Thorvid Varinsson
l.jpg
((Full Grown Thorvid))

Age: CURRENTLY 16

Date of Birth:
28/04

Gender:
Male

Appearance: (art)
As seen above, Thorvid is tall and stocky, however at the moment he is sixteen so he doesn't look exactly like that. Thorvid's hair is about to his shoulders, so not as long. His facial hair is kept short to his face, not a longer beard. However, Thorvid's icy blue eyes will hardly change over the next few years. Lightly bronzed, sun kissed skin with a few small scars here and there.

Height:
5'11
((Will mature at 6'2))

Weight:
180
((Will Mature at 240))

Hair Color:
Dark brown, wind blown locks that fall just to his shoulders

Eye Color:
Icy Blue

Skills:
+ Tracking
+ Blacksmithery
+ Swordsman
+Horsemanship
+/- Archery

Relationships/Family:
Father- Ingolf Varinsson
Mother- Valdis Varinsson
Younger Sister- Valkyrie Varinsson


Biography:

Thorvid grew up with his mother and father, and then his sister was born a few years later, 3 years later to be exact. Thorvid's father was a blacksmith and then later was moved up to a hunter/warrior for the village, his mother was a skilled archer and hunted for the village in her spare time when she wasn't tending to the house. Valdis, loved her children more than anything else in this world and she gave up a lot to spend as much time with them as she could. Ingolf was a harder man, very brute like and cold. However Ingolf loved his family and was not a stranger to showing how he feels for the ones he loves. Growing up, Thorvid spent lots of time with his father, learning the tips and tricks of hunting and learning to track his prey. Thorvid became rather good a tracking, more than his father even anticipated. In their spare time, Ingolf even decided to teach his son the wonders of being a blacksmith. Thorvid enjoyed metal working, it was calming to him yet it still built muscle and kept him moving. Finally when he was of age he began to train with the other adolescent people of the village. Thorvid is a very quiet young man so making friends was far and few between, he kept his eyes on the prize and that was to be the best he could.


Personality:

Thorvid has a very deep and husky, rough tone to it. It usually always makes him seem grumpy or cold. Thorvid is usually very serious, although he will poke fun and joke with a few people especially if he has had a few brews into him. Thorvid is a lover and a fighter, he would die for the things he loves. People tend to make his head hurt though so he likes the company of his horse, Tyr the most. Thorvid is either found at the blacksmith or at the training grounds, Thorvid takes his training very seriously and as a young man he would spend his free time working on his swordsmanship and his axe wielding the most. Archery wasn't Thorvid's best skill so he only uses a bow if absolutely necessary.

Name: Aldrnari Flaugun
Age: 14-15-ish; they don't keep track
Date of Birth: Somewhere in the summer months, when the ravens nest.
Gender: Nonbinary (female body that produces a bit too much testosterone for its own good)
Appearance:
(I'll draw them later)

Slim and lithe with little muscle, Aldrinari (often shortened to Arii so as to not be confused with the word aldrnari) is the definition of what many Vikings would describe as "weak". They are not weak, just not exactly good with powerful strikes. They're tall and storky, their legs making up most of their body to the point that if they leaned too far to the side, they'd grind their pelvis against rib.

Red—near black hair—is cut short to their neck and out of the way, framing brown eyes that flash gold in the light.

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 115lbs (Laughing turns to sobbing)
Hair Color: Near-black red
Eye Color: Brown-gold
Skills:

-Climbing and jumping (primarily things like trees, but rocks and houses are fine-ish, too. They're more likely to lose balance, though.)
-Training birds (their parents are falconers and Aldrnari was allowed to train some, as well)
-Fading into the background in social situations.
-Identification of birds (usually species, but they can reliably identify individuals they know)
-Utilization of rope-based weapons (though, this isn't as advanced as most of the other skills)

Relationships/Family:

Hoang Flaugun—Mother: A bit rocky, being honest. Ingrid is very outgoing and loud, causing Arii to shy away.

Rune Flaugun—Father: Steady, though distant. Both being quite cautious around people, including each other.

