Ragnarok is actually based on Norse Myths : True!!!!

QuoteIn the begining

In the begining the fiery realm of Muspell in the south and the wintry realm of Niflheim at the North. In between was an empty space called the Ginnungagap. Where the heat and cold met, a giant, Ymir, was vreated, who was the father of humans and giants. Next a cow called Audhumla came into being, whose milk fed Ymir. As the cow licked the salty ice of Niflheim, a man came forth, who was Buri.
  Buri had a son called Bor, who was the father of the god Odin. Odin and his two brothers killed Ymir and created the world with his body. From Ymirs blood they made the seas, from his skin the land, from his bones and teeth the rocks. From Ymirs skull they made the vault of the sky, which was supported by four dwarves--- Austri, Vestri, Sudri, and Nordri.
   The three sons of Bor also created the first man and woman, from two logs they foung on the seashore. The first god gave them life, the next conciousness, and the third senses. From this man called Ask, and the woman Embla, are descended human race.
   The world in Norse mythology is a flat circle surrounded by the ocean. There are three realms,Asgard (home of gods), Rune-Migards( Realms of humans), Niflheim (Land of the dead) The abodes of gods and human are connected by the rainbow-bridge Biforst, gaurded by god heimdall.
    At the center of all three realms is a ash tree call the "Yggdrasil"

This is just the begginging, i will continue next time.  8)

Valkyrie Profile... I just loved it. But as the name of RO suggests (Ragnarok Online) it is Norse mythology. Ragnarok was a Norse version of Judgement Day afterall. You guys can read more on Wikipedia.

Minkyu

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Did u guys no tat the name ragnarok is the name of a war that leads to the end of the world? "Ragnarok... The death and rebirth of the Yggdrasil and Migards..."  ::)
