Snowcone

BACK TO CHARACTERS INDEX

Snowcone is a minor character in Ascent: Trials of Vore. He is a giant snowman and close friend of Double G - also assisting Mordium, the Overseer of the 3rd Floor of the Tower.

He first appeared in Floor 3 - Greed and Glory, serving as the intended final boss the 3rd Floor's trial before he was interupted by the "Chocolate Girl".

He last appeared on the 3rd Floor.

Appearance
Snowcone appears to be a giant snowman, standing at around 18 feet tall. The big ball of snow that makes up his body sports 3 big black buttons, and he has a pair of large, snowy "nubs" for hands. His head appears to be decorated with a big blue bowtie, big black tophat, a twin-toothed mouth, a carrot nose and robotic eyes, the last of which are completely black save for his white, dot-like pupils.

Snowcone seems to carry a pair of miniguns in his nub hands that are capable of being deployed at a moment's notice. Each minigun sports 7 spinning barrels, all of which are volleyball-sized.

Personality
As an individual, Snowcone is best described as deadly but kindhearted. While he is undoubtedly a friendly, kind individual who can be easily startled and confused by unexpected occurrences, he has also been shown to be a ferocious, almost unstoppable force when enraged, often relentless and even acting in excess against those who has earned his scorn.

Background
At an unknown time in their home universe, Double G would take on the responsibility of running a shop, though it is unclear if Snowcone came with the shop or if Double G knew him prior to this. Regardless, they would become close friends. (Floor 3 - Greed and Glory)

3rd Floor
Prior to the arrival of Ashley Gray on the 3rd Floor of The Tower, Snowcone would be present when Double G would - via phonecall - be invited by Mordium - Overseer of the 3rd Floor - to temporarily help him out in the 3rd Floor trial due to some difficulties with the shop being broken, Double G agreeing to do out of a mix of boredom and some manner of disease supposedly making him antsy, though it would take Snowcone calling attention to it to make him admit that. Double G would accept on the condition it was livestreamed for he and Snowcome to watch at a later time, taking Mordium's usual side role of running the trial's shop, and seemingly bringing Snowcone along to help as well.

Snowcone would not be seen until the finale of the trial, however, where the current group of climbers - consisting of Ashley Gray, Syl], [[Nuon, Ferra, Ogborth and Crow - would return to the arena one final time, Mordium introducing the group to a winter wonderland of ice, snow and trees, and their opponent Snowcone - who would initially seem to be only a fixture of the arena before attention was drawn to him, though several climbers would be suspicious of him - alongside it.

The clash would be interrupted, however, as, from a blue-orange portal forming in the arena, a strange, slimy chocolate ‘woman’ - complete with absurd curves - would emerge, smiling darkly. The intruder would punch away a startled and confused Snowcone - unprepared for the arrival and slamming into the far wall, then the floor, as a result - and dealing heavy damage to the climbers, the most unfortunate being Crow, who would be swallowed by the interloper. Furious over the attack on Snowcone, Double G would empty copious shotgun and minigun blasts from his transforming weapon into the terrified chocolate woman, damage dealt faster than it could reform. Snowcone - aided by Mordium - would soon recover from the attack - albeit after the entity had thrown Ferra at him, knocking him down again for a time - and join the overseer in this onslaught, reducing the woman to shattered chunks of icy chocolate, first by freezing with icy breath, then slamming it with a physical blow.

Snowcone would return to the shop with the group after what would feel like an hour despite being only 10 minutes, witnessing Mordium apologize to them once they had calmed. Having never intended them to face something so dangerous, he wouldn't be forcing them to rematch Snowcone, who would also be apologetic over what had transpired. In Mordium's eyes, all still present had passed the floor. Unfortunately, Crow had fallen in battle. Though his body was recovered, he had been turned into a chocolate statue. A dazed Ferra would be brought to her senses through Nuon’s magic and Mordium’s ibuprofen, the latter advising the frogwoman - and everyone else - to take a nap, as by that time it was 1am and the trial had been going for almost 40 hours. Double G would allow the group access to an adjacent, luxurious set of hotel rooms to sleep in. Snowcone, at this time, would seemingly return to Double G's shop upstairs.

