Name: Hela
Fandom: Marvel Comics
Timeline: Post Journey Into Mystery issue #625 (After allying herself with Mephisto against the Serpent)
Age: Unknown. REALLY freakin' old. Appears mid-to-late twenties
Appearance: Hela makes for an intimidating first impression, standing at just under 7" tall with jet-black hair that falls past her waist and green eyes that can turn completely white or completely red depending on the situaion. Her skin is a deathly-pale white. She has two tribal-looking tattoos on both legs that start about mid-calf, extending around and end at the top of her feet. While her wardrobe changes frequently, there is always one VERY necessary constant; Hela's cloak.
Without the green, ultra-customsiable cloak, the left side of Hela's body appears dead and decaying with the right side remaining youthful and beautiful. Her cloak not only gives her power, but keeps her whole. She only needs to be touching it for the magic to take effect, so even when she isn't "wearing" it, she is definitely lying on it or has it draped over a part of her body. Typically she turns it into a robe or dress in casual settings, a strategically-placed cover up in more casual settings, and a cape when she's dressed in full battle regalia.
When she is wearing her armour, it's always done in black and green with this MASSIVE headpiece/cowl that covers her face from the eyes up. It has these... protrusions that sort of resemble a cross between the tattoos on her legs and antlers. Typicall in fac, she'll be wearing just her cloak fashioned into different dresses or she'll just be walking around with it draped over her important parts.

Personality: Hela is a being bound by duty. She is a queen with no freedom, charged with the responsibility of keeping and caring for the dead of Asgard. While Valhalla gathers the souls of those who died as heroes, Hela gets the souls of those who didn't die such honourable deaths. She resents Odin for basically setting her up for a loss by only letting her claim what are essentially the 'rejects' to build an army for the final battle of Ragnarok. She wants what Odin has and often goes to great lengths to accomplish this. It always ends badly.
She is quick to anger, wrath, and violence with very little patience and a great deal of power. Her pride is her greatest downfall when coupled with her hatred of Odin and the fact that she feels slighted, cast off, and trapped in the lowest of the nine realms within a frigid wasteland. Hela is very much the villain where Odin and Valhalla are concerned, but she is kind to the dead souls in her charge. Well... as kind as an egotistical death goddess can be. She does have the capacity to show compassion but her heart is very much a cold and hardened thing.
When away from her realm, Hela takes great pleasure in manipulation and cat-and-mouse games. When she takes up residence in Las Vegas, she has lost much of her responsibility and is shown to be fun-loving in the darkest way possible. She toys with mortals and drains their life forces to keep her strong and then keeps the bodies in a closet. She calls them diversions. Playthings that temporarily hold her attention. A bored Hela is incredibly dangerous which is why Odin charged her with ruling all of the dead in the first place.
History:
Hela is the daughter of Loki and Angrboda, both Jotuns (Frost Giants). When Hela was born, the norns warned Odin that she would be a great danger to the gods of Asgard. As a preventative measure, and probably to punish Loki for existing, Odin made Hela the goddess of Death and placed her in the lowest of the nine realms, Niffleheim. She spent little, if any, time in Asgard. She was born in Jotunheim and relocated to her palace in Hel.
As the Queen of Hel and the goddess of death, her duty is to collect and guard the souls of Asgardian warriors that did not die as heroes. The ones that die an honourable death go to Valhalla, part of Odin's domain. Hel and Valhalla both need as many warrior souls as possible for the upcoming final battle, Ragnarok. Hela was not content with her place as dictated by Odin and tried many times to take over Valhalla while he had fallen into the Odinsleep. She was thwarted each time and it drove her to have her legions of dead build a large warship, Naflgar. She used this ship to help her father, Loki, attack Asgard and cause the final battle of Ragnarok.
Hela, along with many other Asgardians, was killed during the events of Ragnarok but later resurrected. Her soul was reborn inside a Midgardian host until she could be reawakened as a god with only a fraction of her power remaining. She was left without a Hel and without most of her souls. She appeared later on during a meeting of the death gods to discuss the fate of Limbo and was granted a small portion of it. She took up residence in Las Vegas and set up her corner of Limbo, temporarily free from a large chunk of her responsibility and the power that goes with it.
thor #12 jan 2009 - Loki, currently using Sif's body, pays his daughter a visit to request her help. After much flattery, Hela agrees and lends Loki her power to go back in time and do what has already been done. It's very complicated. When Loki's work is finished, Hela tells him that she recognizes the body he's using as belonging to the Lady Sif. She may be stuck in Hel most of the time, but it doesnt mean she doesn't know what's going on. Jeeze, dad. She, quite obviously, states that when Thor figures it out, he'll kill Loki and asks him what his plan is when he's not wearing the meat-shield. Loki just tells her to be ready for when he calls on her next.
x-force #22 feb 2010 necrosha and x-force #23 mar 2010 Necrosha - During the events of necrosha, Hela is summoned to save the life of Rahne, mate of Hrimhari, and their unborn child. Hela agrees to save one life in exchange for Hrimhari's soul, but not both. He has to choose between the child or his mate. Hrimhari instead chooses Elixir, a healer, and begs him to save Rahne and the child before Hela drags him to Hel. No great loss, Hela still claims her soul.
