OOC:
This is based off of Rick Riordan's 'Magnus Chase series'
Name: Bjorn
Age: 18, born during viking era
Gender: Male
Godly Parent: Freya, although he's inherited some powers from other members as the bloodlines of norse gods run strongly in his family. (kinda like Frank)
Occupation: Ex-Viking, Einherji at Hotel Valhalla
Powers: Bjorn is adept with sorcery,and has some use of rune magic. Because of his mother's ability to cry gold, Bjorn has the ability to sense the precious metal underground or inside objects. He is also able to use some necromancy, however he can only summon ghosts for a short time or use it to gain some insight into peoples deaths (this only works on the living). He also has some control over peoples emotional desires, however he hates using that power. Bjorn is also skilled at bowhunting, and is very accurate from a distance and up close. He's also impartial to cold weather to a point. and Despite having no connection to any sea gods, Bjorn is adept at navigating boats and charting stars.
Weapons: Unlike most vikings, Bjorn chose to fight with a bow and arrow as much as possible. He also keeps as many throwing knives on his person that he can manage, he also used the knives for hunting as well. While he prefers being at a distance,he is more than capable of fighting up close and personal with his fists or his preferred close range weapon, dual wielding axes.
Appearance: Bjorn would be considered handsome for a viking, with no scars marring his lean but athletic build. He has a lightly tanned complexion, from long days at sea. His face and body are speckled with freckles that at first glance seem to shimmer a light gold in the sunlight. His auburn hair is long and thick, ending just above is butt when it isn't braided, it also appears darker, almost brunette at the roots and a fiery red at the ends. His hair is almost always styled into a braided faux hawk with the sides of his hair tightly braided into two sections, and are braided into the top of his hair. These braids generally have golden beads scattered through them. Bjorn has a strong jawline and a sharp nose, his eyes are almond shaped with long eyelashes. And despite being a viking, Bjorn has not grown a beard, preferring to keep a short stubble instead.
Personality: Bjorn has a careless attitude, and can be very oblivious at times. The viking teen is also very inquisitive and generally cheery, despite being somewhat closed off about his past. However, he does loosen up around people after he decides that he can trust them. Bjorn also prefers working as a lone wolf, mostly from his practiced habit from when he would go bow hunting. The viking teen enjoys the company of others despite his quiet demeanor and also enjoys many comforts of the ever changing modern world. Bjorn is quite fond of video gaming in his down time when he's not out honing his fighting skills and powers, and he enjoys reading books and has even learned many new skills in the hundreds of years he's lived in Valhalla. Bjorn is also rather competitive, something he picked up as a result of having a twin brother. He is also fairly smart from his years of studying in valhalla.
Family: Fisk (Father, son of Skadi), Dagny (Aunt, Daughter of Odin), Bodi (Twin Brother, son of Freya)
Background: Bjorn was born in 912 AD, and was second in line to become the chieftan of his clan until his death in 930 AD. He died during a surprise skirmish with a rival clan, and soon after the skirmish was won, he had succumbed to his wounds and gained access to Valhalla. Over time he forgot the exact deeds that had gained him access in the first place.
Godly Heritage: Freya (mother), Odin and Skadi.
Plot: Y/c is one of the new einherji to Valhalla, who is put on the same hotel floor as Bjorn. Bjorn helps y/c out during the daily battle activities and getting around the confusing Hotel. The two become friends through these interactions. Eventually, Bjorn is sent on a quest with y/c and the two fall for eachother over the course of the quest, however neither of the two are aware of the others feelings by the time they returned to Valhalla. Although, the quest helped the two grow closer, they are still left pining for each other much to the annoyance of their floor mates who attempt to get the two together. (If you have any ideas for a quest, I'm open to them c:)
Note: The floormates are free for either of us to play, although if you want we can have an extra character to play as well for the plot
IC:
Bjorn was sitting around with his floor mates when he saw a Valkyrie leading a new face down the hall of floor 23, the group of einherji watched curiously as the boy was lead to the empty room adjacent to Bjorns. Briefly the viking teen made eye contact with the new guy, but quickly looked back at the board game he had been roped into playing with his floor mates. It didn't take long before the others began murmuring among themselves in curiosity. Soon enough, the Valkyrie flew back past the einherji gathered around the table, apparently finished with her tour. Bjorn got the gist of their ideas, smiling to himself "If you guys are so interested in the new guy, why don't we invite him to join us until dinner? Besides I think Mona has won this round anyways," Bjorn chuckled, gesturing to the female in question. There was a hum of agreement, but nobody rose from their seats. Bjorn rolled his eyes after a while, giving in to his friends as he got up. He set off down the wide hall, before finally coming to a stop outside of the door adjacent to his own room. The freckled teen glanced back at his friends for a moment and had to roll his eyes again when he saw that they were watching him. He turned back to the door, and raised his hand to knock. However, he never got the chance to knock as the door opened just as he raised his hand.
Bjorn lowered his hand after a moment, realizing he probably looked dumb, and he cleared his throat. "Oh, uh, hi. Welcome to floor 23. I'm Bjorn, my room is just across from yours," He started awkwardly, pointing over his shoulder with his thumb to his door in the brief pause. "I was- well, the others and I were wondering if you'd want to join our game of monopoly before dinner?" He finished gesturing back down the hall from where he'd just come from, quickly getting to the point of why he was there.
