Bobby Drake

[Fate]

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. - Thomas Jefferson

---

Bobby Drake, aka the Iceman, king of cool....well, in his head anyway.

At least he's got himself a good gig, of a sort, working for the media tycoon Guido Carosella.

It's a great job, and many people would kill to have it... well that's what he tells himself anyway. It can get interesting - he gets to photograph and interview some of the world's most influential people, from actors and media celebrities, to leading scientists like Dr. McCoy to even, on occasion, royalty.

Of course, on the flip side, there's the times when Guido seems to forget just what Bobby's job is. He sends him to do menial tasks like making smoothies - but the bad must come with the good, and boy can his job get good.

[Bobby Drake]

Name: Robert Drake
Age: 18 Height: 5'11" Weight: 160 lbs Eyes: Blue Hair: Auburn
Physical Description: On the slender side, Bobby Drake has kind of a wiry build. He works out just enough to make himself thing he's the shiznit, but in this world he doesn't go through extensive training like he did when there was such a thing as Xavier's Institute. Little secret though...in ice form he embellishes. Everything.
Personality: Cool as a cucumber. That's what he would say anyway. Bobby is more or less a good guy, though he's kind of full of himself (among other things). He loves his job, and through his job you get to see his annoying, ruthless and mischievous sides all at once.
Powers: Ice ice, baby. Bobby creates ice. He makes things cold. He can form and shape the ice, and even cover his entire body with the ice. He learned how to do that ice slide thing, and just loves making it into a surfboard where he can travel at great speeds through the air. In ice form he has a level of protection against blunt force, and it hurts like a biyatch to get punched by him.
Other Abilities: Street smarts. At least he likes to think so. Bobby spends a lot of time out in the streets, trying to get pictures of the princesses in their underwear, or trying to get the inside skinny on who Princess Wanda is doing these days. All valuable information, and all puts him in contact with a variety of people on the streets. Bobby is the inside man.
Limitations: He's probably never going to be accused of being the sharpest tool in the cookie jar. On a scale where genius stood on one side and retard on the other, Bobby probably falls somewhere near the other. Additionally, his powers tire him out if he uses them continually. It takes a lot of energy to freeze the water molecules in the air!
Originally From: Rochester, New York
Known Family:
Hobbies and Pastimes: Listening to rap music, going to strip clubs, spending lots of money on the latest mainstream gangsta image clothing.

Background: Bobby grew up in Rochester, New York blah blah blah. The real action didn't start until the day he applied for a job with the media circus. Interviewed by Guido Carosella himself, Bobby must have made quite an impression!

Either that or they were really desperate.

Now Bobby accompanied by Tiffany and AJ sometimes make their way through the city to try and get the inside skinny on daily life. There are a few targets out there that are primo. Unfortunately they aren't always easy to track down info on.

The truth? Maybe with slight embellishments. Just to make things interesting.
