[b][color=a0410d][u]Gender:[/u][/color][/b] Male [b][color=a0410d][u]Powers:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][color=a0410d][b]Shape-Shifting:[/b][/color] Jörm can transform into his massive serpentine form at will, only utilizing it if he needs to carry out any dangerous godly feats or any that requires his immense power to utilize. [*][color=a0410d][b]Incredible Strength:[/b][/color] In both forms, Jörm can unleash a great deal of strength towards any given assignment. Whilst his abilities are more impressive in his serpentine form, he's still capable of lifting large objects, such as massive boulders, or even stopping a speeding car, as a human. [*][color=a0410d][b]Incredible Durability:[/b][/color] Both forms represent the Jörm being capable in taking a major pounding if in battle. Again, while he's more durable in his beast form, his human form can also resist damage and takes more effort for anyone to grievously hurt him. Even bullets seem to initially have trouble getting to him at first! However, he can still feel pain at higher levels of stress or when taken enough damage. [*][color=a0410d][b]Venomous "Eitr":[/b][/color] In his serpentine form, Jörm's saliva is coaxed with a highly toxic venom (known as Eitr) that is rumored to be strong and potent enough to kill the gods of Midgard, such as the likes of Thor or Baldr. In his human form, Jörm can secrete this venom from two sharpened teeth near the front of his mouth, however his saliva is otherwise non-venomous. And in both forms, he can even blow such toxic breath in the form of a poisonous cloud of mist. [/list] [b][color=a0410d][u]Description:[/u][/color][/b] Standing at 6'4", Jörm's human form as "Hammond Callus Froder" is a tall individual with a rough and grizzled appearance. He sports messy brown hair sporting an undercut fade, bushy eyebrows, and shows a thick unkept beard. While his right eye is colored as an icy-blue, his left eye looks more reptilian-like in appearance and has a yellowish-orange tint in the iris. In order to keep that eye hidden, Hammond usually wears a pair of highly-reflective glasses when out and about in highly-dense areas, or wears an eyepatch if he's out fishing or sailing. In addition, a massive scar can be seen running down on that side of Hammond's face. His normal attire usually consists in wearing a worn-out fuzzy-blue sweater, which is covered by a thick heavy brown coat full of numerous pockets, and wears beige work-pants or roughed-up jeans. The coat Hammond often uses is rarely washed, and being that he is usually out fishing, one could usually smell the scent of fish and sea water strongly emanating off it. He can also be sometimes seen wearing a thick blue and white flannel jacket on occasions as well. His bestial form however is absolutely massive in scale. His face is thick and stout in appearance, almost box-like, with large crown of jagged spikes and has smooth stream-line scales flowing down his entire body. Long yellowish-brown bristles flow down his lower jaw, retaining the beard he utilizes in his human form, and his scar is still present in said form. His color pattern revolves around being primarily a dark-blue color, with some dark-crimson and yellow highlights situated around his face and the circular pattern running down his back. Large amphibious membranes flow down his back, ending in a paddle-like tail erilly-reminiscent of those on prehistoric mosasaurs. [b][color=a0410d][u]Personality:[/u][/color][/b] Jörm's tall stature and gruff voice may make him look imposing to approach on the outside, however he's been known to be very well approachable. He doesn't usually speak much, while also being somewhat blunt at times, he is otherwise known a kind-hearted, calm, and respectable individual - if not a little bit cautious. Despite being known to be often weary of other travelers coming near his cabin - in the event that they happen to be big-name Aesir gods in disguise - once he believes that the person in question is not a threat, he'll be kind enough to invite guests into his humble cabin. Jörm would provide them with temporary food and shelter before sending them back on their way. While he's fine being alone out in the wilderness of his shoreline cabin and going out fishing, he still could never shake off the feeling of loneliness that comes with his predicament, yet at the same time refusing to get too close with others. He also sports great knowledge of the sea and all who live in it, as well as the region he lives in as well. However, when encountered with anything he deems as a threat - especially when it comes to Aesir gods such as Thor, Baldr, Odin, etc - Jörm would be highly defensive when it comes to guarding his house and would often do anything to either completely annihilate his opponent or at the very least drive them off. [b][color=a0410d][u]Skills:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b][color=a0410d]Anglership:[/color][/b] His