GENERAL ATTITUDE

Jörmungandr sees the lives of people as akin to characters or game pieces. Viewing your life is akin to her lying on the couch with snacks and tea while reading a book about you with calm fascination. While she seems rather lofty and talks in often archaic or cryptic language, she speaks to you as though you are a character in a novel or story. The lives of humans are an entertaining distraction in her life, and so she is not concerned with your life or death unless she deems you as a significant threat to the universe.

While she has great aptitude as a councillor for her foresight and decision-making, it often takes a lot of effort to coerce her to work, so most of the daily affairs are managed by her staff once she writes out her plans or decrees. She used to be primarily concerned with maintaining the balance of chaos and order on a universal scale. Her main overarching interest is in fate or destiny: the fate of this world, the universe, mankind, and maybe even you.

ABILITY INFORMATION

Mouth of Sealing

The reason why Jörmungandr is traditionally depicted as keeping her tail in her mouth is for two reasons: one, it is a self-soothing practice for her. The second more important reason is that it is primarily it is to keep balance of the cosmic order. Her saliva and bite prevent fluctuations in the cosmic fabric, and thus herself.

Her saliva and bite can also be used to neutralise points of singularity: that is, any object or person deemed to have significant convergence and importance in this world. She can make an item or a person “normal” or “ordinary” or reset it to “equilibrium”. These could be cursed items, magical items or a hero that must be fated to fall, lest they become too powerful to rival divinity. The more significant a person or item is, the more potent the effect of her bite — a strong rope with multiple fibres through it is less likely to break under stress than thin yarn, but when cut, it is more devastating. Most of the time, these effects on people are reversible, though not by any easy means.

Going with this analogy, Jörmungandr’s bite can only cut through a strong rope, and not thin yarn. Anyone who is not a singularity bitten by Jörmungandr feel the effects of potent presynaptic neurotoxic venom, and not her magical abilities. This causes paralysis and muscle weakness, though no death has been recorded. Her venom has been analysed to also contain hemotoxins and nephrotoxins, though effects on victims are not well documented. Jörmungandr always keeps vials of antivenom on her.

Unfortunately, the administrative power in Fino treats her as a dumping ground for any magical item they deem as being dangerous, even though these items are inconsequential, so she has a waitlist of requests. This leaves Jörmungandr often clutching a cursed grimoire or the skull of a lich in her teeth for days on end, waiting for the magic in that object to neutralise.

OOC Note: This is mainly for theming purposes only. The reality is that none of your characters will be significant enough to have their powers removed unless you beg me in DMs for story purposes. Y’all are probably gonna get hit with the normie venom instead.

Tail of the World Serpent

When Jörmungandr lifts her tail off the ground, she senses the slightest tremors and fluctuations of the universe. This is akin to an extremely high-level magic detection spell, though the longer she leaves her tail in the air, the more energy it exerts from herself. A full diagnosis and analysis of an Archmage’s opus spell would take more out of her than detecting a basic magic trap.

When she points her tail at a person or places the tail on their sternum or chest, she can sense that person’s “tapestry” — intricate patterns of your personality, birth, behaviours and upbringing that make up your person. A person’s fate is represented by a pattern that is woven in their tapestry: something that repeats itself in multiple timelines or iterations of themself. If it is significant enough, Jörmungandr can show one these visions through a controlled cloud of miasma (non-poisonous) in an abstracted way. OOC: If you made your OC multiple times in the past, or if this is not your first iteration of this character, she can show you alternate results, AUs, past cringe, etc. with permission from the author.

Jörmungandr’s tail is kept in a golden ‘tail scabbard’, something which she sometimes refers to as a ‘Spodrbaggi’ or ‘skálpr’ in ancient tongue. It’s a modified bag of holding designed to hold the rest of the tail when she is out travelling or needing to have her lamia form available in the open without taking up excess space.

