Halvar the Stormbreaker

**Halvar** is an important character from the **Record of Tavern** verse. He is a strong warrior from the Viking age who joined the Tavern after death.

He takes part in the tournament between Aegis and Pagun, as a fighter for Pagun. He fights against Norman during the 6th round.

## Appearance

Halvar is a tall and well built man, measuring at 198 cm and 84 kgs. He wears a black sleeveless shirt that reaches up to his neck with gold outlines. He also wears white and gold gloves that reach up to the middle section of his hands and black or white pants depending on if he’s fighting or not. An outfit that’s not normal for a Viking. His defining features include his long black hair that reaches his legs, his blue eyes, and his muscular body.

## Personality

Halvar is a wild man that is mostly dedicated to his own goals. Which involves facing the God of Thunder, Thor, becoming the new God of Thunder after acquiring divinity, and after the events of Round 6, protecting and living alongside his family that he had failed to been around for thanks to his first ambition. He’s often starting fights out of boredom and freely causes issues for other characters as he desires. This mannerism brought by his Viking origins has led to the pillaging of Pagun’s chair from his room, participating in the standoff of the first meeting, allowing his family to do whatever they feel like, and appearing and disappearing from the team meetings whenever he feels so inclined. And while being problematic, he has no personal judgement against anyone from the Tavern. Displaying this in his battle against Norman where he speaks to Leonhart and remembers the things he used to talk about in the Tavern before respecting his wishes of not using a space warping ability, listening to Otakemajin when they requested for him to attempt to finish his match in one blow, and becoming close to his opponent, Norman, during their match. All of this however, does not stop him from easily going off against them if he or they feel so inclined.

## Background

Halvar had a simple background, he was born into an average nordic family, at least from what was portrayed to the outsiders. But the stormbreaker himself was anything other than average, he was born with superhuman strength and possessed the ability to do unnatural feats casually. He would win any of his raids as a viking without effort, never getting to unleash his full potential in a fight. After decades of such a life he became tired and bored, without an equal to fight Halvar saw no reason in continuing, that was until thunder struck on him from above. The fighter saw this as an invitation from Thor, and decided to go on a long voyage to find the God and beat him in a one on one battle, leaving his children and wife back in the village. But after years of adventuring Halvar saw no trace of the god, and upon returning back to his village, he would find everything in ruins, sending the man into a deep cry of anguish. After his untimely death, Halvar was greeted by an angel in the afterlife, who would repeatedly inform Halvar of the myth of the old gods, the beings that do not exist. Halvar, angered, would kill the angel and after many years he would too be invited to the final battle by Aegis and Pagun.

## Powers and abilities

* **Aura of the Sea Emperor:** As thanks to his unparalleled physical strength and overbearing personality, he now possesses an overwhelming aura that burst out of his very being that can change into violent shapes when he gets emotional. An aura deserving to the one who conquered the sea’s with strength alone, anyone too weak willed to stand before him will find themselves too uncomfortable to look away from him and feel ready to run at any given moment. It even has effects on other fighters, though only enough to gain their focus and cannot make them feel like running.
* **Blessing of The God of Thunder:** when his heart was struck by a sudden lightning bolt, he had been blessed with the ability to use lightning at will without consequences to his body.
	+ **Terror of The Sea Techniques:** A mixture of his overwhelming physical strength and elemental skills, TOTS techniques are incredibly powerful attacks that are capable of overwhelming opponents easily and quickly with each one being a finishing blow in its self.
	+ **True Terror of The Sea Techniques:** Slip's true final moves, created from and built off of his original terrors. Utilizing every last drop of power in his muscles and further developing their firepower by truly letting loose his 'divine blessing' and using it in perfect sync with his strength. Only the damage left behind by the shockwaves of the attacks have been shown so far, the result of being hit directly with one...is assumed to not be pretty.

## Relationships

* **Lycka:** Their relationship is that of a husband and wife.
* **Hilda:** Halvar shares a father-daughter relationship with Hilda.
* **Haldor:** Halvar shares a father-son relationship with Haldor.
* **Pagun:** He holds enough respect for Pagun to work alongside him, but he doesn’t show as much.
