Howdy, Holly Heights! I'm Em and already play Ion ([personal profile] fontastically) here. So, yeah, it's time to drag in a second character. This guy is painfully historically inaccurate Thorfinn Karlsefni from Vinland Saga. So far it has had little to do with the actual Vinland Sagas as it focuses more on when Denmark ruled the world. Anyway, this guy is an ICELANDIC WARRIOR who is wired on vengeance and isn't very pleasant. He may or may not have fleas and daddy issues.

He'll be living with Sweden and Finland in house 1468 in a child slot.

You can find me at plurk as dagora for whatever reason.

This is wonderful. Amazing. Perfect!! Ahhh, Sweden and Finland were just ICly talking about getting kids one day and how teenagers can be such work... hoho oh boy. Anyway! Hello!! I am Emi and I play Thorfinn's new Papa hello this will be awkward certainly. I live for it.....
fontastically: (wat)

Teenagers are necessary to find the path to salvation. ヽ(○´∀`)ノ♪

It's nice to meet you, Emi! Sweden and Finland won't have too much to handle, promise, besides the whole...wow I'm in the future gag and feeling the need to punch their microwave or something. (・∀・) He won't come home after that.

They'll teach him the wonders of modern technology. At least Sweden was once a viking so he sort of gets Thorfinn?? Nostalgia bomb all around. But that'll worry Mama!! Don't leave for too long... maybe he can have his own treehouse...
fontastically: (that face)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Thorfinn is very good at abandoning family. ヽ( ̄д ̄;)ノ Well, if there is food, he's bound to show his face.

[personal profile] ex_husband711 2013-04-09 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
There's always food.

...he'll have to be careful when it's Fin's turn. Unless he has an iron stomach.
fontastically: (well)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I think he can eat anything. But some luxury is nice! Though that is a secret.

[personal profile] ex_husband711 2013-04-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
What raw warrior spirit. Bless him. /single perfect tear
fontastically: (of course!)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
ICELANDIC WARRIOR.

I'm looking forward to having him in this household.

[personal profile] ex_husband711 2013-04-09 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
ICELANDIC WARRIOR SPIRIT OKAY it'd be better if it was swedish js

It's going to be a mess and a blast and they're going to be so awkward and confused (my fake son is an icelandic warrior send help)
fontastically: (that face)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
no hahaha

He has dreams of killing someone.

And see the heaven that is Vinland. But he is before that canon point.

Haha. Vinland.

[personal profile] ex_husband711 2013-04-09 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
He's.... so special....

Honestly, I think he'll intimidate Sweden a bit. Kind of ironic. But hey. He probably won't say too much to crush his hopes and dreams or tell him too much about the modern world, just how things work. Well, not so much telling as showing... sob

[personal profile] ex_husband711 2013-04-09 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... at least he has goals...... :'( Haha, like Lad!! Except he could actually kick ass.
fontastically: (wow)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Waaaaat. Ladonia is totally winning that war against Sweden right now!

[personal profile] uchuujin 2013-04-09 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, but of course. Ladonia is the fiercest micronation!!
volcanic: (peek)

/breathes on
volcanic: (oh no)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm sorry!! Please come back...
fontastically: (that's just fine)

|・ω・`)

I enjoy watching your Iceland. Like, a lot. So, hi.
volcanic: (iyan)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
O-oh, how kind of you to say so! (◎`・ω・´)人(´・ω・`*) Hello there.
fontastically: (that face)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
ヽ(;▽;)ノ

So! Fellow Nordic! Sort of. One of the Nordics, 'scuse me. Thorfinn will just be a nonbeliever.
volcanic: (parka)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse you, Thorfinn, you're one of Iceland's citizens. (#`д´)ノ

Or is he, technically? Here is where I admit I've been putting off reading this series for the longest time.
fontastically: (ow)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse you, Iceland, why do you look like a princess. Disappoint.

Well, he's definitely different at the current point. It's all fuckyeahfarming and stuff.
volcanic: (no)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
HE IS TOUGH AND MANLY with his noodle arms, yes. Shut up.

Farming? Sounds like Iceland!!!!
Edited (nooo html) 2013-04-09 04:04 (UTC)
fontastically: (well)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
NO he is a loser.

Which is ironic since he isn't even in Iceland.
volcanic: (huff)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
NO HE ISN'T yes he is but hush!! That is not how you treat a country.

