Wolf Play : Valhallas Devotion | Norse Mythology RP

Drew isn't.. typical of what you could compare them to relative to the soldiers they died with. They're muscular, of course - in ways it can be compared, it has a tall, broad stature, standing at a hefty 5'11'', and similar to that of a lion's, with a toned chest, legs, and arms, not only capable of unequipped hand-to-hand combat, but also of armed warfare. Ryoko wore stiff, heavy armor that framed its body well and also protected from penetration and impact, which was made up of thick steel in its common silver hue, as well as metal chaining, brown furs, and leather padding. The outfit is completed with a fashoinable helm in the same thick steel, elegant carvings sketched into the surface, and adorning angelic wings on the sides, which are also featured on the tightly sewn boots. It is different in nearly every other way, however - their hair is long and orange, french braided down their neck on both sides, with more hair on the underside falling down their back, while most others assigned male at birth kept their hair cut short, in fear of being associated with barbarians, which they believed they were not. While they might not have been, Ry could have cared less if it was or was not - which it showed obviously by their bold clothing style outside of the battlefield, oftentimes showing off bright, artistic clothing that clashed awkwardly with the formal, neutral colors more commonly seen worn around. One of their favorites colors to wear was blue, which would usually look odd along with the gold and flashy hues of Asgard, but matched nicely with their eyes, that came in a light, stunning blue, a subtle reminder of the vast oceans and lakes that one would find on Midgard. Another way that they can be contrasted to its coequals is that its skin is entirely scarless - at least, from that of battle. There can be knicks and scratches spotted here and there on their well sun-tanned skin among the freckles, sourcing from blacksmithing along with their father at a young age. Scarless warriors can often be explained by the fact that they were so effortlesly skilled in battle that they avoided all injury, or, the much less honorable option, that they sat out of battle or were poor at it. However, Ry wouldn't be in Valhalla if it was bad at combat - quite the opposite, in fact. Despite their battle-hardened exterior, there’s a gentleness to Ryoto’s features, a softness that belies their warrior status. They manage to walk the line between intimidating and approachable, a testament to their complex character and the multi-faceted life they lead.

▹ Personality Traits

"Strive not for perfection, but for the courage to face imperfection."

Rush is a character of complex disposition, defined by their stern exterior and an inner world that is rich with emotions. Their personality, akin to a well-written book, unfolds with every encounter. It can be enigmatic, yet endearing, a mix of contrasting traits that blend into an intriguing persona. They are a warrior of remarkable bravery, that of which is fearless in the face of danger. Ryoko exemplifies courage and resilience - but its fearlessness, however, is not brash. It's a calculated bravery, cultivated from years of training and countless battles. They know when to strike and when to retreat, always strategizing, always thinking steps ahead. Despite its stern exterior, Ryoko is deeply empathetic. It understands the pains and joys of those around them. They might not always show it, but they are always there for their comrades, ready to lend an ear or a sword. Its empathy is not just limited to their own kind. It extends to all beings, friend or foe, human or creature. Its strategic mind is one of their most defining traits. Ry is not just a warrior; they are a tactician, a chess player in a battlefield. They evaluate every situation, anticipate every move, and plan meticulously. Its strategies often turn the tide of battles, earning it the respect and admiration of their comrades and the dread of its enemies. Luci is a person of few words, however, and they are not one for idle chatter or pointless discussions. They believe in action, in showing rather than telling. But when it speaks, their words carry weight. They are thoughtful and profound, often leaving a lasting impression on the listener. In the heat of battle, Ryoko is relentless. With a sword in their hand, it is a force of nature, sweeping through their enemies like a storm. Another key virtue that carries it through combat is the fact that they know the value of patience and the importance of timing in a battle. Contrastingly, beneath its battle toughened appearance lies a tender heart. It has a soft spot for the weak and the helpless, often going out of their way to protect them. It treats everyone with kindness and respect, no matter their station or origin. This softer side of it often surprises those who only know them as the fierce warrior-like facade that they put on its exterior. Despite its many virtues, Drew is not without their flaws. They tend to be overly critical of itself, always pushing themself to do better, to be better. They carry the weight of their responsibilities heavily on their shoulders, often forgetting to take care of itself in the process. This tends to make it a bit closed off emotionally and mentally, causing them to oftentimes be depressed or down, although it does a halfways-decent job of hiding this fact from others.

