[Background]
YEAH, LINKS!

[Personality] The Ice King can be pretty much summed up as CUCKOO-BANANAS, but that's not enough, is it? Madness is definitely a huge component of his personality, but there's a lot more underneath all that. Most people just don't get the chance to see it. :|

At a first glance, it's pretty clear that he can be rather disagreeable and is an extreme social failure. However powerful he might think he is, other people see him at little more than a pain in the ass with a short fuse. Most of the things that he does aren't done out of malice, in fact a lot of his actions are fueled by the need for attention. You see, he's extremely lonely. What he wants most is to love someone and be loved in return, which stems from his tragic past (though, he's not exactly aware of the fact). He wants desperately to know what it's like to have someone that he could really consider a friend. He kidnaps women (specifically princesses) in hopes to woo them, but due to the fact that he doesn't really know how to properly interact with people he fails miserably every time (many failed attempts end in forced marriage). This failure to connect isn't just limited to his love life, no, it also carries over to his 'friendships' as well. He doesn't exactly see the world the same way as other people do (quite literally, when given the chance to look through his eyes one can see why he's more than a little off), so his methods are very skewed and can easily be construed as obnoxious and/or stalker-like behaviour. Suffice it to say, he's crazy and he doesn't really do bad things on purpose; even if he does have the means.

Since he's lonely and doesn't really have anyone to close to him (aside from the army of Gunthers, but do they really count?), he tends to find himself wandering off into his 'imagination zone' quite a bit. He seems to be happier there, even if it's not real. He definitely has a very vivid imagination, spending much of his time writing his fan-fiction based on the people around him. It's clear that he loves the characters that he's written to the point that he'd love to bring them to life and even self-inserts himself into the stories. While he would love to have friends in the real world, he practically idolizes the versions that he has created in his stories. Even though he spends a great deal of his time on his stories, he also spend a lot of time with his penguins and creating v-logs. He records himself doing various things, everything from singing songs in wigs to exercise. It's a way for him to pass the time, to deal with his loneliness and probably keep him from focusing too much on the crazy things that he sees with his wizard eyes.

It's clear that he wasn't always this type of person, the breakdown of his mental state is directly related to the crown that he acquired while he was still human. Not only did it impact his social skills, it also destroyed his memory. Not only does he not remember key events from his past, but he also seems to have some memory loss regarding recent events as well. It could be attributed to being a super old dude, but some of the misconceptions and mistakes that he makes are likely because the crown continues to have an effect on him still. Because of his madness, he has a rather nonchalant attitude regarding his past and trivializes much of it. When his history was revealed to Finn and Jake, his only concern was that they found out he wore glasses at one point. He also still keeps many of the things from his past, but keeps them tucked away in the 'past room'. It's a little unclear, but there are some indications that he has brief moments of lucidity, but he can never recall them. He cries over pages in his old journal, only to forget having done so and simply notes that the pages are wet.

All that being said, he's really not all bad or all crazy. He's just mostly crazy. Given the right opportunity, he's very much into having fun and enjoying himself. It's also shown that given the chance, he can have a loving relationship even if it's with a self-created monster. He's very childlike in a sense; he deals badly with rejection and being ignored but delights in getting attention and validation.

HE IS A MAN-BABY, LOVE HIM.

[Abilities]
ICE POWERS

I know some of his powers will have to be limited, so if at all possible, I'd like for him to still have the use of his flying beard and the power to manipulate ice into stuff and things; as well as his ability to create living ice sculptures. Though, those would be mostly to keep him company if he gets lonely. Which he will. He'd make a bunch of Gunters.

WIZARD EYES

[Other important stuff]
He wants to be your friend. He might also write weird gender-swapped stories about you. He may also spam the network occasionally. :( He also keeps things in his beard.

[Sample post]
[First Person]
[In true Ice King fashion, he will be doing this interview on camera. And by himself. Totally by himself. He clears his throat and begins the interview; a long, black wig atop his head. He'll be removing it and replacing it with his crown, alternating between interviewer and interviewee. And yes, he's pretending to be a woman when asking himself the questions.]

If you were to describe yourself in one sentence, what would that be?

