There. Got my ~~fancy letters~~

Came up with this character over the summer, but...technically I didn't come up with him at all. For those unfamiliar, Hodr is a character from Norse mythology. He's the blind brother of Baldur, god of perfectness, and the one story he shows up in involves him accidentally (or purposefully, depending on the version) killing said brother by being tricked into shooting a holly arrow at him by Loki. And then he dies. 10/10 storyline.

So while I was away over the summer, a friend of mine got really into talking about norse mythology with someone (mostly Loki myths, because he's the modern fav). And while she was going over the classic Baldur Dies myth, I was just thinking...
"Wow, Hodr's life kinda sucks".
Like really, imagine being blind, the sibling to someone universally considered the epitome of perfection, accidentally killing that sibling, then being killed for killing that sibling, and the guy who actually caused it gets away with it for years (again, depending on the version. I'm going with the Overly Sarcastic Productions telling , who if you haven't checked out yet WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE GO WATCH THEIR STUFF). So while I was away, I came up with my own very poorly thought out storyline based around all this.

I have a few other designs at this point been meaning to post them but haven't because whoops, namely Baldur, Loki, Thor, Freya (she isn't actually important to the story yet but I wanted to draw her sooo), and Odin (more of a w.i.p. for him though). The story takes place thousands of years after Baldur's death, but it's still pretty fresh in this guy's mind. I know I mentioned that he dies multiple times in this shortnotreally summary, but god dammit, if Marvel can completely change around mythological characters then so can I.

Anyways, yeah. Hodr. Sad, edgy, slightly traumatized Hodr. New-ish group of ocs. Why do I have so many ican'tdothis
I actually finished this drawing like a month ago but forgot to post it
