NAME. Meja Urdahl ("The Wolf of Midgard")
SERIES. Original Character; for Meja's history thus far, please see here.
HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN. If you would be so kind, relating to Hel's Vision, please do me a huge favor and fill out the following (and here are snow leopard cubs for your trouble):
SERIES. Original Character; for Meja's history thus far, please see here.
OOC preferences |
→ CONTACT: See here.
→ BACKTAGGING: Absolutely!
→ THREADJACKING: Go ahead.
→ FOURTHWALLING: On the subject of Norse myth, let 'er rip; Meja's world doesn't match the myths exactly.
→ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Good luck trying to offend me!
IC permissions |
→ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Go for it. She's a little physically awkward from being alone for 9 years, but she doesn't really mind it.
→ TELEPATHY: Her runes protect her from low-level mind reading; you have to actually be pretty powerful to get through to her. But if your character is, have at.
→ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Meja can take a lot (otherwise she'd already be dead), so you don't need to worry about killing her, in general. She's sort of like a Marvel superhero in that way. Throw her through a wall and she's just going to be annoyed.
→ PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE:good luck being worse than mePlease consult me first, but in general, I'm always up for pup torture.
→ CHARACTER DEATH: DS character death is permanent, so no thank you.
IC characteristics |
→ PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 25 years old. Meja is 5'10", somewhat tall for a woman but not gargantuan by any means, with dark blue eyes and fair skin. She has a medium-strength Norwegian accent. Currently, Meja is extremely toned from a solid month of training and various types of combat. She has platinum blond hair, so blond it's almost white, which hangs down to jaw-length. She wears silver-blue Asgardian armor (shoulder pieces and gauntlets), engraved with wolves, though it's usually glamoured to look like very simple clothing with heavy, knee-high boots. Her white hooded cloak is usually glamoured to look like a longcoat. She also has runes on her palms and runes on the underside of each forearm, which look as though they were burned or scarred there; more about those below. Her right forearm is completely wrapped up in green silk-like cloth.
→ DEMEANOR: Meja usually has at least a small smile on her face. But at worse, she looks neutral and never unfriendly unless truly, truly pissed off.
→ ABILITIES: Meja is protected by Thurisaz on her left palm, and Ansuz on her right, as well as Haglaz on her right forearm and Laguz on her left. They give her her abilities, which can be circumvented by things like anti-magic fields which are also very harmful (more about that at the bottom). She's versed in several types of combat, including martial, and along with her skills with a great-axe she is decently versed in fighting with short swords, broad swords, and hammers. In addition, Meja is a veritable encyclopedia of Norse mythology (and some other myths), owing to her childhood. She's a pragmatic planner and rarely rushes into something without thinking about it first. She speaks Norwegian (her first tongue), English and a generous amount of Icelandic. She also knows greetings/swear words in a handful of other languages. Click here for some of her smaller facts.
→ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Family. She'll clam up unless you're close to her. Otherwise she's very open-minded, but if you're a scumbag around her, she'll side-eye you. Also, don't hurt her friends in front of her unless you like getting punched by a freight train. (...she'll probably just restrain you, but still.)
Abilities |
→ THE DAYBREAKER: Spreading from the runes on her palms when called, she can summon the Daybreaker, a great-axe that looks as though it's made of sunlight — but pieced together like stained glass. The Daybreaker, in addition to being an incredibly formidable weapon (as a real great-axe would be), shines like sunlight itself, which helped her ancestors turn trolls to stone before destroying them. While it hacks away, like a normal axe of its size would do, it also burns severely and can set fire to things, as though it was spitting hot oil.
→THURISAZ'S MIGHT: Meja has what most would term 'super strength', able to bend iron without much in the way of effort. She can also take blows that would ordinarily crush a human of her size, and cannot die of, or be affected by, mundane poisons or diseases.
→ANSUZ'S GRACE: She can fight, and run, for hours without becoming tired. She's also not affected by weak magic — it takes something substantial to punch through her abilities.
→HEL'S VISION: Her Vision comes from Haglaz on her right forearm, given to her by the goddess Hel to help her survive Ragnarok. The runic vision allows her to see: strong magical auras, spirits, things slightly phased out of reality, spots where people have died (marked by dark fog for recent deaths, and mist for older deaths), and shadowy remnants of almost-mortal wounds on the living (a shadowy slash where a person almost died from a knife wound, for example). Very, very strong auras will give her a headache, if she looks at them too long.
