Not sure, I have always used Norse but maybe I'm wrong, if someone could confirm which is right I'll alter the post

NORDIC relates to the NORDS. NORSE relates to the Norwegians, or other Scandinavian regions.

Nord Male: ólfr
Age: 30
Build: Stereotypical Viking Badass

ólfr live high up in the mountains of Skyrim in a small wooden cabin which he himself built. ólfr survived by living off the land, hunting and fishing. He lived so far away from large populations because he had always felt he was different from them, he felt he did not belong. He has lived so far away from other people for so long what he could remember, from when he did traverse those lands, had all but vanished from his memory. He lived with his wife, Sverro and his son úlfr.

ólfr was on one of his many hunting trips that he undertook to gather food for him and his family, he suddenly heard screams and then a large vibration shook the gound so that leaves and branches that were not secured to the trees around him fell to the ground with a thud. The sounds came from the cabin. He ran towards his mountain home with the speed of a possesed man. When he got there he found that his home, or what was left of it, was a pile of burning ash and rubble. His wife and son had perished in the flames. ólfr searched the rubble for his wifes knecklace, the one he gave her the day they met. He found it in a heap of ash, suddenly a beam from the log cabin fell and just missed his head but not without inflicting a huge gash across his left eye appearing to blind him. He dropped to the ground holding his head in sheer disbelief that all he held dear had vanished in a heart beat. ólfr knew that this was the doing of a creature of pure power and magical descent. But what creature he did not know. From that day forward he pledged to kill all magical creatures of the land that posed a threat to innocents. He was to become a Monster Hunter of sorts.

As he rose to his feet he found that the smoke had attracted a local legion patrol. They ran up to him, ólfr was still in shock, he mumbled as if he had lost his mind, saying 'They're dead, my wife, my son They're dead, it's all my fault.' The Legion soldiers, not being ones to mess around took this as a formal confession for the murders of his wife and child. They promptly arrested him and took him to a prison of which ólfr did not know. He recieved the news. The news that he was to be excecuted.

My Nord was of a Bosmer father, making him much more agile in skill, yet appearing as any other Nord (Thus is the way of genetics in Nirn.).

Lucky dog. I have German, Scottish, English, Danish, and Swedish all mixed up in mine. This melting pot of a country has IMPURIFIED MY GENES!!! :tongue:

@Olfr: That means somewhere a bit over 50%? I don't see your dilemma.

How can you have over half norwegian when you have 50% of each of you parents genes unless somehow you had more than 2 parents :S

I'm about the third generation. Mixing two people's kids, with more people's kids, with more people's kids, makes for a pretty well rounded gene pool.

I can at least tell you that what he says is somewhat true. I'm a "typical" looking Nord/scandinavian. Blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin. Anyways, there's a lot of that type of people in Norway, but with all the imigration there will of course be "fewer" when you are walking the streets. It's like a big melting pot, but maybe smaller... You can't avoid that we mix and match a little here and there so any scandinavian country isn't filled with "Nords". (this is not meant to offend anyone and I'm sorry if I sound racist to anyone. The people of Scandinavia are welcoming all kinds of people, no matter how they look)

I know its TES and not real life, but I just find it fun to play as a viking or legionary soldier like he was in real life (okay maybe a bit tweaked).


I think they also didn't speak English. Though, I guess you're forced to do so on this board...for the most part.

I sound like some nazi, but thats how genes work.

Are you? And if so, Neo? :evil:
