. The UNTIL group had him escorted back to the UNTIL headquarters in London, before promptly leaving. The dragon explained his situation to his rescuers, and asked why he had been captured by these humans. The agents noticed his lip scar, the armor and the belt, asking him if he were a soldier. The dragon replied he was once a military commander before coming to Earth at least a month ago by then, and that he was not from this dimension. However, given previous experience and that technologically advanced piece of equipment on his person, UNTIL Director Gideon H. Jones gave him a proposition - working with UNTIL as a supersoldier. Snowtalon agreed, becoming the first representative of the Tralonians on Earth. This resulted in Skarius becoming an agent for UNTIL and the beginning of Project: NIDHOGG, from where Skarius gains his codename.
-Tragedy struck unexpectedly in Mal's personal life, however. After returning home from a day at Steel Industries completely exhausted, Vanessa suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital by a panicked Mal. Once there, the couple were devastated to find out that she had somehow contracted an extremely rare disease for which there was no known cure. She was given roughly three years to live. Consumed by grief and unwilling to accept the fact that Vanessa might die, Mal single-mindedly devoted himself to unlocking the Power Particle in the hopes that he could harness its power to cure his ailing wife.
+===The Battle of Detroit===
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It was all so sudden. So meaningless. An inexplicably rare illness incurable through current medical science and I couldn't do a damn thing to stop it from poisoning her.

+[[File:Snowtalon_responder.png|300px|thumbnail|left|Snowtalon's original urban outfit, worn in the Battle of Detroit.]]
-As the months went by, Mal's attempts at unlocking the Power Particle met wall after infuriating wall as Vanessa continued to grow ill. As Mal's pursuit of the perfect 'cure' to her condition became obsessive and self-destructive, Vanessa implored him to stop his research, accept her mortality and spend what little time he had left with her. Outraged by what he saw as her willing resignation to the inevitability of mortality and irritable from a great many sleepless nights, Mal lashed out at her in anger. Ashamed of his outburst, he retreated deeper into his work and refused to see Vanessa again for fear of losing his will to finish it.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I didn't eat if I didn't have to. I didn't sleep if I didn't have to.

If I couldn't save Vanessa -- the woman who meant everything in the world to me -- then who could I save?" - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+In the next nine years, the painful year of 1992 had started. In secret, Snow was sent to Detroit to monitor super-crime activity. The dragon had been staying undercover for the last few years, so his appearance would not attract any attention - Millennium City did not lose Detroit's abundance of super-powered and diverse range of heroes. Thanks to his teaching of culture and learning from his UNTIL mentors, he could now speak English without having to use his translator. He had also developed his signature British accent.
-Mal increased his work hours and devotion to the Power Particle over the next year, even inventing a robotic assistant named QUARK to help reduce his workload. Eventually though, as if through sheer determination, his efforts bore fruit with the creation of the world's first Power Collider -- a particle accelerator that he hoped would uncover the mystery behind the Power Particle through the collision of accelerated particle rays. On the precipice of finally proving the legitimacy behind his life's work and saving Vanessa from the claws of fate, Mal wasted no time in trying to put the grand machine to practice.
+On the 22nd of July, UNTIL's suspicions proved all too right, much to their dismay. Dr. Destroyer came close to destroying Detroit using his Meteor Magnet doomsday device, but the metahuman Vanguard sacrificed himself to stop the asteroids heading for Earth. Even then, this wasn't enough to stop the mad scientist's diabolical scheme. Destroids rising up to the thousands, hired villains and mercenaries running amok, even the green-skin four-armed brute known as Grond and the metallic, robotic dinosaur referred to as Mega-Terak began demolishing and rampaging around the city. PRIMUS forces were called, as were what was left of the law enforcement. Even the eight-foot-armed-to-the-teeth dragon smacked his jaw at the enormous invasion force, knowing that a huge battle would commence. Battling his way through many Destroids and trashing up several hired mercenaries in the process, he managed to save several civilians trapped underneath rubble while at it.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I was so close. So close I could taste it. I could save Vanessa. I could save the entire world. And I was so close." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Snowtalon took to the skies with his combat gear equipped and his weapons at the ready, to strike at his big target - Mega-Terak, already under attack by several other heroes. The dragon swerved around the robotic skeletal dinosaur, pelting at it with ice shards, bullets and whatever else he could throw at it. The monster ravaged the streets, killing civilians and causing hundred thousands in property damage. It's static field, steel teeth and lightning breath proved a match for the powerful draconic hero, resulting in a tense, exhausting fight that lasted until early morning on the 23rd of July. The armored dragon had been fighting for all night, nearly out of endurance as it seemed Terak would win. However, the dragon had a sudden burst of energy, and defeating the robotic dinosaur by tearing out it's Bioinformatic Engine - ruining Terak's senses and causing it to flee.
-With his life's work finally coming to a head, Mal worked up the nerve to visit Vanessa at the hospital again. Though he attempted to mend bridges with her and excite her with the possibility of a cure, Vanessa -- who had been wounded both by his previous outburst and his lack of emotional support over the last year of her life -- did not reciprocate his enthusiasm and, instead, revealed that the doctors had shortened her life expectancy to sometime within the coming weeks. Taken aback, Mal expressed an intention to redouble his efforts, but Vanessa stated that she'd prefer it if he would abandon his frenzied pursuit to save her and simply keep her company in her final days. Though Mal wanted nothing more than to make Vanessa happy, he refused to give up so close to a breakthrough and, wracked with guilt and self-loathing, left the woman he had devoted his life to sobbing in a hospital room alone.
+Even though he won the battle he gazed off into the horizon. Soon, he could not believe his eyes as to what he saw next - Destroyer's Orbital Cannon had been activated, meaning Zerstoiten's underground base and presumably himself would have been obliterated, along with the Sentinels super-team. Knowing he would have very little time, Snow took what little chance he had and flew out of Detroit as fast as he could, feeling the heat of the incredibly powerful bombardment cannon on his toes. Once he had cleared himself from the blast zone, he fell down to his knees, looking at the ruined city. Distraught at the events and his failure, he was wracked with guilt, bringing back the stinging memory of his betrayal by his people as he returned to the UNTIL HQ in England to bring the terrible news. Despite all his efforts, he felt that he would be berated for being unable to save tens of thousands of lives. Expecting resentment, he was instead commended for his efforts in subduing many of the Destroids and Mega-Terak, to his surprise. Even though he failed, they had him on assignments around the world afterwards, despite such a tragedy.

+===<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">Current Life</div>===
-Within a week, the preparations for the initial activation of the Power Collider had been made. An gallery of esteemed scientists, interested investors, Unlimited Dynamics board members and a few representatives of the media gathered to observe history in the making. With the weight of the world on his heavy shoulders, Mal started up the Power Collider and watched with bated breath as it began to pull humanity into a new age in a brilliant flash of light.
+If anything, Snow is no relic from a past age. By 2011, Snow had become a global Agent, sent by UNTIL solo or occasionally with a team to various hotspots around the world. He has gotten to know many other colorful heroes in this time, as well as met a few enemies. No matter, the dragon was a rising star in the hero community for his efforts. His assistance in the cleanup of Westside, his involvement with Operation: Demonflame and his recent endeavors regarding the Destroid invasion, are examples of this. The project he is found working most with is Project Hermes, UNTIL's mystical force, as there has been a strange increase in magic-origin villains in the past years.

+Socially, Snow's known for having a heart of gold underneath his scaled, grizzled exterior. He's smart, considerate and generally fun to have around. Even if his activities as a soldier leave him somewhat preoccupied, crime activity from the 90's/80's has died down, so he gets more and more free time and the occasional slab of paperwork thrown his way. He can oft be spotted working out at Carl's Gym, building things in the MCPD Armory or simply taking a break at Club Caprice or Shererra's Bar. Another trait of him is his charisma. As mentioned above he's met several heroes personally, many of them having worldwide or in drastic cases, galactic fame. In the past year, it seems that the crime waves have just died down.
-Almost too suddenly to comprehend the situation, the Power Collider began to fluctuate wildly out of control, its collisions shaking the entire laboratory violently. As Mal hurried to find a solution to the problem, the audience and scientists were trapped in the lab by falling debris. Though he was initially unwilling to give up on his dreams, Mal quickly changed his mind on seeing the lives of others endangered and, in a bold act of heroism and redemption for his mistakes, he climbed to the upper level of the lab and attempted to hit the emergency shut down switch. As he slammed the button, however, the walkway he stood on gave way beneath him, sending him hurtling into the path of the Power Collider's accelerated particle beams just as it fired off one final time. As the beams collided with him on either side, Mal Parton ceased to be, exploding in a flash of blinding light and leaving only an echoing scream in his wake. As the machine shut down due to his efforts, every person in the room watched in horror as the man behind it was disintegrated before their very eyes.
+However, as of late, there have been some new stirrings in Millennium City...
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"As I fell from the walkway and into the Power Collider, as the beams of accelerated particle energy reduced me to my fine atoms, as Olivier shouted my name in despair from somewhere far away and QUARK hurried to ascertain my fate, all I could think about was how I had failed Vanessa. How I had failed everyone. And then...a blinding light...and a voice, I think. And I became...something else." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+===Home Renovating and the Annihilator Attack===
-Roughly a month later, as Olivier Martin and QUARK oversaw the clean up of what was left of the late Mal's lab, the former lingered for a moment on the deactivated Power Collider and ran a sentimental hand across its surface. As he reached a certain point, however, a jolt of electricity arced out and zapped his hand as he recoiled in pain, the Power Collider reactivated itself seemingly of its own volition. Before anyone in the room could react, however, the machine collided two accelerated particle beams and, with an explosive shockwave of light and sound, a form assembled itself out of particles within the light. As the Power Collider once again deactivated itself, the hulking form stumbled from its origin point. Though he was far more muscular and nude than he had been the day he 'died', the form was, without a doubt, the late Mal Parton.

