Name: Thorred Arfastsson

Age: 32​






  • wE49r01.png


    Strengths-

    Strong

    Master melee fighter

    Charismatic

    Intelligent

    Weakness-

    Straight Forward

    Unmerciful

    Lack of Trust(Can't easily truth others)

    Paranoid

    Bio-

    Thorred Arfastsson was born to a large farming family. Despite living in a hostile and unforgiving, Thorred's father, Int Arfastsson was just as unforgiving and harsh, and under his supervision, their farm flourished. When he was 14, Thorred took his first life when bandits attacked the farm in the middle of the night. Sleeping at the time, he was awoken by the sound of screaming from his mother, and rushing into his parents room, found a man strangling his father in his bed, while another tried to rape his mother. Grabbing his fathers sword near the door, Thorred charged the man holding his father, cutting off his hand, then stabbing the blade into the mans chest. The bandits companion, stunned, was then killed as his father leaped across the bed, strangling the man to death.

    Thinking that the end of the families plight, they tried to return to normal life, but that was not to be the case. Riders entered the farm, bearing the colors of the lord in the area. Apparently, one of the bandits had been his brother, and so the lord demanded that the killer of his blood pay for his actions. Int stepped forward, taking the blame for both deaths, before Thorred could speak. In a swift movement, the two riders on either side of the lord drew back their bows, and fired two arrows into Int. Crumbling from the impact, Int hit the ground hard, while the lord watched with a cruel smile on his face. Turning to his party, he had them set fire to the farm, and as it burned, turned and rode off. Trying to get his mother to leave with him, Thorred couldn't get her to move, and had to leave her as he fled the inferno. Taking his fathers sword as his own, he swore he would become a lord himself, so that he could take his revenge against his families killer. Joining a longboat crew heading out to plunder, Thorred served for years becoming a seasoned warrior, and slowly began to gain the loyalty of other warriors. This day, he continues his quest for vengeance.

    • Unrelenting Devotion to the one true God .

Name: Oleg



Age



(14+) 23



Appearance



(Real Picture or GIF only)



reenactors-dressed-as-a-vikings-hold-flaming-torches-as-they-welcome-picture-id463485470



Strengths



Ambitious: He has a thirst for power



Smart: Quick of mind



Navigator: He can tell when it is about to storm just from the air and can row with the best of them



Weaknesses



Reputation for Sliminess: Word has tainted his reputation



Miserly: No god would ever accept such a stingy man into heaven



Unlikable: A very punchable face



Personality



He is a quick man, in both brain and whims. He thirsts for power whenever he can, no matter the moral issue one might take up with him. He is an unsettling sort, while your tides are rising his smiles will bring comfort to you, but with your collapse he will be the first to kick you in the chest. He is never rude in person, stinging insults are best traded when the other party can’t stab you in the chest. Still, you should be weary of him and his sliminess.



Bio



Oleg’s father was a Danish fisherman, they owned but a single boat with a small hull meant for fish. When his father died, Oleg took his boat and sailed across Jylland selling fish and cattle. He gathered up wealth to buy a Knarr and soon he travelled between the Kievan Rus and Visby regularly. He would go to Visby and buy a boat load of fish before sailing east to Novogrod where he would sell his fish in exchange for Byzantine goods, then Oleg would sell the Byzantine’s goods at Visby.



By 816 he had gotten exceedingly wealthy and had bought four knarr and a large longboat to defend his small fleet. He began developing a thirst for power, returning to Denmark in 816 to support the failing Jutland army from the invading Emperor Louis. He gathered a small crowd of supporters and allies in court, but was removed from power in 819 when Harald Klak took power. Exiled from his homeland, Oleg has gathered his fleet to meet up with the new western Earl.



Occupation



Merchant



Ambitions



Fortune, prestige, and the ability to go back to Denmark

Name- Hakim Amjad


Age- 30


Picture- <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_06/image.jpeg.fcd7f548d6c6b06141ac3136be6204b9.jpeg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="131890" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_06/image.jpeg.fcd7f548d6c6b06141ac3136be6204b9.jpeg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Strengths-
Quick-witted, Persuasive, Trained with weaponry, devout, learned Norse language


Weaknesses- Opposed to violence, somewhat disgusted by norse culture (diplomatic penalty), can be boring


Personality- Hakim is an extremely diplomatic man who always prefers the strength of the word over that of the sword. He is a normally very serious and enjoys talking to others. Hakim is normally disgusted by the "barbarian" cultures of northern and Eastern Europe. This earns him distrust among the locals.


Bio- Hakim was born to a moderately wealthy Bedouin family in modern-day Spain near the city of Seville. He lived with his mother, father, older brother and younger sister. Hakim and his brother shared a very close bond and often played together in the spainish countryside. His mother didn't work, but his father was a merchant that was often absent on business ventures. During Hakim's teen years, he had no interest in religious matters, but in fact joined the army with his brother. They fought the ever-looming threat of the Franks in the Pyrenees, along with the Austricans in the north of Al-Aanalus. During a campagin in Austurican lands, Hakim was shot through the leg with a crossbow bolt whilst sieging a fort, wearing him for the rest of his life and forcing him to be forced out of the military. Soon, word reached him that his brother had died in action. This event crushed Hakim, he took to the streets and became a lowly beggar. That was until a Imam showed him the light of God. Hakim vigorously studied religion under this man until, he died, in which Hakim inherited the mosque and became its Imam. After a few years of a peaceful life, Imam caught word of the various barbarian tribes of Northern Europe, and is now on a missions to correct their barbaric way of life.


Occupation- Former solider, now Imam


Ambition- To spread the word of Allah to these northern savages

Name: Crag Hack (Real name: Jared Hatchet)


Age



29


Appearance



crag-hacktcm1911694.jpg



Strengths



Two handed Axe


Hand to Hand Fighting


Sailing Ships


Weaknesses



Not very good with a sword, he can use a hammer...last resort really


He ain't the brightest crayon in the toolshed, but what he lacks in intelligence he tries to make up for in instinct and street smarts


Diplomacy? That's a knee slapper. Crag has no idea how to be a Diplomat. His diplomacy: Surrender, and I'll let you live.


Personality



Very friendly to everyone but his enemies. He typically holds feuds longer then they should last, but is steadfastly loyal to his friends. He respects actions over words, and typically resorts to a crashing blow from a huge right hand or a slice with his war axe then talking it out. When he fights, he uses persuasion and reason (that's what he named his fists), and often brags about his brawn. He is always down for a friendly brawl or a drinking contest.





Bio



Jared Hatchet originally became a cabin boy at age 5, and grew to know everything there is to know about ship maintenance and sailing. Not only that, but his entire life here has taught him great sportsmanship and has given him great strength, though his manners are a bit lacking. He learned to throw and swing axes that rival many great warriors, and can fist fight till the day's end (not to mention drink to the day's end). He became a great sailor and a great fighter, and eventually led a mutiny against his former captain on a smaller ship. He gave someone else the Captain title, and went down to first mate so he could practice being a part of the crew before he could really take on leadership.


Occupation



He really has none, he spends his life hoarding money for new axes and new armor, though he really just wants adventure, and a purpose in life.


Ambitions



He wants a purpose, all the shiniest and most powerful Axes and Armor (and ships for that matter). He always loves collecting fine alcohol, and has a small desire to start a family of his own.
