To start of my NHL series, here is an NHL expansionary idea for the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference, the St. John’s Berserkers. My grandmother hails from Newfoundland and grew up playing hockey in the 20s and 30s. This is pure fantasy to even think the NHL would ever put a team in a city as small as St. John’s but hey Green Bay’s an even smaller town and they’ve got an iconic NFL team there. Anyhow I decided to honor Newfoundland history and the fact that the Vikings were at L’anse Aux Meadows and named the team in St. John’s after these legendary fighters. I decided to be authentic in my design and not include horns on the helmet since archeology has shown this to be inaccurate. The berserker carries a hockey stick and wears a blue tunic with a fur mantle. Again I know there will never be a professional team in St. John’s but this design is one of my favorites.

Įnvironmental hazards have been incorporated in the form of poison gas barrels, which when burst open can drive victims berserk if within the expanding radius of fumes Shay can avoid being affected by pulling a gas mask over his face. All together, the three regions require more exploration than all of Black Flag. New York is also bigger than its first appearance in Assassin's Creed III, as it is 20 years before the Revolution and so the Great Fire of 1776 has not happened yet. Meanwhile, the River Valley is a hybrid of land-based and naval gameplay, with seamless river navigation integrated into a map reminiscent of the Frontier from Assassin's Creed III. With the help of an ice-breaker ram, navigation is supplemented and additional secret areas can be reached. The North Atlantic is an icy water-based region, where icebergs can be used as cover during naval combat, as well as broken to reveal frozen cargo and Animus data fragments. The primary locations in the game are New York City, the Hudson River Valley, and the North Atlantic, specifically, the area around Newfoundland and Nova Scotia known as the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Being smaller than Edward Kenway's brig Jackdaw, it can easily navigate the tight bays of the Hudson River Valley and the iceberg-heavy regions in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Through Shay, the player controls his ship, the modified sloop-of-war Morrigan. With the historical Seven Years' War having almost the same level of European naval activity as the Golden Age of Piracy, if not more due to the unmatched power of England's Royal Navy, Rogue appropriately incorporates the naval element previously established in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Freedom Cry. The compilation was released worldwide on December 6, 2019. On September 4, 2019, it was announced that Rogue, along with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag would be released together on the Nintendo Switch as a compilation known as Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection. A remastered version of the game was later released globally for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on March 20, 2018. The game was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on Novemin the United States, Novemin Europe, Novemin the United Kingdom, and Mafor the PC. The game follows the story of the Assassin-turned- Templar Shay Cormac, taking place during the Seven Years' War from 1752–1760, and is the closing chapter in the Kenway family's saga. It is the seventh main installment in the Assassin's Creed series. Keep an eye on WindowsCentral.Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a 2014 open-world action adventure game that is developed by Ubisoft Sofia and published by Ubisoft. The Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed Rogue is currently backward compatible so if you don't want to wait for a possible remaster, you can experience it right now. The game takes you to a variety of locations like New York City, the Wild River Valley, and even up to the North Atlantic in pursuit of your targets. Cast aside by those he once called brothers, Shay sets out on a mission to wipe out all who turned against him and to ultimately become the most feared Assassin hunter in history. After a dangerous mission goes tragically wrong, Shay turns his back on the Assassins who attempt to end his life. Amid the chaos and violence of the French and Indian War, Shay Patrick Cormac, a fearless young member of the Assassins Brotherhood, undergoes a dark transformation that will forever shape the future of the colonies. Assassin's Creed Rogue takes place in North America around the 18th century.

Meta: Possible other classes Brynhildr can manifest in.

|| Send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on.

@noircisaint.

✕   Brynhildr can manifest in LANCER and RIDER classes, in canon. Lancer makes sense; Rider makes sense when you remember that Valkyries can fly and maybe she would have a Nordic longship with her complete with warriors as a Noble Phantasm, who knows? We haven’t seen Rider class Brynhildr yet. 

HOWEVER, I firmly, truly, one hundred percent believe that she can easily qualify for the following classes, and AS SUCH, I would have zero issue writing her in these classes if anyone wanted to mess around. Since this is Tumblr rp and there are no rules, let’s proceed.