Breath of Fate

Many human traditions blow on dice, candles, or coins for good luck. Jörmungandr does the same thing but on a larger scale. She can alter the “fate” of an object. She can alter a roll of the dice to land on a highly improbably number. She can create a coin that will result in prosperous returns, or financial ruin. For small objects it is inconsequential, but for larger objects and living creatures, it takes a portion of her lifespan.

Unfortunately, Jörmungandr has very little interest in gambling, stock trading and dice games, preferring humans to try and test their own luck instead. She mainly uses this ability to win raffles at carnivals to give as end-of-year gifts to her staff.

Cat

She can transform into a Norwegian Forest Cat, with a white and blotched tabby coat in both amber and brown. She has striking amber eyes. Lifting her up requires you to have superhuman strength. Putting her paws on your leg feels like immense pressure is being exerted on you, so she often just slinks around the feet of her knights quite happily or lies in the sun.

This is Jörmungandr’s primary preferred form for travel and venturing outside, since moving her tail is a seemingly endless affair. She can use her powers in cat form but cannot talk, only meow.

Lapidarist

This is Jörmungandr’s specialty in magic. She can craft gems that can hold magic spells, runes and even imbue them with her blessing to give boons to people. She primarily uses this ability for the Norns, the knights of Fino, amplifying their magical and physical ability. Having a gem blessed by Jörmungandr allows the power of an increased pool of mana, heightened physical abilities and glamour visualisation — this is a change in appearance based on the oath they swore to Jörmungandr.

The oath typically is a vow to bring about an overarching positive trait or aspect of yourself into this world, while giving up that trait of yourself. For example, if your trait was Compassion, you will endeavour to bring about more Compassion into this world, but you feel or hold no Compassion towards yourself. The more Compassion that you have brought into this world, the more your power would surpass your limits (you become anime).

As a result, Jörmungandr does not expect knights to have a long tenure and is upfront about what being a Norn entails. She will often create contracts to set expections of whoever is involved in becoming a Norn. In some cases, she may “remove a piece from her board”, taking a Norn and temporarily neutralising their powers through a bite in order to reset a Norn to equilibrium, signifying that a Norn has at least some power of the singularity. Whether or not that “piece” will be in play again depends on both the subject and Jörmungandr’s feelings on the matter.

In addition, Jörmungandr can imbue gems into weapons made from her own scales, shed shell, hair or other body parts in order to make magic weapons. These are typically given as favours or blessings to Norns for their dedication and service.

Norns can telepathically communicate with each other and with Jörmungandr so long as they remain in the city of Fino. The jewel that is granted to Norns can also take the form of jewelry when not in use, such as a ring or a pendant. Gems may have a secondary appearance in transformation.

Fleshpiercer’s Pact

Through the powers of her lapidary and venom combined, Jörmungandr can alter the abilities of others through a tattooing process that involves sewing a thread dipped in venom and pigment to create a design. There are two outcomes which she can choose: to seal and siphon off someone’s power or grant a minor boon, such as increased mana supply, enhanced strength or dexterity. Glamour visualisation remains in the realm of the Norns, and the boons granted are only a fraction of the power the Norns receive.

In order for the magic to take effect, the recipient agrees to swear an oath and to have the seal be removed under certain conditions. One example of a pact is Cainan Zalaph: he must endeavour to live as a human, and the seal will only be temporarily removed if his life or a loved one’s life is under extreme duress.

Note: OOC and IC consent must be established for the use of this power.

Lifelink to Fino

If Fino ever falls in name or reduced to rubble, Jörmungandr will cease to exist. As a result of Jörmungandr’s lifelink to Fino, she is able to sense the pulse of life throughout the city of magic. Essentially, she has a map of the city that she is innately aware of, and knows the names of registered individuals and legitimate businesses and storefronts.

Any life that deems itself artificially created or undead cannot be sensed by this ability. She cannot use this ability to scry or find hidden items. The outskirts are also incomplete in their information, as it has a higher concentration of illegitimate settlements, squatters or criminal organisations.

IS THE MIDGARD SERPENT
THE RIGHT PET FOR YOU?

