OVERALL PERSONALITY: Kind, caring, yet gullible; he is considered a loser in his generation because he doesn't like violence... at all. He rather fears violence from both man and beast, and would much rather avoid it at all cost due to his encounter with a monstrous nightmare as a child. Some of his greatest fears are losing a limb during a battle, dying, and being mauled by a dragon. One other fear he has is fire; he fears it because of his encounter with a monstrous nightmare, and he becomes especially frightened when nightmares catch themselves on fire. He will fight back if need be, to defend himself if its against a fellow viking, but against a dragon he tends to panic. Finally he has a his kind and caring demeanor.  He is witty and geeky, which only makes him more unpopular in the long run. For now, he remains an unpopular fellow and considered by many a loser.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: He wears generally a red tunic, with a black leather vest over it. His hair is pitch black, and his eyes are blue. He certainly is good looking for his age, being tall and lanky, but definitely not the best looking ever. What with his pale face and hair that goes midway down his neck, slender face, skinny and lanky figure, and a nose that is slightly pug like, he does not have the best attributes and is very much stuck in between childhood and adulthood appearances. Upon his chest there is a large, three clawed scar going diagonally over his chest, from left to right.



HISTORY: This is Berk. It's been over three hundred years since dragons and vikings made peace. The boy in question is known as Gunnar the Gullible. He was born here on Berk on July 21st, bringing shame to his family due to his skinny, underweight figure as a baby. It didn't help much that as he grew he soon grew to be taller then almost everyone; his mom insists that he just had an early growth spurt; who knows, maybe the rest of his body is just waiting to catch up, for his dad was the same way but for now.. it really stinks. Well its been thirteen years, and here he is today. Thirteen years old and enrolling in his first year of dragon training. He doesn't even have a dragon yet; he hadn't the skills to train one... yet.. but he will.. Till then he is determined to focus on those horrid things known as combat skills. Despite how much he loathes doing so, he can defend himself when needed with a dagger. He usually carries it in his back pocket, y'know... in case of a random attack that should lead to a near death experience... again. He wouldn't hurt a fly but a scratch is generally enough to scare any dragon off, if given in the right place. Sometimes just even the sight of a blade will do. It wouldn't do him much, though, as he is not skilled in combat, like... at all.

Oh, and if you're wondering about Gunnar; well to start he is afraid of getting attacked by a dragon. Part of the reason he keeps the dagger; to get out of dangerous situations without losing a limb and as quickly as possible. He also fears things like spiders, and bugs; seeing them just makes him freak out. Other then that he fears fire, perhaps because when he was young he was in a fight with someone, who managed to shove him so hard that he hit against a monstrous nightmare. The dragon flamed up and fired at him, for he had angered the beast. It left several bad burns and a three claw scar mark when he tried to claw at the boy. It also left a wide portion of his chest desensitized to feeling. His dad was the one who rescued Gunnar before it got worse; he was able to fight off the nightmare while Gunnar's mom carried the boy to safety.  

Other then that, Gunnar does try to charm the girls; he much prefers a girls company to a guys. Girls are just.. Girls. What guy would rather hang around his crew of boys, who all like to beat each other up, when they could be wining and dining a girl? Maybe he's just a hopeless romantic like that. His dad always tells him he is too young to think about this stuff, but in his eyes it's his life.. and he'll do what he wants, as no one really cares too much anyway. He doesn't think too highly of himself, but maybe that's a good thing? Maybe not. Well, that's about it. That is the boy known as Gunnar the Gullible.

FAMILY: Parents: Issie the Irresistable, Drog the Deadbrain
WEAPON OF CHOICE: Dagger.

The app is interesting but there are a few things still fixing up:

First of all, you need to put the occupation, and history in 3rd person.

A slighty contradiction: i'm not sure a smart guy can be gullible - he'd be able to see through those kind of lies?

Death is an obvious fear - find something else - try and use fears you could exploit in Rp, it could be fun to write!

"-Fears more aggressive dragons like monstrous nightmares" is a fear, not a secret.

Monstrous nightmares wont really slash with their hind feet. just cause a nightmare is young wont change the temperature of his flame. A monstrous nightmare isnt going to just stop fighting - who rescued gunnar, and how? even though its a young dragon i think any dragon attack needs some kind of flaw, more than just an aestheticall scar. he obviously got burns as well - where are they and has he lost nerves/sensibility/got some kind of disability in those areas?

Something so dramatic isnt going to go by unknown - his parents will know, witnesses will know, the healer and people who frequent the healer qill know, and the spread of gossip would mean generally people would know what's up. Perhaps to people his age, but older people the incident will not be a secret.

Hurting a dragon is not going to scare it - it's just going to make it angry and try to kill you.

I think that's all I have to say for now - we'll check this over again when changes have been made

You still haven't put the history in third person. I think that's all that needs doing now!

Everything looks fine, Accepted!
