Scion: Ragnarok

Game Master DM Ragnarok

Appearance
Lex is tall and slender with curly, dark red hair; large, slanted green eyes, pale skin and androgynous features that are somewhere between exotic and unnerving. He spent most of his formative years poor and bouncing between all of the glittering variety of the Vegas nightlife and it shows - Lex dresses like a combination of drag queen and biker, wrapped up in a "lucky" coat - dark green leather lined with kevlar, because any self-respecting alumn of the City of Lights knows that the only luck you can trust is the luck you make.

Personality
Lex is completely confident, smarter than most people and unapologetic about both these facts. Because of this, he has always been a loner, but more by circumstance than preference - he often used to daydream about his birth parents coming to find him, and accepting him unconditionally (although to be fair, every orphan does that). Although his experiences have left him jaded and cynical about a lot of things, Lex is more 'mischief' than 'evil', and deeply unwilling to appear vulnerable. They have also given him a knack for manipulating people, but when it comes to honest interaction, he is far less adept.
When he receives his visitation, he will probably see it as having stumbled onto a family of sorts, and try to connect with both his father and the other Aesir Scions, and he will probably also do an abysmal job at communicating that fact.

When he switches to his more hideous form, Chase is still recognizably himself--at least, he is himself if he had drown. His skin takes on a slightly bluish sheen with great swatches of red and purple snaking their way up and down his extremities. His eyes milk over and his lips and eyelids turn bruise violet, and his hair seems to take on a life of its own as if he is partially suspended in water.

Personality:
Chase is rather shy and standoffish--his home life has caused him to adopt a starting stance of general dishonesty with most people he meets. When left to his own devices Chase’s thoughts tend to wander and he finds himself daydreaming--it can take a lot to get him back to reality, whatever that may be. Chase is rather blase about danger--he and his friends from school all had a reputation for egging each other on into doing stupider and stupider stunts, of which Chase was the most accomplished.

Backstory:
Chase’s mortal father was an Australian sailor and volunteer in the Coastal Patrol. Before Chase was born, while responding to an emergency call, he disappeared. His ship and its crew returned with the men that he had helped rescued and it was reported that he had been lost at sea.

In truth, Chase’s father had drowned at sea attempting during the rescue--but he had caught the eye of Ran, the giantess goddess of the ocean. She allowed him to spend a night in her chambers before dutifully giving his soul to the valkyrie that sought to claim him because of his heroic act. Her child by the union was Chase, who Ran left at an Adoption Services office in Brisbane. He was dutifully adopted by a religious family, the O’Bannons, who took him to their home in a small suburb of Brisbane. They decided not to tell Chase that he was adopted, judging that it would be best if he thought they were his real parents.

Though they never physically hurt him, Chase’s adopted family was intensely emotionally abusive. They were both devout Christians and as Chase grew his interests increasingly bothered them--he was more interested in drawing and daydreaming than religion and sports. The only hobby that he had that his parents tolerated was his surfing--though only barely, as his father felt that it was the sport of layabouts and good-for-nothings. Chase could spend the whole day on the water though, and as he grew older he did so more and more, increasingly cutting class to do so, which would send his parents into a rage. Eventually, his father forbid him from going to the beach, and insisted that Chase spend his afternoons at his auto repair shop. Chase did his best to get out of having to do this whenever he could--he had a knack for disappearing whenever he needed to, as it turned out.

And that was not the end of Chase’s home troubles. As he grew older he started to realize that he was gay--but he was smart enough to know not to tell his parents, since his father often complained of homosexuals ruining the country. His parents suspected that it was a possibility, however, and often warned him of the dangers--and when they found some of the drawings in his sketchbook they ransacked his ruin and forbid him from buying anymore paper--a rule he did his best to circumvent whenever possible, of course.

His whole life, Chase has been haunted by dreams--of beautiful women beneath the waves, of monsters made of fire and hatred, of ghostly hands smothering him in his bed--and as he got older these dreams seemed to start leaking into real life. His music teacher had blue skin and left a trail of water wherever she walked that no one seemed to notice. Little creatures made of mud were living under his neighbor’s garden. And the graveyard he walked by on the way home from school was increasingly populated with ghosts that he did his absolute best to ignore despite their best efforts to get his attention. The only time that he told anyone was once, when he told a boy who he thought was his friend. The boy told his parents, who told Chase’s parents--they nearly sent him to a psychiatric hospital until he was able to convince them that it had all been a lie, which still earned him a verbal thrashing that left him emotionally devastated.

But Chase’s greatest dream has been to escape. To escape his parents, to get as far away from them as he possibly could. He dreamed of going to the States and becoming a movie star--they seemed to love their Australians in Hollywood and in California he was sure he’d never meet someone who hated him for being gay ever again. As his eighteenth birthday approaches, Chase is almost ready to put his into action. He’s saved up a bit of money and has looked into contacts that could him to the States with relative ease--he’s ready to go, and trying his best to ignore the fact that his dreams continue to grow stronger every night.

