Name: Erik Sveinson

Age: 22

Personality: Erik is a reserved young man who prefers to keep to himself, but by no means is he adverse to attending feasts and socialising among his clan. In fact, food is one of his favourite things. His quiet nature aids him in battle. While most vikings prefer to clash on the front line, Erik takes advantage of the confusion of battle and uses flanks to gain the advantage over his enemies. Being a bit smaller than most men his age, Erik has learnt how to use his size to favour him.

He has proven his talent in stealth and subterfuge. His aptitude for exploring makes him a great scout, and if you want to clear a path without making a sound then Erik is your man. While some might call his style of combat "dishonorable", he is far from it and if needs be he is not afraid to take someone head on.

Bio: The son of a fisherman, Erik was raised to provide and help whenever he could. Erik learnt the trade since he was able to hold a rod and he enjoyed it greatly. However, whenever he had free time then Erik would go sneaking off generally being a nosey brat. He had a fascination with getting into places he shouldn't be, just to see if there was anything people were hiding. While growing up, he found himself to not be as tall as his peers, and most depressing of all was the lack of facial hair save for a stubble that was growing. Although his actual hair grew to great length for a boy and he took pride with it's appearance, using a silver metal band at the end of his thick braid.

Erik discovered that while he may not have been the strongest or the toughest, he was definitely the fastest and quickest. When learning how to fight, Erik surprised many of his opponents with quick thinking and nimble footwork before tripping up his sparring opponent or slipping behind and putting a blade to their neck to achieve victory. Hearing the raiding calls, Erik felt he was destined to become a great warrior this way.

Equipment: Erik wears little armour so he can be as light as possible, save for leather armour pauldrons and braces, but he does bring two [url=https://southernswords.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/w/5/w501531.jpg]Seax's[/url] by his side. As well as that, Erik carries a small pocket knife for skinning and as a backup. He also has a [url=https://contestimg.wish.com/api/webimage/5bcace4567438427ebec5e04-original.jpg]black hooded cloak and a cloth as a face wrap[/url] to help blend in with the night when he's on a stealth mission.

Extras: He has [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/02/8c/a0/028ca0a18ecfa8555fceb81698874a20.jpg]this tattoo design on his right arm[/url].
