Firstly – Sorry for the long wait: A couple of things happened to me, I got extremely busy with school and band and a lot of other stuff like overnight one day so I didn't have much time to write, that and I got a really bad writer's block Like, a really bad one I couldn't write ANYTHING it was so annoying. But now I'm back and I got over my writer's block thankfully, so…enjoy!

Hey all, this isn't a chapter here, go to the next chapter if you want to read the story, all this stuff here is practically unimportant. But the topic came to me from a review ((From Amarie Miriel)). This right here, is going to be an overview of all the things I changed to Norse, well, almost all, I'm still getting some together.

I'll probably also analyze the characters we've encountered so far in here.

Yeah, Amarie, thanks for the suggestion, but I'm 10 steps ahead of you, I am extremely interested in Scandinavian Mythology, and I had already gone ahead and replaced most of the Millennium Items with Norse figures. :Happy Face:

So, here goes…

Disclaimer – I disclaim any and all themes/characters from "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Hamingja

((Millennium Puzzle))

Owner – Luther Jacobs

Hamingja is the replacement of Yugi's Puzzle. The differences between the two are as follows: The puzzle is orb, or, sphere shaped, instead of the pyramid shape. Also, it is Pewter, not Gold. Instead of the Egyptian Eye on the front, there is a Norse depicted symbol for the eye of Odin. It obviously does not contain the spirit of "The Pharaoh," rather, it contains the soul of a Scandinavian King called Domar. Domar was characterized by the plentiful crops and wealth that came about during his reign. Hamingja is actually the Norse word meaning "Luck, or Success"

Mjolnir – ((Mh-jole-neer))

((Millennium Rod))

Owner – Rex Raptor Senior

It is most likely not common knowledge that Thor's Hammer is actually named Mjolnir. Well, it is. Some of you may even recognize this word as what the Spartans' armour was called in the "Halo" video game series, and if you look through it enough, you'll also find that there are many other Norse references in the games. So, the difference here is that instead of this artifact looking like an axe ((which it kinda does in the show and such)) it looks more like a large mallet. Kept inside the hammer is the soul of Loki, who is in Norse Mythology the God of discord and mischief. He is also considered to personify evil in Scandinavian religion. Mjolnir is made with the same kind of Pewter as Hamingja, as does all the other artifacts, except the next artifact.

Drapnir – ((Drap-neer))

((Millennium Ring))

Owner – Weevil Underwood

Okay, probably the first thing on your mind "What! Weevil with the Millennium Ring? Preposterous!" this is cuz I enjoy changing characters around. That's basically it. Drapnir is, instead of that necklace-ring thing Bokura has, it is an Armband. In Norse Mythology, Draupnir was actually the Armband of Odin. This is the only gold item in all the Norse Items ((I think, it is liable to change)). The difference with this, there's none of that fancy dangly stuff on it, just the eye of Odin to show that it's one of the artifacts.

Giallar Horn

((Millennium Key))

Owner – N/A

Yeah, I know, "How did I get a horn from a key?" Well, firstly, it's a horn like a musical horn thing, yeah. Secondly, it's the horn of my favorite of the Norse Gods, Heimdall, the watcher of the gods. So, the difference lies in the physical appearance, instead of a key, it is like a horn you would see from like LOTR or something, one of those horns made from a real horn and stuff…yeah. And it's Pewter.

Odin's Right Eye

((Millennium Eye))

Owner – Maximillian Pegasus

Yeah, Pegasus still has it, I think he deserves it, as long as he uses it responsibly ((which is hard, I think)). He hasn't done anything horrible with it anyways…yet. In my story, there was no Duelist Island or anything, not yet at least. Differences, well, it doesn't look like the Egyptian Eye, I can tell you that much, it looks like the Norse depicted Odin's Eye, I'm not too sure what that looks like, but, use your imagination. It's Pewter.

-----!

Well, that's all I got for that right now, and now I think I'm going to go into the character stuff, yeah I will.

Luther Jacobs

I've used Luther in plenty of stories before; he's my current favorite name for my characters. As for past favorites, I often used Harek Longbow, and I also used Blake Kinlion ((Kin-lee-un)) for quite a while. But I got bored with those and decided to ironically use a name that was more "Normal." Luther, as you might have already figured out, replaces Yugi in the show/manga, whatever you're interested in. Not much to say here, he's supposed to have the semi-same personality as Yugi, but it's hard.

Rex Raptor Jr.

Yay, Rex Raptor! He's my favorite amongst the characters from the show ((along with Weevil, they make the greatest team)). In the story, he takes the place of Joey Wheeler, who is the proactive, offensive guy. He rawks, in short.

Rex Raptor Sr.

Ok, here's where things get confusing. So, we have Mr. Rex Raptor, owner of RexCorps, the developers of SolidVision hologram technology. Ergo, one could assume that he takes the place of Kaiba. Upon closer inspection though, we can also figure out that he is kinda the substitute for Marik thing. Yeah, he's like Kaiba, Marik, and Pegasus all in one, crazy huh? Well, I think this brings a whole new spin on the story and I enjoy the concept profoundly. I say this because 1) He owns RexCorps, like Kaiba, 2) He has an evil influence, like Marik, 3) He is like the boss, "the big man," like Pegasus was.

Just to add to the confusion, I haven't really figured out the entire personality of Rex Raptor Senior yet. I think I'm leaning towards him being good-hearted deep down, but is highly intrigued by the idea of power and the fact that Loki is influencing his ideas too greatly that his is being unwillingly evil. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Loki is promising him power, but only has evil ways for him to gain the power. See? I haven't really figured it all out yet, but you'll see later on that Raptor really is kind of nice…ish…I'm so weird and confused P.

That's practically all you need to know for now, another overview might come in to play later. So…let's get back to the story!
