1) What's the strangest custom you've seen in your travels?
I do not know if you've ever been through Kaer Maga. It is a massive city full of people from all walks of life. It was there I saw the trolls of that city slit their own bellies, pull out their entrails, and read their steaming innards as divining devices. If you can look at that and not find it bizarre you've led a much stranger life than me!
2) What cultural tradition/ritual from your people do you uphold whenever possible?
In my homeland, the Linnorm people observe "weregild". It is an honor system that states that all life and property has its price and the neeedless destruction of either is despicable. Any hostages or treasure taken in the field of battle must be returned to the loser if they can pay the right price. These terms may only be waived in times of war. Otherwise not even a Linnorm king can deny weregild. This is something all warriors of my homeland hold in their hearts.
3) How far are you willing to go to sate your appetites?
My uncle taught me to throw fear an inhibition to the winds. A true kings desires must be monstrous! I must give into lust and greed and live the life of 100 men. For that is the kind of man men would follow into battle!
4) What would you consider to be your greatest strength? Greatest weakness? Deepest fear? Proudest accomplishment?
A warrior is only as great as the men who fight with him. One day I'll have swords pledged to me, but for now I must grow strong and prove myself. That being said, my greatest strength is my size! More than once has it compensated for an opponents speed or skill.
My only weakness is inexperience. I may not be educated but I have seen the potential of strategy. If I could find someone that could read I'd have them teach me!
My deepest fear is that I will die before I can return home. I must risk much to be a king, but...I have my doubts. I'll leave it at that.
My proudest accomplishment was earning my first axe from my uncle! He said it was his in his fighting day. On my 14th birthday he gave it to me for beating him in a test of strength! I will never let this out of my sight for one day I'll use it to restore my uncle's honor.
As a potential for bonds...
Amy ~ Gleus would be interested in learning about Sarenrae. Particularly her warrior-crusader side.
Keith ~ Gleus grew up near the Fae-filled, enchanted woods of Linnorm. He might actually be very relatable...or suspicious of you.
Silvio ~ It sounds like Silvio is an experienced man. Gleus would love to hear tales about Cheliax.
Chaney ~ Gleus isnt terribly smart himself but he loves to hear written strategy. Gleus would like to read it himself. Chaney could teach him.
Boram ~ Gleus is also fairly cheerful. These two could become fast friends, bonded by their extreme height difference.
YBD, I'm on central time. Usually post early in the morning. On slower days at work I'll post all throughout the day when I can. Rarely get on during the evenings/weekends.
