IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Jack Frost Age: 318 Canon: Rise of the Guardians Canon Point: Post ending. Species: Winter Spirit (Originally human) Gender: Male Orientation: Jack is shown to act fonder around Toothiana, the female of the group, similarly to a school crush. However, he isn’t shown to have a very strong orientation, so either.
History:Here. Appearance: originally here, but since his appearance ties in with his powers, he’ll look like he originally did while he’s here.
He's about 5'10" and his teeth sparkle "like freshly fallen snow". Personality: Upon a superficial glance, Jack Frost has been viewed as a havoc-wreaking troublemaker. As the Winter Spirit, Jack has many powers at his disposal. From playing pranks such as freezing someone's tongue to a fountain, to causing a disasterous blizzard of '68 that ended up making Easter a not-so-fun experience for a certain other guardian, Jack refuses to live by any rules or boundaries. There's a reason he held the record on the naughty list before he ended up becoming an official guardian. With his surprise snowball fights and a nature as seemingly freespirited as the wind he rides, Jack seems to embody the teenager who's a child at heart.
However, Jack has been a spirit for three hundred years, and in that time he has been unseen by humanity. Brought to life by the Man in the Moon (which for the future will be abbreviated as MiM), Jack was given only a snippet of information: his name. After that, Jack was left to his own devices, only to discover shortly later that people could not see him, could not hear him, and walked right through him like he was a ghost. Jack has had years to try and get someone, anyone, to see him, and many of his attention-seeking actions have put him on the Guardians' radar, but they're busy, and he isn't given much thought. Without any memories, he's developed an identity of his own, albeit one that leaves him feeling as if there's still much missing. Determinedly, stubbornly, he has never given up on trying to be seen. Despite his desire to be acknowledged, years of isolation and silence have left Jack to pretending, and eventually partially convincing himself that he does want to be alone. He isn't a loner by choice, even if he'd say otherwise. When he's suddenly met by a great deal of attention and interest from the other guardians, his first reaction is to reject them.
When it comes to how Jack acts around others, he's sarcasm and mischief bundled up into a mess of too hyper nerves. He has many quirks, and tends to be very expressive in his movements. When he's ecstatic, he'll jump around, swinging his fists and landing on surfaces most would find impractical. When he's down, he'll become a lot more subdued. His posture will shift to more of a slump. And, often normally, he'll appear laid-back, effortlessly graceful with a little theatrical flourish here and there. Undoubtedly, Jack's most important item to himself is his staff, and he can be found hugging it closely when he's unsure, and waving it as if it's an extension of himself when making mischief, or protecting children--and that's basically what it is.
He knows he likes games, finding genuine joy in making sure children have fun, even if they can't see him and know it's him. Beyond that, Jack doesn't have a strong sense of self, admitting to North that he doesn't know what his personal center would be, and when upon learning he can find his memories of who he was, is surprised, and eager to recover them. He's Jack Frost, and for a while that's all he knows. As a spirit who has been roaming the earth for 300 years, without any rules or responsibilities, Jack has interacted with the children more than any of the other Guardians, and therefore, understands better when it comes to interacting with them. Dying and becoming Jack Frost at only 17, his insecurities begin to make sense. One insecurity he struggles with during certain points is believing that all he does is make a mess, disappointing the ones he looks up to, the Guardians. This point is brought up by Pitch, and later on affirmed by Jack at his lowest moments. Jack's fears stem from being alone, and not knowing who he is or why he's here.
Still, Jack is the sort of person to make the best of what he has, possessing inner strength and sense of fun that is stronger than his insecurities. Jack is lonely, but still a very social person. As much as he wants to be acknowledged and seen, the happiness of everyone else comes before his own wishes. This is why he rejects Pitch's offer to join up with him; he doesn't want to be feared. And, of course, this is why he made a game out of saving his sister on the frozen lake, before falling into it as the ice broke apart himself.
And what better way to bring happiness than by having fun? Because that's what Jack is: The Guardian of Fun. It's when Jack realizes this and knows who he is, does he begin to flourish as a Guardian. While he begins to warm up to the Guardians before he regains his memories, he has an easier time getting closer to the others without feeling as if he's stumbled into a group he doesn't belong in when he realizes his purpose.
The Guardian of Fun, Jack has different facets to his personality, but also some simplicity at times. He'll leap in joy from just being seen, and now that he knows who he is, he's much more comfortable choosing a side, rather than sticking to his own neutral party. He might seem immature, and he is, and he'll annoy you and do all the pranks he can think of just for fun, but he also harbors a powerful wisdom. The best way to fight fear, is to have fun so it is no longer frightening. Abilities: Basically Jack has free reign over anything Winter or weather of that season related. He’s able to fly on the wind, conjure up snowballs without so much as a thought, and makes intricate, fernlike patterns of frost. He can make ice lightning. Also, because his center is fun, he’s able to actually put it into his snow. There’s a hint of blue magic when this happens. When his target is hit, they’re able to relax, and, well, have fun. He’s also an incredibly agile parkour artist, leaping from buildings and off of walls as if it’s nothing. Part of this agility definitely comes from his more supernatural powers, but as a human, he was shown to be quite agile too, climbing trees and such. Jack really doesn’t like simply standing on the ground. His wiki page also says he knows kendo. Other: N/A
Third Person: It was warm and it was bright. And Jack was getting restless. The whole suburbia thing never sat well with him. He didn’t like predictability, he didn’t like gates and how they closed everything off, making him feel trapped, keys or not. He had to laugh a little bitterly. He had spent his whole life not wanting responsibility, and now that he found one, he had been taken away to what felt like a set off of the Twilight Zone. He had caused trouble from the beginning, but as time went on, he did so more often, itching to escape, to fly off and go where he wanted. Since he couldn’t leave, he settled for the park.
Bare foot, he walked through the grass, every once in a while glancing at people playing, or jogging, or anything in between. He missed his snow. He felt like he was missing a limb, or an important piece of him. He missed the others. If he had his powers, the park would have been a practical wonderland by now, while any institutions would have been iced shut. For now, he flopped back in the grass, watching the clouds. It was both nice and disconcerting to be able to bask in the sun like this. He didn’t lie there for very long before he was bored with that and climbing up the branches of a tree. He let himself fall backwards, knees locking him in place. Someone was walking up to the tree, and as soon as Jack realized they were too absorbed in their own thoughts to notice him, he leaned down a little lower…a little lower…and got it! He grabbed the person’s hat, before tossing it in the air. He fought not to laugh as he watched whoever it was yell and run after it, finally chuckling a little when they were gone. He decided to keep doing this until he finally got someone’s attention. Go walk under him?
