Coolio

[pandapolio]

1) Did I got to much on backstory?
2) What is the year? Like more exact.
Aka is this pre or post Chalamagne?

[LordLinguinie]

Work in progress but this is the basic idea of my character.

Ivar

Name: Ivar Belgr
Appearance:

My Hider

Personality: Often stoic and quiet, Ivar is pretty laid back most of the time. He is kind to those he trusts and will often sabotage those who get on his bad side. He is patient and meticulous, Ivar prefers to have a plan of action rather than a headfirst approach. Ivar loves ale probably more than anyone he knows, and is often drunk at the worst times, though through the years, he's become a semi-functional drunk, only stumbling and vomiting when he's had too much.
Backstory: Ivar was raised by hunters, and grew up in hunters lodges. He could knock an arrow before he could even run. He got his first kill on a 4 day long hunt in woods. Their camp had been raided in the night by a boar, eating most of their gathered berries and nuts. In order to have enough food for the trek back, they would have to find the animal that had taken their food. When Ivar saw the arrow connect with the boar's eye, and watched as it collapsed lifeless, he felt almost pity for the animal, though that feeling would soon fade. He helped skin and roast the boar that night, a proper feast for a boy's first kill. Ivar has spent most of his life in the woods hunting and tracking the wildlife that inhabit it. He has mastered his longbow and is capable of nailing a doe in the eye at just over 35 yards (32 meters). He has all the essential skills to live in the wild, though he would rather not as staying in the woods is always a sleepless night.
Equipment: Long Bow, Quiver/with 30 arrows, hand crafted arrow heads, carving knife, whetstone
Skills: Archery, Hunting, Tracking, Skinning/Tanning, Arrow crafting, Herbalist, Fisherman

@pandapolio

1) It's the perfect amount of backstory, I love it, though I do have one problem though it is a bit nit picky, The Varangian Guard doesn't exist yet, instead of being a VG you can be a Mercenary who worked under the byzantine's if you want, it's practically the same thing but with a name change.

2) Post-Charlemagne, the year this takes place in is 793 AD, where a viking raid burned the church of Lindisfarne and started the viking age.
The people we play as are those vikings

Also you mentioned a count in your backstory, I thought it would be cool if instead of the count who ruined Harek's raid, it would be King Richeard of Northumbria, a Sadistic Anglo-Saxon King with a love of snake pits, instead of him being dead he would still be alive and well, this way you could have a cool revenge plot. though this is your choice, you can keep it the same if you want.

@LordLinguinie I love it!.

[pandapolio]

@Warborn123 That sounds great and I will make the changes. Thanks

[TheWildBunnii]

Hiya!

[pandapolio]

@Warborn123 I have changed my cs, what do you think?

[Warborn123]

@pandapolio It's great!

[Drakey]

Actually guys, I'm already overextending myself a bit too much. As this RP hasn't officially started I would like to back out of it.

[Winterwake]

@Warborn123@Sirkaithethird How long/many players are we looking for in total before we get this ship sailing?

[BlackBishop]

[Sirkaithethird]

Just so everyone knows this weekend i will be in a small town whe the only Available wifi is McDonald's. I'll only be able to post 1-2 a day. If at all

[pandapolio]

How veteran would you guys say your characters are? I just want to know if there will be 1 or 2 that will still be in the learning stage of being a raider. If it isn't too much for me to ask that is.

@pandapolio

I have 15 raids/missions under my belt, with training as a young man also.

[LordLinguinie]

Ivar has never been on an actual raid, but he knows how to handle combat, though he prefers to sit back at a distance with a bow and provide support.