-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It's difficult to describe the sensation of being reconstructed at a sub-atomic level. It was like every part of my being was sentient and I could see through them...hear through them. When they became one, it was like being reborn anew." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-Though Mal appeared to possess the same memories and basic physical features he had prior to falling into the Power Collider and being atomised, his body had been completely altered during the reconstruction process. Going from a lean, brown-eyed 5'11" man, he was 'reborn' a 6'4W man with extremely dense musculature and glowing blue eyes matching the hue of the Power Collider's particle beams, the sides of his hair unnaturally whitened. Dazed and confused by his recent 'reincarnation', Mal's first thoughts immediately went to Vanessa. Pulling on a lab coat and pushing past Olivier and QUARK, Mal ran out of the building and onto the streets so he could get to the hospital as quickly as possible.
+In late November and early December, 2012, Snow's recent trips to Caprice have proved to be quite interesting. While at the bar, he discovered that two Terraxeir soldiers had managed to infiltrate the club, looking for the Ben'haian Shir'ith, also known as Slicer. Though he managed to chase the two out of the club with the assistance of a wolven Cognatus member Tiria, the two grunts had been calling for "Annihilator support", referring to the large automated weapons platforms the Terraxeir deploy on high-priority targets.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I needed to see her. I needed to know she was alright. Nothing else mattered to me in that moment." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Once this incident died down, Snow got to work on building the elaborate underground base near his Penthouse. The ruins of Detroit proved to be an ideal breeding ground for building the base. Because of his involvement in the Battle of Detroit, he managed to fan out the entire base over a large area of the undercity. Humorously enough, he made an overpass over his friend Armory's own underground base, who had the same idea. He started storing his munitions here and set up a workshop in his armory. Once he was done with setting up the base, he installed the elevator system leading up to his penthouse in Downtown Millenium City, along with a hatch bay for his tank.
-As he emerged onto the streets of Arcadia, however, Mal's senses were overwhelmed by things he shouldn't have been capable of perceiving. The sounds of voices whispering and shouting from miles away boomed in his ears like loudspeakers. His vision wavered between clearly fixating on objects too distant to usually observe and seeing through solid surfaces as if they were made of glass. His nose caught whiffs of the lunch time rush in Chinatown several blocks away and the salt water of the sea on the coast of the town. In complete agony, Mal attempted to run towards the hospital to get away from it all, only to break the sound barrier and crash headfirst through a store window; and as he pushed himself up and attempted to jump back through the opening he had made, he propelled himself into the air and came crashing back down in a heap, beams of energy firing from his eyes and into the ground wildly. Whatever had happened to Mal between his being disintegrated and being reconstituted had changed him.
+On December the 8th, Snow had arrived at Caprice yet again to find Slicer at the bar. Recently, she had subdued an Terraxeir General whose corpse was delivered to the morgue at the UNTIL HQ. While chatting, the female Ben'haian noted that a Terraxeir ship may be arriving at Earth, which she knew through her contacts. After she left to go to her garage, the previously mentioned Armory arrived at Caprice, panting. He had discovered disturbing energy signals above the City Center. The dragon made his way there while Armory brought a rough prototype of his 'Demolisher' mecha to the signal, and to their dismay, a Terraxeir Annihilator literally dropped out of the sky. A massive battle near City Center park ensued between the Annihilator, Armory and Snowtalon, culminating when the Terraxeir killer robot reduced Headshot's prototype to a few scraps of metal on rocket legs. His prototype cannon blasted the robot apart, winning the battle.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It was as I lay in a crater, huddled in a ball with a crowd of bewildered citizens taking pictures and talking around me that I truly woke up to my situation. When I first came to, my concern for Vanessa overrode all logic and reason but, in all the chaos that unfolded afterwards, I finally asked myself why I was still alive and what I had become." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+In the mean time, Armory had repaired his mecha and updated it for when the OSF were to retaliate. Learning from the experience that not even the best of warriors can often taken on their bigger enemies single-handedly, Snowtalon developed a matter manipulator capable of expanding his size, height and armour.
-With his wits restored, Mal carefully made his way back to Unlimited Dynamics' HQ and requested that Olivier have scientists examine him. Further study of Mal's physiology quickly yielded rather shocking results. For all his altered looks and musculature, the most radical change to his body came at a more subatomic level: indeed, his blood, bone marrow and even saliva all radiated a unique type of energy which indicated that the very building blocks of his body themselves had been manipulated and warped to a significant degree. In his effort to create the Power Particle, Mal had seemingly become a living conduit of Power Particles. The unique subatomic particle had become bonded with his physiology on an intimate level, granting him vast powers which may have been the result of the subconscious manipulation of particles, influenced by the superiority of the Power Particle. In short, though Mal's life's work had born fruit, all known Power Particles were currently trapped within his body, unable to be used for the benefit of anyone else while simultaneously granting him tremendous power.
+===Return to Sender===
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It was some kind of ironic twist, almost. All that time spent searching for the Power Particle and I ended up trapping it inside of my own body, where it was no good to anyone. No good to Vanessa..." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Recently, Snowtalon encountered another Tralonian snow dragon who managed to evade Earth's dimensional barriers and enter the dimension. She went by the name Drozala Frostfist, who not only contacted Snow within her first week of being on Earth, but brought some very grave news - his home planet of Tralonia, the heart of the Tralonian Empire, had come under siege. A recent Qliphothic invasion occurred, and the planet's forces could not prevent the previous Emperor and Empress' demise. As a result, none other than the murderer of Snow's parents, a man Tralonia's history quickly forgot about, Tharne Darkveil assumed the role of the planet's ruler, with the assistance of his female compatriot - Azala Emberstone. Drozala's mention of the two almost sent Snowtalon into a barely contained rage. When Tharne took the throne, enormous black magic clouds obscured the atmosphere and plunged Tralonia into darkness. Now everyone lives under Tharne's brutal regime, but resistance forces fight indoctrinated Tharne loyalists across the the globe. Drozala returned to her world shortly after, and she was captured by the Tharne regime.
-Still desperate to meet his wife, Mal refused to allow Olivier's scientists to detain him for further study and insisted that his friend informed him of the time lapsed between his 'death' and 'rebirth' and the status of Vanessa's condition. Though he seemed reluctant to tell his friend the truth when he seemed so unstable, Olivier eventually relented and revealed that Vanessa had died of her illness a few days after hearing the news of Mal's supposed death, seemingly losing the will to go on after the news. Crestfallen at the fact that he had been unable to save the one person he had set out to save above all others, Mal solemnly agreed to further study of his abilities on the sole condition that he'd be allowed to visit Vanessa's grave and his parents afterwards. Olivier sympathetically agreed.
+As a result, Skarius plans to amass an attack force and return to the planet of his birth. This movement has caused him to join an organization known as Tyrian Materials Complex, of which he as been assigned to as an assistant director - the group was made by a group of subsidiaries from another, the Metahuman Agent Contract Enterprise. With MACE's inactivity, the TMC was formed, and Snow was invited to join. Just a day after the mobilization for Tralonia was ordered, Snowtalon was attacked by Slayvel, the DEMON assassin, and Erilion the Immaculate, who was an incubus bound to DEMON's employ. The attack occurred inside Snowtalon's penthouse - Snow lost the resulting scuffle and lost an artifact he was keeping in stasis - this artifact was some sort of crown-shaped object with a relation to Qliphoth, as the energy inside resembled a Qliphothic energy signature. The two assailants managed to escape through a portal before Snow could stop them.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It was like losing the will to live. Vanessa was the world to me and, because of my obsession saving her from her own  mortality, I never even got a chance to say goodbye to her. According to Olivier, I had powers beyond compare, but none of them could bring her back. So what good were they?" - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+A month later, the event that came was known as The Reclamation of Kizameth began. Snowtalon rallied most of Tyrian Materials Complex's major members, including the CEO Sharilyn Corde, and began the siege. Praetor Garrison was present for the battle in a mostly support role, as an advancing wall of defense for the Tyrian team plus Snow's Team to retreat to should things get hairy. The Tyrian Team proceeded through a slave quarry after taking a detour to the undercity and freed the slaves, slaying the Earthen Tralonian Slavemaster present, a Tharne loyalist. However, the biggest revelation in the quarry was a mysterious, veiled figure which sprinted through the quarry toting a high-tech bow. The figure revealed itself as none other than Skaria Snowtalon, Skarius' long-missing twin sister he was separated at birth with. After identifying herself, she accompanied the team to the Munitions Factory on Kizameth, to secure it from the Tharne loyalists and to subdue Azala Emberstone.
-With the study of his altered physiology complete, Mal used the data gathered to create a 'stabilisation suit' capable of both regulating his powers and preventing the small but dangerous chance that the Power Particles in his body could become super dense and explode into a black hole with excessive use. Once his stabilisation suit was finished, Mal donned it, covered it with a layer of street clothes and, with Olivier at his side, journeyed to the cemetery where Vanessa was buried. There, he encountered her parents and, after a heartfelt moment of reconnection, reconciled with them for the mistakes he had made while Vanessa was alive.
+Meanwhile, Snow's AVALANCHE tank was struck by a bolt of magic lightning from the magic storm circling overhead the city, which caused it to crash in the downtown of the floating metropolis. Assaulted by wave after wave of Tharne's Warmongers, Warrior-Servicemen, Exarchs and the like, until the assault was weathered. At the dusk of the battle they continued to move through the city and to the Internment Center. After dividing into two further separate teams, Snowtalon and his team reached The Redeemer - where Snow was once sentenced - and found his age-old foe.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"They told me she loved me, that she never truly resented me for what I did and I believed them. But it didn't change the fact that I wasn't there for her and it didn't help the guilt bearing down on me." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Having grown in power and influence thanks to his affiliation with Tharne, The Tralonian Judicator possessed a powerful Voidite crystal which was capable of shorting out Skarius' power suit, leaving his suit malfunctioning for the duration of the fight. That was not the only problem - it also shorted out his utility implant, forcing Snow to rely on only his bare armour, his fists and his cryokinesis to subdue the foe. After being assailed by wave after wave of Qliphothic Horrors, including several Nightmare Demolishers, Snow took the fight one step further and tore apart The Redeemer for good, sucking the team and half of the Internment Center into the Shining Darkness.
-After saying some final words to Vanessa and apologising for not being there for her when she most needed him, Mal broke down emotionally,convinced that he was a fool who had deluded himself into thinking he had the power to save anyone. Though Vanessa's parents assured him that he could still use his genius for good, Mal remained unconvinced and left with Olivier after recomposing himself.
+Snow and half of his team ended up finally defeating The Judicator in the Qliphoth, before returning to realspace and reuniting with the other half of Snow's team. In their efforts, they had saved four Tralonian Partisans - Tellyn, a Celestial Apothecarius, a combat medic, Kraxin, an Earthen Bombardier, explosives expert, Drozala, who relied mostly on her elemental abilities, and Dellarous, a Flame Warrior-Sergeant. Upon freeing the Tralonia militia, however, it was revealed that several Rodir priests had been taken captive. The Rodi were the people of the priestess [[Mesira]], spirits in possession of a host body. The priests were traveling pilgrims who helped the Tralonians in previous times and maintained close relations, allowing them to take pilgrimages upon the surface of Tralonia. They had helped convert Dellarous, Kraxin and Tellyn to the service of Naemaeles, Alouz and Scindixus respectively. The team eventually managed to leave the Internment Center and soon took a hike to the Munitions Factory as Praetor Garrison held off the bulk of the Tharne army, which included Erilion at the head. Skarius in particular, was finally reunited with his sister, welcoming her with a warm embrace and restoring his morale.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I'd never felt so hopeless in my entire life. For the first time since I could remember, there was no future for me. Not without her." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Azala Emberstone had been waiting for them - in the great furnaces and smelting pots of the Munitions Factory, Azala had been sitting upon a throne of steel and copper, awaiting their arrival. She had planned for them to come to her rather than for her to go after them, like Slayvel and Erilion did, and instead stayed in wait. After trudging through the factory, Azala mockingly greeted the team before something began rising from the ground - the Subjugator-model Assault Fortress, essentially a giant floating weapons platform with a grand total of eleven different weapons poking out of its metal shell. Barely managing to hold such a mechanical beast off, the leader of the Silver Lance, Silver Blast, sacrificed himself by detonating his power armoured suit within the core of the machine, which led to [[White-Glint]]'s alter-ego began to emerge thanks to the build-up of stress. A darker aspect of his personality, Nine, obliterated the suit that Snow had built for him and went on a roaring rampage through the factory, leaving [[Slicer]], Mesira, Illusionista, Gauntlet and most of the other team to go and track him down. Meanwhile, Skarius took Mesira, [[Varulfr]], what remained of the Silver Lance and Power Bunny to confront Azala, who faced her final fate at Snow's hands - a lecture on her viceful ways followed by executing her via Icebreaker.
-As Olivier's limousine made its way over the Arcadia City's Hyperion Bridge on its way to San Francisco, the sudden arrival of a group of conspicuous motorcyclists raised alarm bells for both men -- especially when they closed in on an armoured truck a few cars away. Before either of them could come to terms with what they were seeing, the motorcyclists drew firearms and opened fire on the armoured truck, hoping to stop and loot it. Caught off-guard by the daring robbery, Olivier's hit the breaks, sending the car spiralling out of control and leaving it teetering precariously on the edge of the bridge.
+After emerging outside, the Obelisk of Undying Despair, Tharne's control tower in the heart of Kizameth had power circling around it. Ordering Power Bunny and the Silver Lance to return to Praetor Garrison's aid after catching Nine, Snow flew both Varulfr and Mesira to the top of the tower to confront Tharne, once and for all. Waiting for him at the very top of the Obelisk was not just Tharne, but Slayvel as well, who had left Erilion in command of the army before returning to Tharne's side. With the Rodi priest at his side, Tharne revealed the other trick up his sleeve - he had enlisted the help of [[Mesira#Xikorai.2C_the_Fallen|Xikorai the Fallen]], a fallen archangel cast down from the Paesa pantheon for her radicalism. Before delivering a lecture of his own, a dark mirror of Snow's, he plunged all three of the heroes into their own miniature dimensions for the final confrontation.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"Olivier panicked. Heck, I definitely panicked. Then I remembered what I could do and...I wasn't afraid anymore. And I don't think I've been afraid since." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+Varulfr was brought to the lab where he was first turned into an anthropomorph, fighting against Slayvel. After being impaled by Slayvel's sword through his ribs, Varulfr pulled the sword from his body and decapitated Slayvel with but a single swing of the blade, finally ending the cutthroat assassin.
-After recovering from his initial panic, Mal mustered his courage and, with a mighty kick, booted the crushed door of the limousine off its hinges, allowing Olivier to crawl to safety. With that done, he hurriedly followed his friend out and pulled the limousine and its driver back safely onto the bridge. After ensuring that they were both fine, he looked to the high speed chase between the motorcyclists and the armoured truck, which had just crashed into a divider. Taking great care to measure his steps, Mal darted over to the scene at super speed and, just as one of the motorcyclists dismounted his bike and prepared to execute the dazed truck driver, dove between the would-be robbers and the innocent driver, the bullets of the shooter's discharged firearm ricocheting off his chest. As the shooter attempted to reload, Mal raised a hand and flicked him under his chin, sending him flying into a nearby car. As the other motorcyclists circled back around and opened fire on Mal, he rushed to meet them head on, snatching both of them off their bikes at high speed and tossing them helplessly to the floor. Much to his surprise, however, one of the motorcyclists fired off his weapon, wounding the driver of an oncoming tanker and sending the vehicle hurtling towards everyone. Buckling his legs, Mal leaped to meet the tanker and stood firmly in its path, gradually stopping its uncontrolled rampage with his bare hands. When the dust had settled and the emergency services had arrived, Mal PArton stood over three would-be robbers, stopping the wounded driver's bleeding and wearing nothing but his stabilisation suit. He had saved the day.
+Mesira was brought to a familiar scene - a recreation of The Clash within the Storm, the battle in which Xikorai and Mesira first fought. After a clash of intense magical energies, dodging sword blows and epic warrior-like poetry delivered on both ends, Mesira finally broke Xikorai's mask - her essence. As a result, Xikorai finally, well and truly, disintegrated, fading from existence itself.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"When I got my powers, I never even considered using them to save lives. I was too caught up in how the Power Particles had affected me. I needed to start thinking about how they would affect the world." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-After answering questions for the authorities, Mal and Olivier finally arrived at his parents' place in San Francisco, albeit with fewer limousine doors than they had departed with. Leaving Olivier in the limo, Mal greeted his overjoyed parents, neither of which had truly believed he was gone. After sitting down and catching up on events he had missed and Vanessa's funeral, Mal confessed to both his parents that his accident had given him some sort of powers and that he had used them earlier to save lives. However, he also professed that he had no idea what the future held for him with Vanessa gone and his research having taken a strange turn. Fortunately, both Partons had thoughts on the matter.
+Skarius was brought to one of the most important events in his life. He was transported to a recreation of the Battle of Detroit, in the ruins of the aftermath. After an enormous battle of blades, axes and sharp objects coming to blows, Skarius lost his left hand to Lord Tharne, but this did not stop him from continuing on and finally slaying the Qliphothic Cult-Leader at last. Plunging Icebreaker into Tharne's chest and shattering his illusion, Skarius delivered one final speech to Tharne before letting him fall to the surface of the Obelisk. The battle was won for Kizameth, and the magic storms lifted, allowing the ships to pass back into Tralonia. Much celebration - and a mechanical left hand - followed, including Snow and his entire team, as well as soldiers from Praetor Garrison, were enshrined in the Hall of Heroes. Snow was finally named Exemplar of Tralonia and Regent of Kizameth. However, Snow decided that he would not live a cushy life of comfort and fame in his own galaxy and left for Earth once again, with his allies. As of recently, he decided to leave the board of directors at TMC, joining a far more active group of do-gooders - [[The Liberators]].
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"My mother told me the future adapts and changes, it's never set in stone. She said that that was the truly wonderful thing about the future: that no matter what happens, we can always shape and reshape it. Because even the darkest path just needs a little light shone on it. And my father...my father told me, as simply as always, that if I have the potential to do anything in this world, it was my responsibility to do good. It was then that I knew my life hadn't ended with Vanessa's. That I owed it to her, to myself -- to the whole world, even -- to keep on living. To keep on doing good." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+===A Flaw in her Plan===
+Given Skarius' recent revelations of his father's death and his mother and sister's disappearance, Tharne's motivation for taking over Kizameth and several truths unraveled about his past, Snow has be unsure of what to think of himself. Recently, he had became frustrated, one part in due to his bitter past, the other due to his unsuccessful lovelife. A brief partnership with one [[Snow Leopard|Lori Talbot]] seemingly ends when she grows inactive and rarely venturing outside the magical library in which she was working. Snow became increasingly sexually frustrated as well, musing over the lack of positive energy in his life despite having saved billions of Tralonian lives and stopping the Tralonian Empire from crumbling. Thanks to the energy given to him by his frustrations, however, Skarius got to work to his power armoured suit to vent his increasing stress. This resulted in two more interesting developments: a complete overhaul of the suit, save for the armoured under-suit and chestplate, and updates to increase the amount of armour the suit actually used, as well as better connection to his cryokinetic abilities.
-Saying goodbye to his parents, Mal returned to Olivier's limo and confided in him that he wanted to start using his powers for the good of mankind while still pursuing the full potential of the Power Particle and physics in a more general sense. Though Olivier was initially reluctant, he believed that the best way to do both things was to 'come out' as a superhero, allowing him to become an identifiable public figure of inspiration while still enabling him to pursue scientific inquiry as Mal Parton. Pondering the idea, Mal argued that, with his powers being as potentially vast as they were, he wanted to ensure that there would always be accountability for his actions and that everyone knew who he was and where his allegiances stood. This would both ease public opinion of him and reduce his potentially larger-than-life presence. Ever the opportunist, Olivier suggested that Mal premiere as a corporate sponsored hero, a representative not just of Unlimited Dynamics' goal to usher in a better future, but also as a symbol of that future -- the way things could and should be. Agreeing, Mal specified that he wanted his symbol to be an atom, representing the limitless possibilities of a single individual, regardless of how small or insignificant that individual might be. By the time the limo arrived at Unlimited Dynamics' HQ, both men had agreed on just what it was they wanted to achieve with the idea and began working on perfecting it.
+As is per norm with Snow, he got back to his usual routine of tending to Westside, while UNTIL's efforts were spread out elsewhere. Hearing an explosion from a rooftop nearby, he investigates its source; the vigilante known as Revenant, or Iggara Grell, survives the explosion unscathed and shows a developing interest in the draconian UNTIL operative. After introducing herself and getting to know each other, Snowtalon discovered an anomalous plot - a bank in Millennium City Center is looted in a complicated and a meticulously planned fashion. The looped camera feeds showed that one instant the bank was full, and the next the money was mere null and void. After disassembling one of the cameras and offering its recordings to the MCPD, Skarius and Iggara, or Iggy as she preferred, traveled to the rooftop. Revenant discovered that the roof's cement was fresh, suggesting that the ceiling was breached, then cemented over afterwards. Leading him to the top floor of Mercy Hospital, Iggy proceeded to discover that the windows had been glossed in the previous week, revealing that the bank robbing masterminds were smart enough to consider Mercy Hospital's top floor being able to see them escaping through the bank roof. Deducing that someone at Mercy Hospital may have been related to the plot, the helicopter pad on the roof suggests that the money was airlifted. Iggara and Skarius soon headed for the docks, where a thug related to the robbers was found and knocked unconscious for questioning later.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"If I was going to help people, I needed them to know that I was, and will always be, just a man. Not a God or some figurehead, but a man trying to use extraordinary gifts to help his fellow man. And I had a feeling that I would need to remember that myself. A public identity would keep me human; it would keep me from ever believing I was anything more. How Vanessa knew me before she died...that's how I want to be remembered." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+The plot seemed to have stopped there - no further traces. The whole robbery stops after the investigation at Mercy. Skarius visited Iggara several days later in her home, to find several thugs breaking and entering. While the thugs are easily subdued, albeit somewhat painfully, Grell went back to her normal routine. Snow, believing something was up, began to suspect Iggara of taking the money herself. The problem in Snowtalon's bout of paranoia was, that Iggara was a mastermind - no way she would have hidden the money in her downtrodden abode in Westside. Snow soon figured out the flaw in her plan to rob the bank - the fact that she might just see Snow as a friend, rather than the cover for the robbery. Believing nobody would suspect her if she was hiding behind someone as authoritative as Snowtalon, she executed her plan flawlessly - the inside men to act as the guards, the bodies dumped into the river, and the fall-guy to take the bullet at the docks. The plan stopped, however, at an X stamped on the map she showed him - where Iggy and Snow first met. After her confession that she did mastermind the stealing of the money, Skarius decided that she would redeem herself by helping him take the money back. Snow passed on several donations to the bank in City Center that was robbed, covering her trail. Iggara then confessed the reason she stole the bank money - the man known as Tobias Briar, an ex-UNTIL member who threatened to poison the water supply of Detroit, had been selling her the synthetic medicene she needed to survive - at extortionist prices. Hiding out in a secret base in Canada, he had sold himself out to VIPER. About a day later of searching through the Canadian wilderness, Briar was tracked down and killed, treated with no mercy by Iggara. From the wounds she'd sustained, she went out cold afterwards, but not before downloading the information needed to replicate the medicine. She was safe.
-Using Unlimited Dynamics' test grounds to train and explore the potential of his powers, Mal developed his already known powers of super strength, durability, speed and sense while picking up others such as his various energy and radiation blasts and particle vision along the way. At the same time, QUARK worked on developing a more streamlined, mobile stabilisation suit and Olivier began to figure out how to 'sell' the would-be superhero. After months of preparation, all three parties came together with their progress and, together, they gave birth to a new breed of superhero.

