Personality:
Wodan is the embodiment of “Survival of the Fittest” and embodies it rather well. It has no tolerance for the weak, more likely to execute those it considers unworthy of life essence. However, it also means it does not like to be challenged, as it is a being that considers itself the strongest of all beasts. This ruling does not apply to Humans however, as Wodan does not respect such creatures and considers them nothing but fodder and scum. The exceptions are the no longer human beings that hunt their former race, such as Vampires or Werewolves. This rationale is that they have gained the feeling of being a predator, and thus deserve some of its respect. One must prove its worth in battle to Wodan before commanding any sort of respect.

The spirit of the Hunt is also quick to make judgments and quick to act, and is also easily amused when a fight is about to commence, to which point it will actually endeavor to see it happen. It is erratic in its tastes and enjoys changes in its original plans if it still ends up being enjoyable. In addition to being brash, Wodan is also stubborn and will never change its mind once it makes it unless a significant revelation appears to him.

When it comes to animals that are actual Prey (not humans), Wodan has a sense of respect in the fact that his children are sustained by these creatures, and will never give them the indignity of being played with once they've been caught. It respectfully kills all that it hunts in the natural order and will make its promise to use their life essence well.

History:
When the Universe was created, there was a collection of concepts that was created with it. Death, Time, Destruction, and many more were created along with those that were affected by in design. The youngest of these is Predator, a fundamental much younger than its brothers, as predatory beings had not come until much later in existence. For eons, Predator watched as the beasts would hunt and fight for dominance, acting through them and within them in ways beyond the control of a simple ruler, but as an instinct, an emotion. It watched as beast hunted beast, as the strong preyed on the weak, and it supported those who became the top of their environment. By design predatory instinct was perfect, it kept things organized and without exponential growth, and it protected the environment in which prey resided; that was when Humanity arrived.

Like wildfire, Creation’s Humans immediately made their presence known. They hunted down animals without signs of stopping, snuffing out beasts into non-existence, starving out their predators and letting others run rampant in growth, in turn causing the destruction of more beasts. Hunger for Power, Resource, Dominance caused humans to ruin the system of billions of years in the making in such short amount of time. But as all Fundamentals, Predator was forced to merely watch as its children began to fade away; that is until Humans began to revere Predator as a god. Under the name Wodan, Predator began to hunt down the creations of magic, spirit and body, an event that would widely be known as The Wild Hunt.

But as time passed, Humanity’s fickle worship eventually faded, and Wodan could only watch once again. Soon Humanity’s greed was too much for the ancient fundamental to handle. Through the sheer force of “will” Wodan manifested itself into reality once again, this time tethering itself to a crystal in order to safely use its power, so long as it could eat the life essences of humans. From that point, Wodan set out on its mission; destroy Humanity.

Powers and Abilities
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Powers:
The Umbra (8 AB Replacement Item): Rather than tap into the forces of the current Universe, Wodan calls upon the power of The Umbra, the First Darkness, through the ring encompassing its crystal. With the Umbra by its side, Wodan takes the form of its most formidable servants. The darkness can take the form of wolves, crows, sharks and any other form of predatory creature. This darkness protects Wodan’s true form and makes sure that it does not dissipate. These forms simulate the animals in question and appear as black versions of themselves. The Umbra is also incapable of separating itself from Wodan more than a few meters as it is meant to surround the being as a sort of aura. Anything that separates itself to far becomes a projectile, continuing in the one direction they were going without any notion of changing its course.

The Wild Hunt (5 AB): Wodan is never truly alone, for when it needs it, he can call upon The Wild Hunt. The Wild Hunt is a part of Wodan itself, pieces of his essence that molded into an event that shook the foundations of the Earth. When Wodan calls upon the Wild Hunt, its form spawns 25 weaker versions of itself, all intelligent enough to make their own choices and following its orders as members of its pack. Each of these clones is capable of using weaker versions of their leader’s power, in addition with the ability to act as extra eyes.

The Call of the Hunt (+2 AB Boost Item): Located just above Wodan's jewel on the same ring, Wodan increases its potential to multiply itself, giving it access to 10 more clones (5 per 1 point). This boost only lasts for a few minutes (4 posts), and is usually only used by Wodan when it needs to kill a particularly violent or crafty prey.

A Hunter’s Instinct (1 AB): Wodan is capable of searching the area in sort of radar like sense that allows it to locate all of its identified prey. He pretends to smell or hear or see in order to simulate the fact that it acknowledges his prey’s existence.

Fight or Flight: (RP Mechanic) Being the ultimate predator, there is nothing that Wodan fears and nothing that it cannot hunt. But due to it being Primal Instinct manifest, it emits its incredible killing intent and desire to devour prey quite easily, no matter what form it takes. When it freely extends its killing intent, it inspires the "Fight or Flight" mindset, a test to whether or not the quarry thinks it is a predator or prey. When it feels the need, Wodan can literally spread its killing intent like an aura to let prey know that it is coming, not where it is, but that it is on the approach.

Experience/Abilities:
Hunter: As the embodiment of the Hunt, Wodan is a very adept hunter, knowing the many strategies that animals use to hunt their prey. It adapts based on the environment quite well, and can make use of sudden situations in surprising speeds.

Leader: As the ultimate hunter, Wodan is capable of leading its pack in any form they take, perfecting the battle plans of evolution against those who would not expect it.

Weaknesses
Itself: The crystal that embodies Wodan is the only thing that tethers him to Earth. If it were to break, it would take long periods of time before it could manifest itself again on Earth.

Life Essence: Wodan requires daily feasting on Human souls in order to keep itself tethered to Earth. Were it caught for long periods of time without sustenance, it would be incapable of maintaining its ties to Earth.
