Hair Style: Sideswept left, right side shaved. Skin Color: Pale Clothing: Situational Height: 6’4” Personality and Abilities (Required) Perception | Okse is perceived as a very upfront person that will speak his mind if asked, he is also very approachable. Okse has been seen as a very upfront person when talked to but will keep to himself most of the time. Commonly, Okse is seen as a kind-spirited person who speaks openly, even sometimes bluntly, about the situations he finds himself in. Folks would also likely say that he is very respectful when spoken to, seeming far more down to earth and level headed than other members of his family. Introspection | On the inside Okse feels he has a very grounded nature. He is very confident with his culinary endeavours and conversations, he found a passion for cooking and talking to new people. He doesn’t typically enjoy talking for long periods of times however as he has anxiety, feeling that the longer he talks the more he risks messing up in some way, not wanting to become the failure many think he could be. Many view Okse as a person of silence as he does not speak unless spoken to. He also has a profound sense of pride in his religious knowledge. Relationships | Okse is very fraternal, caring greatly for his kinsfolk and those he considers brothers and sisters-in-arms. He would much rather be alone than have someone worry about him at home. This came from very recent events (namely the Bone Horrors and Burning of the North) which have led to his more individualistic approach to relationships. With strangers Okse is very formal, he doesn’t talk to them unless they address him directly and he will be kind to those who are kind to him. This goes further than many other individuals as he often permits those who appear boorish and rude to present a better side of themselves before passing judgement. Morality | Okse is a neutral good, he is very much a person for talking rather than jumping into conflicts. His moral code is highly manifested in his way of talking, being around people, and being a good person. Okse is a just person, he will do his best to find the best in people that deserve it, if someone is being too rude and he can’t seem to find something good in them, he will simply tolerate them but not make an effort to be nice to them. They see people corruption and evil deeds and simply flaws that can be changed, things that can be forgiven and forgotten. He doesn’t dwell on the past. Life Story (Required) Born in the year 277AC to Garm Ulfblod and his lover. Began training from a young age with axes alongside his siblings, never fully excelling to the levels of a Skagger but being able to hold his own well enough. This led to his father leveling mild disappointment at Okse, causing him to further disparage his combat abilities due to anxiety and dejection. At the age of fifteen he grew close with his Great Uncle Cromwell who taught him a great many things about the Gods and their influence on the world. In time, Okse opted to make the Union of Earth his primary focus in the faith. He felt the wisdom that could be granted to him by the Gods far outweighed the martial abilities he could accrue over the years. His fascination with the Gods almost overtook his desire to learn to fight before his father pulled him back into the fold. Despite his father’s reaching out, there was still an underlying note of disappointment and regret from his father. Causing Okse It was around this time that his father sailed to the Crown Isle to begin establishing ties to the Empire alongside the Norrvakt patriarch. It was in the next ten years that Okse fluctuated between various hobbies, hoping to find one he enjoyed. This included a brief stint with a Reaver crew where Okse picked up a few sleight of hand tricks as well as a few other underhanded techniques before leaving after a bloodbath at a small town by the name of Hymeslef. This solidified Okse’s passive kindness as he felt guilt for the events that took place that day. In the year 304AC the Bone Horror Crisis struck, leaving him no choice but to pick up his axe again and help defend Nastrond from siege. It was during this time that Okse’s father was slain by the monstrous creatures during the burning of what came to be known as the Ashen Hills where House Fenross would later rise up. After the events settled and 305AC passed, Okse decided to retain his physical prowess by exercising regularly in addition to his stress relief found in his culinary pursuits. This routine also allowed Okse to manage his lingering post-traumatic stress that followed him since witnessing his father’s butchering a year prior. Early in the year 306AC Okse encountered the roving bastard of Einarr Norrvakt, Henrik. After discussing the roads that had brought their current situations, Henrik named Okse a Norrvakt, allowing House Ulfblod to fall into memory as the young man took up the name. Together, the pair travelled to Regalia in search of betterment and a brighter future for both of them.
@Roobert Hello, sunshine! Sorry for the wait! While this isn't required and more for sake of ease, delete the description information about each subsection and then bold each section header. I'd like another one to two sentences in each of his personality paragraphs. Flesh him out a bit more. Please expand on his life story. Include memorable experiences, instances that have shaped or would have displayed his personality. Make these changes in blue and tag me when you're done!
@Roobert Just a reminder you have until the 19th until I have to mark this app as rejected for lack of activity.
@Athelois 1. Section headers have been bolded and subtext removed. 2. The personality paragraphs currently meet the minimum requirement. I will be updating them in future as I get into the character more, but presently there isn't anything else I can add here. 3. Life story has been expanded upon with notable events and how they shaped Okse as a character. I hope this fixes it :)
