<div style="background-color:#315670; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:20px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''EARLY YEARS'''</div>
'''Glacis''' (real name '''Wesarax "Wes" Golgaz''') is a musician and part-time hero currently residing in Steel Canyon. Before he was born, Wes' parents fled from Hell to the mortal world. Dazreth, a bureaucrat, and Mojka, a gladiator, wanted a better life for their future child then they had wrapped up in Hell's society. Wes grew up among humans as a result, and knows very little about life in the underworld - he's not even sure if he'd be allowed in if he wanted to visit. He's grateful for a comfortable life in Paragon City, but he secretly yearns for a better understanding of his kind and where his family came from.
 
Growing up as both a demon and gay, Wes often joked that religious fundamentalists would spontaneously burst into flames near him. It also made him feel like an outsider somewhat, and he found solace with other outcasts, often doing less-than-legal things in school. Consequently, he has a criminal record, but it only contains one count of shoplifting he did as a teenager, and one count of underage drinking. However, something that kept him from going down a life of petty crime is his love of music. He started playing bass guitar in middle school, and the current bass he owns was a high school graduation gift from his parents. Their supportive and hard-working nature inspires him to be a better man, and he became a registered superhero at the age of 20, adopting the codename "Glacis".
 
<div style="background-color:#315670; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:20px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''PRESENT DAY'''</div>
Wes continues to live in his hometown, Steel Canyon, as an adult, having taken up residence in a small apartment. He currently juggles two jobs to pay the bills - crimefighting and playing bass at a hipster coffee shop called Espresso Lane. A recent interview he had on Good Morning Paragon brought some welcome attention to him as a musician. At a friend's suggestion, he's also decided to hire a talent agent, '''Ted Banks''' (a.k.a. the '''Mysterious Mr. Banks'''), who specializes in representing superheroes.
 
While crimefighting, he's a valuable ally on the battlefield with his ice powers, and he has very little patience for criminal groups that enslave or subjugate demons, like the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Recently, Wes has been recruited by a supergroup, '''[[The Ideals|<span style="color:#FFFFFF;">The Ideals</span>]]'''. It's the first time he's become an official member of a superhero team, and he's excited to see what he can accomplish with them.
</div>
 
<div style="border:5px solid #C0E8FC; margin:10px 0px; padding:10px;">
<div style="background-color:#416D8A; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:30px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''PERSONALITY'''</div>
Wes is an easygoing and mellow guy, if a bit quiet at times from his tendency to "zone out" when he relaxes. He tries to be a good listener, though, and is willing to lend an ear to any of his friends who need to vent. He's also flirtatious towards men he finds attractive, but his fear of commitment prevents him from pursuing serious romantic relationships, instead prefering to sleep around. However, he's decided to give dating a shot again, and is currently pursuing an open relationship with a good friend of his, '''Answerer''' (real name '''Branden Rhys''').


=Backstory=
In his spare time, he enjoys practicing on his bass, going to the gym, going out to bars and nightclubs, and occasionally pro wrestling. Wrestling is a new hobby for him, but he finds the gimmicks and costumes quite fun. He's currently training under a lucha libre legend, '''El Lone Lobo''' (real name '''Bruno Cortez'''), who has become one of his closest friends.
==Early years==
Wes' parents moved to the mortal world in hopes of giving their future child a better life than they had. So, as a result, Wes has lived among humans his whole life. He has never been to the underworld, and he's not even sure if he would be allowed in. He enjoys living on Earth, but can't help but yearn for a deeper connection with his fellow infernals.


==Present day==
Having been raised in Paragon City, his first language is English, and his accent is squarely in the region of "American skater dude". He can also speak his parents' native tongue conversationally, which is a Slavic-sounding dialect of an Infernal language.
Wes currently lives in Steel Canyon, and is trying to get his big break as a bassist. To pay the bills, he does hero work for city hall, and does a few odd jobs around town (mostly retail). Even though his identity should be obvious to anyone who knows him, he's taken up the codename "Glacis" while crimefighting. He is not currently affiliated with any supergroup.
</div>


=Personality=
<div style="border:5px solid #C0E8FC; margin:10px 0px; padding:10px;">
He's an easygoing and mellow guy, yet somewhat awkward around other demons since he doesn't know how to approach them. Naturally friendly, Wes likes helping people out, and is also a bit of a flirt to guys he finds attractive. However, he isn't sure whether he wants to commit to relationships just yet, and is fine with keeping things casual. In his spare time, he enjoys playing his bass guitar, wrestling, and going out to bars and nightclubs. He's currently training under a pro-wrestling legend known as '''El Lone Lobo''', who is also one of his closest friends.
<div style="background-color:#416D8A; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:30px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''PHYSIOLOGY'''</div>
The white ice-like markings on his chest, upper arms, stomach and back (shown in the gallery below) are often mistaken for tattoos, but they are actually a form of vitiligo characteristic to his people. His ears, horns and tail are also stark white. To those that can detect it, Wes doesn't read as any more unholy or sinful than a normal human would, despite being a full demon. As a result, celestial magic interacts with him in unusual ways. Spells intended to affect evil beings in general will have no effect on him, but ones that specifically affect demons will. Even then, the result will be unpredictable. For example, a banishment spell might send him to Steel Canyon instead of Hell. However, a comrade of Wes proved that a mage can summon him if they know his full name.

==Powers==
<div style="background-color:#416D8A; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:30px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''POWERS AND ABILITIES'''</div>
Due to his heritage, Wes is adept in ice and water manipulation, able to freeze and liquefy it with some effort. He is also resistant to extreme temperatures, with a tolerance for both hot and cold that surpasses that of humans.
<div style="background-color:#315670; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:20px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''ICE POWERS'''</div>
Due to his heritage, Wes is adept in ice and water manipulation, able to freeze and liquefy it with some effort. He is also resistant to extreme temperatures, with a tolerance for both hot and cold that surpasses that of humans. One notable application of his ice powers is that he is able to form a pair of skates under his feet using densely packed ice, allowing for higher mobility over ice. He's fairly adept at ice skating and other winter sports as well, from years of practice with his powers.


==Demonic magic==
His super suits, a creation of the folks at ICON, are made of ice-infused fabric that he can draw from if he's in a pinch.
He isn't entirely sure how to do actual demonic magic yet, but he can sometimes make the shadows around him move if he concentrates particularly hard. He'll have to work on that...


=Notes=
<div style="background-color:#315670; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:sans-serif; font-size:20px; padding:10px; text-align:center;">'''DEMONIC MAGIC'''</div>
* He speaks with a sort of laid-back "bro" tone.
Wes' powers are demonic in origin, since they run in the family, but he has noticed some differences from the ones his parents use. Theirs appear more explicitly magical, forming sigils and runes out of the ice's crystalline structures, while his appear to be more mundane ice crystals. He has some experience with hellfrost (an unfathomably cold counterpart to hellfire), but it's dangerous to use considering how little training he's had with it.
* His super suits are made of ice-infused fabric that he can draw from if he's in a pinch. He also keeps long spikes of ice wrapped around his arms, just in case.

BACKSTORY
EARLY YEARS

Glacis (real name Wesarax "Wes" Golgaz) is a musician and part-time hero currently residing in Steel Canyon. Before he was born, Wes' parents fled from Hell to the mortal world. Dazreth, a bureaucrat, and Mojka, a gladiator, wanted a better life for their future child then they had wrapped up in Hell's society. Wes grew up among humans as a result, and knows very little about life in the underworld - he's not even sure if he'd be allowed in if he wanted to visit.