He joined the army at the age of 18. After his first couple of battles he was promoted to lieutenant. Soon after he got seriously injured. He moved out of england to (where eggellis’s character lives) as to be near the near-world famous doctor.

After Odin visited he started training fir the army

Urgulstad the strong sighs “yet another near death situation” he quietly murmurs to himself. This time he was hanging from a cliff by his fingernails. Looking down he sees a tiny outcrop in the mountain, not enough to stand on but just enough for what he needed to do. Urgulstad drops his hold on the cliff edge and slides down, slamming his foot onto the outcrop and leaping in the air just as it (the outcrop) crumbles to nothingness. He lands perfectly on the cliff top.

Possibly a 1-die stunt (like it matters). It shows that most (if not all) problems can be solved by having high epic attributes

He joined the army at the age of 18. After his first couple of battles he was promoted to lieutenant. Soon after he was promoted he was in a damgerous battle. He took a risk and it paid off, winning the battle but not without getting seriously injured. He was discharged from the army.

He moved out of england to (where eggellis’s character lives) as to be near the near-world famous doctor. To keep himself supplied he worked on odd jobs, only spending enough to cover the costs of living and put the rest in the bank

After Odin visited he started training for ragnarok.

Bonus points: 7 Legend, 8 Boons

Appearance Picture
Lex is tall and slender with curly, dark red hair; large, slanted green eyes, pale skin and androgynous features that are somewhere between exotic and unnerving. He spent most of his formative years poor and bouncing between all of the glittering variety of the Vegas nightlife and it shows - Lex dresses like a combination of drag queen and biker, wrapped up in a "lucky" coat - dark green leather lined with kevlar, because any self-respecting alumn of the City of Lights knows that the only luck you can trust is the luck you make.

Personality
Lex is completely confident, smarter than most people and unapologetic about both these facts. Because of this, he has always been a loner, but more by circumstance than preference - he often used to daydream about his birth parents coming to find him, and accepting him unconditionally (although to be fair, every orphan does that). Although his experiences have left him jaded and cynical about a lot of things, Lex is more 'mischief' than 'evil', and deeply unwilling to appear vulnerable. They have also given him a knack for manipulating people, but when it comes to honest interaction, he is far less adept.
When he receives his visitation, he will probably see it as having stumbled onto a family of sorts, and try to connect with both his father and the other Aesir Scions, and he will probably also do an abysmal job at communicating that fact.

Thurisaz Rune (1): Grants Access to Chaos Purview
Isa Rune (1): Grants Access to Illusion Purview
Perthro Rune (1): Grants Access to Magic Purview
Lex's runestones are part of a full set, crafted from rough-hewn, opaque fragments of ice - freezing to the touch, but unmelting to any heat Lex has managed to apply.
Skin-changer’s wing (2): Mimics Sky’s Freedom boon (as per relic crafting rules in Companion p150)
This scrap of mummified magpie feathers is a fragment of one of the ancient Norse skinchanging hides, used to change shape by hundreds of mages and mystics across dozens of cultures for millennia. This one has only a small piece of that power, enough to grow a pair of white and black wings.

Not really prepared to be a father, Rayna's father raised her like his father had raised him: to live off the land, hunt and shoot, and how to care for wolves. When she was little, she went missing in the preserve, but was found days later in one of the wolf dens, where the animals were caring for her. When her father approached, the wolves exited the den, snarling, but they parted and Rayna walked past them before turning and bowing to the Alpha male and thanking him for his hospitality. "It was the darnedest thing" her father would say every time he told the story "She came walking out like she was the alpha, and all the wolves seemed to understand her when she spoke."

Rayna eventually graduated high school and went to college, studying veterinary medicine, with a plan to return to the preserve and work there. Her father died, however, during her junior year, which prompted her to return home to run the preserve. That was two years ago, and she still had never met her mother, although one night she dreamt of two women, older yet beautiful, striking a bargain. "'You may take my son, since you adore him so, but I get one of yours in his place.' 'Agreed. You may take her.'" That same night Rayna became seriously ill, contracting a fever that lasted several days before it finally broke, and afterwards even her older friends among the people that worked at the preserve noted a difference in her demeanor, although none of them could really place it, other than a feeling of 'intensity.' That was several weeks ago, and Rayna made a marked recovery.

Appearance: Rayna is a tall, lithe, attractive young woman in her early 20's who is much tougher than she appears to be. She stands just shy of 6 feet tall, and weighs 140 lbs, with shock red hair that hangs just below her shoulders and rich green eyes with hints of gold in them.

In college, she was well known for her ability to drink anyone under the table, and between her charm, pretty face and relatable personality, she has always had at least one or two young men trying to win her hand, but for her part she is not at all interested in settling down.

Personality: Rayna is a practical young woman who is passionate about protecting and preserving all animals, but she has a special affinity with wolves.

Rayna's birth mother was Aphrodite, but Freya and Aphrodite made an agreement to switch children for some unknown reason.
