Nidhogg isn't a deity, so much as a being on a level that is equal to or greater then that of other deities. It my be better to say that he's a force of nature, as his myths harkened him as the bringer of Ragnorok, a harbinger of the apocalypse. His domains would be akin to Chaos, Damnation, The destruction of Yggdrasil(Aka: Universal Entropy), death, and curses. Nidhogg is as worshipped as Hell, Tartarus, and any other place/being of damnation since he was the being who tormented and devoured the souls of sinners in Norse Mythology. As for why he was sealed in the body if a dead dragon, that was simply his true form weakened to an extreme point where one would assume it dead. What truly sealed him there were the roots that bound the corpse, but by the time Jackson had gotten there, the bindings had grown weak(a mix of Nidhogg's tampering and old age). As for earning the ire of other deities, Nidhogg does as he eases and despises all other beings of divinity be aide it was then who kept him locked up in the first place. That being said, he doesn't seek out conflict with them, and simply does as he always has done:prey on sinners. He's just broadened his term of sinner to include every sin one has committed. That being said, this drive is another reason children aren't targeted, as they are normally free of sin, though not harming then at all is purely Jackson's doing. Nidhogg has, from a divine perspective, done nothing wrong, it's just that the beast has been let out of it's cage to prowl the world at large instead of being trapped in the roots of a tree.


Mind if I point out that all Norse Deities are killable?
@Joshua Tamashii@Joshua TamashiiNidhogg isn't a mortal soul, but an Immortal spirit. He could do the same as Phelegthon and take a true form, but it would take too long while he could spend his time enjoying his freedom, which is much more important to him.


So he's a deity. Pray tell, what does he have domain over? Though I suppose the obvious answer domain over the dead. Was he worshipped at one point? Why was he sealed in the body of a dead dragon? Why was he sealed to begin with? If he values his freedom so much, does he view it as worth his time to bring form the ire of other deities, other beings with power as great as, or greater, then his own?
@Joshua TamashiiWell, considering my impending trip, the reaper will have to wait another day before he makes an attempt, because I'm going to probably end this once everyone else cycles through so that I don't have to worry about this at least before I go on my trip. Also, while Phelegthom is probably stronger then this host of Nidhogg at the moment, this is a host that has only really tapped into a fraction of the spirit's power and only a certain aspect of that spirit(that being said, Nidhogg's fill power couldn't really be held by a mortal vessel, nor even a quarter of it. tge body would collapse on itself and die in a horrendously painful way)The actual spirit himself, on the other hand, could very well distort the fabric of reality itself to suit his whims. Like I said before,Nidhogg can't really be killed, he'll just jump from victim to victim for as long as he still finds it amusing to do so.


A soul is powerless once it has lost it's vessel.

Ferrin:"Well, then. A little help would be very nice, oh great and powerful grim peeper." (sarcasm intensifies)


Hey, most of the time he does simply watch as others fall in battle. That is his job. Ferrin wanted to fight Nid, so Phleg gave him a chance. Ferrin failed and now Amelia has been threatened. He's stepping in.
@Crimson RavenHmm. . . Destructive. That's going to cost him though, next time I post anyway.

@Joshua TamashiiI generally tend to assume that until convinced otherwise.


You challenged what is essentially a grim reaper to battle. Necrotic magic does not work on him and even dragons have to answer to death at some point.

Note he also is not bound to Amelia right now. He is completely sustaining himself, so if she runs out of magical energy, he is still there. And he is easily more powerful then Nidhogg. And if you teleport away, he'll just follow until Nidhogg is dead.
@ZarkunActually, yes: Nidhogg was formed in part based onJackson own desires(he wanted to become a more assertive and discerning individual) and does have some innate humanity because of it, but it'll take some time for him to develop that side of him, in which case he'll kind of fuse with Jackson to become this composite of the two. I've got a few end goals for him in mind.


You're assuming he lives past this point.
Amelia Averyonna and Phlegethon

"Then I will go. And I'll be right back and give you a report when I do so." Amelia said before gently getting out of Sam's grip. "We'll continue talking when I get back, okay Sammy?"

Getting out of her seat, black sprites came out of the same colored gems on her wings and sunk into the shadows which moved and swallowed her up, taking her to the scene of the battle. Upon arrive, she looked around, seeing two different battles going on and Phlegethon watching it all, having taken the spears of water with little to no damage. Sighing, she walked over to her spirit.
"I thought you were going to fight." She said.

"I will when I am needed. My primary target is the thing over there." Phlegethon said, pointing to Nidohgg.

"That's a man." Amelia said.

"No, it is not. It is something else. But for now, my opponent, should I chose to engage her, is that girl over there." Phlegethon said, pointing to Manami. "She is in the middle of a crisis of faith, more or less. A case of denial possibly. But, should she continue down the path she is on, damnation is all that awaits her."

Amelia looked at the girl before sighing.
"Undine, I require you're help." She said. The black sprites returned to her wings while blue ones left, gathering and forming the water spirit, which raised it's hands and controlled Manami's water so that instead of going towards James, it instead was sent skywards. Walking forward, she got between the two, before looking at James. "I'll fight her sir. If you will let me."

Turning to Manami, she saw the pain in the girl's face, or was is desperation. She felt pity for her, but right now, her concern was to take her down, regardless of how she felt.
"Why are you doing this? Why are you attacking my guild mates?"

Let me C&P what I just posted to a different doc and edit it out and yeah. Sorry, though Phleg would be getting a kick out of things.


He's really wouldn't. This is a battle, the kind of thing he often reaps souls from.
@Zarkun mind if I sneak a post in?

From the looks of it they're getting released in Booster SP: Destiny Soldiers and 20th Rival Collection.


Wait... what? I really don't keep track of the game IRL.
