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.

? 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 - thus, the finnvi legend. ? you may try to adopt any of the names above (besides jaeger, kapra, and their 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, i'll link you to a place you can find these things). if you want, you can say they are fluent in english but i would like for them to usually speak german. ? 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. no one knows where he is at the moment. ? i should 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.	I REALLY WANT SOMEONE TO TRY TO ADOPT LAERIC OR SVANERNA. reading the notes is very important. do not ask questions before reading the notes.

mumsy

APPEARANCE
The woman is a divine creature. She looks like a creation of evil and light mixed into one. An angel summoned from darkness. Her body is so perfect no one could resist such a sight. Her fur is a mix of contrasting yet excellent tones of white, black and red. Her back is a deep black that spreads to her ears and the top of her head and muzzle. The ebony slides into a gentle shade of red that consumes her entire tail and can be seen across the sides of her muzzle and on some of her legs. Her belly and the bottom of her muzzle is wrapped in a pristine white that is nearly blinding. Her four paws are also white. Sva is the image of a temptress. She stands at about 30 inches, which would be an average height for a normal Wolf. Though, under that lovely pelt is a set of capable muscles. She may look like a Goddess but she knows how to slit throats. Her eyes are just like her fathers, they resemble mercury with gentle flakes of gold edged in. The woman is a sight no one should ever live without seeing.
PERSONALITY
Svanerna is a serpant always looking for her next victim. She is always on the prowl with eyes peeled. Games are an obsession of hers. To toy with the mind is her greatest past time. The girl loves to make people melt, to make the break down, to kill from the inside out. She is no sucker and is quite intelligent. The girl always thinks before she speaks, though it would seem she does enjoy the sweet sound of her own voice. There is no lack of confidence at all. Despite her slightly smaller size the woman is not afraid of charging in and showing people who is boss even if she really shouldn't.

The girl is all about her family, she loves her sons to death. Even though Jaeger had done such a horrible act to two of her pups she could not resist the man. SHe had created perfection with that one night stand. Perfection times two. She saw her pups as men, not babies. There is an odd attraction within her eyes when she looks at them and she is not ashamed of it. Her mind does not work like most. Her extreme confidence comes with an extreme lack of shame when it came to anything. Though, she would not openly explain the details of her relationships to anyone, she would not hide any of her emotions.

Svanerna is ruled by her religion. The woman worships her Gods more then anyone. She would drop everything for them, she would kill for them, she would die for them. The woman is a believer every moment of the day. If anyone were to insult her religion she would grow quite enraged. The girls lives by the Goddess Freyja, the woman being her idol in sorts. She dreams of being so powerful and beautiful, she shapes her own life after the Goddess.

The woman laid within her den sound asleep. Her fur laid still until a blast of brisk air hit her head on. The woman woke up for a single moment and shivered softly before falling back asleep. Her fur laid perfectly upon her body. The ebonies and reds were darkened from the lack of light but the white seemed to glisten in the sight of the moonshine. Another black of wind hit her and the girl awoke with a growl. Those silver orbs slipped to the entrance of her earthy den. It was a cold night and the bitch hated the cold. Sva got onto all fours and rolled her shoulders. A luxurious yawn was let forth as she slithered from the den in a swift few movements. She looked around once more, the forest was eerie and quite. No critters were seen but a scent was inhaled. Sva hunched over and sniffed the ground, she sensed someone was there recently, someone very familiar. The woman raised a brow as she took a few more steps forward. A crack of a twig was heard to her left and that three tones head was turned swiftly. A three legged black and white male was caught red handed. The mother grinned lightly and turned to face her son. "My boy.." Her voice was a coo of delight. The girl smiled at the man she created. "Come give mum a hug.." Those mercury toned orbs shined as her sultry lashes fluttered. Her smirked and wobbled his way to her with a smirk. And so it began...

Ref, design was made by canttina. Thank you, canttina!

THIS IS HOW THIS THING WILL WORK;

after the first audition of a NAMED character (or after the first day an audition is completed), i will leave it open for competition for a week. after the last day, if no one else has posted with a COMPLETED audition then you win the character. if there is more than one, i will choose which one i think will fit best.

FOR EXAMPLE, say cantti & muse still want sva by the end of the week but muse didn't finish the audition.. cantti wins sva.

EXAMPLE TWO, cantti and muse both finished sva. i will ask if they both still want her, and then choose which audition i think works best as sva.


IF AUDITIONING FOR UNNAMED CHARACTER, there will be no time limit or competition. HOWEVER, i am only permitting each sibling of sva's to have 3 children. simply because i don't want this to be a huge family. they were marauders, not a large pack.


