𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆:
Years ago, the pride of Asgard was formed under a lone male and his beloved queen. Together, they had cubs, invited outcasts, moved homes and built a kingdom — a community — that was passed from generation to generation. It survived climate hardships, malevolent kings, and losses of their ancestral heritage. Mani was the last known ruler before Anneli, and for a short spell Mani led the nation with grace and dignity that was akin to several of his predecessors.

Until … he was gone.
His council tore apart the lands for him, needing a figure head at the throne to keep the country secure from revolt, but overtime the searches began to wilt. City populous thinned and it seemed that Asgard went from a bustling hub of life and laughter to a ghost town overnight.
That is until Anneli’s arrival.

Flanked by an aged Mani, Anneli declared that the world beyond Asgard’s borders had severely deteriorated and its horrors took a toll on Mani to a point that he had made Anneli his successor. The council that had stayed was immediately tasked to track down any remaining survivors or stragglers so they can start to rebuild. What they didn’t know was that the pair had a secret. While the two weren’t lying about how catastrophic the state of the world beyond had become by then, they didn’t know the truth of how a once healthy and powerful ruler such as Mani had aged so quickly; they didn’t know Anneli had sealed a deal with the devil.


Like before, however, Asgard rebuilt. Old members returned, as aged as Mani, and new faces flocked to the rising and rebuilding sun that seemed to centre itself as a blossoming hub of hope in a decrepit landscape. But Anneli was never meant to rule forever and on Mani’s deathbed he instructed Anneli and the council to find a more … secure leader. And thus Ragnar came into the picture.
Young, from beyond the frigid wasteland of Asgard’s borders, and with a head full of dreams and adventure, he seemed like the capable fit. He was governed and educated by respectable members of the community — Floki, Fenrir, Leif, Frostulf to name a few — and everything seemed to be on a path that in a few months time he’d be the new sovereign.

Winter began to creep in and one early morning, as a slight bluster of snow and rain fell, a foreign face descended across the outlands. It moved with a confident purpose but wore garb that was not from within the borders of the country, and far too thin for the foggy, cold weather outside. Yet it didn’t seem bothered. It strolled into the heart of the city and the few first glimpses the crowd got of the spry adolescent was that he was fashioned in decaying wear. The belt along his heaps and the leather around his neck looked worn and decayed, like it had been left to rot underwater for far too long. His hair was unkempt, with fangs that gleamed off the frigid sunlight, but it was his eyes.
Reptilian in nature, darting with a mischief and cunning that made the onlooking crowd shoot their stare downwards.

The stranger introduced themselves as Arkyn once council members flocked to see who this newcomer was, and explained they were an old … student of Anneli’s and was here to continue his “studies”. The way he spoke of Anneli made it feel less like a teacher/student relationship and more of a business transaction, and judging by the way some council members whispered that Anneli went pale at the sight of this mysterious teenager, some began to question what he had done.

The secret had come knocking and Arkyn flocked to Ragnar, learning rapidly under the young man’s command yet the glances still made a ripple of uncertainty echo palpably through the city.

What they didn’t know is that Arkyn was ageless. While his body physically grew with time, shifting to keep appearances to dissuade alarm, he had been alive and around far, far longer than Anneli or Asgard itself. He had travelled galaxies and worlds to even find where Anneli had hidden himself away, from an aquatic-fairing planet where he commanded the paranormal and living with a mysterious charm.

Like Davey Jones but a touch more wicked and dark.

He had found Anneli and Mani before their return to Asgard, with Mani having spent his whole life in Asgard it became apparent to Arkyn that anyone who strayed beyond Asgard’s borders were susceptible to rapid aging or disease from the outer worlds. Panicking and not wanting Mani to die alone in a strange and dangerous environment, Anneli had made a deal: extend Mani’s life long enough so he could die at home, with his family, and Arkyn could have Asgard in under a year’s time.

That time has since passed and the presence of Arkyn meant that Anneli’s, and Ragnar’s, days were numbered. To abide by his promise, and to the surprise of everyone, Anneli stripped Ragnar of his crowned prince role and declared Arkyn the apparent heir. Distrust and surprise rippled through the country. Ragnar had a popular charm to him that made him well known and well loved, with many deferring to him at times despite Anneli being the true crowned royal.

So to have a stranger … and one so young be the new prince?
Odd indeed.

Arkyn soothed the community by promising they’d still learn under Ragnar, and when it came time to take over the mantle, Ragnar would have his rightful title returned to him. To all eyes, Ragnar conceded to this, promising a confused nation that this was the best outcome.
Some whisper that at the announcement ceremony Ragnar looked … mutinous.
Arkyn looked … sickeningly thrilled…

And Anneli looked more terrified than he had ever been known to be …

What lies in store for Asgard once Arkyn takes over?

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 (ɪɢɴᴏʀᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ɴᴏᴡ)
𝐀𝐫𝐤𝐲𝐧 is my newly crowned king and is available for studding! His price is set at the minimum possible , but is subject to change as I improve upon his appearance.

