------Origins------

With the creation of Yggdrasil, the Norse universe, the gods created the Valkier dragons to command the elements in the nine realms. Each realm is filled with fantastical beings, forests, magic, mystery, and legends. Behind the scenes, the Valkiers maintain the balance in the realms by controlling and regulating all phenomena. This is their purpose in life, and their minds are set on fulfilling their duties.

[Mortality:]
To sufficiently manage the elements for the centuries to come, Valkiers will not die of old age or sickness, and their wounds heal rapidly. However, they may still be slain by those powerful enough to take one down. There is only one Valkier per element, and when one dies, it is replaced by a new Valkier. They are incapable of reproduction, though somebody with enough magic could possibly merge Valkier genes with another creature, or even duplicate one. Doing so could anger the gods who created them.

------Abilities------

To fulfill their tasks, Valkiers are vastly equipped with powers. Each variant has a specific element to control. Elements can be anything connected to phenomena or geographical things: fire, magma, sands, lightning, blizzards, oceans, mountains, trees, and many more.
Among these are the six Great Valkiers with abilities transcendent to the earthen elements. They are the Life, Death, Light, Darkness, Sun, and Moon Valkiers. These beasts, while never seen together, work together in unity to keep the gears of time running.

[Element Regulation:]
The Valkiers are responsible for summoning storms, circulating seas, raising forests, freezing tundras, aligning mountains, and everything else. Typically, a Valkier cannot tend to all nine realms at once. As a solution, they magically lock their elements in patterns which run even in their absence. For example, a Forest variant will visit each spring to cause the seeds to sprout, which will then grow through the year under the guidance of the Valkier’s magic.

In the case of extreme or supernatural phenomena, such as hurricanes and mysterious fogs, the Valkiers are present to command the elements precisely to their will.

[Physical traits:]
As far as physique goes, Valkiers are clearly fit for combat. They are coated in thick, heavily-layered plating, equipped with muscular arms designed for smashing things, and their command over the elements terrifies any foe. They can breathe out their element as well as ignite their arms and tails with it.
Valkiers also have controllable “invisibility.” To work without being interrupted, they can hide their visibility from beings in the realms. It will not work with the deities, gods, and other Valkiers.

------Valkier Connections------

Though the nine realms are vast, Valkiers often come in contact, and encounters may result in great occasions or terrible catastrophes. As a general rule, similar or complimentary elements will work together, while contrasting elements will clash – or intentionally wreak havoc.

[Valkier Teamwork:]
When two Valkiers’ elements work together, they can accomplish something greater through symbiosis. To name a few: Forest and Sea variants will nourish plants to produce faster growth and harvest; Wind and Snow will hurry up the change of season; Life and Death will work together to cast out the old and bring up the new.
[Valkier Conflict:]
More often than not, Valkier encounters result in natural disasters and other harmful events which keep the realms disciplined. Fire and Forest will spark a forest fire; Storm and Sea, in their fighting, might summon a hurricane; Decay and Sand may create a famine; Mountain and Sea will shatter the ground and produce an earthquake. The actual display of a Valkier battle is spectacular, though few would want to be present when it happens.

------Generalities------

This section is mainly for those who have received Valkiers of their own and wish to use them in roleplaying. While you are free to do so, I might suggest only hosting them with other Valkier owners, as they are clearly overpowered and admittedly aren’t the easiest to roleplay with.

[Realm jumping:]
In order to instantly leap from one realm to another, a Valkier lets its element rapidly consume its body, leaving nothing but dust in its place. Its soul then leaps into the desired realm, and its element flares and reconstructs the Valkier’s body. The process does not hurt, although it does not patch wounds or scars.

[Personality:]
As god-like machines built to tame the elements, Valkier personalities may feel a little bit restrictive. I want to be able to open up flexibility as much as possible, but clearly you won’t have them falling in love when they aren’t designed for reproduction. If anything, Valkiers come off as fierce, unforgiving, and dominant. They likely wouldn’t wrestle with insecurities or weakness, as their minds are likely set on a do-my-job-even-if-it-kills-others morality. However, this does not mean they can’t be funny, flamboyant, understanding, or even flirtatious. If you are unsure about something, you can run it by me.
