Ruler of **Asgard**, the **Æsir**, the **Vanir**, and the **Nine Realms**, **Simon Reinhardt** is one of the more significant **successors** within the Pantheons.

## Personality

Simon, by his own words, describes himself as "logistically intelligent to the point of fundamental social failure", which in laymen's terms simply means he is intrinsically extremely book smart. Often found reading ancient Norse manuscripts and scrolls, Simon drive for his developing knowledge is often his main priority for larger goals. This often holds him back socially, as it took him a long time to accept others genuine affection.

However, this does not mean he has no social awareness. He had a strong emotional awareness, however normally lacks the concepts to resolve emotional problems. This has slowly improved with the help of his pantheon, teaching him the values of vulnerability and emotional openness.

## Appearance

Simon is a fairly tall, handsome individual, although he'd never say so himself. Despite his general lack of knowledge on beauty and style, he keeps himself well dressed and professional, a remnant of his mortal life as the son of a prestigious school's headmaster. His dark brown hair, once kept quite short and well kept, has not been grown out slightly and styled, by his girlfriend's request. Ever since his dominion over the **Odinforce** increased, his blue eyes are now luminous due to the excess magic escaping, a feature he often complains about due to its "increased difficulty to stealth".

While not unfit before his ascension to godhood, Simon was fairly thin before his intense training in Asgard, since then building a fair amount of muscle mass.

**Kanri:** First introduced as his personal guard, as she was to Odin, Simon was dismissive to Kanri at first, not seeing the need for her abilities. However, the two grew close as she started developing feelings for him. While initially dismissive of his own feelings, eventually Simon admitted that he did feel an attraction towards her, however was nervous to engaging in his feelings due to his lack of experience with such close relationships, citing it as not wanting to fail, however he simply didn't want to harm her.

As of Sword of Freyr, Simon is planning on asking her to marry him.

**Margaret Winchester:** Introduced to the Queen of the Vanir during a shaky between between the Æsir and the Vanir, Simon and Margaret got along after determining they were not a threat to either's kingdoms. Simon developed a mild crush on the Queen due to seemingly lack of his own qualities in leadership, however he considered her a better ruler. His crush turned to a simple friendship and respect as the war against the Giants continued, as he was only attracted to her through his curiosity of her ruling abilities.

#### Friends

**Eira Thornston:** His best friend, Eira was the first to try to connect with the icy leader in the beginning, wanting to break through his hard shell to find the person underneath. She helps him rule Asgard as an unofficial Queen.

**Margaret Winchester**: After getting over his minor crush, Simon got close to Margaret as they bonded over the troubles of leadership, growing close enough to unite the Vanir and the Æsir for the first time in millennia.

**Yang Li:** As the guardian of Asgard, Simon naturally had a close connection with Yang, leading to a mutual respect for one another.

**Henry McLoughlin**: While rocky at first, Simon came to respect the aggressive but strong abilities of the successor of **Týr.** While at first wanting to simply execute and get rid of Henry after his confession to the murder of the goddess **Iðunn**, he was convinced by Eira and Margaret otherwise.

**Briar Kennedy:** Initially cold towards Briar for her seemingly more adapt way of using magic, Simon grew to have a respectful relationship towards the successor of Loki, using her sneaky abilities as an effective scout while allowing her a level of freedom not given to the other successors.

#### Companions

**Sleipnir**: A steed not given to him until after the defeat of Surtr, Simon grew very close with the eight-legged horse and used him as his personal steed like his predecessor.

#### Family

**Clyde Wellmont**: Simon both holds a respect and bitterness towards his adoptive father, as he understands the lengths he went to ensure he was raised smartly in the Academy, however he still wishes he was more of a parental figure towards him secretly.

**Kai Delmar:** As of Sword of Freyr, Simon is still unaware Kai is alive and a successor, or even he has a twin brother.

#### Gods and Goddesses

**Odin:** Simon and Odin had a strictly professional relationship, as both understood the god would pass and did not want to grow attached to one another. Simon held nothing but respect for the god, however he understood Odin's past decisions may not have been the best for the other gods.

**Thor:** Simon and Thor held a friendly relationship, even so much were the thunder god would follow his orders as if Simon was Odin. Thor often gave advice to the young man, wanting to push him in a direction to make him better then his father.

## History

Simon was born to Anthony and Celeste Delmar along with his twin brother Kai, however the birth killed his mother. Not knowing what to do and struck with grief over his deceased wife, Anthony separated his children, bringing Kai to his brother and leaving Simon at the doorstep of his great-uncle, one Clyde Wellmont. Simon grew up with his great-uncle, however unaware of his blood relationship to him. He eventually took on the last name Reinhardt after reading a fantasy novel with a character sharing the same last name. He was raised in a environment where only the smartest succeeded, the prestigious Archon Academy. He grew up shamed by his peers as an orphan, as Wellmont rarely had the time to properly be a parent to him. This seeded bitterness in his heart, leading him to rely only on himself and push back against utilizing others, leading to a distrust of others abilities and a strong superiority complex

## Gods Rising: Ragnarök

Being chosen by Odin was one of the best things to happen to Simon, as he felt he was perfect for the task. This confidence waned as he found being a leader and a king much more then simple organization and power, however Thor's successor Eira came to his support, chipping away his icy layers of distrust to help lead with him, taking upon the more social aspects to leadership as Simon took care of the more menial and (to him, arguably more important) tasks. When he wasn't dealing with being the King of Asgard, Simon almost excessively trained to increase both his magical and physical abilities, knowing the Æsir are a group of warriors. His one-sided magical rivalry with Briar Kennedy fueled most of his magical training, as he couldn't handle not being the best.

Simon oversaw many of the most important moments during the beginnings of the Norse successors to the defeat of Surtr, being on of three to slay the fire giant. He was one to wield the gauntlet to hold the wolf Fenrir while he was rebound, leading the gauntlet to be fuse to his right hand permanently.

## Gods Rising: Titanomancy

Simon appears briefly in Titanomancy when Sky Taranis comes to the The Duat for a meeting between the head gods of various pantheons. He gives advice to her about some conflicts between her successors and being a leader.
