~ Frostbite's similarly brief introduction |
Summary[]
Richardson Schneider Jr, AKA Frostbite, is one of the members of the Homewreckers, the antagonistic force behind the Unreality Killings in Valhalla: Hellcity. He was one of the first Towers that the Wife Beaters faced alongside Hellfire Inferno Blazing Starfire, and provided a more supportive role by weakening the attacks of the Wife Beaters, leading to him being prioritized and taken out first.
An older man from Germany who moved to one of the Nordic countries, Richardson was an agent of some sort to the Finnish secret service. Information on this time is scarce, but it seems he worked in espionage. Upon becoming a Trigger, they opted to become a freelancing Assassin who would only go after Triggers, racking up 95 kills throughout his career. Originally a part of the group sent to kill Starfire, but this ultimately turned into working alongside them as a Tower, leading to their death at the hands of the Wife Beaters.

Name: Richardson Schneider Jr., "Frostbite"
Origin: Valhalla: Hellcity
Gender: Male
Age: 53
Classification: Level 1 Trigger, Tower
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Types 1 and 3, Triggers are immortal[1] and can heal from any physical injury[2]), Regeneration (Low-Godly, any damage on the physical layer is regarded as "False Damage"[2] that is incapable of killing the trigger and regenerates at triple speed, while damage to every layer is still able to be healed provided the damage is not extensive, and they are not struck in their[3] spiritual core.[4] Frostbite possesses[5] Rapid Regen, doubling the speed of this process), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 and 3; Triggers have no requirements for food or physical obligation to sleep, only being affected psychologically by prolonged consciousness.[4] Can traverse into the depths of Red Gashes, where even air vanishes from existence[6]), Energy Manipulation (The defining trait of a Trigger is the ability to control Energy, an extraplanar force that clashes with the nature of reality on a fundamental level. This fuels their abilities at large, and can be fired as a blast directly[2]), Explosion Manipulation (Regularly caused by the use of energy, whether through Blasts, Energy enhanced attacks or certain Unique Powers[2]), Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Can attack on the mental and spiritual layers alongside the physical[2]), Fear Manipulation (Damage to the mental layer can influence the thoughts and feelings of onlookers, causing locations that have been severely damaged by triggers to cause an innate sense of dread and desire to abandon the area[7]), Memory Manipulation (Damage to an area on the mental layer may cause it to be outright removed from collective memory,[2] Silas's Miracle was capable of "unpersoning" King Gizzard by reducing him to atoms on every layer[4]), Life Manipulation (The spiritual layer dictates the properties of physical objects, including their life-force/spans[7]), Regeneration Negation (Up to Low-Godly; Damage to the spiritual layer interferes with the life force of objects, making it impossible for mundane means to repair damage dealt by a Trigger.[7] Even other Triggers have an increased difficulty healing attacks that harm their souls[2]), Invulnerability Negation (Despite a Fortified Trigger's ability to completely ignore False Damage,[2] a Trigger's normal attacks are capable of harming them, as displayed with Aisha,[3] and Frozen Mind's similar protection of the mind and soul also cannot prevent outright damage), Non-Physical Interaction (Capable of damaging spiritual and mental structures, and even interact with Gashes and creatures similar in nature,[8] which are a "total annihilation of anything and everything"[9]), Reactive Evolution (Triggers as a whole have the capacity to suddenly evolve in Level through overexposure to extreme levels of Energy, special energy sources or extreme distress.[2] More regularly, external factors allow them to break through their limits to enhance their power,[4] this process often granting them new aspects to their powers in the process) Surface Scaling (Even the least agile of triggers are capable of running straight up walls and climbing on totally flat surfaces[2]), Enhanced Senses (Triggers are capable of seeing the Spiritual and Mental layers of reality, as well as have their senses tuned to such extremes that they can "hear sweat hitting the ground from another room, see in almost complete darkness, feel minor shifts in the air and smell chemicals that have no odor".[2] This allows Triggers to speak to each other at normal volumes from hundreds of meters away, as well as communicate through the minimal use of their vocal cords while keeping their mouth closed.[10] Far superior to Xander Phoenix in this regard, who was capable of detecting and eventually pinpointing the location of Gash Lizards[8]), Reality Warping and Physics Manipulation (The use of energy can cause Random Events, causing a conflict between the laws of physics and reality in an attempt to replace it with the Energy Layer[2]), Statistics Amplification (Can attack with an Energy infused punch, increasing it's speed and power, as well as well as use Energy to block or dodge for similar effects. Flashstep allows him to move at five times the speed[2]), Forcefield Creation (Energy Block can emit a forcefield upon use[8]), Light Manipulation (Energy Defense can cause a flashbang effect that blinds opponents after it succeeds[2]), Telepathy (Triggers are capable of easily "reading" mundane people through observing them on the mental layer[7])
