((Great Idea Btw))
Name: Aric Landvick

Approximate Age: 28

Affiliation: NA

Race: Norn

Profession: Mesmer
He is known as the Merciful Shadow. He is known by this name because he suddenly appears, helps where he is needed, then is gone with out a trace. He also seems to only kill those who he deems evil, sparing anyone else around them.
Appearance
He is very tall for a Norn. Unlike many in his profession, he is not morbidly obese. His nose is flat and mangled like it had been broken many times in the past. His arms are covered in strange tattoos and for some reason he tries his best to hide them from those around him. The mask he wears looks as if it had been worn for many generations before he wore it. Very few can claim to have seen his face and few still can remember what he looks like.

History
Youth
He never knew his father or his mother. He was left in the woods when he was a baby and found by an old man who raised Aric as his own. The Norn raised Aric in a small compound, high in the Shiverpeak Mountain. The man was a mesmer by trade and taught young Aric all he knew of the profession. Oddly, the man never told Aric what his name was. This upbringing caused young Aric to be very anti-social.

Early Life
While he was out of the compound one day, grawl attacked and killed everyone inside. Horrified with what he saw as his fault, since he was not on guard duty like he was suppose to, Aric called to the Spirits of the Wild to give him the power to protect those around. The Spirit of the Wolf heard his plea and granted his request. He would be given the gifts of Wolf and the powers he wanted, but he would be marked with a tattoo for every person who had died due to his failure.

Current Status
Rumor has it that the Shadow has been spotted in the city of Lion’s Arch, never in Hoelbrak though. The reason for this is that the Shadow’s hideout is in a unused part of the sewers of Lion’s Arch . There Aric lives when he is not seeking those who are being harmed or wronged. He lives there with the only other two people in all of Tyria who know his face, a Skritt demolitionist named Clemm, and an Asura inventor named Qixxic.

Affiliations
Guilds and Groups
The Tenacious Affliction. He is a tactician and scout for the guild due to how good he is at escape from his enemies and infiltration. He very rarely does other things with them.
Family and Friends
The only true friends are his two confidants Clemm and Qixxic. He saved them both from dredge and the Inquest respectively. They agreed to help him in his task.

Personality
His sense of justice is his biggest flaw. He has been known to risk his own life just to save someone. He is kind but aloof to those he meets.
Temperament
He will only kill those he has to kill.

Quirks
Other than his strange sense of morality he is surprisingly stable.

No Cigmar travels the land in search of a place to make a name for himself. He has come to mistrust humans almost entirely aside from a select few ho actually haven’t tried to kill him. He lives where ever he can ly peacfully, thus would e the life on your own. He yearns to carry on his fathers legacy of a fabled fighter.

Approximate Age: mid 30s

Affiliation: NA

Race: Norn

Profession: Warrior, Dornhilde travels the Shiverpeaks aiding those that do not have the strength or skill to defend themselves. all she will ask in return is a bit of coin and perhaps a place to lodge for the night. she has begun to feel as though there are none left in the Shiverpeaks to equal her skill and harbors aspirations to travel Tyria and test herself against the unknown.

Appearance: She is tall for a Norn maiden and her skin is fair as the snow on the mountain, but her flowing red hair is nearly as famous as her skill with a blade. on the coldest nights the Sons of Svanir huddle around their campfires and whisper of the Red Lady, tall and terrible, pale of countenance with hair like a river of blood and fire.

History/Youth
Dornhilde was the daughter of simple farm folk. her childhood was quiet and simple enough until one night a travelling sellsword came hobbling up to their home badly wounded, her family treated his wounds and welcomed him into their home until he was well enough to recover. while he was bedridden, Dornehilde would sneak into his room and listen to the tales of his adventures, rescuing maidens, fighting bandits, exploring ancient tombs. these tales sparked a wanderlust in her heart that only the long winding road would abate. when he was well enough, the sellsword taught her the finer points of combat and how to use various types of weapons.

