Hello all,
I have been kicking around the below idea. I don't want to recreate the video game but I would like to use the rich roleplaying potential which was included in the backdrop of the Valkyrie Profile storyline. I am not sure however how to overcomes some major problems.
The Valkyrie is a central figure (which could be a DM player character but that is such a red flag...). To sweeten the Valkyrie being the DM pc I could have it be
the healer for the group so that it would prevent the need of a PC fulfilling that role but it still seems sketchy.
Would love to hear some options.

Einherjar: Are the player characters of Midgard. They were offered a place in Odin's army after death and so are not exactly mortal. Einherjar were the cream of the crop before their deaths and so we will use the below array to reflect their perfected spiritual forms:
20, 18, 17, 15, 15 & 13
Your warrior will be
6th level however possess so many more skills than what a second tier character is capable of.
- Your character is dead (but can die again). Dying returns your character to the Valkyrie's talisman. You may be revived by a large expenditure of the Valkyrie's power or by finding a talisman of your character from their living days.
- Once per long rest Einherjar may earn all the advantages of a short rest, but take only ten minutes of rest/recuperation instead of an hour.
- Once per long rest Einherjar may perform a very special attack. Some call this attack a Divine Assault, and say that these attacks purifies the souls of mortals and allow them to renter the cycle cleansed of corruption. Whatever you name your attack it will follow the damage structure listed below:
Divine Assault (Soul Crush)
You can cause more damage to your enemy. When dealing damage to an opponent, you can use your reaction to expend an about of hit die that you choose. These hit die increase the damage you deal by an amount equal to five times the number of hit die.
1 Hit Die= 5 additional points of damage
2 Hit Die= 10 additional points of damage
3 Hit Die= 15 additional points of damage etc.
- Although powerful, your soul was never transmigrated to Valhalla so you do not possess all the powers of the Einherjar but time spent alongside the Valkyrie does seem to fortify your soul.

Einherjar are recruited through Spiritual Concentration through intense concentration the Valkyrie is able to sense the noteworthy souls of the valorous right before their deaths. What event led to your death? Why are you worthy to fight along side the gods at Ragnarok? How did you attract the attention of the Valkyrie?
Please make it epic.