skills as a master angler had allowed him to catch many incredible catches, which include the likes of large sharks, marlins, and other weird sea-beasts. [*][b][color=a0410d]Heavy-Lifting:[/color][/b] Being how incredibly strong that he is, Jörm is well acquainted in carrying large logs or haul large carts with ease. [*][b][color=a0410d]Surprising Shot:[/color][/b] Carrying a well-worn hunting rifle in his cabin, Jörm has adequate training in firing said weapon. [/list] [b][color=a0410d][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b][color=a0410d]Slow-To-Combat:[/color][/b] While easily able to hold his own, Jörm isn't always the one to immediately go on the offensive. Hence if you ask him to come and battle so-and-so, he would often refuse the offer unless it specifically threatens his home. [*][b][color=a0410d]Bringer of Apocalypse... And Destined to Die:[/color][/b] The phrase how Jörm would begin the events of Ragnarok by the "release of its tail" stem directly to his demeanor. Despite being usually calm, it's been foretold that when came the day that the mighty World Serpent snaps against the vile world around him, he would commence the beginning... and that his destiny would lie by Thor's hammer before the day's end. [/list] [b][color=a0410d]Brief History:[/color][/b] [i]"The line of Odin's Offspring Lay not slack on the gunwale, When the huge ocean-serpent Uncoiled on the sea's bottom. The strong fiend's Terrifier In his right hand swung his hammer When he saw the loathly sea-fish That all the lands confineth."[/i] Born to the trickster god, Loki, and the giantess, Angrboða, Jörmungandr found himself as the middle child between his older brother - the monstrous wolf Fenrir - and his younger sister - the Queen of the Underworld, Hel. However, their futures would prove ominous according to the gods, who perceived of an ominous prophecy. It foretold of all three of Loki's offspring would bring forth great misfortune that would befall the entire world itself - known as Ragnarok. As a result, all three were brought upon Odin's doorstep and were all outcasted from society. For Jörm, Odin casted him out into the deep sea, where he left him presumably to die. However, the great serpent didn't perish within the dark depths of the ocean and found himself growing to the point where many presumed that he must have encapsulated the entire world! Yet the World Serpent didn't bother to care for the world around him, only laying dormant within the frigid waters... searching for food or otherwise biting its own tail in utter frustration. Not much had been documented upon Jörm after his creation. However, two stories were uncovered, both revealing an encounter with the mighty God of Thunder, Thor. One, however, revealed a more harrowing tale that cemented their rivalry forever. On a fishing trip with the Jotunn, Haymir, Thor used the head of an ox to act as bait. However, it attracted the World Serpent and a mighty battle between the two became ominously imminent. A minor brawl took place, with Thor being able to place an early hit by producing a large gash vertically across the creature's left eye - one which Jörm still bears to this day. However, in a fit of panic, Hymir quickly cut the line, resulting in the massive sea serpent to descend back into the ocean with the bait still in his mouth. It was on that day when Jörm's abhorrence for the Aesir God grew to its near-boiling point. He claimed that if he ever saw that arrogantly fat dobber for a third time, that he would mercilessly track him down and kill him. Yet another long period of time passed, and on one particular day, the World Serpent found himself being able to turn into a human. He plopped himself on land and proceeded to wander the remote shore of which he brought himself upon. But not long after, he found an abandoned cabin on a shallow precipice overlooking the sea. With no one seemingly having been to it recently, Jörm took residence of the cabin, gave himself a new name, and began to live his life as a remote angler - feeding upon the catch that the great sea had to offer. Yet as he enjoyed his peaceful life out in the wild, he seems blissfully unaware of the approaching days of Ragnarok slowly clamoring towards him ever slowly... for it was foretold that he would bring upon the end of days upon the 'release of his great mighty tail'. And as signs began to point in confirmation, it wasn't simply a matter of if it would happen... It was simply a matter of when. [b][color=a0410d]Other:[/color][/b] - Jörm happens to own a black cat that he named "Fjord", after having found it all alone in the forest when it was a kitten. - Jörm's favorite delicacies are both Lutefisk and Ox head. - Jörm would always remember someone who he encountered near his cabin and would often act accordingly to how you last treated him, as demonstrated with his rivalry with Thor.