Early Life: Dornehilde’s family farm was attacked by the Sons of Svanir one cold and wintery night, after grabbing her grandfather’s warhorn and blowing it with all her might, she fought them off until help arrived, but her parents had been killed in the struggle.

_______________________________

Name: Akna Svellfiskr

Approximate Age: 24 (as of 1326 AE)

Affiliation: Order of Whispers

Race: Norn

Profession: Thief

Younger sister to Ashald Svellfiskr, a Crusader who fell during the final push against Zhaitan, in Arah, Akna finds herself mixed up in the affairs of her sister’s partner from the Vigil, Basil Wilding.

Appearance
Standing at 6’ 8", Akna is considered short, by Norn standards. Aside from her hair, she resembles her mother the most. Her body is well-built thanks to years of hunting and training. Her hands are also rough from being a leatherworker.

History
_ Youth_
Akna and her older sister grew up on a homestead between the Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau, not too far from Cragstead. The sisters were quite close, but were very competitive. It was not until they were 10 that they understood that they would not best the other in certain areas. For Akna, her sister would never match her with the bow.

Early Life

Akna stayed behind, in 1320 AE, when her sister joined the Vigil. Instead, she continued to hone her skills as a leatherworker and hunter. Over the years, she exchanged letters with her sister, who went on great adventures. It was through thee letters she first learned of Basil Wilding, who became her sister’s new partner in 1325.

Current Status

The last letter exchanged between Akna and Ashald was before the latter went to Orr to fight against Zhaitan with the Pact. After Zhaitan’s defeat, she learned her sister had perished, when Basil came to their homestead, bearing bad news. This created a cold barrier between she and Basil, until they met again during the battle against the Karka in Lion’s Arch and on Southsun Cove. Her actions during this time garnered the attention of the Order of Whispers, who left an open invitation to their organization.

When the Molten Alliance made itself apparent, her home was attacked. It was fortunate she was there, or her parents would have been taken. Her mother, however, had been injured during the attack. After hiding them, Akna sent a message to Basil asking for his help in escorting her family to Hoelbrak. This meeting was on much more friendly terms, and Akna’s parents were impressed by Basil’s combat prowess. When they arrived in Hoelbrak, they were forced to go to Lion’s Arch. After this, she wanted to strike back at the Molten Alliance as revenge. Thus, she joined the Order of Whispers.

Affiliations

Order of Whispers- Akna is currently an Agent of the Order with no partner. As a leatherworker, she made her own, customized version of their armor, which she felt suited her more. Her first investigation was to observe the Molten Alliance.

The Pact- By extension, by joining the Order, Akna is now involved in the battle against the Elder Dragons.

Family and Friends

Akna’s mother and father are just your typical norn family. Her mother traveled more, when Akna was a child, but when her father had a hunting accident that gave him a bad leg, she returned to help around the house. Due to Akna and Basil’s distrust of the Consortium, they are living in Basil’s empty home in the Salma District.

Ashald Svellfiskr— Akna’s sister, two years her elder; Guardian. Gravely wounded during the final battle in Arah. She went missing after the final battle, but due to her wounds, has been pronounced KIA.

Basil Wilding— This 21 year old (as of 1326 AE) ranger was the former partner of Akna’s older sister. Although their relationship was platonic, Akna knew her sister greatly respected him and saw him as her equal. After the Karka Incident, he was promoted to Warmaster. His faithful companion is the fern hound, Witherfang.

Akna’s opinion of Basil has greatly changed for the better, since his aid in moving her parents. One might argue she might be developing a crush on him, after he impressed her not once, but twice—the first when he saved her life on Southsun Cove. Since then, the debt has been repayed, when she saved his life more recently.

Personality

Temperament
Akna’s a bit rough around the edges and can be very direct. However, this is mostly because she fears the unknown. When she hunts, she knows what she’s hunting. She likes to be in control. She also has a “suck it up” mentality. She rolls with the punches and tries to make due.

