Background/History:

Christian Fasal Hansen manifested his paranormal Talents in April of 1940 when the German army attacked his home city of Eivann, Norway. For three weeks he fought the German invasion forces before fleeing to England.

 

Once in England, Christian, calling himself Aesgir, was made a member of the British Free Norwegian forces, and attended the training course of British Special Executives (i.e. Commandos). Upon graduation, he returned to active duty, leading Commando units into Axis-held territory by bringing them through an icy land he called Valhalla.

 

Aesgir was killed in 1944, outside of Cean, assaulting what turned out to be the Twelfth SS Panzer Division.

 

Personality/Motivation:

Aesgir stated his spear gave him his special powers, and even went so far as to claim the weapon spoke to him and warned him of potential dangers. His death came from his refusal to abandon the men under his command.

 

Powers/Tactics:

Aesgir's spear is nothing more than a cheap theater prop, but in Christian's hand it can penetrate armor plate with ease. It can be hurled as well, and is known to change course in mid-flight in order to hit its intended target. While holding the spear, Aesgir is effectively invulnerable, and was once witnessed deflecting an 88 mm shell from his open hand.

 

Aesgir could also use his spear to open a portal to a place he called "Valhalla." By traveling through Valhalla, Aesgir could cover an equal distance in the real world, although such travel was taxing and dangerous. Aesgir could take people with him as well, and once brought 80 Commandos through in a single trip.

 

If separated from his spear, Aesgir could recall it instantly, as long as he could see the weapon.

 

Appearance:

As of 1940 Aesgir was a Norwegian youth of 17. He stood 5'9" and weighed all of 133 pounds.

 

Designer's Notes:

Aesgir is one of the Talents from the W.W.II RPG Godlike. His stats and powers were adapted from his character sheet and reflect the idea that in Godlike one is a very normal human physically with some very unnormal super powers. To make him more "super human" pump up his DEX, CON, defenses, and SPD (you have 35 points to spend to bring him up to 350).

 

To really pump up Aesgir power level, you could give him some of the powers hinted at in his descriptive text, but not actually expressed in his Godlike character sheet. For example, his ability to deflect an 88 mm shell could be defined as Missile Deflection. He could have Danger Sense defined the spear warning him of things he can't see. The spear was also supposed to offer, advice to Aesgir as well, at which point you could even define the spear as an AI computer, with various appropriate KS.

 

Finally, Aesgir was supposed to be able to instantly recall his spear. This can be done in several way. The power shown here was an attempt to simulate Godlike's Fetch power, although that was more like Teleport Usable As Attack (and this can get very expensive!). In this case, remove the spear's focus limitation, and apply a -1/4 limitation to his powers of "Not Usable If Out Of Sight."
