Name: Thorald Tharaldson
Age: 37
Race: Norns
Weapons/Skills:
Shaman Magic - Trained to be a shaman from young age, Thorald has 'mastered' the arts of enchantment, totem making, spirit walking and nature magic.
Master Marksman - Thorald is a master with the bow and arrow and prefers to use that over other weapons. His bow looks like this and "it is said" that a druid once predicted that "when this bow breaks, a King will lose his country."
Twin Axes - A pair of axes that Thorald uses should he have to fight in close-quarter combat. Thorald himself believes the weapons were crafted by Barash, as both heads are engraved with lynxes, and the end of the hilts are shaped like the claws of two lynxes which hangs together with emeralds. Thorald found the weapons frozen in a solid iceblock and after standing for twenty days and nights thawing the ice with his hands, he finally got them freed. [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnreliableNarratorOr so he says...[/url] Unsurprisingly, the two axes have minor ice abilities and are ice cold to touch, no matter time of the year and day.
Potion Making/Herbalist - As any other shaman, Thorald knows how to make a quick a few potions and what kind of herbs that are used for healing and other effects in the nature. One of Thorald's "favorite" potions is the one that sends you into berserker state, as Thorald often uses this potion as a last resort when he needs a bit of extra power.
Awful Scald skills - Being the boaster he his, Thorald often tries to make songs about his adventures, but these usually turns out badly. For all the things Thorald is, he is not a talented singer or song-maker.
Background: As a child, Thorald was picked up by the village shaman as one of two that had the potential to succeed him. During his childhood all the way to maturity he and the other kid was trained in the ways of shamans, but although Thorald was the better of the two candidates, his dreams of adventure and glory in combat made the shaman chose the other for his successor. No pride lost, Thorald accepted the decision without hesitation and before the next day had come, which coincidently also was his 14th birthday, he had packed his things and left for the grand world.
Personality: A boaster and a thousand stories man. After his 23 years out on traveling foot Thorald can tell stories about being in places doing things "no other man could've". "If it happened, Thorald has either been there, seen it or experienced something similar in the past, and he also fought a dragon while doing so." some people would say. Because of this some believes that all of Thorald's exploits are big bluffs, but those that actually have met him knows that at the very least some must be true, for they could see that Thorald is far from a weakling.
Some of his actual true exploits(in other words, those that have been proven to be him):
- Slaying five trolls almost single-handed
- Tricking two giants to start and eternal battle for honor with each other
- Killing over a hundred armed men (bare-handed?) on his way out of captivity of a Urusshan tribe
- He fooled the warriors of an Shakk tribe to follow him through a marsh, where he would use his shaman magic to make the marsh devour them
Some other stories told about him:
- Winning a wrestling contest with a Troll who then agreed to free a bunch of sheep it had stolen from the local farm.
- Saving the life of a forest spirit who in return made him his bow, later a druid would make a prediction about this bow.
- He traveled so far that he came to a land very everything was covered in sand.
- With the help of the Gods, he slaugthered an army of Jotuns who had been planning to invade the world of men and kill, rape, burn and pillage anything they came over.
- According to rumours, Thorald also fought demons, undeads and a bunch of other monsters along side a black-haired giant who wielded a huge chunk of iron that some would call a sword.
- Thorald Tharaldson also claims to once have found The Armaments of The Gods.
Is this all okay?
EDIT: Because of JoonasTo's bullying I changed the age. He is now 7 years younger.
EDIT1: I wasn't happy with it so I changed it back.

All's fine, but one thing isn't clear to me.
Tell me, how your character drowned the Shakkians? Manipulated the marsh itself or used it's waters? As I stated earlier only druids are able to manipulate plants and animals.

Used its waters. Think that is the simplest way out of that situasion.
But except for that is it all ok? Can I post in the IC then?

I think JoonasTo managed to convince DagothGares and Keksimaton to join this RP. But I ain't sure yet. Well, we'll see whether they join or not. If they do then this will be the biggest RP I've been in since Armaments...or pokémon...

I'm writing it just now.
So wait for a while, 'kay?
BTW. Is it purposeful you said Domerth, the Chief of the nokethian tribe? Wasn't he to be the chief befroe?
EDIT:
When she says Domerth of Krunn she means him as a single invidual, not as the representative of the village.
If you accept, I'd like to be given the chance to close the deal, she will use her real name in this.

Domerth will receive the title from his father before the journey. But as Dementij(the old chief) said, Domerth already takes care of most duties of a chieftain, but doesn't hold the title.
The suffix 'of Kunn' of his name indicates the settlement he's from.

Ah, so that's how it is.
Yes, I got that of Kunn part. That's why she left the Chieftain out from the plea but put it in to the offer.
So not what I meant, but makes this that much more awesome. 
Didn't she just say she can't be married. 
Just your regular friendship, allegiance, help in times of need stuff. She considers wovs a very serious thing, if she's on the other side of the world and you call, she will come, no questions asked. She expects the same in return, of course, she understands that as a chief of a village, you can't come just like that.

Okay, I've got a problem, I've been banging my head against the wall for the last twenty minutes about this.
The offer is all good and well but what on earth could she do there?
You've got enough blades and you've got a potent shaman.
She can't even use a bow due to her blind eye so she can't hunt that effectively.
It's not like one woman can farm, not to mention if she ever gets old(which I seriously doubt though)
She can't work as a trader, because of her looks.
She doesn't have any other skills for a profession than singing and fighting.
In other words, if she were to take it, she would be forced to become a beggar or traveling mercenary(which she already is, so it would make no sense)
Now, normally one would just refuse it outright but seeing as this is an RP and the quest is kinda the whole point, I can't do that. I'm taking in ideas.

You see. That is kinda her point. Your village is already well off that she is useless.
In other words, she feels she would be a bother because she couldn't do anything meaningless.
She isn't getting too little, she is getting too much.
She won't accept the battle brothers bond, not for someone whom she has no history with, yet, maybe after the quest goes on or after it's over.
It's not that she's underestimating herself, she is just stating the facts.
You already have enough warriors, so no use for her fighting skills.
You already have a powerful shaman, so no use for her singing skills.
That's pretty much all she can do. Besides of everyday stuff like anyone else.
Another thing is that she is kind of worried about her future if she settles down. Seeing as she can't have a family, she is doomed being a beggar after she becomes old and can't fight or sing anymore. This doesn't sit well with her. So she is still a little reluctant on making a decision to settle down.
All in all, a tough nut to crack.

And it's got a point. In the evening the brain is colliding with all kinds of things so we make totally absurd logical reasoning. In the morning the waste from the yesterday s mostly gone so we get free reign over it.

((OOC: GAHHH! War-Overlord, specify who you mean when you say young warrior!))
Actually should be no need to. If you had looked carefully at the posts of Kip and Overlord you would see this:
Quote:
Vishan's head was buzzing like a beehive. He drank way to much ale yesterday. None the less he packed the leather armor that Vulkan made according Heila's description of the hermit's body build and some food for the journey. He was now looking for Snorbald. The elder warrior promised to accompany him over to the hermit. Vishan found him, eating the early breakfast.
- Ready to go? We must leave now if we're to return before the rest depart.- He said and drank some ale, trying to ease his hangover.
Quote:
Snorbald saw the young warrior drink some stale ale left from the night before.
"To much drink last night, eh? That stale ale is not going to do any good. If you want to get rid of a hangover, you'd best run to the chickencoop and eat two raw eggs. If anything, it'll ease the rotgut." Snorbald advised the youngling before eating a boiled egg in a single bite.
So it was kind of obvious who he meant... no need to make a fuss