Quirks

Akna’s got this knack for hitting people she cares for. An example would be her punching Basil’s shoulder several times in response to him entering a Molten Alliance weapon’s facility alone and getting injured.

Leatherworking for her is like sewing to the human housewife. She does it to pass time and for recreation.

Name: Fae (pronounced as in FAY) Oddsdottir

Approximate Age: 24 (beginning of the game)

Affiliation: NA

Race: Norn

Profession: Elementalist

Fae is the younger sister of Gyda Oddsdottir and cousin to Gullik Oddsson. She has yet to make a name for herself and hasn’t been adventuring for very long.

Appearance
Fae is very short for a norn. Wherever she goes, people ask her if she really is a norn, or they think she hasn’t grown yet. She isn’t very muscular or chubby. All in all, she looks like a bigger human woman. She has dark blond hair which she usually keeps in a ponytail. Her eyes are green. She has tattoos on her neck, arms and legs (I think).

History

Youth
Fae was a happy child troughout her life. She didn’t grow up with her sister though, because their parents split up soon after Fae was born. She went to live with her father, who made his home at Frostcreak Steading (Icevine Dale, Wayfarer Foothils) . Fae didn’t have much contact with her sister Gyda or their cousin Gulik. She and her father kept to themselves. When Fae was about 8, her father Gale on one of his hunts found a 13 year old boy, deeply wounded. He took him in and together with his daughter they took care for him. His name was Crag and he grew fond of Fae and Gale and decided to live with them. You might say he even developed a crush on Fae. They all hunted, drank, sang songs, told stories and lived happily untill Gael decided to go assist Hoelbrak in the fight against the dragons. Fae and Crag suspected there was a different reason for it and a while after went looking for him. He was nowhere to be found.
Fae had always been interested in magic so it’s no wonder she became an elementalist. She recieved her training in Twinspur Heaven.
When she was very little, she dreamed of the Spirits and Raven was the one who spoke to her. She had followed him ever since.

Early Life
Fae and Crag were eager to find missing Gael, but they couldn’t both leave the steading, so they decided who’ll go on a classic norn way – with a brawl. Crag had won that one, but the very next day trolls attacked the steading and Crag was wounded. It would take some time to heal, so plans changed and Fae was the one to leave. She bid farewell to Crag and set off. Her first stop was Hoelbrak, where she inquired about her father, but few knew what happened to him. She is still gathering clues and questioning people, never losing hope.
Fae earned money by doing some good ol’ honest work or selling hunting trophies.
When she didn’t look for her father or hunt, she would read or practice with magic.

Current Status
As of moment, Fae is travelling the world, making herself useful and aiding those in need of help. She hopes to find her father and prove to others she is a hero worthy of songs and stories!

Affiliations: NA

Guilds and Groups. NA (at the moment)

Family and Friends
Gale Odsson – her beloved father, whom she adores
Freya the Horrifying – her mother. She hasn’t been in touch with her for years.
Gyda Oddsdottir – her sister, who died in the ruins of Divinity’s Reach. Fae wasn’t very struck by her sister’s death, since they weren’t in good relations. Whenever they were together, Gyda would pick on Fae because she was so “tiny”.
Crag Wilcrucks – Fae’s best and only friend. She truly loves him.

Personality
Temperament
Fae always has a smile on her face and doesn’t let things bring her down. She is never afraid of anything. If her loved ones are in danger, she won’t hesitate to rescue and defend them. She likes to drink, brawl and boast (not always in that order) as the next norn, though she knows when to be cautious and reserved. She likes to help strangers and friends alike. Fae’s life-time wish is to fly.

Quirks
Fae is unusually calm in stressful situations and always keeps a clear head. She believes Raven has bestowed her with a gift – a strong and developed sixth sense.

Name: Tyr Snowmane

Approximate Age: 62

Affiliation: Order of Whispers, Pact, G.I.G.A.

Race: Norn

Profession: Engineer

The flamethrower is this old Norn’s best friend. He likes to burn things until they are crispy and he enjoys eating some of his freshly grilled opponents. He has lived 40 years in the Mists, to be more precise, in the Mad Realm, which left a toll on his mental health.

