Thunrawulfaz
Appearance
Skills and Abilities
Thunrawulfaz is a skilled hunter, a trait that is considered essential to the Svear way of life. As such, he is skilled in tracking a variety of wild game and is proficient with a bow. His bow is considered a hunting tool however, so he will rarely default to using it in combat.
Along with most other Svear males, Thunrawulfaz has been training in marital pursuits since he was a boy, the ways of the warrior considered a manly pursuit by the Svear. He is most proficient with an axe due to its multipurpose functions, as his family was never rich enough to afford real swords, though he has had enough practice with wooden swords that he could use one if given the opportunity. He also carries a shield and a knife for combat.

Personality
A thoroughly wild spirit compared to men of other races, Thunrawulfaz enjoys battle and warfare, a common trait among his kin. There is a certain beauty to be found in violence and war, not simply for destruction's sake, but because the Svear - and by extension Thunrawulfaz - believe there is deeper meaning to be found in intense human experiences and moments that bring one close to death. He searches far and wide for this ecstasy wherever it may be found. By extension, he is fiercely competitive.
Personal honor is intensely important to Thunrawulfaz. Honor demands that he will not allow himself an unfair advantage over an opponent in a duel, and will even go so far as to assist a foe to "even out" the stakes. No underhanded tactics or cheap shots from Thunrawulfaz, at least where dueling is concerned. Rather than viewing his honor code as a hindrance, Thunrawulfaz sees every fight as an opportunity to test himself; another mountain to climb, another challenge to overcome, a path that will lead to a greater understanding of himself and his limits.
At the same time, he will raid freely and take what he wants, when he wants, from the people he fights and kills, without being hindered by any moral compunctions. To Thunrawulfaz, the world and a man's actions don't boil down to "good" and "evil", concepts foreign to the Svear, but are simply matters of fate. He owes a debt, and he will pay it - simple as that. In his culture, there is little point in moralizing over violence. A man's fate is set from birth; the best he can do is face it with as much bravery and dignity as possible.
