- Prove yourself, then we talk.
- It is not something that he talks open about, but Hrolf prefers people who are direct, open, and says what's on their mind. After all, a lot of his champions were men who came to speak with him directly. It is not like this is the only qualifier for him to like or respect you, but it certainly helps.
Though should he be partnered with a quite or introvert master, he might push said master to voice his opinion, or in worsen cases, grow a spine.

- Boisterous
- Not the worst among his peers, but by today’s standard he is still quite boisterous; drinks, food, dance, singing it's all good. However, when someone starts to knock over chairs, tables, or breaking stuff in general; or taunts someone into a deadly duals... he steps in to stop it!
- Generous
- If Krolf didn't appear as being generous in your eyes, then you have probably landed on his bad side; as he were known to grant gifts for even the smallest favours bestowed upon him. He is a good tipper too.
One such time he showed such behavior, were when a servant of his mother, name Vöggr, remarked that Hrolf have the thin face of a pole ladder, a kraki. Liking the name, he gave Vöggr a gold ring as thanks.

- A bit of an arse.
- Hrolf is a good and honest man, and got the reputation of such a man. However, there are times when he is just a little but of an arse.
Like that one time when his brother-in-law "King Hjordvard" and he, were standing outside when Hrolf needed to take off his trouser-belt, so he gave his sword to Hjorvard till he was done. When done, he took back his sword and turned towards Hjordvard whom now was bound by tradition to serve Hjolf, since he had carried another man's sword who had his pants down.
He also likes to tease, and when in battle, to taunt his opponents.

MY LEGEND: //[/color]
The Wikipedia artical.
About Skofnung.
The long version of his story. Note that his part starts at Part six, but the chapters before contains some of the backstory of a few of the champions, as well as Hrolf's father and mother.
MY HISTORY[/color]: //
MY GOALS[/color]: //
Skofnung - "My Trusted sword Skofnung, oh how I loved its song as it cut through the bone of my foes."
The sword wielded by Hrolf Kraki, that is said to be the best of all swords that have been carried in northern lands, and were renowned for supernatural sharpness and hardness, as well as for being imbued with the spirits of the king's 12 faithful champions.
The sword is also said to have other abilities, but those only appeared is Sagas that took place after Hrolf's dead, and when his sword was stolen from the burial-mound where he was buried.
Shield - A common round-shield made from wood and metal. It has no identifying markers.
NOBLE PHANTASM[/color]: //
Skofnung - The best of all swords that have been carried in northern lands.
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 1
Max Targets: 1 person.
Skofnung is a sword known for its sturdiness and sharp edge; an edge so sharp, that it is said that it sings as it cuts through the armor and bones of its target.
This is realized by the sword possessing an armor piercing property, that treats enemy endurance as if it were one rank lower (B->C, A->B, etc). The armor piercing effect is such it can only at most, treat a target's END as if it were E, and no lower than that.

Fall of King Adil's hall - Or how to escape a locked down and burning lordhouse.
Rank: C (B, when another servant is aiding him)
Type: Anti-Fortress
Range: 1
Max Targets: 1
This Noble Phantasm is a crystallized of when Hrolf and Bodvar were trying to escape from the lordhouse, King Adil, had trapped them inside by running through the wall.
When activated, Hrolf can use this NP to break through and/or escape a Fortress NP (or a similar effect where an Anti-Fortess NP be used to damage or dispel its effect), that is meant to contain him.
Hrolf can preform this feat by himself, or with the help of a willing Servant who have at least a strength rank of B or more. In case he is aided, this NP counts as if it was rank B, while still keeping the cost at a rank C.

Habrok, the brave hawk
Rank: D
Type: Support
Range: 1-30
Max Targets: 1.
Habrok is the hawk that Hrolf brought with him on his journey to King Adil's keep. The act that made this hawk part of Hrolf's Saga, was when it by own initiative exited the loft where it and the Kings Adil's hawks were kept, as the fight between Hrolf and Adil's men broke out. But not before killing all the of king's hawks.
As a result, Habrok is now a familiar like being tied to Hrolf, whom can use “Shared Perception” to see what it sees. When summoned it stays in existance until it's been disbanded, 30 minutes has passed, or if killed.
The hawk's stats:

*It is not strong enough to kill humans, but animals like dogs, cats, birds, mice, etc. are fair game.
It also has Clairvoyance C as a personal skill. [/quote]
CLASS ABILITIES[/color]: //
Magic Resistance B - Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for him to be affected.
Having defeated King Adil, a man known for delving into spells and magic, and having fought a long battle with his half-elven-sister Skuld, Hrolf have seen enough magic in his days for it to be known to him.
Riding B - Most creatures can be rode with above average skill. However, cannot ride those of Demoniac Beast and Holy Beast-rank.
SKILLS[/color]: //
Charisma B - Suitable for a king of a country. Hrolf was a wise king who ruled his kingdom to prosparity, and had many underkings; either under his banner, or paying him tribute.
Battle Continuation C - Strength of vitality for predicaments; It’s the ability to remain alive, withdraw from combat, and reach allied territory alive after being defeated. At this rank, it’s possible to fight even with deadly injuries and can remain alive for a medium amount of time. The user is also capable of ignoring all penalties that damage might cause while still suffering in the end through amassed battle damage.
"I've survived the tests of freezing cold and drought creating heat that Farmer Hrani threw at me. I bore fire from the bonfires, that king Adil forced my champions and I to bare. I broke through a wall of a solid house, with my champion Bodvar by my side, then fought the whole of Adil's garrison for a day with no one but my twelve champions aiding me. I've fought the army of my sister Skuld, holding the line, until her blade cut me down. But not before, having fought for hours, both man, creatures, fairies, and the dead. That is what I've survived or fought throughout my life, son."
Golden Rule B- - Measures one’s fortune to acquire wealth and represent the accumulated wealth that one possesses. At this skill level, one can easily gather monetary resources under a short amount of time, but will not keep it.
Hrolf had many underking whom payed him a handsome tribute, as well as being a successful raider. For this reason, his treasury never had the oppetunity to gather dust. However, he was also known to be very generous, giving gold and silver to all those that he thought had served him well.
Within this treasury, he also have the gold ring "Svíagris" and that silver drinking horn his mother gave him when he left King Adil's keep. Neither of 'em have any noteworthy abilities to speak off, and only the ring has any recognizable traits to anyone who has heard of its rumors. But who knows, maybe he can do the same trick he did in Fyrisvellir.
Instinct D - Ability to "feel" incoming danger and learn which direction it is coming from, but not what shape it forms (Arrow, sword, giant laser beams of death).
