== Background / Personal history: ==
* Grew up in a mountain village nearby Mount Hokkaido, often playing pretend adventures with his older brother Eventyr.
* Known as 'Little Thunder of the Valley' for his exuberant victory shouts during play.
* Adventurous spirit nurtured by supportive parents; "Valley Kids" moniker earned for time spent in the valley with his brother.
* Became an avid storyteller, chronicling his imagined adventures in books throughout adolescence.
* Joined his brother on real adventures, losing him and close comrades in a tragic battle.
* On one adventure with his brother, Marabelle Noble and Gorb Bjorb the group was investigating a forest nearby the Fae-Realm when they were looped into an illusion by a Fae Trickster called Tikoloshe. Tikoloshe had the four of them trapped and lost in the forest for days. Eventually Tord was able to find Eventyr and Maraballe was able to find Gorb. Growing tired and scared of this illusion Marabelle broke first and made a deal with Tikoloshe to secure her and Gorb's escape from the illusion; dooming Eventyr and Tord in the process. Eventyr realized what had happened and sacrificed himself to free Tord from the illusion so he could survive. When Tord awoke from the illusion Eventyrs body was lying lifeless on the forest floor and Mirabar and Gorb were gone. He hasn't seen them since.
* Experienced a period of recklessness, taking on small jobs to avoid large responsibilities.
* Developed a penchant for forming quick relationships, often getting involved in others' troubles.
* Uses storytelling as a coping mechanism and wishes to create a positive legacy through a book for his future family.
* Fear of loss and trauma from past battles inform his actions and decision-making.
* Carries scars and tattoos in memory of lost allies; wears a breastplate and woven bamboo fabric for protection.
* Often refuses food due to a delicate appetite, wears glasses for distance vision, and is strong but lacks fortitude.
* Travels with a sugar glider named Shug, who he found injured and is nursing back to health.
== Things I would like to explore in future episodes: ==
* I would like to explore where Marabelle is now, as well as Gorb, and play on the rivalry a bit. 
** Gorb is a heel to Tord, always in the way and pestering him. Gorb has always tried to one-up Tord and would go to any extreme to get a reaction out of Tord.
** Marabelle is a figure that Tord views as innocent, especially since they had a previous fling. Marabelle is secretly responsible for the loss of Tord's brother, Eventyr and this is something she keeps close to her chest. Tord is completely unaware of Marabelle's involvement, in whatever aspect she had in Eventyr's death but is suspicious of her relationship with Gorb.
* I would like to eventually have a reunion with my father and mother and have the difficult talk of telling them Eventyr has passed.
* I would like to find a way to get my pet sugar glider, Shug's gliding membrane fixed or enhanced if possible as she is injured.
* I would like have the chance to interact with different characters and NPC's and see how the relationships naturally play out between each of us.
* Tord doesn't like receiving physical gifts per say, instead he would rather his victories uplift and benefit those around him, whether it be NPC's or his party members.
* I enjoy a lot of different adventures, mixtures of roleplay, social encounters and combat are fun. I'm not the best at puzzles but that's part of the fun too!
* I would like to find and deal with Tikoloshe to avenge my brother.