SIEGE: Basically Asgard has fallen to Earth and Hel is lost for good. Loki's behind it obviously, and then all this junk happens. Asgard gets destroyed and everything is totally messed up forever.
new mutants 11 - may 2010 - hel's valkyrie - Dani Moonstone owes Hela a favour and she calls it in, summoning the young mutant to her current lair in Las Vegas. Hela, lacking a Hel, as turned a dimensional pocket at the top of a luxurious building into her own, personal corner of Hel.
Hela had given Moonstone the powers of a valkyrie to conquer the god Ares in battle. She succeeded and now Hela needs that valkyrie to guide the souls of the immortals to her without her proper realm. An unconventional method for an unconventional situation.
"This is the gathering of the dead. If you liked it, there would be something wrong with you. Only Hela likes it. And it is not a matter of whether she likes it or not. It must be done and done swiftly... For there are worse fates than Hel."
Hela is talking of the Disir, monsters of legend, Bor's valkyries, they hunger endlessly and consume the souls of the dead. Without her true realm of Hel on Niffleheim, the dead are vulnerable and Hela can't protect them from this new threat. Dani arrives at the battlefield, briefly leaving the dead souls she was meant to collect in favour of joining the valkyries of Valhalla in battle. The Disir appear and start to feast. Tyr, the fallen god of war, holds them off until Dani realizes her mistake and fights them off. She brings the remaining souls back to Hela and confronts her.
Dani asks why Hela did not warn her about the Disir and she counters angrily, explaining that to speak their name will draw their attention and that she gave Dani her duty. Dani chose to ignore it.
"We do not always get to choose our duties."
-------
Until this whole Disir thing, Hela was perfectly content to let the souls wander freely, but this new threat proves too much. Loki appears with a soloution. He sells her a slice of land in Mephisto's Hell where she can protect the souls in her charge. Hela had no idea that it was Loki who had the Disir on a leash and as payment for the land he gave her, he sells the Disir to Hela's new landlord. Now not only does Mephisto have control over her greatest threat, but she's on his turf.
Loki pretends to be on her side and even fashions a blade that will defeat the Disir, or so he says. Hela can't fight them off and protect her souls at the same time. She retreats to her corner of Hel and transforms herself into a fortress to house the dead and fend off the monsters at her gate. As the fortress is attacked, pieces of Hela's soul are destroyed. She sends a desperate plea to the Asgardians to save the souls of their dead. Tyr and Thor come to her aid. The two warriors defeat Mephisto, the Disir, and Loki (he got ripped to pieces) after a long battle. Hela and her souls are safe, but still renting from the devil.
We don't see Hela for a long time after that. During her absence, Loki manages to die and Asgard is destroyed. Before he died, Loki manipulated Hela into taking his name out of the book of Hel. He does not stay dead. He is reborn as a child. Mephisto calls him out and threatens to out him as the mastermind behind the release of the Disir, so he runs to Hela's castle and attempts to help her just as she is approached by The Serpent. She reluctantly accepts Loki's aid, sending her handmaiden, Leah, to watch over him. The two gather information and return to Hela who decides it's in her best interest to join forces with Mephisto and go against the Serpent. Hell and Hel stand united with Loki trying to make amends and save his ass at the same time. Hela is still unaware of his involvement with the Disir at this point and effectively becomes his guardian during this new crisis.
Roleplay Sample - Log: Hela, much like any other Asgardian, did not find her state of nakedness shameful. However, her heart skipped a beat when she awakened in an unfamiliar environment completely bare. She immediately sat up and looked down at her body. She was whole. Complete. Ah, there it was...
Pale hands grabbed up the green fabric and properly draped it over both shoulders, securing it at the waist and letting it hang open down her back. A queen must always look her best, even in such strange surroundings. She would not waste her breath on exclamations of the impossibility of capture, nor would she scoff at the idea of a god being stolen. She had been significantly weakened prior to her awakening on the examination table. The collar around her neck only served to weaken her further. Hela watched and waited, crossing her legs at the ankles and sitting as regally as she could manage given the current situation.
Someone would appear to tell her the purpose of her being here soon enough. Until that moment, the best course of action was to observe and calculate. Form a plan. Devise strategy. Conserve much-needed energy. No one could cheat death for long. No one could contain it forever.
Roleplay Sample - Journal: This place appears almost midgardian in it's construction. But the barrenness, the simplicity in metal and white... it almost reminds me of home.
I have read the information provided and I am more impressed than upset. Capturing the goddess of death is no easy feat. Val seems to be a truly intriguing entity. I would like to know more. I crave discussion, conversation. What creatures have been gathered here? Your population spans across the nine realms and beyond.
If anyone is up for a friendly chat, please let me know as soon as possible. I don't bite.
... But I can do much worse than that.
This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function? She lives in Hel. I am fully confident in her ability to handle fac. <3
Questions? Comments? Crazed and creative statements? Those go here. She... She kind of needs her cloak to function. Without it, the entire left side of her body is a rotting corpse and she doesn't have access to her powers. Can she have it on her when she wakes up? She needs to be at least touching it at all times for her to appear normal. I'm cool with it getting taken away at points in the game, but for the most part, she needs it to live!
