Costume Description/Image:
NPC for Loki - Fenrir [DONE] Fenrir-1

Fenrir does not wear a costume, and instead struts around only covered by fur. Because of his animal nature there is no problem with doing so, and having problems in combat. What is more, the fur that covers Fenrir's body is dark brown.

Personality:

Fenrir's personality is completely different than his master and older brother, Vali. Fenrir is another demigod, however he hates that he is at all related to the gods, despite the fact that in reality, he is not actually of the Asgardian blood. Instead, he was spawned from the giant's sperm and egg, making him completely other wordly. Fenrir knows this, and hates other forms of life that are not in some way related to his own. He hates gods, and hates what they have done to him. Fenrir also hates humans seeing as they were made in the god's image, and thinks that it is all selfishness and stupidity that governs the idiotic gods. In legend, Fenrir was tied down, and bound, however, what legend does not say is that Fenrir was not actually kept. Instead, Loki made a shadow imitation of Fenrir that was tied down instead, using half of Fenrir's mind, while the other half was sent into the world of the humans to help aid Vali - Loki's favorite son. In this way, Fenrir is completely loyal to Vali and would gladly die in order to protect him. Despite all of this, he is still a werewolf, and is still, by nature, extremely chaotic and destructive. He can be quiet, and lethal, but only when it is needed. Fenrir prefers attack others with powerful attacks, and taking orders from Vali in order to bring forth Vali's happiness and protection.

History:

In chapter 34, High describes Loki, and says that Loki had three children with a female jötunn named Angrboða located in the land of Jötunheimr; Fenrisúlfr, the serpent Jörmungandr, and the female being Hel. High continues that, once the gods found that these three children were being brought up in the land of Jötunheimr, and when the gods "traced prophecies that from these siblings great mischief and disaster would arise for them" the gods expected a lot of trouble from the three children, partially due to the nature of the mother of the children, yet worse so due to the nature of their father.
High says that Odin sent the gods to gather the children and bring them to him. Upon their arrival, Odin threw Jörmungandr into "that deep sea that lies round all lands", and then threw Hel into Niflheim, and bestowed upon her authority over nine worlds. However, the Æsir brought up the wolf "at home", and only Týr had the courage to approach Fenrir, and give Fenrir food. The gods noticed that Fenrir was growing rapidly every day, and since all prophecies foretold that Fenrir was destined to cause them harm, the gods formed a plan. The gods prepared three fetters: The first, greatly strong, was called Leyding. They brought Leyding to Fenrir and suggested that the wolf try his strength with it. Fenrir judged that it was not beyond his strength, and so let the gods do what they wanted with it. At Fenrir's first kick the bind snapped, and Fenrir loosened himself from Leyding. The gods made a second fetter, twice as strong, and named it Dromi. The gods asked Fenrir to try the new fetter, and that should he break this feat of engineering, Fenrir would achieve great fame for his strength. Fenrir considered that the fetter was very strong, yet also that his strength had grown since he broke Leyding, yet that he would have to take some risks if he were to become famous. Fenrir allowed them to place the fetter.
When the Æsir exclaimed that they were ready, Fenrir shook himself, knocked the fetter to ground, strained hard, and kicking with his feet, snapped the fetter – breaking it into pieces that flew far into the distance. High says that, as a result, to "loose from Leyding" or to "strike out of Dromi" have become sayings for when something is achieved with great effort. The Æsir started to fear that they would not be able to bind Fenrir, and so Odin sent Freyr's messenger Skírnir down into the land of Svartálfaheimr to "some dwarfs" and had them make a fetter called Gleipnir. The dwarves constructed Gleipnir from six mythical ingredients. After an exchange between Gangleri and High, High continues that the fetter was smooth and soft as a silken ribbon, yet strong and firm. The messenger brought the ribbon to the Æsir, and they thanked him heartily for completing the task.
The Æsir went out on to the lake Amsvartnir sent for Fenrir to accompany them, and continued to the island Lyngvi (Old Norse "a place overgrown with heather"). The gods showed Fenrir the silken fetter Gleipnir, told him to tear it, stated that it was much stronger than it appeared, passed it among themselves, used their hands to pull it, and yet it did not tear. However, they said that Fenrir would be able to tear it, to which Fenrir replied:

