[IC Information]
Character Name: Jack Frost
Series: Rise of the Guaridans
Gender: Male
Age: 318~
Species: spirit of Winter

Appearance: Jack is tall and lean with very little excess muscle or fat on his body. He's about the average height of a teenager, although still short enough that Santa and Bunny are taller than him. He has snow white hair that is always wind-swept and teeth paired with the brightest blue eyes you've probably ever seen. Usually you'll see a twinkle in those pair of icy blues as well accompanied by a devil-may-care grin. He has pale skin as you would expect from someone who doesn't see sun very often and is always cold. He tends to go without shoes and wears a blue hoody that is covered in a fine layer of frost along with a pair of brown pants. Jack is almost never seen without his frost covered staff either.

Personality:
Jack Frost is many things and is a lot more complex than his typical care-free attitude would make you think. On the surface, Jack is somone who is always looking for the fun and joy in life. Whether that's bringing a little snow to kids or just playing around and tossing out jokes or causing mischief. Jack is always the life of a party (well, if he were invited to any). Jack enjoys games of all kinds but especially the kind that involve running around and laughing. Stemming from that, Jack likes to MAKE people laugh, especially children. Nothing makes him happier than seeing a kid happy because of a snow day or because they get to win a snowball fight (or race through traffic on a sled).

It should probably go without saying that sometimes his fun lands him on the "naughty" list. Not only does he love a good prank and just being a mischievousness guy in general, but he's not one for being responsible or worrying about anything serious either. Why be serious when you can have fun instead? He's stated himself that he hates that kind of thing and it's one of the reasons he DOESN'T want to be a Guardian. It's too much responsibility and work and that's just not the kind of person he is. He doesn't often consider the consequences of his actions either, which can make him seem a bit selfish at times. Jack is the type of person to jump to action without thinking things through and this will (and has) often back fire on not only himself but his friends as well.

That doesn't mean that having fun is all he cares about, although that's what most people think. Jack is a very kind and compassionate individual. He worries over kids when he sees them troubled and he takes the time to make sure they're kept out of harms way, even when he's playing pranks on them and it's his fault they are there in the first place. It's why he's considered a Guardian after all, because he cares for those children he brings joy to and always makes sure they are having fun without getting hurt. He is especially protective over the children in his "home town", making sure that they are happy. When Pitch threatens them (Jamie especially) he is the first to jump into action to defend them from those fears. He even personally sees to it that Jamie's sister gets home safely.

Despite all the fun and carefree attitude Jack isn't without his troubles. He's spent 300 years being invisible from almost the entire world and that's really taken its toll on him. Jack feels so alone at times because he has no one to talk to. Not even the moon will answer the questions he has about himself and, having no one to interact with, means Jack has a lot of time he spends on his own. He wants friends but because he can't be seen by most mortals means he doesn't really have any. This lends itself to two things. One, he is constantly seeking attention and trying to get children to acknowledge him for the snow days and snow-time fun they have. Two, he has a strong fear of being forgotten and alone and never understanding WHY no one would believe in him. Deep down that is what drives Jack as well, to be believed in. He wants the fun he brings to children to mean something to them and to make him more solid. He may say he hates responsibility but at the end of the day he still wants people to rely on him and trust him to do what is right.

Abilities: Jack has powers tied to winter. He can create snow and ice and control it/mold it to his whim. He can also fly through the air. While he can do these things without his staff the staff itself helps hone his skills and increase his powers. He's also shown the ability to make frost and snow come alive when he made a bunny on a window pane and then made it hop off the glass. Jack is also able, with a blast of his snow, to cause people to feel joy and happiness.

Items: His staff, he's always holding that thing.

History:
Jack was not always the spirit of winter. In fact, Jack was once a normal human with a mother and a sister. He lived during the early colonial days of America and was raised in a small village where he spent a lot of time keeping the other village children entertained with his antics. One day, Jack went out with his sister to go ice skating and neither realized the ice was too thin until it was cracking beneath them. Jack made it into a game to keep his sister calm and got her off of the ice. However, it was too cracked by that point and Jack plunged into the icy lake and that was how his mortal life ended.

