[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 Greetings, my names’ Ethelwulf Vuldritch or Ethel for short. My name means of Noble heart or noble one. Why I was named this; I might never know why, but like my name, I am very noble and proud to the core. ORIGINS My origions started around the beginning of autumn, my birth of course. 19 years I have lived and thrived through trials of everyday life. My birth placewas land after land away from Berk. As in very far away, in a small section of the world called 'Dark Thorn Forest' , I've been raised by my mother; my father is obsolete so I know nothing about him, but my mother said he was as pure as any man could be. I’ve been trained in the arts of sword combat and bow and arrow, along with a few other such choices but the main weapon I use is my black Bow crafted with large dragon horn designs. My dragon is a great Fell Beast named Leroy; I’ve trained with him for over 4 years since I saved his life and we’ve been inseparable ever since that faithful day. When we first meet, I was only a little lass of 12 years, it was my whole family and the village who was chosen to clean up after a mighty war had ceased; we were to clean up the many bodily parts and broken helms and clattered swords and burn the pill to the ground. When the soldiers of my village, who also accompanied us, found the foul smelling varmint scurrying about in the mess of shattered and broken things; the little beast was feasting on the dead flesh, and he had looked ravished of any food. The soldiers had tried to kill him; seeing as he had no other of his kind around, he looked sickly and abandoned;they were throwing rocks at his head and trying to jab the tip of their swords into his vulnerable hide. I was the one who ran in-front of them, with my not so good of a shield, and blocked the attack. When my shield broke and fell to the ground I cradled the creature but held his muzzle so he would not lash out at me; yet his tiny claws on his hind legs and spikes did scraps and scratch my arms and legs. Everyone knew if a fell beast hatchling was left behind then it was for the survival of the race, discarding the weak to die on their own; as was this little ones fate. There had been many reports on fell beast and other dragons abandoning their chicks if they felt the chicks would not make it. The soldiers who saw me cradling the creature sort of backed away, as they knew my father was one of the high councils to the king long ago before he passed away. My mother had frozen where she was, completely awe stricken. The soldiers left me be, but gave me the most unholy and disrespectful looks; as if I had done something terribly wrong. After that, the small creature I had in my arms had calmed down a tiny bit. His eyes were looking straight up at me, as if he sensed I had done something. It would take a number of months for him to open up to me. He snapped whenever I came near him and crackled an odd type of roar at anything he saw move. With slow patience and gentle yet firm grasp, the bond we grew became to show to everyone else in the village. When he grew bigger however; everyone else feared him and the foul smell and might he possessed. Some called him the Fell Beast, as what he originated from. But those things were foul evil creatures who did the dead’s for the Evil king long ago…I believed Leroy was just a bit different than the rest. GENDER & SEXUALITY I am a Female and I’ve been known to go to either gender. OCCUPATION I’ve been trained in the arts of Sword and Bow , mastering all my classmates and eventually my mentor. I wish to be a Great Warrior in the next land I come across. TRAITS [/style]

Ethelwulf is generally a Strong-willed and stubborn young lass, noble to the heart but mischevious to the core. She’ll do anything to mess with you cause she in the mood to screw around. Being hard headed and hot tempered is some of her flaws, but that's how she is; she can’t exactly hold in her anger as she always takes it out in combat. Getting past her hard outer layer would mean she'd trust you enough to get close to her.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

She is of average size; about 4’6” height and 130 pounds. Her hair is cut to a medium length and is a dirty brown color with natural light brown highlights. Her facial is soft yet stern in appearance, the look of determination and seriousness drawn on her face almost always. Her eyes are a deep emerald green color with lighter green near the iris; long pointed ears that she has no idea where they came from. She has a broad chest and decent sized breasts, torso a bit pulled in and long slender but powerful legs. Her arms are a bit longer than normal and same goes for her fingers; dainty and skinny. From the many years of battling and training on her own behalf; she is physically fit like an athletic build, muscles bulge slightly when she moves to show even pass-byers that she is not to be trifled with. She will wear thick leather pants that are stained black and a wolf's coat around her chest and torso, long thick gloves that go to her elbows. There's a small necklace around her neck with a small wolf on it. And her boots are slim and light, easy for her to get through the snow if needed. She will almost always have her bow slung around her shoulder and a handful of arrows in her quiver, both are black and riddled with red markings.

This app looks really great, there's just a few things that will need tweaking to fit into the world we RP in:

A date really isn't necessary; the date of httyd isn't set in stone, and since we have no idea what year it is, it's okay to ignore that aspect. Besides, 1994 is a strange date, since we're talking about Vikings here

What's with all the amnesia? How could an adult, especially parents no less, forget the place where they made a child together and bore her into what she is today? It seems so silly that they'd forget! You don't need to be into specifics, you can just make up some name for an island that's in the Barbaric Archipelago and say no more about it. Though she wouldn't remember her place of origin when she was little, surely her parents would tell her the name of the place she came from? And why did they move in the first place? Are they deserters?

I dont think dragon horns are flexible enough to be used as a bow entirely. Perhaps it has dragon bone/horn decorations on it instead?

How does a lone, hatchling fellbeast find it's way into the middle of a battlefield, and have no mother nearby to raise it?

Ethelwulf has way too many varying personalities. How can she be serious yet playful? caring yet harbour great anger (that is caused by...?) Someone angry and serious isn't the correct demeanour for a healer. Being playful and caring is not the correct demeanor for a warrior.

Which brings me to my next point; I think you should pick one job or the other - at the least, be a on-the-field healer? it's strange to have such death-symbol-dragon with a healer lass, the majority of people specialise in one domain and be very good at it, rather than spread their skills and be mediocre or bad in all of them.

We don't really allow classic fantasy-esque armour on here. Vikings made things that were made to be strong, and aethetics came later. Even then aesthetics were simple. Just take a look at the Ulfbert sword, a famous Viking weapon. So I'm sorry but I'm going to have to say no to the black armour encrusted with gems all over. (Vikings didn't exactly wear suits of armour, anyways, even in httyd when they go to battle the Green Death... see what I mean?)

Thanks for taking the time to consider these changes. I'll come back and look when you let me know you've fixed things so I can look at it again. Come chat with us on the cbox, there's always someone on at some point, even if you just say hi and leave to do other things, someone later in the day may come and we'll be able to see that you've been here

[Ethelwulf]

I fixed it is it any better?

[REDKITEBAIT]

you're just missing a trait from the strengths, the minimum is 4

to answer the question you asked in the dragon info page, I mean respect by being true to what you have described - so when you say "The only one he will not attempt to take a chomp at is his trainer; Ethel."and compare it to what you wrote in other information "Dangerous and unpredictable, these dragons can lash out at you for no reason, trained or not." it'd be cool if even though Leeory is 'trained' per se, it could occasionally have a snap at his trainer, whether it wants something from her or doesnt have any other stress doll nearby… or i dont know XD its up to you I guess… I guess that's more of a heads up too lol

[Ethelwulf]

Lol yeah like he's just not one to trust fully, I get it and I will do so, and I'll fix the strength thing and do the dragon form once this is approved

[Ethelwulf]

Fixed a little bit more, hope this gets approved (Do they have to be vikings? Cause i had the whole idea of her keeping a secret/lie to them that she isn't a viking but she doesn't exactly know what she is either.)
