Excalibur
Another name: Avalon
Full name: Excalibur Avalon
Official Description:
The Legendary and Holy Weapon (Sword) for only Hero. Used by King Arthur, The British King, in A.D. 12th Century before.
Real Description:
The spoiled and annoying weapon that no one, even his brother (Ragnarok Laevateinn) and his meister (King Arthur), can tolerate.
Note:
Actually, what Excalibur has written about himself is not false completely. However, it is not totally true as well. He hides the truth of the death of King Arthur.
There are two version for the story of King Arthur; One is that King Arthur is killed by his subordinate (One of The Knights of Round Table) (in written history); another is that he is poisoned (in the story written by Excalibur). But, actually he is died of sickness and anger.
** Let's assume that Excalibur is (maybe) ignorant of his own arrogance and annoyance; Basically, an arrogant and annoying person can't find himself arrogant and annoying.

Part 1. King Arthur
Character:
King Arthur
The noble British ruler in A.D. 12th Century, also Excalibur’s meister
---
Several years after Ragnarok left the home, King Arthur came to ask for a weapon to unite and rule the British Kingdom. Lady of the Lake offered Excalibur to him.
After having been given to King Arthur, he helped King Arthur a lot in uniting the British Kingdom and defeating the invaders, like Lucius, The Roman Emperor and Claudas, the Frankish king. So, even though the annoyance of Excalibur was just too hard to put up with, King Arthur had to put up with him just to have him as a weapon in order to unite the British in that time.
But, his health started to get worse due to the over-heavy workload (to unite and rule the Britsh), the anger (he had with Excalibur), the pressure (as many people put much faith on him as a ruler of British) and the uneasiness (he had that he might be betrayed by his knight).
After the death of King Arthur, Excalibur wrote the story of himself with King Arthur. **
** Of course, it is his version of the story
And, Excalibur is in his place, Avalon, forever (as no one can put up with him).
Excalibur doesn’t intend to admit that it is his fault that no one wants him. He is still waiting for someone who is hero (actually, just the one who can put up with him).
---
Anyone who wants to become a hero just pulls Excalibur out and agrees on his 1000 condition (luckily, it is not over 9 thousand). But, put up with his unstoppable snoozing also… So, it should be “the 1001 condition of Excalibur”
---
Part 2. Afterstory
By the way, actually Jeanne d’Arc (the national heroine of France in A.D. 15th century) and Napoleon Bonaparte (The Emperor of France in A.D. 19th century) had come to find Excalibur also. Being annoyed (Due to the condition requested by Excalibur) and made fun of by Excalibur (One is mocked as tomboy, another shorty), they just left.
That’s why he is not pulled out…

