[atrb=border,0,btable][atrb=width,414,btable][cs=2] Kyte Hothmund Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

[cs=2] [style=text-align: center; font-family: century gothic; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #222222; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]FULL NAME Kyte Tor Hothmund ORIGINS Kyte's past is rather modest...at least to the viewpoint of vikings. He was borne on April 25th on the island of Berk. His father was one of many fishermen in the village. Since a dragons diet consists predominantly of fish, The sea fishing trade had experienced a huge boom now that they had been incorporated into Berk's culture. Kyte's mother on the other hand was a respectable shield maiden who participated in multiple battles against the aggressive Hysterians. When Kyte was 11, his mother was gravely wounded during one of these battles. After being in critical condition for 3 days, she slowly began to recover due to the steady hands and watchful eye of the Village Healer. However, the wound did not pass without its consequences. While Kyte's mother is still alive today, she is permanently disabled and cannot walk without a back brace and crutch. After this incident, life was made difficult for the Hothmund Family. Kyte's father was forced to quit the fishing trade in order to care for his injured wife. This meant that he could no longer harvest revenue for the fish and therefor had no leverage for trade. Thus the family had to earn that leverage by more modest, less profitable means. The Hothmund family often found it difficult to make ends meet, especially in the winter months. Luckily the friendly occupants of Berk were happy to aid them with food, clothing, and firewood. However, free handouts alone were not enough to fully support the family. After one year, Kyte decided to take matters into his own hands and help his family through this tough time. He felt that he was in dept to the village healer since he helped save his mothers life. Kyte pleaded with the healer to take him under his wing as an assistant, explaining that he would work for minimal compensation. His parents could use all the help they could get, even if only a little. The healer, while not overly keen with the idea of working with a child, took pity on the Hothmund family and accepted Kyte's offer for apprenticeship. Kite has been working under the Healer for the last 8 years and has helped his family out of their former rut. He also has succeeded in learning volumes of information in the art of medicine. Now he is 20 years old and skilled enough to act as village healer in his masters absence. He also discovered an intense love for nature while being sent on countless trips into the forest to gather herbs and other materials. Unfortunately his busy life as a healer had rendered him unable to attend dragon training academy, which is something he has always dreamed of participating in. However, he does watch the training sessions as an aid in case an accident occurs. He dreams of one day finding a wild dragon to tame and call his own...one he can share an emotional bond with... But at this point that dream seems as distant as the stars.

[style=text-align: center; font-family: century gothic; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #222222; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]OVERALL PERSONALITY

Kyte is very modest in personality and very hard to anger. He has a warm heart and is genuinely caring for others. Be it physical ailments or emotional problems, he always provides a shoulder for the people of berk to lean on.

Since a child, Kyte has been relatively mature for his age. Working as a healer in the harsh climate of Berk has taught him to appreciate life on earth and live it to the fullest, because you never know when it might be taken away from you. Because of this mentality, when he sets a goal, he doesn't quit until he achieves that goal. He is thus known to be headstrong and ambitious in his personal life. However, When dealing with strangers, he is very introverted and even cynical of people he does not know. He recognizes this as a personality flaw and is currently trying to give outsiders the benefit of the doubt.

Kyte loves Nature and thinks sleeping on soft dirt under a canopy of trees to be more relaxing than a soft bed indoors. This mentality coupled with his job duties of searching the forest for herbs has made him quite the outdoorsman. In order to retrieve important ingredients from hard to reach places he has placed a big emphasis on physical fitness and spends at least an hour per day, six days per week, of his free time exercising. He also trains in the art of Parkour, or Nature free running, and has become quite nimble over the years. He plans to use these skills to show the people of Berk the importance of having field healers in the midst of battle, one who is able to quickly move from one victim to another, provide emergency care, and help fight as well. This is also one of the reasons he is would like to one day train a dragon that is quick and nimble, but also he can share a bond with...However he is not sure if this will ever happen.

Overall, Kyte can almost always be found with a smile on his face. He enjoys the simplicities of life, even in Berks Harsh Climate.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

I didn't want to make Kyte some unrealistically handsom looking Viking, so I simply am basing his character model's appearance on myself (The writer). In fact, my profile picture and Kyte's main app image are of myself.
His hair color is dark brown and curly, though he usually keeps it short. His eyes are light brown and maintain a consistently soft gaze in most situations. Facial hair is kept minimal, but a heavy shadow can be seen in the late evening. His skin color is mildly tan due to the amount of time he spends outdoors. He is also physically fit and exercises six days per week with a recovery period on the seventh. Because of this regime, Kyte sports a lean and toned but not overly muscular body. His weight is 170 Lb and height 5"10'
Kyte's normal clothing is nothing out of the ordinary. He wears a manila cloth undershirt and brown hide heavy overcoat for cold weather, Standard brown cloth pants with a rope belt, and Black hide boots. He also can often be seen with a satchel full of herbs, a mortar and pestal, and various other medical Healing supplies. Lastly, Kyte is a southpaw, or left handed.

((Just to add further note. I am completely new to anything like written roleplay. This is the first time i have ever joined an RP board. I was just doing some internet search on HTTYD 2 and I found this website...figured I would give it a shot. I am sorry if I missed anything important or wrote anything against the rules. Reading through everything was a bit overwhelming... That being said I take constructive criticism well. I Hope you enjoyed reading this application.))

Looks overall good, it seems Ari's been teaching him a bit of Theraputix's stuff XD

I know what you mean, but i don't think Parkour is the correct term here XD but i'll let it slip, there's a few agile runner/jumper/climbers already so what's not for a little competition >:3 mwhaha

I think pimey wants to clarify something so i'll wait until he's had his say, but I think I'm pretty much cool with it ^_^

[style=margin-top: -6px; width: 260px; font-size: 12px; font-family: tahoma]None of these things are 'offences' really, truth is this is nitpicking, but they still feel big enough to mention.

I don’t think Vikings would let a family get into that level of trouble. Remember, villages communities are too small for there not to be people helping each other, especially with the kind of monsters the village has to deal with on. What we call poverty only really happens in bigger communities where there isn’t that natural safety net. Also, there is only one village on Berk.

[Kyte]

Gotcha.
I changed up the wording on said paragraph to dampen their amount of struggle.

"After this incident, life was made difficult for the Hothmund Family. Kyte's father was forced to quit the fishing trade in order to care for his injured wife. This meant that he could no longer harvest revenue for the fish and therefor had no leverage for trade. Thus the family had to earn that leverage by more modest, less profitable means. The Hothmund family often found it difficult to make ends meet, especially in the winter months. Luckily the friendly occupants of Berk were happy to aid them with food, clothing, and firewood. However, free handouts alone were not enough to fully support the family."

Let me know if it needs further change...Also, I'm sorry, but I cant seem to find where I made reference to multiple villages. Ive read it through a few times, I might just be overlooking it.