Appearance
Like every Norn he is tall and strong, however not as tall or strong as other male members of his species. His face is wrinkeled and covered with a white beard, his long white hair is knotted into a braid. His overall appearance is gruff and battle hardened.

History

Tyr Snowmane was a young Norn, when he first encountered the Asuran engineer Krugg, on a hunt. Krugg and his Krewe were attacked by Jotun, which Tyr helped to chase off. Sadly Krugg’s assistant was killed and his Golem destroyed. However the asuran scientist agreed to use the young Norn as his new assistant. Krugg was exiled from Rata Sum since his experiment was deemed to dangerous. He chose to do it in the shiverpeaks, because only idiotic bookahs lived here, so if it went wrong, nothing of value was lost.
However while working on his project he realized that Tyr was incredibly intelligent… for a bookah, he simply lacked the magical understanding to use Asura technology to full effect. Deciding to test his assistant’s abilities, he gave him some scrapped charr technology he aquired over the years. It turned out that Tyr was a gadgeteer genius and he soon build various tools and weapons out the given material, among them a flamethrower.
Finally the set up for the experiment was completed. Krugg tried to create a stable portal into the Mists, like the human mage Lord Odran did centuries before. And it seemed to work. Confident in his abilities Krugg pranced through the portal, followed by his stalwart. Unfortunately they ended up in the Mad Realm. The portal closed behind them meaning they were trapped.
Krugg quickly succumbed to the madness, Tyr however kept his sanity long enough to flee on fateful Halloween day, when the barricade between the Mad Realm and Tyria was at it’s weakest. Little did he know that this would also bring back the Mad King, a few years later.
Devasted by the experience Tyr decided to devote his live to a cause, in honor of his asuran Mentor. He would become a legend, fighting by using technology, instead of brute strength like kin does.
And thus begun the legend of Tyr Snowmane, Norn engineer.

Current Status
Tyr wants to prove that you can accomplish anything with a keen mind and you don’t have to be a tough warrior to be feared on the battle field. So far he build quite a reputation through killing Issomir; bringing Destiny’s Edge back together; fighting his old jailer, Mad King Thorn; fending of the Karka and Molten Alliance and even killing an Elder Dragon.

Affiliations
He is a member of the Order of Whispers and naturally also the Pact. Further he is also member and co-leader of a very old and honorable guild, led by a Sylvari guardian, an asuran necromancer and him. This over 250 year old guild is only know by their acronym G.I.G.A., the meaning of it is unknown to outsiders.

Family and Friends
Tyr was a loner before he met Krugg, who was something of a farther figure to him. Besides that his closest friends were/are Tybalt Leftpaw, Eir Stegalkin and his fellow G.I.G.A. members.

Personality
Tyr is quite prone to rage and he can get pretty violent if someone dares to hurt one of his friends, but overall he is a rather “gentle giant”, who just enjoys burning things that he doesn’t like. If he is your friend, he will be loyal and protective.

Quirks
Tyr does reveal a darker side when the full moon shines through the clouds. It said to be a post-traumatic-stress-disorder symptom from being stuck in the Mad Realm for 4 decades. He becomes quite feral and lunatic during these hours.

Name Vlad Mortis (formerly Brol Grogson)

Approximate Age 40

Affiliation Order of Whispers

Race Norn

Profession Necromancer

His name will echo throughout the shadows. He is the monster who fights monsters.
Sons of Svanir see his name as a curse word.

Appearance
He is a tall Norn, wide bodied, with short unkempt blonde hair and dark eyes.
His face is traced with many lines due to weather and combat.
He always carries a backpack that looks like a sack of toys and a scepter wand that has a pink star on it.

History
Youth
Brol was a simple Norn child before his life changed. He played and hunted with his family.
His father was a fine metalworker and sold meats to make extra coin.
His mother’s reputation as a wonderful tailor and leatherworker became an activity he enjoyed as well.
He had no siblings, but plenty of other children from nearby families served as proxy.

