Snow, Blood, and Hell
Born in an unknown universe in an unknown time period, Stephen hails from a world in which winter had set in but never left. Leading to a frozen world with 85% of all life dying on the surface. Before the freeze, Stephen was known through out his homeland as an Engineer who created revolutionary weaponry and machines for both war and farming purposes. While his weapons and machines would not lead to the never-ending winter, they would end up playing a part in it as the break of war caused the planet to eventually fall into the winter. Entire towns froze overnight on the night of the freeze with millions dying within the first few hours. Stephen had prepared before hand for any major event, and was able to mostly avoid dying on the first night.

Black and White Luck
Stephen would end up surviving months after the initial freeze, but over time he would begin to run out of materials to survive forcing him out of his sanctuary into the freezing temperatures. The temperatures had dropped below anything ever recorded during his time on his home planet, with the numbers of -137F/-93C becoming common temperatures across the planet. While exploring the frozen wastelands, he would occasionally find small settlements of barely surviving people and would often trade with them. While traveling to a nearby settlement, Stephen looked into the sky to see a meteor fly across the darkened sky. The meteor quickly crashed into a forest only a few miles away, and so once he had gathered materials from the settlement he was traveling to, he decided to begin a journey to the meteor's site. Stephen walked day and night for what he counted as three weeks due to how thick the snow and ice had piled up alongside rubble. Eventually, he arrived at the meteor and set up camp in a nearby cave to prevent freezing to death. After setting up camp, Stephen explored the crashed meteor and gathered samples of the black-inky substance surrounding the site.

The Turning
On his third day of exploring and gathering materials from the crash site, he was attacked by a group of survivors whom had also followed the meteor in hope of finding valuable materials to sell or use. The survivors had set up positions within the forest prepared to ambush Stephen with the intent to kill. As Stephen left the cave to collect more from the meteor, he was frightened as bullets hissed by him from his blind spots. After the first shot, Stephen grabbed one of his bags full of black-inky samples alongside his rifle before making a dash for it through the forest. The men chased after Stephen, striking his leg and glazing his head. With his leg being injured, Stephen crawled and hid behind a tree as the men began to approach. He loaded a clip into his rifle before leaning around the tree and opening fire on the men whom expected him to be too weak to fight back. Stephen would end up killing most of the men, with a few escaping back to his camp. Stephen, laying against the tree in the snow, began to black out as the freezing temperatures froze his blood and entered his body. He hadn't noticed, but the samples in his bag had been breached, but protect him from more fatal wounds. Sensing his death approaching, the inky liquid in the samples began to cover Stephen before completely consuming his form.

Unexpected Hope
Hours after being consumed by the inky liquid, Stephen woke up covered in a thick layer of snow but still alive despite having been previously injured and sat in freezing temperatures. He dug himself out of the snow finding that his leg was still injured in a way, but instead of being human flesh it was an inky semi-solid liquid. Using the remaining strength he had, Stephen stood up using his rifle as a cane and began to loot what he could from the bodies of the men behind him. The men had frozen hours ago and were hard to the touch while being a deep blueish-white, but still kept they're weapons in their cold dead hands. Stephen would end up only recovering a shovel, which he used as a cane instead of his rifle as it worked better and wouldn't risk damaging his only protection. Stephen would also acquire a gasmask from one of the dead men in an attempt to hide his disfigured and empty face. While still being able to use all of his senses including talking and seeing, he had no face or human flesh left as all that remained was the black inky semi-solid that had encompassed him. He would eventually form his face using his new powers gained by the substance. After looting the men and regaining his strength, he began to wander back to his camp through the snow following what remained of his bloody trail. Eventually Stephen would arrive back at the meteor but found his camp ransacked and destroyed. Feeling anger towards the men whom had attacked him, Stephen began hitting against the now ice covered meteor. The mix of anger and sadness caused by the event would lead to him opening a portal entirely by accident and falling through the portal into a realm with every universe viewable. During this travel, he passed 4 other travelers heading to the same place as him. All of the travelers had the same Inky substance on them making up most of their bodies.

The Arrival
After some time of traveling through the portal, the travel would end abruptly with a portal opening into Rathnir with him falling through into a thick snowy area. Getting up and gathering his materials that had flown off due to the rough landing, he began to wander and would eventually find a road which would lead him eastern into what he would later find out to be a nation named "Paloro". He would end up being sent back over the border into where he had arrived from, known as "Aurora", and would live in secret after building a shack in the dense snow filled forests.
