Olaf “Skar” Groosen
Occupation- Hunter/Trapper/Scout/Archer


And so it said..
That Olrik made a joke
And there was much laughter
Save for Skar
Who was not amused
And so there was a great bloodletting
....
After which Skar wondered
as he considered his handiwork.
'Why did the bartender say, to the horse,
'Hey buddy, why the long face?'
And then came insight.
And Skar smiled and thoughts,
"I get it now."
---- from the Skarvitargan saga.

Little is known of the origins of Olaf “Skar” Grooson. Some say he is the bastard child of a wanderer who has since been forgotten. Others say that he is the offspring of a wolf and a witch but these cannot agree if he was raised by witches or wolves. It is also believed he suffered as a child, from a terrible fire or an attack by a fearsome animals. Others say he was once a leper. All that is known is that on discovery his face was disfigured. Because of this disfigurement, had shied away from most human contact. Tired of the taunts of children and the fearful glances of mothers, he often hides his face behind a cloak and a leather mask least he frighten those he associates. He associates with few.

He owns a number of masks which not only mask his disfigurement, but also keep his face warm. Some masks are painted with images to frighten those he combats. In battle, it is said that he will remove his mask to terrify his enemy and he is often called Skar by those close to him.

Skar spends little time in among people, preferring to spend his days in the forest where he hunts and traps. His skill at trapping is noteworthy and he is a competent hunter and tracker. However, his time in the wild have meant that he lacks social skills, although he has acquired a bit more insight into others. He prefers to be left alone to hunt and trap, favoring the loneliness of nature to the company of men.

Unlike most of his Viking colleagues, Skar is more suited for land, but his skills at navigation and repairs make him a useful crewman. As a fighter he is fast and strong, and, skilled with long sword and competent with the dirk. Years of hunting have made him an especially dangerous man with a bow, capable of sneaking on his target until within range and delivering a precise blow. His ability to devise traps works against man and beast alike. He fights either with a bow, with sword and shield or often with two hand-held weapons.

Skar is known for traveling long distances in cold temperatures. He keeps within two sets of armor- a leather armor with scales, a light fitting armor that he uses when hunting or tracking. In battle he prefers a set of chain, with a platemail breast plate and a viking round shield and helm. His weapons are always with him and he often keeps two quivers of some 48 arrows. For long distances he often will use a pack animals. He uses seal skins to keep water out and keep himself warm and often will use the fur of a large bear to keep warm when it is especially cold. His boots are of fox fur and seal skin to keep his feet dry.


Dsig- I have altered the skill points, making him uglier and using the points to improve dex and con. I will also figure out his weapons and gear when I get another look at the Dark Ages rule book. A short range axe makes sense- given his backwoods background, and it works as a weapon as well.

In his land, Osvald is known as a friendly and religious community leader of high moral character and good judgment. To those outside his own people, he is known as a good natured but relentless negotiator and diplomat. Osvald was a raider of modest accomplishments in his youth; capable as a warrior but never excelling in battle. When he returned home after his twenty fifth year he began establishing himself as a respectable civilian, intermediating in disputes between villagers and settling matters between other clans and lands.

I would imagine he was sent along to act as sort de facto diplomat to the Inuit people, though I don’t know what you’ve got planned. I've got a few things I need to look up, but I'm at work right now, so I can't get to the book.

Sort of an outlier who doesn't talk much. He generally finds the biggest strongest fellow in a group and attempts to befriend him. Very much a follower. Doesn't like to work, avoids it when possible. Very intelligent, well-read.
His father raised him alone and was something of an outcast, suspected of murdering his wife. He owned a large collection of books and scrolls(some occult) which Weoulf read thoroughly. After his father died and the village seized his home and he was forced to work. He then enlisted in the ranks of the army and worked as a scout for a year before the chance to head to Helluland appeared. Unfortunately for him, he is afraid of the sea and everything that resides in it. This will not be a pleasant journey for Weoulf.

Orm is an old grizzled sea bear who has faced death in battle many times, but have yet to die. Those who know him treasure his advice and counsel and although he is not afraid to let his sword do the talking, he is not quick to anger and always thinks before he acts.

Berger is a well traveled Viking. Having survived 5 campaigns through his career, Berger has seen a lot of death. Once valiant and full of hope for glory, Berger is now filled with hate for himself and the cruelty of men. Crass and offensive, this Viking cares little for authority or fellowship. Though he wishes no one any real harm, Berger is quick to anger and will take out his frustrations on his fellow Vikings faces.Lately, his inner demons have driven him to the bottle. This will likely be his final campaign as he plans to drink himself onto the point of some Skraeling’s spear, but not before taking a few heathens with him.

I'd definately like to join, but i need some help, this would be my second game and im still not sure how to proceed in the character making, past the Attributes
i assume Constitution = Health
but i dont know about any else
as well as setting skills too

to give an idea, Eldgrim is a Decent Warrior when it comes down to it, obviously from his Nickname "the wanderer" hes more of an Adventurer and about as much of a 'people person' and an Asatru Warrior can possibly be.
so he's very cultured and charismatic, has some skill with languages, as well as a great understanding of Viking Belief and the Eddas
as an Adventurer it pays for him to be very perceptive and aware of his surroundings
he wields a longsword as well as a medium shield and an Obsidian Apache Skinning Knife as opposed to the Scramsax (same thing really just for fluff)
