Spoiler: Read Through Song Character Information|ᛗᚤ ᚾᚨᛗᛖ Full Name: Svend Hjelmskærer av Drettlefjord "The Bastard" "The Bladesman" "The Skagger" Race: Driksi Velheim Ailor Age: Twenty Four Gender: Male Occult: Void Arkenborn of Fury Core Concept|ᚹᚺᛟ ᛁ ᚨᛗ Concept Svend is a bastard born of Drixagh with gold eyes that flicker with the passion of a wildfire and a lust for battle. He is not the typical warming or jolly Velheim that the Holy Isle is used too, carrying a brutish and animalistic nature earning the title of "Slemmer" or mean person in Skodje. The Demonspawn was a prior graduate of the Turaal School of Blades, though he no longer accepts the title of Bladesman, rather embracing his heritage after a peregrination back home and earning the distinction of "Skagger" or someone who has forsaken his home for or because of conflict. A warrior, a barbarian in classical terms but more so a Skagger of the Randsbjorn Hof or Bear Berserker of Rand's Lodge. His current objective to battle, to live a life in pursuit of glory or die trying. Morality A man who favors blunt tact, might makes right and general self sustainability, Svend is best described as Neutral Evil that drifts into True Neutral. He is direct with his approach, highly critical to strangers and mockingly rude to friends almost as a self defense mechanism. He favors no laws and no masters, with only those who hold their own against him in, best him or display a high magnitude of skill in either verbal dialogue, physical combat or general craftmanship being worthy of his respect. The Berserker favors breaking others. Carnage, bloodlust and wroth are his calling cards. While not directly malicious to others, he will lie and steal for his own survival. Svend does not favor civilian causalities in his battles though if someone was to step into or interrupt said battle they label themselves as combatants in his eyes. Religion Svend was born in a Unionist mission north of the Calemberg border, prior he offered lip service to Dogmatic Unionism, favored Elia as his Patron. The area of his birth was mostly inhabited by Eilirik Drixaghers outside of them mission, whom were warry about the Reittsson. After spending time in the Crown Isle and amongst the citizens of Fairbanks and Crookback he has recently converted to the worship of the Vola. He is not overly religious or zealous, but considers the Gods his liege and him their banner and weapon if needed. He favors Rand, Thirun and Blodruna. Appearance Information|ᚨ ᚠᚨᚲᛖ ᛏᛟ ᚱᛖᛗᛖᛗᛒᛖᚱ Spoiler: Art Tattoos and Mutations Eye's of piercing gold, arced with bloodlust greet those who gaze upon Svend. They crackle and spark like a wildfire ignited in fury when in battle. Like most of his siblings and cousins, he inherited a brand of red markings with a gold outline. Beginning on his left pectoral, his red markings spiral out over his torso extending down his right arm and across his neck and just over his face in a recent development, in Berhednar Skagger style. Directly above his heart is a branded Oak tree and below it written in void script at the lower side of his pectoral and drifting over his ribs reads: "WRATHFUL SPAWN OF PERDITION, BLOODIED SWORD OF GLORY HUNT, HE WHO WILL DIE YOUNG, CARNAGE INCARNATE" His tattoos then spiral out like branches into various Velheimer, Fornoss and Void worship hieroglyphics and geometrical lines typically detailing aspects of Fury along with various "KILL, RIP, TEAR, DESTROY" written in void script. As wounds turn into scars his markings grow out to them like roots digging for water. His void script tattoos change and grow as he accomplishes deeds, carry a living story of his conquests.

Plot Hooks|ᚹᚺᚨᛏ ᛏᛟ ᛞᛟ Svend was born a Unionist in Eilirik land Drixagh but has since converted to Fornoss, primarily Vola worship. Exchange and conflict can be had from this. Svend wears a ornate dagger as one of his many necklaces, signifying him as a Graduate of the Turaal School of blades in Anglia. Anglians or worldly individuals can note that the school of Turaal trains in use of agility and duel wielding swords and daggers. Svend is a borderline homeless vagabond constantly seeking his next challenge. He is morally gray, often seeking work for whoever is hiring regardless if they are highborn or an aspiring crime lord. Svend is an Arkenborn of Fury and now a Godborn of Stalhjart though he tends to prefer the former and not the latter. Those interested in his thoughts on the subject can ask him with varing degrees of results. Svend recently acquired facial tattoos in the Skagger Berhednar fashion, more commonly referred too as berserkers. Velheimers can note the title of Skagger as one who has "Lost or forsaken their home because of tragedy.” Spoiler: Relationships Khayri El-amin Yoel Maldonado Jean Saint-Jean Josif of the Black Sparrows Gabrielle von Caldrin Maisie von Caldrin Character Trivia Svend abhors anyone who shortens his name to Sven. He considers those who do slothful and disrespectful. His accent typically differs from the average Velheim Common speaker. While he will still be more bland and monotone with most of his pronunciation, he learned a rural tick in Anglia. The Bladesman has an aversion to spices and things that are too sugary on account of it upsetting his stomach. He prefers bitter flavors. Despite being a Reittsson, he still carries a small magical trail. Those who approach Svend too closely can feel the primal urge for bloodlust he radiates. Even if it is masked behind a stoic stare.