Ice Manipulation (Frostbite's Unique Power is the dampening of temperature and kinetic energy in a given area, allowing them to reach temperatures of -200 degrees centigrade and freeze enemies and their surroundings to hinder their movement.[7] This ability has a particular affinity for warping physics, allowing for phenomena such as Superionic Ice, the freezing of space or Warrane Ambre's Crunch.[5] As an Elementite Trigger,[2] Frostbite is also capable of purging ice from himself and others if he so chooses[4]), Absorption (Homewreckers are granted[11] the Carnage power perk, which allows them to increase their power in the midst of combat through killing people or Triggers and absorbing their Energy, and retain some of the benefits overtime[2]), Superhuman Precision (Frostbite possesses S[7] Motorics, making their hand-eye coordination and precision far beyond a normal human, as well as Super Aim, allowing them to precisely hit the tongue, eardrum or eyes of a target[2]), Stealth Mastery (Served as a member of the Finnish Secret Service in Espionage.[7] After becoming a Trigger, these capabilities which were then drastically enhanced, preventing any mundane human from detecting him while sneaking and giving even Triggers increased difficulty in locating them[5]), Statistics Reduction (His ice is capable of directly weakening the physical capabilities and kinetic energy of enemies, rendering them less powerful overall[5]), Aura (Overwhelming, Richardson emits a freezing aura that passively accumulates frost and reduces the power of enemies[7]), Weather Manipulation (Capable of making wide fields of extremely cold fog or outright blizzards[7]), Absolute Zero (End of Days creates a massive wave of Absolute Zero temperatures, his power is generally capable of reaching these temperatures through enough Energy[7]), Fusionism (Possesses Synergy X, allowing them to fuse his Unique Power with others to create combination attacks[2]), Awakened Power (Once enough Frost is accumulated on a given target, Richardson is capable of using a Burst[2] in the form of a blast that reduces everything within 100 kilometers below absolute zero[7]), Damage Reduction (Possesses a degraded version of Lindsey Graham's shroud, which reduces the damage they receive[3]), Self-Destruction (Homewreckers have an innate "Kill Switch",[10] causing them to be consumed by a Gash[3] if they betray the organization[12]), Invisibility and Resurrection (Would have been able to access the complete shroud if not for Lindsey Graham's incapacitation, allowing it to also restore them to full capacity in case they would otherwise die,[7] obscure their identity[11] and reduce their existential presence by covering them in a darkness likened directly to nothingness.[13] making them difficult for even the senses of Triggers to detect[8])
Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1, Level 2 Triggers are capable of interacting with the Conceptual layer of reality,[7] with Burst allowing a Trigger to reach into a level higher than their own temporarily[2]), Causality Manipulation (Manipulation of the Conceptual Layer allows for a bypass of cause and effect itself,[7] with the likes of Captain Adam using this to make multiple portals feed into a single exit or one portal lead into multiple exits[4] or Burst Silas knocking a being with no spatial coordinates into outer space[14] before even firing Firmament Genesis[4]), Immortality Negation (Type 8; Bursts are capable of severing the Grand's connection to his network, which provides him new bodies upon death ad infinitum[15])
Spatial Manipulation (Can cause objects to randomly teleport around a given battlefield,[16] potentially dragging them through several dimensions in the process.[5] Sufficiently compounded Random Events can cause an entire city to experience severe spatial expansion, ripping at anyone within it's radius[17]), Gravity Manipulation (Can briefly cause singularities to occur, distorting space-time and stretching the ground around it into Nano-Carbon Latices.[16] This effect can potentially be manifested to such an extent that gravity is reverted, a true vacuum is formed, and an entire forest is converted to Latices.[3] Capable of coalescing gravity around a specific target, forming a massive sphere of material that pins them to the ground.[18] Capable of softening gravity, causing those in it's radius to move twice as fast from the decreased weight[12]), Transmutation (Capable of turning dirt into a harmful gas, and in more extreme cases cause matter to directly turn to Energy,[3] can turn water into wine and blood[19]), Matter Manipulation (Random Events frequently interfere with molecular structures, certain extremes are able to atomize those without sufficient resilience[19]), Air Manipulation (Can increase air pressure within 1000 meter radius exponentially for 30 seconds, causing explosions to be sustained thermobarically throughout the duration,[4]as well as cause a vacuum effect that shreds nearby opponents[20]), Light Manipulation (Can cause an implosion of heat that becomes as bright as the sun, blinding anyone in it's wake,[21] which can be manifested to such an extent that