~Background
Everyone’s heard of the Aesir of Asgard: Thor, Odin, and Baldur to name a few. But hidden among Norse myth and legend, another, older race of gods existed: the Vanir.
They were masters of several forms of sorcery and magic, always using it subtly and conservatively, but masters nonetheless. The Vanir were also gifted with great powers of foresight. They could not only see the future, but alter its course.
The Aesir and Vanir had their struggles and conflicts, but for the most part, managed to live in a form of harmony.

Eventually, several of the Vanir grew bored of their realm. The Aesir had been visiting the primitive realm of Midgard for a while, and the Vanir thought they would see for themselves what was so great about the place.

The Vanir found Midgard new and entertaining, though only for a short while. Most of them headed back to Vanaheim after they grew tired of mortals.
Some of them, however, weren’t bored by the humans. In fact, they were rather intrigued. The Vanir who stayed behind soon started families of their own, mixing their noble blood with that of the humans. Their families became known for containing great warriors and craftsmen.

Slowly, but inevitably, the bloodlines became more and more human. As the Vanir’s blood faded, the did the special talents began to disappear, as did the very memory. History became a silly legend used to help restless children fall asleep.
Ages passed and times changed. The families of the Vanir left their homeland and began living all over the map. It seemed their noble heritage had been completely forgotten, their powers gone like dust in the wind.

~Plot -- A great deal of words lie ahead of you. Tread carefully.
Far above the Earth, Asgard, realm eternal, sat within her mighty walls. The streets were dark and quiet, the very picture of a peaceful night. But despite the safety of his city, Odin, the Allfather, was not sleeping soundly.

Inside the grand chambers of a king, he tossed and turned on his mattress. Images played through his mind. Images of death, destruction, chaos.
The great wolf, Fenrir, had escaped his prison on the island of Lyngvi. He had found his way to Asgard. And he was going to destroy it.

Odin awoke in a cold sweat. As much as he wished it was just a Dark Elf playing tricks, his instinct told him otherwise. It was a real threat.
It was not lost on Odin that, during Ragnarok, he was prophesied to die by Fenrir’s fangs. Perhaps it was that fact that caused him to act so harshly to the news Freya brought him in the morning.

“My lord,” Freya greeted him upon entering the throne room. She looked extremely worried. “I believe I have seen a grave future for us all. Fenrir will break free of his bonds, and he will come here.”
Odin, worst fears realized, took a closer look at Freya. “You’re hiding something.”
The goddess pursed her lips, but spoke after a brief hesitation. “I also saw warriors - young ones - freeing the beast. I believe they are descendants of the Vanir.”

Odin now realized why Freya had kept that from him. She was Vanir herself, and didn’t want her distant relatives killed. But as part of the Vanir, her visions were to be taken seriously. If she saw the Vanir’s children freeing Fenrir, Odin had no doubt that they would.

“Assemble the Einherjar!” He shouted, standing up from his golden throne. “And the Valkyrie as well! Their duties will have to wait. This takes precedence. They ride to Midgard as soon as the sun sets.”
“My lord? What do they plan to do?” Freya asked, even more worried than before.
The Allfather glared at her.
“Kill them.”

As the sun dangled just above the horizon, five figures met on the Bifrost bridge.
Freya was one, as was her brother Freyr, and her father, Njord. They were the only Vanir to live in Asgard, and though loyal to the Allfather, they disagreed with his decision.
“I do not see how I can condone this. I have sworn to obey the Allfather, not the whims of any Aesir or Vanir.” Said the fourth figure, Heimdall, upon hearing Freya’s proposition. Heimdall was the guardian of the bridge. Her plan would not work without his help.

“Heimdall, you must see this is wrong.” Freyr pleaded. “Condemning children to death with nothing but a dream as proof!”
Heimdall didn’t look convinced. “Mimir guides the Allfather’s actions. If he thought this was wrong, he would have said so.”
“Mimir has no love for the Vanir,” Njord grunted.