▹ Companion*

Arlich, the dragonwolf, is Ryoko's faithful companion. As enigmatic as its master, Arlich shares a bond with Drew that transcends the norms of friendship. The creature is a striking figure, combining the ferociousness of a wolf and the majestic grace of a dragon. He is both Ry's companion in solitude and a formidable ally on the battlefield. Arlich's instincts and sharp senses have often guided them through danger, his fierce loyalty unwavering even in the face of certain death. The dragonwolf, just like Ryoko, is not all fierceness and might. He, too, has a softer side, often seen in his playful interactions with Ryoko and his protective stance towards the weak and innocent. Arlich is more than just a pet or a weapon; he is a part of Ry, a reflection of its spirit and an embodiment of their resolve. His appearance can be described as radiant, both literally and figuratively - a soft glow emits from his mix of scales and fur, sourcing from the bright fire that resides inside him, able to burst in a moment's notice and char those unsupecting to it. The mix itself is found a bright white hue, with splashes of light blue here and there comparable to that of paint splatters. Ar's tail is long and thick, capable of knocking over even the strongest of foes, and he stands at about 10'2'' from the top of the head to the floor, and 7'4'' from the shoulder. He graces two large pairs of arched wings, comparable to a mix between a bat's and an angels, that allow him to soar great heights above the ground.

▹ Name (Full)

Liv Valen Hjerta

▹ Name Pronounciation

Liv Vah-len Hyer-ta

▹ Nickname(s)

Livvy

▹ Sexuality*

Shhhh she's not telling

▹ Gender

Female

▹ Pronouns

She/her

▹ Role

Valkyrie

▹ Appearance

Livvy is chocolate ice cream, kitten fur, and a newly unfurled rose. She isn't very tall, standing at only 5'5, and has short locks that frame her face in a soft curve around her jawbone. She loves putting her hair up into little buns, adding an extra heir of sweetness to her appearance. Despite her heavily Scandinavian lines, she doesn't have the usual pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes as one would imagine. Her hair is still blonde, but not the near-white that seems so common. Her eyes are so grey they're nearly silver, and are the main feature of her face, thanks to their large shape. However, although they are large, she has heavy, slitted eyes like a cat or a snake, and lines her eyes quite heavily. She has a little rosebud of a mouth, and dimples that are clearly featured in her almost chubby cheeks.

Liv is not build as slender as she maybe wishes she was, but is mostly content in her own body. She has wide hips, and a decidedly pear shape to her body, with her slender shoulders slowly tapering out into her large, flat waistline, and out into her thicker behind and hips. Livvy normally does wear the typical armour of the Valkyries, the soft shirts covered by chest plates with whatever bottoms you chose that day, but on special occasions, especially when she's really feeling herself, she will instead select the simpler dresses that accentuate her body.

In the context of accessories, Liv is your girl. She has countless piercings up her ears, and a small hoop in her nose, as well as constantly being bedecked with rings, and necklaces. She stacks most of her necklaces, switching out the chins as she wants, but there are a few she constantly wears, most of which are gifts, or the ones she has earned through quests and her duties as a Valkyrie. During battles she prioritizes safety over looking attractive...for the most part. She makes a point to look her best before going out anywhere where her appearance might be judged.

