Character Bio – Ozurr Hallkelson
Ozurr lives in a small village on the coast of England, it is a colony
and was settled by a raiding force led by Ozurrs father. Ozurrs father took him
on the journey, leaving his mother and sisters behind. When the colony was set
up a force was sent out by the natives to recapture the village, they were
defeated by the Vikings but unfortunately Ozurrs father was killed in the
fighting. Now Ozurr lives by himself unable to return to his old home. He sees
this village as his new home and will do anything to defend it.
Ozurr is young and is not yet old enough to fight for his village so in
the meantime he practice constantly to prepare himself for combat, his
over eagerness for battle is what will become his weakness but he doesn’t
understand this due to his naivete. The other more experience warriors know
this but they also understand that when he comes of age nothing will be able to
stop his brashness. Ozurr would leap into battle with no hesitation if he
was aloud but he understands and respects the rules of his people and honors his father’s wishes.
Ozurr grew up surrounded by the warrior’s lifestyle so since a kid he
has trained his fighting skills. He can fight with a sword and shield, and
spear, axes and even knows how to use a bow and arrow. His skills are
almost unmatched but he has no proper fighting experience to back this up. He
is confident, honest and is courageous. These are his best qualities but at the
same time his over confidence can be his downfall. This mixed with his courage
can often lead to predictability and being tactless. He gets along well
with his family but now is unable to see his mother and sisters, he got along
very well with his father and looked up to him. Almost all of his life morals
and things he knows he has learnt through his father.
Before his father died he gave Ozurr his sword and helm, the shield that
Ozurr uses he made himself and his chain mail was a gift from his mother before
he departed on his journey. He has very bright red hair which he inherited from
his father’s side and has a very stocky build. He lives on a full meat diet
pretty much and loves going out by himself to hunt for his own food. When he
was younger he saw his father fight off three drunken men after a scuffle at a
tavern and ever since that day he has striven to be like his father. While he
is a great warrior he was also taught by his mother how to read and write and
is one of the only men in the village with the knowledge to do so.
