CHARACTER
✧ NAME: Hel
✧ SERIES: Norse mythology
✧ HISTORY:
Hel is the third child of Loki, Norse god of mischief, and Angrboda, a giantess. Her parents kept her and her two brothers in secret, but they were eventually discovered by the Aesir. Horrified by their monstrous appearances, Odin hurled one brother into the sea and chained another up, but for some reason, he gave Hel a job. She was tasked with ruling the underworld, Niflheim, and watching over the dead that did not make it into Valhalla.
✧ TIMELINE: Present day
✧ PERSONALITY:
Hel is, by most appearances, a normal twenty something girl. However, she is anything but. Hel is the Norse goddess of the dead and daughter of Loki, the god of mischief.
Sometimes Hel does things to excess. Most of her life, she’s been stuck ruling over a dark, depressing realm full of dark, depressing dead people. Obviously, there isn’t much to do in the land of the dead, so she may get a little crazy on her rare trips out. She’ll talk a little too loud, drink a little too much, to the point where it can be almost off-putting.
Hel is incredibly insecure about her appearance. While she is a fairly normal looking girl on top, she is quite literally a corpse from the waist down. She’s by far the most normal looking of her two full brothers, but she was still different enough to be deemed a monster and shoved out of sight by Odin. It’s been burned into her skull that she’s a hideous monster, and she believes it. She hides her legs in long dresses or pants, and almost never lets them see the light of day.
Her insecurities tend to make her a difficult person to deal with. She’ll lash out at people for the most inconsequential criticisms, usually when the other party isn’t aware they’ve done anything. She lets people in on a superficial level, but never any closer. If she ever accidentally lets anyone too close, she’ll try and sabotage the relationship. Her general thought is, if they get too close, they may hurt her one day. When it comes from strangers, it’s not terrible because she’s used to it. If it’s from someone she actually likes, though, the pain is pretty damn bad.
Truly her father’s daughter, Hel likes to screw with people. However, it seems she didn’t quite inherit the talent from dear old dad. Her trolling (for lack of a better term) comes across more as plain bitchiness than anything else. Once in a while though, she’s able to pull off a good trick (she’s still exceptionally proud of the whole “get everything to mourn for Baldur and then come talk to me” thing), but it's rare.
✧ ABILITIES/POWERS:
In Niflheim, Hel is incredibly powerful. She controls legions of the dead who haven’t died in battle. She knows everything that goes on within her realm. She also has the power to return the dead back to life, but it’s very difficult to get her to do so.
Within Promenade, however, Hel’s powers will be unnecessary and minimal. Without her army of dead people and death a temporary condition, she’ll be useless at best.
While it's not an ability, it's worth noting that Hel has the slight stench of rot about her at all times.
✧ TIME OF ARRIVAL: Day
✧ MASK DESIGN: A silver half-skull
✧ PLACE OF SOLACE: Her hall, Eljudnir.
SAMPLES
✧ FIRST PERSON:
[Hello Prom, here is a rage-y looking redhead staring into the camera.]
Okay, the way I see it, there are only two people who who could have done this. If it's option A, Ragnarök is so going down early when I get out of here, and I will personally see to it that you loose your other eye.
And if it's option B...
[Her expression goes from full on rage-y to angry and upset.]
I swear, I'm never sticking my neck out for you ever again, you hear me? I don't care that you're my father, you get nothing.
[She stares angrily into the camera for a few moments before speaking again.]
I will admit I like this new iPhone though.
✧ THIRD PERSON:
Hel knows what she has to do the moment she sees her brother give the girl his "You know you want this" grin (she's always though it makes him look kind of constipated). The girl is exceptionally pretty, with beautiful black hair and legs that go on for miles (the slut). She's the exact kind of girl a guy would brag for days about sleeping with, and oh this is going to be good.
She leans back into her booth, watching Fenrir work his "magic" from afar. She needs to wait until the last minute, until his victory is all but assured, to go in for the kill. It could take less than an hour, or more than three. It all depends on how drunk either party is, and luckily (for her brother), the girl seems nice and liquored up already. This won't take long at all.
It takes all of 27 minutes for Fenrir and the girl to start making out, and another 13 for the girl to reach for her jacket and stumble off the barstool and into his arms.
And, of course, that would be Hel's cue to get this thing going.
She quickly assumes a nervous, shy expression, and walks up behind Fenrir. She taps him on the shoulder, and when he turns, magic happens.
"Hi. Um, I know you probably don't remember me," she says, and biting lip, "But we, uh, met a couple weeks ago." She then takes this moment to meaningfully place a hand on her stomach, and attempts not to completely loose her shit
"I don't know how to say this, but...it's yours."
Hel doesn't even wait until the girl is out of earshot to crack up.
