I'm using Mythology as a base for my characters. Fenrir for example, is viewed by most as a monster who will kill Odin, All-Father of the Norse Pantheon. Loki and Fenrir's point of view would show what THEY think though.
I agree quite a bit with the Loki and the second being Fenrir, but I'll wait for others to vote.
And the midgard serpent?
Actually MagusKnight, you may have wanted to look up Midgard first.
Midgard is an old Germanic name for our world, the places inhabited by humans, with the literal meaning "middle enclosure".
This name is attested in many ancient Germanic languages. It occurs in Old Norse literature as Miðgarðr. In Old High German poem Muspilli it appears as Mittilagart. The Gothic form Midjungards is attested in Luke's Gospel as a translation of the word "earth". The word is present in Old English epic and poetry as Middangeard; later transformed to Middellærd or Mittelerde ("Middle-earth") in Middle English literature. "Middle-earth" is usually avoided in modern English, as it has strong associations with J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastic "legendarium".
The role-playing game Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation features Midgar, a divided city where the human population inhabits different enclosed sections all meeting at a central hub, which is clearly a nod to the Norse mythos. Another city is Nibelheim, apparently taken from the Norse realm of Niflheim. At the nearby swamp resides the Midgar Zolom, a giant serpent, referencing the Midgard Serpent.
*applause*
Man, now I'm interested in Norse mythology.
And, to point out on the drug use thing, many ancient civilizations used hallucinagens to "contact the gods/spirits".
A good example is the use of Peyote in many Native American tribes. Another one is the Greeks using cypress leaves(not 100% on it).
Lost Requiem, LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU!!
Now vote, PLEASE? I just really need a point of view, a second one, and a rating!

As FF7 is my favorite for it's charactures and monsters, I never considered that with the serpent when I first fought it, and that was a tough battle to do back then -_-
I agree with Loki being the first POV and then maybe the next really effected one (Hel, Jo or Fenrir).
As for the ratings go, Teen would fit the best, but I would think there to be SOME adult things, but I may be wrong about that.
Also, another game series uses Norse Mythology as it's feature too, the Tales series namely Tales of Symphonia and Phantasia that I know of. (Ex: The mana tree is named Yggdrasil, which is the same name as the great tree mentioned in the other.)
Oh that's wonderful. And my times up, so the votes are tallied aaaand:
POV#1: Loki, Trickster God of Fire.
POV#2: Fenrisulfr, Misunderstood Monster Prophesied to Devour the All-Father, Odin.
Rating: Teen (Some Adult Situations).

ADULT! I WANT TO SEE HAWT SERPENT SEX!
Jk jk! Loki would work but Loki's a rather...dumb character to be the view point, I'd suggest Fenrisulfr.
Oh you'll see both of their points of views. Not to worry. Lol, serpent sex! GIANT serpent sex. Wow, who the hell do I pair Jo (Jörmundandr's nickname) with?
THOR!
Lol, Yaoi God Sex/Bestiality!? AHHHH!! Thank goodness its teen rated!
Oh comon! That'd be fricken' hot!
