Story Post: Einherjar candidate: Hix

Look what I found on the internet, Ma: A Biography of Hix

Now I am supposed to suggest stuff. Which is silly because I just spent 45 minutes writing a biography for this guy. But anyways:
Statistics: The Einherjar Statistics are(more for lolz than anything. I want Hix to have fun choosing these)):
Wit +5
Scholasticism +8
Combat -3
Moxie -4
Artistry -7
Tinkering +3
Charisma -10
Mysticism +0

Binary Einherjar Statistics: [male,insane,honorable]

Other text stuff: The Valkyrie Hix may not own the Einherjar Hix because that would ruin all the fun.

DIShonorable, for using that loophole.

DIShonorable, for being the result of a loophole.

Exploiting loopholes is only dishonourable when it actually effects the game. Here it doesn’t matter what the Einherjar are named, so while you might call it a loophole its funny, not dishonorable =P

That bio’s dated.  The First Dynasty of Bucky happened as planned six months later.

Unless there’s something he hasn’t told us, I don’t think Hix is a character “from history or from Norse mythology”.

Amnistar: he/him

He’s real, ergo, he’s from history?

Clucky: he/him

Didn’t you read the bio Kevan? Hix is a very important historical character, and the biography describes why he is important. The ruleset never said the webpage needed to be full of confirmable facts =P

No, but the ruleset does say that the post itself has to be about a character “from history or from Norse mythology”. The web link is just an additional link - nowhere is it specified as being the standard by which “historical” is judged.

If you personally want to call Hix a historical figure, that’s fine, we’d just call a CfJ if it got as far as having a game effect. But I assume that the Allfather will either ignore or reject this one.

misnomer!

It’s not a Historical figure that must be mentioned, it must be a character from history.  If you want to say that hix never existed, then you should take that up with him.  I wouldn’t say he’s a historical figure at all, merely that he is a character from history.

Yes, I’m assuming them to be loose synonyms. But this is far too much overanalysis for a loophole that doesn’t actually give any game advantage.

Clucky: he/him

Exactly. And honestly, the whole point of this was just to be able to post the biography of Hix. While I’d like to see him added, as long as Hix reads it and has a lol I am happy.

Hix, being the allfather, can’t get any einherjar.

Well, I can’t bid on them.  Someone could trade me, though.
