What If:
Originally, Phrono was born into a Glace-Merfolk family but was unable to regulate his frost magic as a newborn and needed a spell to turn his ice magic into fire magic in order to live. THIS is a version where he was born as a Glaceman without those difficulties. He became more prideful of his Glacefolk-heritage and often looked down on those without natural ice powers. Because of this, he never really rose high in the ranks but he did not care what rank he was. He could easily wipe the floor with any low life no matter if they out ranked him or not.

This was an idea brewing for a long while. I wanted to work on it but never knew how to go about it. I did add it to the string of ideas but the "What If" last year really pushed me to do this. Coming up with an attire for him was hard but ended up landing on something that feels similar but much different. That's what I really take away from this the most in a very positive way: It feels like Phrono but you can recognize the differences! Hopefully I can keep this as an annual theme.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا ١٣

For they used to be prideful among their people,

إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ ١٤

thinking they would never return ˹to Allah*˺.

* Allah is Arabic for “God”, not exclusive to Muslims

[Quran: Al-Inshiqaq 84:13-14]

ٱللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعٌۭ ٢٦

Allah gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. And the disbelievers become prideful of ˹the pleasures of˺ this worldly life. But the life of this world, compared to the Hereafter, is nothing but a fleeting enjoyment.

[Quran: Ar-Ra’d 13:26]
