Snorri Niequist

Snorri Neiquist is a wolf from Zion and a member of the Boreas faction. While not born in Zion, he might as well been. He was brought into the faction at a young age due to his family's talents, and the pack has been all that he has ever known. He is an expert weapon's specialist, and there is little that he has not seen, repaired, or used. When Amund Fannar led a splinter group to Nova Scotia, Snorri went along as their weapons specialist and fletcher. He participated in the Boreas Conflict II.

He spent the majority of his time on the war front repairing weapons and keeping the group battle-ready. Snorri was a close ally and friend of Ragna Eklund, and the two participated in many raids and attacks on Salsola and Inferni alike. He fought valiantly during the final assault made by the enemy attacks on Boreas' camp grounds, but obtained life-threatening injuries. Ragna managed to allow the pair to escape to safety as the last of Boreas fell. Snorri eventually died from his injuries in the days following the final stand, passing away during a bitter winter's night.

Personality


In a world full of conflict and chaos, Snorri is a rather rare gem to find. He has a warm, "big brother" sort of personality, and any that find themselves as someone he cares for can rest assured that he would lay down his life for them. He is a very selfless individual, often putting others' needs above his own, and, if in need, Snorri will make sure they're taken care of. He's highly protective of his own, and there isn't a fight yet that he wasn't willing to take part of. He enjoys teasing others as a way to lighten the mood, but is never one to take it too far (unless they've done something he feel needs to be addressed). He's a good listener, and someone that can be relied on and trusted. Snorri is very hardworking and is a stickler for perfection in his works.

Having grown up with constant conflict though has put a few chips in his demeanor and has had a lasting effect on the male. While generally, outwardly unfazed by a lot of things and very slow to anger, Snorri does have a darker side, brought on particularly when the Sctintilla coyotes are brought up. He is not above vengeance and making others suffer if they have wronged him or someone he loves. He is a stickler for tradition and may challenge those that threaten this. His anger is hard to find, but, when released, everyone better watch out.

Interaction

  • Speech: Deep; comforting and warm at times, threatening at others
  • Scent: Smoke, ash, burnt wood, minerals and coals, dirt
  • Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Fiddles when bored; has a constant eye for weaponry and wanting to make them "perfect"
  • General Posture and Body Language: Relaxed (but not lazy or slouched)

Biases

  • Packs: Strong hatred for Sctintilla and dislike for Inferni; the wolves of Salsola were tricked and misguided
  • Species: Coyotes are good for very few things, the most ideal being a rug and something to pick one's teeth with
  • Gender: Lesser women are often misguided by their feelings
  • Sexuality: Homosexuality is a sin and a very serious insult

History


Snorri's parents were recruited into Boreas for their blacksmith talents when he was very young, and it is within the faction that Snorri has remained. He had three brothers growing up, two of which were lost to the rivaling Sctintilla faction of coyotes. Their bodies were found brutally assaulted and maimed, Snorri's hatred for the faction grew into a species-wide need to cull the earth of them. Snorri grew up and fought alongside his packmates without doubt for their cause. He had been hurt, and he wanted those deemed the cause of his pain to pay, and to do so dearly. He poured his talents into the family trade, wanting Boreas to have the finest and most reliable weapons available when they went into battle. When not in the forge or applying the finishing touches onto objects of war, Snorri honed his fighting prowess, eventually specializing in wielding battle axes.
