Character: Deity Name: Odin Pantheon: Norse Current Alias: Eric Wednesday Apparent Age: Early 30s Occupation: Investment Banker
Personality: Pragmatic, a touch vain and just enough ego to see him through all the necessary hurdles Eric Wednesday is a man who gets by better then most and that suits him just fine. If he wants something he will find a way to get it - usually. Risks are only meant to be taken so far and for all his confidence Eric exceptionally keen on stepping lightly.
All in all his well put together appearance is exactly that. Behind the nice clothes, the firm handshake and knowing smile is a man who is slowly falling apart. Nightmares of a most vivid nature have been haunting him for the better part of three years.
Nightmares of blood, of battle, giants and worst of all...the hanging tree.
History: All Father, Lord of the Aesir of Asgard, his hall is Valaskjalf his throne Hlidskjalf. He is Odin and he sees all.
An impressive beginning - one that echoed through the ages and stretched far beyond the shores of home into the new world. Odin was brought to the Americas long before the English Colonists arrived. The Vikings landed with the force of an avalanche taking what they could and leaving the strange land as quickly as they had come.
What they left behind was a strange god in an even stranger land.
The All Father was nothing here a mere shadow that was chased away as soon as the beings that ruled the land caught sight of him. Thought and Memory were his only companions and the further Odin walked the further away the ravens flew. How he survived would be anyone's guest. A trick perhaps, one worthy of Loki himself.
Whatever the case may be the god-king did not fade.
The time between then and now is a murky blur, a dark spot on his subconscious that his waking mind skirts the edges of.
Eric Wednesday is a man. A very successful man. Nothing more or less.
