He's not a battle hardened warrior, and Im not even trying to parody one here. He was a normal dude plucked off the street. Now, he had already ran into death before. He had almost died as a baby, and his parents were eaten/killed by wild animals. Pretty traumatizing. He has what is basically the equivalent of deep seated anxiety, it goes way beyond normal nerves. Without Stribog there, he would have shat himself at the sight of Skallagrim and the big army. Im not saying the tough warriors are bad. I love reading them, and I even have one. I was just trying to do something different and play someone who would be able to grow throughout the RP. I know this is an Arena, and there isn't tooooo much room for character development, but I know this RP will hopefully be pretty long, and its just how I like to do things. Writing his fear so extreme was to give a good point to look now, and later be able to say "Wow, look how he's handling his fear and standing up for himself". Its the entire reason Stribog made him come here, though he doesn't know that yet. I hope that makes a bit more sense, and I do thank you for giving a more detailed critique. I admit, it was probably pretty naive of me, and not the best character to start off with
