Thread: Tempt's HISTORICAL Thread ~ Vikings/Renaissance/WWII+ *NEW: FairyTales* Updated:02/27

RE POST 2 Sagas, History, and Fiction I'm searching roleplays that will take place in the Viking Age of the Early Middle Ages! I'm looking for something loosely andor heavily based on the History Channel TV series Vikings , Netflix's The Last Kingdom, ANDOR general Viking Age historical accounts. In particular, I'm looking to play a female Original Character OC - see the details below. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - REGARDING NON-NORSE VIKING CHARACTERS Can you play one? ABSOLUTELY!!! You are not at all limited to playing a Viking andor Norsemen. I am fully open to pairing one of my characters up with another relevant male character suitable for a Middle Ages Viking Age roleplay. This includes but is certainly not limited to - Anglo-Saxon characters - Varangian characters - Byzantine Empire related characters - PriestsBishops whatever - Warriors soldiers from other countriesorigins - Celts, Scotts, etc. - Franks, Germanic peoples, SLAVS - literally the list is endless!!! - Whoever the hell you damn please. SEND ME YOUR IDEAS! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Vikings TV SHOW Male Characters Canon Historical characters that I'd be interested to play against - King Ragnar Lothbrok - Rollo Lothbrok - Athelstan - Kalf with short or long hair Ragnar's Sons - Bjorn Ironside Lothbrok - Ubbe Lothbrok - Ivar the Boneless Lothbrok Ivar is a cripple. He is portrayed in the show as having some sort of congenital disease, such as a form of Arthrogryposis, or perhaps even muscle dystrophy in his legs. The extent and the type of deformation can be determined by you. The history books don't identify a specific cause to his disorder, simply outlining that he could not walk use his legs due to unknown factors. - Hvitserk Lothbrok - Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye Lothbrok I don't particularly like the actor they chose for Sigurd, and would ideally want this faceclaim to be changed. Heahmund Knight of Templar Warrior Bishop Heahmund is the newest character to the VIKINGS TV series on History Channel. He is being played by Johnathan Rhys-Meyers, though the character will only be launching in Season 5 upcoming. HOWEVER - I really love the actor and I adore the character concept. In the show, Heahmund based entirely on a real historical individual is a warrior bishop Bishop of Sherborne who is both a deeply religious and a practicing Christian, but also an exceptional warrior and soldier. The Knights of Templar were bishops or priests who preached in robes but fought in armor - an extremely rare and unlikely combination in history. Despite being a bishop, his character is seen having sex with a grieving widow at the end of the fourth season in a preview. This could add an interesting twist to the whole holy man vs soldier notion. If you'd like to play this character or a character SIMILAR to Heahmund - I am more than willing to consider that! You may play a separate Knight of Templar - another priest or bishop who also serves as a warrior. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Uhtred of Bebbanburg Main character from the Netflix series The Last Kingdom. Also based originally on the book series of the same title by Bernard Cornwell Please refer to Wikipedia for the character's biography. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Important to Note - Any of these actors face claims can be changed if you prefer to use your own image for these notable historical figures! - You may also portray these characters however you wish. They are canon but free to your own creative interpretations. They do not have to resemble their personas personalities from the show. I also have a plethora of Viking men photos which you can also use. You can access the gallery here Viking Age - Males I am also interested in pairing my own OCs against your own male Original Characters. In this case, please PM me with a description and bio for your OC as well as the female characters you are interested in pairing against. For my available Female Characters, see below!
