discripe your character!

[black heart]

well, to all who are playing in the upcomeing rune game, i'd like to hear a discription of your character, liek how he/she looks, acts, weapon of choice, home land, maybe a backround story, and basic skill array


my character (these are plans and can change when i actually make the character)

heroffin (hair-of-en), the scottsman

he uses two longswords, pretty basic.

he's a loud-mouth who's always jokeing, although the jokes are almost always bad, he thinks he the best there is and will laugh at you is you think otherwise, he thinks most people are scared of him when he walks into a tavern but theyre most likely laughing at his red hair and kilt.

he's not too smart, and because of his accent, most people have trubble understanding him, but he's pretty good with his swords even though your not ment to use two swords of this size (Ull's "with eather hand" gift)

and i haven't decided on what skills and abilitys he'll have

Great thread topic. Actually all I want from anyone who dosen't care to do a background story is a name, physical description, starting location and some sort of personality devoloped.

Haldor Thorgrimson was born the only son of a farmer. As a farmer's son Haldor didn't have the easiest time growing up. Haldor constantly found himself in fights with other children and especially the children of the wealthy Jarls. This continued to get Haldor into constant trouble until he was thirteen.

A small group of warriors making their way to a temple of Thor up in the mountains stopped in the village where Haldor lived. Haldor's parents offered to allow these warriors to stay with them for the night and they agreed. The next morning as the warriors set off to leave news spread of a fight going on at the edge of the village. The warriors rushed off to see what was going on and found Haldor fighting five boys twice his size.

Haldor took down the five boys in a brutal fight that left him bruised and bloody. His left arm and two ribs were also broken in the fight. The warriors were impressed with Haldor's strength and willpower. With permission from Haldor's father the warriors were going to take Haldor with them to have Haldor trained as a temple guardian. This pleased Haldor's father greatly and once Haldor's injuries healed well enough for him to travel he set off.

Haldor trained hard over the next three years until he heard that his village was being attacked by invaders from the South. He rushed home to find it burning. Many of the village warriors had been defeated but they pushed back the invaders. The attack had cosseted Haldor's mother her life and Haldor's father suffered a severe leg injury that would leave him with a lip for the rest of his life. Being unable to do anything Haldor returned to the temple to resume his duties.

Over the next three years Haldor became a strong and respected temple guardian. When not fighting Haldor studied in the temple learning from the priests. During the time Haldor was at the temple not only his village was attacked but his entire country was overrun by the beardless invaders from the South. The ones that called themselves "Romans"

With trouble heading their way the priests chose a couple of warriors to go out and seek help to defend the temple. Haldor was among these warriors and set off in his quest to find those that would defend the temple.

well, the "back story" of heroffin is that he got bored of liveing in scott-land and is traveling the world in search of adventure, wentchs, and of coarse, trying differant kinds of hopps, ales, meeds, and all other forms of drink that make you stink!

My character is named Arnor Haraldsson and will be from Greenland. He just finished training in his village which is very small and in one of the coldest parts of Greenland on the coast. He is very well adapted to fighting in extreme weather conditions especially cold weather. He knows what it takes to push his body to the extremes in the most difficult situations. His father Harald was second in command of the towns defenses. He usues axes as a primary weapon but will never turn down swords or hammers even.

Basically Fenris' campaign will start as soon as he finishes his training and prepares to gather his belongings to leave in search of adventure.

Also on my characters personality. He will always go out for adventure to avoid boredom. Being that his village is in a very remote area, there isn't much to do, so going off to fight is simply something to do that he enjoys. He'll always take adventure rather than sitting around, but won't rush foolishly into battle. He prefers to think things through and develop some sort of an attack plan, then he'll go into battle. In the field of battle he is very serious and calm, but outside battle he is very much an excited person who likes to experiment and make many jokes about people, usually making fun of them, but always appologizing afterwards explaining he was only trying to lighten up the mood.

In regards to my characters appearance:
He generally goes light/medium on the armor so as to be able to move around easier and rarely will wear his armor off the field as he finds it very uncomfortable. He has dark brown hair and a beard that is tied into three separate strands that hang from his chin. He is about 5' 10" and has pretty pale skin based on his home climate. He tends to dress according to the environment he is in, and as such, has several different outfits to wear outside battle. So far he has no battle scars to speak of being that he really has never been in a very serious fight. Hope that helps some.

I'm afraid my character's background, personality and even name are still works in progress (that is, haven't been decided yet). All I've got right now is a basic character concept. My as-yet-anonymous protagonist will be a blacksmith-turned-warrior, largely untested on the battlefield but pretty sure he can handle the weapons he makes. Of course, he's most familiar and comfortable with hammers, but he's created more than his fair share of swords and axes on his anvil, so he's at least passingly familiar with them.

I need to fix it up before making it public. But you already know the basic idea.

[Kain]

Modified my post to add the physical description of Arnor. If you want better details just let me know.