Snowcone would next appear when Double G took the elevator up to his store front. He would check on Snowcone there - resting on a pedestal near the store's entrance - to make sure he was okay, both stating their disappointment at not being able to show off how powerful Snowcone was, after which Double G would step outside. Snowcone's actions beyond this point are unknown. (Floor 3 - Greed and Glory)

Abilities

 * Immense Durability: Snowcone has been shown to be an immensely durable and hardy being, able to tank powerful attacks without much diffculty or injury. The best example of this was how he was able to take massive amounts of punishment from the Chocolate Girl with very little damage to show for it, getting up again afterward to counter her without even seeming to have been slowed down beyond the initial shock. Despite this durability, however, he has been shown not to be immune to being startled or knocked down, even if he rises again after a short time.
 * Immense Strength: Snowcone has been shown to be an incredibly strong entity, able to deal out powerful and possibly even excessive levels of force when angered. The clearest example of this was his ability to put enough physical force behind a blow against the at the time frozen Chocolate Girl to shatter it into chunks, able to do so despite previous having been knocked down by the same creature.
 * Icy Breath: Snowcone has been shown to possess breath cold enough to freeze fluids or melted solids, such as the chocolate of the Chocolate Girl. When frozen, these things have been shown to be made incredibly brittle, something Snowcone has been seen to use to his advantage alongside his immense strength.

Equipment

 * Twin Miniguns: Snowcone carries a pair of powerful miniguns with him at all times, seemingly as part of his partially robotic anatomy, given that they are deployed from his nub-like hands. Each minigun has 7 barrels, all of which are volleyball-sized. The fire from Snowcone's weapons of choice have proven to be incredibly destructive to even the most malleable of entities, the Chocolate Girl being a good example of this.

Friends

 * "Double G": Double G is Snowcone's close companion, as well as his best friend. They have a close relationship, as shown by Double G understanding Snowcone despite his limited speech. Double G seemed excited to see Snowcone show off, was disappointed when he didn't get too, and was outright enraged to the point of violence when the Chocolate Girl attacked his best friend. Most of these traits seem to be reciprocated by Snowcone, as well.
 * Mordium: Beyond their shared acquaintance with Double G, the exacts of Snowcone and Mordium's relationship are not entirely clear. Mordium seemed confident enough to allow Snowcone to serve as the final boss of the 3rd Floor trial on at least once occasion, however, and Snowcone seemed willingly to fight alongside the overseer when the Chocolate Girl interrupted its trial round.
 * The Morcels: Though they have had no shown direct interactions, Snowcone and the Morcels are presumed to be allied through their shared association with Double G.

Enemies

 * "Chocolate Girl": Snowcone was - quite understandably - furious at the Chocolate Girl for attacking him, tearing into it with first its miniguns, then a more physical approach, in order to subdue it. In that sole encounter, he appeared to have nothing but disdain for the being. The entity in turn - despite initially being confident in its superiority over the snowman - seemed genuinely scared of Snowcone once he began acting openly against it.

Others

 * Ashley Gray: Ashley was wary and even fearful of Snowcone, at first, largely stemming from his intended role as the final opponent of the 3rd Floor trial. However, following the Chocolate Girl's interruption and attack on Snowcone, followed by his, Double G's and Mordium's relentless retaliation, Ashley, like the others, seemed thankful for the overseeing group saving her from being eaten, though how this affected her specific view of Snowcone is unclear, as is Snowcone's opinion of Ashley.
 * Syl: Syl was wary and even fearful of Snowcone, at first, largely stemming from his intended role as the final opponent of the 3rd Floor trial, though she was suspicious of the snowman even before that reveal. However, following the Chocolate Girl's interruption and attack on Snowcone, followed by his, Double G's and Mordium's relentless retaliation, Syl, like the others, seemed thankful for the overseeing group saving her from being eaten, though how this affected her specific view of Snowcone is unclear, as is Snowcone's opinion of her in return.
 * Ferra: Ferra was wary of Snowcone, at first, largely stemming from his intended role as the final opponent of the 3rd Floor trial. However, following the Chocolate Girl's interruption and attack on Snowcone, followed by his, Double G's and Mordium's relentless retaliation, Ferra, like the others, seemed thankful for the overseeing group saving her from being eaten, though how this affected her specific view of Snowcone is unclear beyond him having broken her chocolate being induced airtime. Snowcone's opinion of Ferra in turn is equally as unclear.
 * Nuon: Nuon was surprised by Snowcone, at first, largely stemming from his intended role as the final opponent of the 3rd Floor trial. However, following the Chocolate Girl's interruption and attack on Snowcone, followed by his, Double G's and Mordium's relentless retaliation, Nuon, like the others, seemed thankful for the overseeing group saving her from being eaten, though how this affected her specific view of Snowcone is unclear, as is Snowcone's opinion of Nuon.
 * Ogborth: Snowcone and Ogborth had few direct interactions with each other, though Ogborth seemed to appreciate Snowcone - alongside Mordium and Double G - saving the group from the "Chocolate Girl". Snowcone's opinion of Ogborth in turn is unclear.
 * Crow: Snowcone and Crow had essentially no interactions with each other beyond Snowcone's introduction, as the "Chocolate Girl" would interrupt the encounter almost immediately, Crow meeting his end not long after. Thus both Snowcone's opinion of Crow - and vice versa - is unclear.