Early Life
Brol’s life as a young man changed forever with the death of his friend Val Ogdendottir.
They were trying to hunt a wolf and show their parents they were ready to strike out as adults.
During the hunt things went well until they finally realized the wolf was leading them to its pack.
Both managed to kill the wolf and drive away the pack, but Val was hurt badly and dying.
Brol was frantic and urged her to hold on as they made their way to the homestead.
It was at the homestead that the people living there realized Val was already dead, but moving because of Brol’s urgings. He didn’t notice that he raised her up from the dead briefly in his state of fear for her and his love.

This sickened her family and frightened many, but his father took the young man to a Raven Havroun.
The Havroun confered with the others and decided the boy must walk with Snow Leopard. This potential of his was mighty, but also deadly; Raven smiled on the boy but Leopard must nurture him. He had good intentions trying to help Val, but he needs to spend some time on his own for fear of repeating that again.

The boy never knew of Orr, Zhaitan, or the Risen. Yet the Shamans were worried he could be corrupted. The boy known as Brol Grogson changed his name to Vlad Mortis because he saw that young man as “dead” when Val died and needed to be reborn. The name Vlad came from a human merchant who was always kind to his parents.

Current Status
He hunts alone in Tyria now, he joined the order after the Elder Dragon’s fall. After Zhaitan’s fall, he decided to hear the stories of those heroes at Lion’s Arch during Wintersday.
After purchasing a toy bag and a pretty scepter some human found it funny to mock the big Norn buying such a strange things. It cost that human two teeth and Vlad was arrested. When the Lionsguard woman came to collect him, she didn’t have any cuffs or manacles but he went with her offering no resistance. After she inquired why he didn’t run he simply replied, “You faced someone bigger than you, but I saw Snow Leopard laughing at that danger in your eyes. I respect that, so I followed.”

Affiliations
Guilds and Groups
None. He walks the path of Snow Leopard.

Family and Friends
His family hasn’t spoken to him since the “death” of his previous life.
He wishes them well and prefers to patrol the Shiverpeaks attacking Sons of Svanir to protect homesteads like his former one.

Personality
Temperament
He is rather flippant about the divide between life and death in some moments.
Out of all the Humans he ever heard about he thinks Grenth would be the best one to ever meet.
He does respect those who stand their ground. As with the case of the Lionguard, Vlad took his time in jail to sew together a small doll from cloth scraps and straw. He presented it to her as a gift when he was released. He uses leatherworking and tailoring as hobbies to calm his mind when things get crazy. He shudders and hates the Risen because of his past.

Name: Covert Agent of The Divine (An English translation from another language)

Approximate Age: He will always look between late teens and early adult. His real age cannot be accepted by most.

Affiliation: Order Of Whispers

Race: Norn

Profession: Mercenary

Appearance
He looks like any other Norn accept that if anyone noticed, his head is slightly smaller due to his mixed heritage that can be traced all the way back to Cantha; he bears an almost similar name to his ancestor from Cantha.

History
Youth
He spent his time mostly with the wild. He could not mix well with people in his youth as they find him strange. It did not occur to others that his mind is of an ancient entity but in the body of a youth.

Early Life
He wandered the lands and learn about the people in them. He aid many in the shadows. As a warrior for hire he turned the tides of losing battles by doing what many consider to be insignificant in winning wars. When not under any contract he spends time with women, eating pies or anything that can stuff into his mouth and guzzling it down with several mugs of alcohol mixed with yaks milk. His hobby then was hunting down those who did him wrong and make them eat his manure.

Current Status
He is now prancing around in Tyria being a gutless womanizing Norn, only to drop the facade when he is called to, or perhaps paid to. He is basically living because he is alive not because he really wants to be.

Affiliations
Guilds and Groups
He is a friend to several guilds he worked for. Rumored to be an officer in some and a chief in another. As long as the conditions do not oblige him to belong, he stays with the guilds that accepts him as a wild mustang who will come when there is a need.

