Full name: Brialdur Olsen
More commonly called: Brialdur the Foreigner (or just plain old Brialdur)
Name meaning: Brialdur is the Faroese variation of Gabrial (which is the equivalent of Gabriel); Olsen is a patronymic surname (originating from the name of a father) meaning "the son of Ole"
Nicknames: Sheepy and Sheep-boy
Sex: Male
Age: Sixteen years old (first movie), nineteen (second movie; his appearance in his bodyshot)
Date of birth: April twenty-third
Species: Human
Personality: Brialdur has a good heart with good intentions and likes to see others be happy and enjoy life. He is pretty prideful of his culture, but he tends to get a bit (by this I mean really) aggressive and defensive of his and his people's way of living. At first, others see him as a cold and antisocial person, but realize that he's a sweet heart once they get the chance to know him, and visa versa. Brialdur will go out of his way to be a hospitable person who will always be on the lookout for your well-being (once he gets comfortable with you, of course).
It's very odd, but Brialdur seems like a "pain" magnet; meaning he always gets hurt no matter what he's doing...okay, he doesn't always get hurt, but getting injured at least five times in a row is not normal...well, for him it is. Many think this is because of Brialdur's /slight/ klutziness, but the young man will always deny that fact; he says he is not a klutz, but his near-death experiences prove him wrong.
He hates being bossed around and told what to do, but will eventually, after a great deal of push, do what he is asked. Though he will say and /try/ to act fearless, Brialdur is actually terrified of heights and dragons. Most of the creatures he has had run-ins with seem to know about his past, slaying dragons and all, and don't take too kindly to his presence; some even try to kill the man off.
He gets very passionate about things and people whom he loves and he often gives them a bit too much praise. If there is someone who he is really interested in (be it a love interest or if he's seeking a friendly relationship), Brialdur will follow them around like a lost puppy looking for a home (he's a very clingy guy ._.). He'll try to pursued others to befriend him or hook up with him, but sometimes, when he's right at snagging them, Brialdur will say something foolish and get his offer declined.
Traits:
-When he's nervous/worried, he has a habit of twisting the hem of whatever shirt he's wearing between his clenched fists, he also bites his bottom lip or swallows audibly.
-When irritated/annoyed, he will give sideways glances (or glares) to the one who's bothering him.
-He is a very picky eater; Brialdur tends to stick to eating his native foods and doesn't take too kindly to having to eat the foods of Berk.
Talents:
-He's pretty good at drawing
-Cooking (he does better making his native food)
-He is a skilled fisher/whaler and a good dancer
Voice: Brialdur's voice isn't light nor is it deep, but it is matured. It can get deep when he gets very serious or angry; Brialdur's voice will rise a bit when he's surprised or worried, but it won't turn into a girly shriek.
Dialect/Accent: He talks with a thick accent and is naturally skilled in his native tongue
Skin: Fair
Hair: His hair is straight and blond with a very light tint of orange to it
Eyes: Slightly rounded at the tops and corners; they are blue with a hint of purple to them
Height: Brialdur stands right at five-foot-eight
Weight: He is one-hundred-fifty-two pounds
Body: Brialdur's body is thin, yet toned with muscles. His hands are a bit large with and oval-shaped palm and long fingers; his face is rectangular shaped, squared jaw, and average sized ears. He has a mustache and bead that he keeps trimmed most of the time
Tattoos/Scars/Physical markings/Pircings: He has a few scars back and one near the base of his neck on the right side. Brialdur also has a jagged scar running across the left side of his chest; it was a result of a whaling accident. He wears two ivory cross earrings, one in each ear
Parents: He was orphaned at a young age, but he still distinctively remembers his parents' faces.
After the raid on his country, Brialdur was taken care of by local many dragon slayers in the village he resided in after his parents' deaths for practically all of his life
Siblings: He is an only child, but his mother was pregnant when she died
Love interest(s): He fancies both Astrid and Ásta the Rebellious a little bit; he thinks they are pretty cool, but he has just met them and can't really consider the two girls as love interests quite yet. He does think they're cute though.
