Polar Shift

Overview

Polar Shift (old, Fire Sword now fixed)

Polar Shift was orphaned when a tragic avalanche buried her parents' cabin. She barely survived by becoming one with the bone chilling ice, changing her life forever.

Heroes find her in the following missions:

• In the Mayhem Mission, Rob Atlas Park bank as a Boss (Levels 5-10)
• In the Alignment Mission, 'I don't care. I want her dead!', as a Captive (Levels 30-39)
• In the Alignment Mission, A Biting Wind, as a Hostage (Levels 40-50).

Vigilantes find her in the following missions:

• In the Alignment Mission, Flambeaux's Social Network Page, as a Boss (Levels 20-29)
• In the Alignment Mission, The Nemesis Meme, as an Ally (Levels 30-39)
• In the Alignment Mission, 'I don't care. I want her dead!', as a Captive (Levels 30-39)
• In the Alignment Mission, A Biting Wind, as a Boss (Levels 40-50).
• In the Alignment Mission, The Two-Timing-Twirler, as an Ally (Levels 40-50).

Villains find her in the following missions:

• In the Alignment Mission, Emergency Radio Broadcast, as a Boss (Levels 40-50)
• In the Alignment Mission, Taper Of The Frozen Flame, as a Boss (Levels 40-50)

Rogues find her in the following missions:

• In the Alignment Mission, Under-the-Table Job, as an Escort (Levels 20-29).
• In the Alignment Mission, Emergency Radio Broadcast, as a Captive (Levels 40-50)
• In the Alignment Mission, Hello? Bonjour? Ciao? HOLA?!, as a Boss (Levels 40-50).
• In the Alignment Mission, Taper Of The Frozen Flame, as a Boss (Levels 40-50)

Although Polar Shift does not appear personally, she is mentioned in a clue in the Villain branch of A Long Line of Spirits (Levels 30-39).

Although Polar Shift does not appear in the Vigilante branch of Noise Within Noise, the Longbow base full of Nemesis Automatons shows that her paranoid ramblings in 'I don't care. I want her dead!' are not entirely unfounded in reality.

Alignment

Polar Shift begins as a hero, but falls into villainy after being driven to a mental breakdown by Lord Nemesis's automatons.

Despite her crimes, Polar Shift appears to take no joy from her new role, adopting a fatalistic view that there is no point trying to save a world that is already doomed.

Polar Shift appears to be friends (or at least allies) with Flambeaux, with whom she shares a linked destiny. They can be seen working together both before and after succumbing to villainy.

Quotes

Polar Shift's "The Nemesis Meme" clue

Polar Shift nearly collapsed at your feet when you rescued her. Her eyes were red and worn, as if she hadn't slept for weeks.

Who is real, Character? Are you real? Because they attacked you and me? Does that make you real? Are any of us real? Am... -I- real?!

Despite that, Polar Shift seems balanced enough for now to fight by your side.

Polar Shift's "A Biting Wind" dialogue

Polar Shift: I get no joy from this. I just want to ease this world's suffering.

Polar Shift: Perhaps I am seeking a way to end my own suffering...maybe I can make a difference in another way. Thank you for this, Character.
