Joseph Nathan Fenris was born into a well known family of geniuses -- because well, his mother was an Edison, and everyone knows the Edison name. While he was raised around scientists, mathematicians, and professors, Joseph took his little pleasures when he could get them. He'd try to find a way to make everything a game as much as possible, and the more he hung around his family, the more he became more interested in the intricacies that came with being an Edison. Almost all of the family were closed off from others, but Joseph didn't want to be like that. He wanted a social life, he wanted friends, he wanted to be known for who he was and not just his name. Of course, this was hurt by the fact that his parents wanted him home schooled, but Joseph did his best to rebel. It was odd to be the type of kid that snuck out of the house to go to public school and make friends, but that was exactly what Joseph did. Teachers and fellow students alike thought it was amusing that he was so desperate to make friends and learn from other people that somehow, he managed to get a small group of friends. So for a long time, Joseph would sneak out, go to school, come home before his parents did, and then just keep on learning with them. It worked for a while, until it came time to apply for colleges, and while his parents didn't think he was ready to do so at age 16, Joseph presented them with his high school diploma that he got after skipping a few grades from a high test level.
Other than be amused and proud of their son for looking to further his education, his parents were pissed, and grounded him for six months while they figured out what to do. And when Joseph was cut off from all ways of the world, he started to create his own games, his own riddles to keep himself occupied while essentially being held prisoner. He started to manipulate anything he could to try to get himself a fresh outlook on things, and when he finally was allowed out for one day because of his 'good behavior', he had already gotten a backup plan set in place enough that he could escape the house and never look back. With help from a friend, Joseph packed everything he needed into a little duffel bag, tossed it out the back window to his friend, and while Joseph kept his parents occupied in telling them where he'd go and when he'd be home, his friend threw all of Joseph's things into a car. Joseph walked down the street, got into his friend's car, and never looked back.
After a few months, Joseph was able to get himself legally separated from his parents, and was given access to his vast wealth of trust fund money and other bonds given to him since he was a child. Now completely on his own, he did what any now 17 year old kid would do with all that money and no parents to hold him back...he applied to ivy league colleges. Okay, so he wasn't the typical kid, but he never really wanted to be. He learned the hard way that his desire to try to be accepted as normal wasn't always going to work out for him, and so he wasn't going to keep trying. So Joseph applied to Yale University and got in, and at first entered the University as an undecided student. What he ended up with was a Bachelors of Science in Political Science and a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and Mathematics. Because what better way to find a way to combine his love of mysteries and puzzles than to go into political science and computer science? He could learn to see what made criminals tick, and then learn about what made technology tick. It was, to him, the perfect combination.
It proved to work out pretty well, and the young socially awkward Joseph was able to find some solace in a group of friends that seemed to be just as socially awkward as he was. He had found friends to call his own, and he had started to grow passionate about his own cases and the like as well. As soon as Joseph graduated, he decided to go into law, because that seemed to be the ultimate puzzle of all, and so that was just the way he went. A Juris Doctor from New York University later, Joseph found himself looking for jobs he could do. While he could go and be a lawyer, that wasn't particularly interesting to him -- it was more that he had found it to be a challenge and wanted to prove that he could do it, and then he did. But being in New York was growing old, and with his family every now and then trying to contact him or take money from him, he decided it was time to move. So with applications out and accepted with Harvard Law, Joseph packed up his things and moved to Boston, Massachusetts.
Boston and Harvard proved to be good for Joseph, and he found a new life and a fresh outlook there. He found it easier to change his personality and blend into things as he could -- so he did what he could to make friends and find ways to get along with others. As he finished school in 2003, he immediately applied for Boston University, but this time in a different capacity: he wanted to be a College Professor. Because what better way to give back than mold the future minds of America? So Joseph Fenris became Professor Fenris and entered the Criminal Justice department as one of their faculty members. Ever since 2004, Joseph has been a part of the Boston University campus and staff and he hasn't wanted to change his career at all since he started there.
Of course, getting in with Boston University and getting tenure was easy, but there were things that he wished he could change. He was getting bored slightly, and he needed to change it up. When the police department came to him asking if he'd help out with a case, Joseph had found his new calling. Helping solve the case and putting his degrees to really good work, Joseph found something that could challenge him. And so, he started to do some trainings, and decided to become a private detective himself. It gave him a challenge and it gave him a new sense of purpose. He left Boston University in 2010, and has been a private detective ever since.
Deciding that he needed to relocate, he found himself in a new location, setting up shop. Midgard Investigations was started, finding the name amusing for what he was trying to do -- he always did kind of view himself as a god, so why not? And as he got more confident in his job, he got more confident in who he was as a person as well. So this meant his confidence just exploded in that he was out there more, became a bit more of a cad, but underneath it all had a decent heart. He tries his best to get along with and please everyone in his personal life to the best of his abilities. Doesn't mean that he ever actually succeeds in doing that, but he tries and that's what matters.
He's got a pretty decent caseload now, knowing that he's good to go for a while, and when he's not working, he gets himself into a little trouble with poker, ladies, drinking, and ladies. He tries his best to keep an upbeat attitude, especially considering most of his cases could bring out the depressive side in him, and he thinks he's doing an okay job...so far.

Fandral is a strong and brave Asgardian who is a part of the Warriors Three and a good friend to Thor. He's fought in countless battles alongside Hogun, Volstagg and the rest of the Asgardians to preserve and protect Asgard. Fandral could be described as vain, proud of what could be considered unusually good looks and along with his charm, contributes to his reputation as a ladies man. Although a certain past event in which Fandral knew a deep and lengthy love with a mortal woman of who he spent close to a century with before she passed on due to old age may contribute to his shallow outlook on love in the modern era. Besides his looks, Fandral is also known for his skills in swordsmanship and bravery. Fandral, along with the other Asgardians, was thought to have been killed after the events of Ragnarok. The Asgardians, however, ended up being trapped inside the bodies of people around the world. After Thor's rebirth, he went looking for the other Asgardians in order to restore Asgard in the city of Oklahoma. He visited Africa and was able to find Fandral, hidden in the mortal guise of a man named Trevor Newly, from London. He restored Fandral to his rightful form, as well as Volstagg and Hogun, rounding off the Warrior's Three. After the exile of Thor from Asgard, the Warriors Three decided to also go on some of their own adventures around the earth, meeting and interacting with various humans. (More Info)
