==Personal Details==
It was a cruel fate that Lodurr should fade from memory. His part in the very creation of mankind was eventually attributed to other gods, and the brief mentions of him in ancient prose are widely misrepresented as actually being Loki or Frey.

He is remembered as little more than a footnote.

Some say he gifted Ash and Elm with blood and good looks... others with warmth. They're all wrong. The gift was really fire... life itself and the passion to live it.

Perhaps Loduur himself was consumed by that lust. He spent more and more time with the humans... eventually fading from the ancient epics altogether.

Old Lody... or Lody the Mad as some call him... has lived through millennia, though his mind has eroded and crumbled under the strain. Some days he doesn't even remember who he is, and can be found reveling in one vice after another. Other days he mourns everything he lost, and drowns his sorrows in a river of ale.

Sometimes... when he can be reminded of who he really is, that spark of adventure can be reignited. A glimpse of who he used to be will surface as he charges forward toward one heroic deed or another... for only through great achievement can he be restored to his rightful place among the other Aesir.

==Aspect Details==
'''High Concept''' "Delusional Drunken Demigod"<br>
Whether or not he is what he claims, there is no doubt that Lody possesses abilities far beyond that of a mortal and an ego worthy of a god. The weight of millennia has eroded Lodurr's mind and he has trouble remembering details or telling fact from fiction. Or... that could all simply be the effect of centuries of booze and other vices finally taking their toll.<br>
'''Invoke''' when doing implausible heroics like the ballads of old, when drinking or resisting the urge to drink.<br>
'''Compel''' to have him be drunk at the wrong time, to have enemies of the Aesir come after him... to to have his memories or perceptions lead him down the wrong path or cloud his judgement.<br>

'''Trouble''' "Soft-Hearted Fool"<br>
While wisdom, wit or strength were the hallmarks of other Aesir, Lodurr's was always his heart. He gave of his very essence to help create mankind, offered up his own shield to protect the world from the sun's heat, and so many more sacrifices that have been lost to the ages. Though he buries it behind a gruff demeanor or a drunken stupor, those that find away to reach his unarmored heart will find the fulcrum of his very being. <br>
'''Invoke''' when risking his life for others, when empathizing with someone. <br>
'''Compel'''compel to have him get involved in stuff he shouldn't be involved in, to help out his friends when there in need, to Stay his hand in battle if his foe is capable of redemption... or convince him of it at least.<br>

'''Aspect''' "...and Chaos Ensues" <br>


'''Invoke''' <br>
'''Compel'''<br>

'''Aspect'''"Glory Lasts Forever"<br> 
The Aesir are not known for their subtlety, preferring to tackle obstacles head on in an epic battle or battle of wits... stuff the poets would sing about for ages.  When the do resort to subterfuge and trickery, rarely does the deed go unsung. If the Lody doesn't reveal his plot to his enemies to rub salt in the wound they will likely hear about it from his drunken boasting.
'''Invoke''' when being obvious, making a spectacle of himself or doing something over the top when a much simpler plan would do.<br>
'''Compel''' to have his attempts at subtlety fail, to have his bragging rub people the wrong way, or to have his con reach the wrong ears and warrant revenge. <br>


'''Aspect'''"Barrel Chest and Beer Belly"<br>

'''Invoke''' <br>
'''Compel'''<br>
