If you have questions, feel free to ask them there.

Also note that though the form has a lot of categories, the answers themselves can be very short. The goal is to cover a lot of important information but the forms should be quick to fill out! βββββββββ

Name: Gunnar Bjornson Title or alias: Ulvekriger / Wolf warrior Rank/Job: Warrior and Blacksmith
Age: 26 years old Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual
Build/Body type: Gunnar is a tall man, standing at around 6ft 3in. He has broad shoulders, a lean and attractively muscled body. He is very tanned and has strong, calloused hands due to sailing, fighting, and blacksmithing. Hair style and color: long, light brown braided ponytail with the sides shaved clean, ponytail tied in several places with pieces of rope. Facial features: A strong, sturdy, defined jawline, a few scars, blue eyes, and a medium length beard tied together with some string, the sides shaved shorter. Clothing/armor: Usually consisting of a thick linen shirt of varying colors, matching trousers, woven leather armor, sometimes a thick brown bear fur cloak that came from a bear he killed on his brutal quest to test himself, and during battle a layer of chainmail under his leather armor. Weapons: A hand-and-a-half sword, with a wide blade, the pommel is a wolf head with the jaws clamped on a large golden orange citrine gemstone. The sword was forged by himself, being forged by the finest and strongest metals Gunnar could find, and is called SΓ₯rklΓΈvr (Wound cleaver) which hangs on one hip. Thereβs ancient runes etched length ways along both sides of the beautiful blade. The blade was forged by two different types of metal, making it Damascus Steel. The curved crossguard, hilt and pommel are a somewhat dark bronze in color and are decorated with red rubies, golden orange citrine gemstones, and white sapphire gemstones that are embedded in it, spread out evenly. The tribal designs on both sides of the crossguard and the wolf head pommel were made with a gold inlay to stand out more. He also has a large dagger that is fastened near his sword, and a short axe that hangs on the other hip. He is also very adept with a spear. His shield has a dark grey colored wolf painted on it, with a white background. It has a strong iron boss in the middle, and a thick strap of metal on the outside edge to strengthen it. Miscellaneous notes (tattoos, piercings, etc): He has a few tattoo's on his body in various places, MjΓΆlnir, Thorβs Hammer, on his left shoulder, Aegishjalmer, the symbol of protection, on his right shoulder, and the Valknut, the symbol of Odin, in the middle of his chest. He also has other symbols and runes branded and tattooed in various places. Wears white face paint during battles and raids. The face paint design is a symmetrical thick white horizontal line starting from right in front of his ear to the side of his nose, right below his eye, then sharply turning down and trailing into his beard. He has an extremely large black and grey colored pet Eurasian wolf that is almost always by his side, even in battles, named Bjomolf, loosely translated into Bear Wolf, since he's so massive.
Three strengths: Loyal, strategic, charismatic Three flaws: Slightly short temper, stubborn, slow to forgive Most persistent dream: Standing at the helm of a longship, staring out west at the ocean as a pair of ravens continuously circle him overhead while a fierce wind blows from behind him.
Family: None yet (open for suggestions) Romantic interest(s): None yet History: Born in Denmark to a farming family. His parents were murdered by a Saxon when he was just barely a teen. Gunnar decided to avenge his parents loss and went on a quest to become the best warrior there was and make the Saxonβs pay. One winter, he went on a brutal quest to test and strengthen himself. He went out into the mountainous wilderness to fend for himself for the entire winter. He lived alone in the brutal blizzards, hunted his own food, fought off savage wild animals, as well as fought against a band off murderous Viking thieves intent on taking what he owned. Over the years, Gunnar slowly rose to fame as an accomplished and deadly warrior, and people started making rumors that he was blessed by the gods and cannot be defeated. Those rumors only served to further increase his fame and reputation. As the years went on, he slowly felt a rising ambition to become an Earl and conquer England and other lands. One night, Gunnar had a dream of a beautifully crafted sword dripping in blood, leaning against a throne, and a dark silhouette of a man sitting atop the throne. When he woke, he immediately started forging the blade, believing it was a sign from the gods.
Name: Halvar Ivarson Title or alias: None Rank/Job: Warrior and Farmer
Age: 31 years old Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual

Facial features: He has dark brown eyes and a massive scar that stretches from his left temple to the bottom of his right cheek that he got from a sword during a battle. Long dark brown beard braided into two braids. Clothing/armor: Halvar usually wears a black linen shirt, black Brigandine armor and black padded pants. Weapons: He primarily uses his massive battle axe, the wooden handle is made out of strong dark colored wood, and part of it is wrapped in leather for a better grip, though he also uses a spear and a dagger that he has hanging in a sheath on his hip. Halvar has a shield that is painted half red, half black. Miscellaneous notes (tattoos, piercings, etc): None
Three strengths: Fearless, fierce, dedicated Three flaws: Quick to anger, reckless, cruel Most persistent dream: Him standing with his axe dripping in blood, a burning village in the background with people running around and screaming in horror.
Family: None Romantic interest(s): None History: Halvar was born in Sweden. Growing up, he always had a reputation for starting fights, ever since he was a very little kid. He was a violent boy, and as he grew older, so did his thirst for violence. He got so violent, that he was exiled from not just one Viking clans, but two. The reason for that was for killing a couple people, but lacking proof that it was in self defense.
Name: Idan Title or alias: None Rank/Job: Warrior and Hunter
Age: 19 years old Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual
Build/Body type: Idan is around average height, standing at 5ft 9in. Heβs got a lean, athletic build, and slightly tanned skin.