SVA'S AUDITION will end on the FIFTH instead of the second, since i am adding this rule today.


AS FURTHER NOTICE, since i am now limited to only a phone, you won't see me on the cbox. if you have any questions, text me (9189553261) or message jaeger's account.

NAME
Katja Anke
SURRNAME
Finnvi
AGE
2 years old
GENDER
female
RELATION
cousin (Anvarr's daughter)

APPEARANCE
Katja is thinly built, wiry and strong with hardly any fat to soften her sharp edges. Her face is angular, with sharp cheekbones and slightly slanted eyes, her muzzle is long and slim. Her rangy body is clothed in long, silky fur that for the most part hides the scars of her warrior trade. Her primary hue is a dark grey over much of her body, with silvery ticking touching the very tips of each guardhair, giving the impression of a rippling field of stars. A jet-colored mask, free of the silvery ticking of the rest of her body, covers the top of her face, from her nose to just under her ears and leaving her bottom jaw bare, a deaths-head mask suitable for the marauder she was. The same dark jet streaks around her tail in jagged half-rings of color and stains the tip. Each paw is dipped in the same dark color, fading to the usual dark gray around the level of her hocks. Her slanted eyes are the silvery hue of mercury, the faint gold flecks scattered though her irises the only hint color to grace this gray-scale wolf.
PERSONALITY
Warrior, marauder, and mercenary, Katja is ruthless in the pursuit of what she wants. She is completely and wholeheartedly dedicated to her religion above everything except family - how could religion be above family, when the gods themselves were kin? Her family and the gods are the most important things to her. She has dedicated herself to Freya's warrior aspect, swearing herself to celibacy in the belief that she was called upon to sacrifice her fertility to the goddess in return for her blessing in battle. She attributes her sharp intuition and instincts to the goddess, to her proof of the goddess' favor. She is a serious soul, neither feeling nor understanding the need for frivolity outside of a bl?t - and even then her frivolity is restrained in comparison to most. She does not trust easily, but those few who earn that trust will find her to be fiercely loyal. Katja tends to take the long view of things rather than the short view - when she accepts a job it is often for unspecified favors to be called in at a later date, no questions asked. She has no compunction against killing, whether it be in simple battle or a contract killing. A straightforward sort, she has no talent for lying or sarcasm, and is apt to say exactly what she thinks bluntly, without any tact or dissembling. Although Katja is slow to anger, threaten her family or blaspheme her gods and you waken a dragon - once truly roused she is an implacable and dangerous enemy.

Long had she been untangling the trail of her cousin, leaving it occasionally to take a job or rejoin her family for a time, but always returning to tracking him once more. Her uncle Laeric was obsessed with finding her erstwhile cousin and proving he had fathered children on his own mother, though she was unsure how he would produce evidence of such, but Katja needed no such proof. There was only one secret the normally-straightforward female had ever kept to herself, that she was already certain he had something to do with the horrific deaths of her two older cousins - that hideous gut feeling she'd had seeing him crying out about a bear attack could only be a warning from the gods, and the later rumors concerning an unnatural relationship between him and his mother had only cemented her certainty. She didn't know how he was involved, whether he had simply left them to their deaths like a coward, or engineered the bear attack, or was crazy enough to actually have killed them himself - she'd never liked him, never trusted him, so the third possibility seemed, but how could anyone do that to their own kin? it couldn't be possible, even for him - but she was sure he had something to do with it, and she hated him for the betrayal. But something had kept her silent on the subject - another warning, perhaps - and she'd kept her search quiet. Now she'd found where he'd gone; she was sure of it. Gold-specked mercury eyes swept across the terrain, searching for the wolf that matched the scent in her quivering nose. But no, the scent was too old. Days old, by the faintness of the lingering odor. His scent, the betrayer, nearly masked by the stench of rotting meat. Katja's eyes narrowed as she snorted, trying to clear her nose of that disgusting smell. No, Jager was not here, not anymore. But he had been, and far more recently than any other trace she'd found of him. He was here, traveling this land they called Alacritis. So would Katja remain, not to return to her home until she had found him and either got the truth from him... or killed him.

ooo i really like katja c:

one question though, what would the mother's full name be? it can be unknown if you'd like.

and also you may make her <3

Ha. Just now saw this. *slow*

For the mother's name... uhm... I'd be ok with leaving it unknown, because I'm terrible with names. XD

And yay!

