Claiming:Broken Covenant/Siegfried and Ragnar Thorsen - Approved

Name: Siegfried Abel Thorsen

Gender: Male

God Parent: Hecate

Mortal Parent: Gunnar Thorsen (Adopted by grandparents; Gunther Thorsen and Emilia Thorsen)

Appearance: (Currently 19 years old)



Personality: Siegfried is the utter polar opposite of his brother Ragnar. He's eloquent, charming, and courteous to a fault. He's easy to get along with, and only during rare moments does it appear as if he is aggravated. He is well-preserved and sticks to his morals, in stark contrast with his younger half-sibling. He's loyal to his allies, and would never even consider betraying them if given the chance. He's passionate, dependable, and civil. He's a well-mannered polite young individual that can tolerate most people, and if he cannot, usually he would attempt to stray from them. He's talented in blocking out people he isn't fond of from his mind, as he distracts himself with better, fonder things.

He cares for most people, even if they are total strangers. But the person he most definitely concerns himself the most is his brother. While he has committed despicable acts in the past; actions that forced Siegfried to join the Broken Covenant along with him, he still respects and worries over him. Ragnar is one of the few things he has of his old, tarnished life. While Ragnar tries to distant himself from Siegfried, he still watches over him, praying that there will never be a day where he finds himself victim to a demigod's blade instead.

Perhaps one of his grandest qualities would be how trustworthy and reliable he is. He despises lying and deception as a whole, and disapproves for his brother's actions as such. He can be dense however, especially considering how he remains unaware of how much Ragnar values his respect and tries to capture his attention through the homicides he commits. He's fiercely protective, but he doesn't know everything. He doesn't know about the abandonment Ragnar felt; the mental abuse he received when only Siegfried was acknowledged; and the fear he felt of being forgotten. He is lost and does not know it.

Weapons/Possessions: Dagger (Kardia), Sword

Faction: Civitas Popularis

Reason: "Unfortunately enough, the gods have indeed grown a bit unwise over the years. Countless of eras have passed during the reign and they have little to nothing to show for it. I do agree they need to fall . . . but once this goal is achieved, anarchy is a strong possiblity. We don't need to become corrupted like the "rulers" above us. We need law and order; impartiality as well. In my opinion, we demigods aren't the only ones that aren't getting a fair say. We need rights and we need justice, and in order to obtain all of this, we have to work together."

Name: Ragnar Jonah Thorsen

Gender: Male

God Parent: Kakia

Mortal Parent: Gunnar Thorsen (Adopted by grandparents; Gunther Thorsen and Emilia Thorsen)

Appearance: (Currently 19 years old)



Personality: Ragnar is the utter polar opposite of his brother Siegfried. He's rude, snide, and quick to judge. He's sadistic as well, and has no qualms for harming or even murdering others. He's a sinful bastard that only cares for his own needs and wants. He's a liar, and to some, a coward. He despises defeat almost as much as he disdains admitting it. He's disrespectful and greedily accepts compliments in spite of never giving any. It's easy to please him, due to his crowned vanity, but it's just as difficult to aggravate him. He's a vengeful spirit that will assure that whenever he is messed with, the assailant shall feel the full brunt of his choler and wrath.

He is most certainly a despicable young man that only worries for his personal concern. Or so he claims. Secretly, he has always yearned for the respect and compassion his half-sibling receives. While most would expect Ragnar to loathe Siegfried as much as he detests everyone else in general, he does not. He cannot bring himself to abhor his own brother, for he wants him to view him as an equal. As if the two of them had an impartial relationship. This confuses him, and at times, he wonders how he truly perceives his close yet distant brother. Whether it is hatred, attachment, or nonalignment.

Perhaps one of the most interesting qualities about Ragnar is how hypocritical and reckless he can be. He's intelligent as well as assertive, but sometimes, he acts before he thinks. During his worst times, he becomes under the impression that surpassing Siegfried is an impossibility. And whenever he is like this, he becomes depressed, pitiful, but more violent as well. He finds no joy in homicidal activity, seeing it as a simple distraction to the goals he finds improbable to be ever completed by him. His cowardice and regret compels and controls him more than his ambitions. He is a coward.

