  This RP will be taking place on Earth AKA Midgard during the 21st century, where the Norse gods and its mythology is real so it's been around since the beginning of time, but no one besides the very few that believe in it knows that it is. So humanity still follows Christian, Jewish, Muslim faith etc. but now Ragnarok is coming and it is threatening the very existence of Asgard and Midgard. Which means if it is not stopped humanity and most of the Norse gods will die and both will be destroyed.

  Ever since the beginning of time, Ragnarok was destined to come, this moment marks the end of the Norse mythological cycle. And the beginning of a new one, but still no one wants to die. And so both the gods and some people will rise up to stop the forces of Ragnarok from ending both worlds. The events that will occurr that will destroy Midgard and Asgard will be as follows. This will be a no bars held back RP, violence will be common and realistic which means expect blood and gore.
  
  
  1. First a 3 year uninterrupted winter known as 'Fimbulwinter' and during these 3 years humanity will turn on one another, becoming dangerously selfish and will turn into all out warfare with people killing one another. 2. 3 roosters in the different areas of the 9 worlds will inform the giant's Ragnarok has begun, they will also inform Hel, the goddess of the underworld to bring up her own army of the dishonorable dead to fight with the Giants to destroy Asgard. And with her armies approach leading other foul natured spirts like dark elves to join in. And a bunch of other big people who will fight and kill. The last one will inform the gods of Asgard that it has begun and to commence the final battle. 3. A huge battle will ensue on the survivors in Midgard and at Asgard with many gods being killed. And Midgard will fight a giant with a flaming sword who will burn the world alive, while having support from other smaller creatures. But in this case Odin will be receiving extra help that may just save the world both their worlds and stop Ragnarok.

  No, for this RP no one will be playing as any god's you will be fighting as smaller but possible pivotal roles that may just end up stopping Ragnarok. That is up to all of you. I am thinking of having 5 max for each role, and this will not be a first come first serve RP. Many will be taken in by a certain time and will be considered. Death will be entirely possible over the course of the RP, so don't complain if you end up dying... And once this starts you cannot create another character even if you perish.
  
  
  Einherjar:
  
  
  Men and women selected, by Odin and his Valkyrie's who have fought heroically and have died the same. These soldier spirits, were selected to help prepare to defend Asgard and Midgard and Odin for when Ragnarok comes. These men or women are selected from any war, any year (Not cavemen! As far as ancient Egypt to now) armed with guns, swords and shield, crossbows. Anything from their historical period and what they carried. So you can finally have a Soviet soldier from WWII fighting alongside a Roman legionnaire to prevent the world from being destroyed. They may have not have believed in the Norse faith but now they fight for it. And to save both worlds.
  
  
  The known ones: (Got no good name)
  
  
  Those human teenagers whom have great potential they were not overtaken, it's hidden but will be cracked and while they might not know much about Norse mythology or some may know, but they will learn and will help in the coming days, Odin shall forsee this and will utilize them.
  
  
  Valkyrie's:
  
  
  The chooser of the slain in wars they pick whom Odin wants, but in this time of need they know combat and will be utilized to assist our known ones heroes, the Einherjar, and Odin and fight to the last breath.

It will all come down! The end is nigh and all shall perish! The Twilight of the Gods has come! Unless you can help prevent it!

Hell yes! Definitely interested!


One question. Five in total right? So I can have five from the mix of the three given categories (The known ones, Valkyries, Einherjar)?

I meant more like 5 people will be selected for each category, If you meant like you yourself making 5 characters for each category, then no. But I would allow people to play as more than 1 role but 1 character per player, but to keep the amount of players diverse I will have the 2nd character put to higher standards. But since this is mostly not a 1st come 1st serve if you want extra security to get in it would make sense to make more than one.

Right ok, I got you. That makes sense. Although I suggest allowing people to have a backup character in case their main dies? Else, once they get killed, they wouldn't be able to get back in anymore. Unless you have a plan for that already? If so, then I wouldn't pry and ruin the fun.

Well, my intent was to make this mostly more realistic and small, the way I have this envisioned is meant to keep the RPers in a small group environment too many backups would fill this and make this less of a small group in their efforts and almost like a small army. But if popular demand wants to allow for that I will increase the capacity. Besides if new characters kept jumping in it would seem a bit like an infinite army out to stop Ragnarok then eventually it would overshadow the main purpose.

Ah, ok. Well, either way, please tag me once this is up and running

 

[The Omen of Death]

Got it, good to know your interested thought you might be. Curious on first impressions what role would you choose? I am definitely going to improve 'The known ones'


1. The name seems terrible 2. They may need a revision, especially since they were created specifically for this Ragnarok scenario. but I overall know how they will be apart of this.


But I want to know your interest.

 

[Loki Odinson]

My first choice is surprisingly the Einhenjar, mostly because I have a few ancient to not-so-ancient soldiers I can choose from and would like to play. I was actually going to go for the Valkyries because they are more closer to Asgardians, but changed my mind almost instantly. It would be nearly as fun acting out a superior warrior, I reckon.


As for the 'Known Ones', if you expand on that a little more, like what the range of their abilities, limitations, etc, I might eventually go for that. But for now, Einhenjar is my first choice.

 

[The Omen of Death]

Ok, I probably should have written down in the description of 'The known ones' what they could bring to the table, you are on the right track. I did not necessarily want them to become EVEN MORE unknown demigods or sons and daughters of gods or goddesses since that would seem cliché for Norse mythology, and in general. But they are probably going to realize abilities like some form of magic or skills with blades or ranged stuff that caught Odin's attention. Which I hope to explain after the opening post, if interest is good. But I chose the same as you since I have one warrior/soldier that I could not pass on creating. But if you want to play any role your fine to do so, I would love to see you join. Especially since we did not end up doing that one RP together. And you would probably provide an interesting dynamic with your knowledge and whatnot.

It's cool. I can't wait to get this started!


One question on the Einherjar. Can they be famous historical warriors? Or must they be made up?

 

[The Omen of Death]

Please stay to made up, but it can be from any place at anytime please also at most ancient go to Ancient Egypt and at most modern you can go up to modern day soldiers.

Yep sure

 

[Kencen]

I am definitely interested in this! I'd most likely play an Einherjar. I'll play around with a few different character concepts until you get back.

 

[The Omen of Death]

Hey, I was able to clear up my issues earlier than expected so I should be good for a while.

I am definitely interested in this! I'd most likely play an Einherjar. I'll play around with a few different character concepts until you get back.

Great to hear! I am going to work on making the RP so that you two can make your characters with the format. If anyone of you have anymore questions I would be glad to answer them.
