((This is my second try at creating a role-play, so be nice.))
Odin, the Terrible King God, has seized the different realms. Using the power of the other gods, he has killed many people, and destroyed many homes. Jotunheim, Midgard, Niflheim. Each nation, land, and village has been brought to it's knees by Odin's iron fist. The Valkyries, saviors of them all, have been tossed aside. All who oppose the fierce ruler have been crushed.
However, as always, when a ruler becomes too powerful and begins to abuse that power, resistance was assured. And it is here. Different bands of rebels have formed, and though futile, have thrown themselves at Odin and the gods that serve him, in a desperate attempt to bring him down.
The Valkyries have grown angry too. They take up arms against the gods, and wish to bring peace to the world again. They can bring either salvation or destruction to the world. The final battle is drawing near. What side will you choose?

Alright, follow Morpheaus' rules, and please don't post any one-liners. They're so very annoying.
You can be either a warrior of Odin, a Valkyrie, or a warrior who wishes to aid the Valkyries in their quest. Yes, all Valkyries are women. No, you cannot be Odin. Alright, let's get started.

((Here's mine.))
Name: Camille Valkyrie
Age: 2,069
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://www.cf-network.com/cfan/IMG/jpg/pict_big_valkyrie.jpg
Species: Dis'ir ((Minor Female Deities))
Fighting Style: Valhalla Blade
Weapons/Powers: Yggasdril; A blade forged from a leaf of the Tree of Life, Yggdrasil. It has tremendous healing abilities, and can cut through almost anything. I was given to her by Odin to destroy Loki, The Trickster, during Ragnarok.
Gem of Jotunheim/ Gem of Midgar; Two sacred gems from the realms of Jotunheim and Midgar which grant the user full control over sacred magicks, but require a steady supply of life and essence from the user to be fully functional. This renders Camille very weak at times.
History: Camille is a valkyrie, recently awakened warrior-maiden that Odin has served with the task of recruiting the souls of deceased warriors, or Einherjar from the world of mortal men, Midgard, so that they may assist in the war against Surt, and prevent the destruction of Asgard in Ragnarok. Camille is a goddess of the morrow, meaning that occasionally she can catch glimpses of what lies ahead of her. A loyal servant, she does as she is asked until she one day discovers that in Odin's conquest for power, he has slain her two sisters, Prillim and Acasia, for their disobedience. Enraged, she lashes out against Odin, only to be stripped off her power as a valkyrie, and cast down into Niflheim for her treason.
After 5,000 years of continuous slumber, Camille suddenly awakens to find that the world has changed, and that she has been reborn into the body of a human girl. Still seeking revenge against Odin, she returns to Niflheim, slays Hel, the goddess of the dead, and steals the sacred sword, Yggasdril. Using the sword, she slays the wolves Skoll and Hati, and steals their gems of Jotunheim and Midgar. She now continues to seek out Odin, in a quest for retribution.
"The gods warred for longer than most of us can remember. From what grossmuter told me, it all started when Loki, The Trickster, killed Balder, the god of all things good. Odin, the King God, grew enraged at Loki, and declared an all out war between him, his army, and the gods of old. The war raged, on and on, neverending, and mankind suffered. The strokes of Odin's sword cut gorges in the earth. When the ground was struck by Thor's hammer, tremors shook the earth. Every day, the gods fought. And everyday, more people died. Soon, the people grew sad. They lost all hope of survival. Surely, this is the end, they said. However, there was hope. When the war was drawing to a close, and only a few strong fighters remained, the Valkyries tepped foward. The beautiful warrior maidens, who had the power to bring an end to the war. With a single stroke of their swords, the war ended. Loki saw defeat, and fled. Odin regained his position as ruler of the cosmos, and order and balance was restored. But now, Odin is doing something very bad. He's trying to hurt the humans. And the Valkyries...
...are very, very mad."
...are very, very mad."
