The Blood Eagle, a brutal Viking Age inspired, alternate history roleplay.

[Everblight]

I believe so, although I've recently joined and the GM hasn't posted since.

[DamageOverTime]

I'm almost done with mine.

[CottomodoDragon]

So many characters! This makes me so happy. Can't wait to great GM's responses to all of these well made, interesting examples of Viking badassery.

[DamageOverTime]

Oh by the way. I'm going to do an islander so I need to talk with the chieftain. If we have one that is.

[Everblight]

At first I thought this was a semi-Nation RP which I guess it was but not as much as I thought so my CS is quite angled towards the clan rather than my character. I can change it if you like to be more Kagan-centric. But I'm actually quite glad it's more single character based. Cant' wait to start now!

I hope he hasn't given up. His last post was 2 days ago.

[TimasheTiger]

I'll need to have a word with him. Honestly he seemed to have given up on the idea before it even started so I kind of need to kick his ass into gear.

[CottomodoDragon]

Do it. I love all of the characters we have going on here.

[The Imagination]

Woah shit okay, i'm reading the CS'es now. Just had my first day of work today so I kinda side tracked. I'll get back to you guys once I'm done reading over them and making sure they're okay.

Yes, we do still have room for two or three more people. I am reserving a spot for someone, soooo really just 1-2 spots open for everyone else.

Aaand Islander character? I am a bit confused by that. I'll have to hear what your idea is.

[Everblight]

Congrats on getting the job!

[The Imagination]

Hmm...

Okay, Timashe and Cottomodo are accepted.

@El Tigre; Everything checks out I suppose, but what do you plan on doing with the jarl character she serves under? Making him a NPC or would you like me to control him?

@Everblight; Hmm, considering Österland's description, i'll allow you to be in a position where you and your men see you as king, but other kings and jarls may or may not dispute that claim (or even choose to acknowledge it.) Either way, I suppose I could give you more warriors under your command than a Jarl might have, but less warriors than other kings. Sorta in the middle ground, I suppose?

"Some of these clans are not quite home to the best warriors that the northlands have to offer,"
Just keep that in mind. Your warriors will have more endurance than others, and maybe even more strength, but they wont be as skilled.

Oh, and warhammers are known as late medieval era inventions, to my knowledge. I'd prefer you picked something else.

[DamageOverTime]

Island I meant peninsula. Do we have a chieftain for that yet?

Oh and spears are generally universal and allowed right?

[The Imagination]

We have another huscarl from the Jutland Peninsula, they seem to have made a jarl npc-ish character? Regardless, if no one else takes the place of Danish King I will make a character for that.

Edit; Yes, spears are fine. (I forgot to include them in the favored weapon section.)

[DamageOverTime]

Mmkay.

[Everblight]

Yeah that's fine, I intended it to be more self appointed king and not recognized by the others. His aim is to make others recognize haha. On the warriors that's fine, as long as my men are equal with others I'm happy.

Aww I was happy with my Hammer, made him like Thor :P is a two handed Axe alright then? although I know a couple of others already have that, or prehaps two large but single handed axes like in my picture?

I was leaving it open for someone to either want to make a Jarl Character that Svana could serve under or making him an NPC that you and I could puppet lol

P.S. About the War Hammer.. Since this is an Alternate History RP would it matter if the War Hammer is out of date? As long as we aren't running around with black powder guns I personally don't see the problem.... But alas I am not the GM and that decision falls in your lap :) Just thought I might offer my two cents :)

[The Imagination]

Hrmmm grumble grumble so many two handed weapon berserkers. lolomfgwtfbbq

But seriously on a serious note of seriousness, I guess I'll allow the warhammer. In this alternate universe maybe vikings invented warhammers on account of Thor's myth.

[Everblight]

Cool, thanks.

And thanks Tigre :)

The Power of friendship...

[CasedaAmpora]

Ugggghhhhh so hard to think up a proper, non-shitty background for my character...and a name...and a homeland...
>_<

[DamageOverTime]

Name: Floki Thidrandason

Appearance: Floki stands at 6 feet tall, weighs around 150-160 lbs, and is 20. His brown slightly wavy hair barely reaches the nape of his neck. His face holds and easy smile that's meshes nicely with the sharp lines of his face and his clear, wood-brown eyes. His body has a lean and tawny build that conceals the underlying of muscle tone underneath.

Title: Huscarl

Interests: Fame and Fortune and Thrill in Battle

Favored Weapon: Spear

Homeland: Jutland Peninsula

Brief History: Floki was practically raised in his fathers barracks and the old man gave no quarter or special treatment to his only son who at the time hadn't even dropped his balls yet. The boy had to earn his keep or be tossed to the wolves in the wild as was their families way which he completely understood, though, it didn't stop him from hating it any less. Floki's father saw potential in few and when he did he liked to collect those that interested him. Even his own son was not above that stipulation for attention other wise he would have been but a stranger to his spawn. Never the less, Floki's talents where apparent even at a young age. The old man often left to join some battle, skirmish, or gathering leaving his son to the hard labors of the instructors to make sure he didn't slack off which he was easily prone.

After returning from some higher-ups order to annihilate a band of raiders stealing our cattle, killing, and the like. He returned with a girl covered nearly head to toe in dried blood. After quipping something a one of his huscarls Floki walked up to him joked about the girl to be too young for an old geezer like him which earned him a stiff fist that left him leaking and dizzy. He remarked that she would be joining his training regiment which lead to no ends of protest from the boy about how he had to train with girl of all things and her place was to serve not to fight as he was taught, but they went on deaf ears and so started his life with the girl named Svana.

As years past his technique, ferocity, and silver-tongue improved untold proportions as did Svana's; the only person now that can have a bout with Floki. Mush to his younger dismay she kept up with him with the aim to please his father in some way. Accepting her talent they became friends and soon I was rare that either of them where to far apart and not once have both of them been punished for some slight of hand or foul deed initiated by Floki. Though make no mistake that she got him back and equal amount. Their game of "Who can do better..." grew as they did mostly on the battlefield where each would tally how many foes slain. Their distinguishable ability gained them the rank of Huscarl even though every one knew it would only be used to woo the servant girls pick fights at taverns and such though Svana's more orderly nature balances her flamboyant one. Now as Huscarls their game still continues.
