Dragi wears a mix of athletic and military winter wear and furs with a tight watch cap over his head. He usually wears mirror sunglasses outside to make him look cool, and has a perpetual squint from driving through snow glare. His legs end mid-thing and are replaced by functional, worn-looking prosthetics with small clawed feet on the end. They are insulated ceramic and titanium, painful to wear but allow him to stand outside without getting particularly cold since his body is 4 feet off the ground.  
+
In public, Miekke wears a long, gorgeous white fur coat with the hood pulled up tight around their head, an ornate sword strapped to their back. <br>
 +
On stage, they sport a slight top and shorts that show off smooth, moon-white skin interlaced with intricate gold-ink tattoos that climb up the back of their bald skull.<br>

''Here's the story Dragi doesn't tell anyone. Dragi was raised up in a now defunct cult that worshipped Tyr, one handed god of war and justice. Someplace up before you get to Splitsville, but off the main trade route. His legs -- he says something about an accident but truth is, they were willingly sacrificed in emulation of the god, and replaced as a sign of his high status as a Tyrsman. It's hard to explain to outsiders. He was the chauffeur to the Gothi of the cult driving the limo, but when this worthy died after one amputation too many, Dragi was expected to immolate himself and the limo as a funereal rite. Instead, he broke out of the compound, going straight through the gate behind the wheel of Jotun with the limo and the priest's corpse in a trailer behind it. Dragi knows his soul is forfeit, but he couldn't bear to see that car get torched. The Tyr cult has fallen into infighting, but he keeps the Jotun, and the high priest's artificial limbs (the body is a mere shell, but the replacements are shining and incorruptible) as leverage.''

when you perform your chosen art - any act of expression or culture - or when you put its product before an audience, roll+hot.<br>
 +
On a 10+, spend 3. On a 7-9, spend 1. Spend 1 to name an NPC member of your audience and choose one:
 +
*This person must meet me.
 +
*This person must have my services.
 +
*This person loves me.
 +
*This person must give me a gift.
 +
*This person admires my patron.
 +
On a miss, you gain no benefit, but suffer no harm or lost opportunity. You simply perform very well.

''So how'd he get to where he is now?  He broke away from the funeral procession in the limo that was to be both your pyres, and fled with the cult in hot pursuit. Dragi is running from the cult, on the road for several days at high speed, pursuit hot on his tail. He's exhausted. Ylva is on her way from Gösta to Forge with Sjöfn, riding in Dogs Head's snowplows. Bad weather, not quite a blizzard but not something you want to be caught outside in. They nearly hit the limo, which is half buried in a snowdrift with Dragi asleep or unconscious at the wheel. The bulk of the snowplow hides whatever's still visible of the limo, and the cult pass without stopping. When Dragi wakes, for whatever reasons, they help him drag the limo back onto the road, and set him on his way.''

'''Hypnotic'''<br>

So, technically Ylva and Dog's Head know some of his story, and he told Miekke everything, but he's not even sure if Miekke was listening.
+
when you have time and solitude with someone, they become fixated upon you. Roll+hot. <br>
 +
On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7–9, hold 2. They can spend your hold, 1 for 1, by:
 +
*Giving you something you want.
 +
*Acting as your eyes and ears.
 +
*Fighting to protect you.
 +
*Doing something you tell them to.
 +
For NPCs, while you have hold over them they can’t act against you. For PCs, instead, any time you like you can spend your hold, 1 for 1:
 +
*They distract themselves with the thought of you. They’re acting under fire.
 +
*They inspire themselves with the thought of you. They take +1 right now.
 +
On a miss, they hold 2 over you, on the exact same terms.

If you and another character have sex, choose one:
 +
*You take +1 forward and so do they.
 +
*You take +1 forward; they take -1.
 +
*They must give you a gift worth at least 1-barter.
 +
*You can hypnotize them as though you’d rolled a 10+, even if you haven’t chosen to get the move.

Hross the limo, a gorgeous relic of the legendary past. Dragi sacrificied his soul to keep this car intact, so he's not going to let you fucking eat in it, OK? Just don't even ask.

Jotun the assault vehicle. He keeps in a locked-down and inconspicuous garage in Loggertown.  He knows Surtr would love to haul it home and reverse-engineer it, or drive around in it like an ass.

The Jotun is a Finnish combat engineering minefield breaching vehicle, decorated with runes and devotions to Tyr the war god.
 
−
The Jotun stats should be +1 speed +1 armor, -loud -sloppy. The look is garish and muscular, both sophisticated and barbaric.  People tend to either freak out when they see it or get fascinated.

'''Hx:'''

Hx:
−
*''Which one of you got me out of some serious shit?'' Ylva helped me hide and survive when I was on the run from the cult of Tyr.  
+
*''Which one of you is my friend?'' Ylva is.
−
*''Which one of you has been with me for days on the road?'' Miekke had a gig, going to different towns. I told her about giving up my legs, showed her the wonders of Freya's heart, the dead city under the icen glittering like the aurora.  I think I offended her somehow...
+
*''Which one of you is my lover?'' Skuld is very much like a cat that shows up now and then like nothing happened; show up, be really passionate for a little while and then go off on some new gig or something before returning a week or more later with a gift. Loyal if really needed but very rarely overtly romantic.  
−
*''Which one of you have I caught watching the horizon?'' Skuld. That's why we make a good team, we think alike. I think.
+
*''Which one of you is in love with me?'' Dragi, but I don't acknowledge it.
−
 
+
*''Which one of you hurt me in a way I won't forget?'' Loki kicked me off a snowmobile at some point, out somewhere where my survival wasn't assured, abandoned to the elements.
−
Non-Hx relationship: Dragi has an agreement with Loki; the Wolves don't hunt him in exchange for him giving them a cut of the business. That way they concentrate on others and keep his reputation as the guy who can get it done. Not sure if the Wolves are all in agreement with this though.

===Character Questions===
 +
*'''What's your art?'''
 +
**''Miekke is a hope-spinner. Through snakelike dance, sworddance, and sword-swallowing, Miekke's gold-imprinted moon-white skin impresses on their audience that the otherworldly is among us, and one's deepest longings can find expression. That theme is carried over into the post-performance sessions they offer to those most in need of private counseling.*''
 +
*'''Do you perform at Sjöfn's place? If not, where?'''
 +
**''To Ylva's undying frustration, yes.''
 +
*'''What's Zeds to you? Friend? Lover? Family? Something stranger?'''
 +
**''Zeds is a simple man, who never really expected to have anything of value to call his own. Content to build up something belonging to another. Until he saw Miekke. There's an all-consuming fire in his chest that tells him they are his jewel. His moon. They belong to him. They won't acknowledge it, though. For that, he's going to feed on Miekke's flesh. Miekke can see it in his eyes.''
