Name: The Viking at Stamford Bridge
Gender: Male.
Age: Unknown.
Appearance: A viking berserker, six and a half feet tall. He is wearing animal furs over his chainmail armor, and his only visible feature is his bright, blue eyes.
Backstory:
Good start.Abilities:
1. Berserker Rage (Active): The Viking lets loose his inner berserker, going completely insane for a round. His actions are completely uncontrollable, and he will mercilessly attack a random, nearby person, friend or foe. The Viking has a +3 to attack rolls while berserk, but -2 to defense rolls, and will shrug off any damage short of complete limb loss. Three round cool down.
2. Barbaric Cry: (Active) After making a kill, the Viking screams a prayer to Vingtor and Woden. The berserker is distracted for the rest of the round, with a -2 to all rolls. For the two following rounds, he receives a +1 to all rolls.
3. Know No Pain: (Active) For one round, all penalties from injuries (short of severed limbs) are ignored. Two round cool down.
4. Skullsplitter: (Passive) The berserker's giant Dane axe cleaves through steel and bone alike. It negates up to a +2 bonus from enemy armor, but he has a permanent -1 to defense rolls, due to its unwieldiness.
5: Symbel: (Passive) Every man must participate in the Great Boast. The greater the odds, the better the glory! +1 to all rolls for every unique enemy (over two) that has attacked the Viking in the last two rounds.
Equipment:
1. Dane Axe: This axe is the size of an adult man, with a large, steel head that can cleave through bone and steel alike. Don't get in his way.
2. Chainmail Armor: A set of handcrafted, Norwegian chainmail that has seen more combat than many armies. It can stop most melee weapons, but it has no effect against bullets. Topped with a spectacle-guard helmet that hides everything but his eyes. +3 to damage resist against blades, -1 to dodge.
3. Animal Furs: A mostly ceremonial set of bearskin, draped over his shoulders. He killed it himself.