[*][b]Weapon Equip:[/b] In his bear form, Oso can equip himself with nearly any melee weapon - which includes swords, spears, axes, gauntlets, etc. [*][b]Enhanced Strength:[/b] In his bear form, Oso has enhanced strength to knock enemies around and wield heavy weapons. [*][b]Enhanced Durability:[/b] In his bear form, Oso also has enhanced durability that allows him to take a heavy pounding and survive blows that would normally kill regular mortals. [*][b]Enhanced Smell:[/b] Oso's smell is as strong as a bear, which allows him to sniff out even the faintest of smells from miles away. [*][b]Enhanced Hearing:[/b] Oso's hearing is about the same as an average bear's - being twice as acute as human hearing - allowing him to pick-up faint noises from far distances. [/list] [b][color=fff200]Description:[/color][/b] Oso looks like your average pre-teen boy. Standing at only 5'4" with blonde hair and blue eyes, he looks very unassuming in his current looks. He usually sports light clothing, mainly wearing any t-shirt he can find and long black pants. If its cold, he often wears a thick brown coat, a dark-red scarf to warm his face, and sometimes wears a dark-grey beanie on his head. His hygiene varies from being relatively clean to being rather filthy given out he's usually outdoors and doesn't take showers for several days at a time. However, Oso has the ability to transform into a towering 3 meter tall bipedal bear, one heavily resembling a polar bear. He has a very imposing stature, with cold blue eyes and strong muscles covered in a thick coat of fur. He often wears iron-based armor covering his chest, shoulders, forearms, and legs respectfully, while wielding melee based weapons like axes, spears, and swords. [b][color=fff200]Personality:[/color][/b] Oso is a generally cheerful and childish, but somewhat blunt, individual. He always likes to start a conversation with anyone around him and talk just about anything that comes to mind. He's also rather adventurous, being how he absolutely loves nature and the outdoors. He actually doesn't like being inside much and isn't interested in high-tech phones, video games, and other things most child like. He does like playing tag and hide-n-seek, amongst other traditional games with others though. However, there are times where he finds himself being rather blunt - sometimes not initially realizing his mistakes until being called out upon them. But when battles comes to his doorstep, Oso gets serious as he summons his bear form. His childish demeanor changes into that of a gruff warrior, one completely opposite of how he normally acts - almost as if he's a completely different person altogether. His language is more limited, often referring himself by his name rather than "I" or "Me", however his bluntness is the result of his ideology in action speaking louder than words. [b][color=fff200]Skills:[/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Weapon Mastery:[/b] In his bear form, Oso can wield a variety of different weapons with ease - including those he had never came across before. However, he prefers wielding melee weapons like swords and axes rather than firearms. [*][b]Nature Enthusiast:[/b] Oso is also incredibly knowledgable about the natural world, both with fauna and flora alike. He can identify most species and how they react within their environment, as well as even communicate with certain animals if need be. [*][b][/b] [/list] [b][color=fff200]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Kid Form:[/b] In his human kid form, Oso has very little standing in the way of being viciously mauled by the enemy. He has only simply the strength and durability of a regular child and cannot match up against most foes. [*][b]Brawn Before Brains:[/b] Oso often wants to solve problems through combat first, which often results in him getting knocked away by stronger opponents or blatantly assuming things that are otherwise not true. This also often makes him vulnerable to tricks. [*][b]Extremely Loud Noises:[/b] With Oso's acute sense of hearing, comes the fact that they are more sensitive than a human's. Very sudden loud noises, such as fog-horns or a loud motorcycle driving by, can result in painful experiences for him - however strangely roars of natural creatures don't seem to affect him. [/list] [b][color=fff200]Brief History:[/color][/b] Oso's childhood was... wild to say the least. Born to a logging family in the remote forests of Norway, the boy seemed normal for the first few years of his life. However, when a large jotunn killed the toddler's parents, Oso had to flee for his life as he descended deep into the forest. However, his parents' killer as not far behind and it soon caught up to him. But before it could harm the poor child, a huge bipedal bear - covered in iron armor - that was walking in the area, sensed the conflict and proceeded to fight the invading force all by himself. Yet while the massive bear won the battle in the end, he suffered grievous injuries and died shortly beside Oso. But of course this wasn't just your average bear. It was blessed as a guardian of the forest and with its sacrifice, its spirit migrated to Oso and binded with his soul. Now the boy was destined to become the next spirit of the forest and with it he could now turn into that very bear who had saved his life. He was then found by a mother bear and her two cubs and was adopted into her litter, growing with them before he came of age. There he continued to discover his powers and bond with the animals around him, becoming very knowledgable with them. He lived in the forest until he was twelve years old, where one day he discovered the Blessed traveling through his area. At first, he thought that they were threats and proceeded to do battle with them. However, upon realizing their true motives, he agreed to join them in their quests to vanquish the forst giants and prevent Ragnarok from descending upon the world. [b][color=fff200]Other:[/color][/b] - Oso is a massive foodie, often finding himself gorging on rich foods. Even though he doesn't hibernate, he still finds himself instinctually wanted to stock up for winter, yet his fast metabolism always breaks down the food at an enhanced rate. - Despite resembling a polar bear - a truly carnivorous species of bear - Oso doesn't mind eating berries and other forms of food. He also loves to consume honey. - Once upon his travels, he encountered a man with a scar living in a cabin right upon the shores of the Norwegian Sea. The scarred man was kind to Oso and provided him something to eat before sending him on his way. Unbeknownst to the bear-child, he encountered the human form of Jörmangandr himself! [/center][/hider]