SABER | ARCHER | CASTER | BERSERKER | AVENGER

SABER | ARCHER

Here’s the thing. It is canon that Brynhildr has absorbed the abilities from thousands upon thousands of warriors into herself from her time as a Valkryie. This was why she was not surprised at all by Assassin’s techniques and easily countered them in Fragments by using a style of fighting that came from Assassin’s people. Vikings went all over the world, from Newfoundland, Canada, to Ireland, Scotland, England, down to Germany and France, all over Europe, around the Iberian peninsula INTO the Mediterranean to sack cities as far as Rome on the northern shore and they are known to have gotten to the Middle East, based on dated artifacts found in the region. On the the other side of things, Vikings sailed down the Volga River into Russia and explored through Eastern Europe, reached the Black Sea, and ALL THE WHILE they established SETTLEMENTS everywhere they went. From 793 to 1200, all of Europe, a little into Asia, the Middle East, and the northern shores of Africa were their playground. Brynhildr knows how to use all manner of weapons from all sorts of places, so I have no issue placing her in the Saber class or Archer class. Vikings used spears, axes, swords, and bows during their raids, and picked up the use of foreign weapons from the people they raided (to include the cross-bow in Francia). I believe that her abilities and strengths in Saber class would be on par with her Lancer class abilities, but she would be weaker in Archer class since she has a more natural proclivity to closer combat.

CASTER

Let us never forget that Brynhildr taught Sigurd PRIMORDIAL RUNES. Not just magecraft, but PRIMORDIAL RUNES that are reserved for gods, and are Nordic in origin. I feel as though for her to be Summoned as a Caster with any amount of lethality, her Divinity would have to be much higher than it is. There is a lot of magic in Brynhildr’s legend, both used by her and against her. So… for her to be summoned as a Caster, I believe she would still have to be a Divine Spirit, which she no longer is.

BERSERKER

Berserkers are Nordic in origin. The phrase BERSERKER comes from the Old Norse for bear shirt, which comes is derived from the fact that berserker warriors would wear bear pelts and wolf pelts on their bodies as they fought without a shirt underneath. Berserkers were used as shock troops, and were often reserved as guards and personal units of protection for European royalty. In truth, they were mercenaries when in the employment of European kings. 

(Mun note — often, they were part of a deal, with the European king saying something along the lines of: We’ll give you this much gold and you can have this land in exchange for not attacking us, and oh, by the way, can we have some of your warriors to protect us from our rivals? We’re terrified but also impressed and want some on our side.).

They fought rageously, without grace, and without any care or fear of death — though, the same can be said for most Nordic warriors, as an honorable and violent death in battle curried the favor of the Valkyries and gave one a better chance of being chosen for Valhalla.

To be summoned in the Berserker class, a Hero must have gone berserk in battle at least once in their lifetime. Brynhildr’s legend as a Valkyrie and her fall from grace is almost entirely overshadowed by the mindless and vicious SLAUGHTER that she committed against Sigurd and his family and loved ones upon learning of her betrayal. She absolutely lost her mind. I don’t believe that this is the first time, either, as losing your mind in battle was encouraged among her culture. Some sources have actually quoted Brynhildr (as much as you can quote a legend who may or may not have existed) as saying, “Let no one say that there has been too little bloodshed,” before beginning her onslaught. When I write Brynhildr fighting, I do try to portray her going gracefully berserk, complete with the bloodcurdling screaming that Valkyries are famous for.

AVENGER

As said above… … … The culmination of Brynhildr’s legend is a story of vengeance. Sigurd did her dirty, so she killed him by cutting him in half the long way (only directly in Fate, but this is Fate, so woo), his family (to include his child), all of his friends, and then killed herself to follow him into the afterlife so that they could be together forevermore. Brynhildr’s legend is a means of teaching youngsters what the epitome of a scorned woman is. Simultaneously, Brynhildr is also used as a means to teach what a perfect woman is — a great warrior, a mother, wifely, and devoted to her husband so much that she would kill him to keep him to herself.

With her story finishing in a maddened fit of vengeance… how could she not be an Avenger?