"The Binding of Fenrir" (1908) by George Wright
"It looks to me that with this ribbon as though I will gain no fame from it if I do tear apart such a slender band, but if it is made with art and trickery, then even if it does look thin, this band is not going on my legs."
The Æsir said Fenrir would quickly tear apart a thin silken strip, noting that Fenrir earlier broke great iron binds, and added that if Fenrir wasn't able to break slender Gleipnir then Fenrir is nothing for the gods to fear, and as a result would be freed. Fenrir responded:
"If you bind me so that I am unable to release myself, then you will be standing by in such a way that I should have to wait a long time before I got any help from you. I am reluctant to have this band put on me. But rather than that you question my courage, let someone put his hand in my mouth as a pledge that this is done in good faith."
With this statement, all of the Æsir look to one another, finding themselves in a dilemma. Everyone refused to place their hand in Fenrir's mouth until Týr put out his right hand and placed it into the wolf's jaws. When Fenrir kicked, Gleipnir caught tightly, and the more Fenrir struggled, the stronger the band grew. At this, everyone laughed, except Týr, who there lost his right hand. When the gods knew that Fenrir was fully bound, they took a cord called Gelgja (Old Norse "fetter") hanging from Gleipnir, inserted the cord through a large stone slab called Gjöll (Old Norse "scream"), and the gods fastened the stone slab deep into the ground. After, the gods took a great rock called Thviti (Old Norse "hitter, batterer"), and thrust it even further into the ground as an anchoring peg. Fenrir reacted violently; he opened his jaws very widely, and tried to bite the gods. The gods thrust "a certain sword" into Fenrir's mouth, the hilt of the sword on Fenrir's lower gums and the point his upper gums. Fenrir "howled horribly," saliva ran from his mouth, and this saliva formed the river Ván (Old Norse "hope"). There Fenrir will lie until Ragnarök. Gangleri comments that Loki created a "pretty terrible family" though important, and asks why the Æsir did not just kill Fenrir there since they expected great malice from him. High replies that "so greatly did the gods respect their holy places and places of sanctuary that they did not want to defile them with the wolf's blood even though the prophecies say that he will be the death of Odin."

This, this is the history that is told of Fenrir in mythology. However, this is not what actually happened to Fenrir. Instead, when Fenrir was bound by the magic silk that was unable to be broken, he was thrown away and kept where he was kept. Loki, being unable to bear seeing his child in such a state of disarray and sadness and so he cloned him using the DNA from his fur, and his actual soul. This created a Fenrir that he sent to the world of the living, slightly more human like than the actual Fenrir, and a little different. This newer adaptation was meant to guard and protect Vali from anything that might do him harm.

Powers:

Werewolf Soldier:

Fenrir is a powerful demigod from Asgard. Despite this, however, Fenrir's genes come entirely from giants. As such, Fenrir does not have magical abilities, and is instead granted the strength of the giants that were his own parents. Fenrir is entirely built to be a sort of super soldier, and was actually granted this side of his abilities when Loki performed the disposal to the real world, giving him all of the strength of his original body. Fenrir has powerful muscles made from the genes of giants that flow through his body, more powerful than most anything of mortal nature. Because of this, Fenrir is able to move at high speeds, and attack with ferociousness; running up to speeds of twenty eight miles per hour, and able to lift up to 90 tons of material when pushing. Fenrir uses these powers to protect Vali, who is otherwise weak and defenses. Fenrir also has large claws on both his feet and hands, since that is the form of the werewolf. These claws can be used to scale walls quickly, which can be done to stalk enemies or Fenrir's prey. Also, Fenrir has large, sharp teeth that are used to bite. His bite, aided by his insane strength, has the ability to crack bones easily, and break them.