Some rules (doing it in a RP/writing format to change it up):
𝐕𝐋𝐅 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 ; Arkyn seems perplexed by this. The cunning look they historically are known to wear seems to dissolve into one of confusion, their brow quirking as their facial expression twists into something pensive. They do a bit of a glance over, inspecting the individual in front of them, “I don’t see why this matters.” His voice is flat, bored almost. “Do you want me to make it better for you? Well, I can’t. I can do my absolute best to give ya … what ya want from me, I am known for my stamina if you get what I mean, but if you get too caught up in this or I feel it may even be a challenge for me then I expect somethin’ from ya in return.” He scoffs.

TLDR: VLF friendly! He and I will use as much as energy (reasonably) possible, but if I feel it’s becoming excessive (70 or more attempts) then I’ll likely ask you to provide some kind of boost to your gal or send me energy products! I also encourage you to have it revealed but it’s not required.


𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 ; “The seas don’t judge the value of your soul,” It’s a cryptic response to say the least, yet his stare is piercing and observant as he answers carefully. “And neither do I. I spent millennia on a rotted and haunted ship, do ya think I care who comes crawling to me for a warm bed?” For a second a devious and almost shrewd smirk flashes, but it’s gone before it can be totally deciphered.

TLDR; Arkyn himself is clean, but I don’t care if your gal is dirty! He also will breed to his daughters, granddaughters, etc. i also don’t care if your gal is clean!


𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 ; “You … you compete…?” If there had been any shrewd or mischievous look, it was gone now. Arkyn furrows his brows, head tilting and almost taking a small half step back. “Look ‘ere, YOU came to me. I was fine havin’ an even tormenting souls and collecting coin, but you came to my Captain— er, I guess this is a castle, my chambers or whatever and wanted to bed with me. If I’m what you’re wantin’, then stick with it. Indecisive? You know where to find me.” He seems agitated at the idiocy of the question, huffing to himself while muttering about stupid questions get stupid answers or something …

TLDR; please, please do not stud race! Arkyn is an active explorer and tends to drain energy, and I have a busy life outside of Lioden. however, i do make it a priority to check this as often as can and i PROMISE you: if i see you stud me, you’re the first thing i handle. the only cause for delay is if im waiting for their energy bar to refill. if you stud race more than once with me, i’ll block you and won’t allow you to stud to Arkyn or any future kings. it’s really upsetting to people do it and i think it’s silly imo.


𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐬 ; “Now you’re wantin’ my money.” The agitation from the last question carried itself over to this one, though it lacked bite to the response. In fact, there was a twinkle of humour and … respect? To the former Captain’s eyes. “Them reallllll shiny ones. Golden something another. I hear Asgardians call ‘em beetles? Yeah! Those!” Clapping, he sits taller and his movements become more excitable. You can take a pirate from the sea, but can’t take their love for treasure. “If you pass me a couple of those when I … accommodate to your desires, you’ll earn a free round the next time. And those stack, by the way. 5 or more of those slipped into my pocket and it’s whenever and however for you for as long as I’m here. Deal?”

TLDR; I do offer refunded studs! if you use the GB option, your next studding from me is free (just make sure you put it in your message). and as a loyalty bonus, the more times you use the GB option (5 or more) will earn ya unlimited free studding from me across ALL kings of mine (including Arkyn!)


𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐬 ; “Right. Yeah. Child support.” Energy deflates itself from their posture and they shift in place. “Euuugh… hmm… child support, yeah.” It’s clear in the way they drag out their words and continue to seem … sketch that there’s an obvious answer that they won’t give. “Yeah. No. Sorry but actually not. I know I’m a looker. I mean shit, have you SEEN me? Hot damn if I do say so myself. And while I hope my kids have half my charm and looks, it ain’t a guarantee. If you wanna chase ‘em or whatever, go for it. If you really must, you can send ‘em to me just … send me a crow first. On the other end, if you get any baddies from me who could be re next scourge of sea, snow, and spectre then tell me!”

TLDR; as much as i’d love for every litter of Arkyn’s to be cuties, i know it ain’t always gon be that way. that said, if you get potatoes you’re welcome to chase/abandon/kill/NR! if you don’t wanna do that, you can send em to me and i’ll pass my judgement and may be able to refurbish them to accommodate my pride’s aesthetics. also!! if you DO get any cute or noteworthy cubs then don’t be shy about sharing!! i do frequent checks to my kings litters to see what came of breedings but not frequent enough all the time.

Bought 11.07.24 for 5GB and 180 stats
Aged to adult 11.12.24 at 183 stats and finishing cub training over 75%
Originally wanted an “Owl Lady” meets “jungle pirate” vibe and instead went and kept my Asgard lore (lived in arctic climates on a different world) but blended it with the OG concept
Arkyn in lore is an immortal shapeshifter who shifts their appearance to age differently so they lose suspicion. they make deals that are binding and contractual and usually at the loss of the other party. deals with paranormal souls, spirits, and demons and used to live somewhere that was predominantly warmer, had more jungles, beaches, and lots of open water. his main housing was a decaying and eerie ship that both the living and dead worked on. loved to travel and explore to make deals and damn people to giving him artifacts or riches in return.
Anneli was his most prosperous deal thus far as he now has control over an entire kingdom.
Arkyn’s voice sounds like (blank) if you’re curious and his theme is (blank)
