Traveler's Tale: Zima the Icewalker

>NAME: My old names don't mean much. Both of those people are dead now. As for me, call me Zima.
>SEX: Technically female. The stronger-willed of my components was, so that's how I ended up. More on that later, and it doesn't really matter anyway.
>ORIGIN: The Now; Watcher. Or, at least one of them was. The other? I'm not sure. I'm not even sure where he found her. He wasn't supposed to, they told me that much. She wasn't even supposed to be there.

>TRAITS: Low-Tech Understanding (free), Mid-Tech Understanding (7 left), Common Ethereal Manipulation (6 left), Basic Ethereal Manipulation (5 left), Advanced Ethereal Manipulation (4 left), Ethereal Manipulation Mastery (3 left), Natural Beauty (2 left), Natural Physique (1 left), Runemaster (0 left)

She passed on much of her skill and power, but he came with more knowledge of the natural sciences than she'd ever expected. Looking through their memories now, I think each had what the other lacked. Was I supposed to come about this way all along?

>EQUIPMENT: Traveler Leathers (free), Plate Armor (1800), Imprinted Runic Inscriptions (self-applied and thus free, according to the description), Yuta Brace (mandatory), Dangulf Sword (1750), Pegs (free), Basic Survival Kit (free), Basic Bag (free), ID Card (free), Bottomless Bag (1650), Magical Protection Vestments (1600), Organ Replacement [Heart] (1550), Stasis Guard (1350), Runist Kit (1050), Faustian Bargain (1060), Universal Traveler Markers (1050), Whale Skin Marks (950), Atropal Incense (650)

The Travelers have done a lot to help out, but the moment that boy found that sword is the reason I exist in the first place. There was already something in there. She tried to take over his body and use him for her own goals, but something happened. Someone intervened and instead of one using the other like a puppet, they both got tossed into a blender. I'm what came out of it. I can't even tell their memories apart anymore, unless it's a memory of looking into a mirror.

>LITTLE THINGS: Child of Emblem (750), Anon's Bizzare Adventure [+1 companion]

I'm literally made of two beings whose influences complete one another. What do you think I'm going to do? Besides, something keeps

>MORE EQUIPMENT: STAND-Type Entity (0) [Name: "Invincible"]

Considering the look I've taken on, the name seems appropriate.

>FACTION: True Travelers [+free Traveler Leathers Upgrade, +free Yuta Brace Upgrade/Yuta Partner Brace, +1 SKILL (Martial Training)]

I owe them everything I've gotten since the moment I came into existence. I'm happy for tat.

>COVENANT: None

It just doesn't feel right. Though, half of me went from hardline atheist to self-despising agnostic as his life reached its end, and my other half has been consistently referred to as an unholy entity. What a way to go, huh?

>ALLIES: Saint Havel, Xian Mayen, Saphfo Eresia, Filgi Grimcandle, Temujin, Lethice

I figure I can at least try to pair them all off. As for Temujin, I feel like I can understand his point. What might I have done, had the boy's will been stronger or the blade's plan succeeded? What might I have become? Would I have ever been at all?

>HOME DISTRICT: New Irgusk

Something about the cold just feels right. My skin feels cold lately.

>HUBWORLD: Terra D9313 - Land of the Comatose Gods

They sent me here thinking I might learn more about exactly how I came to be and at the same time help a few other Travelers with their projects.

>PANIC BUTTON: The King

I both admire and fear his methods. Wonder what that says about me.
