• Guile: ---Sleuthiness and Rogue-like nature.
  <2-10> -Honorbound; aside from acts of war, Aeoric is unfamiliar with civilized devilry.
  

Virtues:

• Battle -Trained by his father and siblings from a young age, now having nearly twenty years of experience, he is vastly skilled.
  
• Smithing -Instructed and trained before even his bladesmanship, and growing simultaneously, he has considerable skill at the forge.
  
• Spirituality, Philosophy, and Lore -Born to a people venerating ancient traditions, he embodies the philosophy, and was raised with many of their stories.
  
• Survival -Born in the bountiful woods of wilds of the north, Aeoric was taught to survive in the wilderness. Though he is no hunter, he is skilled in braving the wilderness
  

Flaws:

• Magically inept -Save superstition, Aeoric has no handle on magic. He is unable to practically use it, and has difficulty in dealing with it.
  
• Improper and Informal -Aeoric's upbringing left him little exposed to rudeness, finer courtesy, bureaucracy, formal education, and advanced social structure.
  
• Susceptible to Treachery -Though keen to look over his shoulder, Aeoric is naive in the ways of treachery, and even more so, attempts to believe every man honest until he proves himself a rogue. This is doubly so with persons of the female gender.
  
• Scarring -Wounds stop at the body, and may heal. Terrors of an unnatural nature, or of mankind's own great evils, are often much more grievous.
  
• Nearly Illiterate -Many in Estavyr seem to learn their letters to a basic degree. Aeoric's comprehension of written common is poor to say the least. Often he reads out loud to sound out each character.
  

Aeoric Bladeturner is a fully grown man taking in the bold features running in the blood of his people. He stands at a height of roughly five feet eleven inches, with thoroughly muscled build honed from his life within the wilds and his work at the forge. Magnusson’s shoulders sit broadly upon his frame. His bold features run together with a strong facial structure set with a moderate jaw, undefined nose, well-set proportionate eyes, along with detailing features that can give a heartwarming smile its glow or his wolf-stare its potency. His features are set with a full beard, going into two split, well sized braids at either end of the chin.


Atop his head is an autumn mane of long flaxen hair, flowing wavy and strong, with a slight bit more wave at the ends. Sitting in their sockets are two deep green eyes with all the hue one could expect from the North. Upon this form, run several scars, suggesting to the dangers a Heimfolk may withstand; two scars in particular show on Aeoric: one running from the left brow - over the eyelid and down to the cheek, while the other goes from his chin, under his beard, up onto his right cheek. He keeps hold of most of his teeth, not perfect, but fitted and colored reasonably so due to good hygiene. All the while his imposing nature is backed by a fire in his eyes, and his voice beckons deep with the strength of the frozen north.




Born free under an open sky, away from the written chains of men and their stone towers; Aeoric has contained within him a particular nature of character. He bears a strong disdain against roguery, and law that protects such action; he is blunt, though careful with his words, accustomed to a world where written lines do not stay blades. He carries with his rough bluntness an honesty and a loyalty that stands true, as well as a particular moral compass that guides his swords. He adheres to codes of honor and philosophy over the written dogmas of kings and nobles, searching ever onwards for adventure. To survive in the world as the only way he knows, whilst delving into mystery and challenge; it is his hope that wherever he may walk, that a song be sung of him on the winds. To reach everlasting glory in the warrior spirit, to therefore find eternal peace.




Quality: Poor - Common - Reliable - Potent - Awesome - Epic

Weapons:

• Heimgardr Bastard Sword -A plain blade of Heimfolk make, it is sized well to Aeoric, very sharp, sturdy, and well kept. When used in one hand, it pairs well with a shield for reach and power. In two hands, it is a deadly weapon capable of finding the gaps in plate armor swiftly and with boneshattering strength.
  
• Heimgardr Round Shield -A plain wooden shield of circular design, bound in iron. It is very large, but surprisingly easy to wield, particularly in Aedelric's hand. It's rim can deliver brutal blows, and catch many more. It has a Triquetra painted upon its face.
  
• Heimgardr Dirk -A plain small sword of Heim make. It bears a well made guard, and is viciously pointed. Used in Aeoric's offhand, it is not purely defensive, it can place easily fatal wounds to the unwary.
  
• Javelin -A simple iron tipped javelin. This weapon can be used as a makeshift melee weapon, and can also strike viciously from long distances when thrown..
  

Armor:

• Heimgardr Weapon Shirt -A northern gambesson, made of thick wool, providing good padding and defense for weapons and armor that goes overtop of it.
  
• Heimgardr Mail Shirt -A sturdy work of chain done almost to the length of a tunic, this armor defends well against slashing blows, and even stabs, particularly so when used in conjunction with padding underneath.
  
• Heimgardr Fur Battle Jacket and Rough Leather Jerkin -A conjunction of armor well used by Aeoric. A thick fur and wool coat keeping his body warm, and also providing additional protection overtop of a rough-leather harness that can easily catch an opponent's weapon, before it even reaches the chain.
  

Misc:

• Smithing Hammer -A heavy iron hammer, like to smash through stone and wood with brutal heavy swings. Not intended for combat, but for use by Aeoric for trade; it can easily be made a weapon.a.
  

Spoiler:

Damn. Your character pages always make mine feel inadequate, Dom.

Very good effort on the page. I like it.

Something to note though is that Heimgardr has never had a place for any of the four seasonal gods that is so commonplace everywhere else. Their isolation has led to the pantheon being exclusive.
So Aeoric would either need to be very open and accepting of other culture, or have a specific reason as to why he would pay any heed to "the eastern gods".

Also if I can nitpick for a second, pronunciation for Magnusson would be "Mang-nuhs-sohn", at least if you're going for pronunciation in his native tongue.

Other than that the character looks to fit with the lore perfectly. Good on you.

Vikings is a sick show by the way.

Thank you for the pronunciation correction, I was rushing. = )

And, by respecting Myros, he finds the deity tolerable. He doesn't follow the teaching, or adhere to his standards; but of all the Eastern gods, he can at least understand this one, and those that follow him.

Excellent effort and a lovely format as ever.

Gonna give you a pass on this one, my son.
