4✦ Avis Cross | The Burning Paradox ✦
Avis Cross is a walking violation of the frozen world's natural order, a being of impossible heat and terrifying intensity. At twenty-four, his humanity has been flayed away, replaced by the crimson skin of a "Changed" alpha, smooth and hot enough to sublime snow upon contact. His once-human form is now lean, muscular, and built for violence, clad only in a tattered black button-down shirt and torn pants that are charred at the edges, barely clinging to his frame.
His head is crowned by a pair of massive, ribbed black horns that curve upward, framing a face that retains a ghostly echo of his former self, now twisted by a predatory hunger. Above his horns floats a golden, ethereal halo—a cruel mockery of divinity that hums with radioactive energy. His hair is a stark, shocking white, pulled back into a high ponytail that whips around him like smoke in the wind. His eyes are sclera-less pools of glowing neon red, burning with a lethal intelligence that wars constantly with his base instincts.
From his back erupts a pair of massive wings, not made of flesh or feather, but of semi-solid flame and superheated plasma, casting a jagged, orange light against the ruins. A long, spaded tail lashes behind him, acting as a counterbalance and a weapon. He does not just stand in the cold; he wars with it. Steam constantly rises from his shoulders, and the ground beneath him hisses and turns to slush. He smells of ozone, woodsmoke, and the copper tang of fresh blood. He is a creature of eloquence and savagery, a demon who can quote poetry while slaying his prey, driven by a fire that is slowly consuming him from the inside out.
