And we're good, might add some more other stuff and win quotes later :P [hider=Klara Grimolfdottir] [center][h1][b]Klara Grimolfdottir[/b][/h1] [img]http://i.imgur.com/mFANUcx.png[/img] [h2]⦋ [b]26[/b] || [b]Scandanavian(?)[/b] || [b]Female[/b] ⦌[/h2] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Lr4hJEPSE[/youtube][/center] [h3][b]APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY[/b][/h3] [indent] [u][b]APPEARANCE [/b][/u] [indent]Thanks to the magic of the ice giants she was raised by, the nearly seven-foot tall and 270-pound tower of muscle that is Klara would easily qualify as a giant herself. Her skin is a snowy white inked with blue tattoos, the same color as her eyes, with equally white long hair in a Nordic style. She tends to wear fur-lined leathers of her own handiwork (mostly because no one makes clothes in her size), mostly a fur-lined coat over a leather top and leggings complete with boots and fur gauntlets. She also carries a rucksack with her supplies on her back.[/indent] [u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u] [indent]■Bold[/indent][indent]■Confident[/indent][indent]■Eager to Fight[/indent][indent]■Tenacious[/indent][indent]■Stubborn[/indent][indent]■Jovial[/indent][indent]■Just[/indent][indent]■Technologically Inept[/indent][indent]■Best Drinking Buddy You Could Ask For[/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u] [indent]Many years ago, tragedy struck when an airliner lost power over Norway and crashed into the Scandanavian mountains. By the time the authorities gave up on the search, the only survivor of the accident was a little girl, barely a year old and miraculously shielded from the cold. Barely hanging onto life, she was discovered by a very tall man with pure white skin and cold blue eyes, who took her back to his village deep in the mountains and nursed her back to health. The man, Grimolf, and his people were the Jötunn, the mythical ice giants of Scandinavian legend, and the girl was later given the name of Klara. Despite the misgivings of the others in his tribe, Grimolf took the girl into his house and raised him as his own, teaching her everything he knew about hunting, fighting, and the old Jötunn traditions. Klara took to the ways of the Jötunn with gusto, and as she grew up and her latent ki energy manifested, it began to produce a strange reaction with the Jötunn's inherent magic energies. As she proved herself every bit a Jötunn as her adopted brothers and sisters and began to win the admiration of her village, Klara began to grow much faster then usual as the color in her hair and face began to fade and her eyes changed from brown to blue. By the time she was a woman she was indistinguishable from her siblings, seeming to have been transformed by the Jötunn magic into an ice giant herself, or at least an incredibly accurate facsimile of one, a development that Klara wasn't too shaken up about, to say the least, since it brought her all the more closer to the race that adopted her. Having become the pride and joy of not just her family but the entire Jötunn village, she was naturally the first one called upon when another strange outsider came to the outskirts of the village one day. Confronting him at the village gate, the pair of them got into a fight that lasted the whole day and ended with the pair of them laughing and toasting each other's combat skill over glasses of mead the same night. After their celebration, Klara asked who he was, and the man simply replied that he was a Nomad, going on to explain the nature of Ki to her and revealing that she had the capability to be a Nomad herself. Intrigued and excited at the possibility of such a profession, shortly after the man left the village she decided that she was going to be a Nomad too, eager for the chance to meet other warriors like herself, to best them in combat, and to celebrate a hard fought battle alongside them![/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE [/b][/u] [indent]Klara's base fighting style is based largely on Glima, the wrestling style used by the Vikings, augmented with moves from more modern techniques like SAMBO, Judo, and with a bit of a barroom brawl flair thrown in for good measure. The end result is a unique move set that capitalizes on her size and strength, using grapples, throws, and slow, strong hits to overwhelm the opposition with sheer power and knock them around like a rag doll. Her Ki abilities manifest in the form of ice-based abilities taught to her by the ice giants, which she uses to enforce her attacks and catch enemies in the open to shut them down. [/indent] [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u] [indent][u]■ Ice Totem[/u] [indent]Klara stomps or punches the ground to summon a pillar of ice up from the earth. The pillar comes up with enough force to launch someone into the air, and Klara can push or pull at it with her powers once before it falls apart. She can also take the form of an active ice totem, shattering it and effectively teleporting to its location.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Cold Cleave[/u] [indent]Klara summons a battleaxe made of ice and hurls it at her opponent, which shatters on impact if it hits someone.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Iceborne[/u] [indent]Klara turns her own body into ice, greatly increasing her defense but rendering her immobile. She can use this on individual parts of her body for a less defensive but more mobile variant of this move, and if she has a totem active she can teleport to it while frozen.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Cold Shoulder[/u] [indent]Klara slides forward with a shoulder bash, leaving a trail of ice behind her and either knocking her opponent away or hoisting them onto her shoulders to throw them behind her.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Frostbite[/u] [indent]Klara channels her ki into an Ice Breath attack, slowing or even freezing her opponent and leaving them vulnerable.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Viking Salute[/u] [indent]Klara pulls an opponent in and knocks them away with a powerful headbutt.[/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ Whiteout[/u] [indent]Klara channels her ki into an intense ice storm, pelting her opponent with ice shards before finishing off with a two-handed ice battleaxe throw.[/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ Flight of the Valkyrie[/u] [indent]Klara opens by launching her opponent into the air with a two-handed uppercut, juggling the enemy by summoning an ice totem where they land, then grabbing them by the leg and [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MetronomicManMashing]slamming them onto the ground[/url] before throwing them into the Ice Totem (or someone else, if applicable).[/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u] Acutely affected by the Jotunn magic, Klara shares their weakness to fire and heat based attacks. Her reliance on strength and power over speed and agility means that without her ki, a nimble opponent Klara can't get a grip on will dance circles around her. She also has a tendency to go easy on her enemies if she is particularly enjoying the fight just to draw it out. [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3] [indent][indent]Klara's breath mists no matter how warm or cold it is outside, and the air around her tends to get a little colder if she's agitated.[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
