How realistic do you expect to go? I've been doing a bunch of research on Viking combat and arms and armor, so I dunno how much of that I should apply. Or else how much I should point out other people's inaccuracies.

Relatively accurate. Keep the armour and weapons and items etc accurate as possible, but I can give some leeway on anything else that comes up. This isn't a documentary or anything. Feel free to add a little dramatic embellishment if you feel like it.

__________________________________
Personality: Jack is generally well liked around Hogwarts and Ravenclaw. Smart, can be funny, and doesn't have any flaws which would make people dislike him, Jack is popular among the upper-echelons of the Hogwarts society. But this creates a big divide between him and the 'less-enjoyable' compatriots of Hogwarts. Fiercely loyal to friends and acquaintances, Jack enjoys helping his friends as much as he can, knowing full well he's doing good to them.
History: Jack was relatively quiet throughout school. Only answering questions in class when asked or the teacher was beginning to look sad at the sea of confused faces, his professors took a liking to him. He excelled in most of his classes, all except Charms, where he would constantly perform the wrong technique. This is where he met Janet Groot. She helped him pass his tests, and he slowly began to develop a crush on her, and ever since the first year of school he has had a crush on Janet. Jack continued to work hard throughout school, only getting into fights where his friends were threatened. Jack passed all of his OWLs with good marks, within the top 10% of students.

Note: I'm beginning to see various similarities between some of the other characters here. If you aren't okay with that, Nevermind, let me know and I'll change it. Thanks.

Will there be any fantasy elements to this? Like, are the Norse gods real in our story, or is all myth really just myth?

No fantasy elements, but maybe acts of gods? Maybe some lucky miracles? No definitive real gods. Sorry.

OOC may or may not be up today, sorry about that.

The Path Ahead

So I've just posted, but it isn't quite as good as I would've liked. However, it's there. Thought I'd get a post in, just in case.

The Path Ahead

The phone was passed to Jojo. "Way to fucking piss in our corn flakes, Hannibal. Jesus Christ. Excuse my blasphemy, Saint Mikey." A new nickname. He grinned at his outstanding wit and sharp thinking before getting serious again. "Seriously though, get that shit out of here. I knew both of them." Max had been a frequent customer for his pranks, and would even pitch in his ideas when he had a good one. And Max was quick and very bright, so they were generally highly inventive and clever. But Jojo never used them though, not for spite, but for the name. He couldn't have competition, and he couldn't have Max running him out of business. The guy understood though, and for that Jojo would call him a close acquaintance. Sheriff DeLorenzo was a completely different matter. That man busted his balls for years. Couldn't do jackshit about his Annual Pranking Palava! though, so he would eye Jojo with distrust every time he saw him in public. Though only thing Jojo could do was return a wicked grin. It was a love/hate relationship.

But the images sickened him. He knew these people, and they were a living concoction of chemicals and organic materials. They had likes, dislikes, smells, deficiencies, and history. That, together, created a person. Now when one concoction ended the 'living' in another concoction, that seemed like faulty logic. He glanced at the phone again and tossed it to the next person. "As much as you think showing these pictures are going to prove to us that it happened, we don't need that. There are certain members here who -" Jojo glanced at Saint Mikey "- probably shouldn't be dealing with sensitive issues. Keep it on a minimum number basis for the now, some people are still raw." Jojo's sarcasm was leaving him momentarily and was being replaced by a deep-seated responsibility, a trait he had never possessed.

Jojo massaged his temples and could feel the blood pounding through his veins. A headache was coming on. He glanced around. Saint Mikey was weeping in the woods and Red Fox was awkwardly standing in his vicinity. Another kid, Henry, was still behind the night curtain. Lillah was freaking out. But God-damn, did Red Fox have a nice figure, He was just thinking about how he wouldn't mind being comforted by her when Lillah's words stirred him. "Shut up. We will be found if you keep squeaking. Of course it wasn't an accident! An army doesn't just waltz into a hick town and start shooti... An army. Our army? Because I didn't see any planes as if it were an international force, it just... happened. Are you implying this was the U.S.[ armies doing?" Jojo asked quite aggressively. She wasn't implying anything, of course, but Jojo had took a tiny seed of a thought and ran with it. That was how conspiracies started.

I love the tattoos. I think I may make my woman a tattoo artist. Like....I don't know...she's going to be an odd one.

The tattoos are fantastic. This should be cool!

How is it compared to GoT in terms of violence, and sexuality?

There is violence but there's very little bloody violence. Not very often do you see someone getting hacked by an axe and blood mist is present. However, that isn't a bad thing. You don't really notice the lack of blood, but it can get quite bloody when it wants to. There's about one scene of sexuality each episode, but not explicit at all. The most is a bare back whilst a couple is having sex. Some episodes it's only kissing. Maturely handled. A PG-13/12 rating. However, I've only seen the censored version. I don't know how the uncensored version compares.

It really is. Well-acted, well-written, really great action scenes. I can't praise it enough.
