Prominences of the Nine Worlds

the Zaraq (better known by their romanized name, Saraq)

A race of human-like creatures, descended from the long-extinct A'arab Zaraq, better known as the Lucid Dreamers.

These beings are widely known throughout Scandanavia for their ability to infiltrate one's dreams and manipulate them. A docile race, there is no record of this power ever being used for anything besides assisting Worldwalkers on their journeys throughout the Runic lands. They are slightly above average height, and can be identified quite easily by the markings on their bodies. They are all unique when referring to individuals, but in essence are all some form of the same idigenous tatoos their ancestors once inked.

The Zaraq, in recent years, have taken heat for laying claim to the giant Pyramid found in international waters off the Maldives, which is currently classified as being an internationally significant artifact by the US Geological Survey, which discovered it in 2061.
They are currently seeking representation on the Survey, which has been given international sway over the artifact, but their motives run far deeper than that rock...

Thor

Known all over the Runic lands, Thor is perhaps the most famous of all creatures of the Other Universe. He is graciously welcomed to all his meals, readily defended to the death by even the those who haven't the slightest connection to him and exalted by even the gods who outrank him as a legend that will never die, a true immortal.

Thor was once the leader of the tribes of Muspelheim, until Adulruna Redivivia showed up. She used the Qliphoth to slaughter every single creature in Muspelheim except fot the young Thor, who fought and killed one of the dragons. He faced off against Adulruna, but she easily defeated him. Soon after this, he began training endlessly, sleeping only 45 minutes a night and learning to properly wield his father's warhammer.

100 years, later, he faced and defeated Adulruna Redivivia, at the cost of the Lemurian civilization, whose help he was forced to exploit in order to lure her into her realm or birth. In the Runic Lands, one is weakest when they are closest to their place of birth. After this, despite his victory, both Thor and Adulruna were expunged from the Runic Record, and exiled to Midgard. Thor was freed 500 years due to the nature of his fight, but during his ceremony, Adulruna escaped as well.

Thor went after her, but was blindsided by Lepaca Qliphoth. The two engaged in a fierce duel, and Thor damaged him so badly he lost 11 of his 20 heads. However, Lepaca Qliphoth was indeed the stronger warrior, and he dragged the fight on for two more weeks before killing Thor with a blast of lightning. The cost of this victory was his freedom: Qliphoth's body was destroyed by the gods and his spirit locked in Muspelheim, where Adulruna resurrected it.

After his death, Thor was given the status of a god, because he fought to protect all the realms, even though he failed, his death clearing the way for Adulruna to sieze control of all the Runic lands except the Circle of the Tyrants, whose ruler Therion easily beat her back. During her rule, Thor took the necessary steps to becom the ruler of the heaven of warriors, Valhalla, so he could have sway over her rule.

after 2,000 years, he was finally made the ruler of Valhalla, and he organized an attack counterinsurgency against Adulruna. Using their powerful magic, the Lemurian spirits were able to kill most of the Qliphoth and lock Adulruna away. They also took most of her power, and due to this she is currently not strong enough to leave Muspelheim unaided.


This is Thor, known to his closer compatriots as The Powerhead.

Sirius A

An uncontrollable temper, an otherworldy sense of humor, and a split personality. Yep, if all else fails, then this is Sirus A in one sentence. Originally, she was a shut in who was almost as idiosyncratically contemplative as her brother, who was the man she idolized. Some time ago, she began to become quite rebellious, and a bit more of a colorful personality than what the stoic Sirius Bwould tolerate. As punishment for this, she was expelled from Acta Sanctorum and sent to Midgard.

As nimble as she is however, Midgard's sheer size proved to be little more than a hindrance to her. Acrobatically escaping all the gigantic defenses meant to conceal mostly Jotun, she jumped all over the Jormungandr before he could mount a successful attack. Boy, were the powerful Guardians of Middgeared embarrassed!

She is a small, but compact and powerful woman. Being, well, technically schizophrenic, she always looks at life with a healthy dose of skepticism. If you say anythng, she'll likely not believe you unless you actually prove it to her with her own two eyes.

If she lived here in Midgard, she would undoubtedly be the greatest swordsman humanity has ever seen. She can use her katana, whose metal was struck with the lightning of Thor. It was forged with the scales of a Qliphoth and infused with a bit of Therion's power leftover from the War of Eons. In effect, it's no wonder it can slice through tanks, and can part the sea with a single slice. It can also level mountains, with enough force put behind it. The sword is useless against Qliphoth.

When she's not trying to obliterate something with her formidable blade, she takes in a decent living as a paid assassin of fugitives who have escaped Other Universe prisons and hidden out in our part of Midgard. She is quiet, and stealthy, and can often take out more than one quarry in a single session. However, when her timid, melancholic personality takes over, she is willing to do none of these things. She is willing to only sit in her apartment and read and write.


This is Sirius A.
