Try is a scraping young man with long features that match his 5'8" height. Lean muscles to boot and build through his daily regiment; never gaining weight due to his extremely active metabolism that keeps him running through the woods like a jackrabbit. He's not as stout as most males in his village, but he's gained their respect with his cunning stealth and frisky ways in scouting, tracking, and fighting.

Mysterious hazel eyes with flakes of blue, dark brown hair that grows like willow-weed. When preparing for battle, Try will either braid it up and around his neck, or cut it shoulder-length, to keep it out of his way when sneaking or scouting. It doesn't matter to him because it grows so fast. However, not a blade will touch his maturing beard. Has a half arm tattoo of bands and various runes of protection around his left forearm, and rune tattoos from the nape of his neck down to the crack of his ass. Protection and runes of stealth, cunning, and intuition were placed upon him before he was old enough to speak the words. 

There are a few scars etching out several of the runes down his back - he's unaware of this edit, which can account for a few issues in his life right now. Also, on both forearms, there are healed scars of various sizes, and old burn marks that have healed into slightly raised scars. He keeps them wrapped, so no questions come of them.  

Temperament: Open-Minded, Reserved, Guarded, Instinctive, Disciplined, Protective, Selfless, Trustworthy, Focus, and Serious, but he is not without his moments of silliness; he is quite fond of being the silent prankster. He can be incredibly deceptive at times, but only when the situation calls for it.

Try has a habit of self-loathing and brood when under an emotional crisis. Overwhelmed, either he'll explode in unyielding rage, or walk away to avoid such, rather calming down and dealing with the problem. His hot-blooded nature is not normal for him - just something that's developed in the last year after his horrific encounter with a mad Shifter he ran across when mapping the lands around his village. He was kidnapped - kept locked away for several months until he was able to escape. He's never been the same since. Try keeps his emotions and thoughts mostly to himself; the only person he trusts is his fraternal twin sister, Eerika. But Try does open up towards those who earn his trust and his love, and he easily opens up whenever he's alone within nature or with the animals he manages. 

abilities: close-ranged combat fighter, rogue skills, sneak attacks, survival skills, herbology, geology/cartography, archery/daggers/short swords, two-handed combat, animal husbandry, ranching, leatherwork, tanning.
(Longbow, short swords, daggers)

precious belongings: The Thunderstone daggers given to him by his Great Grandfather before his passing. The tale connected to them is old and long, and quite frankly too farfetched to be true. But the more Try uses those daggers, the more he's becoming to understand the truth behind them.

Rika is of a slender build, muscular with a low level of body fat. She looks dainty, but judging her by looks alone can be quite deadly. This tiny viper packs a powerful bite. Blonde hair, hazel eyes, around 5'5" and 131 lbs. Has rune tattoos from the nape of her neck down to the crack of her ass. Protection and runes of stealth, cunning, and intuition placed upon her before she was old enough to speak the words.

temperament: Eerika is a very quiet, well-mannered young woman, calm and collected; observant, sly, and mischievous. However, the very air around her can quickly turn chaotic if the right trigger is hit. Meticulous, Diligent, Intelligent, and Analytical. She can, however, show her immaturity at times with certain topics that a young woman should know. She was mostly raised by her brother; therefore, missed a few milestones that he was not capable of aiding her learning. She's learned most from the women of the village, but still... all she knows is the seas, sword, and coin.

Oh, but don't attempt to oversell her - she'll wind up with your entire collection, along with your coin pouch, all for free and with no complaint. She's learned all about buying and selling from her merchant parents, knowing just how to weasel her way into a good deal - and gaining more than what was offered with the seller none the wiser. And if you attempt to undo her, you'll soon learn that she's just as adept as a shieldmaiden as she is a saleswoman. 

All in all, she's a happy sort but holds a sadness that eggs her into a fight rather than crying in the dark. Unlike her brother, Rika prefers to desensitize herself from her emotions, a feeling that builds her into a strong, stoic woman - like her mother once was. 

abilities: Herbology/Poisonmaking, Seawoman, Merchant/Trading knowledge, Two-handed weapons: short axes, short swords, sword and ax, sword and shield.

precious belongings: The Thunderstone short axes were given to Rika by her Great Grandmother before her passing. The tale connected to them is old and long, and quite frankly too farfetched to be true. But the more Rika uses those axes, the more she's becoming to understand the truth behind them.

[hider=Their Background:]

Within Sjöberg history, their ancestors were the ones within two famous folk stories: The Master Theif, and the Thunderstone. It is said that their 5th Gen Grandfather, Jørgen Sjöberg, a retired seaman who became a poor cottager, had three sons. His youngest, Try's namesake, was the famed Master Thief who proved his skills to the king's head squire for his daughter's hand in marriage. With abilities proven and happily married, he soon was hired by the king as his Royal Merchant, and he and his wife traveled around the world at the king's liking - acquiring many treasures at others' expense. Within his travels, Trygve acquired the very rare Thunderstone - a myth among men, it is a Prehistoric stone that is found in areas where lightning strikes. It is said to behold untold healing and protection properties. It can be used to create unbreakable weapons that loyally protect the wielder, and used for sigil jewelry to protect the wearer. 

Now Trygve and Eerika never truly considered these old family stories to be true due to the folklore tag now associated with them. But Try's older daggers and Rika's older axes, given to them by their great grandfather and mother before their passing, proved the story otherwise. Both are created with Thunderstone. They have never chipped, stained, cracked, molded, or weakened in all their years; and both weapons seem to be attuned to each of them in a sense that they don't have to think about them at all in order for them to claim their hands. For some odd reason, whenever they are in dire danger, those particular weapons just find their places within their palms. Strange, yes - but because of their significance and success whenever they use them, these items are their most sacred family treasures. 

They both are children of a generational curse that has followed them all their lives. The Master Thief stories are slight truth and false, which holds significance with those who believe in such old tales. Therefore, seeing Try as a roguish being, and Rika as a merchant, strangers who know the Sjöberg legends instantly assume they're too untrustworthy for business. They've gone through most of their young lives proving otherwise. Only those who have watched these two grow through their summers know they are as true to their hearts as they are to their words. However, for those who don't believe in the honesty of thieves and wish for them to prove themselves through blade and blood - they prove themselves just fine. 

Avoiding such personal battles these days keeps Rika landbound and Try hidden away. Rika's taken up learning herbology for healing and learning more about caring for dragons at the hatchery. Try keeps himself in the woods, learning about the abundance they offer their horde and mapping the lands around their village. He also tends to the husbandry of the various herds in the village, and aids in protection from outsiders through various traps tucked away - marked by runes only the horde knows how to decipher. 

The recent attack on their village took the lives of their parents. Rika moves on without mourning but seems to hate the world around her unless she's near the sea or focusing on her studies to veil those dark memories. Try blames himself for the entire attack - being one of the village's sharpest points - he failed to notice the oncoming attack, and even though his traps stopped plenty from entering the village by foot, the air attacks... Not many could see their coming - except for his keen eyes... But still, he missed those too. So, he's hiding in the woods or keeping busy in the stables and barns to keep his demons at bay.