Skarius, however, had to use his matter manipulator in order to fight him, and became mentally and physically drained - falling unconscious post-fight, not helped by the fact he had sustained a large piece of debris from the Interceptor jet he was piloting beforehand.
+===Past===
+*Crash-landed with [[The Liberators]] on an island off the coast of China in search for their superteam leader Anthony "[[Swift]]" Griffins and his wife, Raelin. The team is successful in retrieving both, but tensions rise with the nearby Manimal village. Following the discovery of munitions and armoured vehicles in the abandoned supervillain base which has been holding up an electro-magnetic field (thus preventing anything electronic inside, naturally Snow's suit meant he never lost power), the village is attacked by a splinter faction of Manimals. They are stopped, and Skarius calls for the UNTIL Superjet to come and pick the rest of the team members away.
+*The Reclamation of Kizameth is won, with Skarius' liberation force emerging victorious at the cost of the life of Silver Blast and Snow's left hand. Tharne Darkveil, Xikorai the Fallen, Azala Emberstone and Slayvel are all eliminated, with Erilion the Immaculate's escape a notable exception. However, Xikorai's involvement means a more sinister presence is stirring...
+*Promoted to Commander, becoming the head of a new fighting force. Snowtalon now leads and personally directs his own missions rather than being sent on ones of another's choice - for this explicit purpose, he has been offer his personal garrison, courtesy of the best in UNTIL - Praetor Garrison.
+*Attended the first SUMMIT of 2013.
+*Engaged in a battle in Millenium City Downtown with the Eternal Demise cultist Zeph, and subdued him.
+*Defended the UNTIL Sky Command Carrier from destruction with an entourage of heroes from the Destroid invasion. Successfully destroyed the Mega-Destroid on the deck of the carrier.
+*Memory cores proved correct. Snowtalon, along with almost every other hero present in Millenium City at the time, destroyed six Mega-Destroids who attacked the Champions HQ. Even the Champions themselves came to aid, along with Nighthawk.
+*Successfully defeated a scouting force of Destroids with heroes Sergeant Kodiak, Veronica "Vivi" Arky, Wildeye and Nightstrike. Recovered memory cores for coordinates of a possible future attack.
+*Prevented a large force of ARGENT workers from recovering Questionite deposits.
+*Lead a team of heroes consisting of Bronx, Sparx and Mindscape to foil a Roin'Esh plot to steal an artifact from Force Station Steelhead. Communications were also restored.
+*Disrupted the timeline during the Vibora Bay apocalypse. As a result, an alternate timeline, separate from ours, was created where Therakiel succeeded in bringing about the end of the world.
+*Ventured to the world of Multifaria with the help of Cnidarico and Riou Hotaru. Defeated Shadow Destroyer. Unfortunately, the true Doctor Destroyer was freed, and soon escaped. The Resistance overthrowed Shadow D's remaining New Harmon police forces.
+*Escaped from the collapsing Shining Darkness and the demise of the Kings of Edom during the Aftershock incident, with a large number of UNTIL soldiers, Major Fulani Okonkwo, and four other heroes.
+*Defeated Teleiosaurus, Teleios and a small army of VIPER soldiers, (including the ranks of Redstone, VIPER-X and Ripper)on Monster Island. Also defeated White Rhino and Phillipe Moreau in a raid on Moreau's lab, with the help of heroes Riou Hotaru, Armory, Heat Screech, and Anarchy. Later, hunted down Teleiosaurus permanently.
+*Defeated Luther Black in Operation: Demonflame. His ascension was thus prevented, and DEMON subsequently fell apart. Some members banded together, others retreated to Qliphothic Caves.
+*Uncovered VIPER's plans to use the Serpent Lantern for their own means - banished Viperia and stopped the terrorists from succeeding.
-In the next few weeks, the annual Arcadia City Science Expo was staged at the Wonderdome. It was here that Mal would make his debut after much preparation. As Unlimited Dynamics took the stage, so too did their new star player. In a star-studded introduction heralded by music and fireworks, Mal Parton revealed to the entire world that he was not only alive and well, but better than ever. Swooping in from on high with a flowing cape and glowing eyes, Mal premiered as the unstoppable Man of the Millennium, the Mighty Man of Molecules: Captain Collider.
+===Trophy Cabinet===
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"Personally, I do like the name. Dr. Collider sounds kind of self-gratifying, when you think about it. Also, a little evil." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+The items in a cabinet present in his penthouse are:
-In the coming months, Captain Collider went on to prove himself a hero worthy of his grandiose introduction. Flying high over Arcadia City, he devoted himself body and mind not only to fighting the various super criminals plaguing his home, but also to everyday criminals such as muggers, burglars and crime bosses. In addition, Captain Collider also contributed his powers and skill set to helping to further scientific inquiry both as his heroic alter-ego and as Mal Parton, promoting ideals of progress forward thinking, not violence. He has created a dome on the uppermost level of Unlmited Dynamics' HQ which serves as his base of operations and regularly allows civilians to approach him there with individual problems when not out on patrol or on some parallel world.
+*Ripped and torn Roin'Esh cape spad with spaulder. After Whiteout, almost nothing catches our draconic hero off-guard.
+*A scythe blade used by a Qliphothic horror. He pulled it off the arm of one of the horrors during the Demonflame op.
+*Baron Cimitiere's hat. He has good style, but the accent is appalling.
+*Destroid leg. A painful reminder from Detroit.
+*The OSF Annihilator's head. There are wires leading into it's head and it's connected to his generator. It can still talk.
+*A New Harmon Police helmet. Scratched and burnt, this trophy was taken after defeating Shadow Destroyer.
+*Discarded VIPER Emblem. Snatched one of these after the Serpent Lantern.
+*The Teleiosaurus' skull. Alas, poor Yorick...
+*A DEMON wand. Collected from the "Aftershock" incident after the caves.
+*Snow's robotic arm he had before having his organic one regrown. With science.
+*[[Armory]]'s revolver that was given to Snow for Christmas. Such a beautiful thing.
+*The shattered breastplate of Tharne Darkveil, pillaged from his corpse at the end of the Reclamation.