NAME
Au?ra
SURRNAME
Finnvi
AGE
4 years
GENDER
Female
RELATION
Cousin (child of Anvarr)

APPEARANCE
Slender, tall, lean and wiry, Au?ra's flesh seems to flow like water when she moves. Her features are angular, though not as sharp as her sisters, and her narrow muzzle tapers delicately from her head. Delicate russett-colored paws grace the ends of her well-toned ebony legs. Slim shoulders taper to wider hips and a long, flowing tail.


Brilliant sapphire blue eyes stand out strikingly from the snowy base of the femme's pelt. Au?ra's coat is soft, silken and thick and adds volumne to her wiry frame. Standing at 31" she is fairly average. Au?ra's eyes are sharp and piercing and seem almost if they are looking directly through whatever the femme is looking at. The upper half of her body is a ticked and patchy mix of silvers, greys and cool russett tones. Au?ra's muzzle and tail are tipped in black with the inky color staining her legs and marking a match on her lower chest between her front legs. Marks of russet trace the outside of her muzzle, ending at the corners of her eyes.






PERSONALITY
Eerie and mysterious, Au?ra is a quiet femme that walks softly and rarely speaks. After being captured by a rival group of Norwegian-speaking mauraders as a pup, Au?ra grew up having to learning a language separate from that of her family. As such she is slow to speak and relys heaving on body language, hers and the others to communicate. She does know a little German now but old habits die hard.


Mistaking Au?ra's quiet nature for frailty is a fatal mistake. No meek lamb, this fae's placid nature comes across as threatening more than comforting, like a snake coiled to strike. She takes in the actions of those around her, observing, calculating and preparing her strikes. Not prone to acts of aggression it takes a lot to get Au?ra riled and even then her vengeance is usually plotted behind the dark veils of her mind. This doesn't mean Au?ra is a pushover when it comes to physical combat. She is deadly in her own right though her passions fall in the realms of poisons as well as the feminine arts of healing. Au?ra seeks to keep her family of warriors healthy and dangerous. The whetstone to their swords.


Au?ra feels a special and strong connection to her religion that only blossomed and grew in intensity during her captivity. While she has numerous questions her steps are unwavering in her faith. Au?ra has vivid and lucid dreams that she feels are visions sent to her by the gods and she holds this as indisputable proof of their existence and role in her family's life. Au?ra now travels with her sister on a noble mission in search of Jaegar in search of the justice that Laeric has commanded them to seek.



LEMME GET A TASTE



N?tt had whispered to her in her dreams, filling her head with visions of stormy seas and the cries of carrion birds. As always her dreams seemed to intensify just before dawn and as the tendrils of sunlight slipped across her eyes, Au?ra woke with a start. Blinking she rose gracefully to her feet, sapphire blue eyes peering down at the band of sunlight that retreated across the den floor as it was swallowed up by shadow. The femme could tell that it was still early morning but as she slipped languidly from her keep and into the forest she realized the reason for light's sudden retreat. Ullr was bringing snow. That noble son of Sif and lord of the hunt. She would need his blessing later this day when it was time for her to eat but for the moment she was called to travel, hoping to move swiftly through the whisper-fall of snow. She had another quarry that was at the forefront of her mind and that of much of her family. Another hunt? was this a sign that they were close?


Katja, her sister was not far ahead. The pair had been tracking the long-since faded trail of Jaegar, accused of crimes against the family and the gods themselves. They were able to trace his scent with confidence to Alacritis but from there it wound and wove it's way in a plethora of knotted trails. This task would not be easy. Au?ra caught up with her sister, offering a soft smile in greeting, her tail lightly wagging. She did not care to speak to often. She did not always fully understand her siblings and while she was learning there was still a barrier to overcome, a briar of words that still made her wary of how best to navigate them. But words were not always vital to a wolf, a creature who could communicate with form and movement. She fell a bit behind her sister, allowing the other to take the lead. While younger, Au?ra was confident in Katja's abilities. It was only a matter of time now. Jaegar's day of reckoning was at hand.

the three pups per uncle do not need to be littermates. and in order for her to be four, she must have just turned four this spring (since jae will turn four this summer). for anyone else planning on applying for a cousin - no older than a four year old born in the spring.

as for anja being the mother's name, that is totally doable.

and i do like the idea of her having been captured and now possessing a language barrier c:

Are you open for suggestions on the relatives? Like, can I make a relative and just cross my fingers? I have a character who used to be a viking wolf, all I'd have to do is alter her a tiny bit and decrease her age if your interested?

if it's a cousin or uncle other than laeric, yeah i'm open as long as they're really religious

App Finished! :3

luns, you can make au?ra c:


sva auditions are closed until i hear back from cantti. if she doesn't want her, then sva will be back ufa

sva is now taken by cantti. i'll edit the family tree when i can
