Name: Trygve Hartvigsen
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Image/Appearance:
Trygve stands at 6'6 towering over many of the other warriors he has served with. He is extremely well muscled due to years of heavy training and combat with several scars over his body where the claws of the dire crab cut into him. His face is usually set in a rather stern looking expression, sometimes appearing intimidating to those who do not know him.
Title/Rank/Occupation: Warrior of Hakaskar, sometimes called "The Giantkin"
Skills/achievements/etc:
-(Above-Average): Warhammer and Shield, Trygve's massive size and strength allow him to wield his hammer in one hand while being able to defend himself with a shield, which uses offensively almost as much as defensively.
-(High Level): Endurance- Trygve is well known for his ability to fight and endure much more than the average warrior.
-(Poor Level): Sword and Thrown weapons- While Trygve can swing a blade and throw a spear with a lot of force his aim is quite poor. It is generally more dangerous to be next to the target he is aiming for than in front of it.
- Quite knowledgeable about the myths and legends of Valhalla and its associated gods, rather superstitious.
- Excellent singer though not many have heard him
-Has been caught in the Beserker's Fury once
Personality/(Dis)likes/hobbies/etc: While appearing rather intimidating in size, to his fellow human Trygve tries to be quite gentle. He is very slow to anger, usually remaining calm and levelheaded even when other's try to goad him. On the battlefield he tries to think defensively for his allies and rarely attack with all his might or ferocity. As such, getting caught in the Beserker's Rage has left him somewhat fearful of his own strength and he has been much more cautious of late. He loves listening to the stories of the gods, while at the same time rather superstitious. He enjoys singing quietly to himself careful not to let his comrades know lest they start to doubt his warrior nature. He inspires a lot of confidence for his allies and he is aware of it, taking many steps to protect and bolster his reputation to improve the morale of his allies.
Biography: His size has always led to tumors that there is giant's blood in him, however there is no such thing. His father was a warrior of Hakaskar and his mother a woman who moved from the land of Bellara. His mother died giving birth to him and with that kingside his massive size, there were rumors, albeit almost jokingly, that he had been cursed by a shaman or witch who had been angered by his family. While nothing of the sort occurred, he grew up with a rather well developed sense of superstition and easy belief of the supernatural. Once he became old enough to swing a weapon though, his reputation amongst the town changed to a more positive tone. He was brought along to fight the direcrabs from a young age alongside his father, his blows with his hammer could occasionally crack a shell in a single blow. Unfortunately in a recent hunt, his father was killed while Trygve fought with his team against several other of the beasts.
The death of his father hurt Trygve immensely and there on the battlefield, his fury awoke. When he finally came out of his trance several more direcrabs were dead, smashed into small chunks beneath his hammer, several of his allies were injured and the rest had piled atop him to hold him down. He spent two full weeks recovering from the incident, frightened by what had occurred and in mourning over the loss of his father. He decided that he needed a change in his life, at least of the scenery and joined the group traveling with Thorbrand to Ballara, the homeland of his mother. He joined with the group in Mjor and stayed there with the group for 6 months before they departed for Ballara.
Equipment: Poorly fitted armor (his size makes it difficult to find proper fitting equipment), Shield reinforced with piece of a direcrab shell, Warhammer, field rations, knife, extra furs and blankets
Other: Still dealing with bad headaches from his Beserker's Rage
