==Description==
An apprentice conservationist sent to the Northwest Territories, Josiah's limited experience nearly cost him his life when he was confronted by a mother polar bear protecting her cubs. True and foolish to his cause, Josiah prepared to die and refused to defend himself using his weapon in hand knowing how endangered these animals already were. Just as the bear closed distance with him, a strange wind would suddenly blow as an essence of Nanook possessed the bear and communicated with the human. Impressed with Josiah's soul, Nanook gifted him a spirit bow called the "Snow-Bird", which would imbue the human with supernatural powers! (Origin WIP).

'''Blessing of Nanook''' -
'''Blessing of Nanook''' - Josiah's powers originate from the blessing of Nanook, gifted to him in the form of a supernatural bow which contains an essence of the deity's power. Composed of a substance nicknamed "spirit-ice", the bow can be summoned and returned at will to and from what is understood as a "pocket realm of Nanook".

'''Spirit-Ice Armor''' -
'''Spirit-Ice Armor''' - Josiah's perceived costume is made of supernatural spirit-ice armor, which surrounds his body when the spirit-ice bow is activated. It provides supernatural durability against a variety of afflictions: preventing bullets from penetrating, protecting from temperature extremes and even providing protection against magic-based attacks, as examples.

'''Spirit-Ice Manipulation''' -
'''Spirit-Ice Manipulation''' - Josiah is capable of tapping into the supernatural power of this spirit-ice substance and manipulate it in a variety of ways beyond simply conjuring the spirit-ice arrows the bow utilizes as its base projectiles. Other uses include but are not limited to projecting shapes that are more blunt in nature, surrounding others with protective spirit-ice armor or assaulting localized areas with spirit-ice storms.

'''Dependence''' -
'''Dependence''' - Without the spirit-ice bow, Josiah possesses no superhuman powers or abilities on his own accord other than his idiosyncratic link with his weapon. While the great majority of outside sources have lack the ability to forcefully separate him from his weapon (physically or otherwise), it is still possible should said outside sources bare the power level of a deity that can match or exceed that of Nanook.

'''Power Depletion''' - The activated state (dawning spirit-ice armor) of the spirit-ice bow can only remain active for several hours at a time before its supernatural power must recharge.  Relating to this aspect, consistent damage inflicted on Josiah's armor will eventually wear it down.