Weapons/Possesions: Kopis (Stauros)

Faction: Liberi Superum

Reason: "The gods are nothing but worthless and unneeded beings that rely not only on their children's aid, but mortals as well. They are a foolish race that do nothing but lay around; using us as their pawns in order to complete the quests they are too afraid of doing themselves while we rot and die on the battlefield. But I am no pawn. Taking control of the mortals, the gods' major source of power, is truly the way to crush their spirits. Was it not for the worship and respect they were given, they would not be as powerful as they are now. It's a simple strategy, really. Something I'm willing to be a part of."

- Ragnar Thorsen

History: Ragnar and Siegfried were born on the same year of the same month, but to two different goddesses. Siegfried's mother, Hecate, met Gunnar after he had one drink too many. He was always known as the wild drunkard of his family, and would usually come back to his home with a staggering drunkenness. After leaving the bar, it was then he had encountered the first of the goddesses he was to encounter. Hecate. He nearly bumped into her, but she moved with the agile speed of a serpent, avoiding him as if she had eyes on the back of her head. Gunnar collapsed to the ground, laughing giddily due to drink. But as he looked up, he was mesmerized by the beauty of the titaness. She regarded him with an amused content, as she brought a hand down to hoist the fallen man up. He grinned madly as he took her wrist, before pulling her towards him. Their lips made contact, and Hecate's eyes shot up in surprise and pleasure. Hecate drove them to his home, for Gunnar was too drunk to drive. Once there, the two had intercourse.

Once it was morning, however, Hecate had disappeared. Leaving nothing, not even a note or a trace of where she had gone. Gunnar was disappointed by this, but as usual, he bottled his sorrow inside with cocktails and beer. Two weeks after his experience with Hecate, Kakia appeared to him at the same bar. She was interested by the man, who had so daringly taken Hecate. She took advantage of his vice of lust, seducing him into having intimacy with her, before she too was gone. As if she nothing but a wisp of his imagination.

Gunnar became more violent after these two moments. He had met two different women during the month of January, and those two women left him, only staying with him for a short time. He became easily agitated, and would often engage himself in fights with the other drunkards. He had a lot of close calls, and would come home bruised, beaten, and tired. As well as lonely. Nine months passed from then, and Gunnar was almost done with his life. He probably would've sent himself to the Underworld was it not for the fact that Siegfried had appeared in his life. He was a little thing, wrapped in a violet blanket with a shimmering bronze bracelet on his arm. Inside the basket he was in, there was also a note. This note was written by Hecate, who claimed the world of Greek gods was a reality, and that the boy in the woven basket was their child; a demigod. Gunnar thought he was losing it of course, but he took Siegfried in willingly. He had a bad reputation already and leaving the boy to an orphanage would only fuel it.

A duration of a week passed, and once again, another child was in a basket. Ragnar, with a sprout of blond hair already erupting form his scalp, gave his father a toothless grin as Gunnar bent down to read yet another note. Only this time it was written by Kakia, telling the same message as Hecate's. For once, Gunnar acknowledged something as too big of a coincidence. Their world was real. The Ancient Greek gods said to only be simple myths were real. He fainted in his bedroom after setting Ragnar with his older brother in their carriage.

Stress constantly came to mind in Gunnar's head, especially now that he knew the truth and questioned everything he believed in. Only a month later, he nearly killed a man who had bothered him constantly in the bar. He had tried to strangle him, and probably would've ended his life, was it not for the fact he was tackled and beaten himself. Gunnar was brought to court, and was sent to confinement for a number of years.

Siegfried and Ragnar ended up in the custody of their elderly grandparents; Gunther and Emilia Thorsen.

They aspired for a better life for their grandchildren, in hopes they wouldn't end up like their violent father. Siegfried was their immediate favorite, however, so they paid more attention to him than they did Ragnar.

Eventually, a couple of years passed, and the duo were now in school. Siegfried became popular due to his overall good nature and attitude, and always helping a troubled person in need. Ragnar, however, took company in the form of the shadows and stood in the sidelines while his brother received praise. He was envious of him, and at the time, wanted nothing but for others to loose interest in him. Unfortunately for Ragnar, this did not happen.

Due to the brothers constantly being together, their first monster attack happened earlier than usual. A Scythian Dracanae infiltrated their school in the guise of a substitute teacher. At the end of the day, she told eleven-year-old Siegfried and Ragnar to stay after class, as she claimed she had something to tell the two of them. Confused at what they did, they looked at her questionably once the final bell had rung. And with her pray in front of her, she shed her mist form, and snarled at them with vibrant serpentine eyes.

