Vincent J Fenri: Maitre'd Diamond Dust

[Fenri]

Name: Vincent J Fenri

Order: Elv - Cristalupine Fenri
Cristalupine Elvs are a race of wolfen Elvs inhabiting the feet of the Hyperion Mountain range. Most of their number resided in the harsh conditions of Hyperion Drifts, a valley in the range cursed with a constant gale wind and whiteout conditions. Only the hardiest of creatures can survive it's frosty terrain, and the Cristalupine make up the top of the food chain.

The Cristalupine, although often seeming more human than not, can move freely between human and wolfen forms thanks to their Anthem. Their fur gives them an advantage against the cold and wolfen senses all the advantages of a canine nervous system with human cognition and a utility set complete with thumbs.

Central Pillar: Everything depends on the bonds we build

Contrast Pillar: Has a discerning eye and a sharp tongue

Crossing Pillars: Zero Venkage, Zeik Hellgate, Ban Sandra, Johanna Jörmungandr

Active Pillar: Discussing the uncertain future of Vescrutia

Anthem: Vulcardia - Heart of the Wolf that connects all Cristalupine. The source of their power and pride, the heart lets them change form, survive and utilize the power of frost and ice, and build their pack to carry on their traditions.

Faction: Diamond Dust - Servants of the greater good, no matter the cost. Its members are volunteers dedicated to bettering the lives of Vescrutians however they can. The way they work is unorthodox to some, but crucially imperative in some of the areas they work. They are Pillars in their respective communities and command respect and loyalty.

Traits:

Ars Culina - Sacred art of the warmth of the hearth. This discipline is involved in the survival skills that hunt live game and stoke the fires to prepare it. This trait passes on the necessary skills with martial tools and the heart of flame to give its users a destructive edge. They take pride in their craft and honor the lives of the creatures that die to provide for their guests, bringing the warmth of the hearth to their kitchens and their performances.

Ars Bevera - Sacred art of beverage and liquid service. This discipline is skilled in that transmutation of liquids from one form to another. Infusions and purifications of special herbs and materials can turn liquids into life saving salves or terrible poisons. The history of Ars Bevera has been recorded in Diamond Dust’s handbook, holding a wealth of secrets forged by generations of masters of the craft. They act as the life giving water for the performances, and maintain a restorative character that pervades every show.

Orderbound - An ability that allows the user to link their Naten to others to share with them as master and subordinates. Consent is necessary and the bond needs to be consecrated with a solemn oath or blood bond.

Tourmaline - A special energy stemming from a chunk of a meteorite crafter into a bangle for him. It emits an energy that resonates from the user’s body like a magnetic field. It slows the vibration of energy it comes into contact with, defying gravity in many ways.

Howling Winds - An affinity for frosty winds and ice conjuring, the user can create ice and cold conditions using only their Naten.


Arbiters:

Ava) Dew - A Vulcardia Arbiter that causes the user's eyes to glow a silvery blue. This ability increases the flow of energy through and around them.

Bea) Dew Frost - This Arbiter creates ice in many forms from snowfall to glacier-like constructs. Fenri can utilize moisture in the air or even his own moisture to produce ice where there otherwise would be none.

Cea) Aurorine - Tourmaline energy in its pure state. Can be infused into Dew Frost techniques and abilities to freeze things on the physical plane and energy through more subtle fields.

Dea) Ice Titan - An eerie, crystalline energy Fenri has only used a handful of times. Creates a giant construct made of lice that attacks according to the orders it's given by its master.

Dea) Gravitas - Concentrated Tourmaline energy. Fenri creates a razor thin space where Tourmaline energy is concentrated. Its slowing and cooling effect creates a flash freeze vacuum. Once the space is created, he can grow it larger at will, but the larger it grows, the more energy it takes for him to stop.

Bio: Fenri is the tireless leader of the mostly volunteer humanitarian organization, Diamond Dust. Born in the Hyperion Drifts with his Cristalupine people, Fenri grew up understanding the importance of family and having a support network on order for a community to thrive, ingrained in him from his community and reinforced by the terrifying weather they lived within. He remembers the day he joined Diamond Dust like a film on repeat, it's memory marred by the loss of his whole pack and most of any Cristalupine he knew personally.

The tragedy that took one family from him blessed him with another, since Diamond Dust arrived intending to help the people on the region relocate. Instead, they adopted Fenri into their ranks and he became their leader half a century later. His first move as Premier was to construct a hub to the base of the Hyperion Mountain range near the Drifts and the rest is history. Diamond Dust has carried out it's humanitarian mission since then with the same enthusiasm as they ever had, drawing volunteers from the world over.

The volunteers who work with him are intensely devoted to his cause and the work they do. They are prepared to put their lives on the line for every operation, eager to leave the world a better place for it. Many of them are just like Fenri, living through a traumatic event and managing the repercussions on the other side of a life changing event and they make the best recruits for the organization. The most devoted of them work at Duster's Tavern and take on the challenge of performing in their Dynamic Dinner Theater. He cares for each member like a member of his own family and always has their best interest in mind.

Fenri's character leaves a long lasting mark on most everyone he meets. Natural charisma flows from him, wrapping anyone nearby in a familial warmth. It's from that warmth that people treat him to a devoted following spanning Vescrutia's entire surface. Some follow Diamond Dust's influence throughout the world as an international pillar of cooperation and strength, offering their talents to its mission. Others choose to follow Fenri directly, enamored by his stoic charm and quiet intensity. Either way, he heads the organization with a righteous heart and just decisions, putting the needs of the people who back them before Diamond Dust's own.
