Jöfurr Image

Sold to the temple at a young age and raised amongst the Bersekers, Ulfheðnar and other Jöfurr to serve as the Gods holy warriors in times of conquest. You have faced all manner of enemies with your brothers in a frenzied rage, offering mercy for none as you bear down on them wearing nothing but the skin of a boar, a sword and shield. Unlike the rest of your culture you have less ability to mingle with society, having lived and survived in the wilds as the animal whose skin you wear.

 
Skill Proficiencies: Religion, Intimidation, Survival, Stealth
Tool Proficiencies: Boats, Herbalist tools, Cooking utensils
Equipment: Boar skin, Mortar and Pestle, Cooking utensils.
 
Feature: Beast Warrior

As a Jöfurr you have become so intuned with your chosen animal that you can convince others that you are this animal so long as you have your animal skin equipped. In this state you can commune with boars and you gain a bonus to intimidation. You can also use this state to convince other animal warriors to provide you assistance.

As a renowned Berserker people within war tribes are aware of your reputation and if they pass an intimidation check will be likely to attack you to prove their abilities, failing the intimidation check will make them subservient to you until you leave, in which case you will need to pass a new intimidation check.

Suggested Characteristics

Berserkers are a rough and violent group, however they're not without interests in mortal pursuits. You have a keen interest in religion and ardently worship your chosen God.
You know what it means to be part of a unit and cherish those who fight besides you, regardless of their origins, as long as they spill blood for you - you will do the same.

d6 Ideal
1 Respect. Leadership isn't won it's earned through action and strength. (Neutral)
