So I heard you guys were looking for dubious self-inserts. Well. I have just the thing.
Apologies. This came out very light. I may have to return and use ink or something.
(rifle slung on the back to hide the fact that I suck at drawing guns. Tried to combine the standard military uniform with the mage uniform. So I get a dumb cape. Trimmed with raven feathers. The graphic on it is based on an old depiction of Odin. Glasses are meant to be more like goggles, based on Hanji Zoe's glasses - also, hands - how do they even work?)
Name: Váfuður Magnusson
Age: 22
Nationality: Icelandic
Area of Birth: Egilsstaðir
Gender: Male
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Mage (seidkarl), soldier, farmer, academic
Languages: Icelandic, Norwegian, muddles through Danish and Swedish. Finnish is fascinating, if incomprehensible.
More Danish in soul, really. Has an unhealthy interest in the past and wanderlust for an Icelander.
His father is a peasant, but his mother is an academic (a law-speaker, in fact). Not terribly rich, he was able to afford academic education, if only to become a government clerk. As a youth he had been afflicted with rather disturbing nightmares, but it is only in his teens that those were recognized as proper signs of awakening magic potential. Already in Reykjavik for his clerical studies, he moved to the Academy of Seidur where he was a moderately successful student. He is now serving his military service, working in tandem with Norwegian teams to clean up more of the Norwegian shores. During the off-season, he returns to the family farm to help with the chores. He also helps the town through the less battle-oriented runes and magic.