Relationship status: Single
Spouse: Not married
Children: None
Friends: Fishlegs, Hiccup, Ásta, Astrid, Meatlug, (Open)
Enemies: Astrid. This "enemy" relationship is one-sided; Brialdur actually likes Astrid, but she doesn't get along with him most of the time, but the two do have their days. So, it's practically a love-hate relationship with them. The members of the Outcast Tribe, and most pirates; Toothless, Hookfang. (Open)
Heros: N/A
Rivals: Snotlout (Open)
Acquaintances: Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Barf and Belch, Stormfly (Open)
Dragon(s): He doesn't have one and might never obtain a dragon of his own
Pets(s): Brialdur owns an old, long-haired, one eyed lazy cat named Flóki
Occupation(s): When he lived with the dragon slayers, Brialdur was a fisherman/whaler and a shepherd. Now that he's in Berk, he's currently a dragon tamer (or rather attempting it)
Weapons: Twin daggers. Their blades are made of whale teeth and the hilts are made from stone with tiny bits of amber in them. He also has a bow and constantly keeps his quiver full of arrows
Clothing: He wears a dark blue tunic with two brown belts with metal buckles crisscrossing around his waist. Over his shoulders is a black cape with a golden ring in the center of it; the collar is made of white wool from his homeland's sheep. Underneath the tunic, Brialdur wears a black undershirt. He wears dark colored pants and boots.
Additional Accessories: He has an ivory cross given to him by h whom he was very close when he was fifteen and living in the viking's village. He rarely wears it now but will sometimes have it hidden under his shirt.
Likes: Living as a nomad (he says it makes his life interesting, but then there are the hardships that come with this way of life), sheep, proving other wrong, his old job as a shepherd (until he moved on to other lands). He loves to fish, build boats, and swim. If it were up to him, Brialdur would stay out on the water all day; it gives him a tranquil sensation and causes him to relax. He loves the summer and fall, especially when he was back home; the scenery was beautiful.
Dislikes/hates: Vikings. They had a habit of raiding his homeland and eventually settled in the lands and the vikings forced his people to accept their ways. He has a strong hatred toward them because during one of their raids, his parents were killed at the hands of vikings. He has no respect for those who disrespect his culture. He doesn't like it when others bother him to the point where his attitude flares, and Brialdur hates his "nickname" that was given to him by some kids who found out that he lived among the sheep after his parents' death. Whenever he hears "sheepy", all Brialdur can think of is the night of his mother and father's deaths.
Fears: His biggest fear is that he becomes separated from those closest to him. This happens to him a lot, and this is the reason why Brialdur tends to get overly protective and passionate to people who are close to him.
He fears flying, dragons, and wolves His fear for flying and dragons go hand-in-hand; when he was younger, after he stopped living among the sheep flocks, Brialdur was raised by vikings who were dragon slayers. One time, his village was attacked in a dragon raid and he saw half of the warriors he was with get blasted by a flame from some airbon dragon (it was too dark and he didn't get a chance to make out what breed of dragon it was (not that he wanted to anyway) and die. The event messed him up pretty much and since then, Brialdur has been scared of dragons. He is afriad of flying because he can't cope with the feeling of having his feet any more than six feet off the ground (except for climbing trees; he knows he'll fall straight down to the solid earth below him), and he was dropped from a very high height by a Deadly Nadder when he was younger
History: Brialdur used to live with his parents on an island far away from any of the ones that were known to Berk. He, his mother and father were the "average family"; Brialdur's father taught him how to fight and whale like the other men of their country did, and his mother was a house wife. Up until Brialdur turned nine years old, they stuck together.
He was never unfamiliar with death, in fact, young Brialdur faced death almost every day. And death had a name he would never forget: Vikings. Originally, there was peace and order on the island, but the new arrivals, vikings, discovered the country and raided it, killings the people living there and stealing whatever they could get their hands on: sheep, precious jewelry, food...you name it, the vikings took it. At first Brialdur was terrified of the attacks, but since they kept happening frequently throughout his life, the young boy learned to deal with hiding in his house armed with nothing but a dagger to protect himself and his mother as his father, who was only but a fisherman, went out to protect his village. His father always came back, though, and Brialdur began to grow a little less frightened at the thought of his father being killed during a raid. However, that contentment lasted only for a short while. During one raid, a few weeks after Brialdur's ninth birthday, some vikings decided that they'd burn down the village to make it easier to be taken by force. Brialdur was not anywhere near his house when the raid began, but he ran all the way from the woods back home. He arrived just in time to see his home on fire, his mother and father were not in there though. Instead, some vikings had the couple executed outside the burning building. Right where Brialdur could see from his spot hidden in the bushes. He ran after that, and later in life called himself a coward for doing so...but what would he have been able to do without getting himself killed? He was only a child.
