Odin Trygve Jotunn Tobison

Odin Trygve Jötunn Tobison is a citizen of the Valdic Union. Within those bounds, he is not only a citizen of Nyr Prosede, but was the first citizen of the town only preceded by the founder himself. Known for his colossal stature, origins intertwined with magic, and his altruistic endeavors across the continent. Standing at an impressive height of 8.5 meters, Odin is believed to have been born from a large, ancient tree in the Tobi forest that was mysteriously imbued with the magical energies of the spirits of the forest. After living in Nyr Prosede for a while, the heirless king of Jrunmore passed ownership of the land down to Odin, and Odin began expanding the miniscule island to better suit his giant stature. This did not come without controversy, but ultimately the project is progressing steadily. Also since inheriting Jrunmore, Odin witnessed some divine action including a whole island popping up from the seafloor, and stone becoming fertile ground and sprouting a whole forest right before his eyes. Due to a particular part of such events, he renamed Jrunmore to Nyr Jrunmore. Odin found a great pastime in terraforming, because his immense size, strength, and his ability to shift the shape of his body at will he can construct entire islands like a child constructing a sand castle.

=== Early life and origins ===
Odin's origins trace back to the Valdic Union’s land, specifically to the region of Nyr Prosede. Legends speak of a time millennia before the arrival of man when a powerful convergence of magical forces transformed a cluster of towering old trees into humanoid beings of immense size and strength. Named after the Norse god Odin and bearing the middle names Trygve (meaning trustworthy) and Jötunn (a nordic name for a race of giants), Odin Tobison quickly became a symbol of resilience and community spirit. The story goes that a tectonic event and severe volcanism was threatening to destroy the land the Valdic Union is built on today, so the forest spirits of the region poured their energy into the largest trees in all the land, the mystical and imposing Tobi forest, a landscape not unlike the Coastal Redwoods of earth. From these trees were born a race of half plant half man giants, ranging from 6 to 10 meters in height. With immeasurable strength and surprising agility, they worked together to stopped the lava flows wildfires and land slides from wiping out the forests and pulled the splitting continent back together. Since that time, they have served as great protectors of the nature in southern Eisraven. Unfortunately as time has worn on, many of Odin Tobison's brethren have died out, gone into hiding, or simply vanished. Today, Odin Trygve Jötunn Tobison is the only known representative of these forest guardians. Odin's race is known as the Fýrdsýr in valdic, roughly meaning son of the forest, however names such as Vörðr, Jötunn, or Trǫll being used is not unheard of.
=== Residence and lifestyle ===
For quite a while, Odin resided primarily in a modest logging settlement perched within the rugged mountainous highlands between Nyr Erðvald and Nyr Prosede. Despite his imposing size, he prefers a simple and solitary life close to nature. The shack serves as both a sanctuary and a base from which Odin conducts his logging and quarrying activities. By growing and harvesting trees like crops, he effectively saves the continent from deforestation by the developing nations in the region.
As of today, he lives in Jrunmore, where he was adopted into the royal family by LordFusion. One of his closest friends, Brennen Ulf became his right hand man and second in command. Since his acquiring of Jrunmore, much progress has been made. Odin Tobison has used his size strength and abilities to raise an island out of the sea to serve as his home, and where he may plan to transplant the Tobi forest from which he was born, giving it a home where it can live forever. It's likely a combination of Odin's strength and dedication that made the Jrunmore royals choose him as heir.