+[[File:Snowtalon pimpin'.jpg|300px|thumbnail|Skarius with his dual revolvers.|right]]
-Now twenty-nine years old, but seemingly immune to the effects of aging, Mal Parton has been Captain Collider for just over three years. In that time, he has encountered and thwarted a number of supervillains, cosmic entities, interdimensional conquerors and even time travellers to tirelessly push the boundaries of science and heroism as best he can. He has built a reputation for himself in Arcadia City to the point where an entire section of the Wonderdome has been dedicated to the science behind his powers. Still, as the mystery behind the true origin of Power Particles begins to become clearer, the future impact of their discovery and Captain Collider's ultimate effect on all humanity become increasingly more dubious. Can one man completely change the future, even if he is a super man? And if so, what can he do to make that future one worth fighting for?
+*'''Technological Prodigy:''' Skarius is highly adept with several forms of technology. This technological prowess has remained in his family's bloodlines for millenia, and thus, Snow's prowess in creating or repairing tech is legendary.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"A lot of people think I wear an atom on my chest because of my powers and their source, but that's not why. The atom, so small and insignificant at a glance, holds within itself unlimited potential. For growth, for change, for progress -- for the future. And when all those little particles come together, they're capable of creating anything and everything. To some my emblem is just a form of identification: to me, it's a philosophy." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+*'''Exceptional Combatant:''' His combat ability is staggering. The training he has endured has honed his marksmanship to impeccable levels, both with external weaponry and his cryokinesis. Coupled with hand-to-hand combat training, he wields not just the very temperature and guns from a pocket dimension, but his own fists, as lethal weaponry.
-='''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #002f63">Powers</div>'''''=
+*'''Augmented Strength:''' Snowtalon received powerful cybernetic augmentations when he became a Battlemaster. Whereas the strongest non-augmented Tralonian ever recorded in history could lift ten tons, Skarius can lift a total of twenty-five metric tons, bench-pressing cars with ease.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"Well, I don't really like to throw mine around..." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
+*'''Inhuman Durability''': Although it's certainly not fireproof, Snow's tough hide is capable of repelling smalls arms fire. Against larger calibers they'll have some trouble trying to get through the scales - against smaller ones, and they will literally flatten against his flesh. He wears his suit for more practical reasons - that, and he gets sent on all the dangerous missions, where an enemy will have certainly more high-grade weapons.
-==Particle Manipulation==
+*'''Combat Discipline''': Skarius often needs to find himself immersed in one style of battle in order to awaken some of his most powerful abilities - this can result in him using highly powerful power-armour mounted weapons, raging icestorms, and controlled, powerful blows with his two-handed greatsword all in quick succession the more enemies he faces. His focus is nearly impossible to break - an literally ice-cold combatant.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"Particles are the building blocks of all creation. They make up everything we understand to be real and, more than likely, everything we suppose to be real too. And through the manipulation of those particles, I can do a lot of good or a lot of bad. Don't worry -- I'll stick to the former." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-As a result of the '''Power Collider''' deconstructing his body and reconstructing it with an infusion of '''Power Particles''' in his molecular structure, Captain Collider is c'''apable of manipulating particles of all kinds to various effects.''' Though the vast cosmic potential for absolute power which stems from such a potent ability is enough to give anyone a cause for concern, Captain Collider's control over the particles in his own body and the particles of those around him are severely restrained by both the human brain's comparatively small capacity compared to those of more cosmic beings and his own narrow purview of what constitutes as reality and fiction, limiters present in most human beings. As a result, '''his mastery over particles is both crude and simple.''' In addition to this weakness, '''Captain Collider also abhors the use of excessive violence and completely strays away from the use of more destructive applications of his power, rarely even exploring ones which only serve to destroy.''' This means that entire branches of his particle manipulation go completely ignored. As time passes by, however, '''Captain Collider refines his own powers through concentration and training, pushing the boundaries of his own potential to new highs.'''
+*'''Cryokinesis:''' This powers come naturally the snow dragon - being capable of freezing water atoms present in oxygen and warping its temperature to below zero, freezing it completely and allowing him to shape it. Sub-zero spears, fists coated in ice shards, or cold cages. Snow comes across as incredibly invested into these powers, showing heavy skill and practice. The way Snow uses his powers is through manipulation of forces rather than producing the ice from his body.
-'''Currently, Captain Collider is able to use his powers of particle manipulation to achieve the following sub-powers:'''
+*'''Genius IQ:''' Snowtalon was a geek from a young age, possessing an IQ of 130. As a result, he is extremely articulate, thoughtful, philosophical and creative. He is quoted as saying that his IQ is a bigger strength than his physical size, muscle, weapons and his armour.
-===Atomic Manipulation===
+==<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">Equipment</div>==
-*'''Atomic Energy Projection'''
+[[File:AVALANCHE Tank.png|300px|left|thumbnail|The AVALANCHE Tank.]]
-*'''Atomic Fists'''
-*'''Atomic Breath'''
-*'''Atomic Dissociation'''
-Perhaps the most conventionally destructive branch of Captain Collider's powers, atomic manipulation allows him to manipulate matter on an atomic level. For obvious reasons, his general influence over such a devastating power is crude and limited, only manifesting itself in the ability to project and manipulate atomic energy in a handful of ways, such as firing concentrated beams of atomic energy from his hands, capable of heating up or blowing up anything on the receiving end. The most advanced application of Collider's control over atoms is atomic dissociation, which effectively allows him to undo the atomic bonds in objects to reduce them to fine particles -- or 'atomise' them. He has never tried to use it on a living creature and doubts he ever will.
+*'''TYRANT/SLAYER Powered Battlesuit:''' Snowtalon's highly sophisticated battlesuit, referred to by UNTIL as the Tyrant/Slayer suit, and by Skarius, albeit affectionately, as '''"The Can"''', is a powerful war machine of masterly-crafted engineering. The heads-up-display details Snow's life systems, shield strength and armourintegrity in addition to a priority targeting computer, which highlights targets of high importance. The utility pack on the back allows Snowtalon to intercept enemy transmissions and listen in on their recordings. The pack also carries his missile array containing six missiles arranged in two rows. The pack, as well as the feet, have jet thrusters installed to allow Snowtalon flight, exceedingly powerful in order to let the heavy dragon fly, and can greatly increase their vertical takeoff for building-scaling rocket jumps. The actual protection the suit provides is three layers Kendrium-Titanium alloy, providing substantial protection from arms fire and other hazards, coupled with Questionite shock absorber.
-===Energy Manipulation===
+*'''WRAITH Stealthsuit:''' Despite rumours questioning its existence, Skarius has, in fact, developed a stealth-focused, lightly armoured suit with various modifications. Firstly, special padding on the soles of the boots that allow even the one-ton snowdrake to move silently, and silenced machineguns installed on the shoulder and in the arms. It also comes equipped with a cloaking system that envelopes Snowtalon's entire frame with all spectrums of light, rendering him totally invisible, save for a small shimmer during movement.
-*'''Particle Vision'''
-*'''Energy Projection'''
-*'''Energy Fists'''
-*'''Energy Absorption'''
-With his mastery over energy, Captain Collider can fire concentrated beams of particle energy from his eyes, allowing him to perform delicate procedures at low intensities and melt through or explode objects at higher intensities. He can also absorb and resist most forms of energy based attacks, allowing him to improve or boost his own energy levels. The most devastating use of this power branch, however, is the ability to replicate and weaponise most forms of energy.
-===Graviton Manipulation===
+*'''Voidite:''' The enigmatic power source that runs most of Snow's technology is known as Voidite energy, originating from the Tralonian-discovered bizarre dimension known to them as The Void. It is a highly transformative element that takes multiple forms, whether it be solid, liquid, or anything beyond and in-between. An ancient eldritch energy source, Voidite is identified with many kinds of colours and hues, eldritch in origin, constantly radiating a magical signature - while Skarius cannot create any more of the energy, he does know how to incorporate its manufacture with UNTIL projects - the Gateway shuttle coils that allow their vehicles to stay above ground perpetually are a result of Project: NIDHOGG.
-*'''Gravitation Adaptation'''
-*'''Immobility'''
-Another potentially catastrophic power, Captain Collider typically utilises his limited graviton manipulation to bend graviton particles around him for easy adapatation to extreme gravitational pressures or to increase his immobility during combat for defensive purposes.
-===Ionic Manipulation===
+*'''AVALANCHE Hovertank:''' This enormous hovering tank-like gunship was built by UNTIL as a part of project to deliver vehicles to a handful of heroes in Millenium City. Snow was chosen as a particular candidate, and his tank made it's debut when defending the carrier from destruction. Its Kendrium Alloy Plating protects the tank from most conventional forms of harm, the teflon coating giving it the ability to reflect projectiles, and the tank is outfitted with anti-aircraft missiles, reconstructive nanites, a heavy cannon and an autocannon loaded with piercing rounds. The storage bay can also hold several people at once. After the story Sacred World, the AVALANCHE was retired.
-*'''Electromagnetism Manipulation'''
-**'''Electromagnetic Vision'''
-With ionic manipulation, Captain Collider is capable of exercising control over ions, which in turn gives him control over electromagnetic forces. Though he lacks a finer control over this branch of his particle manipulation, he is able to manipulate electromagnetic waves in a way which allows him to use the entire electromagnetic spectrum to enhance or otherwise influence his vision.
-===Matter Manipulation===
+*'''Matter Manipulator:''' A device constructed for fighting larger threats, upon activation, takes control of an object's mass in a small field, causing a shift in weight and in height. This allows Skarius to reach a total of twenty feet in height, ideal for taking out larger foes - however, it comes with two major drawbacks. Firstly, the field only affects the things Snow is currently wearing on him, meaning he cannot shift weapons, and even if he could he cannot create larger ammunition for firearms. Secondly, the device puts an immense strain on Skarius' body, draining him mentally and physically - leaving him unable to do much afterwards.
-*'''Density Manipulation'''
-**'''Super Strength'''
-**'''Invulnerability'''
-**'''Super Breath'''
-**'''Enhanced Lung Capacity'''
-*'''Self-Sustenance'''
-A very intricate branch of his particle manipulation, Captain Collider generally admires the vast potential of matter manipulation. With it, he can alter his density to vastly increase his strength, durability and lung capacity. He can also survive without the need to eat, drink or sleep, which definitely helps with his workload.
-===Molecular Manipulation===
+*'''Handheld Firearms:''' Possessing an extraordinary amount of weaponry, Skarius carries with him his favourite weapons - an autocannon that can be attached to his left arm and wielded onboard his suit, a pair of revolvers that can convert themselves into wrist-mounted cannons on his suit, and a four-barreled shotgun that can be mounted atop his backpack as an anti-air flak cannon.
-*'''Molecular Reconstruction'''
-Though Captain Collider only has one documented sub-power permitted by his power of molecular manipulation: the ability to reconstruct certain molecules to alter their physical structure and qualities is definitely not to be taken lightly. This power is severely limited, however, as he cannot (or, perhaps, will not) alter biological organisms and must instead settle for altering non-biological objects not too complex to manipulate.
-===Radiation Manipulation===
+*'''Icebreaker''' An age-old relic recently awakened from Snowtalon's collection, Icebreaker is a heavy blade that were recovered from a DEMON repository Snow once raided with a group of HERMES operatives. Recently he tinkered with it nd modified the sword with a power field enveloping the blade, causing it to deal heavier damage when he strikes with it. Made from a combined alloy of kendrium and steel, its density is so high that one of Snow's enormous strength can wield it - however, the sword is mainly a trophy, for now, only brought out in times of need.
-*'''Radiation Projection'''
-*'''Radiation Fists'''
-*'''Radiation Generation'''
-*'''Radiation Absorption'''
-*'''Radioactive Vision'''
-Generally too dangerous to use in a non-lethal capacity, radiation manipulation is one of Captain Collider's less utilised branch of powers, if not the least utilised. It's hard to be a friendly neigbourhood superhero when you're throwing around dangerous blasts of radioactive energy, after all. Still, being able to replicate, generate, project, emit and absorb different kinds of radiation has its applications in the field and in the lab.
-===Photon Manipulation===
+*'''Utility Implant:''' A highly advanced cybernetic augmentation allows Snow to access his apparel, weaponry, ammo types and armor straight from a pocket dimension the implant is linked to. It also uplinks with the suit to provide him with an ammunition counter, Originally, Snow used a device attached around his waist like a belt to perform these functions before performing this procedure. It allows him access to various databases, the Champions Response and Protect channel and other commlines, as well as various programs such as text allowing for holopad typing. The belt was since given to the UNTIL-employed hero Armory. Most ubiquitous is these "upgrades" is his '''Riftpocket''', which allows him to store objects up to the size of his own body.
-*'''Flight'''
-*'''Super Speed'''
-**'''Enhanced Reflexes'''
-By bending the photon particles surrounding his body, Captain Collider is able to fly or run at the speed of light. He does, however, prefer to move much slower as his reflexes, while enhanced, are nowhere near as fast as an average speedster's. He usually settles for supersonic speeds or lower when in an urban or otherwise busy environment, save for the occasional short burst of speed. While not the most offensive or defensive of his abilities, it can't be argued that photon manipulation has its utility purposes.
-===Positron and Electron Manipulation===
+*'''Holographic Disguise:''' Snow is in possession of a small device attached to his left forearm that allows him to switch between his normal self and his more subtle human disguise. A few traits are shared between the real Snow and human Snow - such as the amber eyes and the pale skin.
-*'''Telescopic Vision'''
-*'''Microscopic Vision'''
-Another infrequently used power branch, Captain Collider can manipulate positrons and electrons with a thought. He only seems to use it to enhance the range of his vision, however.
-===Subatomic Particle Manipulation===
+===Ammo Types===
-*'''Decelerated Aging'''
-*'''Healing Factor'''
-*'''Enhanced Senses'''
-**'''Enhanced Hearing'''
-**'''Enhanced Smell'''
-**'''Enhanced Taste'''
-**'''Enhanced Balance'''
-His most complex branch of particle manipulation, Captain Collider still doesn't really seem to have any fine control over subatomic particles. Its only effects on his powers are strictly secondary and subconscious, greatly slowing his aging process, speeding up his body's healing abilities and enhancing some of his senses to superhuman levels.
-='''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #002f63">Equipment</div>'''''=
+The ammo types used in his various weapons are of his own manufacture, though the schematics and even the actual rounds themselves are available for sale.

