Character Basics

.:Name of Character:. Robert 'Bobby' Louis Drake

.:Species:. Mutant

.:Alias:. Iceman

.:Affiliation:. X-Men

Appearance

.:Physical Appearance:.

Bobby stands at 5'11, with short-ish blonde-brown hair and icey blue eyes. He has a pretty lean physique partially down to how active he is most of the time. He has a few minor scars from various adventures when he was younger, but the most prominent is a four-inch scar on his right knee, which he got when he was eleven from falling off his skateboard during a more adventurous stunt.

Clothing-wise, he usually opts for comfortable short-sleeved shirts or baseball style shirts, whatever it is it’ll often be blue of one shade or another although he does have plenty of alternatives; those are just his favorites along with a few hoodies too. Any pants he wears are equally of the comfortable kind or otherwise, he’ll have board shorts on along with sneakers. Bobby’s all about comfort on this matter and not too bothered about being at the height of fashion.


.:Height:. 5'11

.:Portrayed by:. Shawn Ashmore





.:Personality:.


Dedicated / Playful / Good-hearted /Troubled

While Bobby hasn’t lost his playful side, it was much more obvious when he was younger before his mutation manifested, but it wasn’t the only reason he became a little more serious, with his parents’ unstable marriage having a significant impact even before his powers became apparent.


Most of the time, he’s outwardly calm and fairly in control although he can lose his temper if pushed too far but it’s rare and he usually regrets it. He’s level-headed and friendly, proud of his ability despite still struggling to accept that not everybody sees it as a gift, particularly his family and he’s under no illusions about the problems mutations can cause in reality. While he attempts to always be honest with others where possible, he’s not always honest with himself.


.:Powers/Abilities:.

Cryokinesis

Bobby’s able to generate and alter ice and snow, controlling it how he chooses by manipulating moisture in the air. There’s no need for him to physically form the ice with his hands, he merely directs waves of cold in a way that achieves his aim, but imagination is always at play too.


Thermokinesis

He can manipulate thermal energy, able to control the temperature in his surroundings and more rapidly his own temperature, internally and externally. His mutation means he’s immune to such cold temperatures and bodily organs and tissues will remain unaffected by the intensity. He can also handle hot temperatures largely thanks to this thermokinesis, but he’ll still usually stay away from any kind of sauna or hot tub and the like.


The culmination of these abilities allow Bobby to create an ice armor or change his form entirely to ice by lowering his body temperature, causing the moisture close to his body to turn to ice, forming an ice shell that covers him and grants increased endurance and strength. When transforming his body to a complete organic ice form this also gives him a high level of resistance to destruction while in such a form.


.:Weaknesses:.

Cryokinesis — Lack of moisture is Bobby’s main weakness regarding his mutation, impacting how effective he can be as well as how much effort it takes to use his powers. He requires it to use his mutation, but the less moisture, the harder time he’ll have and the more energy he’ll need to expend to achieve his aims.


Strength/Resilience — While he’s in human form, (no ice form or ice armor) he has normal human strength for someone of his age, build and activity levels. He’s vulnerable to harm in the same way most humans would be while in his normal form.





.:Birthplace:. Boston, Massachusetts

.:Family:. Father - William Drake, Mother - Madeline Drake, Brother - Ronnie Drake

.:Occupation:. Student/active member of the X-Men

.:Current Location of Residence:. New York

.:History:.

Bobby’s younger years were happy enough and he and his family led what seemed like a normal life, but as he approached his early teens he began to grow more aware of his parents’ bickering and the general unpleasant mood that loomed over the household, no matter how much his mother in particular tried to gloss over the reality of it all.


With his home life becoming increasingly unsteady along with changes he was experiencing himself, Bobby began to feel oddly cold at times, these occasions happening more and more frequently until it had reached the point that he couldn’t seem to get warm at all. As if the very core of him was frozen, yet he kept this to himself with the desperate hope that the sensation would disappear.


Instead it grew worse and with his parents having a blazing argument one night, Bobby’s mutation finally manifested completely as he slammed his door to escape the row happening downstairs. Frost spreading out from where his hand was pressed to the wood and rapidly covering the entire door and out to the walls within his room. Terrified, he came close to calling out for his parents but the ice subsided as quickly as it had appeared, leaving a stunned and shivering Bobby curled in the corner of his bedroom with no idea what was happening to him.


It was not too long after that he was enrolled in Xavier’s School under the pretense that it was a prep school as far as his parents were concerned, but the secret of his mutation eventually came out when Bobby, John, Rogue and Logan were forced to take refuge at his parents house following an attack on the mansion. They didn’t take it well and the events that followed led to Bobby becoming more estranged and distant from his family than ever before.


Bobby eventually became a fully fledged member of the X-Men, fighting alongside his fellow mutants in whatever way was needed, sadly sometimes against other mutants. He both gained and lost friends but remained loyal to the X-Men and their cause, sharing in it with them in hopes of a better future.
