(Not too sure if this is good or not but any pointers are helpful. ^^)
Backstory - Hroi Tryggson, or Scout as he prefers to be called, left home once he finished survival training at the age of sixteen. Why? Well it's simple, neither the village elder or his parents let him keep a baby dragon, a Scuddleclaw as he later found out, because they said that they were monsters created by the gods of the underworld. What a load. How could something so cute and friendly be called something so horrid? Either way, that was enough for him to leave the village to learn more about these scalie creatures and what they really are like. In hindsight, it would have been a good idea to have brought more supplies other than water, dried meat, a knife, a short bow and a quiver with about a dozen arrows.
Scout's parents and the elder both consider him a deserter, he feels more like an outsider but that is old news. After living in the forest for about a year, he headed back to his village under the cover of the night. Why? Well to steal a small fishing boat of course. He wanted to leave the island for good so he did but that was six years ago. Not that he managed to get anywhere better. He found himself marooned on another island several miles west after a harsh thunderstorm. At least now he wouldn't have the temptation of heading back home since the boat was now firewood. He took this as a good sign, despite how bad it really was. He made a small hut from the larger planks of wood and some large leaves to keep the rain out. Still, it didn't change the fact that he was lost and alone, even though he wouldn't admit it.
A few weeks later, he discovers that he isn't as alone as he first thought. The island that he had washed up on was actually inhabited. He asked some of the locals where he might be. Apparently, he washed up on the edge of a village named Berk. What was more surprising though was that this village was filled with dragons but shockingly, they lived with the Vikings here! What an amazing find!
After spending some time in the village, Scout managed to get a job as the assistant to a blacksmith. It didn't pay well but it was enough to get by and after saving up enough money, he was able to afford to rent a room in a group home. It wasn't a great life but so far, it was a definite improvement from where he started a few years ago. Now, Scout is twenty-two years old and he's thinking about going to the dragon academy to learn more about dragon from somewhere that they aren't all seen as monsters.

Personality- Scout is friendly, or at least tries to be. He was raised to be respectful of others no matter what they are like though that didn't seem to apply to him at a young age. Still, you respect him, he'll give you respect in return. He enjoys sparring, its the best way he gets to know others and its a great workout. He also enjoys exploring camping. Nature is inherently relaxing and peaceful. He often goes out into the forest to just relax and clear his mind of whatever is bothering him. It just feels like there's someone out there that's listening even though it looks like he's alone.
Physical appearance- Scout is about 5' 11" and weighs close to 200lbs. He's hefty but a good portion of it is muscle. There's a little flab that seems to not want to go away but its minor. It doesn't bother him really though if he stopped eating chocolate, that flab might just go away. His eyes are a sapphire blue and his hair is charcoal black. It's medium in length and smooth to the touch. He often chooses to wear padded leather pants and cotton shirts with a padded leather jacket it. Though it bothers him when they get stained with something.
Weapon of choice- Short sword and shield or a sturdy short bow made of oak.
