Self-Inserts and OCs

[Vafhudr]

Illuminators are exactly what you read about. They were specialized scribes who embellished manuscripts with calligraphy and other arts. They are the reason that medieval manuscripts are often very beautiful to look at - which makes sense in this setting, where skald once more copy books by hand. It's gonna take a while - might as well make them pretty.

Lenny: Could you perhaps explain what you mean with Illuminator? I tried wikipedia and got "Illuminator (sometimes limner), an artist who adds illustrations and decorations to illuminated manuscripts", is this what you meant? =)

Vafhudr has explained it exactly.

Thank you! This sounds like the most best job ever!

It most definitely is, and especially for my recluse of a self-insert, haha. She doesn't exactly hate people, but being around them is eh.

Bio is a work in progress. About the only things I am certain of are:

Age: 19
Occupation: Illuminator
Interests: Builds tech on the side with cast off components. Has an affinity with maps and info on the old world.

Amazing art, especially considering the traditional techniques.

y main ancestry is Scottish but cleansers sounded more fun to me than vikings (well, warriors/troll hunters/the like).

I actually have Norwegian and Swedish ancestry, so it's not actually too far of a stretch??

Americans and their obsession with genealogy

ruth: When I saw your ssssona I was thinking she could pass as a younger cousin or something to Sigrun

this is working as intended, since *i* could probably pass as a younger cousin to sigrun.

I'm not making any of my stuff up, I'm an Actual Viking

[Vafhudr]

Well dang. I guess we can all go home now. I don't think we can get more self-insert than this.

[Haiz]

i'm just a terrible show-off

Anyway, that's why I'm thinking of doing a redesign, I am very proud of my Cherokee heritage, and I want to show it in myself.

Waaaait a sec, did you use your mage powers to transform your hair blue and pink/orange? Is that even allowed? No idea what the runes say, but imma just assume that it's some awesome spell or other, you being an Actual Viking and all

Well I'm pretty sure all my people have been wiped out post-rash, but it's pretty fun to think about being a Norwegian troll hunger, even if there's a slight chance I may not ACTUALLY be one..... (the thing about the weapons is totally true though)

Yes, you can all all the chocolate you want. I usually have plenty.

I know, I was wondering that too about the various Native tribes. I think the Plains tribes would have little problems surviving, lots of open space, but they'd be really technology deprived, more so than Finland in story. Hmm. . . so many ideas.