Biography:

Aldrnari was born in the warm summer months weak and quiet. Honestly, people didn't think they were going to survive. But, Arii is nothing if not stubborn, and they pushed through slowly. Unfortunately, they ended out skinny and delicate, often breaking bones and getting bruises.

They were shunned for being small, and in response, Arii started showing up less to gatherings and festivals. They spent more time training themself and their birds. More often than not, they could be found with a flock of large ravens, who could often mimic select words from them... though, more often than not, it was Aldrnari was the one who was mimicking.

When the time came for them to learn how to use a weapon, they chose a ropedart; a weapon their mother had used in her home country. They primarily used it for maneuverability, but can reliably hit things with it. Mostly, however, they trained others' falconry birds, kept them fed, and made sure they were in top shape. They can reliably identify species of birds from a distance and individuals they're familiar with.

(To be added to)

Personality:

Anxious and jumpy in the quiet, Aldrnari is very birdlike. If the birds aren't singing, they aren't talking. If the birds are comfortable, so are they. If their ravens don't like someone, it's best to leave before they decide you're a threat.

To people of their own clan, Arii is quiet and reserved, but generally helpful and occasionally witty, having a dry sense of humor that rarely shows itself outside of when they're interacting with birds. they aren't used to people treating them all that well, usually expecting them to be told—flatly—that they met the requirements before being dismissed. They're quite unfamiliar with extended social situations, as they can't pick up on human body language as well as birds, so they generally assume people are either mad or disappointed in them.

Conversely, Arii has very birdlike body language, which makes them seem very apathetic to other people. The best way to gauge their emotions is to listen to their tone of voice—which usually barely changes—or look at their arms, which tend to mimic bird wing gestures.

All in all, Aldrnari is paranoid, anxious, and confused.

Likes:
-Birds
-Summer
-Night time
-Feathers (they have an entire collection)
-Being warm
-Fish
-Fast-paced orchestral music


Dislikes:
-Social situations
-People hunting birds
-Incompetent bird owners
-Things their birds perceive as a threat
-Territorial disputes
-Cold weather
-The forest when quiet
-Being teased.

Equipment:
Two coldweather jackets.
Their rope dart
A large pack of bird treats
A falconry hood
Random shiny scraps of metal
A bone whistle


Other:
-They always teach the birds they train three out-of-the-ordinary commands. "Target", which tells the bird all future commands will go toward the target, "Swoop" distract the target by diving at the target, and "Seek" find this thing.

-They call the falconers in training "Eyeasses", just like they call their birds.
 
Name: Asfrid Solvidottir
Age: 14
Date of Birth: Born during the height of midsummer
Gender: Female
Appearance: (art)

8A7D7AA4-9D7D-4DA2-86ED-32243330D838.jpeg

Height: 5'6" (final height will be 5'8")
Weight: 166 lbs (final weight will be 181 lbs)
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Green
Skills: Herbalism, Archery, Hunting, Tracking, and Beast Taming
Relationships/Family:
Her adopted father, Moldof Solvidottir

8D8F96B8-368B-4811-BFF1-AD7EC6CDB37E.jpeg
Biography: Asfrid was found by her adopted father in the arms of a dead woman which he assumed was her deceased mother. Not being able to leave a crying baby on it's own, he brought it back to the village to raise. He had thought to give it to a family, but he kept coming by to visit and bring the little baby gifts until he relented and took the little tyke in himself. His wife and child had died three winters previous due to a sickness that had swept through the village and took out the sickly, old and young. Astrid didn't remember a time before her father, although she knew she had been found in the forests. She didn't care though, Moldof was her father, end of. He taught her from a young age how to take care of herself no matter where she might be, creating the fierce warrior Asfrid became. She does have her goofy side though, mostly though, she keeps to herself and her dyrewolf companion she was able to tame after taking care of it when it was injured. She called him Haff, after one of her first hunting partners.

5EC9DFC0-F607-40BF-BB4C-A8A822172733_4_5005_c.jpeg

Personality:
Asfrid is curious, determined, and intent on uncovering the mysteries of her world. As a child, she was rather disobedient and got annoyed by her adopted father's over protectiveness.

