Combat Experience: Eirik was practically born in a battlefield. From the moment he could crawl he was attempting to follow his father to training, running after him to try and sneak into raids. When he was three years old he picked up his first bow and began training in archery. By the time he was ten he joined his father on his first raid. By the time he was sixteen he'd trained with a bow and arrows, a sword, an axe, making weapons of anything he could get his hands on. Eirik was a force to be reckoned with both on and off the field. He's most proficient with a bow and arrow but does equally well with a sword he carries on his back.
Education: Though he never received a formal education Eirik was taught a few various things from both of his parents. His father taught him to read, write, and fight. His mother taught him how to cook and mend clothing. He's a warrior by trade but is also very proficient in blacksmithing and general weapon repairing and making. He speak, reads, and writes Lutrian and can speak Imperial fairly well given his mother Manthrian lineage but has no idea how to read or write the language.
Magic: Eirik grew up with a deep interest in animals. Because of this he's used and practiced his gift extensively and managed to keep a companion most of his life. For most of his life it was a small Imprel he affectionately called Laughter. Now his companion is a Raven he calls Nattvinge.
Personality:
Eirik isn't exactly what one would expect from a violent and aggressive raider. This is a man who has almost a permanent smile on his face with a very friendly and approachable air to him. He's loud, boisterous, the kind of man when he walks in a room everyone knows it. Eirik is very confident in just about everything he does. After all he's spent years working to make himself better and stronger. Though he may come off as arrogant he's not afraid to realize if he's done something wrong. Eirik loves to learn even at over thirty years old he's still enthusiastic to learn.
Though he appears to take almost nothing seriously Eirik does know when he needs to get to work. While he isn't known to have a short temper when he does lose it he can be rather explosive. He has a tendency to lash out when angered though once he calms down he's quick to apologize to anyone he hurt without meaning to. When it comes to raids he's meticulous and cold. During battle he's aggressive and calculating. Never one to underestimate a single opponent. He's protective over his men and never expects them to do something or go somewhere he wouldn't.
He's a fiercely loyal friend who sees those close to him like family. His sons mean everything to him and enjoys spending as much time with them as he can. Though most might think he's not paying attention Eirik has always been a very observant man who can read a room very well. He's not afraid to be a sword or a shoulder to cry on.
History:
Eirik was born the only child to a young couple that struggled for years with infertility. He became their prize. Their pride and joy. Especially to his father. Eirik was always a curious child. Running off the moment someone wasn't watching him, following his father around like a small shadow, crawling into tight spaces, and generally getting into things he shouldn't. Though Eirik wasn't the biggest kid he was always the first one to step up to any bullies. Much to his fathers pride. He began training as soon as he could pick up a weapon and practically never put it down. He made many friends growing up but none as close to him as his best friend. Though Espen Varangr was a few years his senior they grew very close very quickly and remained close friends as they grew together. Sharing victory, loss, pain, and pride.
Most of his time was spent outside. In the village or in the woods. He loved exploring, learning, discovering. His curiosity like a kind of infection that compelled him to seek out any information he could. His fascination with animals was almost as strong as his fixation with battle.
His father was a local blacksmith and raider. He taught his son his trades in hopes that he could take over his spot when he passed away. Eirik met Revna after his first raid when he was ten. They became fast friends and later more. When he was sixteen his first son Loki was born. Eirik worked hard to provide for his new family. Though he never pressured Estrid to marry him he was always loving and affectionate with the mother of his children. When he was nineteen he was offered the position to be his best friends Thane. His right hand man, his confidant. Eirik took the title gratefully happy to know how much the man trusted him.