However, the Man in the Moon realized that Jack had something inside him based on his last actions in life, a desire to protect and care for children. The Man in the Moon transformed Jack into Jack Frost, the spirit of winter in the hopes that he would one day become a guardian. Jack rose from the lake reborn and without any memories of his past life. The moon didn't tell him much, just his name and left it at that. Jack quickly discovered that he wasn't a normal being but a spirit that could fly and control winter but could not be seen by mortals. He would spend the next few centuries flying around the world and trying to find someone that could believe in and see him.

Since we don't get much on the intervening centuries let's go ahead and skip ahead to the present day. Jack has mostly accepted his place in life (being invisible, bringing snow days, etc) and spends his time with kids, mostly the ones in his former home town. He plays with them even though they don't realize it and watches over them, especially during winter time. He doesn't get any credit for his work however and this is very much a sore spot with him. Especially when, after leading a kid named Jamie on the ride of his life, Jamie looses a tooth and starts thinking about the Tooth Fairy instead of him. Jack gets huffy about it and sulks for the rest of the day, wondering why no one can ever give him credit.

Unbeknownst to him, the Guardians have gathered and learned that trouble is brewing at that apparently they will need Jack's help. The Easter Bunny comes to collect Jack for this task with the help of Santa's Yetis and stuffs him in a sack before he can protest. The Guardians (who consist of the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, and Sandman) explain to Jack that he's been chosen by the Man in the Moon to be one of them. Jack, however, is annoyed at being kidnapped and tells the others that he doesn't want the job because it just sounds like hard work and deadlines. They try to convince him that he can't just turn it down, he's chosen, but Jack declines anyway. However, he's quickly dragged into the matter when Tooth finds out that Pitch has indeed returned and has taken all of the children's teeth she keeps stored for the purposes of their memories. Jack is, once again, declining his services until he finds out that his OWN memories are kept there as well and that Pitch just took them along with everyone else's. Jack changes his tune and decides to help them at least get the teeth back AND help the Tooth Fairy stay in business by collecting kids' teeth that night.

Things work out fairly well too, but then Jack pranks everyone into a sleep while they're getting Jamie's tooth and he and Sandy have to fight Pitch alone. The battle starts out fairly well but things take a turn for the worse when Pitch overpowers Sandy and gets him killed. Jack feels partly guilty and responsible for Sandy's demise, but decides to keep helping the Guardians by saving Easter with the others. He knows it's the least he can do especailly with Sandy out of the picture to fuel kids' dreams. Things seem to be going good again until Jack gets tricked into Pitch's lair and is too late to help Bunny and the others deliver eggs. Without any eggs, Easter is ruined and the kids stop believing in the Easter Bunny. The Guardians turn their backs on Jack, feeling betrayed and disappointed in his choice to follow Pitch. Jack realies he's let them down and flies off to be alone.

Unfortunately, Pitch finds him in the Artic and convinces him to stay out of the way, permanently. Jack swears he won't interfere and just wants to be alone but Pitch won't accept it until Jack gives Pitch his staff in exchange for Baby Tooth (a mini-tooth fairy who has been following him around and who had been previously captured when Jack last met Pitch). Pitch renigs on his deal however and decides to keep the mini-fairy AND Jack's staff. The fairy escapes by her own means and in a rage Pitch breaks Jack's staff and drops Jack into a crevice in the ice, leaving him stranded in Antarctica. Jack mopes and feels like a failure because of all the people he has let down and the kids who will now know only fear. His only company Baby Tooth, however show him that he is not alone and has something to fall back on: his teeth memories that he had gotten from Pitch previously. Jack opens the case up and is shown what his life was like when he was human. He realizes that his whole purpose in life was to watch out for kids and keeping them laughing despite their troubles or pain.

Jack fixes his staff and decides he has to stop Pitch from completely blanketing the world in fear. He flies off to help the Guardians and to find Jamie, one of the last children remaining that still believes. Maybe he dozes off while flying or maybe it's something else, but the next thing Jack knows he's flying over Traverse Town instead.