Family and Friends
His friends are those who know him in their hearts, not by the facade he wears. He prefers not to have families. Who wants to keep something wild? It will break both their hearts and his.

Personality
He is basically unpredictable. Reliable to those who know him. Disturbing to those who are up to no good, corrupted, or follow negative crowds. He do not intentionally seek to harm, to a point where he is easily misunderstood to be a pacifist. And when he is put right in the middle of chaos- Fury rises.

Quirks
People might think he is a schizophrenic, but it all depends on who perspective. It takes one pot to call a kettle black.

Name: Briar Stoneheart

Approximate Age: Somewhere between her late 20s and early 30s.

Affiliation: Order of Whispers

Race: Norn

Profession: Warrior

Appearance
A Norn woman of slightly taller than average height, blonde hair kept straight and long enough to reach her neck halfway. Her face has some scars on it, her body more so (though it doesn’t show in-game). Briar’s eyes are also blue, though they give off a very cold, empty stare most of the time.

History
Youth
Briar grew up nameless (except for a very well-made ID bracelet that said “STONEHEART”) and hungry, foraging and gathering for food wherever it was available. The cold was very unkind to her, but she was eventually found by a Norn woman named Frida Larsdottir and informally adopted by her. Briar was given that name by Frida and grew up with her. Learning the ways of Norn society and the teachings of Bear, Briar realized that…she stood out from other Norn very, very easily. She didn’t enjoy too much the stories that the skaald told, and she didn’t enjoy battle like others did. Even her last name stood out from all the other kids’, being distinctly…dwarven. In some ways Briar preferred being out in the wild.

Early Life
Briar left home for a simple reason: soul-searching. She felt she didn’t belong in Norn society and left to find a place she could call home. It was through this wandering that she met her friends and formed her guild, the Bears of Orion. Through this guild, Briar then discovered her hand in smithing, specifically armor crafting. And through her adventures, word of Briar became common knowledge in both Kryta and the Shiverpeaks as the stoic-faced Norn, “who could stare down an enemy and kill them with a heart of stone.”

Current Status
Briar is currently leading her guild to fight Kralkatorrik and rid Orr of the remains of the Risen, along with keeping her unruly Necromancer in check.

Affiliations
Guilds and Groups
Briar is affiliated with the Order of Whispers as one of their “frontmen” (i.e. the brutes that join the Order whom they throw at the front lines), though she’s also a very good soldier for the Pact. She’s also the leader of her own guild and a representative of a much larger one.

Family and Friends
Briar has friends in her own guild as well as the larger guild she is a part of. In terms of family, she considers Frida to be her mother, even when knowing that they aren’t related by blood.

Personality
Temperament
Briar is usually pretty stoic, keeping an unmoving face and her own words or sentences short and to the point. But despite her looks, she’s happy most of the time and will occasionally crack a smile or a chuckle. Those that touch on personal issues, though, will instead receive a very nasty glare from Briar and a single warning of being picked up by the neck and given a “gentle squeeze”. Briar is at her happiest either in front of a stove or in front of a furnace, so finding her at a cooking station smiling isn’t an uncommon sight.

Quirks
Briar, as mentioned, loves cooking and smithing. It’s creating with her hands that seems to bring out the Norn’s personality out of her stone shell. When making something, she’ll almost always be in motion, whether it’s tapping her foot and moving around setting plates and cooking for her guild. She can’t really stay still when at a station.

Other
In terms of character, Briar can’t visit doctors. According to her, every visit ends with, “the doctor freaking out.”

Name: Ritian Fhenrir
Approximate Age: 26
Affiliation: NA
Race: Norn
Profession: Ranger

Appearance:
He always wielded a blindfold yet for some reason he made his profession a ranger. But eyes aren’t the only senses he could use to hunt, by using sounds, noise and his pure intuition skills he raised his ability to the max. But now he’s wielding a animal shaped mask that was taken from a dangerous svanir master, that had caused harm to the environment and the creatures that lived within. The masks purpose was not only a act of his trophy, but also a new and more effective way to cover his face, as he new that that for some unexplained reason that would been best to do.