-==Collider Stabilisation Suit==
+*'''Standard Brass Casing Rounds''': Used in different levels of caliber for his revolvers and autocannon.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"It's what holds me together, and that -matters-. Hm-hm. Uh...sorry, that was a joke. I was -positive- it'd get a better -reaction-. No? Tough crowd." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-When Captain Collider's power of particle manipulation first began to manifest itself, it did so in dangerously erratic and unwieldy ways. Realising the dangers of having such little control over such devastating power and theorising that, '''if he ever completely lost control over the Power Particles flowing through him, he could wind up combusting into a large black hole,''' Captain Collider constructed the '''Collider Stabilisation Suit.''' Made out of a patented energy and radiation channeling nanoweave material called '''Invinciweave,''' the Collider Stabilisation Suit is capable of both '''containing Captain Collider's fluctuating power levels and offering resistance to all manner of radiation and other destructive elements, making its exceedingly difficult to penetrate or tear while remaining flexible and skintight enough to be worn comfortably.'''
+*'''Pulson''': Non-lethal ammunition. Delivers disorienting charges towards the enemy, usually knocking them out cold under enough fire.
-In addition to the Invinciweave bodysuit, the stabilisation suit is also outfitted with a '''number of focusing devices''' which allow the hero to better control and concentrate his particle manipulation. Crafted out of a '''kendrium alloy designed to make them both durable and adept at funneling otherwise unstable energies,''' the stabilisation suit's ''' bracers and boots can better channel and control Captain Collider's powers while also acting as power limiters.''' '''The belt -- crafted from the same material -- acts as the essential element in monitoring the Power Particles in Captain Collider's molecular structure, keeping him structurally sound and giving him fine control over all aspects of his particle manipulation.''' Finally, the '''headpiece acts as an amplifier and modulator for the neurological link between Captain Collider's powers and his mind, better allowing him to 'will' himself to use his powers in more refined ways.'''
+*'''"Lighters"''': Plasma rounds. These particular kind of rounds can recharge on their own, meaning Snow won't run out of ammo when these rounds are in. They can also inflict plasma burning on enemies.
-Primary functions aside, the suit is also '''outfitted with life support systems''' which allow Captain Collider to '''operate in the vacuum of space, underwater and in other dangerous conditions unabated,''' is interlaced with adaptive nanofibres which allow him to '''change its colours''' at the push of a button and has an '''in-built computer''' which lets him '''log data and perform a wide variety of minor tasks while out and about,''' including '''communicating with QUARK,''' the friendly robot designed by Captain Collider himself.
+*'''"Nanites"''': Nanobot rounds are used to "eat" power, and can easily shut down machinery and electronics.
-When Captain Collider first opted to become a costumed superhero, the prototype stabilisation suit was revised and redesigned by Unlimited Dynamics' PR and marketing departments to make it more 'heroic' and 'friendly'. After adding a less drab colour scheme, a bright cape and an atom as a chest emblem, the suit changed from an impersonal containment suit to the costume Collider wears into battle every day and -- '''though it has been tweaked or upgraded one or twice along the way''' -- it has remained a constant reminder of the hero's roots and the importance of being responsible with the power he has.
+*'''"Magemasters"''': Eldritch rounds, enchanted with the capability to punch through all but the strongest of magical defenses and wards.
-When not operating as a superhero, Captain Collider usually uses his '''molecular reconstruction to transmute the suit into his regular clothes.''' This process happens within the blink of an eye and, to most anyone watching, it would '''appear as if a giant atom is engulfing the glowing form of Mal Parton and, in a burst of light, transforming him into Captain Collider.'''
+*'''"Holepunchers"''': Questionite-tipped or Kendrium-tipped rounds, which are capable of punching through almost any kind of armor. Used quite rarely in comparison to other bullets, given their metals' worth.
-----
-==QUARK==
+*'''"Blasters"''': Explosive rounds. They explode (duh) upon contact, and tend to be used in the autocannon.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I made QUARK to be my assistant, but I'm glad to say he became much more than that. I don't want to think about where I'd be without him." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-While attempting to prove the existence of the Power Particle and harness its potential, Mal Parton decided to decrease his workload and expedite the process by inventing a multipurpose robotic assistant. '''Resembling a particle in design, the diminutive robot, QUARK,''' was made to maximise its mobility in the lab and in the field, forgoing traditional bipedal movement in favour of levitation and flight through the use of '''gravitational electromagnetic propulsion, whgich is capable of matching Captain Collider's cruising flight/run speed and his usual maximum speed when pushed.''' Built with a '''learning artificial intelligence, QUARK possesses the intuitive mind and personality of a human with the processing potential of an advanced robot.''' In order to make his robotic assistant more friendly and endearing, Mal also gave QUARK a ''''voicebox' which allows him to simulate human speech patterns to create his own voice and identity.''' He also gave QUARK the ability to '''express its simulated emotional states through the use of emoticons, which are projected on the screen it uses for a 'face'.''' In place of hands, QUARK utilises '''concentrated tractor beam projectors mounted on either side of its spherical body,''' allowing it to manipulate several objects at once through the use of multiple beams. For durability, his '''outer plating is constructed out of a titanium alloy, making him resistant to harm, but not to a significant degree.'''
-Apart from its various outer features, QUARK also possesses a number of secondary features implanted to better serve Mal during his day to day work. As well as using its 'face' to communicate, QUARK can '''present information on it like a computer or a television and can even act as a two way video communication device.''' Its tractor beam projectors can be used to '''project force fields and fire defensive stun blasts,''' equivalent in strength to your average taser but also '''capable of being adjusted for added power or to charge something with electricity.''' Additionally, a number of '''useful tools are stored within QUARK's body''' to be used by the robot itself or anyone who so chooses to take advantage of its services. QUARK is also '''capable of tapping into various radio frequencies and remotely interfacing with technological devices of various shapes and sizes, manipulating tehm or accessing their information.''' A '''universal translator''' allows him to '''interpret any known language of human or alien origin and seamlessly translate it with a very small margin of error.''' An '''omni-scanner''' built into its top half can be used to '''scan any number of substances, organisms or energy forms to identify or further analyse them using the robot's wide database of information''' and has, in more recent times, been outfitted with '''enhanced vision settings''' to match Captain Collider's. For added analysis or storage purposes, a '''retractable draw''' can also be used. For additional storage of foreign objects, QUARK has a limited amount of space set aside as a '''storage compartment in its back.''' This compartment is usually '''used to store any of Captain Collider's mission specific equipment or a spare stabilisation suit.''' Running on '''a long-lasting, rechargeable power source, QUARK gains power from solar and electrical energy,''' which can easily be provided by sunlight or Captain Collider.
+*'''"Snoozers''': Tranquilizer rounds. Self-explanatory.
-Since donning his cape and becoming a hero, Captain Collider has found QUARK to be an '''invaluable ally''' and has a habit of using him as a ''''sidekick',''' albeit in a '''support capacity.''' Though the robot isn't much use in a fight, he has used what few offensive measures he has to save Captain Collider's life on more than one occasion. With its somewhat '''timid and unadventurous personality,''' however, QUARK isn't too fond of having to risk his 'life' doing so and is always ready to voice his apprehension towards Captain Collider's dangerous lifestyle.
+*'''"Sparkplugs"''': Electrically charged rounds. Delivers a powerful shock to enemies, but is capable of short-circuiting machinery.

