Oede

Oede is a mysterious being from a far away galaxy, with a nexus, very like this nexus.  She has a large, fractious family, similar to the Imperial family.  It's very possible that the mythology of the Norse pantheon on Earth is an echo of the influence of her family from far, far away. Oede left the court of her family when her twin sister, Nöje sent her an urgent message, pleading for help. It has something to do with the Emperor, but she doesn't - possibly cannot - speak of what happened. Whatever happened, Nöje is nowhere around and Oede hasn't return to her ancestral home.

She's quite the character, putting on a show wherever she goes, and more than a little vain, capricious, demanding... she has an artistic temperament. But, she also wants to make the world a beautiful place in both a literal and metaphorical sense.  When she's sulking or brooding, it's often because she can't bring others to see her vision.. or because she wants attention.  There's that, too, sometimes.  But, she's beautiful, magnetic and shines like the sun, so it's not usually hard to get the attention she wants.


What I do not want:  I don't like players to be aggressive with my character without discussing it with me and I don't particularly want my character to be your character's enemy.  I think that kind of play takes a lot of trust and before even trying it, I think we should get to know one another and then have a serious discussion about it.





Traits

  1. of Love: She's beautiful and enchanting and attracts many ardent admirers.

  2. of Battle: A mistress of battle, she not only weilds her own double-headed battleaxe with ferocity, she inspires those who fight at her side.

  3. of Beauty: Oede is an artist of incredible renown.  She creates beauty around her wherever she goes.

  4. Brísingamen: She wears a golden necklace, set with a beautiful golden polished stone.  Brísingamen's qualities are all around sight and seeing.  It allows her to see things in both the literal and metaphorical sense and to make other people see things.

  5. of Seiðr: Oede's presence subtly manipulates the threads of fate to influence events to turn things her way, or for the people she cares about (or turns their luck against them for people she really doesn't like).  Like when sneaking past, a guard might look the other direction at the right time or she might happen to have access to just the right piece of equipment at the right time, makes the right turn to get where she's going.  She's always right where she's meant to be at the right time.  Think of it like Constantine’s synchronicity wave.

  6. of Gold: Oede has a vast wealth of resources at her disposal.  She has a planet, for crying out loud.

  7. Queen of the Valkyrie: What it says on the tin.
