My interest can be short lived. Slow moving stories do not last long with me.

### Played by MCHoskins
Name: Erik 'Sunderskull' Jordahl
Age: 29
Brief Description: Erik's scarred face and beaten features make him appear a fair bit older than he actually is. His hair hangs past his shoulder in a thick, brown heap and his beard is braided down to the top of his chest. He's tall, standing just over 6". His muscular arms betray not only his fondness for cracking skulls, but also his profession as a blacksmith. Pounding iron all day has given Erik a well sculpted body and one could say he's in his physical prime. His face, body and clothes are often stained from his constant work in the smithy.
Profession: Raider, Blacksmith
Round up personality: Quick tempered, zealous devotee of Odin, proud and reckless.
Fighting skills: Fights with a typical viking long sword and wooden buckler shield. Often fights offensively, utilising a shield bash technique. Isn't afraid to get physical with moves such as kicks and headbutts - can somewhat hold his own even when disarmed.
Great! Shall look forward to reading them.
Freiga
Early 20's
Widowed wife of a farmer, raider
Quite simply a formidable woman. She is fierce and strong willed, but has the ability to observe and assess before acting brash. Freiga has a mothering instinct to her, and has a tender heart torn apart by loss. Passionate and protective, Freiga has earned her reputation as quite the shieldmaiden. Courageous and wise, she doesn’t run straight into violence unless needed. Freiga continues through the most trying and difficult of times with a level head and determined will. It is her desire for adventure that takes her on the raids, not the violence and need for battle.
Freiga is not part of the shield wall, her build is too slight. But she is in the thick of it, and her archery skills and swiftness with a sword allow her to take down an enemy when the wall moves forwards. Freiga is fast and agile, and ambidextrous. Speed, rather than brute strength, is her greatest feat.

### Viking Scandinavia
### Helsingborg Districts
Ignore population statistics.
### Helsingborg, 793 A.D
In the largest coastal village in Helsingborg, in the community of Råå, thrives the trade of farming, fishing and amongst the finest carpenters and boat makers. Lead by a harsh yet keen Chieftain, he oft keeps the spoils of the raid, dividing meagre shares amongst those who fought for the claim. Life is harsh, but survived. But amongst those who often lift axe and sword, their dreams of travel spread much further than their usual voyage. Stories of lands to the west, of a land called England and of their great wealth and lands. One amongst their crew, a man with a brilliant mind and hands made for craft has built a new ship, one that could tread the great distance to the unknown lands.
With orders to return to the east, will our band of raiders be able to convince their Earl of the potential? Or will their voyage be kept a secret and head out to the unknown, without anyone the wiser?
Our story begins here.
### Rules, Information and other boring stuff.
So this is a story of a group of Vikings making the first journey to England, and of their successful raid of Northumbria. There will be no cast iron story, instead the story will change depending on the actions of our characters. Of course, I shall throw in a few things just to keep us going. But I am also very open to ideas that any of you may have.
1 - Mature players and mature characters. There will be violence, swearing, sacrifices, gore etc. Anything goes really, so long as it is kept within the rules of the guild.
2 - I don't expect a post everyday, we all have lives and priorities. So long as we all communicate through the OOC and keep everyone informed.
3 - The available slots shall be posted below.
4 - I won't ask for a full character sheet, as they can be too binding. However, as our characters will know each other (unless new to raiding) so there will be a simple sheet for you to just sum up your character and give people a rough idea of who they are and what they look like.
5 - I do have maps, of both Scandinavia and Helsingborg and its districts. They will be posted up.
6 - Any questions, do ask. Any suggestions, do say! This is a group roleplay, not just mine.
7 - I personally do not mind someone controlling my character for the purpose of their post. Hard to write one sided conversations and interactions. However, please check with the player as some people do not like others controlling their characters.

Now the weekend and my shifts are over, I can get to an OOC.
There isn't going to be a set in stone plot here, instead I am going to open it up to the other players and allow all to throw in any ideas or plot bombs they may have.
The village will be in the coastal region of Helsingborg, in modern day Sweden. As it is a port town, there will be plenty of trade, fishing and of course the docks. Modern day Helsingborg is divided into many subdivisions, with 30+ districts. Should you want to play a character who owns land, more information will be given in the OOC
The town will be ruled over by an Earl, who is open for playing should someone want too, if not he will be a puppet character. You do not have to live in the village, but can perhaps live in a farming community or even fishing etc. Moving past the initial coast line, plenty of farms and deep forestry.
