Oh he totally knows you exist. Also the walking bag of entropy? Sounds about right. Fortunately your entropy right now is only able to reach 'annoying' levels than 'destructive and dangerous'. Also, it's not really able to be targeted at anyone in particular. It will bother everyone (yourself included) to turn on your chaos aura :DAlso, she stabbed you when you just tried to steal from her before, what type of response are you expecting if you steal something valuable to her ?

Well, she chose to turn me into Jesus. Might need the trinket to ward off all the followers /s

Like, how well off you are? Just be reasonable. If your character should have a certain level of wealth, then let them have it, just don't go stupidly above and beyond.If you mean how good you are at doing things, yeah I kinda am the arbiter of that based on your stats. Which is also why you may have some trouble finding your item at the store, you're still basically mortal at noticing things, and this is a bit out of your reach right now, for instance.

You may have some trouble. Some. Not a lot, some. Just need to make sure I can prevent the witch from ripping me in half if I do find it. Even if I don't, I got a cool ivory fountain pen!

"He didn't know too much about Odin, but Lucky hazarded a guess that he didn't like tricksters."This line is so unintentionally hilarious to me it actually hurt to laugh a bit.

I wanted to maybe say something like "probably due to some past experience with them" but I felt like that would be too much.

Lucky chuckled at Jagred's response, looking at his hands. "The last guy that got two holes poked in his hands did pretty well for himself. The majority of history shows that getting your head bitten off doesn't end nearly as nicely."

Since I can't post that just yet, since it's a single line. Also, a question. Is there a limit on how well we do otherwise IC? I mean, I'm a professional gambler, so I'd imagine I'd have a nice sum of money somewhere, but is there an upper limit?

Maybe my character will find his uncle in Hel

We can go together! I'll bring a picnic basket, so we don't eat Helfood, and we can just sit back and relax. You talk to your uncle, I'll talk to Houdini and anyone who pulled off a great crime.

Ragnarok ( Modern Myth )

Lucky watched as Baldur left, sighing slightly before catching himself. If that was Baldur, not even Odin, then he have to keep his guard up when around them. If it was even possible. He resumed looking around the store, eyeing things, trying to look through what illusions there may be, and see instead the true object.

While he did this, he tried to think about what Baldur had said. Lucky Odinson. How convenient. The Allfather was his father. Which seemed strange, since his entire line of work fell into Loki's a bit more. Odin must obviously not check in on all his kids all the times, otherwise Lucky may have been more than a disappointment. Maybe a body in a ditch. He didn't know too much about Odin, but Lucky hazarded a guess that he didn't like tricksters.

The current group also seemed rather wary of him. Gavriil, and Jacob both had tried to have a quick look at him without him noticing. Jacob seemed the one who distrusted Lucky more. Lucky would have to make an attempt to fix that relationship at some point.

Lucky froze, thinking to another thing that Baldur had said. Their names. Their actual names. Lucky Odinson was his true name, as far as he knew, unless he had been named something different at birth, which seemed unlikely. Lucky tried to think about what that meant. Something about true names in Norse mythology. Oh. Those who know true names have power over that person. Lucky took out his phone, and sent a quick message to his mother. "Is my first name really Lucky? I need to know."

That would have to do for now, until Lucky managed to get a second name. He was good at that, in the human world. It shouldn't be too much harder to get a second name in the divine world. He just needed to do something big enough that everyone would notice. Even if it meant performing a heist on Fort Knox.

He turned towards the birds, walking over to them. "Hugin, Munin. Tell us, what did the Allfather tell us to do? And how soon does it have to be done?" he then faced the witch, "and you. Tell me, are there any nearby divine grocery stores? Or something? I need to put this gold to use. Honestly, I'd much rather have lettuce and tomatoes over some choking collar," Lucky indicated Jagred at this.

Well, not really, that just makes your failure flashier than the rest of us.

Which is good enough for me! Woo! I'll get some IC up soon.

Hey, Elendra? I don't think I got my skill set yet...may I?

I see, you edited it in.

Boss_Dude, AKA Lucky
Child of Odin, the All Father.
You are able to set off culture bombs, starting rumours with ease and have them spread like wildfire
You find yourself having at least some idea of how to drive… anything and everything
You are able to have it so everything you do has an air of cool to it. Even your failures. Somehow.
You are able to exude an aura of problems, making what small things can go wrong to go wrong around you. Also, to you.
Cause small items to appear to vanish in plain sight on your person until you use them overtly
Sacrifice and perform ritual that tires your body and soul, to get answers.

Not bad, as divine powers go. That third power will couple very well with the fourth. Hey, does that mean I can make things for other people difficult? I mean, how annoyed would the witch get if I found the trinket?

Last thing. My dad better not know I exist, because I don't think he'd be proud of me in the slightest. Plus, I seem to have an ability that's only going to lead me to becoming a walking bag of entropy.

No. While Jormungandr is Hel's brother, Jormungandr is not a god. He's more of a giant cosmic monster. Similarly, I wouldn't have anyone be the kid of Fenrir, or Surtr. They're huge powers, but not gods. Also they're very directly on the evil side of things, and you're supposed to be working for your parents to stop Ragnarok :p

Okay, so apparently I'm not coming across fully. Take all my statements as if they have /s after it. I was trying to make a joke, because the idea of having a snake for a father would be funny. Anyway.

Bad idea. Remember that El said being associated with wolves is a bad stigma because they're associated with Fenrir who was said to devour stuff? You're asking to be the child of its Titanic Brethren. Generally, the Aesir reaction to those are "Kill."

B-but giant snake! (Yes, I know. Still, having a huge-ass snake that can eat worlds is hardly a bad parent to go cry to when the neighborhood kids are bullying you. Also /s?)

I have this really nice book in my little library shelf called Runemarks. I really liked that book.

Quality over quantity.

Fair enough.

Ragnarok ( Modern Myth )

Deeming that he had done a sufficient job with the hands, Lucky shot a look towards the Indian woman. Okay, so she has some healing poultice. Maybe if he asked nicely he can retrieve something. Looking around the room now, he ignored the old woman and the questions asked by everyone as he noticed something. When the Indian had received her poultice, the witch had taken it from the wall, where it had been disguised as some other thing. A fanny pack, if his memory served. Same with all the other items. The sword, the rifle. His item was in this room. He just needed to find what it could possibly be.

He stepped away from the group, looking around. Maybe he would be able to keep both the bag of gold and his own little trinket. Lucky looked through the racks, pawing at a few items to check if they were real or not. Most felt real to the touch, though that could be illusion for all he knew about magic. As he went, he took a few things that just seemed interesting in their own right. A rather nice fountain pen, seemingly made of bone. A pack of cards, with Norse Cards written on the front, along with a picture of Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, staring out and back at Lucky.

Hearing something interesting, Lucky turned back to the witch, as a cold wind rattled the shop. "Well, if we have free will, what's to stop us from just doing as we wish? I mean, Ragnarok could take quite a while. That would be a good amount of time to just do as we wish, make our own kingdoms. To those who haven't had a god for a while, I'm sure a demigod would do." stepping to a mirror, he picked up a large fake beard, putting it on, "think I could pull off a convincing Jesus?"

He put it back down. "Anyway, point is, how far away is Ragnarok? From the point of view of the gods, it may be soon but it might be an eon for us."
