Personality:
While outsiders may see the Norwegian as a cold and unmoving character, underneath that layer of mysteriousness and coldness is a beast who loves to tease others whether it’s for personal gain or just being mean. If there's anything Kjetil enjoys (almost) above all else, it’s the allure of a smoked salmon over a roasted fire deep in the mountains of the infamous fjords where he spends a lot of his time. There he practices his skiing, goes fishing, and a lot of times he wanders the forests on his own hoping to come across anything of the supernatural or mythological sort. He likes to spend a good amount of time alone, preferring silence over noise, therefore he does not go out to the city too often unless it’s necessary for him too. He isn’t completely anti-social, he speaks when he needs too, but he chooses to keep his words minimal and only saying what he feels needs to be said. Therefore this makes him quite blunt, making him seem a little rude most times, but he speaks nothing but the (sometimes painful) truth.
Though he may not enjoy going out very much he loves spending weekends at ski lodges to hit up the slopes (and maybe some people if he’s in a good mood) and drink a nice hot cup of black coffee in the commons every morning and evening. He may appear to not always been there in mind, as he does always seem to be looking elsewhere despite him speaking straight to you, but he is still quite down to earth. That is, skiing is for the most part is as down to earth as he can get. Oh, and the occasional one-night stands with people he deems worthy in his less often than not “good moods”.
History:
Kjetil was born in Oslo, but with parents constantly getting bigger and better job offers he and his family were always moving from place to place. Mostly to cities within his home country but he has lived in both Denmark and Sweden for a number of years and because of growing up in the aforementioned countries he has a workable knowledge in both Danish and Swedish. With the amount of temporary homes his parents foresaw them having, he eventually was home-schooled instead of being enrolled in new schools over and over again. This didn’t really bother Kjetil too much because he preferred not dealing with many people at once in one place but it plays a large part into his present day ability to interact with others and how he deals with some certain situations (For example, as smart as he can be easily susceptible to being tricked and influenced but that depends on how it's done)
In the last year he has been living in Finnmark, in the very north of Norway, until recently when his parents were posted to a new job in Switzerland. At first he detested this idea, tired of moving around and just wishing to settle down in one place and live there. However, he considered the great mountains that were located in the country of their new home and the amount of lodges and amazing slopes that were popular at the Alps. This was enough to make him reconsider the new move, after all, he had been thinking about moving out. He isn’t sure for how long he’ll be living in Switzerland but he figured it wouldn’t be that long but he’ll take all that the country has to offer and that was to ski on every mountain and check out every lodge there was.
So this brings the Norwegian to Resort du Lucerne.
Roleplay Sample:
(( Makes this short 'cause lazy~ ))
Norway was a prideful sort of guy and though he acted quite modest he was sure to correct what needed to be corrected. However, he knew that not much came out from his country that was well known, except for maybe oil, so it wasn't like he had much to say. He didn't have a world renowned department store like the fantastic IKEA that came from his brother country, Sweden. Neither did he export amazing toys or stories such as Denmark's Lego and HC Andersen fairytales.
Heck, even his little brother Iceland seemed to get much more credit for sailing the seas as a viking than he did.
Perhaps he was over thinking it. It wasn't like he wanted people to know the things he did 'cause then he'd be bothered all the time but sometimes, on days like this, he can't help but wish to be recognized for what he'd done. There were so many things and he was overshadowed all the time. It also really pissed him off to come across people who thinks his country is the capital of Sweden.
Seriously.
It really did frustrate him.
