History Characters / CodexEquusJotunnPantheon

* OverprotectiveDad: He was absolutely ''FURIOUS]]'' when he heard that [[spoiler:Flœrð]] slept with his beloved love goddess daughter Elske Titanna after they dated behind his back, tearing through Jotunnheim and the rest of the Nine Realms out looking for him. He even [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/844421514/4851638679 besieged Hoygard]] by himself and threatened to literally tear up and inside-out the divine-realm of the Hoyklan Deer Pantheon to find him, though luckily High King Kaldr managed to talk him down.

* BladeOnAStick: His signature weapon, ''[[MeaningfulName Frussendöd]]'' ('Frozen Death'), was taken from the Fire Jotunn god of conquest whom he slain in his youth, having replaced its fire and destruction-based enchantments with those related to his domain. Being made from divinely-enchanted Muspellite - an extremely durable, magically-conductive mineral which could withstand the Fire Jotunns' own destructive powers - it is an incredibly strong and dangerous weapon.

* ByronicHero: Hrothgar is considered a war hero and a well-renowned Jotunn divine clan/sub-pantheon patriarch, and his character is notably multifaceted. Some who admire him sees him as a well-meaning, fair, stern-but-loving family-stag and god who expects much from his children and worshippers but rewards and respects them greatly when they pull through. Others who abhor him (and not getting crushed/eaten/frozen) sees him as a ruthless, brutal, uncompromising plunderer, conqueror and tyrant who is [[EvilReactionary old-fashioned]], unable to stand dissent, indulges in and even embodies [[RapePillageAndBurn very nasty aspects, character and domains of Jotunnkind]]. He broods over past wrongs both deep and petty, sticks to his own beliefs and honour code to the point of stubborness, often wants things does his way consequences be damned, but in the end, fights for what he's right and just wants the best of his family and even the world. In the end, he's very difficult to truly categorize - some might even argue he is 'too big to judge', both literally and metaphorically.

* CollectorOfTheStrange: Thanks in part to his domain of sailing, he's an avid collector of ships over the ages - as in, literally whole ships, which given his size are practically toy-sized. He likes collecting them so much in fact that he goes out of his way to get them in every way possible - from putting an order for one of every ship the Fillydelphia shipyards in Equestria produces (much to the shock, panic and confusion of everypony that day) to ''interrupting a bona-fide naval battle'' between two mortal Jotunn clan-kingdoms and their Tinies vassals' armadas off his lands' shores just to plunder the flagships and other ships from each fleet, eating the crews when they shoot at him in panic and throwing the whole orders of battle into utter chaos. He's also [[SeriousBusiness very]], ''[[SeriousBusiness very]]'' [[SeriousBusiness protective of his collection]] - damaging a vessel in his possession or disrespecting ships is a surefire way of '''''[[UnstoppableRage ABSOLUTELY]]''''' ''[[BerserkButton pissing him off]]''.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: The reason why he and Sigurn fell in love: both of them were evenly matched against each other in battle, and neither will back down against each other no matter how domineering and forceful they are. They more they confronted each other and fought to a stalemate in their squabble over the lands they wish to conquer the more they grew attracted to and admiring each other, until in their final fight they just stopped fighting half-way through and [[ThisAndThat got busy]]. It was not long before they called a truce and then married.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: The reason why she and Hrothgar fell in love: both of them were evenly matched against each other in battle, and neither will back down against each other no matter how domineering and forceful they are. They more they confronted each other and fought to a stalemate in their squabble over the lands they wish to conquer the more they grew attracted to and admiring each other, until in their final fight they just stopped fighting half-way through and [[ThisAndThat got busy]]. It was not long before they called a truce and then married.

* AnAxeToGrind: Wields a giant divine axe to chop up her foes whenever she's not simply crushing or eating them. It can also summon storms, and in her free time Astrid likes to chop the tops off ''mountains'' with it.

** Later, she [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/848558436/4868534816 had some of the wicked and unrepentant male survivors converted into toys for her youngest daughters.

** In that same incident, she also let Elske, her love goddess daughter, evacuate all the female Does, the innocent children and the few males who did not condone their society's misogynistic culture before she went on her divine rampage, showing if nothing else she doesn't hold those innocent of any wrongdoing accountable for the crimes of their fellows.

* BigEater: Partly due to his plundering greed and partly due to his domineering and conquering personality, he like other Giant deities love to devour those smaller than he is, with literally everyone smaller than he is potentially on the menu. It's explicitly stated that ''[[UpToEleven MILLIONS]]'' had been fed to his hunger, that he disciplined his wayward children/grandchildren by swallowing them and keeping them inside his belly as 'Time-Outs', and even devoured and sealed away one of his Fallen brothers, who likely rivals him in size. Of course his army/kingdom/land/pantheon chomping appetite is expected as a Jotunn deity, and is rivalled and even surpassed by other Giant deities mentioned previously and implied.

** He loves his daughters dearly, especially Astrid (a war goddess who takes after him) and Elske (a kind and gentle LoveGoddess who he is protective of). He also respected his sons, even if they did not follow his expectation (like his second son, who became an artisan instead of a warrior like him), and takes the initiative to patch things up with those whom he had a strained relationship (like his third son, who is implied to embody many of his worst parts taken UpToEleven and reigns over the hell-realms under the clan/sub-pantheon's control).

** A story/myth of uncertain accuracy held as truth by many Jotunn mortal sovereigns ruling in his region has him bedding no less than ''[[UpToEleven FIFTY]]'' princesses of a Jotunn king, all in a single night. Those sovereigns draws their legitimacy via claiming descent from him and one of those princesses.

* BigEater: Being big and hungry enough to swallowing whole lands comes with being a Giant deity, especially one for the biggest races of Giants on Equus, although even by Jotunn standards Elske takes this UpToEleven.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: UpToEleven, being described in terms of being something of a ''walking apocalypse''. Nightmarishly poetic narrations spoke of how he is wreathed in conflagrations that could scour continents, how his steps could shatter lands, how his wrath could annihilate entire empires, how his very breath could spell the death of millions. To say that this is not a guy you want to mess with is an UnderStatement.