→LAGUZ'S PROTECTION: This is a further boost of her other runic abilities, given to her by one of Frigg's handmaidens, Eir, the Goddess of Healing. Laguz protects her from supernatural venoms and poisons, preventing them from being able to kill her. (They can still affect her to some degree, just not to a lethal point.)
Weaknesses |
→ ANTI-MAGIC FIELDS: Meja's runes will completely de-power, when she is inside such an effect, though not instantly. It's sort of like battery power being expelled at a suddenly massive rate. She will get progressively less tough until she is completely at human average, after only a few minutes. There is an inherent danger in her being inside such a field for a long period of time, however. Her brain and body has had to rewrite itself and adjust to the magic that typically roars through her system. When suddenly deprived, she will slowly begin to have minor problems (shortness of breath, migraines, dizzy spells) followed, eventually, by passing out. (After about 4-6 hours.) This is why the runes are passed down after death: adults cannot live without them, once their bodies have adjusted. Once she passes out, she will not reawaken until the field is turned off, eventually falling into a coma.
HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN. If you would be so kind, relating to Hel's Vision, please do me a huge favor and fill out the following (and here are snow leopard cubs for your trouble):
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Yes! He's a vampire and died, so. He was shot by his father, so I'd imagine she'd see that gunshot wound. That happened in 1864, so I'd imagine by now that it's misty.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Yes, if you'd like!
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE?: I don't know if it would qualify, but she's also free to see the werewolf bite he received on his left forearm/inner elbow area. He did nearly die from that though this was after he became a vampire. So, I'm not sure if that'd qualify or not. It's up to you!
There was also that one time
Balthazar's long-lost viking twinMikael put his hand through Damon's chest and started to pull his heart out. Both of these happened within the past two years. Again, totally up to you!no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: A resounding duh with this one, me thinks. Ciara's not like uber-powerful, but that whole being a magical wolf fairy would probably register.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: There's nothing I can think of, but if I think of something, I will let you know. Conversely, if there's something you feel she should, lemme know and I'll give it a thought!
no subject
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Yep, yep. Demonbutt over here definitely.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Yes.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE?: I think Meja would finally be able to see Ruby's true face. I have no real particular/strong headcanon about what that looks like so you don't really have to be agonizing over detail. You can just pretty much rest assured it's probably got a lot of nasty stuff like rotten/missing flesh, scars, and very unnatural things about it that's both terrifying and nauseating.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Yes, Arya is a warg. She just doesn't really understand it still because nobody's really sat down with her and explained it/taught it to her.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Nah, nothing I can think of.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Yep, angelpants over here. SHOCKER, I KNOW.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Nope. While I'm chill with her seeing Ruby's true form, I don't want to risk burning poor Meja's eyeballs out or making her ears bleed. :( Though little slips of that is certainly okay if you think she'd have enough of a buffer. But as a general rule of thumb, nope.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Not exactly magical, per se, but it might apply anyway
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: yes
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE?: All I can think of is the Source Blood in her or faint humming of her longevity. But if you can think of something, by all means, go for it.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: He's an angel, so, sure.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: His wings probably don't fall under that, though she might be more capable of seeing a shadowy trace of them, but idk, she might be able to have some perception of the taint of Hell on his mind?
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: WELP YES.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: TOTALLY.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE?: Obviously, Frost will be ... frosty. She might be able to sense his general presence, if you like, but I imagine she'd only be able to actively see his aura when he's in his sculpted form, because that's when it's condensed. It does apparently stay to his core--around his chest-area--because his enemies have been able to hit it to cripple him, so his essence will probably look like an aura radiating from his physical centre and extending past his physically sculpted boundaries.
As for that ... the biggest thing she'll probably see about him is that he's only half of a whole. Morozko has the sheer power, but Frost is literally the anchor controlling what he can do and where he goes; Frost's aura might seem 'small' compared to the half behind him, but it's ultimately balanced against that half. Because of that, Meja might even be able to see shades of what Old Man Winter looked like before he was split. (Basically he looked like a combination. Where Frost is icy, I imagine Morozko to be more 'snowy' looking, deceptively softer. Old Man Winter is taller than either, thickset and sturdy in body but with a snow-cloak which acts like limbs and makes him look thinner than he is--as well as larger. Hair-wise it's half-frozen, vacillating between being snowy and being icicles. He's 'clean-shaven', so to speak, but the floaty-nature of the snow-cloak can make him see otherwise.)
Frost can't die, but Meja might still be able to see his 'mortal' wounds. He'd have evidence of being impaled through his midriff and his lower body shattered; of dozens of tiny wounds where he was impaled by dozens of cherry-branches and then completely shattered; possibly there will be a greater shadow he casts because of how he was melted down, over and over, while he was being tortured by Ty'Lis. As well as shattered. Over and over.
