Background
Chance Asger came out of nowhere. He just showed up at NYU one day to take classes. None of the teachers even questioned it, he was on the attendance and that was that. No one could remember him from before that day, or indeed ever knew him. Nor is he keen to elaborate on his past. He dances around the questions like a stepping around a puddle.
The end of Chance's visitation…
Idun placed a hand on a wooden box next to the bed. "In here you will find two of my gifts for you. A bow, and an arm cuff. Use them to protect yourself and others. My third gift is on your back, you will see it later, I'm sure." He turned his head as saw part of a tattoo spreading along his shoulders. "It will let you contact and call to you your fourth gift. He is a noble beast and will serve you well. But I suggest the park for when you call him."
"There is a fifth gift, though you might not think of it as such. A new life has been made for you, documents, this apartment, a bank account, and an enrollment at the local university. Your name is Chance Asger, now. I wished to name you Asgeirr when you were born, but I couldn't. Now I can. I'm sorry that were are doing this to you, but you were to die anyway. Take this as your second chance. Follow your instincts, you can do this, Asgeirr." He felt her touch on his forehead and then she was gone.
He took a few days to settle in, let his mind adjust to this new life. He was back in his prime, in fact he was better than he ever was. One extra gift was left in the wooden box, an old band of gold, a ring, perhaps the one thing from his old life Idun would allow him to keep. Though he couldn't help but feel bitter. He was being used, he couldn't figure out how, but he knew it. His life, instead of ending, was taken from him. In fact, many of the memories of his old life were foggy, almost as if from a dream. He was being forced to dance on someone's string and he wasn't pleased with it. Though for now he's decided to dance as told, until he can figure out how the tune goes.
Personality
Chance is really a good guy deep down. He's what many would call an old soul. Despite his youth, he rarely shows bouts of exuberance or flights of fancy. He's grounded, careful, and thoughtful, with a taste for the simpler pleasures in life. He's more the type that will spend a long weekend off from school reading than he is to fly down to Florida to hit the beaches. The world, especially of late, has eaten away at him. He often comes off as bitter and a little cynical, and he really couldn't care less for this whole grand destiny determined by Fate thing. However, he plays along for now. The knowledge that he is being used also makes him brazenly stubborn, fast to dig in his heels when he feels like he's being led around by the nose. In the end, those that do manage to get close to him will find a life long friend with a loyal streak a mile wide.

Relic - Rondfjor
This is an armcuff that looks to be made of unworked ash wood, simply having grown into the shape it is. In fact its made from the still living wood of Yggdrasil. Held between a fine lattice is a piece of amber, suspended within this is a single apple seed from one of Idun's golden apples. In fact, the seed from the apple that Chance himself ate.

Relic - Varkvist
A bow of seemingly unworked wood, it appears to have just grown into the necessary shape. It is actually a small branch that fell from Yggdrasil and was repurposed. The bowstring is woven from hairs taken from the mane of Sleipnir. The bow does not actually need loading, whenever the string is drawn, the still living wood quickly grows a wooden arrow, fletched with leaves.

Relic - Hreinnblod
This relic is actually a tatoo that spans Chance's back. Centered on his back is a deer's head, a pair of antlers runs up to his shoulders and a bit of the way down his arms. It appears black, but in the right light is shown to be a very deep crimson. This tattoo was created using ink made by mixing some of Eikstyri's blood with divine Ichor and applied using feathers from Huginn and Muninn as needles. Being made from Eikstyri's blood, it allows him to be summoned. Even should he be defeated, as long as the tattoo is worn by someone with divine ichor, Eikstyri will be restored to life at the next dawn.
3 points - Summons Eikstyri; Restores Eikstyri; Animal purview
Creature - Eikstyri
Eikstyri is a Gothreinn, a stag from the herd of reindeer that roam the woods of Asgard. He was gifted to Chance to serve as his companion and steed. A creature of legend, Eikstyri is supernaturally strong and quick, as well he was trained to respond to his rider's commands as perfectly as if he was running with the herd.

Rumors
Legend: 2 - There's a rumor going around that a new scion was allowed to eat one of Idun's golden apples as part of his visitation. That's how the gods keep young and healthy, but being allowed to eat one without achieving godhood? Then again, it's just a rumor.
Bitter and Blue - Michael Weatherly
I’ve got a query, so I’ll riddle you.
You and your theories,
Divine, false, and true.
But what about the gnawing doubt inside?
Here’s mud in your eye.
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel
You remember those days hanging out at the village green?
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans.
You drop a dime in the box, play a song about New Orleans.
Cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights.
Times They Are a-Changing - Bob Dylan
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast.
The slow one now, will later be fast.
As the present now, will later be past.
The order is rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now, will later be last.
For the times they are a-changin'.