Brialdur resided on another island not too far away from the one he was born and raised on. He later found out that the majority of his country was taken by vikings for a short time, but surprisingly, they lost power, or interest -or both- and left. However Brialdur wasn't able to return home, not with the weight of his mother and father's death hanging onto him. There weren't many people living on the island he was now on, just sheep and a few stout ponies and flocks of birds. Brialdur began to live among the sheep. He sheered them for their wool to keep himself warm, ate their meat, and took care of them.
Three years of living like this pasted until he realized that the island he resided on had slowly began to become populated with people...who were actually from the same land where the vikings who killed his family were from. Disgusted and angered at their audacity to even return to his country after they left it shattered and broken, he ended up moving farther toward the opposite coastline of the island where he lived and he came to the homeland of the vikings who destroyed his home.
By that time, Brialdur was very sick and weak, having been out on the water with limited food supplies for more than a few days. He was soon taken in by a lonely couple who had no children of their own. Though Brialdur at first despised them because of what their people did, the boy learned to love them later on. He worked as a fisherman and shepherd but was called in to fight alongside the warriors when an unusually large dragon horde attacked the island; the beasts stole their livestock and destroyed their homes, but with the effort of all the men, even the ones not ranked as warriors, they managed to drive all but one dragon off. The men captured a Deadly Nadder and tried to tame the creature. Unfortunately, Brialdur was trying to prove to the other vikings in his village that, though he was the youngest, he was capable of training a dangerous beast. Once he climbed on, the dragon immediately took into the skies and after doing an array of aerial acrobatics, the dragon flew above the island and managed to drop Brialdur from high up in the air. The teen broke his leg and fractured his collarbone, but other than that he was okay. Except that he was left permanently scared of both dragons, heights, and flying afterwards.
Brialdur left after the dragon raids become all too frequent and the land became barren due to the creatures pelting the island with fire. Everyone started to starve because they had no more livestock left, and all of the island's inhabitants left as well. Brialdur sailed to the East for months on end until he came to a part in the ocean where there were larger islands scattered about. He didn't try to visit many of them because they were unfamiliar and seemed hostile; he ended up sailing to the Isle of Berk in a few days and was immediately disgusted at the fact that vikings lived there as well. Brialdur had to deal with it though. He had no place else to live. Things turned up for him sooner than he hoped; he befriended some of Berk's inhabitants and they began to loosen their hostility to the foreigner.
Trivia
-Brialdur never says the real name of the island he was born on. He only refers to it as Farway Island
-I was redesigning one of my other fandom-related FCs, and as I was redrawing him, I figured that he could work as a HTTYD character
-But I liked his design too much to change it
-So I kept it, and edited his information to fit into the HTTYD universe
Relationship to the HTTYD universe: Brialdur currently resides on the Isle of Berk and lives in the same village as Hiccup and his friends do. He's befriended the majority of the teens from Hiccup's group.
Relationships to other characters and their dragons:
Hiccup: They are on good terms with each other. Him and Toothless...not so much; the Nightfury is extrememly wary of his rider hanging around Brialdur, and registers the other's fear of him as Brialdur wanting to harm Hiccup. So Toothless does his best to protect his friend at all costs, and the rare run-ins between these two don't end very well.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut: He doesn't consider the twins as "friends", but he does enjoy their company on occasion, but other times, Brialdur can't stand their constant bickering. Barf and Belch, their Hideous Zippleback, doesn't pay much attention to Brialdur.
Fishlegs: There has never been a day where Brialdur and Fishlegs have had bad encounters between themselves; they get along very well, almost like best friends. Meatlug is quite friendly towards Brialdur as well.
Snotlout: The two of them often compete over the most childish of things. They don't hate each other, but they technically don't like each other either; both of them keep trying to outdo the other. His dragon, Hookfang, doesn't hesitate to show Brialdur his bad side. They're not on good terms.
Astrid: Love-hate relationship; they tend to fuss over the smallest of things, too, but they still love each other, not in a romantic type of way...well, the "love" is one-sided on Brialdur's part. Both Brialdur and Astrid are still trying to figure out the other; they've only known each other for about a month now, but they don't spend that much time together so Astrid and Brialdur can't really gather enough information on each other. Stormfly seems to like him though, even if she does show her affection to Brialdur on certain days
Ásta: Again, it is a love-hate relationship. And again, the "love" part of their relationship is one-sided, but that doesn't stop Brialdur from constantly hanging around the pirate. She doesn't seem to like his company and sometimes uses him to dish out her anger on. Her dragon doesn't approve of Brialdur's presence either and will often shoot small grouts of lava at him