Ragnarok's background story
Ragnarok
Another name: Laevateinn (It is his first name, but long-forgotten)(but in the past, people calls him with that name)
Full Name: Ragnarok Laevateinn
Description and Summary:
The Dark Legendary Sword used by Loki before and the Dark Legendary Wand used by Lokia.
He is the brother of Excalibur.
He had the full name “Ragnarok Laevateinn”, but someone renamed him with just “Ragnarok” to control him easily (Spirited Away Reference, in case you couldn't get it).
---
Part 1. Loki, the one whose fate is quite similar to Ragnarok
Character:
Loki
Odin’s half and elder brother. They have the same father, but different mother. Their mothers, anyway, have died when they were still baby.
Odin
A king who has the blood of god (his mother is a god, Freya). Loki’s half and younger brother.
---
After Ragnarok had left his home, he became Loki’s weapon.
Due to the similarities between them, their minds are quite on the phase and understand each other quite well; they are elder sons who are not doted on by their parent and overshadowed by their younger brothers.
So, Ragnarok willingly cooperated with Loki to kill Odin and helped Loki get the power and become the King. Thus, the era “Ragnarok” started. **
** Ragnarok means “The Doomsday/Twilight of All God”, and coincidentally, Odin has the blood of god. So, the name of the era “Ragnarok” is not because of “Ragnarok” Laevateinn only, but also because of the death of a half god, Odin.
But, the action of Loki’s, well, made many people unhappy with him. Thus, Loki ended up being assassinated and Ragnarok was sealed.
Part 2. Lokia, a witch and also a witch hunter who is a descendant of Loki
Character
Lokia
A descendant of Loki
A talented witch, a princess-would-be** and a witch hunter
** If only Loki was not killed.
** But actually in another way, she is actually still a princess, as her mother is a queen of a Kingdom. (Her mother married to a King) But, she dislikes the monotone life of a princess.
Despite being a witch, she actually despises being a witch. But, because she has the talent as a witch, she doesn’t want to waste it(she can't take the talent off after all); she takes it as her destiny and decides to use it in another way. And so, she joins Witch-Hunting Clan (WHC) and help hunting witches.
She learns every (including offensive**) magic, except magic for only destructive purpose.
** Or else, how is she able to hunt witches down?
Witch-Hunting Clan (WHC)
Obviously, a clan that hunts witches
---
Many years later, Lokia, a descendant of Loki, went for an adventure. She has found and unsealed Ragnarok. She selfishly turned Ragnarok into a wand. **
**As a witch, wand is much easier to use than sword. Even though she doesn’t want to be a witch, she is still a witch after all; She can't deny the truth after all.
Ragnarok was not really willing to this, but he was unable to do something. Besides, after some days had passed and he had thought about it thoroughly, he found it unnecessary to argue over, as becoming a wand was not really as bad as he thought and he got used to the wand form. **
** Beggar can’t be a chooser… He knows it quite well.
** But if he can choose, he prefers sword form.
He is quite unhappy with his new master, Lokia, for not only being a wand.
Being a witch but hating witch and even hunting witch, Lokia is considered as a traitor and has become one of the main enemies for the witches. Besides, Lokia is too kind and naïve, so she is always being made use of. Thus, they are always gotten in trouble and disadvantage. **
** However, Ragnarok doesn’t really dislike Lokia. In fact, he has been in love with her. (And, actually Lokia loves him also.) There is a thin line between hate and love, huh?
---
The WHC, however, had collapsed. The leader of the clan is killed. Lokia is forced to run away.
But, betrayed by Ragnarok, she has been found by Medusa, and killed. **
** If you prefer Ragnarok being a bad guy, then reading till here is already enough.
But…
** Actually it is what’s in Ragnarok’s memory, as he is brainwashed.
Because of being brainwashed, he has forgotten his first name, Laevateinn.
Maybe you will ask “Why is Medusa bother doing this?” Actually it is to make Ragnarok have this wrong memory; He willingly betrays his master, Lokia and thus, he can’t put the blame on her for Lokia’s death. She want to erase Ragnarok's conscience and make Ragnarok a demon who loves and enjoys killing.
But, Medusa is not afraid of being backstabbed by Ragnarok?
Actually, Medusa has made a pact with him, so Ragnarok can't betray her.
---
The True Story…
---
The WHC, however, had collapsed. The leader of the clan is killed. Lokia is forced to run away.
But, betrayed by a spy in WHC, she has been found by Medusa, and defeated.
Medusa intends to kill her, but Ragnarok has stopped Medusa. Unfortunately, Ragnarok was knocked out and end up being brainwashed and sealed.

Weapon Memento: HD twins(Holy-Dark, not high definition); Ragnarok and Excalibur
Once upon a time, two legendary weapons, Ragnarok and Excalibur, were made by two nameless swordsmiths. **
** Well, those two swordsmiths went missing and they were unseen by anyone after having handed the two weapons to Lady of the Lake. The reason behind that is, well, unknown.
** A rumor suggested that they were called “Gang Jiang” and “Mo Ye”, the famous swordsmiths couple in China in the past. *** It is remained unproven, however.
*** More info about “Gang Jiang” and “Mo Ye”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gan_Jiang_and_Mo_Ye
** Another rumor suggested that Ragnarok and Excalibur were actually the children of Lady of the Lake. It is remained unproven, also. Only heaven knows the answer…
Thus, actually they were brothers (and twins).
Even though Ragnarok and Excalibur were adopted by Lady of the Lake in the same time, she liked only Excalibur, as Excalibur is holy-type weapon, whereas Ragnarok is dark-type weapon. **
** It is believe that “dark” is devil-related and brings creepy and hopeless feeling to people, whereas “holy” is equal to “light” that brings hope to people. So, many people dislike “dark” and like “holy”.
** Summarised, in most people's mindset, dark is evil and light is good.
Neglected and even disliked by his mother, Ragnarok started to do many things, like playing pranks, bullying (and even hitting and abusing) Excalibur, to get attentions.
But, it backfired; Lady of the Lake disliked him more and more.
Sometime, even though Excalibur was being annoying and Ragnarok just intended to teach him lesson, Lady of the Lake would just scold Ragnarok.
Excalibur ended up becoming an annoying spoiled brat.
Ragnarok could no longer tolerate it. Thus, he left home.