He also has an Ulfberht sword that hangs on his right hip, and a large knife on his left hip that he uses for both skinning animals and in battle. He has a round wooden shield that is painted half while, half blue. Miscellaneous notes (tattoos, piercings, etc): He has matching black tribal tattoos on both shoulders, upper arms, and chest. He wears a black face paint design during raids and battles. Its a symmetrical line that covers his eye and trails down along his neck.
Three strengths: Loyal, brave, kindhearted Three flaws: Overprotective, wary, blunt Most persistent dream: Stranded in a frozen wasteland, being chased down by a pack of wolves. Right before they catch him though, he always wakes up.
Family: Idunn is his younger sister. Romantic interest(s): None yet History: Born in Norway but traveled to the settlement at the age of fourteen, so England is his home. At a very young age, Idan was a very good shot with a bow, impressing the most skilled of archers with his skill. Growing up, Idan and Idunn always did everything together, taking care of each other when they werenβt with their parents. Idan decided to take up hunting instead of the family tradition of fishing for that reason, if the two of them were stranded by themselves they would have a better chance of survival if they could fish AND hunt. However he still enjoyed fishing, many great memories involved him fishing with his sister.

Age: 23 years. Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual

Usually kept short to avoid becoming distracting in battle. Has cornflower blue eyes. Facial features: A strong face with a hard jawline. He has big eyebrows but a scar on the right side of his face cuts through his brow, over his cheekbone, and down his cheek. Clothing/armor: Cullyn often wears a plain linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, a pair of black leggings, and a belt that carries a sword on his left and an axe on his right. Weapons: He has a long sword and a small hand axe. Miscellaneous notes (tattoos, piercings, etc): Cullyn has many scars - one noticeably on his face, and many more on his body.
Three strengths: His brute strength, his wits, his loyalty. Three flaws: Fiery temper, rash, can be aloof to social cues.

Name: Seryan Title or alias: No title. Rank/Job: Tailor.
Age: 22 Gender: Female Sexuality: Bi

She is not built for fighting, but is flexible and agile. Hair style and color: Long, wavy brown hair that reaches down to her hips. As a tailor she finds more time for tending to her appearance than those training for the blade. She often experiments with different styles and ways of up-doing her hair, whether it is tied back, pinned half up, or let loose to have the waves and curls speak for themselves. Facial features: Seryan has a diamond shaped face and light green or hazel eyes. Just like she experiments with her hair, she also likes to touch up with makeup. She has dark eyelashes. Clothing/armor: Being a tailor, Seryan often wears many items of clothing that are unique to just herself. She will dress in summer dresses or loose linen clothing when relaxing, beautiful garments when trying to impress, and she has a few pieces of armor in the case of an attack (though she hardly feels confident doing anything related to battle). Weapons: Her choice of weapon, if needed, is a spear. Miscellaneous notes (tattoos, piercings, etc): One of her ears is pierced, with jewelry starting at the lobe and dazzling up the side of the ear cartilage.
Three strengths: Creative, joyful, has strong social skills. Three flaws: Physically weak, overzealous, once her trust is lost it is hard to regain. Most persistent dream: Seryan frequently has strange dreams that can be somewhat prophetic to her own life, but she never mentions it to anyone.

Now three haha
Name: Aberwyn Title or alias: His birthright is Aberwyn, but after his exile, he changed his name to Gweran. Rank/Job: He describes himself as a 'travelling seer that goes where evil is to ward it off'.
Age: 34 Gender: Male Sexuality: Not specified
Build/Body type: Gweran, or Gwerro, is a tall, thin man with bony broad shoulders, long arms, and fine fingers. Because of his stature he was never cut out for battle, so he entertained himself with the workings of a seer. Hair style and color: Gwerro has ashy brown hair that falls beautifully like feathers atop his head, inching down his neck. The hair sweeps over his forehead and brushes his eyes, so he frequently is seen pushing it back. Facial features: Gwerro has a certain kind of elvish beauty - strange at first, but oddly attractive to the eye. He has somewhat almond shaped eyes with dark lashes surrounding amber iris'. His jaw is defined and draws down the point of his chin. His mouth is a pale peach colour, thin but often smiling, displaying dimples on both cheeks. Clothing/armor: Gwerro often travels so his clothing is mostly worn, from his dark brown trousers to his loose fitting linen top. He wears a rabbit fur cloak in the winter, and black leather boots. Weapons: He avoids the blades as much as possible. His words are his weapon as much as his abilities as a seer. Miscellaneous notes (tattoos, piercings, etc): Apart from a small half-moon tattooed onto the nape of his neck, his skin is clear.
Three strengths: Deeply in touch with his spiritual abilities, intelligent, intriguing. Three flaws: Evil intentions, manipulative, narcissist. Most persistent dream: He often dreams of worldly events.
Family: If app. His father was Tanir the Bloodthirsty and his mother was Ursu. Romantic interest(s): If app. N/A History: If app. Born as Aberwyn, he was sickly child born to two great warriors. He was often left to his own devices and spent his time alone as the other children would bully him for being so frail. In was on his own he learned his seer abilities. Whilst a seer is often morally bound, he did not work this way. He only grew his darkness and obsessed over this ability that he had that none of the other children did. On the morn of a great battle, he waved farewell to his parents as they went to battle. The night before, he'd visioned their death in battle. Had he interfered he may have been able to save them. Instead, he said not a word. Eventually he was drawn near insane, and tried to attack one of his clan mates. He was cast out and took the name Gweran. There is little known about what happened after this.
