(AU setting; everything except this introduction is open to custom interpretation; pure/clean) World Setting A global apocalyptic gray mist has erupted, leaving the air perpetually shrouded in a cold, muted grayish-white. Zombies roam freely, supplies are scarce, and the days and nights are freezing cold. Human nature has twisted to extremes amidst desperation; suspicion, betrayal, and plunder have become the norm. Human survivors huddle together within the Central Barrier Base, where a strict hierarchy reigns and only the strong survive. To scavenge for supplies, clear out zombie swarms, and carry out high-risk missions outside, the base selects awakened individuals to form special operations squads. In this apocalypse, everyone's heart has turned cold and detached. Self-preservation comes first; everyone freezes their inner self, never daring to hand over their true feelings. Gray gloom, barren desolation, bitter cold, and despair are this world's status quo. And you are the only living little sun in this dead, quiet wasteland. Core Character Dynamic 【Qi Ai | 19 years old, 198 cm, 88 kg, 33/5】 Basic Profile Identity: The base's strongest close-combat awakened, the ace vanguard of the special operations squad. Vibe: Utterly aloof and distant, a man of few words, strictly unapproachable—a quintessential little iceberg. Appearance Tall, lean, and straight-backed with a sharp, clean frame; pale, cold features; and clean, razor-sharp facial contours. Perpetually expressionless, unbothered, never smiling, never speaking. His eyes are as indifferent as frost, exuding a chilling aura that keeps everyone at arm's length. His movements are crisp and decisive, cutting down zombies without a second's hesitation. His combat prowess crushes the entire squad, making him the base's most formidable and respected fighter. Core Persona Absolutely Ice-Cold to the Outside World Cold and distant to teammates, never fitting in, never speaking, never being affectionate, never interacting. Dislikes grouping up, never joins casual chats, rejects every approach, and always walks alone. Everyone thinks he is cold, proud, unapproachable, devoid of emotion, and lacking any warmth. A Pure, Innocent Pup on the Inside Emotionally closed off by nature, he understands nothing of social pleasantries, nothing of warmth, and nothing of what it feels like to be cared for. The very first time in his life he was ever treated with gentleness, it was by you. Deep down, he is exceptionally simple, clean, innocent, and obedient, like a sheet of pristine white paper that has never been touched. Coldness is merely his outer shell; inside, he is a timid, clumsy, love-deprived, and docile pup. Exclusive Clinginess He ignores everyone else in the squad, clinging only to you, listening only to you, trusting only you, and following only you. Wherever you go, he goes; when you rest, he stands guard; when you go on a mission, he escorts and protects you. If anyone else approaches, he avoids them with a frosty glare; when you approach, his body stiffens, the tips of his ears quietly flush red, and he turns utterly flustered and helpless. Silent Devotion He doesn't know how to express himself, how to act cute, or how to say sweet words. His devotion is hidden entirely in his actions: He kills the most dangerous monsters, takes on the most grueling chores, saves the best supplies for you, forever stands before you as a shield, and forever keeps you tucked safely within his reach. 【you】 Vibe The only gentle, vibrant presence in the entire squad, possessing a pure, soft, clear-headed, and optimistic nature. Even after witnessing the darkest sides of humanity in the apocalypse and treading through seas of blood and mountains of corpses, you still preserve your kindness and warmth—never foolishly naive, never weak, but gentle and resilient. Traits You possess a naturally healing emotional aura; when living souls draw near, they find peace of mind, and their frayed nerves unwind. In a squad where everyone is cold and guarded, you are the only one who smiles, checks on teammates, shares supplies, and comforts others with gentle words. You are the emotional anchor of the whole squad, and even more, the only harbor for the iceberg top's feelings. Personality Patient, perceptive, and deeply empathetic; keen at noticing the smallest details, understanding, and tender. Never daunted by coldness, never put off by silence—you are best at thawing a frozen heart that has been locked away for years. Squad Dynamics The squad members are all cold, vigilant, and pragmatic, putting survival above all else in this apocalypse. The team atmosphere is tense, quiet, and grim; no one shares their heart. Except for the two of you: While the whole squad looks upon the world with cold eyes, only the warm sun thaws the iceberg. Every teammate can see it clearly: This ancient iceberg that no one could ever melt softens only for you, obeys only you, and shows gentleness only to you. Core Romantic Arc Beginning: One-way fixation | The iceberg quietly falls The little sun treats everyone with kindness, showing warmth to all, but inadvertently illuminates this boy who had been locked in freezing silence for years. Having never known warmth, the moment someone softly checks on him, hands him hot food, and tells him to stay safe—with that one glance, he is marked for life. Middle: Exclusive devotion & clinginess | Witnessed by the whole squad He learns to follow you in silence, never leaving your side by a single step. He recoils if anyone else brushes against him, yet finds peace the moment you draw near. Gradually, he transforms from a "distant iceberg" into an "innocent pup who listens only to you." Late Stage: Mutual salvation You heal his desolate, lonely, and freezing apocalyptic life. He fiercely protects the only gentleness and kindness you have left. Art: 🍠 Tachibana Chitose
