[sblock=Fighter Class Features]
Weapon And armor Proficiency: A fighter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, light, and medium) and shields (including tower shields).
A viking is not proficient with heavy armor or tower shields.
Bonus Feats: At 1st level, and at every even level thereafter, a fighter gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement (meaning that the fighter gains a feat at every level). These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as Combat Feats, sometimes also called “fighter bonus feats.”
Upon reaching 4th level, and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, and so on), a fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned. In effect, the fighter loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or other ability. A fighter can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus feat for the level.
Fearsome: At 2nd level, a viking can make an Intimidate check to demoralize an opponent as a move action. At 10th level, she can do so as a swift action. At 18th level, she can demoralize a foe as a free action once per round.
This ability replaces bravery.
Shield DefenseStarting at 3rd level, a viking learns the art of fighting with a shield. Whenever she is wearing medium, light, or no armor and wielding a shield, the viking’s shield bonus to AC increases by 1. Every 4 levels thereafter (7th, 11th, and 15th), this bonus increases by 1.
This ability replaces armor training.
Bezerker: At 4th level, a viking gains the rage ability as the barbarian class feature, but her barbarian level is considered to be her fighter level –3.
This ability replaces weapon training 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Rage Powers: Starting at 6th level, whenever a viking gains a fighter bonus feat, she can instead choose to gain a single rage power, as the barbarian class feature, in place of the bonus feat. Once selected, these rage powers cannot be changed.

Eye Color: Blue
Skin Color: Fair
Appearance: Sigvald is a handsome, tall, well-build youth. His blond hair hands to his shoulders, while his beard, is short, dense and red about the chin.

Clean limbed and broad shouldered, he possesses strength with an ease of movement that translates well in combat.
Demeanor: Sigvald is an outgoing, gregarious person. Quick with a joke, or laugh, he gets along with most people. Except when he has been drinking, then the bezerk can take hold of him.

[sblock=Background]
Sigvald was born in the far northern Kingdom of Njora. Njora is a vassal state to Car-Ni-Micar, and though they still have a King, they pay tribute and are considered part of the Kingdom, though they operate under some of their own laws. Sigvald grew up in the traditional manner of young men, learning to sail and to fight. His aspiration was to follow his father in going a-viking, or raiding on the great longboats. Sigvald’s father Ottar the Bear Haakonsson was a jarl, or chief in the kingdom, governing one of the many coastal villages.
In the Spring after Sigvald’s 18th winter, he took the Trials of the Warrior along with all the other men turning 18. This was an important moment, Freemen did not have to take the trial, but anyone who wanted to be in the warrior caste had to, and that of course included all the males of the jarls. The Trials are brutal tests of endurance, strength and survival. Sigvald passed his Trials with ease, he was after all the son of Ottar the Bear, one of the strongest (and hairiest) men in the Kingdom. Sigvald took after his father in physical attributes. After his trial he was allow to stop shaving, and start growing the beard of a warrior.
The newly-minted warrior, took that summer to go raiding. He proved his worth on board ship, as well as in a fight and acquired some treasure and glory for himself. Sigvald had a comfortable winter. Come the next Spring he looked forward to seeing some of his friends take the Trials. But the King had a second announcement, a Thing was called for all the Chieftans. The week after the Trials of the Warrior, there would be a second event, a competition. While the Trials aren’t ranked, you just have to survive, this competition was looking for a winner. The High King of Car-Ni-Micar was looking for retainers for the royal family. By treaty Njora was bound to send 5 of their best young men to fill these positions. One skald, one craftsman, one rune caster, one lightfoot (a Freeman warrior –light infantry) and one Viking of the warrior caste. Sigvald competed of course in the Viking slot. Various events including rock throwing, swimming, archery, caber tossing, and combat with wooden swords were held. Sigvald beat out 20 other young men to take the honor. So young Sigvald was off to the South, to fulfill an honor debt, to fulfill an oath.

After he was selected, Sigvald heard that his cousin, the son of his mother's sister who had married a lord closer to the captial, had also been selected. Sigvald had met Henry a few times, he had gotten his size from his mother and had become a warrior as well, kind of though Sigvald. They fought wars strangely down there. What was it he was saying last time? He was a skald now? Anyway, it would be nice to have kin down there, Henry wasn't a bad sort, though Sigvald didn't know him very well, blood is blood.

Appearance: Sigvald is a handsome, tall, well-build youth. His blond hair hands to his shoulders, while his beard, is short, dense and red about the chin. Sigvald was only allowed to start growing his beard once he passed the Trials of Manhood after his 18th winter. Clean limbed and broad shouldered, he possesses strength with an ease of movement that translates well in combat. He wears some of the traditional garb of the north, but much less the longer he stays in the employ of the Prince.

15 days before he was due to fulfill his people's honor debt. That day a young boy came running to fetch him down at the docks where he was working, he said it was an urgent matter and he was needed home. Rushing home he found a Herald from the High King waiting in his house, looking very cold and miserable despite the roaring fire in the hearth. He was given a second message. the first of course had confirmed his selection as a retainer, a mere formality in his mind as he had won the contest. This new message was different though. His mind began to begin thinking of his trip in earnest and to what he might bring to represent himself, his homeland and his ability to serve. He wondered idly if he could bring an entire longship through the portal......

10 days before he was due to report Sigvald was again surprised when he was called away to receive not one but three letters. He took them and opened them and read them carefully. he ended up having to climb up into the hills to get away from the curious. He smiled as he met Ragnar the smith, who had also he selected also climbing the hills, three letters in his hand. Sigvald waved but gave him his space and headed onto a different path. He snorted as he read the first letter. "If a man has wronged me enough to warrant 15 years in prison, he would be dead or have paid the wereguild, I have no need of that one." So Sigvald carefully packed away the first warrant to release someone from prison. "Might need it myself at some point" he mused as he got to the second letter.

"Hrmm" said Sigvald "That is a pretty penny for sure. Though I know some men have come back from raids with a hundred times that. Still there is honor in this and I shall not be poor for it. As to the starting funds, well only a fool would give any money back. At worst I will buy a wagons worth of ale!" he laughed. Still his mind was going adding up all the items and weapons he might need, especially those he knew were made best in the north.

The third letter was his passage. He had 5 days to decide if he wanted to head early. It was tempting. The captial of Car-Ni-Micar was supposed to be amazing, and while he had raided a few cities, he hadn't exactly been able to appreciate everything.

With the flurry of letters addressed directly to you and your silence regarding them some family members begin to mutter about a swollen head, forgetting who scaraficed to get you the appointment etc

7 days before the summoning, Sigvald receives yet another letter, he gives an apologetic shrug to his father as he scowls at him. Opening the letter though he swears. Where would he get that much food. It would deplete the food stores of the village. Money or no, he could take all the food. He sighed, there was only one place to go. he had planned on going there anyway for the other command, but now there was a double reason. He had traveled around to the local villages buying up the things he felt he needed to bring. A few things like the bracelets he had made for him. The cattle were hard to come by, even though he had the money, it was hard to find anyone willing to part with any. So he bought them in four different villages. But for 6,000 meals there was only one place. King Halfdan's castle.

Ass is his custom in the early afternoon King Halfdan has settle into a tankard of rum with a well bousemed lass upon his lap.

The guards do stop you at the entry and ask your business.

"Sigvald Ottarsson, here to see King Halfdan on an errand from High King Vasa" replies Sigvald with just a slight air of pride.
