Chieftain's Name: Ulf "Jotun Blod" Grimmson
Chieftain's Appearance: Male, 29. Tall with a stocky weight lifter build, Ulf is a hulking man standing at 6'8", with a menacing stare and the strength to back it up. His hair is a platinum blonde, long and straight, the bangs kept in place with a headband. The beard, fashioned into a goatee with two braids hanging down.
Chieftain's Title: Huscarl
Chieftain's Interests: Honor and Battle, Family and Homeland (I know you wrote up 6, but none of the other interests fit my character's personality and I feel like the protection of Family and Homeland is a valid reason.)
Chieftain's Favored Weapon: Two Handed Axe
Homeland: Norrland, born in a small village in Norrbotten
Brief History: Ulf's history begins with the color of his hair. Most of the people born in the village all had either dark brown or red hair, so when Ulf was born with extremely light, platinum blonde hair, the villagers found it stange. The adults would jokingly tease about his hair, but it was the children who were the nastiest about it. They would call Ulf names, bully him, beat him to a pulp, all because of his hair color. Only one person every truly loved and respected him enough to help him, his older brother Grim, eldest son to his family. Grim would comfort Ulf, telling his brother that the reason his hair color was so light was because he had been kissed by Sif while in the womb. Any time the young brother was in danger, Grim would always be there, ready to fight and protect Ulf.
At the early age of 6, Ulf's father died during a village raid, his mother Brunhilde had died giving child birth. The rest of the family left was the youngest brother Bjorn, age 2, middle brother Sven, age 8 and the eldests Grim and his sister Ingrid age 12. 3 years later Bjorn died from sickness. During these harsh times, through both the deaths and the bullying, Ulf looked up to his older brother for guidance and protection. Even when at 14, Grim decided to leave the family, Ulf followed him, a loyal shadow to his elder brother. The two of them joined the Jarl's army to fight for him and under his cruel command Ulf grew into a strong fighter, maturing rapidly, while his brother Grim proved himself as a leader of man. When the men became tired of the Jarl's reign, Grim led a revolt, Ulf following him at his side, and overthrew the Jarl, Grim taking his place. From that day on Ulf swore his loyalty and protection to his brother Jarl, he had protected Ulf for so long, it was time to return the favor.
Six years have passed since that day and the province has prospered tremendously under Grim's able rulership. Grim's diplomatic skills earned him much respect from other Jarls, but for those who considered him to be an enemy, Ulf would quickly strike them down. Since the day he swore loyalty to the Jarl, no enemy has ever been able to kill him, and Ulf will never let anyone dare do so. When the day came that Baldr delevered Grim a summons to sail west, Ulf never hesitated once to board the ship with him, remaining at his side like the loyal shadow he had always been.

Chieftain's Name: Grim “Longlegs” Grimmson
Chieftain's Appearance: Male, 35. Long red hair pulled back into a warrior's braid with two thick, braided bangs framing his face ending in golden baubles. Thick, red, braided mustache about 8 inches long, also ending in golden baubles. Piercing blue eyes. Three golden earrings in right ear, and two in left. Wears his father's torque - a beautifully wrought iron piece in the shape of Jörmungandr – around his neck. He has a stern, commanding face that many people find handsome and trustworthy. Stands at six feet, three inches tall and has a surprisingly small amount of battle scars for his age.
Chieftain's Title: Jarl
Chieftain's Interests: Ascension, Adventure and thrill
Chieftain's Favored Weapon: His spear, able to be used in one hand or two, crafted by a master smith.
Homeland: Norrland, born in a small village in Norrbotten.
Brief History: Grim's family had always been one of common folk, simple life, and low expectations. His father Grimm was a renowned hunter, whose wife Brunhilde bore him five children – four sons and a daughter. Grim and his twin sister Ingrid were the first to be born, followed by Sven, the second son, then Ulf, and finally Björn, the fourth and last son. His mother died giving birth to Björn, and Grim never forgave his youngest brother for it. For many years, Grim grew up much like the rest of his village – poor, sometimes hungry, and skilled with a bow. He also learned from a young age how to properly fight with a spear, thanks to a retired warrior in the area.
At the young age of twelve, Grim's father died in a raid on the village. Grim then had to assume the role of the head of the family while his siblings grew up. It was during this time that he began to seriously worship Baldr, much like his father had. Three years later, his youngest brother succumbed to illness, and his death greatly demoralized the family. Five years after that, at only twenty years old, Grim left the village with his younger brother Ulf in tow. They went on to become part of their Jarl's fighting force for many years. During this time, Grim proved his worth as an able warrior, but more importantly as a leader of men. His brother Ulf quickly matured and grew up to be the most able fighter under their cruel Jarl's command. By now, at age twenty-eight, Grim began hearing talk of dissent among Jarl Knut's subjects and did what he could to fuel these fires. Less than a year later, and Grim had murdered his Jarl with the help of his brother, and took his position for himself, making Ulf his huscarl.
For six years, the province prospered like never before under Grim's able rulership. He had a head for diplomacy and quickly earned the loyalty and respect of the local chieftains. When Baldr's summons were made clear, Grim quickly assembled a small, but elite fighting force, left his younger brother Sven in charge, and made his way for Guldsten with his brother Ulf always at his side.