it melts steel throughout a hydroelectric dam[4]), Temperature Manipulation (Can prevent molten material from cooling off, sustaining it's heat from the explosion that caused it to melt[8]), Weather Manipulation (Can create a storm of energy that hovers around the battlefield[21]), Time Manipulation (Can revert time, causing attacks to be re-released as a massive explosion,[21] or cause stopped time to solidify and shatter into shards that revert whatever they cut into the recent past[17]), Size Manipulation and Density Manipulation (Can cause the density of manipulated material to become unstable, sometimes bloating their size and mass or causing them to collapse into a pebble sized chunk[8]), Madness Manipulation (Can warp the mental layer into an abominable and maddening landscape[22]), Vector Manipulation (Can cause objects to move in bizarre fashions by warping the vectors of their motion[22]), Plant Manipulation (Can cause destroyed trees to immediately sprout new ones,[3] and can cause them to wither and die[18]), Vibration Manipulation (Can cause a massive shockwave to proceed an impact, launching opponents for a notable distance[3]), Electricity Manipulation (Can convert the clouds in the sky into lightning that strikes everything in sight,[3] or form a lightning bolt on the mental layer from the accumulated grief of those within an area, empowering beings such as Soothsayer in the process[12]), Summoning (Sufficiently compounded random events can cause a "space between dimensions" to emerge, bringing forth some form of sentient being which eclipsed the combined power of the Wife Beaters on Day 2[3]), Creation (Can cause materials produced by an attack to emerge in extreme excess, such as bursts of X and Gamma Rays covering miles of Hellcity after Xander used Strong Force, Starfire's flames consuming all random events nearby to propagate beyond his initial attack,[5] The Butcher of Streets' blood slash continuing to produce blood and stain the nearby area,[20] or Vladimir's electric punches propagating yet more electricity[14]), Smoke Manipulation (Can cause smoke to accumulate over a given target, blinding them through visual obscurement and burning their eyes[5]), Fire Manipulation (Can cause weapons to spontaneously combust[20]), Status Effect Inducement (Can create bubbles of crystalized moments in time, which burst to induce a variety of effects on those nearby[23]), Corrosion Inducement (Can release a liquid that melts anything it touches[18]), Portal Creation (Can rip a gash into space, funneling in objects and causing them to appear elsewhere[18]), Chaos Manipulation (Random Events are capable of destabilizing reality to make random events more likely, or reverting this effect[14]), Age Manipulation (Can cause everything within a certain radius to become far older and corroded[24])
Reality Warping, Physics Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Air Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Temperature Manipulation, Density Manipulation, Size Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Vector Manipulation, Plant Manipulation, Vibration Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Smoke Manipulation, Fire Manipulation Status Effect Inducement, Corrosion Inducement, Chaos Manipulation and Age Manipulation (Can withstand the effects of Random Events[2]), Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Life Manipulation, and Regeneration Negation (Can withstand and heal from the blows of other Triggers. Homewreckers are able to regenerate from Red Damage[25]), Poison Manipulation, Acid Manipulation and Radiation Manipulation, Biological Manipulation (Triggers are capable of resisting the effects of conventional weaponry, including a variety of chemical weapons, poisons, and radiation sickness,[2] and disobey the laws of biology to begin with[7] due to inhabiting the spiritual and mental layers simultaneously[4]), Void Manipulation (Triggers are capable of surviving exposure to Red Gashes, which are described as a total annihilation of "anything and everything"[9] that extends to every layer, including the Conceptual[11]), Statistics Reduction (Homewreckers are acclimated to Red Gashes and their weakening effects[25]), Telepathy (A Trigger's use of both the Mental Layer and their physical brain makes them difficult to read through interpreting either individually[7]), Power Nullification and Absorption (Can withstand the effects of Gash cracks, which are capable of absorbing energy and negating the effects of Unique Powers such as Silas' Cosmo Expansion or Blur's Temporal Shroud[21]), Time Manipulation (Warrane was capable of retaining consciousness and eventually moving his body out of stopped time, which was affecting a Gash that lacked time to begin with.