NS Name: United Formosa
Character Name: Osweald ''Priest Hater'' Jorviksson, (alternatively Osweald One-Arm)
Culture: Anglosized Geat
Gender: Male
Connection to the Knights of the round table

It is common knowledge that Sir Gingalain married Queen Esmerée the Fair, and an educated few know of his connection to the Pucelle aux Blanches Mains, but it is a well guarded secret that gallant Sir Gingalain produced a son during his final congress with the fae. Even after all she had done to aid him in winning the tournament and personal glory for himself Sir Gingalain chose a mortal over her. After the child was born it served as a constant reminder of her lost love and she could never bring herself to feel love towards it. Still, she had no wish to murder the babe, so instead she travelled far from Christian lands, into the realms where the spirit world was still respected to find a new home for her son. The local spirits told her of a simple, pious man who lived in the forest carving stones whose wife was unable to conceive. She approached him in his dreams and promised him good fortune and secret knowledge if he would raise the child as his own, but he was forced to promise to keep the boy away from the kingdom of Arthur. If he ever set foot in the land of his birth, she would curse the family. He was to never know who his real father was or where he came from. Jorvik agreed and did his best to protect his son from gaining an interest in the outside world. He was eventually blessed with a daughter, but the cruel hand of fate pulled the boy to his homeland and brought to pass the dreaded curse Pucelle aux Blanches Mains warned of.

Biography:

(Image)

Osweald and his sister Astrid grew up in the cold ,rocky forests of Tiveden.
His father was a rough simple man of no great ambition. Outside of his work as a runestone carver he seemed to lack passion entirely, except on rare nights when the wind blew just right and the mead flowed too freely, Jorvik would spin grand tales for his children; sagas of noble warriors, fair maidens, and vexing and treacherous spirits. Jorvik knew these stories well from carving some of them hundreds of times, others from wandering skalds, or grateful patrons with whom he would often dine, but his son obsessed over them. Osweald would beg at any chance he had to break his fathers otherwise stoic, task focused demeanour and his whole face would turn red with excitement if his father succumbed. Often his father would use such tales to lure the boy into helping him carve stones, and learn the art. Whenever traders from the coast would pass through the area he would pester them mercilessly for news about far off lands and stories of the sea-raiders.

As Osweald grew older he would sneak away from home to spend time with the sailors and warriors returning from over seas. Like them he marked himself with pagan tattoos and symbols of Odin’s realm, the largest of which were runic spells for power and wealth that ran down the length of his sword arm. Against his father’s wishes when he became old enough to join the raids himself he enthusiastically volunteered, but found reality to be much harsher and less glamorous than the sagas. He threw up the first time he saw someone torn asunder, and was cruelly mocked. Though his stomach would steel over time his appetite for senseless violence was quickly quenched. He returned home with more silver than he could carry , but his time away would prove to be hubris. A neighbouring chieftain had conquered the forests and sold the inhabitants into slavery. With the pluder stolen from Christian lands he was able to secure his sister’s freedom, but the chieftain betrayed him and wanted double for his father.

Osweald used the remainder of his money to reequip himself and set out for one last adventure to reunite his family, but the Gods are cruel and the cross stands tall. After some minor success the raiding party Osweald was a part of was ambushed by catholic mercenaries and destroyed. Osweald and his sister were taken captive. He was brought to the bishop of Lindisfarne for trial, but when it was discovered that he could read and write the pagan runes his live was spared in exchange for his lifelond devotion to the church. As a mark of his new commitment to Christ his sword arm, bearing the mark of Odin and the runic spells, was amputated; neutralizing his combat abilities, as well as being a powerful reminder of his new masters. Eventually Astrid was able to bribe Osweald to freedom, but poverty stricken and crippled, they were forced to roam their new island home looking for the wealth to save their father. Oswealds hatred for the church never lessened and his frequent outbreaks of violence against the clergy have given him his rightly deserved moniker.

How 'bout I do anyway?

[SaintB]

Ok, guys. Here is my situation... I live in the middle of nowhere USA where the population density is like 10 people per square mile and there are more farmers fields than houses. I have been struggling with my ISP to get them to repair my internet connection since mid March. I will get my connection back for a few days and then it goes back down again. Over the last month I've had an internet connection an average of 3 days a week. While I'm at work I have been too busy to post on NS and check on this RP, I can't get my Discord channel to work, and I have had a lot going on in my life despite that fact that all I'm doing is going to work and staying at home.

I have sadly made the decision to postpone this RP even though its not what I want to do. you all have been great with your IC posts and patient with me being AFK for literal weeks, but I cannot run an NS RP right now and I'm sorry for all if this.

I will be rebooting After the Legends at some point in the future this year and I will make sure to send an invite to every one of you who joined this RP when I do so. So sorry for this guys.