-==The Power Collider==
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"The Power Collider. Both my greatest creation and my most devastating failure. Only time will tell if it will spell disaster or salvation for the world but, no matter what happens, it will always be my greatest responsibility." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-'''Created for the purpose of discovering the Power Particle through the collision of other accelerated particles,''' the Power Collider was expected to c'''hange the very foundations of human existence for the better by allowing for superpowers to be reliably bestowed upon any given subject with an almost imperceptible margin of error.''' After Mal Parton activated the Power Collider for the first time, however, a '''spontaneous act of self-sacrifice combined with an unknown variable to cause an unexpected turn of events.''' Though the variable allowed the Power Collider to work on that particular occasion, '''Mal was bombarded by its accelerated particle beams.''' Torn apart and reconstructed on a subatomic level, he became '''infused with stable Power Particles and gained extraordinary powers over particles both internal and external.''' With these powers he became '''Captain Collider, the Man of the Millennium and a shining example of mankind's bright future and unlimited potential.'''
-Though he '''tried to replicate the extraneous, unforeseen variable''' that led to the successful creation of Power Particles many times following his accident, '''Mal has yet to succeed in doing so and limits himself out of a fear that his experiments may do more harm than good.''' Nevertheless, the Power Collider remains situated in the very centre of Captain Collider's headquarters, the '''Tower of Power''', and plays a '''vital role both in the present and, as Captain Collider is beginning to discover, in the future.''' As more and more metahumans imbued with stable and unstable Power Particles continue to surface and denizens from other worlds, realities and timelines make appearances in our own, '''the question of whether the Power Collider and the discovery of the Power Particle ushers in mankind's ascension or damnation begins to weigh more heavily on Captain Collider's mind and the events unfolding around him.'''
+*'''"Devastators"''': Thermobaric rounds. Thermobarics are of devastating (hence their name) destructive capacity, capable of delivering an explosion of longer duration than the Blaster model. Snow uses these only on particularly powerful threats, otherwise risking serious collateral damage.
-----
-'''Nullymer Cape:''' Captain Collider's cape is made out of the experimental hyper-durable polymer known as Nullymer, created by Mal Parton himself. Through the use of a unique and subtle vibrational frequency constantly resonating through its atomic bonds, Nullymer is able to 'negate' most harmful substances and elements to a significant degree, making it ideal for protecting its wearer from all manner of harm. By using his Nullymer cape, Captain Collider can protect himself and others from danger, smother fires and other destructive forces, cloak himself from certain means of detection and, in a pinch, weaponise it against his enemies as an expanding net, though Captain Collider has always believed that particular function to be a bit ridiculous.
-----
-'''Consortium Power Suit:''' Procured from a member of the Collider Consortium during their invasion of Arcadia City, the Consortium Power Suit is a suit of future technology infused with Power Particles to the degree that the wearer is able to mimic the powers of Captain Collider himself to a lesser degree. Unable to operate for too long without losing its energy, the power suit can only be used for a maximum of twenty-four hours before it requires a 'rest period' to recharge itself. Realising the danger of the power suit, the implications it may have on his research into Power Particles and its negative impact on the future, Captain Collider regularly studies it in the hopes that he will one day be able to use it to prevent a future where the Collider Consortium exists.
-----
-'''The Parton Portal:''' An interdimensional portal generator created by Mal Parton for the purpose of branching out to other dimensions in search of perfected Power Particles, the Parton Portal was an unmitigated disaster as, on its very first run, it opened a gateway to a dimension of endless war and destruction known only as Point Z. From Point Z, the Antimatron arrived in our world and may have destroyed a large part of it if not for Captain Collider righting his wrongs. Though he vowed never to utilise the Parton Portal again, Captain Collider was forced to use it to trap a rampaging Captain Chernobyl where he could do no harm, sequestered in a universe already ravaged by ceaseless chaos. Although Captain Collider abhors his creation with every fibre of his being, he cannot bring himself to destroy it once and for all if only because of its utility in disposing of threats with power far exceeding his own.

+*'''"Shinies"''': Silver rounds. Particularly useful for dealing with supernatural threats such as werewolves.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"I'm very good at integral and differential calculus; I know the scientific names of beings animalculous~" - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-'''Super-Genius Level Intellect:''' Endowed with an IQ of 300, Captain Collider possesses a super-genius level of intelligence and a brilliant scientific mind. With his level of intelligence, Collider has ready access to an eidetic memory, a high capacity for academic progression and the uncanny ability to think faster and on a higher level of reasoning than most people, which makes him well-suited to the mental toll of exercising his powers. Truly, his mind is the most valuable asset.
+*'''"Exorcists"''': Rounds engraved with wards. Mainly used for fighting zombies, ghosts and spirits.
-----
-'''Brilliant Physicist:''' With multiple PhDs in particle physics, mechanical engineering, robotics, quantum mechanics and metahuman science, as well as bits of knowledge from other branches of physics picked up throughout his career, Captain Collider's highly-trained scientific mind is only the result of a natural affinity for scientific pursuits. His vast knowledge of physics is also regularly applied to his crimefighting and the use of his powers.
-----
-'''Expert Chemist and Biologist:''' Though not as adept in either of these subjects as he is in physics, Captain Collider's knowledge of chemistry and biology is nothing to be sniffed at and he's usually able to put it to good use. Of particular note is his moderate level of study in biochemistry, genetics and xenobiology.
-----
-'''Multilingualism:''' Having used a mixture of his super speed and his eidetic memory to greatly expedite the learning process, Captain Collider has become fluent in a vast number of Earth's many languages. It would be far easier to list the number he has yet to gain some understanding of than it would be to list all the ones he can speak. He knows no alien languages yet, though he has taught himself sign language and knows how to read lips.
-='''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #002f63">Personality</div>'''''=

