[OOC] The Runes (In Need of Players!)

[CollectorOfMyst]

I'm the hundred and first OOC post. You should be the one to fear me.

[EchoicChamber]

@The Jest@CollectorOfMyst Alright, I've marked down both runes as Claimed. c: Looking forward to seeing your characters!

@SantosGabriel77 Glad to see that you're interested! Since the runes have been filled as of now, would you like a World Eater?

@Blueflame I would say take out the multiple forms, if possible- at least for now. Jotuns and wargs can transform into giants and wolves respectively, but I'm not sure if there are any creatures in Norse lore that can transform into shadow creatures. If anyone knows of one that can, however, feel free to call me out on it!

Also, as for the list of Norse World Eaters that are taken off the table, off the top of my head:
Hel
Nidhoggir
Fenrir
Jormungandr
Skoll
Hati

In addition, the Norse gods are off the table by default, although they don't quite count as WEs. c:

(Surtr is also now off the table now that Jest has taken him, but I didn't want it to seem like I was being wishy-washy on whether he was allowed or not, haha)

@EchoicChamber

Thank you.

Just finished reading the CS for Jormungandr

...Is it bad that I honest-to-god want to hug the world snake now? XD

[Blueflame]

@EchoicChamber I think ill change it to fit more along the lines of wargs, thanks

[EchoicChamber]

@The Jest I feel the same way, don't worry. c:

@Blueflame And sounds good! Just go ahead and tell me when you're done making the edits.

[Blueflame]

@EchoicChamber kk I should have them done tomorrow

[The Jest]

@EchoicChamber

Ok, My analysis of all the CSes is now complete.

Now onto checking on the IC. ...Hoo boy... XD

Also, GM, If it's not too much trouble, will you permit me another Specific Jotun? I would like to take claim of Skadi as well. ^_^

[EchoicChamber]

@Blueflame Woot! Looking forward to it!

[EchoicChamber]

@The Jest I appreciate your brushing up on what's been going on so far. :D

And Skadi? Would you mind giving me some info on her real quick? I have a general knowledge of some Norse lore, but I still don't know some of the figures in it, haha. ^^;

@EchoicChamber

I don't like making things awkward by walking in without any knowledge. Especially given that my character is coming in late in the game, replacing a character that seemed..."active" for lack of a better word, and is likely to be an inversed version of her as far as personality is concerned. (Both have an inferiority complex, incidentally brought on by being in the shadow of a better patriarch, yet another creepy coincidence, but my version takes the inferiority....differently.)

From what I understand, Skadi or "Skaði" is a Female Ice Jotun associated with Winter, Mountains, and The hunt, essentially making her Surtr's polar opposite in a way. She married god by the name of "Njörður" one time, and by extension became the Stepmother of Freyr and Freya.

Now I've been trying to find a Citing source as to her role in Ragnarok. ...I haven't found it. I've seen a description saying that all the gods would "Return to her at the end of Ragnarok", but I found no source to back that up, which is why I didn't ask for her while asking for Surtr.

However, given that she is affiliated as an Embodiment of Winter, I believe her involvement may be with "Fimbulwinter".

Everyone loves Kana I'm so happy.
Kana: I'm happy too! Lots of new friends to- to not eat! Yeah, whoo! Who likes chicken wings?! I like chicken wings!

[EchoicChamber]

@The Jest Mmmm, that makes sense. I appreciate it regardless, though, as it shows that you're putting a lot of thought into the roleplay. c:
Considering that Skadi seems to be a fairly prominent figure in Norse mythology, I would say that I'd prefer for you to stick with Surtr for now, and then later on in plot, if we need a Skadi, you'll likely be one of my first candidates for the role. Would that be alright?

@EchoicChamber

Honestly, I'm somewhat surprise I get even that much. I'll gladly take that offer. ^_^

[CollectorOfMyst]

I've also been trying to catch up on the story to the present... it's just... college. Need I say more than that?

[Prinz]

'Kana frontflipped through the window of the room everyone was conveniently in and proceeded to cause major worry before being escorted out and Amity shot a door off its hinges because whoa strong female character and then they had a meeting and suddenly shit went down.'
Very vague but also pretty accurate tl;dr from my perspective.
I mean Kana's and Amity's.
All three really.

I get what you mean by college though @CollectorOfMyst

[CollectorOfMyst]

Doing my research into the Berkano rune right now. I've had an idea for a sort of florapathy which allows him to 'see' and 'hear' through the plants.

[EchoicChamber]

@CollectorOfMyst That could be interesting! Creativity with the role is definitely encouraged. c:

[CollectorOfMyst]

@EchoicChamber Yeah... dunno how I feel about the female fertility and childbirth aspect of Berkano, but then... I am both male and will never experience the 'joy' of those biologically female functions.

[EchoicChamber]

@CollectorOfMyst You don't have to follow the meanings of Berkano to the T, don't worry. c: For instance, if we're going by all of the rune translations, then Kenaz is associated with "passion, sexual love". Meanwhile, Dawn, who carries the rune of Kenaz, is a bit of a prude, haha.

[The Jest]

That being said, I would like to thank @CollectorofMyst for doing so, because it gave me a reason to look up my rune.

Upon discovering what the rune is about...Now I have no question who I'm using now.

Though I can tell that It's gonna be a while before I'm done reading the IC. For convenience sake, I have to ask:

What exactly happens to the Rune when its user dies? Does it simply fly off the body into its next choice?
