Yjarldor Stormcaller

---

The streets of Inarrel bustled with life, dozens of people going every which way as they tried to carry out their daily tasks and avoid crashing in to each other. Yjarl couldn't help but slight chuckle at the thought that no matter what world he was in people were always in too much of a hurry for his tastes. It took him more than a bit to get the hang of maneuvering his new gargantuan form, much to the distain to the half dozen of street vendors who's stales he managed to topple over as he stumbled about. But luckily it seemed that after a few falls that Yjarl was able to walk down the street with competence, this may have been do to the fact that people started to make way for the clumsy giant but Yjarl still counted it as a victory.

Though it took some getting used to Yjarl was actually starting to like his new stature, it gave him a view over everything around him that he could only dream of. A small smile formed on his light blue lips as he scanned over the scurrying crowd that flowed around him, despite the haste that surrounded him he couldn't help the excitement that filled him as he again appreciated the fact of where he was. He was actually in Inarrel. In Emerald Odyssey!! The behemoth had to contain himself from jumping with giddiness, namely do to if he did he would probably fall over again.

The only thing that brought him back down to reality was the fact that in all honesty he had no idea what he was going to do now. "Huh..." Yjarl stopped as he began to ponder the options. Usually while he was playing the game he had a menu of quests that he could choose from that gave him a sense of direction, now that he was here what was he supposed to do? "If only I had a map or something..." As soon as the words left his lips a small screen popped up in front of Yjarl's face, prompting a rather loud yelp from the towering young man quickly followed by an apology to the group of concerned on lookers that he just startled.

As he recomposed himself Yjarl looked back to the screen floating in front of him and just as he asked for it was a map. "Awesome..." He mumbled as he scanned it over. Yjarl started to walk and just as he had hoped a little marker on the map began to move with him, that was him. "So cool!" Despite it being a simple little thing Yjarl couldn't help but be fascinated by the map, to the point that he began to walk with it still open, tracking his progress through the city with it.

He didn't even know how long he had been walking by this point, he may have gone on forever like this if it was not for him over hearing a conversation that caught his interest. "Wait Japan?" Yjarl spoke aloud as he finally closed his map and looked over to catch the sight of a small group of characters. "Did you guys just say Japan? Like the real world Japan?" He questioned as he stepped towards the group, peering down at them. He then threw his arms up as if in victory. "YES!! I'M NOT ALONE!!" He exclaimed, his voice almost shaking the earth with its force.

It is almost jarring how quickly unbridled excitement can be shifted into complete and utter bewilderment and Damian was about to find this out first hand. Mere moments ago the young man was counting down the seconds to Emerald Odyssey's scheduled shut down, trying to squeeze as much gameplay in as he could before the maintenance started up, but then everything just went dark. "Shit. Did the power go out?" Damian pondered aloud as he searched the blackness that surrounded him, trying to regain his bearings. But just as quickly as the darkness washed over him it was replaced with searing and blinding flood of light. "Damnit!!"

As Damian blinked his eyes in an attempt to try and regain focus he was greeted with a sight that was far more troubling than the sudden darkness that had over took him. He was no longer in his small quite studio apartment, but rather he stood in the middle of a town that was bustling with life. "The hell?!" Damian exclaimed in utter shock, his body naturally taking a few steps back in an attempt to separate itself from the bizarre situation. It was in his confusion that Damian managed to catch the back of foot on a loose rock and send himself toppling over. Damian's body hitting the ground practically shook the earth and sent up a cloud of dust and dirt.

"Owww..." Damian groaned as he laid on the floor for a moment, the slight hope the strike to his head would some how pull him back to reality. "Uhh are you okay?" It was this soft voice that finally encouraged Damian to reopen his eyes and just as he feared he was still not back in his room, though this time he was greeted by a face peering down at him.

She was a young woman with soft features and a round face, dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail that hung down just below her neck. She wore simple cloth shirt that seemed too large for her with a slightly tarnished plaid printed skirt that settled down a little bit above her ankles. But what really caught Damian's eye about her was the woman's green skin paired with the pointed ears sprouting out of her head. If Damian didn't know any better he would of sworn that this a forest nymph, but that would of been impossible. "Well are you?"

After what felt like an eternity of gawking and staring Damian finally managed to find his voice. "Uhh uhh y-yeah.... yes I'm okay." Damian stammered out as he looked up at the woman.

"Good, then would you mind moving? You are blocking the road." The green skinned woman said, placing a hand on her hip in what looked like impatience. Damian Sat up as quickly as he could, but stopped himself the second he noticed that even with out standing he was already towering over his pointed ear associate. "The hell?" It was in this moment that Damian took a second to turn his attention from the bizarreness of his surroundings and finally on to himself.

"Holy-!!" Damian cut himself off as he looked down at his massive form that was cladded in armor. As he stood up he only became that much more aware of his staggering size, looking down to the nymph woman who was still eyeing him and waiting for him to move. "I-I'm sorry ma'am..." He said, offering a slight bow of his head.

