threading preferences: I tend to default to whatever the person I'm playing with is using.
threading habits: I'm PST, but I tend to default to replying late at night/early morning because of my work schedule. I can tag from work on occasion, but because of the restrictions the computer has, I can only do so from my e-mail, so if you see a lot of default icon, that's what happened!
about you: Just a typical geek girl. I read. A lot. Main genres are young adult, supernatural, and anything by Jacqueline Carey. Really into Disney, Star Wars, MCU, X-men, and Terminator movies. I work at Disneyland which is not nearly as fun as it sounds, but it has some satisfying moments. Have a cat named Loki who lives up to his name.

character
name: Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson
age: 16
occupation: Perimeter Guard member
residence: Communal Housing; Floor 5, Bed 5
about: In a nutshell? Psychopathic disabled warrior Viking prince. Ivar is the son of the show's main protagonist, King Ragnar Lothbrok, and the youngest of his five sons He's got brittle bone syndrome in his legs, which means he can't put any weight on them. Subsequently, he gets around either by dragging himself by the arms or by someone carrying him. This hasn't stopped him from becoming a Viking warrior in his own right.

He's a little bit crazy and unbalanced, seeing murder as a perfectly acceptable solution to all problems. Part of this is Viking culture, part of it is the fact he's a bit of a psycho. Also, he's got a very abrasive, angry personality, which comes from being disabled in a society where everything rests on physical prowess. He doesn't want anyone to pity him, so he'd rather snap back first. However, if one can get past his defenses and is actually nice to him, he can be surprisingly loyal. He's coming in right after getting brutal revenge on a king that had killed his father, so he's feeling pretty good about himself.

what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Missions and exploration look like a lot of fun! Teaming up with people is my jam.
what plans you have for this character: Just getting him settled in first of all. Finding him a way to get around since this place probably has things like wheelchairs he can use. Gaining friends, enemies, and people who tolerate a mouthy, insane teenager.
shipping/smut preferences: Well, that might be difficult, since that disability I mentioned up there? It also makes him impotent, so smut is a bit out of question. He's also going to be very prickly and more than just a little bit creepy with any potential love interests, but hey, if crazy is your cup of tea, have your character go for it!

what your character wants: To be taken seriously. He feels that people look on him as someone to be pitied or not taken seriously instead of a person. Do this and he might actually be pleasant to be around. Or at least not a complete jerk.
what your character needs: Someone to rein him in. He tends to make impulsive decisions that usually result in violence if he doesn't have someone like his brothers or father around to watch him.

any open post/ic inbox links: Inbox is here!

Having not watched Vikings since like, mid season 2 (i don't care about spoilers obvs) I'm just like 'WELL DAMN, THAT WAS A TRIP' re: that write-up, haha.

I have this girl (Ellie from TLoU) here who could use some tiny angry murderbros her own size since she is also kinda Troubled and would in no way look down on someone for having a disability. Idk if you're canon familiar but I can give you a run-down on her if you'd like.

Annnnd I also play Flint from Black Sails who is an irascible pirate captain currently masquerading as a mild-mannered carpenter who can definitely do that reining in stuff you're interested in since he has a +10 charisma modifier and is also absolutely terrifying when he puts his mind to it.

Oh yeah, Season 4 was basically 'let's burn everything down, kill everyone off, and focus on the new generation.' Ivar was a standout of it.

Most of what I know about The Last of Us comes from RP and watching drunk playthroughs on YouTube haha. But he totally needs other teenage murderfriends around. Just let him insult you a bunch, try and push you away, and fail, Ellie. That's his way of showing he cares.

And I'm also here for someone he can keep him reined in. Basically, ALL THE THINGS.

I had to stop watching Vikings because Athelstan my baby ;_;

but casual fun fact, my mom is hella into ancestry and we're descendents of the real Rollo so Ivar is basically family~

Less casual, more game related, Matt totally gets the not wanting to be pitied thing. Hopefully they can have a chance somehow to at least chat :)

Dude, I marathoned the show, and that came to a screeching halt for like two days after that happened. Then Season 4 was basically one big stab in the heart.

Come, be nice to the crazy Viking teen, Matt. He doesn't bite...much. And will be hella impressed with Matt's fighting skills because disabled fighters got to stick together.

I keep saying one day I'll go back. One day ....

woohoo things in common. Matt probably wouldn't mind learning some good ol' Viking stuff. You never know when you'll need to long sword out of a problem.

It only gets worse. Like Game of Thrones but with more drinking. Gods, everyone drinks so much on that show.

Yes, come learn the ways of the throwing ax and sword. Ivar is an expert in all things stabby.

NO MURDER!

Actually I kind of want these two to meet. I just do.
ragnarsson: (Default)

[personal profile] ragnarsson 2017-03-08 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Psh, ALL THE MURDER ALL THE TIME!

Yeeesss. Come, Steve, meet the teenage psychopathic Viking. What could go wrong? Considering they're living on the same floor, doubtless they'll meet sooner rather than later.

[personal profile] livingsymbol 2017-03-08 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I want them to butt heads over the murder thing and just generally interact. I'm sure there are some things they can actually agree on, since warrior things. And Steve will at least admire Ivar's will and strength!
