Erik Haldar

Roleplay posts: 36 
Age: 59
Physical Description: Scarred from battle and with long white hair and beard Erik is marked by life, and his old body is still still very much fit and ready for battle.
Clothes and Equipment: Gold and gems aren't his way of showing off power. Instead you will see him carrying his prized masterwork sword and runed iron ring, the latter which symbolizes the ultimate power in Taingaard. He often wears a fur cape that extends down to his heels, but also adorns himself in plate armor when travelling outside the city walls.

The Great Hunt is an annual event in Taingaard celebrating a new year of prosperity and hope. It is celebrated with a great feast in Vanskaar Mead Hall but before that comes to pass the bravest warriors in and outside of Taingaard must compete to show their worth in The Great Hunt. This is equally er great opportunity for foreign ambassadors to come and experience Taingaard - if not participating in The Great Hunt - then for socializing and tasting the great food and wine Taingaard has to offer.
The tradition of The Great Hunt draws warriors from near and far to try and hunt down and kill the foulest beast they can find in Taingaard - either single handedly or in teams of up to three. Prizes will be given to all hunters, but the main prize will be quite something! The three tains are handing out the scores and points are awarded for "Overall Foulest Beast", "Biggest Challenge in Relation to The Group" and "Style". Bonus points for felling a beast that is still to be classified in their records. Each group will be followed by a raven that transmits the progress of the teams directly to the tains that act as judges - all thanks to the immaculate magic of the Taingaard druids.
Points are deducted for cowardly behaviour, an unrecognizable carcass, poor style and bad teamwork. Plus anything the tain might like to deduct points for. Worthy warriors and hunters can join The Great Hunt by coming to Leifheim through Brynjefors Harbor and entering Vanskaar Mead Hall. Here the players must register their talents and skills and if they desire to hunt alone, as a duo or in a group of three. If the players don't already have someone they prefer to hunt along with, they will be assigned a partner if possible.  Registration commences the 8th of January and all participants must be registered before the event takes place. The Great Hunt starts officially the 16th of January and the slain beast must be returned at the latest on the the 24th of January where the winner(s) are announced. After this there will be celebrations as long as one can remain upright - and for some even after that point...
**** Anyone entering Taingaard between now and the 24th of January may enter directly after posting at Brynjefors Habor and DO NOT have to wait for a post to confirm entry. You may also skip posting at the city gates! **** Rules: - The Great Hunt must be ended within a week after it commences - The slain beast must be brought back afterwards in the state it was slain - It is strictly prohibited to act against ones team mates in a way that endangers their well being - It is also prohibited to spoil the efforts of an opposing team |

Roleplay posts: 17
Age: 44
Physical Description: Large and bulky he could just as well be a smith or a barbarian, and you'll often see him carrying half a cow or a filled bear barrel over his shoulder as it was nothing. His stern face tells about concentration and a life of labor and as the Vanskaar often do, he has shaved his head only one long ponytail remaining that extends down to his shoulder blades. A thick mustache hangs cleverly beneath his nose.
Clothes and Equipment: Wearing practical clothes and often nothing on his torso, he needs a practical outfit to being able to do his job properly.

Taro Yamada
Established
Roleplay posts: 39
Age: 20
Physical Description: Taro is a young, pleasant man who doesn't look like he's ever witnessed hardship or strife. His skin is smooth, his face is young, and he wears a tender smile on his lips at all times.
He's a little short, rising at a steady 5'8". He usually wears baggy clothing, leading one to think that he's quite thin. Beneath the folds of cloth hides a strapping, athletic form.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: Taro has a penchant for bright colors and oversized clothing. Perhaps it's because of his mildly flamboyant nature, or perhaps it has something to do with more deceptive motivation.
He always carries around a heavy fan, though upon first glance it is painted to imitate wood, a common misconception for his enemies. Around his waist, beneath his kimono, he wears a hardy, long chain with small weights attached to both ends.