"Just try to stay out of the street from now on okay?" The woman said before offering Damian a smile and continuing on her way and leaving the giant to try to come to terms with what was going on.

Damian took more than an apocopate amount of time familiarizing himself with his new form in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the town before finally refocusing on his current situation. The answer was too obvious, but even more insane that Damian didn't want to admit it to himself. Finally he decided to swallow the hard truth that he had in fact been transported into the body of his avatar, the Strom Giant Yjarldor Stormcaller. Not only that but he was ripped from the real world and tossed into the that of the fantastical realm of Emerald Odyssey. As much bewilderment and fear filled his core Damian, or rather Yjarldor, couldn't help but have some excitement burning in his chest. After all who wouldn't want to be inside of their favorite video game.

Now the only thing left to be decided was what was he going to do next, lucky for him he was already in Inarrel, a central hub of activity. He was sure that he could stumble upon a quest here, the thought of which only further fanning the giddy flames in his heart.

@Vulkan Elyan and Yjarl could of worked together in the past, maybe some player was needing help with a particularly difficult raid or something and hired Elyan. Yjarl would of jumped at the chance to lend a hand and decided to tag along to help them. I'm just spit balling.

@DocRock Thanks dude =) And by the way I have always been a fan of Dragonborn like characters, what's not to like about humanoid dragons?

@VitaVitaAR He may not boring, but I'm sure Yjarl can manage to get on that little firebug's nerves.

Name
(Former)

Damian Queen

Name
(Character)

Yjarldor "Yjarl" Stormcaller
_{(Pronounced Yarl-Dor)}

Age

22

Appearance

Yjarl's avatar is a hulking individual, standing at a staggering eleven feet tall and weighting over eight-hundred pounds. His large frame is covered in slab upon slab of muscle, though he has quite the amount of muscle mass it isn't incredibly toned. He has sky blue skin that is covered in a series of jagged dark blue markings that cover his entire body. Yjarl keeps his head clean shaven, the only hair on his face being a pair of thick black eyebrows. His eyes are a striking icy blue color and give off a faint glow.

Character Level

51

Character Class

Guardian

Personality

Yjarl is a gentle of a giant, having a kind heart and a nearly hindering need to help others. A warm smile is always at home on the young man's face and he is no stranger to a laugh, but unlike many others Yjarl is by no means boisterous and is rather reserved when it comes to his fun. He has a soft spot for those in need and will usually go out of his way to help others, even if it means putting himself at risk. His kind heart should by no means be mistaken for weakness, Yjarl would not hesitate to pounce on someone he felt deserved it. At the end of the day Yjarl lives by the old saying speak softly and carry a big stick, always willing to stay his hand, but never afraid to let loose if need be.

Abilities

As a Storm Giant Yjarl has a number of abilities allotted to him, most prominent of which being the boost to both his strength and constitution which comes at the cost of his dexterity and speed. A prime example of this strength is Yjarl being able to wield what would be classified as two-handed weapons in only one hand. He also has a natural resistance to lightning damage. Yjarl's Storm Giant blood also gives him the ability known as Thunder Shout which is an AoE ability that allows Yjarl to let out a roar with such force and volume that it stuns and physically knocks back those around him. He is also has the Storm Within ability which causes his body to be coated in electrical energy for a short time.

Skills

Yjarl's training as a Guardian mainly focused around trying to defend his other party members by drawing enemy attention onto himself. Many of Yjarl's moves involve him charging into a group of enemies, which often leads to many of the smaller foes being trampled, and sweeping with his massive weaponry to attack multiple targets. He has rather limited ranged attacks however, his only one being a harpoon attack that is meant to impale an enemy from afar and drag it closer to Yjarl's melee range. His large size also allows him grapple smaller foes, either being able to restrain them, throw them, or bash them into the ground.

Backstory

Damian grew up as a military brat, his mother being in the service. His mother's job meant that he was moved around a lot, meaning from a young age Damian got to see a whole lot of the world. These moves also meant that Damian never had too much time to actually make many real face to face friendships, it was this problem that turned the young man on to online gaming. Through these online worlds it didn't matter how many times he moved Damian would always be a mere internet connection away from friends.

Once he was old enough to move out Damian headed to Japan for collage, namely do to him feeling that it was the promise land of online gaming, and this is where he found Emerald Odyssey, falling head over heels for the gamed almost instantly. The world was massive and it was filled to the brim with people that he could interact with. The more Damian played the more he realized that as much as he liked getting to meet new people what he loved was helping others. This was when Yjarldor Stormcaller really came into being, Damian created him as someone anyone could come to for help. A boss giving you trouble? Yjarldor would join your party in a heart beat. Can't find that last piece to complete that armor set? Yjarldor would grind with you for hours. Got a bunch of players griefing lower level characters? Yjarldor would set them straight. It didn't take too long until people actually started searching Yjarldor out for help.

Damian had planned to try and get through the content in the new expansion as fast as possible so he could then turn around and start helping other people through it, little did he know he was going to end up being the one that would need help in the end.
