INTROSPECTION
Personality: Audun is a man of purpose. You give him a task and he'll see it done. He knows he's meant for great things, and therefore will always aim high. But, he will never forsake the wisdom of caution, nor the wisdom of outside ideals. He is proud of his heritage and has no problems putting others in their place if they disrespect him or those he cares about. He is a man of silent anger, but when pushed he shows how he is a son of Odin.

Strengths: Wise beyond his years. Stronger than his stature gives credit for. Passionate in ALL things he does. Proactive to a T.

Weaknesses: He angers easily. Hates being questioned more than is necessary.

Fears: His lineage and culture will be forgotten. The fall of progress in the age the Titans will bring. The wrath of the gods.

Hopes: Audun seeks to free the imprisoned gods and then do what the Greek gods could not: Vanquish the Titans.


TALENTS AND ABILITIES
Inherited Godly Powers:

  -Empathic Presence - While in Audun's presence, he naturally makes others feel how he feels. When happy, others feel a sensation of of joy. When sad, they feel grief. When angry, he can incite anger in others. When he is determined, others will feel the same focus. He can focus on one person to make the sensations more effective, giving himself a very memorable stare. If you let yourself go, you can feel the extremes of these feelings.

  -Berserker's Rage - When finally incited to violence, Audun can be described as the epitome of a Berserker. His domineering presence becomes immense making him stronger and seemingly immune to pain, the area around him literally gets heavier and darker as if being stifled by his anger. With a roar as loud as thunder, he can summon to his aid Gungnir, the Spear of Odin himself. Upon calming down, the spear returns to it's masters side. However, details of the entire encounter leave his mind, leaving nothing but a black spot in his memory.

  -Foresight - Audun has an almost uncanny ability to see the future. Well, not see, but more feel. He can tell the relative outcome of any decision, if it'll be good or bad. He doesn't have control of it, for it comes in spurts, and usually jostles him enough to make him have to sit down.

  -Avian Sight - If Audun focuses on a Raven, it's almost as if he can see out their eyes, flying over the land and water. He still hasn't figure out if this is actually happening, or just wishful thinking and daydreaming.

Basic Skills: Fisherman, Carpenter, Archaic Smith, Farming, Hunting and Sewing. He is a good Public Speaker and Leader. He is trained in Viking Style Combat and Tactics. Fluent in English, Norwegian and Scandinavian.

THE JUICY BITS
Backstory: Audun was born in a fishing village, to a family that had known barren fertility. That was how they knew that Audun was of divine birth, even before the old shaman of the village told them so. Once they knew he was a son of Odin, they raised him in his image. It wasn't hard, for Audun was head-strong, wise and the rest of the kids fallowed him naturally, as if drawn to him. As he grew, so did his reputation of both a figurehead and a violent combatant. He found himself jailed more than once in his youth, and regrettably his adult life. He is well known throughout his home region, tho his lineage is kept quiet.

When the call came, it was an awkward state of affairs. Two ravens appeared on the sill of his window at night. Regarding them with both curiosity and respect, he moved to the window, thinking the birds would just fly away. They didn't. Instead, they allowed Audun to place his hand upon their back. Various scenery, faces, battles, smells, and emotions cascaded into all his senses. He came to and looked at the ravens under his hands, two names stamped upon his vision: Huginn and Muninn. He then saw, through thought, an island in Greece. He was to go there and help his foreign cousins. These birds would show him the way. Letting go of the messengers, Audun's senses came back to him. Then they flew. Audun knew that he had to fallow, so he did. He very quickly packed a few things and set out, after the birds and for the Isle of Rhodes.

Alignment: Gods

Relic - Gungnir, the spear of Odin - When called upon in his enraged state, it has the ability to pierce any object. The runes upon the spear head itself glow with an icy-blue hue. The spear itself is unbreakable due to Dwarven Craftsmanship.
