THE SIGRÚN

DISCLAIMER: This family is the creative property of not only myself but @Bunny and @Flower - they allowed me to tap their brain for a really cool concept they had for a family not too long ago too, who are actually mentioned in the family narrative!

BACKGROUND: For more information on the Sigrún, take a look here. Please make sure you give this a read before making an app!

PREMADE DESIGNS:


WHO IS AVAILABLE, AND HOW DO I APPLY? Magnus was the only child in his litter to survive his second Drowning, but he had younger siblings. Cousins, second cousins, in-laws, aunts and uncles are all welcome! I'm open to all sorts, really - just message me on Discord if you want to brainstorm! I don't need a lot of info in the apps - a reference/description of the appearance and a little blurb/moodboard/other inspo for the personality, some head-canons if you feel like it - but if you feel like getting in-depth then feel free!

Skjaldar, the shield to weather whatever war crawled up against kin. once celebrated, though now lives with constant aches. he lived for the thrashing of an undertow, the billowing chaos of war, for the refreshing ambrosia of victory. famed guardian, and well-known for his past vanity. he's been humbled nearing the twilight of his prime years. an injury has rendered him less than he had been. scars map exploits of his honored years, trophies. stubborn and proud; he thrives on independence. nurturing, made for a doting uncle or cousin to have. lives for valor and glory; and for him, there is neither if any should falter. gregarious, social.

Brigid

Goddess of poetry && fire

Blunt — Competent — Independent — Dominant — Persistent
Resilient — Independent — Stubborn — Brave — Feisty


Brigid is fiercely independent, sarcastic, direct, stubborn, and can be confrontational. In the same instance she is also carefree and adventurous and is very tomboyish in the way she acts. Brigid loves a good battle and takes great pride in the skills she's acquired. This lioness is eager to prove that she is as strong as anyone who has perfect vision. Brigid believes she must face her enemies and problems head-on.

Her eagerness to prove that she can be independent can sometimes lead to some initial difficulties with Brigid and those she forms close relationships with. Brigid often insists that she can "carry her own weight" and will often mistake a simple friendly gesture as an act of pity for her blindness. However in time Brigid will be able to discern that those that care for her do so because they are friends, not because her blindness makes them feel obligated to do so.

She is often brutally honest when criticizing others, especially her friends. She will always be vocal about her opinions on others regardless of who they are. Her occasional attitude or aloofness is likely related to her being an only child. Brigid is an expert in verbally taunting and insulting any enemies and, on occasion, her friends. Brigid does not let her blindness hurt her self-confidence. She has high self-esteem in regard to many of her abilities and is more than determined to show that she will not let her blindness deter her from living freely and normally like everyone else.

SCREAMS brigid is all yours @irish ★

what is dead may never die

Clan sjáandi, five year old brother to Magnus

THE MUTE ZEALOT, Draugr was nearly killed during his second Drowning. The event permanently changed him — seawater filled the boy’s throat and lungs, forever washing away his voice in what the þjónn later realized was a chastising. Vellen’s wrath Awakened him from his spiritual apathy: Draugr immediately devoted himself to their stormy deity upon revival, and he has served as HIS loyal disciple ever since.

A religious man, Draugr is normally found in prayer or meditation, usually beside the sea where he feels Vellen’s presence. He is known to drink strange elixirs and seawater to invoke visions, and unravels the hidden messages behind the litter found on the beach. He believes himself a sjáandi, a seer — the receiver for Vellen’s musings. To assist him in his wordless sermons and declarations, Draugr has developed symbols — runes! — to communicate with those who he considers worthy of such knowledge: specifically, the Jarl. He delivers Vellen’s messages by drawing his markings in the sand and dirt with his claws. Someday, he hopes to teach an apprentice — a successor — to read his runes, to become his voice.

Draugr’s reputation and identity seems to revolve entirely around Vallen. Only a select few know him as anything more than the disciple, mostly because of his inability to vocalize and express himself beyond a chuff. Sadly, after years of being overlooked, he withdrew from the clan and only makes an appearance when required to. He normally seems reclusive and moody. In truth, he’s simply resigned himself to loneliness — something a keener eye (or empathetic heart) may sense.

In spite of the distance between himself and the clan, Draugr is fully committed to his Jarl. Although he has no hunger for violence or glory — he thirsts only for the sea — he will readily follow his Jarl into battle, and has a menagerie of scars to prove his loyalty.

Master Trade: Pathfinder
Sub-Master Trade: Sleuth

Size: Large; 3FT 8IN & 500LB
Brief Description: Draugr is a creature colored by the seafoam from whence he was Awakened. He is pale white like the frothy caps of the waves, with a snowy muzzle, underbelly, and webbed toes. A soft, silver blaze runs from his nose to the top of his head. He has a soft “saddle” and socks that match. Darker grey rims his upper eyelids; pristine white lines the lower eyelids. He has bright, storm-grey eyes. His white mane is thick and heavy, and his tail is naturally bobbed. Equipped for the cold weather, his coat is not flowing and fluffy but dense, almost wooly. Being a Sigrún, Draugr has earned a number of scars over the years.
Markings and Mutations: Markings: grey socks; grey saddle; grey blaze; grey eye-shadow. Mutations: webbed toes; extra fluffy fur.

eir - protection,help,mercy / 5 years old, Widow to (unnamed) Sigrún

So named because she needed the family's help and protection, so that she nor anyone might ever forget. Eir was a child plucked from the wilds and she was raised on the idea that Vellen brought her to the family. She was a kind and inquisitive child, quick to fall in love with her adopted family. She let herself be swept up in their ways, ever thankful for taking her in she'd do anything for them. Devoted loyalty to they and Vellen both. To further her position into their folds she accepted (name redacted)'s offer of marriage and to become his bride- as close to a true Sigrún as she could get. It was a role she came to happily fill. If she did not love her husband to start she surely did by time he met his demise at the mouth of another. The loss of her life companion tears at her still- Eir is morose more often than not. Sullen, emotions stolen away or temperamentally reacting with words as like knife as claw and tooth. (more to come maybeh?)
