((Just your friendly neighborhood Prussia, here. |D))
Name: Mathias Køhler,King of the Vikings :D
Country of Origin:The best place in the world Danmark
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 180 lbs
Appearance: Mathias is an extremely cheerful young man with bright blue eyes and a shock of messy blond spikes atop his head. He's probably best recognized by the trademark grin plastered on his face 90% of the time (5% of the time he's sleeping, the other 5%...let's not go there). Standing at 6' 2" and 180 pounds, he's fairly lean for his height but has a lot of upperbody strength obtained from swinging the large battle axe he wields. His clothing alternates between two main outfits depending on where he his and what type of work he's doing. When out at sea, he'll often don an outfit consisting of two layered tunics over a pair of pants with boots, arm bracers, and a fur-trimmed cloak. He still carries his large axe with him in this ensemble, but also keeps a smaller hatchet and a sword tied at his belt for convenience. When docking and conducting business on land, he'll shed his viking-like attire and trade it for something more modern; a pair of red pants with an equally red button-up shirt, along with a large and heavy black trench coat, boots, leather gloves, a tie, and occasionally a miniature Garrison cap.

Personality: Mathias is extremely optimistic and a genuinely happy person, although his constant smile is often misinterpretted as cockiness or overconfidence. However, his good-natured smile is also seen as a calming, heart-lightening thing; even in the grimmest of situations, Mathias can still muster a smile. He's very good at letting stress, insults, and threats of danger roll right off of his back; often it appears that he is just dense, because nothing seems to affect him at all. In fact, he'll even brush off harsh and cynical comments with a laugh and a wave of the hand. He comes off as very carefree and light-hearted to most everyone who meet him, but under this very thick and dense shell of worryless, upbeat attitude lies a person who is very much in need of validation in their lives. He is often very kind and welcoming to most people, but as kind as he acts toward them, he doesn't honestly open up to people very much. Even those who are closest to him might not realize that the only thing Mathias ever really wants it to be liked, or in some cases, loved.
The other side of Mathias' personality is almost like an entirely different person. It's rare that the happy-go-lucky Dane gets upset, but when he does, it's not something that anyone wants to witness. The shift in mood from happy to angry has been described as seeming as if he is bipolar or has split personalities. Some have even said that it's like he's possessed. The man, when angered, is like a raging volcano; it's a natural disaster that can't really be stopped by anything but time. A few people close to him have said that his angry moods are like "viking rage," as he will smash, burn, and all-together destroy just about anything he can get his hands (or axe) on. It's unclear what exactly can cause him to shift into one of these moods; the pattern of what can set him off is never defined, so it is best to just stay on his good side at all times and to avoid him completely if he shows any signs of anger.
History: Mathias was born to a happy couple in København (Copenhagen), and was raised with much love and energy. As a young boy, the Dane enjoyed playing 'vikings', which a lot of the other children thought was odd, so they avoided him. Without many friends to play with, all Mathias had in his early childhood were his Legos and his family. They happy couple tried their best to make Mathias' upbringing a pleasant one, despite difficulties surrounding the boy's (lack of) social skills and a few minor behavoiral issues in school.
Once he reached highschool, however, it became clear to Mathias' parents and teachers that under all of the aloof, hard-headed attitude and incredibly short attention span, the Dane was actually quite the brilliant student. He received good marks, and later in his education, was even accepted to Københavns Universitet (University of Copenhagen), one of the highest rated schools in continental Europe.
However, after a few semesters spent at University, Mathias' short attention span proved to be a challenge to getting his work done, and he began to grow bored with University all-together. After some time - and many discussions with his parents - he dropped out of school and moved to the edge of the harbor in København. There, he got a job working on the docks, loading and unloading cargo ships. The first time he set foot on a ship, however, Mathias was struck with the intense feeling of deja vu. Once the feeling had passed, he began to feel even more at home on the boats, working until the sun set and then returning home to dreams about vikings and war, and nations personified. Startled by these dreams, Mathias kept them to himself and continued work as usual. He barely noticed when less and less cargo ships began docking, replaced by suspicious looking ships that he soon learned were pirating vessels. Instead of repeled by the idea of pirates, however, he immediately became excited at the idea of joining a crew and going out to sea to pilage and plunder just like the vikings in his dreams...
