General/Background:
The name Skuld comes from Skuldhild, which is associated with Nordic Rune "nessecity." (Norse). She is also listed in history as one of the Valkyries.
Valkyrie warriors were in clans, and the head of a clan was sometimes called the shieldmaiden. Valkyries are the "choosers of the slain", or Angels of Death, guiding souls into the halls of Valhalla (heaven).
Skuld serves Freya, sometimes called "Valfreya", meaning "Mistress of the Slain." She also follows the Shieldmaiden, Hildegard, presently the highest ranking Valkyrie, and one of the oldest.
A Valkyr is a chosen woman, who gives her life to serving her goddess. All others things are meaningless.
She is also known as a shapeshifter, which are part of her Valkyrie powers. Using these abilities she is able to take the forms of wolves, leopards, ravens and in rare cases a black swan.
Appearnace:
Name: Unkown
Alias: Skuldhild; Skuld
Age: Unknown; Appears 27
Sex: Female
Eyes: Brown, red highlights
Hair: Auburn
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Time Period: 750-Present
starts from the Ancient Viking time period.
Origins: Gothic Romania
Quotes:
"Are we masters of our fate or victims of circumstance?"
"Death does not discriminate. I do not discriminate."
Weapons:
Battle Axe: Skuld has one primary weapon. It's neither easy to carry or appropriate for the current times, but it's what she's good with. Her battle axe is double-handed and double-headed. The shaft is stained deep red, and has Runes etched in. The blade is black, with Runes etched in. The Runes on the blade are eternally red, holding the blood of those who have met its' edges.
Handle Length: 38"
Overall: 46"
Weight: Approx 13-14 lbs.
Glock 17: This is Skuld's favorite handgun because of the way it fits into her hand and fires easily. Though Skuld prefers not to use weapons of the present day. She uses this when it is needed, though she carries it with her always.
Browning High-Power Mark III and High-Power Practical: This is one of Hilde's favorites, which she introduced Skuld to. She keeps one in her room, near her bed, wherever that happens to be.
Sample RP:
She wandered the cemetary, feeling a bit uneasy and yet at home at the same time. The names of the dead rising to meet her open mind, all members of a species that she haunted.
Her wings hugging her, she stopped in front of a head stone, it looked so much like her. The Angel was bent over the name and grave of the fallen man. The fallen warrior. All this Angel needed was armor and darker wings.
The headstone had read that he had lived in a modern world, but she knew he possessed the soul of one from long ago. One that would this time make it to it's semi-final resting place.
"On to the feasts," she told him, and disappeared.
.Valhalla.
Her footsteps were heavy as she left...the blood tears staining her pale face...
Blood tears, for the Immortals.
