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.

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)

...Country. Sure.

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

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.

[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.