Name: Svana Olfräd
Title: Huscarl
Interests: Ascension and Honor in battle.
Favored Weapon: Long sword.
Appearance:
Svana is a young woman of only nineteen years, her body nearly without blemish with only few scars often hidden behind her leather armor. Her hair is rather long and unkempt, a natural wave to the auburn strands of hair. She has dark emerald colored eyes, streaks of gold speckled through out. Svana is rather slender though wrapped in strong muscle, an athletic build along with a feminine curve. Svana's entire right side is often covered in faded black markings that make her quite distinguishable.
Homeland: Jutland Peninsula, though born in a far off land.
Brief History:
Though Svana does not remember her origins what she does know is at a young age she was taken into slavery as her home was raided. She doesn't remember anything far enough before she was already a slave under the Jarl. She spend most of her life cleaning, cooking or sharpening the Jarl's blades. She had no hope in her life, having come to terms with her station in life without much to look forward to. Though her fate would come to fruition soon after her tenth year of life.
A raid came upon their village, most of the fighters kept back most of the assault but a few had infiltrated past the front lanes and came for the Jarl. Young Svana was hiding within the residence as the raiders began their searching. They found Svana, pulling her out from under a table and throwing her to the floor. The large man stepped closer as his large axes raised into the air, preparing to end the girls life. Svana seemed felt as if everything slowed down. As the axe began to strike down, Svana rolled away towards the table, grabbing a knife off the ground that had fallen to the floor during the scuffle. The axe dug into the floor with a loud explosion of force, though before he could recoil another strike Svana ran the man through the belly.
The raider choked on his own blood, the wound spilling out blood and covering the girls entire right side in its sticky warmth. (This is the reasoning behind her markings, a reminder of her first kill). By that time the Jarl had made it to the room, finding the blood coated girl and the remainder of the Raiders. He left the rest to rot on his floor before making his way to the servant girl. He only grinned. The next day she was taken to the barracks to begin training. She asked the Jarl years later why she was taken to become a warrior. He told her that he had saw a fighters spirit within Svana.
As time passed her skills grew and her devotion to the Jarl grew. Eventually to came to the rank of Huscarl. Eagerly following her Jarl into battle with her war hardened blade.

I got quite into this so I've done a CS regardless, hope you like and it's fitting for the RP. I know what you said about the kings and if you don't like how I've worked it then I've got no problems to change it to what you were thinking.
P.S - Sorry for double post and my theme tune is at the bottom :)
- Steinheim, City in the mists, Jewel of Österland -
The northern wastes are some of the most inhabitable places on earth, rivers freeze, plants wither, even the sun is reluctant to show itself. Despite all the hardships however, man has found the means to survive winters bite. Mountains of men, if you believe the tales, have gathered in the only known city of the north, Steinheim: and if you hang on the tales of some men, there is one the north has produced who has united the northern nomads. All the scum and exiles that find themselves clinging to life have been assembled into one band, one city.
The man responsible for uniting the North-men is one Kagan Völland. His claim as king is under the notion that his family was once the greatest in all the world, a fact disputed by all but his own. A beast of a man he was able to command a number of north-men through violence alone, but the more men he gathered the less he had to display his strength. In battle the red mist descends but without the sweet pitch of battle Kagan is notoriously cunning, and he understands the power of spoken word. Either to rouse his men or to spread the legend he wishes to become he is more intelligent than many give him credit for.
Believed to have been blessed by the gods, Kagan has not yet found an equal on the battlefield. Each swing of his beloved Ghröl, passed down to him by his father, clears swaths of men, crushing shield and bone alike. His men are some of the most resilient alive, having to cope with the harsh conditions of the north. They number few, they know naught but strive, yet under the banner of King Völland, they head south.

The world does not know our name, they do not know MY name,
A king rises in the north,
Remember this day,
For it is my beginning!

I can see it being a Mexican stand off, as we will be enemies but probably respect each other for having the same morals/aims/standards. It will make it interesting!
I don't believe we will be enemies haha We will all be allies called together to fight against some unknown force lol
