Name: Ragnar Torvaldsson
Canon/Original: Original
Alias/Codename: Viking
Age: 21
Height: 6’9
Weight: 280s lbs
Place of birth: Norway
Place of residence: Xavier’s institute for higher learning
Affiliations: X-students

Appearance: Ragnar unusually gives people a rather intimidating first impression, this is due to his massive size and stature. His face consists of a very strong and distinct, round chin, with equally round cheeks. Not fat in any way, just not sharp or pointy. His mouth looks relatively normal upon first inspection, but as soon as Ragnar opens his mouth to either speak or eat it’s size seems to increase greatly. He has pearly white teeth that a strong and healthy after many years of steadily brushing his teeth.

Like a great number of typical ”bricks” Ragnar looks unusually muscular, has a set of broad shoulders, muscular over and underarms and not to mention strong legs. In many ways he resembles a slightly toned down Hercules or Thor, as he has muscles but not the size of the ”stronger” heroes. Ragnar could still pass as a regular citizen and human being, albeit he possesses traditional Scandinavian features which would give him away as a foreigner. Like one would expect, he has blue eyes and blonde hair.

As far as clothing has generally changed upon his relocation in America, originally he wore thick clothing, a lot of jumpers, thick socks and brown winter boots. Upon moving to a slightly warmer climate Ragnar started wearing little more than shirts and jeans, or shorts. Inside the mansion and in the gardens he prefers to walk barefooted. He’s not very good when it comes to matching colours and making the right attire, meaning that he can come off as something of a dork.

Ragnar usually doesn’t look as scary as this though Pic by Mad Jojo

Personality: Just like any other person from Norway Ragnar possesses a keen intellect on par with Mr.Fantastic and Dr.Doom…..well, not quite. Ragnar is a generally upbeat guy despite his fearsome appearance. He is not completely fluent in English, resulting in some of his sentences sounding wrong and producing a distinguishable accent. This give s a lot of people the impression that he’s slow, or not as smart as the rest of the students, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Ragnar is a relatively intelligent young man, but doesn’t mind letting people think that they have an intellectual advantage. There are mainly three things that interest him and take up his daily life, nature, brawling and food. At best he would be fighting someone out in the woods, while eating a sandwich. In battle, he is very much alike his usual self outside of battle. Friendly, in a good mood and very thick skinned. His patience when it comes to dealing with people is naturally derived from spending so many years with his little siblings.

This young man is not one who takes offence easily, but while he doesn’t mind people making jokes at his expense he CAN differ between jokes made for fun, and insults made to hurt. On the mutant issue Ragnar was pulled towards Xavier’s for a reason, while he enjoys fighting for fun, he does not enjoy actual fighting between mutants and human. He dreams of a peaceful co-existence and is especially tolerant when it comes to prejudice and hate, unlike many young mutants.

Powers: Ragnar possesses superhuman strength, durability and stamina. This enables him to press up to 35 ton under extreme measures, withstand high calibre bullets, a decent resistance to heat and cold, as well as perform at peak performance for hours without tiring.

In addition to these powers his body recuperates after injuries roughly twice as fast a regular human, and his agility and speed are equal to that of a man who regularly trains and runs. In addition to considerable strength and durability Ragnar is able to leap hundreds of feet at a time, using his impressive leg muscles.
Power potential: Ragnar’s strength can grow a lot, so can his resistance.
Other skills: Ragnar speaks Norwegian and has the equivalent of a high school diploma and is working a bachelor in biology. Proficient in the use of hammers.
Equipment: Ragnar has his x-student suit and in battle he usually sports a Viking Helmet and during Cerebro training sessions, he will use a titanium mallet.

History: Ragnar was born in the majestic city known simply as Lillehammer, meaning ”little hammer” in Norwegian. He grew up on a large farm with a number of 3 little brothers and 3 little sisters. Being the eldest, the burden of responsibility and maturity often fell upon him. His parents were good folk, but strict and would always hold him responsible if something happened to the little ones. Ragnar had turned 8 by the times his little brothers had turned 4, and his little sisters 6. They came in two batches after him, full house so to speak.

Every day he would work long hours with the farm, taking care of the animals, then study for school and care for his siblings in between. Though he was technically responsible for all of them, it didn’t take long before his brothers and sisters became old enough to help him out, and they all worked together very well. Their farm was not too far away from a small mountain where the kids used to play and one day they were inside discovering a new cave.

Not long after his 14th birthday, Ragnar and all of his many siblings had just discovered a new cave. While they were all busy playing hide’n seek and exploring, it collapsed. Who’d a thunk it? Of all the times they had been in the mountains, of all the times they had searched and discovered new caverns, it collapses the very instant they are all gathered inside. This was around the time his mutant powers developed for the first time and he was able to burrow a way out of the tunnel and rescue his beloved siblings.

Though scared out of their minds, his parents were overjoyed to see their children again. Neither f them could stay mad at Ragnar, knowing how often they had played safely in the mountains. They too had enjoyed long walks there, before having any of their many children. With his newfound strength farm work became a breeze, but he found it difficult to adjust in school. Being able to lift several tons at the age of 14 was rough on anyone, when it came to adapting to everyday life.

Unfortunately Ragnar had always been something of a brute, but now it didn’t take more than 5-6 incidents of fellow students with broken arms and legs for him to realize that he had to relinquish his love for fighting. Sadly this did not happen fast enough and he was permanently expelled from the school. This was around the time Charles Xavier arrived with a new opportunity, to come live in America. After several weeks of weighing back and forth, his parents decided that it would be best for him, and Ragnar set off to Xavier’s school for the gifted. It didn’t take him more than a month or two to fit right in, and years later he is now one of the senior students.
