Character Creation

Name

The options are pretty free: Norse names, Runes, or characteristic words tend to be the choices. Your character can have been named either by their god or by themself. Loki didn’t name any of his. At least officially: some of them have nicknames.

Gods:

The ‘who’ is self-explanatory: there are 24 (sort of, there’s actually 25 but Magni and Modi have to share like good siblings, so you can’t be a godling of them individually) deities (including Loki) making you guys.

Material:

There are six materials, which will also determine how you use combat runes, and some of your income:

Iron (Sharp, warlike, strong)

Stone (Unyielding, BIG, Craftable)

These materials allow you to cast a Rune in melee 3 times per encounter

Darkness (Ephemeral, Sneaky)

Fire (Destructive, Impulsive, Also Artistic)

These materials allow you to cast a Rune at range 3 times per encounter with 10 second cooldown

Ice (Cold, Patient, Calm)

Greenery (nurturing, caring, alive)

These materials allow you to cast a Rune in melee with 10 second cooldown

Word:

What you are. What you do. You, in a word.

What do they want?:

Well?

What DO you want?

Your character has a lot of free will. Some of the gods would say too much… Due to your level of free will, Lokilings may work to delay Ragnarok along side the godlings and godlings can choose to defect to the side of Chaos.

(As an OC note: This has no mechanical benefits. It’s purely just for you to get a feel for your character.) Some guidance on this kind of stuff.

Deviance:

This is a flaw. This is also completely defined by players. Yes, it’s your problem now. Make sure you have one or we will smite you... by giving you one of our own making.

This results in a certain number of curse cards a week among the player base, but you are expected to also roleplay your deviance without ref interference.

Familiar:

Choose between combat, sneaky and cute. Uptime and downtime can be different.
