PERSONALITY: Oddmund's personality tends to fluctuate between the model viking and the exact opposite. More often than not, Odd chooses to do what's expected of him. He performs his duties well and without hesitation, doing his best to appear as a good future Chief. He's polite, helpful, and handles any situation that is his responsibility. On the other hand, Oddmund needs to blow of steam often, as he tends to find the tasks redundant and straining. He refuses to let down his parents and ignore what it is he has to do, but depending on the stress load, he'll run off into the woords once or twice a week with Halvard, dropping everything that he's supposed to be handling and spending the whole day in the forest.
Ultimately, he's a bit of a misanthrope. The constant involvement in everyone's problems that is expected by the Chief and his family has made Oddmund into the opposite of a people person. He can hardly handle his own issues but knows that he has to also take on the issues of the town. Since in the end, Odd does want to be a successful chief someday, he puts off his own problems for the sake of the problems of others. This coping technique usually results in depression and breakdowns when there is too much on his plate, since Odd leaves his own problems behind to get bigger and more out of control until he just has to run.
Oddmund prefers the animals of the forest to the members of his own village sometimes. He spends every possible moment he can with Halvard, the only living creature Odd truly trusts in the world, which is why when things get tough, he runs off with his dragon, without a word to anyone.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Oddmund is tall, even for viking standards, and more thin and lanky as opposed to the usual bulkiness of a viking male. His hair is short and spiky, almost impossible to keep neat and tidy, and is colored a dark reddish-brown. Odd's eyes are as green as the forest around the village of Berk which contrasts well against the color of his hair. His skin is pale, and freckled by the sun instead of tanned.
HISTORY: If you ask Oddmund about his life, everything he'd tell you would be a story involving Halvard, his dragon. Odd was born on the same day as Halvard. Halvards mother is the dragon that belongs to Oddmund's father, and her eggs began hatching the day before Odd was born. One egg remained whole for hours after the other eggs, only to hatch just as Oddmund was born. This dragon was given to Odd as soon as they were both old enough to be together. The connection was instantaneous, and the two have very rarely seperated. The longest time apart they had was a few weeks, after the pair ran into a wild Night Fury that apparently was far from friendly towards people. Oddmund had been out fishing with Halvard, and the Night Fury tried to steal the haul, and Halvard stepped in to protect Odd. The Fury was faster than the young Nightmare, and managed to do a good bit of damage before Oddmund could intervene. In the end, the two hobbled into town burned, bleeding and leaning on each other to have the strength to keep walking. Both Oddmund and Halvard required a lot of time to heal, and both ultimately ended up making a full recovery. In this span of time, Odd was subject to panic attacks from being away from his only friend. He'd never tell anyone, but after that day, he only felt safe when he was with his dragon. No one else- His father, his fellow villagers- could create the same feeling of security.
As for his alias, "Oddmund the Everchanging", that was bestowed upon him by the people of Berk as a whole. As mentioned above in the Personality section, Oddmund switches between dutifully doing his chores to running from them. The name in turn was created because Odd is never the same two days in a row. One day, he'll help construct a house, the next he won't show his face. Day after that, he's gladly assisting with Dragon training, and the day after that, he's shouting at the blacksmith for being asked to resolve a confict with a neighbor.
PARENTS, FRIENDS, OTHER FAMILY:
Father: Thorsson the Sturdy, Chief of the Village
Mother: Freyja the Sly
Younger Brother
WEAPON OF CHOICE:
Two-Hand Longsword
DRAGON NAME: Halvard
DRAGON TYPE: Monstrous Nightmare
DRAGON PERSONALITY: Halvard is a defensive Dragon, especially when it comes to Oddmund. Unless provoked, Halvard has no problems with anyone, and is glad to be around the village or in the forest, as long as he's with Odd. But in the end, Halvard is a Monstrous Nightmare. Piss him off, or gods forbid attack Oddie, and Halvard with be on top of you before you can realize he was even there.
DRAGON TECHNIQUES: Endurance, able to run for long distances and fly for hours if necessary. Halvard avoids using the showy set-himsefl-on-fire technique if possible, but if it's needed he will not hesitate to light up. Since Monstrous Nightmare's don't have front 'hands' so to speak, Halvards attack of choice is biting.