Well to be fair a lot of everywhere in the Viking age was used for farming iirc
fontastically: (i'm listening)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
...Country. Sure.

This is very true. You are so smart. So cool.
volcanic: (handspring throw!!)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
W o w.

Cries no I'm like a tiny duckling who can't get up a sidewalk curb. But I like Nords a lot.
fontastically: (of course!)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
For shame on the noodle arms.

No, that's seriously cool. I really enjoy reading stuff on Iceland in general and I've been getting more into other Nords stuff.
volcanic: (wiggly)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
It's not his fault!!!! Not everyone can be giant and buff.

Uwaa, is it okay if I add you on plurk? I talk about Iceland a lot. /entices
fontastically: (that's just fine)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thorfinn is actually on the short side so he has no room to talk.

Oooh, sure! ;w;
volcanic: (broí)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry I just have to bulldoze the fanon that Iceland is short HE ISN'T OKAY. Well, okay, maybe by Nordic standards...

done and done
fontastically: (wow)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
How tall you do you think he is?
volcanic: (dramatic)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on the people I play with. To be safe I typically go 170cm / 5'7, but if I can get away with it, I bump him up to be 172cm / just shy of 5'8 so I don't deviate from his almost-kinda-sorta-canon height. Finland's 5'6 or 5'7 and Iceland is taller than him, so.
fontastically: (Default)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
.... ヾ(・ω・*)ノ
I make Iceland 172/3 cm.
volcanic: (colors)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, good person. ヾ(゚∀゚ゞ)
fontastically: (wat)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
(`・ω・´)” I sat myself down and did guesstimate math.

I guess I'm picky but I don't understand the point in making him so ridiculously short... Actually, yes I do. But making him a fuzzy uke thingy is bullshit. 'scuse my language. Wow.
volcanic: (whale face)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
I love the idea of him being taller, so 172 is becoming my norm. Again though, I guess that'll make people Unsure so I'll bump it to 170 if that doesn't work for people...

Because yeah sorry he's a Nordic no matter how much of an uguu woobie uke you want him to be. He's supposed to be tall... and Hima just kinda sucks at making tall characters hahaha.
fontastically: (well)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Stick to 172. /supports this

This could branch off into so many things but that would be going off topic. But that is why I like your Iceland, yeah.
volcanic: (cutie)

[personal profile] volcanic 2013-04-09 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Whenever you like, just pop into my plurk and I'll ramble forever, it's totally fine. I love finding people who share my thoughts on this characer, aahh.

IN ANY CASE yes I'm excited you apped Thorfinn and I'll definitely be tagging you X(
fontastically: (of course!)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
WELL I AM looking forward to it, dude.
canisdorkus: (don't know that i will)

[personal profile] canisdorkus 2013-04-09 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
WHAAAAAAAT

Awesome.
fontastically: (of course!)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Ion's kindness rots the teeth out. Time for a balance!
canisdorkus: (no room for doubt)

[personal profile] canisdorkus 2013-04-09 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Thorfinn is most definitely the mouthwash of the two. And I'm talking the bitter stuff that's probably illegal at this point.
fontastically: (well)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that the truth. At least he lightens up later with the #fuckyeahfarming but that wouldn't be as fun to play.
canisdorkus: (now we're there)

[personal profile] canisdorkus 2013-04-09 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
...it's not as fun to read either.

I MEAN I'm not one of those who has only been skimming through the chapters since the first arc ended hahahaha.
fontastically: (that's just fine)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha oh you.

... I'm waiting for the actual Vinland Saga part.
canisdorkus: (make my life worth my while)

[personal profile] canisdorkus 2013-04-09 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm waiting for Thorkell to come back and FUCKING DO SOMETHING. Also Askeladd's zombie. That was totally a thing that happened in history. Ayup.

So, yeah. Same as you.
fontastically: (wow)

[personal profile] fontastically 2013-04-09 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've actually sort of forgotten about Thorkell being around with how much it has focused on #fuckyeahfarming or #fuckyeahtalkingtodecapitatedhead. Askeladd's zombie is totes necessary. It would be the life of the party and yet it would be dead.

I feel the series being called Vinland Saga is somewhat misleading as it hasn't had anything to do with Greenland or Vinland exploration. The closest is that saying Vinland is a dream. Ah, smell that historical accuracy!
