NAME: Horik Stormpike
AGE: 20
ORIGIN: Berk
OCCUPATION: Horik is a good old fashion inventor, part time astronomer and part time blacksmith
GENDER & SEXUALITY: Bisexual
LIKES:
People: Horik likes to interact with people when hes not locked up in his workshop. Being a friendly person will help you out when youre presenting your new found contraptions to a hardend crowd thats for sure.
Tinkering: If it exists, you can make it better, even through unorthodox methods. Horik loves the idea of being able to make already existing things better by adding in his own adjustments every now and then. Though he does prefer to stick to making his own ideas work instead.
Stargazing: The stars have always seemed much more to Horik. He loves to study them on clear, cloudless nights and just let his mind wander on about them.
Reading: Unlike most other vikings, if not all of them, Horik finds amusement in reading. Story, history, and so on, whatever it is Horik wont mind sitting down and having a look.
DISLIKES:
Cold: For being a viking, Horik isnt a fan of cold weather. Sure he loves the snow, but the minus fifty below temperatures are just not his thing.
Questioning: Horik loaths getting questioned, especially about very menial things in life. Unless he askes for it, dont do it.
Being Couped Up: Unfortunately for the blonde, he can't complain too much about this one. In order to get any quiet, without trapping yourself in the middle of the forest, he keeps himself in his workshop a lot to get some quiet to come up with new ideas or to just get down to some reading. The downside of it is that Horik isn't a fan of the whole 'limited human contact' idea.
Show offs: Horik hates show offs? Wouldn't that mean he's being a hypocrite then? Well no. Horik hates when people show off their abilities doing whatever it may be so that person can get some attention. When Horik is, 'showing off', he's pointing attention to something he created. There is a difference.
STRENGTHS:
Innovative: If he wasn't innovative to some extent, he wouldn't be an inventor would he? It can be pretty useful to be able to work with your surroundings in a pinch.
Quick Picker-Upper: Horik is quick to pick up on new things, how to do something differently, how to speak in a different language and so on. This seemed to be pretty apperent when he was learning how to speak dragonesse.
WEAKNESSES: [at least 4]
FEARS:
The idea of death doesn't scare vikings, or in the very least it shouldn't, Horik doesn't worry about the idea of dying but what he does worry about is not being able to live a FULL LIFE before that time comes.
The fear of becoming a SOCIAL OUTCAST is a real fear right? Horik loathes the idea of becoming a social outcast for whatever reason could bring it about, though in the back of his mind he always has to reassure himself of this. The inventor has too much of a crowd to loose in the first place.
AMBITIONS:
Horiks ambitions aren't terribly unreasonable. His biggest one would likely be wanting to be REMEMBERED for his abilities rather than down the line people saying, 'Remember that crazy with all the random inventions and such. And sure he knows a lot about tinkering with this and that, but he wants to be able to CREATE something that ends up being extremely, okay maybe not extremely, but very important in his villages day to day life.
You could go into everyone's personal life in the sense that Horik obviously wants to be MARRIED in his life time, and whether he marries a guy or gal, doesn't matter to him as long as he is happy. He also wants to be able to TEACH people, whether its how to speak in a language, or how to read or do something that wouldn't be apart of the normal viking lifestyle.
SECRETS:
Sexuality: While Horik isn't against telling someone, that he has some sort of decent relationship with of course, he isn't exactly blunt with it. Most would never guess that Horik has an interest guys as he just really doesn't show an obvious interest whilst in public. If someone were to ask him, again as above, he wouldn't have any issue straightening out an answer for them. - Aside from this, Horik tends to be a pretty open book as is.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Horik overall is a generally laid back, carefree individual. He loves to hold up conversations with people, keeping people amused with anything generally makes him feel somewhat accomplished on a slow day. It isn't unknown for this witty inventor to be able to draw in a crowd, even if it is of mere numbers to outsider standards. Though some come to take a look at what he may have put together this this time, other people come just for the amusement that generally follows in the form of snappy come backs to the 'non-believers' of his trinkets and such.
Beyond his public face, many people never actually get to see the dorky side of Horik. Sure when he's showing off a new invention of his or trying to share some knowledge here or there he may come off as a little nerdy, but his public and private face is almost relateable to the 'Jock and the Nerd' complex. In public he has no issues striking a conversation with someone, or talking to large crowds of course, but privately some may think he'd be off doing other things, but really he's probably just sitting there reading a book or something. Even by non-viking standards that can be seen a nerdy, but by viking standards that's really out there.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Who can really stand to stay away from an inventor who has the body strength of a blacksmith? That's just the epitome of two different worlds right there.
Horik stands at just six foot, managing to just get out of the five foot ranges. When it comes to weight he's somewhere between 175 to about 180 pounds, a good portion of the extra weight he carries with him is body muscle, primarily in the arms and torso regions. But one can not forget about leg day, those aren't left out either! Any muscle gain he has is from his day-to-day life over the years, though one can say those years have been decently kind to him. Aside from that, Horiks somewhat shorter hair, dark brown eyes, and short scruffy beard are other prominent features.
Clothing is very important, aside from the fact it keeps one from looking like a crazy running about with nothing on, it's also a good way from keeping the cold winds of Berk from destroying your body, and probably your mind. Starting from the bottom up, Horik starts off with a pair of bulky black boots which are lined with a mixture of fur and wool for warmth. Going upwards, Horik wears a simple pair of light brown pants before they meet a long sleeved and somewhat elegant white shirt. It could be buttoned up near the top if Horik ever felt like actually doing so, and usually has his sleeve rolled up to his elbow. A black, fur lined vest helps to cover up most of his torso, but granted the weather permits for him to do so, he keeps it undone. He wears a somewhat larger belt around his waist, but it's mostly for show rather than actual usage, Horik normally wears it whenever he also wears his vest open.
Horik seems to have a thing for wearing a small number of leather bracelets around both his wrists. He also wears a necklace with a small ruby encased around silver bindings hung on a silver chain, whether it has any significance or if it's just a looks kind of thing has not been made clear by the blonde.