“What of your opinion, Kvasir?” Heimdall asked the only one not to speak.
Kvasir was silent for a moment, “I think these children will play an important role in our future. Good or bad, I cannot say. But if their actions are suppose to be beneficial, they cannot perform them if they are dead.”

“Very well.”
Heimdall closed his eyes, and the Bifrost began come to life. Rainbow flashes of color drifted by, forming pictures of different realms. Then there was a bright light, and all was still. The figures parted, each quick to find an alibi should Odin discover their rouse.

Wherever you had fallen asleep, be it a queen-sized bed in Moscow or underneath a bridge in New York, you had the dream.
It wasn’t too far away from Odin’s dream the night before.
You were running, fast. Something was trying to kill you. You didn’t know how you knew, but it seemed obvious.
If you looked to the left or right, you could see people running alongside you. Women with winged helmets and heavy spears were on one side, soldiers from several different centuries were on the other.
If you were brave enough to glance behind yourself, you’d catch a glimpse of something large and dark gray racing towards you. If you kept your eyes on the path ahead, you would see the rapidly approaching cliff face. There was no where to go. You were going to get eaten. Then there was a blinding flash of light, and you woke up... in the middle of a forest you’d never seen before in your life, wearing only your pajamas.

~Rules -- Read these or you’ll have no idea what’s going on
1. The basics: None of that godmodding and metagaming stuff, or OOC drama.
2. Grammar, please and thank you. I’d like to see paragraphs if at all possible.
3. Please, please, please use 3rd person. If you absolutely need to use 1st person, you can, just don’t switch POV in the middle of one post.
4. If you make a Vanir character, you are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to make a Valkyrie/Einherjar as well. Vise versa. This will keep ‘teams’ even.
5. Valkyrie and Einherjar should not immediately defect to the Vanir’s side.
6. Put ‘Thor was a redhead’ in Other to prove you read this.
7. You’re starting on Vanaheim if you’re Vanir, and on Earth and on a wild goose chase if you’re Valkyrie/Einherjar.
8. Don’t claim relation to anyone from Norse legend.
9. If you read this far, forget rule six. Leave the space blank or actually use it.
10. Remember that the Vanir descendants were normal kids until this point. Your character shouldn’t be a master at hand-to-hand combat, or carry around a sword.
11. Characters can come from all over Earth, and don’t need to speak English. But please, type your posts in complete English.
12. Keep posts serious and as realistic as they can be in a situation like this.

Powers: +Adomopathy +Magical Shield +Healing +Telekinesis
Appearance:
Personality: (Optional)
Bio: (NOT Optional. I want to know where you charrie came from, how much they know about Norse myths, odd moments when Vanir powers leaked through, etc.) Born in Karelia Russia he moved to America in 2004 when his parents had felt it was time to get out of the old country. At a young age he noticed that he could understand english flawlessly even though he had not learned it, he thought this odd but did nothing about it. Going through his life he became an avid gamer and picked up a game called Age of Mythology, featuring the Norse as a faction, with that he decided to research more on the Norse myths. In 2006 at the age of 10 he knew so much about the norse mythos that he considered it his only hobby, other then gaming. But at the age of 15 he became avid in american football and started playing for his high school team. But during one game he knew tat he was about to be tackled by one of the largest of the other team and dodged it a mere second before it. So 4 years after that he was picked up by a college to play football, he hopes to play football for the Minnesota Vikings.
Other:Same as the Above Other.

Vanir Descendant:
Name: Cian Frost (Key-in, but really close to 'keen')
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Nationality: Greek (If she speaks in Greek, I will provide translations. Also, Greek people can be blonde and pale with green eyes, it's just that the stereotype 'Greek' is about 1/3 of the population)
Powers: Charmspeak, Psychometry, Empathy
Appearance: Blonde hair in a pixie cut to her earlobes, green eyes, wears a black t-shirt with the words 'Katachthonia Makari' in red, dripping letters, dark purple jeans, black leather boots that reach an inch above her ankle, and a black fatigues jacket. She stands four foot ten, and is rather slender, at 90 lbs, and has somewhat tan skin.
Personality: N/A
Bio: Cian grew up reading, mostly reading fantasy, but only really touched on the basics of Norse mythology, instead opting for her (KNOWN) ancestral Greek, and as such, will make allusions to Greek myths. She left home at eleven, due to a family tragedy, and ended up living with family in Athens, staying there until this. Her powers leaked through once, when she grabbed an American Civil War bayonet on a trip (Homeschooled, so she travelled for classes some) and according to her aunt, collapsed on the ground screaming when she saw it had been used to kill many people.
Other: In the Marvel comics, Thor was blonde, so they stayed true to the comic.

