Every 1000 years, gods of every pantheon convene and hold a conference to decide the fate of humanity by calling a vote to determine whether or not the human race should continue living or go extinct. With the most recent of these conferences having concluded, the gods unanimously decided to put humanity to an end. However, at the very last second, the eldest of the Valkyries, accompanied by the youngest, intervened and made the bold proposition to let humanity have a say in their fate by letting them go against the gods in a series of one-on-one fights to see if they are worthy of continuing to exist. Afraid to let go of their pride, the gods accept this proposal. Thirteen gods will fight against thirteen human champions. The first side to reach seven victories will decide humanity’s fate.
Humans are one of the existing species in the world of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie.

Overview [ ]
Humans are native to Midgard and can be usually be found there. However, since the souls of the dead are brought to Valhalla by the Valkyries, they can also be found within Heaven. Humans can also be send to Hell if they break the laws of the gods, being Nostradamus the only human to ever be send to Helheim, for the crime of nearly destroying the Bifrost.
As beings created in the image of the gods, humans have a very similar appearance to their creators.
Origins and History [ ]
The current details of humanityβs origins are not explicit, but at one point (about 7.000.000 years before Ragnarok) in the Land of the Gods, one deity created two beings in his image to populate the Earth and rule over the animals, whom he named Adam and Eve. Sometime after this, a demon framed Eve as revenge for turning down his advances. In court, he falsely accused her of eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. Eve was ruled guilty and banished from the Garden of Eden, and Adam decided to go with her. After leaving heaven and going to Earth, Adam and Eve would live there and have many children, such as Cain and Abel.
From that point on, humanity’s history is almost identical to what is known in real life from historical science, as well as from various myths and religions.
Culture [ ]
Humanity’s culture is identical to real life, varying greatly depending on the location and time period.
Powers & Abilities [ ]
Golden Age: Once a human soul arrives at the afterlife, they will have the appearance that they had during their golden age: the age in which they were at their peak. This usually results in most human souls permanently having a youthful appearance and a healthy body.
Superhuman Physiology: Whilst most humans have very inferior physical abilities when compared to those of a god, some exceptional individuals have the power to compete against their creators. Some humans also have unique abilities, either through divine intervention (like Adam), through a rare medical condition (like Raiden) or through other methods.
Ascension to Godhood [ ]
It is possible for a human to become a god. This can be done through a variety of methods, such as drinking Ambrosia (like Heracles) or by reaching enlightenment (like Buddha).
Heracles is the Gods’ representative in the fourth round of Ragnarok, going against Jack the Ripper.
Heracles is a prominent deity in the Greek Pantheon, being the God of Fortitude. He is also one of the few divine beings, along with Buddha and the Valkyries, who are not in favor of ending Humanity. Heracles was formerly a human by the name of «Alcides» hailing from Ancient Greece and ascended to godhood by drinking the Ambrosia.

During the last moments of his life, instead of ending his match with a mutual kill, he hugged Jack with his remaining strength.

[7]

Even before he became a god, Heracles was able to survive a kick to the face from Ares, remaining unfazed from it. [8] After becoming a demigod, he was able to continue fighting Ares and his army despite sustaining significant wounds and injuries. [4] In the battle with Jack, even after being stabbed by countless knives, [9] [10] having his left arm cut off, [11] and having a divine building crash down on him, he still continued to fight. Furthermore, when activating «Herculean Exodus», a millimeter of the tattoo growth that results from it will cause even a natural god to feel immense and sharp pain, which in Heracles’ case, grew immensely. Despite that, Heracles didn’t even flinch, remaining calm. [12]
Indomitable Will: Heracles possessed a righteous soul and strong will even before he became a god. Even as a child, Heracles never gave into despair no matter how tough the situation was. He always fought at the vanguard and never backed down even if his opponent was a god. [13] He trained constantly since when he was a human, using hardships as a way to improve himself, in order to gain strength to protect the weak. [14] [15]
Club Proficiency: Heracles wields his divine club with godly skill and proficiency, as shown in his battle against Jack the Ripper, deflecting Jack’s barrage of knives effortlessly, [16] smashing Jack’s giant scissor into pieces effortlessly [6] and defeating the Vanguard of the Gods and Ares’s army. [3]
Techniques [ ]
Herculean Exodus: After finishing the 12 labors, Heracles was granted 12 divine techniques in exchange. Although these techniques are immensely powerful, each time he performed a technique, his tattoo would spread further across his body and cause an immense amount of pain. Should the tattoo spread across his whole body, he would die. [17]
First Labor, Nemean Lion: [18] The head of Heracles’ club turns into a roaring lion, which he smashes into the ground with tremendous force, creating an enormous shockwave that sent Jack the Ripper flying backwards and dislocated his shoulder. [19]

His hair grows to his lower back and he obtains characteristics of Cerberus such as sharp fangs, claws, fur (on his back), and a spiked collar. His tattoo becomes black and grows continuously, continuously draining his life force. [23] This technique provides a boost to his speed and power, as well as granting the ability to cut through objects from a distance of up to several meters, as if there were invisible giant claws attached to his hands. [24]
Great Hero Blow: [22] Heracles focuses his power in his right arm, enlarging it, and performs a powerful punch to his opponent with so much force it creates a gigantic crater. [7]
Equipment [ ]
Ambrosia: A red liquid that contains the blood of the god Zeus, the leader of the Greek Pantheon. Legend says that if consumed by a true Hero it would grant an eternal body. However, should anyone else drink from it, it would cause instant death. It was said that the hero Achilles gained his strength by drinking ambrosia. Alcides is another individual who drank ambrosia. After surviving the experience and being accepted as one of Zeus children, he became Heracles.
Club: A magical club that takes the form of a variety of animals, including a lion, an eagle, and a bull. Every time Heracles uses one of his 12 Labors techniques to change the form of his club, the tattoos on his body spread, bringing him closer to death.

[4]
Electrokinesis: [5] As the God of Thunder, Thor possesses absolute control over divine electricity and lightning and can use it in combat.

[7] However, some beings are immune to this power, LΓΌ Bu being a good example of this.