[9] The Wife Beaters as a whole could also eventually overcome the effect, and were unaffected by the ensuing Temporal Rewind[21]), Probability Manipulation (Warrane was capable of withstanding Aisha's Unique Power,[3] which allows her to manipulate possible outcomes in order to pick favorable scenarios[7]), Immersion (Triggers are capable of defending against Mirror Man's ability to immerse themselves into the reflections of their eyes[8]), Explosion Manipulation (Blur was able to negate lower-end uses of[21] Warrane's Crunch, which spawns an otherwise indefensible explosion on top of a given target[26]), Pain Manipulation, Perception Manipulation (Triggers can resist Soothsayer's ability to induce these effects,[27] Shrouds provide immunity to sensory deprivation[4]) Absolute Zero (While nearly being brought to death, Warrane ultimately survived his entire body being brought to absolute zero temperatures, and eventually overcame the effect[5]), Illusion Manipulation (Triggers can resist the effects of Hellfire Inferno Blazing Starfire's Grand Mirage, which create illusions that can fool both mind and soul[7]), Precognition (Triggers are capable of resisting Xander Phoenix's ability to perceive their future actions[28]), Death Manipulation (Blur, Linton and Stevens were able to endure Penelope directly commanding them to die through her property inducement, only decomposing and ultimately failing to prevent them from fighting[19]), Paralysis Inducement (Penelope was initially only able to command Blur to stop for a fraction of a second before her resistances overcame it,[17] Triggers can resist Trail Mark, where Heinrich Richardson creates paralytic sound around a given target[7]), Information Analysis (Those with more complete shrouds are notably difficult to discern information from, even to Level 2s and their extreme sensory and mental capabilities[22])
Attack Potency: Large Town level (Froze large swaths of terrain at absolute zero with End of Days.[5] Was deemed an asset to a specialized squad made to kill Hellfire Inferno Blazing Starfire[7]), Country level with Burst (Freezes a 100 kilometer radius to Absolute Zero,[7] should be comparable to Warrane's Burst[26])
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Swifter than Starfire[7] and was able to fight alongside him against The Wife Beaters[5]), Massively Hypersonic+ with Flashstep (Allows Richardson to move five times as quickly by causing spatial distortions around his body[2])
Lifting Strength: Class G (Far superior to King Gizzard and his ability to manipulate pillars as dense as Osmium[8])
Striking Strength: Large Town level
Durability: Large Town level
Stamina: Superhuman (Triggers in general are inhumanly resilient, with even freshly awakened Triggers retaining consciousness through being impaled and serrated across their body, only to regenerate and continue fighting.[29] Withstood full body burns and being reduced to a near skeleton[5])
Range: Varies from Tens of Meters to Tens of Kilometers (His abilities range from Freeze Aura covering a 50 meter radius around him to Hypothermia being able to target an area within his line of sight, which can easily go up to this distance.[29] While exceeding a Kilometer of range requires proper aim, Energy Blasts also possess maximum range of the Trigger's line of sight[2]), Hundreds of Kilometers with Burst (Aurora Borealis extends across a 100 kilometer radius[7])
Standard Equipment: Freeze Aura Core (An item that sustains his freeze aura passively without any Energy investment on his part), Degraded Shroud
- Optional Equipment: Shadow Shroud
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Possesses S Rank Intelligence,[7] making him exceed Warrane Ambre in this regard)
Standard Tactics: Frostbite is the more technical fighter of the duo. While he is capable and willing to use high powered attacks to kill targets quickly, his primary tactics involve the steady accumulation of Frost, slowing and weakening targets until they're unable to continue functioning or proc his Burst, allowing him to win the fight overtime.
Weaknesses: The Freeze Aura Core is able to be easily destroyed with a well aimed attack. Is implied to possess a death wish by Starfire, supported further by him smiling in the face of grievous injury and even reacting near indifferently to a fatal blow.[5]

Notable Attacks/Techniques[]
- Freeze Aura: In a 50 meter radius, an aura of freezing is maintained. It not only takes away heat from whatever enters, but also creates an area of negative entropy where the air friction reduces the kinetic energy of enemy attacks significantly.
- Freeze Ray: Shoots a ray that freezes everything in range. Range of 400 meters, creates ice structures along it's path before making a massive block of ice on contact. Can shoot twice or make a sweeping motion. 25% chance of a Random Event.
- Hypothermia: Makes temperature around an area drastically lower, causing massive amounts of freezing. Can choose an area in view, and then freeze it. Radius of 50 meters, and inflicts such a severe frostbite that enemies caught within are disoriented. 33% chance of a Random Event
- Ice Mist: Make a freezing fog that covers 600 meters in radius, so thick that even Triggers are rendered effectively blind. 25% chance of a Random Event.
- Blizzard: Create a freezing storm surrounding enemies, dropping the temperature around a massive area. Radius of 700 Meters. 50% Random Event chance.
- End of Days: Shoot a massive wave of frost capable of reducing everything in its path to Absolute Zero. Range of 1.5 Kilometers, Guaranteed Random Event.
- Stone Cold: Creates structures of ice that can serve as a defensive measure, working even in cases where the knowledge of blocking was redacted from his mind by Soothsayer.
- BURST; Aurora Borealis: After dealing so much frost to a given target they are rendered completely unable to move, Frostbite is capable of releasing a massive burst of freezing Energy, reducing everything in 100 kilometers to temperatures below Absolute Zero.
