Something just came to me—since you mentioned Skrælingjar in the OP, how will you depict them? Given the RP setting in the real Americas, will they be based on real Native American/First Nations peoples? And with that in mind, how do you see their conflict with the Norse being portrayed? I think that sort of a conflict is interesting to play with, but I'm a little concerned over the possibility of perpetuating settler-colonialist myths about indigenous people within the RP.

They will be based on real native proto-Inuit people /culture and their conflict we will try to reflect as accurately as possible. Obviously it will be a violent start and how your character decides to interact with native peoples is entirely up to you, but personally, my stance is to develop a partnership. If you mean settler/colonialist myths as being the European concept of it, then that would be incorrect since that was what, 18th century-ish and there isn’t much of a technological difference between the two peoples at this time. They should be respected warriors as you are dealing with people who regularly hunt large aquatic mammals to survive.
