Julian was created for a few reasons. My two other "villains" are merely heroes in the Isles, so I wanted to try out an actual clean slate and no boundries. Besides that, I want to see what it would take to transform a semi-normal man into a super-powered, disfigured, disgruntled villain.

Powers
Since getting help from Archon X, Julian's powers have finally come to the surface. Able to manipulate the temperature of the air around him, aswell as the temperature of others. His ability to create and control ice has grown over the years to a reliable weapon. After these powers came into fruition, a gradual skin color change began. His skin became pale and his hands are extremely cold to the touch and have an icy blue hue accompanied by a light mist.
History
Anything that has or will happen to Julian that shapes him into who he'll become will be found here.
Pre-Isles
Normal Life
Julian was born into and raised by a normal family. He didn't do too well in school, and never managed to make it through high school. This didn't bother him much, as he took up a job as a dock worker. He eventually left home and moved someplace more accessible to work. While it was completely isolated and he knew nobody, it was peaceful.
The Stroud Family
While working at the docks, Julian met a co-worker by the name of Tim Stroud. The two became good friends, to the point Tim introduced him to the his two brothers, whom which he lived with. Julian, over the course of a few years, had practically become part of the family. Life was at it's peak for Julian at this point, though that was all about to go down the drain.
Murder Witness/Exile
Late one February night, Julian had to return to the Stroud house to pick up his wallet he left while visiting earlier. As he came up to the house he heard men shouting, two voices recognized as Tim and his brother John. He then heard what was easily identified as two silenced pistol shots. Looking in the window, a man was seen laying on the ground , dead, and John with a pistol in hand.
He ran to call the police, but was knocked out. He awoke to see an enraged John threatening to kill him for being a backstabber, but Tim managed to calm him down and came up with a different solution: leave town and never speak of anything he saw.
He took up the offer and never saw either again. Taking what cash he had available, he obsessively seeked a new place to live. The Rogue Isles, as they were called, had property value ridiculously low, and plenty of docks to go right back to his old ways at.
Rogue Isles
Settling In
After arriving at the Isles and finding a cheap but dismal place to live, Julian tried to go back to dock-working. However, the abundance of Coralax and other threats around the waterways made this nearly impossible without means to defend himself. He now has to take any minor odd job he can find, mostly just deliveries.
Archon X
Julian had only heard about Archon X through an article, but knew instantly that they'd be able to help him develop whatever abilities were lying within him. After his initial visit, spending nearly all of his cash, and a waiting period that seemed to drag on forever, he finally got his specially tailored device that served as an "on switch" for his powers. Julian keeps up a monthly visiting schedule to further his abilities.
Jail Time
After agreeing to help a group of people on a "low profile" job, Julian got caught up in a bank robbery gone wrong before he had time to see what was actually going on. Entirely out of their league, they were all brought down in no time at all. Despite not actually having done anything, Julian was still at the wrong place at the wrong time, and was brought in without struggle. He was sent to prison and calmly did his time, and was eventually released early due to good behavior and a lack of evidence of committing any actual crime. However, upon his release, his device purchased from Archon X was no longer available to him. Officials claimed it was misplaced, whether that was true or not remains to to be seen.
One Year Later
Julian's stint in prison served as a wake up call for him, and he dropped off of the radar. He picked up various small jobs working as a janitor here or a courier there. His condition slowly worsened but he decided to ignore his growing powers, and live as normally as possible in a place like the Isles. This was his life for about ten months out of prison, until he started having an itch to use his powers. Julian tried to satisfy this by freezing small things like bottles of water or food, but it wasn't enough. A recurring dream showed him that he was growing the undeniable urge to use his powers against others.