Asfrid is not good with people, the result of being raised by only the sourly Moldof for the first 14 years of her life and having little human interaction outside of her father. She is very blunt and sarcastic, never hesitating to tell people exactly what she thinks of them even when it wouldn't be wise to do so. She is especially shown to despise those who consider themselves better than others, and is disturbed by the behaviour of people that have no apparent moral compass. She is also rather impatient and has little tolerance for those who waste her time or dodge questions. At the same time, however, years of being surrounded by animals has made Asfrid compassionate and sympathetic towards others in need. Her benevolence is her greatest strength and has garnered the respect and trust of many who have interacted with her. However, there are limits to her empathy; mainly to those who double-cross her, betray her and/or hurt the ones she holds dear.

Asfrid has a strong relationship with Moldof, and living with only him around (as he is the main hunter for the tribe, being away for long periods of time with Asfrid in tow) she has little respect for laws, especially if they get in the way of what she believes to be right.

Likes: Training, tracking, playing with Haff, scouting, watching the sunset and exploring the forests.

Dislikes: Crowded places, rules, mornings, fish, liars

Equipment: She has a wooden bow made by Moldof for her thirteenth summer, a quiver of arrows, braided leather armor, brown and blue undergarments for when she wears the armor, and blue face paint reminiscent to Moldof's. When off duty, or when she is just lounging around, she usually wears traditional garments with her hair done up in braids.

Name: Hana Petrová
Age: 13
Date of Birth: 12/30
Gender: female
Appearance: (art)
1617237091672.png
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 98 lbs
Hair Color: copper
Eye Color: grey/green
Skills: wood splitting, axe wielding
1617237237024.png
Relationships/Family: Orphaned by a raid one year ago, Hana was taken in by her uncle's family, her uncle Jon Petrová who shows little interest for his new ward. His wife, Inga treats her coldly and shows favoritism towards her two sons. Her cousins, Gils and Edgil are 15 and 16 and love mocking her and poking fun at her.
Biography: Hana had two loving parents, her father Hundolfr and mother Svala. Her parents acted as partners on the battlefield which ultimately led to their deaths. Hundolfr's brother, and Hana's "onkel" Jon is a detached man with little more than absentminded affection for his new ward and niebling. Hana hoped her new aunt would brush her hair and teach her shield forms but instead she often finds disapproving coldness. Her aunt ensures she gets less food than her sons and is always given fewer things. (1 blanket to their 4) Her cousins are worse, taunting her about her family and pushing her around. Gils is 14 and likes to throw rocks at her and put mice in her bed. Edgil is 15 and often corners her for 'training' where he beats her with a stick. That is, until she learns to keep her own stick on her. When she's set to chop wood she begins carrying an axe around with her and the boys, now 15 and 16, stop bothering her except on occasion.
Personality: Hana is opportunistic, if given half a chance she'll take it. She's fiercely defensive and tends to hoard what she gets and has a strong attachment to physical objects. She can be a little aggressive with other children but is desperate for friends. She is a very loyal friend to a fault.
Likes: shiny things, woodcarvings, spring flowers, axes.
Dislikes: manual labor, teasing, her aunt, thieves, cold.
Equipment: a little bracelet with wooden beads, a gift from her parents. Her trusty wood splitting axe, simple clothes, a single blanket, two furs, medicine pouch with assorted nonmedicinal dead leaves.

Name: Yrsa Thorvald
Age: 16
Date of Birth: 3/14
Gender: Nonbinary
644460.jpg

Height: 5'8"
Weight: 152 lbs
Hair Color: brown
Eye Color: brown
Skills: smithing, weapon knowledge, unarmed combat (wrestling), cooking
4de82811f901dc3c63e366aed09b8be3.jpg

