central to their religion are two groups of gods, the aesir and vanir. the gods lived in asgard, a kingdom that was connected to mortal earth (known as midgard) by a rainbow bridge known as bifrost. the pantheon includes but does not limit to odin, thor, and freyja (list of other gods). there are also evil giants, dark elves, and dwarves. the gods are destined to fight against the giants and other evil forces in a battle known as ragnarok. norse prophecy predicts that the gods would lose this battle, allowing asgard, midgard, and the entire universe to collapse into darkness and chaos. warriors who die nobly in battle could end up in valhalla, a sort of warrior heaven where everyone gets to fight alongside odin, die, feast, and do it all over again the next day. they are escorted to valhalla by the valkyrie, which are sort of like warrior angels who assisted odin. it is believed that we are not only the worshippers (worship meaning "to give honor to") of the aesir and vanir, but that we are also spiritually and physically related to them. we are part of their tribe or kin, we honor them in the same way respected elders are who have worked and continue to work at strengthening that family physically, emotionally, and spiritually. giving a gift (sacrifice) is a sign of friendship, kinship, and connection.	every summer, the family will gather at midnight the highest full moon to have a bl?t, which is a sacrifice to the gods and the spirits of the land, asking for fertility, good health, a good life and peace and harmony between the people and the powers. how do they know they're supposed to gather? as children they were taught a saying: "wenn der mani ist auf ihrem h?hepunkt, zu uns hitta" which means "when the moon is at its peak, come to us." they are taught to gather at the holiest body of water, where they will sacrifice boar and deer on the shore. have an idea for a festival? pm jaeger's account with it and we'll try to work it in as a festival.
ketildis x geirthor svanerna, salfinna, anvarr, cynfrith, and laeric svanerna x unknown freyleif, einvir, kaprasius, and jaeger
? the finnvi line, though as muddled as it is now, was started when geirthor, a hitman, was hired to take a hit on a beautiful, but dangerous sage. he was warned of her siren-like magics, but did not take any heed to it. once captured between a rock and a hard place, ketildis worked her magic and played him into believing she was his literal soul-mate, and that killing her would mean killing part of himself. ? as may try to adopt any of the names above (besides jaeger, kapra, and the grandparents) that are not struck out. you may even try for a cousin (one of the parents must be one of svanerna's siblings). as people are accepted, the family tree will be added to. ? the language they speak is primarily german, though a few nouns here and there can be from the nordic language. (once adopted, we'll link you to a place you can find these things) ? they have a family motto: gaman ? leiden, which means "pleasure is suffering." why such a dark motto? because they're vikings, bro. they hurt people in raids to get the things they enjoy in life. ? "do all family members have to be darkly aligned?" nope. they can believe in fairness and justice and all that knightly stuff, as long as you make it fit the family. just because jaeger is insane in the membrane, doesn't mean the entire family has to be. ? ketildis has marble blue eyes (like jaeger's right eye) and geirthor has mercury eyes with gold flecks. so don't lean too far away when choosing eye colors (neices/nephews/cousins may differ because of secondary parent). svanerna's eyes are like her father's, if you're adopting her. (which, if you are adopting her, don't be offended if i reject your app - svanerna is an important key to jaeger's history and i will be picky) ? please note that jaeger's reputation with the family is very low. it would benefit you to read his history. now if you're adopting laeric, he should probably be a little crazed on trying to hunt down jaeger to prove he's guilty. "what about kaprasius?" the family does not know he is with jaeger. ? i also forgot to mention that all family will be required to be religious fanatics. they love their religion and will die for it. now, if you want them to stray away from it in time, then by all means: after they're adopted, they're yours. but i'd really like to get at least one festival of the fam together. now you're probably wondering, "well how are they going to all get together if they are hunting for jaeger?" this is just how fanatic they are; they will drop all reputations and feelings in order to properly show the gods' their loyalty and thanks.

bumpity bump bump bump.

am i allowed to bump these?

this is finished now, guise. don't forget to read the notes, they're important ;3