... Yeah this boy did not have a fun time while Ty'lis was trying to murder him and failing.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: MOST DEFINITELY
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: I would be okay with it in itself, but I'm going to say that Gabe's wards hide most of him from her sight because otherwise lolsplodeybrain. THAT SAID I don't mind her seeing some things if it can be done without her being hurt.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE?: I reckon she should be able to see the shadows of his wings when he doesn't have his wards tightened. :3 Just because wing-porn. At the least, the shadows of his six flight-wings, a la fan-art. BUT if you'd like her to see more than that, and see how many wings he has, I'd be fine with that too!
Otherwise, in general ... HAHAHAHA yeah his aura will be way too strong for her to see more than that without the splodeybrain part. So wards will keep her protected, and loose-wards means she can see shadows of wings.
She'd probably be able to see the shadow of his being impaled, too. I mean, for his vessel, that's a mortal wound. Actually, he's probably been stabbed there a few times thanks to people thinking he's a pagan god, but the one from Lucifer will be the deepest and rawest.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Nick just has his keyblade.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: YEP.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE?: Well, I imagine the keyblade would register as somehow glowy. And possibly she would see its basic form, which is all about Greek letters (I WILL GIVE MORE DETAILS WHEN I HAVE A BRAIN otherwise it's pretty sharp-edged and deco). I'm not sure how bad a wound has to be before it's mortal, but she might see the shadow of the acid-burn he got from the xenomorphs on his right shoulder and arm.
no subject
NAME: Chris Halliwell
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM? Yes.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM? Yup-yup.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE? Chris is a witch/whitelighter (guardian angel-type) hybrid and as such puts out a fairly strong aura. Nothing mind-breaking, but you'd better not sneeze all over it, either. He has a long gash along his right side, now healed into a scar, that would have killed him in canon and would appear as a shadowy remnant.
NAME: Sefton Lowell
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM? This would be up to you. See below.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM? Continue going lower.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE? Here we are. Sefton gives off a strong, but contained biomagnetic field. The ability is purely genetic in nature; whether Meja could see it due to its strangeness or be unaware because it is, technically speaking, completely natural would be your choice.
NAME: Liam McNaly
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM? Uh-huh.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM? Yes, ma'am.
IF YES, WHAT WOULD SHE SEE? Liam is a ghost! He does lots of ghosty things and died thanks to a lung-shot. He is not particularly magical aside from his inherent spirit-ness. Generally speaking, he hides from the perception of mortals and the still-living unless he chooses, but Meja's ability means she would likely be able to perceive him much more often than he would like.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Yep! Vampire dealie. Go for it.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Not that I can think of! She's a genetic vampire and so never 'died', so I don't think Hel's Vision would cover anything else.
Also, I'll edit this with future character(s)!
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: I'd say so!
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Sure. Umm...
Jedi, and Sith to a lesser extent, think of the Force as kind of like God, though a fairly impersonal, alien one, and culturally they'd protest hearing it in those terms. Using the Force is basically working miracles. Anakin Skywalker was created by Sith to be the most powerful Force-Sensitive of his age.
His son inherited that potential, but wasn't manipulated for years and is genuinely more kind, empathic, and spiritual. He pays more attention to it, and his presence is quite strong. Not Revan-level bright, but very noticeable. There's marks in it where he fell once to the Dark Side. It seems to move and shift with his attention, but in an orderly way. Often when he's talking to someone his presence touches theirs, letting him 'listen' to theirs and how it changes.
Luke has had so many near-death injuries, I don't have them catalogued. He's been burned, shot, frozen, lightsabered, electrocuted, infected, stabbed, parted from his body... Hell, technically he's died before. He got better.
NAME: Janine Farehouse
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: Hmm... I guess it does!
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: Sure. Well, Janine's arguably a human spirit possessing a psychic pterosaur, and left there for so long that her old identity's blurred and partly submerged?
There would be tooth marks on her body where a Tyrannosaurus picked her up and she almost bled to death. The time she dislocated her wing would have led to a more indirect death, so maybe that wouldn't show.
no subject
DOES HEL'S VISION APPLY TO THEM?: She's an eldritch horror, so yeah. She'd likely see some ever-moving chaotic stuff with messed up angles, lots of eyes and maws, and general creepyness.
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH MEJA SEEING SOMETHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THEM?: If you can think of something, sure!