Relationships/Family: Her father, Njal, is a blacksmith who only ever wanted a son. Her mother, Estrid, is a quiet but head strong woman. Bo (actually female), a bear she found as a cub 9 years ago whose mother had been killed presumably by hunters.
Biography: Yrsa's parents who wanted a son, ended up raising Them as a boy. They grew up a mostly normal life, running around and getting into unnecessary trouble, learning how to fight and use the forge with their father, and helping cook with their mother. When they were just 7 years old they were exploring the nearby wilds when they found a bear cub, shielded by the corpse of it's mother. Yrsa rushed back home and gather food before returning to the cub to lure it back to their home. Once back Yrsa showed it off to their parents, Njal and Estrid, who begrudgingly allowed it to stay as Yrsa's "pet". As Yrsa grew up obviously the façade of being a son quickly faded away once puberty hit but Yrsa decided to maintained a more androgynous look favoring armor with a more masculine silhouette and keeping their hair chopped short.
Personality: Yrsa is a headstrong individual who is rarely deterred once their mind is set on something. They're brave and loyal to a fault. There isn't much in this world that can stir fear in them. When it comes to friends Yrsa wants to develop a strong sense of camaraderie and will protect those they consider friends no matter what. Yrsa is also quite passionate and does not often hide any of their feelings.
Likes: Bo, exploring, wrestling, working the forge with their father
Dislikes: extended periods of silence, anyone who threatens their friends, betrayal, dishonesty
Equipment: seax, leather and chainmail armor, fur cloak, single handed sword, shield, Necklace, Clothes

Name:
Halfdan Aldersson

Name meaning:
Halfdan (half-dane)
Aldersson (Son of Alder)

Age:
16

Date of Birth:
6/5

Gender:
Male

Appearance:
Compared to his other northern kin Halfdan stands at a shorter statutes (both in adolescence and adulthood). While Halfdan takes mostly after his Norse father does take some foreign features after his mother such as her eyes and olive skin, as well as his straight Greek-like nose.

Height:
5'6 (5'9 matured)

Weight:
140 Lbs

Hair Color:
Blonde

Eye Color:
Dark brown

Skills:
Sailing, fencing, starmapping, reading and writing , fishing, bilingual (knows some of his mother's native tounge)

Relationships/Family:
Alder Bjornsson (father, deceased)
Alexia Bjornsson (mother, deceased)

Biography:
Alder Bjornsson was an anomaly in Norandgar, he was an adventurer at heart. A trader and a sailor in a village of warriors. He focused on what's outside of the village then the village itself. An explorer to some or a nutcase to others Aldern would dissapear for years on end before showing up with exotic goods and stories of far away lands. One of these "goods" was a wife and a child, his wife Alexi originated from a land far south of Norandgar (A land similar to Greece/byzantium) and the newborn son.

Halfdans childhood was an odd one seeing as he was half viking. While he wasn't outed as a foreigner Halfdan could tell some of his peers saw him in a different way. Still Halfdan was enamored with his father's stories of foreign lands, fighting the high seas and crossing blades with the best around the world. He would idolize his father and take every step to be just like him. Halfdan learned all he could from his father, Sailing, swordplay, how to use a Sunstone, how to survive on the ocean and some other thing such as using the stars to navigate.

Though he didn't get to learn everything from his father as Alder felt the itch for adventure one last time. Alder and Alexis set out to sea in search of new lands and adventure, Halfdan stayed home as he was only 8 at the time, but he still patiently waited for his parents to come home. One year passed, then another and Halfdan began to lose hope that his parents wouldn't come back hoping that they died a valiant death and gone to Valhalla rather than being caught in Rán's net.

Personality:
Halfdan sees himself more of an intellectual among the vikings of Norandgar, much like his father Halfdan is more interested about the outside world than his own village. He dreams of seeing the vast stone cities full of culture and technology, a far cry when compared to his fellow drunked-meathead viking kin. This can make Halfdan look blunt or cold to his surrounding but there still exists Alder's swashbuckling spirit in him, even though it's diminished somewhat after the death of his parents. Halfdan still jumps up and gets excited at the thought of leaving Norandgar.

Likes:
Sailing
Reading
Getting the hel out of Norandgar
Swimming
Fishing

Dislikes:
Cold weather
Chewy meat
Mead
Meatheads
Being called short

Equipment:
A standard saex attached to the back of his belt.
A curved sword originating from his mother's homeland, a bit awkward to use but Halfdan is getting used to its unique fighting style
