Ratatoskr
A Beast Untamed
Foolish is he to enter the treacherous land best known as the innards of the Yggdrasil. The twine of ether wields many dangers on its lonesome, yet many voracious beasts prowl it. Most notable of these is Tusk the Traveler, a Titan born as an infant alongside the Yggdrasil tree itself. He is doomed to forever remain in its branches, never allowed to interact with the outside world. With that being said, he finds great joy in pissing off the far and few people with the ability to travel through the Yggdrasil, most commonly, Odin. Ratatoskr is thought to be completely invulnerable, decorated with primal runic scripture that not even the mightiest of Vanir have been able to decipher. Gungnir bounced off of his matted, disgusting fur, doing no more than rousing his tantrum. When Ratatoskr rampages, the worlds shake.
“You heathen. Foul beast who haunts the branches of Yggdrasil, set your cosmic eyes upon this realm, upon I, your dominator, for together we shall unleash chaos”
“I trust only you can use this Jarngrim to its full ability, Aemon. You’re the biggest prick I know.” - Aegon
Stage One - The storm of fur, The barrage of words
Ratatoskrs Jarngrim is a wooden tribal mask in the shape of a long horned squirrel face with an eerie aura attached to it, seeming almost unrealistic. Donning this mask does not flood you with power, nor does it unlock an arsenal never before seen. His chittering fills your head, tearing your will apart until you’re nothing more than a crude berserker who feeds off of reaction.
Móðgun (Insult)- Pissing your opponent off is the goal with Ratatoskr. The more they react to what you do, the more your chaotic presence affects them and what they do. Fireballs can sputter out or blow up in their face if they’re bothered enough. The reaction is unpredictable for them, but set by you, the one who initiates it. This power is useless against someone who doesn’t respond to you whatsoever, but visual ticks of irritation are enough to enforce this chaotic law upon them.
Talandi (Land Speaking)- . Ratatoskr is deeply connected with the Yggdrasil, resulting in him and whoever inherits his curse being capable of interacting with nature. Trees are alive, and in this world of magic and mystery, it isn’t entirely unbelievable that they have voices. Piss off nature and give rise to raging elementals, plagues, /natural/ disasters and absurdity through chaos.
Friðhelgi (Invigoration)- Once you have reached a point of chaos that you deem expansive and suitable, you can start to feed off of it. The more absurdities you cause, the more your power steadily grows. This seems a bit silly at first, but there is a deeper meaning to it. This is merely taking advantage of the curse placed on you, replacing the debuff you presently cause with self-empowering buffs. This is an off and on switch that you should tactically use to bend the tide of battle in your favor. The more insulting you are, the more you can debuff your opponent, and when you’ve wrecked enough havoc, feed off of the chaos and become a rampant beast hellbent on destruction. Amplify yourself heavily, though, proportionate to what you’ve caused. Pissing off one Dryad won’t turn you into a monster, but with enough fuckery occuring around you, you can become a force that not even the fiercest of warriors would dare reckon with.
