Kelvin is a dedicated, undead scientist with a bevy of freezing abilities to slow his enemies and heal allies. He can conjure an Ice Path under his feet for faster movement for himself and his team, throwing Frost Grenades and firing his Arctic Beam at nearby enemies to set them up for his companions' attacks. Tactical usage of his Frozen Shelter ice dome can protect and heal allies while trapping hapless opponents.
As an adventuring scientist, Kelvin was particularly excited for rumours of an 8th Astral gate opening in the Arctic, developing an expedition to hunt for it. However, something went wrong with the expedition, vanishing into the snow and leaving Kelvin's frozen, animate body to be discovered over a year later.
Abilities
Throws a grenade that explodes in a cloud of freezing ice, damaging and slowing enemies.
Kelvin creates a floating trail of ice and snow that gives movement bonuses to him and his allies. Kelvin gains 60% slow resistance for the duration. Enemies can also walk on the floating trail. Press [Roll] / [Crouch] to travel up or down while in Ice Path.
Shoot freezing cold energy out in front of you, damaging targets and building up movement and fire rate slow against them the longer you sustain the beam on them. You have reduced movement speed while using Arctic Beam.
Kelvin freezes the air around him, creating an impenetrable dome around himself. While in the dome, allies rapidly regenerate health and enemies are slowed.
Background
“A FATE'S TALE:
A famed adventuring scientist, Kelvin made it his life’s mission to explore and understand the unknowable. So naturally when rumors surfaced regarding an 8th astral gate hidden in the arctic, Kelvin couldn’t build an expedition team fast enough. Assembling the brightest minds of his generation, Kelvin and his team set forth with much fanfare.
They never returned.
A year and a half later the frozen body of Kelvin was found by a fishing trawler, his corpse clutching a rock etched with glowing runes. The crew chipped away at the ice, looking to get a closer look at the body and were shocked when Kelvin opened his eyes. They checked his vitals… there was no pulse. They sought to bandage his open wounds… there was no blood. And yet, impossibly, Kelvin was "alive".
Having no memory of what happened on the expedition, Kelvin is looking for answers.