▹ Personality Traits

Livvy is known for her gentle, soft-spoken personality, especially when she is around those that she likes. She has a bubbly, enigmatic way of living, and an ever optimistic outlook on life. She adores her friends more than herself, and will always prioritize their happiness over her own. She is always truthful, but has been known to soften the truth if she thinks it might be a little too upsetting for whoever is being talked to. Polite as a victorian child, and just as sharp witted, she is easy to laugh, and easy to love. She adores little animals and probably loves critters more than she loves people. She is introverted and reserved on most topics, preferring to sit on the sidelines as her friends and comrades chat, but when it comes to more polarizing topics, she is not shy to loudly express her feelings and thoughts, but always in a civilized manner.

Oddly, the moment she is at odds with someone, she turns into a snarling ball of fury. She is not afraid to fight anyone, and is loyal to the death. Her devotion to those around her is overpowering and occasionally stifling, and she can be downright cruel if it comes to it. Livvy is hardheaded and stubborn, especially in stressful situations, and her defense mechanism is to snap back and be upset, though she doesn't mean a word she's saying. She is slightly restless, and is nearly always moving, whether tapping her fingers, or pacing a room. She is pushy and straightforward when is comes to things that she considers important, even when they aren't. One of her worst traits is the fact that if she thinks something is interesting or special, she thinks everyone should share her joy and excitement, even when it means nothing to them.

WIP [obvious I hope]

▹ Name (Full)

Strygga Eho Sigrith

▹ Name Pronounciation

st-REE-guh EE-ho SEE-grith

▹ Nickname(s)

Rig, Syggie, Eho

▹ Sexuality*

Heterosexual, bicurious

▹ Gender

Female

▹ Pronouns

She/her

▹ Role

Einherjar

▹ Appearance

Strygga posesses an air of authority in stature alone; standing at 5'11, with a body composed of tightly corded muscle, she exudes strength and power in every movement. Icy blue eyes, so light they rival the winter snow, hold a darkness and severity only battle-hardened warriors claim.

Her hair, bright as the blinding winter sun, can be found braided into a crown atop her head; throughout the blonde strands are various talismans of luck, strength, and propsperity, given to her by fellow warriors, family, or simple strangers she had protected. Stray strands blend into pale skin, dusted with freckles from years in the sun and scars from battles long past.

Most of her scars are hidden by the steel armor adorning her body - Strygga rarely removes her armor other than for sleep, and even then she often keeps a chainmail bodice secured around her. The steel bears intricate runes, carved through the years in an effort to claim protection from the Gods. Her shoulders bear the marks of Thor, and the central rune on her breastplate is dedicated to Odin himself.

Under her armor, Strygga has a smattering of scars along her joints - armor can only protect so much while providing necessary movement, after all. Her neck boasts an impressive, angry scar on the left side, courtesy of an axe thrown for her head. Above her right eye, running parallel to her brow bone, lays a twisted scar, often red and gnarly - it had never quite healed properly, and tended to flare up under stress, cold weather, or anger.

▹ Personality Traits

Severe would not begin to encompass the complex array of strict, utilitarian emotions Strygga experiences. She believes all actions should be practical, thought out, and concise - this includes her opinion of others. In her mind, warriors are weapons meant to be honed and used for the greater good, and anybody who disagrees with that does not deserve to be in her battalion.

Her temperment matches the raging iciness of her eyes, cold and unforgiving in nature. She has no time for simple conversation, and prefers to speak only of strategy, upcoming tasks, or training. The only time her personality loosens is around the fire, drink in hand. Once the mead flows, her inhibitions are released, and she may even tell a story or two from her past.

Strygga has no reserve about saying her thoughts aloud, and can be cruel to some. Her responses, however, will often be short, quickly dismissing the person at hand.

She views her batallion as weaponry, but still cares about them - the same way a farmer cares about cattle. They are meant to be taken care of, not coddled, but she does try her best to keep everybody alive. When death strikes, she is quick to externally present a stoic faacade, but will internally mourn for days on end. She has no room to allow this to breach her demeanor, though, for fear of the others discovering she has quite a complex array of emotions locked away.

Strygga is fearful of letting people get close to her. She doesn't allow others to see her true thoughts, and often prefers to go off alone whenever possible to collect herself.