Handleability 2/5 ★★☆☆☆

You can only pick her up if you have supernatural strength, in all her forms. Snake hooks have no effect; she is far too big and too long. Thankfully, she is exceedingly docile and lazy to cause any real harm.

Hardiness 4/5 ★★★★☆

Immunity to poison and corrosion. Highly resistant against magic. Unlikely to be harmed when mishandled or dropped (if ever) but will complain about it. Can develop scale rot from poor husbandry.

Care 1/5 ★☆☆☆☆

She is self-sufficient but requires a massive enclosure, with a large hide and a large pool of water to aid in shedding. She also sheds once every century, but it is a massive ordeal that leaves her in a foul mood. The next shed is due in 67 years.

Ideally, Jörmungandr only would like to feed every decade, but the sheer amount of meat required for that would cause an agricultural and economical disaster, so she’ll settle for these “occasional snacks”. The meat she requires reaches nightmarish levels, so there is often a festival organised somewhere to slay huge monsters and carve them for their meat to feed her appetite.

Upfront Costs 3/5 ★★★☆☆

Fino’s tax money is being poured into festivals of numerous food festivals, cookouts, and monster-slaying events to feed her (and the citizens of Fino, to a lesser degree).

You may try to get her to use her Breath of Fate for better luck in your financial life, but it’s often sunk cost to try and do it if you don’t have any financial knowledge yourself.

Availability 0/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

She does not desire to be owned. She is also exceedingly lazy, so she’s often unavailable, usually during the end of the financial year for some inexplicable reason.

TOTAL SCORE: 2.5/5 ★★☆☆☆

Jörmungandr may be right for you if you desire your city to be ruled by an exceedingly large mythical reptilian who desires vast amounts of meat every year, a massive temple with a huge pool and an underground basement. She at least has incredible insight into the lives of people and great acumen for long-term decisions and planning.

BACKSTORY

Jörmungandr was summoned by a mage before Fino was known as a magical city. At that time, it was just a burgeoning village near a river. Her summoner took advantage of her shedding cycle to catch her unaware, pulling a scale of the original World Serpent into a breach. As a result of being an incomplete replica and a fragment, Jörmungandr arrived without her status as a divine being, appearing akin to a lamia more than a serpent. Despite these turn of events, they stayed together as there was no way to return to her original world. He dreamed of an era where Fino could be the epicentre of magical activity on their continent, and shared in that dream with Jörmungandr.

Unfortunately, war broke out. After his service, he became immobilized from his spine down. He couldn’t fulfill his dream of his home becoming the magical city, and so Jörmungandr suggested write he down his wishes and to pass it down to his next of kin and future generations. She gave comfort to him for the rest of his life and spent many peaceful days together.

On his deathbed, Jörmungandr revealed that she changed his fate ever-so-slightly. He was fated to die in that war. By imbuing a brooch he wore made by Jörmungandr, he was able to avert certain death and return home. To prevent her own death, he bound Jörmungandr to his beloved birthplace, Fino: “may she live and watch over this city.” She accepted and vowed to protect Fino and watch over his future kin.

When her master finally died, Jörmungandr was laid to sleep and put into magical brumation by his (rather jealous) wife. He left instructions for his next of kin to wake her up during a more peaceful era, but the documents became lost over time. His wife intended Jörmungandr to remain asleep forever.

Later on, those who found the master’s writings deemed them as the ramblings of a delusional mage whose lifelong companion could not possibly be a monster girl that lived in a giant temple. That was just utterly nonsense.

Eventually, the cooling magic in her temple wore off and the temperatures in her enclosure warmed again. Jörmungandr awoke to an era of peace — in the magical city, Fino.

She was regarded as a good portent, an icon, even an emblem of their land. When awaking, she helped avert a minor economic crisis by her powers and neutralised a rather bothersome cursed magical item. After explaining her powers and her history with her master, people soon realized that if she had not saved the mage she was bound with, the city of Fino would have not been what it is today.

The people recognised that the crest and herald of Fino features an ouroboros — a symbol that represented her. When she was elected as councillor, she gladly accepted.