One sentence, hmmm? It's a little hard to limit it, but I'll do my best. [He's thinking for quite some time. You might want to fast forward, but finally he's got it.]

I am the king of cool, baby, didn't you know?

Fabulous answer, Ice King, I couldn't have said it better myself! Now, you're asked to take someone out for a date; do you agree? What would you do? [Is he...? Yes, he's batting his eyes at himself. Then the removal of the wig as he laughs coyly and places the crown atop his head.]

Come on, come on, you know the answer to that already; of course I'd take Princess Bubblegum out for a date. We'd get married and make-out a lot, what could be better? That's quality time right there!

Oh, you naughty thing! Let's see...next question... [He's shuffling through cards, trying to find a good one, that 'feminine' voice fading as he says no a few times and tosses them to the side. Clearing his throat, he finds one.] Lumpy Space Princess just confessed their love to you, how do you respond?

Lumpy Space Princess? [He makes a face and shudders just a bit.] You couldn't have picked someone else for the question? She's all...lumpy and stuff, it's really...[Another shudder] Ew, next question!

If you could fight in a giant robot, what would it be and what would you do?

If we're counting invincible ice armour, been there and done that. Trust me, it's not all it's cracked up to be. If you've got problems with the legs then the whole thing just turns into a mess...

[He's just staring at the screen for a while, as if he's trying to figure out if he should continue or not. He doesn't even bother putting the wig back on, pointing off screen.]

Oh look, there's a double rainbow!

A double rainbow? [He looks like he's studying that invisible rainbow pretty hard, finally a big smile creeps over his face and he lets out a laugh.] You should see it from this end, it's pretty wild! [He seems to be rather mesmerized for a few more moments, still laughing now and again before he finally puts the wig back on and continues.]

Last but not least, do you believe you can fly? Do you believe you can touch the sky?

...you know, I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer.

[Beyond that he doesn't say anything, instead just removing the wig again and replacing it with his crown. Just going to fly away with his beard, up and away from the screen. It keeps running until it eventually shuts off.]


[Third Person]

Settling in had been something of a chore for the Ice King, but he was adjusting as well as it could be expected. The shops were definitely something different and he'd been able to find all manner of things that he'd never experienced before, so with arms loaded up with bags he was making his way back to his self-proclaimed home. That was when he saw it, or more that he heard it.

"Hand it over, princess!"

Princess? Princess? Now that was something he was familiar with, stowing his bags in his beard as he peered around the corner of the building. She didn't look much like a princess, but who was he to judge? There were all kinds where he came from, after all, so looks could be a little deceiving. She was no Princess Bubblegum, but if he could be her hero maybe, just maybe, he'd get a wife out of it. Hands now freed, he cracked his knuckles, focusing all of his energy into his fingers for that quick strike; flash-freezing the robber right where he stood.

"Ha! Take that, you no good..." Well, he hadn't thought of what to say next, so he went with what felt natural. "...no gooder!"

That pause as he came all the way around the corner now, lifting up his crown long enough to fuss with that tuft of hair on the top of his head. Smooth, Ice King, smooth. The girl, of course, didn't know what to think. First she'd been nearly robbed and then this old man...was he, yes he was making eyes at her.

"You're safe now, princess!"

She didn't know what to say, staring between the Ice King and the man that was now frozen at her feet. Instead of an actual response, all he got in return was a frightened nod. That didn't bode well for him, not at all, so the nod was met with awkward silence. He stood there watching her for a moment, all the while the girl trying to figure out if she should run or not. It was then that the Ice King smiled, finally breaking the silence.

"Soooo, you wanna go somewhere and kiss or something?" Such hope he had, but it was dashed when the girl let out a little squeal and went tearing off down the street. He stood there staring once again, finally lifting up a hand with a laugh and waggling a finger in her direction. "Ah, playing hard to get, are you? Naughty little thing!"

And so the chase began, he wasn't going to let this one get away. Somehow, this felt very natural to him and made him feel a little bit more at home, at least some things never changed.


[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Because I love this game I think he would love it in Somarium, tbh. There are princesses here, so he's cool with that. Also, he loves making videos, so he'll love the network.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] BE NICE TO EACH OTHER.
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] UM, I PLAY HERE?
[Any questions?] Nope!