Valkyrie:
Name: Sigrun (Not sure if Valkyries use surnames?)
Gender: Female
Appearance: Blonde, tall at 6 ft (I know some myth, and I know Valkyries are supposed to be tall, even though they were in reality 5 foot 6 inches, which was super tall at that time), blue eyes, tanned (Not overly, but enough to make it obvious she's no stranger to outdoors), wears battle armour and the winged helm typical of Valkyries
Weapon of Choice: A sword that she calls Vic. Not much is special about Vic, except the sword has a tendency to speak, to the point where Sigrun will just hit it against a wall in frustration.
Personality: N/A
Bio: N/A
Other: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/valkyrie-names.php#.VY96RPlViko There's a Valkyrie name gen if anybody needs one. I used Wikipedia for mine, but this site has never failed me.

(Or, it could be later explained that she was on a flight on her way back to Athens from some trip or another. When people take flights, some don't take their shoes off, even with plans of sleeping through it.)

(As promised, I have made a CS)

Vanir Descendant:

Name: Oliver Barrens

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Nationality: American (Unoriginal, right?)

Powers: Astral Projection, Psychometry, Illusion

Appearance: Oliver is a stout person, short but very burly. He tends to grow his blond hair (It burns... It burns like the sunlight...) very long, not really caring too much about it. His facial features are a bit bland, and his glasses are black with thick rims. If you need to put it in a sentence, think of a short surfer dude with the face of an office man. He prefers to wear jeans with a black hoodie.

Personality: I'm sorry, but I think I'll skip this one. I just don't like the personality section.

Bio: Oliver lived his life in a happy family. Scratch that, they divorced when he was five. He isn't too sure as to his father's fate, as he simply lived with his mother for most of his life until he graduated, which then he moved into an apartment in Seattle with a friend of his.

He had very little idea as to what caused his parents' divorce however. His mother told him that his father accused her of being in the house breaking various things while his mother was out of the house, and none of those items had actually been broken. It wasn't the last time these things happened around Oliver. Many times people in his presence would claim to see things that never happened. Oliver never really got around to the bottom of things, and to this day believes that those instants were jokes.

Other: Scrub lords be scrubs

Einherjar:

Name: Maxime Leroy

Gender: Male

Type of Warrior: French Knight

War/Battle of Death: Maxime died in some forgotten battle during the Hundred Years' War

Weapon of Choice: Maxime uses a becs de corbin, a weapon that looks like a two handed hammer with a spear head on top designed to penetrate armor.

Appearance: Maxime is of fair skin with short brown hair, with a goatee. He is tall and thin, but surprisingly muscular, must be all that armor and the giant hammer. His face contains defined features, and when he is out of his armor, he prefers to wear period clothing.

Personality: Once more, I'll skip this.

Bio: Despite all of this stuff I've put down, most of it I looked up online right then and there. I don't know enough to put up a bio. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Other: I be scrub lord.

(Both excepted. I swear I'm working on a CS of my own, I'm just slow. Vanir Descendants can start role-playing now. You're waking up in Vanaheim, which I imagine to have a climate similar to Scandinavia. All-Inclusive powers are activated. Don't start Valkyire/Einherjar roleplaying just yet.)

(@Blazing,
You don't have to. There's already more characters than I anticipated, and I'm making two more.
@Gaming,
That's too bad. I tried to keep it short, but that didn't work out very well. One thing I've found that makes reading on a screen easier is highlighting words as I go.)

Wolf transformation is usually exclusively tied to Loki, who wasn't Vanir. Valkyries can turn into swans, though...