Elizabeth Finch
Main Character
Roleplay posts: 512 
Age: 29
Physical Description: Elizabeth, or Liz, stands at about 5'9", weighing in at about 160lbs, most of it muscle from years of riding and fighting. She has platinum blonde hair, usually tied in a ponytail to fit inside her helmet. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of green that contrasts well with her tanned skin. She would be considered attractive if she ever removed her armor, otherwise her face is the only indication that underneath the iron discipline and plate armor is an attractive woman.
Clothes and Equipment: Liz wears a normal looking set of plate armor that is custom fitted for her specifically, and does not hide her gender. She wields a lance when mounted. Javelins are carried in her mounts saddle. Her mount is a young Griffin by the name of St. George, he is full grown in height, but does not yet have the full mass of a adult griffin. She wears plain clothes when not in armor and her shield bears the symbol of the Dawn Riders on it, and her breastplate bears the symbol of Isra on it. She wears a small necklace with a purple gemstone on it underneath her breastplate, only visible when she she is unarmored. Her sword has the insignia of the midnight sun engraved in the hilt, as it is relatively out of sight and does not violate the military dress code. Her primary weapon is her sword, an ancient Elven artifact passed down by her bloodline. It is wreathed in green lightning when unsheathed and wielded by her, and she has a sunmetal shield that complements it with magical abilities of its own.

Wuppo
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 114
Physical Description: "The citizens of Tamatoshi Bay would lay eyes on Wuppo, a 10-foot tall ogre, dirty with grime and what was probably dried blood. The giant's black beard was messily braided and twisted into two strands that hung from his chin, and the hair atop his head tied into a somewhat familiar but not entirely correct topknot."

Age: 30
Physical Description: Rudiger is tall at 6'3", and muscularly built from his profession. His skin is weathered from his life on the road, with the first wrinkles of age appearing at the sides of his mouth and his eyes, and thick calluses on his right hand from wielding his sword. His light brown hair has been sheered to a fade parted on the right side, and his strong chin that was once covered by thick goatee has been shaved to stubble, but his thick mustache has remained. His most prominent feature is a thick scar and his missing left eye, which he covers with a black eyepatch, which he lost in a fight with a bear.
____________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: Rudiger wears a variety of cloths, depending on the situation. For battle, he wears a blue gambeson underneath steel plate armor, which encases him from head to foot. He wears a bellow faced sallet helm, which he learned to wear from the loss of his eye. He wields a hand and half sword, with a decorative eagle on the pommel. He also carries a kite shield, painted with his coat of arm, a black eagle on a red and orange checkered field.
When he's not in battle, he wears a white wool shirt, and thick woolen black pants. He always wears his tan riding boots.
He owns a dapple grey destrier, and a heavy wooden saddle with a high cantle and pommel covered in thick leather.

Kinzokan Krypt
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 129
Physical Description: Kinzokan Krypt is a seven foot tall beast of muscle, violent scars and a wild mane of dark hair. Almost legendary for his status as a veteran of many battlefields, Krypt is known for his exceptional skill and combat prowess and because of his dark, ashen-coloured skin he is referred to in mercenary circles as "Kinzokan the Black".
He originally hailed from a volcanic land devastated by fire, brimstone, magma and ash and as such, his people are known as the Ashkin. Due to spending their entire lives surrounded by scorching heat and with little water that isn't boiling or steamed, the Ashkin are nigh impervious to fire and its effects and their skin has thus thickened and hardened into an almost naturally armoured hide. Such is the toughness of an Ashkin that only the sharpest of weapons, or the strongest of their wielders, could cut deep and hard enough to draw blood or cause serious injury. Yet in the volcanic wastes, such a defense isn't only advantageous, but necessary - for each day would bring the Ashkin tribes into contact with the aggressive, giant, reptilian monsters who ruled the ashlands as ever-starving kings.