-'''Personable, sincere and generally upbeat, Captain Collider is a genuinely nice person inside and out. A generous, gentle soul, he only wants happiness for as many people as possible and truly wants to see the good in everybody. In his mind, altruism is the human condition and the only reasonable way to ensure mankind's progression as a species. As such, he always goes out of his way to make sure everyone is treated fairly and with a modicum of human decency, even the ones who may not deserve it.'''
+==<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">Weaknesses</div>==
+Although Skarius' status as both a natural machinist, polymath and cryo-kinetic make him a super-powered force to be reckoned with, every hero has their flaws.
-Captain Collider is loyal and trusting to his friends, merciful to his foes and polite to anyone else. This all-loving personality is reflected in his pacifistic philosophy, which he references regularly and always strives to maintain. To Captain Collider, violence in any case where violence is not strictly needed is the result of a failure by people to act as civilised creatures and, therefore, an embarrassment to human intelligence. That isn't to say he completely avoids violence, however; levelheaded and reasonable, he understands the necessity of it and rarely ever impresses his own views of non-violence on others. The one exception to this is when he perceives others as being irresponsible or selfish with their power. Responsibility and duty are very important to Captain Collider, especially in the wake of receiving his powers. He believes it is his responsibility as a person to use his powers for good and frowns upon anyone who exploits them either for the sake of evil or their own personal gain. He also can be rather outspoken about his views when confronting those he believes to be responsible for unnecessary conflict and war, including some heroes. This approach to the use of superpowers specifically stems from his own fear of causing harm to others or losing track of his humanity. With responsibility close at heart, he exercises extreme caution to make sure he never crosses any boundaries -- perhaps to a noticeable fault.
+*'''I Do Believe I'm on Fire''': Unlike many reptiles who are cold-blooded, Snowtalon is warm-blooded and does not suffer from any negative effects from warm nor cold temperatures. However, intense heat - such as fire - from natural and supernatural sources can cause his scales to burn away, leaving the flesh underneath very vulnerable to attack.
-'''A man of science, Captain Collider has a seemingly boundless curiosity when it comes to the subject and seems to approach any opportunity to expand his intellectual horizons with an adventuresome, overzealous spirit which contrasts starkly with his usual sobriety. Indeed, he has an almost unquenchable thirst for understanding how all things work, from the complexities of the universe to the mind of a supervillain. In addition, he usually confronts obstacles with the lateral mind of a scientist, preferring to take the thinking man's path to victory over any other. At times, Captain Collider can hardly stop himself at expressing awe or excitement at some of the many marvels he stumbles upon during his adventures and always seems to view things within the context of either bettering humanity or bettering scientific advancement -- though the two often go hand in hand in his mind. He holds knowledge and information in great esteem and believes that both are fundamental to any sapient species. When the stakes are high, however, Captain Collider will gladly pick mankind over science any day of the week, with only the slightest pang of remorse in some cases.'''
+*'''Houston, We've Got a Hull Breach''': While Snowtalon's armour is highly resistant to supernatural, elemental and most conventional forms of attacks, enemies possessing super-strength can affect the density of the Kendro-Titanium suit and potentially cause a breach. This can easily expose his flesh and leave him vulnerable. While the armour itself is quite resistant to anything other than super-strength or density powers, its shields are a different story. Psychic attacks - telekinetic or telepathic - are notably effective, as are magical strikes, since they can work like a sort of EMP against the suit.
-Though it's easy to get lost in Captain Collider's larger than life presence and power, the hero readily indulges in his humanity, warts and all. Still your average nerd, he can be somewhat awkward and cautious in spite of his, quite frankly, intimidating physical form. He still conducts himself with the mannerisms of a man much more accustomed to burying his head in a book than saving lives. His speech and body language can sometimes be stiff and overly overly formal and he seems to take most people -- facetious or not -- at face value, often responding seriously to subtle jabs and sarcastic remarks. Despite his modest nature, Captain Collider is sometimes prone to parading his own intelligence around, rattling off information or coming in with a pithy quote. He usually apologises for even the slightest show of arrogance, however, his modesty exceeding his intellect. His pacifism, though admirable in some ways, can occasionally border on naivete, especially when dealing with more morally grey scenarios. Indeed, he is strongly devoted to his own personal beliefs and can become indignant when they're drastically infringed upon -- especially when his good nature or the science he loves so dearly is taken advantage of. When this happens, he tosses aside his usual docility and shows a much sterner, angrier side. Behind his usual sunny disposition, the burden of Captain Collider's powers and the constant challenges to his overly optimistic worldviews constantly weigh on his soul. If not for his own great patience and strong moral fibre, he would be much more prone to outbursts. He has a great amount of respect for tradition and laws, so long as he believes they perform the intended task of serving the people and -- as a staunchly left wing person -- he isn't afraid to speak his mind when he believes the world isn't working as it should be..
+*'''Sharper Objects and Bigger Bullets''': While impervious to most blades and bullets of smaller calibre, Skarius' scales are not indestructible. Anything more than what the suit can take and anything more his own flesh can take will most certainly do him in - and possibly, permanently. The blue scales are the most armoured regions, so his white scales are particularly more vulnerable to attack.
-'''On a more personal note, Captain Collider loves people, regularly touring the world on his university lecture circuits and attending public events on behalf of Unlimited Dynamics. He has a fairly good sense of humour and rarely takes offense to the odd joke on his behalf -- though his own attempts at humour are often rather awkward and groan-inducing. Open-minded to the extreme, he's always willing to 'go with the flow' and try new things. He is a connoisseur of the arts, literature and the science of cooking, and is a published author in his own right, having written various non-fiction books on his research. His tastes in music are also surprisingly erratic, and he seems to bounce from classical to political rap to Japanese pop music with no real sense of consistency. Despite his friendliness, Captain Collider is still very much an introvert and likes to spend time alone to be with his thoughts or to just recuperate when the hustle and bustle gets to be overwhelming. In romance, he has a tendency to be traditional and the slightest bit shy, far from a womaniser or a playboy. If he develops romantic feelings for a woman, he rarely if ever makes the first move and usually tries to keep his affections to himself, having only been with one woman his entire life and not quite used to being 'attractive' yet.'''
+*'''Big Name, Big Stuff''': Snow's presence and even his physical size attracts people. Sometimes, the wrong people - his large profile, both physically and from a reputation standpoint, can attract too much attention. He's also a large target physically and will draw enemy fire to him.
-Captain Collider's Myers-Briggs personality type is ISFJ.
+*'''Broad Shoulders''': His size is both his boon and his bane. His width and height means he can not fit nor sit on and in specific places and can find it difficult to maneuver around at such a size. This size can be used against him, as smaller opponents can subdue him.
-='''''<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #002f63">Friends & Allies</div>'''''=
+*'''Hard Counters''': The "hit-and-run" type of opponent is definitely Skarius' anathema. An enemy who can deal a large amount of damage to the suit and thus Skarius himself, then maneuver fast enough to hit him over and over again while leading him on and evading his strikes is a thorn in his side.
-<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #DAA520"><div style="font-size:15px; font-family: Helvetica">''"The English metaphysical poet, John Domme, once wrote that no man is an island. I wouldn't be a sound molecular structure without those all-important bonds! ...That one was a little corny even for me." - Captain Collider''</div></div>
-===NPCs===
+*'''Should Have Solved the Power Problems''': Snowtalon's Voidite power source is magical in origin, as eldritch energy. If fortune fancies a kick in the balls, Snow's suit can be set offline with either well-timed spells or sustained magical attacks, leaving targeting benefits from his helmet and his shields non-existent.
-'''Olivier Martin:''' The president and CEO of Unlimited Dynamics, Olivier is Captain Collider's boss and his best friend. Born into money and having inherited his post from his father, he has a tendency to be somewhat spoiled and ignorant of other people but is an inherently good person beneath it all and a savvy businessman.
+*'''Deathly Ticklish''': Humorously, Snowtalon's scales are sensitive to touch, resulting in him become ticklish. This has been used against him once, much to his chagrin.
-'''Vanessa Morello:''' Captain Collider's deceased wife and and a chemist of some renown. She died of a mysterious and rare disease while Mal Parton was pursuing the Power Particle as a means of curing her, though as time passes by, he begins to suspect that her mysterious and rare disease may not have been so mysterious after all...
+==<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">Personality</div>==
+[[File:Snowtalon_suit.jpg|300px|right|thumbnail|Snow, looking snazzy.]]
-'''Gerald and Regina Parton:''' Captain Collider's parents, the Partons are loving and nurturing towards their son and are fully aware of his new superhero lifestyle. Though they worry about him, they trust him to use his intelligence and morality to make the world a better place for his being in it. Mr. Parton acts as an intellectual and philosophical mentor to their son while Mrs. Parton offers more moralistic advice.
+One would expect a creature of Snowtalon’s stature to be hostile, aggressive, and somewhat cold (pun intended), but Snow is anything but. Skarius' personality is contrary to his appearance, much to the surprise of many that first encounter him. He possesses an energetic and virtuous personality, often placing the concerns of others far above his own; even going as far as promising that he would sacrificing limb and, when the time calls for it, life, so that another may live instead. His heroic deeds and refusal to stay in the spotlight have earned the respect of his peers in the superhero community, as well as the trust of his friends. His modesty surrounding his actions show his inherent insecurity, despite his outward personality radiating confidence.
-'''Melinda Parton:''' A successful executive for Unlimited Dynamics' competitor, Steel Industries, Captain Collider's sister is ambitious and ruthless in business but very much cares for her older brother, despite their conflicting ideologies. Captain Collider worries that she may end up getting involved in the company's more shady dealings.
+However, there is a more negative aspect of him that can push others away: his job requires him to often bark orders at his soldiers and assume the worst, meaning his occasional bitterness can penetrate his out-of-combat, more level-headed attitude. He often puts a blanket of snarky remarks and sarcastic retorts to prevent his bitter side from surfacing. Strangely for a military type, Skarius has a quirky manner of talking about even the most mundane of things, something that's earned him a few raised eyebrows. He tends to have a dry sense of humor and is quite deadpan when the time calls for it. Owing to his intelligence, he is also poetic and literary-minded. However, his bitterness has been far more visible recently, resulting in him becoming particular sour about not just himself, but how he believes he is inadequate, that he's not enough to do his job. Despite his perceptions, Snowtalon is, at heart, a true hero, one who holds to his values.
-'''Nicholas Parton:''' An artist, musician, writer or whatever else catches his fancy, Captain Collider's older brother may be the 'black sheep' of the family but he is also a kind and positive person who his younger brother looks up to and regularly seeks advice from, especially following his accident. With his creative mind Nicholas frequently comes up with solutions and ideas which may have evaded Captain Collider's more logical way of thinking.
+==<div style="color:#FFFFFF; background-color: #003366">Friends and Associates</div>==
-'''QUARK:''' A diminutive robotic assistant invented by Captain Collider to help expedite some of his workload, QUARK mostly carries out more menial tasks during the scientist's research and occasionally monitors his altered physiology. He's also a rather good listener and has a tendency to help his creator with problems when no one else is around.

-'''(Created and archived by QUARK)'''
+Caleb and Skarius were old friends in M.A.C.E. and continue to be so in the Liberators. The fondness between each other stemmed from the constant banter heard between the two during missions, as well as the fact they make a potent combination on the battlefield. An eyewitness once recalled an [[Ardacorp]] drone being destroyed by Varulfr mid-air because Skarius had thrown him so hard through the air that he collided with it in Westside.

Gifted with potentially vast control over ice, water and heat, Frost became Lady Winter and sought to take back her jewels and wealth through less scrupulous means. Though she was thwarted by Captain Collider and divorced by her husband, Lady Winter has recently developed a dangerous mastery over her powers, a disillusionment with her own humanity and a more ambitious outlook.<br /></font>

-[[File:Collideratom.png|35px|left]] [[File:Collideratom.png|35px|right]]
+An incredibly lethal swordsman, Slayvel was a high-ranking inner circle member of DEMON who used magical powers to enhance his prowess with swordsmanship. Since the demise of Luther Black during the Aftershock incident (presumably "living on in mankind's nightmares" according to Demoiselle Nocturne), Slayvel became the de facto leader considering Jack Fool, the Left Hand and Black Shepherd were all in custody at the time. He is also immortal, capable of suffering the most painful deaths possible up and to taking an orbital bombardment to the face, because he can reconstruct himself from his atoms. The only way possible to kill him, is using his own katana.

-<font size=1px>A young and brash spectroscopist, Zachary Specter always had a mind to use his knowledge to break into the world of villainy like his late father once dreamed of. Using his father's old research with some of his own improvements and modifications, Specter invented the Colour Suit -- a suit made of solid light which enabled him to manipulate visible light, in a number of ways. With his new powers, Specter became the Living Colour and started on a one man crime spree through Arcadia City which was only cut short by Captain Collider. Nowadays, the Living Colour prefers to hire out his services, looking to make some rep and a buck any way he can -- though his immaturity often causes him to fall short of his goals.</font><br>

+He assigned the cultists to assassinating UNTIL Project: Hermes agents and collecting enchanted artifacts, one of which being the Band of Edom. However, Slayvel allowed the Band to damage his mind, turning him into a psychotic, sadistic killer, if greatly enhancing his reflexes to superhuman levels and enchanting his sword with chaotic power. Even if his undercurrent of psychological damage is now ever-more apparent, the assassin still leads his own personal harem of Fire Demons and the cultists. Slayvel initially escaped from the Westside prison and contacted by Cyberlord when he discovered the whereabouts of the Roin'Esh ship, knowing Skarius was in the immediate area. Slayvel nearly jumped at the opportunity to kill Snowtalon, being a highly trained and recognizable UNTIL agent, as well as the one who had subdued Luther Black during Operation: Demonflame. While on Cyberlord's ship, he engaged him in combat using his enchanted katana. Although he failed, he soon used a spell of teleportation and promptly disappeared from the scene.

He soon stumbled upon a device which projected beams of cosmic energy capable of 'opening' or 'locking' any given target and creating portals. His mind flooding with possibilities, Sculley reverse engineered the device into a weapon called the 'Keygun' and became the Skeleton Key. As Skeleton Key, Sculley went on to steal anything that caught his eye and was even able to 'lock' Captain Collider in another dimension once. He is something of a coward.</font><br>

+Now the katana itself is a very different story, thanks to its chaotic enchantment. It is unpredictable - it can be as blunt as a ballpoint pen and won't cut through a thing. Other times, it can slice cleanly through questionite, as Snow learned rather harshly. In his possession and what he has been lying around are artifact fragments of Qliphothic appearance. Recently, it has been stolen through the assistance of Erilion the Immaculate and by Slayvel himself, after the two managed to successfully subdue Snow.

Working closely with Slayvel and also with DEMON, Erilion first appeared in Venice, Italy. A friend of Snowtalon's, a mild amnesiac Roin'Esh by the alias of Eviscerator, pursued the very same succubus who had disguised himself amongst the populace. Erilion made his way far into the Vatican and uncovered the final piece of the crown required. Now, the only part that was needed was the crown itself - in Snowtalon's possession.

+They attacked Snowtalon in his very home and managed to escape with it, through a portal. If interdimensional in origin, the very same crown may already be in Tharne's possession. Combine this with the dark magic clouds, and Tharne is bringing all of Tralonia to be devoured by the Bleak Ones themselves. As an incubus, Erilion is a powerful demon who has claimed many lives through less-than-savory encounters. Unlike many so-called succubi or incubi inhabiting Millennium City, Erilion is the real deal. Using powerful supernatural abilities, he can call upon infernal energies, ensnare his foes in binding chains, and choke them with otherwordly, dimensional power. However, he prefers to seduce his enemies rather than fight them, truth being he is a coward.

+Yet another truth has been unraveled - Erilion was not a pawn of Darkveil but instead King Utharr, the Mad King of Tucad on the planet Rodir, [[Mesira]]'s place of origin. This reveals that Utharr and Tharne had a connection of some sort, working together, but also reveals things about the incubus.

