Seagloom

Deep beneath the chill’ed depths Here, where night ever-reigns In this abyss my spirit seeks For you, Mistress of Brine and Chains. Let that I claim be guarded My ambition knows no mercy In your wake my wealth is garnered And that I cherish, I keep safely.

Deep within the still’ed dark Here, where-lies the ocean’s kin In this void my spirit seeks For you, Keeper of Dream and Dim. Let that I wish be hidden Lay undiscovered in the light A steed of stealth to be ridden Such is your gift to me, Grand Night

Seel Rán! Seel Nótt!

Like my work? Maybe buy me a mead

Some Notes On He Who Crashes Like Waves

Don’t mind me, these are some quick notes on a Jotun that I am simply refering to as He Who Crashes Like Waves for the time being. I might come back to this again at some point and write it all up into something a little more proper. But for now, I just want to jot down some notes about him before I forget about any of the information I received from him about him.

He Who Crashes Like Waves is one of three members of a German Jotnar Symphonic Death Folk Metal band Iran across and spent some time with a couple or even a few months ago (I honestly don’t remember the exact time since I met them last).

Why German? Because the bassist of the metal trio, who is a half human, half jotun from Helheim, has some German roots from the human side of his family, and since he was the founder of the band, the other two members decided to adopt the human language to go along with the feel and the theme of their band.

He Who Crashes Like Waves himself is a type of marine and undersea Jotun that specifically worships Ran as their people’s primary deity, refering to her as Mother of the Depths. Respect is given to her husband but his people only seem to worship Ran to the eclusion of any other god or goddess.

His kind of Jotnar are only one specific species among many that dwells underneath the seas of the nine worlds.

His people look something like a somewhat humanoid cross between a shark, a lizard, and a salamander.

He Who Crashes Like Waves stands somewhere between nine and eleven feet tall, though I can not get any kind of exact measurement on him as he is constantly crouched or squatting to not tower over his other band members.

His body is longish and stout, though also appearing kind of sleek in a way.

He has some kind of blue-green colored skin that is somewhere either between or a mix of aqua blue and sea foam green.

He also has largeglowing eyes, with the glowing part of it being able to change color and be projected to a distance, giving him his own unique light show.

His face looks mostly like that of a somewhat humanoid lizard, with long jagged teeth. He has countless rows of teeth, with new teeth popping up to replace old ones that were broken or discarded.

Making jewelry out of the broken or shed teeth is a huge and important part of their culture. His people present necklaces made from both these discarded teeth, as well as prised pieces of correl, to be gifted to someone that they intend to mate with for life.

He also has long claws on both his hands and feet, though the spaces between the digits are webbed in nature.

He has a single somewhat large fin on the top of his head instead of hair, feathers, or anything else similar enough. He has a much larger fin on his back, with smaller fin like protrusions on his elbows and knees.

He tends to wear skin tight clothing that looks either like latex or that of a swim suit. He prefers darker colors of green, blue, purple, and black.

He has a long tail with a fin at the end of it. His tail is flexible enough to move and bend it in any way he likes.

His drum set consists mostly of pieces he has fashioned from the scrap metal from sunken ships.

When he was younger, he used to work at one of Ran’s nets, helping with the task of dragging people down to their watery doom. While he doesn’t know Ran on a personal level, his family has served her since she was young and they were a new family.

He saved up enough money and earned enough honor to take enough of the scrap metal from the ships that are Ran’s treasure to fashion into his drum kit.

besides drums, he also plays other percussion insturments, such as rattles and rainsticks fashioned from re-purposed driftwood and filled with shed teeth, correl, and other such things.

He Who Crashes Like Waves has a very unique style of drumming. It is very fast paced, very high energy focused, and very fluid. He moves like a martial artist and incorperates water in all it’s forms into his drumming as well.

While a little more laid back than the typical drummer, He Who Crashes Like Waves has a fierce side of himself that is relentless and demanding. He pours all of his energy and his passion into his drumming.

He is a very calculating, percise, and perceptive person.