Ragnar yelped, and in instinct, Siegfried grasped his brother's hand tightly as they attempted to dash out of the room. But the monster was fast, and no matter where they ran, she would always counter them. Finally, she had cornered them, and with a flicker of forked tongue, she tried to claim her meal. Before evaporating into a fountain of dust. A man stood over them now as the golden sand went with the wind. He appeared to be in his middle ages, with a hint of stubble covering his chin. His eyes, although young, seemed ancient in a way, but what was most profound about him was the shimmering blade he held in his hand.

He hoisted the two of them up as they stared at him in amazement. He took the two of them home, but while driving there, he explained who he was and what that monster was as well. He was Viggo Dahl, demigod son of Thanatos, who had actually been working as the vice principal of their school. He had been living a normal life for years now, with minor monster attacks. He had sensed something from Siegfried and Ragnar for a while now, and believed the monster attack had occurred not because of him, but due to the fact that they were both demigods. And on the topic of demigods, he explained about the world of Greek gods and how their world was a reality, and about the monsters that secretly inhabited this world as well. He warned them that the attacks would soon become a common occurrence, and that they should sought out a camp. He said he'd be willing to bring them there when they're ready.

Of course, while the story was a bit out of there, the children had to agree with his claims. They nearly had their life taken, after all. After dropping them home, Viggo left, and a normal life pursued for the brothers. For now that is.

Three years later, their grandparents died of old age. Siegfried was in tears during the funeral, while Ragnar just looked down at their corpses with a cold gaze. Viggo arrived as well with a satyr companion, and said they were now under his jurisdiction, having manipulated the mist.

They traveled from airport to airport, killing monsters along the way. They eventually reached New York. Viggo, however, claimed while he did wanted them to join camp, he also wanted to train them as well. And so he did.

He gave Siegfried a dagger, which he called Kardia, the Greek word for heart. Ragnar was given a shimmering blade named Stauros, which meant cross. They sparred and battled and trained, until eventually, they had grown strong under a period of another three years. They were attacked by monsters, of course, but their training had taught them to be swift and strong. Whenever a hellhound appeared, they would act as team, Ragnar weakening the beast, while Siegfried finished it off.

Life was good again for awhile. Until they were aware of the true nature of Viggo. Truth be told, he was a former Broken Covenant member that was exiled after killing off a number of his fellow members. Before being struck down, he had shadow-traveled, and hid in fear for years. He thought that by handing down two promising members, he would be pardoned, and might even be allowed to join the Covenant again. But Ragnar had learned of his plot. He had never liked Viggo, and the way he treated them. While he was unaware of what the BC was, somehow, he was certain it wouldn't be like living in camp. In secret, he had lurked in Viggo's room in their apartment, before stabbing him with the same sword he was given.

Viggo screamed, alerting the satyr, who Ragnar struck down as well. He roused Siegfried, and the two fled, and tried searching for camp on their own. It was difficult, as despite being in New York, everything was still unfamiliar to them. It took three weeks for a local satyr to find them, and bring them to camp.

They stayed in camp for a period of three years. Siegfried, again, was popular while Ragnar just stood behind him once more. He didn't even have a cabin, due to Kakia not having one. It was a lonesome time for him again, as while his brother had friends, he had none. Feeling isolated, Ragnar grew violent and colder, and started fascinating about killing again. Ending Viggo and the satyr had brought him a type of adrenaline, and he wanted to experience it again. He also started losing his faith in the gods as well.

Finally, Ragnar had enough. During the dead of the night, he followed Siegfried as he, his Hephaestus child friend Adam, and his Aphrodite child girlfriend Monica went out to the forest to explore. While Siegfried claimed he had to do something, Ragnar made his move. He slit the throat of Monica, and fought Adam. He was a strong opponent, and his carefully crafted sword could've easily ended Ragnar's reign. But he cursed the vice of sloth on Adam, causing him to move sluggish and vulnerable. Ragnar ended him then.

Siegfried came back and viewed in horror the massacre Ragnar caused. Ragnar shoved him to the ground, and told him it was time to stop worshiping the gods, and to fight against them instead. He forced him to search the BC along with him, while he mourned the deaths of his friends. He was horrified to know he was now going to use the sword of Adam, much to his alarm. But as they looked for the BC, Siegfried wondered to himself. What if the gods had grown weak? His mother certainly did not visit him or even remotely imply she cared for him. He grew even more unsure as the days passed, by until he was fully convinced himself. After a month of searching, they had found the BC, and sought to join their factions.