Summoning her robotic horde through a temporal wormhole, 'Mother Superior' attempted to conquer Arcadia City, leading to a heated battle with Captain Collider which ended with her defeat. With her wormhole device destroyed she remains trapped in this time, bent on bringing about the end of human 'inferiority'.</font>

+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurDragonsAreDifferent Our Dragons Are Different] - His species has evolved into draconic humanoids as if they're a bizarre mixture between mammalian and reptilian anatomies. A big point is their lack of wings, too.
-'''Abra Kadabr-ouch:''' As with many science-based heroes, Captain Collider has little resistance against magic based attacks and is far more vulnerable to them than any other means of attack.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Expy Expy] - Of Image Comics' Savage Dragon, combined with Marvel's Cable and Iceman.
-'''Made From Concentrate:''' Captain Collider's powers are extremely difficult to control with precision and the more complex abilities require concentration to be used with any proficiency.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BuffySpeak Buffy Speak] - Lapses into this often due to his rambling tendencies.
-'''Nice Guys Finish Last:''' A genuinely nice person is rarely treated with kindness in turn, especially when facing not-so-nice people. Captain Collider cares about everyone, no matter whom and this leaves him vulnerable to those willing to exploit that considerate nature.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodScarsEvilScars Good Scars Evil Scars] - Snow's lip scars was made to make him look even more threatening, all the more to surprise you when you personally know the guy. However, they are relatively clean cuts, as an indicator of his allegiance.
-'''Plight of the Pacifist:''' Captain Collider is a textbook pacifist. He doesn't believe that violence and aggression are suitable ways to approach any problem which can just as well be solved through diplomacy and a level-head. A smart opponent can take advantage of this 'weakness', so long as they remember that even his pacifistic views have their logical limit.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RealMenWearPink Real Men Wear Pink] - Snow is not only a fanboyish bookworm, but he loves to bake. He has a particular weakness for cupcakes.
-'''Head Strong:''' In order to effectively use his powers, Captain Collider needs to understand the particles he's working with and what he's doing with them. If you cut off his knowledge or screw around with his mind enough, you can cut off his powers. A good psionic is a big weakness.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GentleGiant Gentle Giant] - Well, he couldn't afford to be all spiteful and angry at others, because he would make enemies quickly. Plus, he is sensitive about his size, and despite his profession, he doesn't want to hurt anyone outside the line of work.
-'''Tachyon Trouble:''' Perhaps because he has no control over tachyons, concentrated tachyon bursts can temporarily disorient the Power Particles in Captain Collider's system, affecting his perception of time, his age, his control over his powers, his ability to use his powers at all and even his sight in some instances. The effects of tachyons on his system are generally unpredictable, however, and hitting him with too concentrated a blast can be just as dangerous to his attacker.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LawfulGood Lawful Good] - Leans towards Type II, initially. He's more prone to chose the right thing over the lawful thing. However...
-'''Cold As Ice:''' Though it takes a lot to accomplish it, Captain Collider's molecules react like any other when cooled to a sufficient degree. If an opponent is able to freeze him completely solid it would, at the very least, take him a very long time to thaw out on his own and, at the very most, completely neutralise him. A truly prepared enemy can even completely freeze an entire room or lower its temperature to absoule zero to prevent him from reconstructing anything in it.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChaoticGood Chaotic Good] - ...in light of recent events and character development, Skarius slowly transitioned to Chaotic Good; though able to comply with the law and work within its boundaries, he does value his freedom - making him a firm Type II in this category as well.
-'''Supermen Can't Multitask:''' Though Captain Collider's particle manipulation can be used to induce a great number of effects, it is nearly impossible for the hero to use too many at once, especially the more powerful ones. For instance he is far more vulnerable to physical damage when reconstructing molecules and so on. An opponent who times their attacks right can capitalise on his vulnerabilities tremendously.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KnightInSourArmor Knight in Sour Armour] - Where to begin?
-'''As You Live And Breathe:''' Either through his own unwillingness to do so or an actual limitation of his powers, Captain Collider cannot reconstruct living organisms. While not a weakness in a traditional sense of the word, it's helpful to know which lines he won't cross.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheEternalChurchill The Eternal Churchill] - Quoted him in the past, too!
-'''Test Your Metal:''' Captain Collider is incapable of seeing through lead or questionite with any of his vision-based powers.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CulturedBadass Cultured Badass] - Comes with a man who can not only defeat an army by himself, but is a strong admirer of literature. Among his favorite works are of Mark Twain or Ernest Hemingway.
-'''Projecting Problems:''' While Captain Collider can project atomic energy, nuclear energy, fire and ice blasts and more, he is only able to channel and project one kind of energy at any given time. He is incapable of mixing and matching multiple energy types and, instead, must settle for 'switching out'.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeartBrokenBadass Heart Broken Badass] - Snow has never had a lasting relationship. The people he gets with either disappear with no explanation, or turn out to have been using him for their own ends all along. Snow's heart has been in tatters ever since he was thrown out of his own dimension. Livina has been healing this, however.
-'''Can You Hear Me Now:''' With his enhanced sense of hearing, Captain Collider is particularly susceptible to sonic based attacks and has little resistance against them.
+*[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SophisticatedAsHell Sophisticated as Hell] - Speaking of which, despite his intellectual and often literary-mannered method of speaking, in times of stress, he's prone to cluster f-bombs.

-*A student studying physics at university? Perhaps Captain Collider has given you a lecture at some point.
-*It's not unlikely that you may have seen Captain Collider attending or participating in a charity event.
-*Captain Collider has published a number of books about the Power Particle and other key topics of physics in his long-spanning career as a physicist. Interested in the subject? Maybe you've read one.

-*If I had to pick a voice actor for Captain Collider it would definitely be LeVar Burton
-*Captain Collider has written a number of books on particle physics including his best-seller, 'The Power Particle'.
-*Captain Collider regularly gives lectures on physics at various universities and finds teaching to be one of the greatest joys in life.
-*Captain Collider makes frequent use of a swear jar. If he's lucky, he usually ends up with an average of $3 a year.
-*When Captain Collider's costume was first designed it had a red and black colour scheme. After wearing it once he quickly informed the designers that it was too 'menacing' and asked for a more calming primary colour.
-*One downside to Captain Collider's newfound physical presence is the difficulty he now has finding clothes in his size. He doesn't care for loose-fitting jerseys because he's unfamiliar with most of the sports personalities they're branded after.
-*Oddly enough, Captain Collider was a boy scout for a short time in his youth but quickly left in favour of science camp.
-*Captain Collider has a tendency to be ever so slightly excessive when it comes to keeping things in a neat, orderly manner. In some cases, he claims he can hardly concentrate when there's mess about.
-*Captain Collider is an absolutely terrible cook.
-*Captain Collider is a big fan of rom-coms for whatever reason. It's not really something anyone wants to understand.
-*Though he has the power to manipulate particles themselves now, Captain Collider hasn't retired from his role as a physicist. Far from it, he actively uses his new powers to aid in his scientific investigation and to help other scientists.
-*Captain Collider isn't particularly handy. Since receiving his powers he has been trying to improve himself, however.
-*Rather predictably, Captain Collider is very into sci-fi and fantasy genres. Though he doesn't spend quite as much time indulging in his habits as he used to, he knows a fair bit about the two genres.
-*It's a good thing Captain Collider is a pacifist because he has no combat training whatsoever. When he does need to fight hand-to-hand he usually just throws simple punches.

+*When scratched behind the frills, Snow will make a deep rumbling sound - the dragon equivalent to a cat purring.
+*He is a regular comic con attendee. Oh, and he pulls some ridiculous cosplays off despite being a dragon.
+*The main running gag of Snow's character is his weight - while he doesn't really deny it, it's pretty obvious that he's grown a little pudgier over the years. Justified, due to his subspecies' metabolism.
+*Snow's favourite genre of music is classical and orchestra pieces - he has been known to hum In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvarg Grief, or even the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss. 1812 Overture is one of his themes, as well.

But in all seriousness, if I needed someone to watch my back, he would be one of the few on a somewhat short list. And that, you can take to the bank. He's not going to read this. Right?" - [[Persephone]]
+'''"Definitely not. Ooooh noooo..."''''
+"Going to deny the ever-living shit out of it." - [[Persephone]]
+"Still know I more about him, / That has to me been told. / A dragon, wormlike monster, / Slew once the hero bold. / Then in its blood he bathed him, / Since when his skin hath been, / So horn-hard, ne'er a weapon / Can pierce it, as hath oft been seen." - An excerpt of the Song of the Nibelungen, which Snowtalon would find in his mailbox. [[Dr. Kaufmann|Sender Unknown.]]
+'''"...Is someone trying to seduce me, or murder me? Or both?"'''
+"Skarius Snowtalon? Oh, the big lizard guy. Yeah, seen him around HQ. He's all right! Doesn't call me Siri, doesn't complain about mission assignments, gets the job d-- What? A pair of stilts!? Oooooh... I have access to the coffee maker, and I know the guys in IT personally, Snowtalon!" -- [[Serenity Carpenter]]
+'''"It's big 'dragon' guy', Siri."'''
+"He's a cool guy, one day he might just beat me in Carls~ Haha! Nah seriously, I'd love to get to know him more, he seems totally cool~" -- [[Strix]]
+'''"Ooohooohoooh, don't get too cocky."'''
+"He's a darlin'! Saved me from them ARGENT fellers an' took me flyin' an' all. Ah owe him so goldurn much, it ain't even funny." -- [[Bessie]]
+'''"Hey, I can't resist helping people. It's a quirk."'''
+"One of the friendliest dragon-people I know! It's kinda rare to meet one that won't try to use ya as a tiny snack." - [[Particle Man]]
+'''"On second thought, you look delicious..."'''
+"Any friend of All-Star's can't be that bad. Snowtalon is no exception. I appreciate his loyalty, sense of duty and drive. Not to mention an arsenal that has helped pull the tide of victory on more than one occasion." - [[Sparrowhawk]]
+'''The sound of his shotgun pumping emits nearby. "No problem, hon."'''
+"Who? Oh that dragon guy with the shit ton of artillery. Yea I remember him not too long ago. He seemed to be a bit winded up but he's good people from what I can tell. He sure as hell has enough armaments to just blast a hole into any of his problems. Need a problem solved? Trust the dragon that goes pew pew and bang bang. A true philosophy in life I'd say." - [[SoulStar]]
+'''"Winded up? Mate, if you were kicked out of your own dimension, scarred for life at the Battle of Detroit and before all this seen shit that would make a lesser man snap? You'd have some issues, too."'''
+"While Snowtalon might have a fierce looking appearance, tote around enough firepower to level a city block, and be armored enough that it would take a lineup of tanks to even think about denting that armor of his, deep inside he's a kind and caring dragon. I see him going far in the unstable world around us." - [[Razira]]
+'''"D'aaawwww, quit making me blush, you."'''
+"Hi Mr. Snowy! You are pwetty awesome and I hope you are ok when you visit your homeplace. I got cookies for you when you get back!" - [[Chocolate Chip Chelsea]]
+'''Hanging his head, Snow gives a content sigh. "Thanks, Chelsea..."'''
+"I think his fluff gives him a good image. Well, it makes his image easy to look at, which I have no issues with doing." - [[Hydro]]
+'''"Hey! How many times have we talked about this, Arby?"'''
+"Wait, dragon?! I always thought he was some kinda giant, albino, frilled neck lizard or something." - Joah
+'''"What an astute observation! But...yeah, I agree, even I find it confusing."'''
+"I've never met the guy, but I've seen him around. Not a fan of lizards though..."' - [[Stitch]]
+'''"For one, I'm not a lizard. Two, the hell was the point of giving your opinion if you have no idea who I am?"'''
+"In my dreams, I saw a red dragon fighting a white one. The white dragon, however, had a big fucking gun and proceeded to reduce my beloved England to swiss cheese. Queen save us."' - [[Leonard Castellar]]
+'''"Isn't the red dragon Welsh and the white dragon English? Why would I be shooting my own country?!"'''
+"I got déjà vu when I saw this guy. Couldn't explain it. Saw him and thought, 'That man must be some kinda... dragon-man!' Turns out he was just a dragon. But he sure can burninate all the bad guys. He should be called 'The Burninator' if ya ask me." - [[Citizen 13]]
+'''"Bloody hell, really? I thought Puff the Gun Toting Dragon was bad, but now, Trogdor?"'''
+"Heh, I love the big guy. 'E's more than willin' ta' throw me inta' battle, 'n I mean tha' literally." - [[Varulfr]]
+'''"D'aw, Caleb. I didn't expect you to get all sentimental."'''
+"Never met Snowtalon, Seems like a good UNTIL Agent though, Gotta meet him soon." - [[Skull]]
+'''"Straight to the point, I s'pose?"'''
+"A bit meatheaded until he speaks to you on non-business-related terms. Still, I forgive him for past hypocrisy. The Colonel is a smart and clever one whether he consciously realizes it or not." - [[Phosphene]]
+'''"Flattery, I say! Flattery! Good feelings, go away..."'''
-''"Limp-wristed lefty."'' - '''[[All-Star]]'''
+"Snowtalon? Oh! You mean Skarius! Oh uh... *giggle* I think he's such a wonderful and dreamy white dragon. You know I also have some dragon ancestery in me as well? But oh, that's not the point! He's such a gentledrake and it's soo cute the way he blushes the way he does! I'll... be right back, I need to call him again~..." - [[Livina Uaisbro]]

+'''"Flattery..." Snow mutters, his scaly white cheeks tinting a shade of violet.