History:
Long ago a group a norn hunters travelled deep into the dangerous woods, hunting for powerful beasts so that they can make their names known trough out generations to come. Yet what they discovered was something more small and harmless. A small Norn baby left behind in the woods with nobody in sight to help him. Leaving a baby behind would bring a Norn more shame then coming back without any trophies of there slain prey. One of those Norn was a shaman of the Wolf lodge. He looked the baby in his eyes and saw something what shouldn’t have been seen, he quickly covered his eyes with a pelt from his robe and the group of brave norn headed back to Hoelbrak. Along the road the shaman will never forget what he saw, it was frightening, but he also saw something else something………. promising that one day will change the world of Kryta.
Since the kid didn’t had a name the shaman asked from his students to come up with a name, that they would carve into stone to forever remember the names of the wolf lodge inhabitants. His first name was Rithian his last name would have been something called close with the wolf Fenrir, however one of the students made a mistake in writing the last name and added a extra letter though the shaman thinks this name was more suiting. His Name was Rithian Fhenrir, the lonely child in Wolfs dorm.

Youth:
At the age of 8 while he was exploring the woods he met a cub wolf that was also abandoned. Sharing the same history he adopted the pup and named him Hokeroxer. And the two of them would be having a future were they would travel and hunt all around the Shiverpeaks and beyond and having allot of exiting and dangerous adventures making his story.

Early Life:
At the age of 10 he and his pet Hokeroxer were hunters and lived of the lands. But because of the elder dragons lands were lost and corrupted, for somebody who can’t see the corruption he listened how the spirits of the wild suffered because of that many spirits were devoured by the dragon Jormag. At that moment het realized what he had to do.

Current Status:
By fighting against the dragons he hopes to remove the corruption from the lands, so that nature can heal itself again. So far he bravely fought with Destiny’s edge and the pact to fight Zaithan and slaying it. But there are more dragons to be slain, how can a Norn ever reject a good fight?

Affiliations:
Avengers of the Underworld {ARCH} he travels with this guild to travel around and stop all kind of dangerous creatures. From the shadow creatures in the swamp to the generals of the dragons.

Family and Friends:
he see’s his wolf dorm and his pet wolf as family but he always saw the wolf shaman as his father and he gladly adopted him as a son. A fhew years ago when the Wolf shaman died he entrusted him whit his most precious family relic, a war horn. After a year Rithian had to fight for his life to reclaim his fathers relic from a Norn he lost against in game trough trickery and he had to fight against the corruption it had suffered during that time. in the end he restored his father relic from corruption en rostered the family name.

Personality:
Rithian is most calm and quit around people and he normally thinks twice before he acts, unless he is in a situation were patient is test to the limit. Rumor has it that he killed the svanir master without his hands, because the savnir had looked him in the eyes when he removed his blindfold in battle.

Quirks:
Is common like any other born during combat. But if his mask is removed he fights like no any creature that has ever lived. Its hard to tell if he can make friend from foe during this demonic mode.

Other:
What the shaman saw in those eyes all those years, the secrets it held, the horror it contained but also the promising future it hold, the shaman eventually decided to bring this secret with him towards the afterlife, for until the day that Rithian Fhenrir from Wolf lodge will have to make a choice that will save his people….. or bring its demise. But for the years to come those secrets will still be hidden behind a cold emotionless animal shaped svanir mask.

bump for RP sake ^^

I think this should become a sticky or be moved in a RP specific forum where it has less chance of being lost in various other threads concerning problems with norn. I’m curious do you have plans on doing similar with the other four races?

i have a Charr thief bio too so yeah,i treat them as kinda of a team,individuals within Tyria
it would be cool to have it being a sticky but its out of my hands ^^

So share your norn lineage and awesome backstory guys
