Name: Sean Sviodson MacLaren
Age: 25
Race: Human
Occupation: Hibernian gallowglass; currently a member of the Savage Faithful, the elite shock troops of the Kingdom of Broddring, made entirely up of barbarians from beyond the Kingdom's borders.
Allegiance: The Kingdom of Broddring
Physical Description: Tall at six feet four inches, with the blond hair, muscle structure, and blue eyes characterizing his Scandian ancestry, Sean is an imposing figure in the chain mail he wears. A tight shirt, with short sleeves, it offers protection of his torso, while not cutting off the mobility he needs to be able to throw his throwing axe or slash with his sword. Long years fighting for clan, family, and king have given him several scars along his arms, while the kilt of his father's adoptive clan is made of wool. When not garbed for battle, the Hibernian wears a kilt of dark, muted colors, not meant to be flashy, with seaman's boots, his seax, and a shirt of homespun cotton.
His cheekbones are broad and sharp, another inheritance from his father. The blue eyes are a light shade of blue. They manage to impart a sense of warmth and love when directed at family, but when gazing at an enemy, only cold hatred is shown. Sean's jawline is rugged and covered with a beard of red. While most Alagaesian men go clean shaven, he's Hibernian, and nothing irks him more than having to shave.
His throwing axes, of which he has three have a haft of two feet, with a blade length of one foot. When thrown with his primary hand, Sean can penetrate a man wearing chain mail, with leather backing underneath.
His sword is four feet of Hibernian steel. It's single handed, so he primarily uses it with an axe in the off-hand. Double-edged, and inscribed with runes from Scandia, Sean was given it by his father.
Personality: A valiant and valorous fighter on the field, Sean is at heart a family man, like his Scandian father. His temper is very long to ignite, but when it goes off, the resulting fire lasts as long as four days, during which time Sean is short, curt, and ready to rip the first person that looks at him wrong to tiny pieces of flesh. All most always a gallant soldier, he enjoys making sarcastic comments to people who easily take offense; namely nobles. Generally, they can't touch him as a member of the Savage Faithful. Such members of the Savage Faithful are commanded by an Alagaesian who reports directly to the King; as such, if a noble wishes to trifle with a Savage Faithful, they'll be lucky to escape with their heads from the King's justice. Faithful are far more swift and demanding in their justice. Nobles that have fallen ill of them have been known to disappear, only to be found years later, in a shallow grave in the Spine. Sean has no stance on the ongoing conflict, other than that it presents an opportunity of employment.
History: Sviod Olafson is a Scandian barbarian, employed by the Boar King of Hibernia to protect him during the War of Boar and Eagle. Sviod successfully foiled an assassination attempt upon the man, and at the end of the war, was granted Hibernian citizenship, adopted into Clan MacLaren, and married the Boar King's daughter.
Born twenty-five years ago, Sean was raised by his mother until the age of five, at which point Sviod taught him manly pursuits, such as armed fighting, bare-knuckle boxing, drinking, hunting, and taking his adventures and exploits, and turning them into an epic of his life.
At age fifteen, Sean entered into service with his father, helping to protect the King of Hibernia. Three years later, the King had fallen in battle and Sviod was killed defending his body. Sean left the site of the loss, made his way to a port, where he promptly took ship for Alagaesia. Seasickness proved to great for him to overcome, and he spent the next three months puking his guts up.
Now newly arrived in Alagaesia, Sean has been hired by various nobles, merchants, and warlords to protect their interests; he spent his years from eighteen to twenty-three in this occupation. However, he was soon to find employment as a bodyguard for a king. Sean was found by a recruiter for the Savage Faithful, the elite shock troops forming the core of the human army.
Roleplaying Sample: Sean was standing at attention outside the door to the King's chambers. On the other side of the door was a fellow Hibernian; this one a red-haired green eyed member of the MacDonalds. The had exchanged greetings upon Sean's starting his watch, and now each ignored the other. Three throwing axes were tucked in Sean's belt, next to Brunhilde, his sword. Angrenost had several mistresses; the Faithful Guard had orders to allow them into his chambers at anytime. One such woman was approaching, and fast. Her dark hair was in a tumble, and she seemed angry. As she neared, both Hibernians bowed, then Sean opened the door and followed her in.
He stood in the shadows behind the mistress, and waited for the yelling to commence. It seemed she had found out about another one; Angrenost was really terrible at being discreet.
