Age:28
Race: Half Frost Giant

Physical Description: A tall broad man. imposing at first glance scars scattered across his body, golden hair running down his face unnaturally clean for his way of life. small braids in his hair a small gruff beard across his chin. his face has a sense of animalistic instinct and rage, yet almost civil and knowledgeable of the world Also having a slight blue tint in his skin in the right light otherwise just looking slightly more pale then the rest. Right arm tattooed, seemingly from a spell book of sorts. with runes and etchings of animals and creatures. strong arms and hands almost constantly dirty, face has scar across his left cheek. Clothing bought but weathered from over use and battle and living in the wilds under constant attack and hunting for survival, wearing normal brown leather pants, and a dark brown vest over a basic cream white shirt. with a thick leather belt holding pouches and a small dagger. A deep crimson red trench coat with fur lining the edge of the cloak by the head and tail. yellow gold trimming lining the sleeves, Having heavy leather gloves with fingers cut off and metal cestus over his knuckles with small spikes protruding from the base acting as claw like appendages, also having two short swords at his side for duel wielding, as well as a great sword on his back, with a modified sheath for easy draw during a battle. and two horns on his left side on his belt one a drinking horn, the other a signal horn to call his comrades/employer to his side. a necklace of a emblem as well as a trinket of unknown origin.

Possessions: two one handed swords, wooden shield, bow and arrows, healing potions, adrenaline potions, throwing knives, dirks, daggers, charms, trench coat, chain mail, leather armor, bracers, two handed sword, cooking supplies, spices, one handed ax, runes, and basic survival gear.

Powers or Strengths:Hjaldi magical abilities are not widely known all that is known is his magical spells of fire and water manipulation, the fire coloring being a light blue and a light almost white blue. using them for survival, as well as combat/hunting. Hjaldi also has a power which gave him the name "Ambassador of Wolves" when in battle his essence seemingly summons packs of ghost wolves to fight along side him. He also has the ability to devour a wolf's soul and become a wraith/ghost himself, but after he is fatigued to the extreme and is likely to pas out or need help to stand depending on his duration of becoming the wraith. His abilities have a wide range from a sword master of all sorts he prefers his ancestral swords he carries with him. but also using tomahawks, knives, bows, great swords, and even cestuses. Being a Nomad and living in deep forests where most men fear to go he has honed certain abilities to run on all four limbs and his senses have been attuned to a near primal state because of his frost giant blood where he can sense, track, and even see in the night better then even some beasts of the world. Also being a excellent archer for hunting. he also is a accomplished trapper and even slayed a dragon though he needed a party to help him do it.

Weaknesses and Flaws:Hjaldi is hot tempered, and very lustful for woman and battle. He has a hard time retreating from the battle completely and revels in the glories of battle and rushes in sometimes prematurely. Also is a collector of weapons and will fight to steal a weapon he likes and will not easily give up even though he is weak. Also Some of his powers have major side effects. also drinks Mead and gets drunk fairly often

History: Not much is rightly known only that he has many names. The Ambassador of the Wolves, Winds speaker, Knight of the mountain and trees, the civilized animal. to name a few. Some say he was banished from his home, others say he left after finding out a dark secret from his family line. One thing known is a man was apart of a knights order was quite a accomplished warrior was sent on a quest but never returned to the order who had the same name as Hjaldi. Rumors grew to legends and Legends to Myths and sagas. Only few things are truly known of his early history, he was born to a warrior clan, the Verde Ulv the Wraith wolves. who worship the sword and ax. They were a major clan in his homeland Fjeltland, Until they were massacred in a small skirmish and ambush. More recent history however he is sell sword a mercenary that hold loyal to who he is hired unless he were betrayed. Not widely known as a mercenary and in is home lands in the far north he is known with renown and is sought after because of his abilities and prowess in the battle. And though he is from a different land Rumors have followed him about is blood, and him in battle...
I am the civilized beast.

Runes are like, little symbols. Dummy.
The world is an arena, not a stage. RP is a stage, not an arena.

Hey there, and welcome to Thar!

First, while the character concept is interesting (it is always nice to see interest in species and places that don't typically get a lot of attention), this character is much too powerful for a first character. I'm going to redirect you to read (or reread) the character creation rules here that specifically speak to the first character. It's fine once you've been here for several months to delve into infamous or powerful characters. However, Thar is a place with a setting that can seem confusing or contradictory to new players. It has very little combat. Our goal is to acclimate new players to the setting before cutting them loose, which is why there are so many restrictions on first-time characters.

So that said, one of the difficult things about doing characters out of the ordinary is planning out who you're going to rp with. The character seems to be a loner -- how would he run across other characters? Does he get along well with other people? Being that he is a half-giant, how big is he, exactly? How do other people tend to react to him?

I would like to see a rewrite done of this character, with a greater focus on where he came from, what he wants to do with himself, and a lesser focus on powers and renown. So, in effect, rather than starting him out as Ambassador of the Wolves, Winds Speaker, Knight of the Mountain and Trees -- plan to rp out how all of that happened. Start him at the beginning of his journey, rather than near the end. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to save this character for until you've been here awhile, we can put this one on the backburner and you can start out with a different character.

Also, we ask that account names match character names to prevent confusion. You can pm Frug or Niabi to change your account name.

Tal, Iolan, and Sisara are good examples of the sort of things we like to see out of first-time combat capable characters.

If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to send me a pm, hop into chat, or post here with them. Once you make changes to this character please leave a reply in this thread so I know to come back and reread it.
