Personality:
Sven is loud and present. He laughs from his gut, dances with reckless abandon, and looks you in the eye when he's talking at you). He cares a lot about his appearance, and is wildly superstituous. Above all else, he seeks glory---a name that will be remembered. His inspiration comes from the Norse notion of Valhalla -- a warrior heaven where only the most deserving join an eternity of feasting and battle.
This is the root of most of his loud personality and grand actions. You don't hide if you seek to be noticed. He tends towards the emotional extremes anyway in most situations, whether that's extreme rage, or mirth, or sorrow. In his pride he assumes that everyone is watching him anyway, especially the gods. So even when it seems others might not notice his actions, he feels the weight of scrutiny, ensuring bold actions even in secret.
Because the gods clearly must have taken a great interest in him, he sees omens and portents in just about everything, and is careful to follow a regimen of superstitions.
Finally, he takes a great interest in women, as the messengers of the gods often masquerade as such. This pushes him to often try and dazzle them, often seeking company with the most enticing. But he also fears them for the same reason. If they are indeed messengers, then they hold a lot of weight and power. The thought of upsetting such a being is one of the few things that intimidates Sven.