You finished! C; Firstly, I want to know if you had any sketches of what Svanerna siblings look like? (or some design ideas I could use xD) I'm really interested in joining in on this, I had alot of question but you pretty much answered them. I'll look be on the hunt for a name, and personality ideas.

unfortunately i don't :c i was on a desktop for a limited time when i finished this, and now i'm confined to a phone again. as long as they look like they could have came from ketildis and geirthor, i think it'll be fine :3

also, i remembered some things to add to the notes and editing the original post would be very difficult on this phone xD

? ketildis has marble blue eyes (like jaeger's right eye) and geirthor has mercury eyes with gold flecks. so don't lean too far away when choosing eye colors. svanerna's eyes are like her father's, if you're adopting her.

i really had thought there was more, but it's slipping my mindat the moment xD

added them to main post

Ooh, okay! I've read through his history and all, so, I'm going to take a guess, that he's guilty, for killing his sister and mating with his mom? Either ways is fine. I like the idea of Laeric hunting him down, so, I'm going to adopt him. c: He's going to have most of Geirthor's features, -scratches head for any ideas- I also, like the idea of them coming together to sacrifice. I was wondering has the idea of them sacrificing other wolves or has it always been boar?

aweh crap! can you guys add somewhere in the apps how they're related? xD i was in such a rush writing this adoption thread, i forgot a lot ;-; added to form

also; sacrificing other wolves would have been something they could have done, but we can't really just go around sacrificing people's chars xD though it's not always boar and deer, the animals vary with the gods. freyja is boar, odin is deer (idk if that's a true fact, just something i made up xD) and i haven't made a list for the others. and to answer your question - yes, jaeger is guilty but only kaprasius knows he killed their siblings and only his mother knows the truth about them mating. kapra guesses that it's true (and is about to find out in a thread that it is). laeric only highly suspects it all to be true and has no real evidence.

NAME
Laeric
SURRNAME
Finnvi
AGE
5 Years Old; Uncle of Je and Kap
GENDER
Male

APPEARANCE
Being the son of Ketildis and Geirthor, Laeric happened to inherit his farther?s maroon coat, he also has the same ashen colored markings only on his face, he has small circles that incase his eyes, both connecting. Combined with the black coloring engulfing his muzzle, coming together to make a look much like a mask on his face. His eyes could be the only indication of his relation to his mother, they are a deep cobalt blue, along with a couple flecks of gold around his pupil. Since the beginning, he has felt the undying urge to defend, and shelter what is dear to him. Doing so, he has trained hard in combat, and military standards, shaping his body into a machine built for battle. Standing at a height of 40? and weighing 145 pounds, his body has responded well to his training when he was growing up, and he still finds the time to sharpen his abilities often.
PERSONALITY -- LAWFUL EVIL
Stubborn Though he has aged, he has yet to loose his close-mindedness, which has been apart of him since his youngster days. It is very hard to try to pull him away form his original thoughts, if not impossible. He is also very reluctant to listen to orders given to him, unless, he has agreed or believes that it will benefit him some way as well. Thus, making it very hard to deal with him, he will likely give you more than enough feedback on an issue.

Blunt: He has never been the brute to sugar-coat anything, prepare to get an ear full, and the harsh truth when seeking advice form him. Even if it is a simple conversation, his words are mostly harsh and to the point, he keeps his response short, passive, unless, he feels that it needs to be addressed more. It isn't uncommon for him to do some "friendly-fire" with close friends or relatives, he wants to make is point known, so, he will not hesitate to hold back his thoughts.

Instinctive: Always relying on his gut, it is not uncommon for him to step out of line when something is pestering him, he is likely to voice him in his usual gruff, and growling voice. A change of scenery(unless intentional) is very unsettling to him, therefore, you will have to explain to him why this is needed, but, even then it is very hard to steer him the right way. This could also be linked to his hunt on capturing his nephew - Jaeger - although, he has no evidence in what he is accusing him of, he is still intent on finding him and delivering justice.

Arrogant:

Unforgiving:

Hot-Headed:

I was pretty much going for the corrupted leader thing. cx So, he'll will be breaking a few rules, but, will stay true to the religion as everyone else.
