Name: Nils Olstad
Country of Origin: Norway
Gender Male
Age: 20
Height: 5'7
Weight: 134 lbs
Appearance:
Crew member of: Metall Podsolnuh
Status: Crew
Pet: N/A
Crest: N/A
Personality:
Typically speaking, Nils is a very low energy individual. He isn’t prone to doing frivolous things that take a whole lot of physical effort. In fact, even on a sunny day, he’d likely choose to read a book over going outside. He doesn’t particularly believe in trying to fix the rest of the world and would rather work on smaller issues than the big picture. Nils doesn’t show any emotion in his face or voice when he talks unless something really takes him off guard.
Nils isn't one of those people who acts serious in public but is privately a much more wild person. He actually is just as together and structured as he lets on. The only difference is that he is more affectionate privately. While public displays make him incredibly uncomfortable, he has less of a problem speaking whimsically behind closed doors. Still, he has a preoccupation with not losing himself in any relationship, so he's not quick to allow someone to call him theirs and in turn, he doesn't claim ownership over others.
History:
For Nils, sailing was simply in the blood. His family had long served in the Norwegian navy, in fact, his family traced its naval tenure all the way back to the Viking raids and exploration. Have a deep rooted love of the ocean, Nils had no problem with the idea that he would be continuing the tradition. He put his time learning in, memorizing locations, routes, map symbols. If he was to put be next Olstad born navigator, he was going to need to know his stuff. He accepted this training as he accepted everything else, stoically.
Not being one for mirrors, Nils barely noticed his own strange inabilty to show a wide range of emotions. He never quite knew why people seemed to have a difficult time talking to him. He knew he spoke clearly and he rarely tried to dazzle anyone with exotic vocabulary. Nevertheless, while he could ignore this, his parents didn't. As his father was often out at sea, he expected a certain amount of excitement from his first son upon his return. However, Nils just greeted him formally, barely twitching a smile. It didn't take long before tension grew between the two, but Nils never understood why.
Had the elder Olstad been around more, he may have learned that his son was simply not expressive. But the two didn't reconcile in no small part because neither knew what the problem was. In the end, Nils simply left for the navy, as the plan had always been. He was two years into his tour of duty when he fell off the radar. He honestly didn't know why he took off, he just did. He didn't know what he was looking for until he found it. The offer to join a pirate ship. Intrigued, he had no choice but to see what was on the horizon.
