Years of Events

1996 - 2002

[birth - Age 6]

 

Born on September 12, 1998, in Heilbronn, Germany, he was a only child to a local shoe merchant, his father was a well named man who made a living making shoes and shining them for the residents of the city with 123,000 people. His mother loved her son, as he had hair like the stars, and eyes to match the gems of the earth,  two of her favorites, Emeralds and Sapphire, which his eyes where of that color. He was born with natural silver-grey hair, and many doctors could not know why his hair was like this, some said due to a missing pigment chromosome, or a misplaced gene. Either way he was born with a rare hair color, his skin was always a peach tan, even as a toddler, during his time in Heilbronn, but as the years went by and time took its tole on the family, business began to fall. Sigurds father began to not be able the pay for the housing and the essentials of life, till one fateful day, his father was killed by a mugger.

 

He stabbed his father to death to only take his shoes, stricted with the pain of losing her lover, Sigurds mother couldn't live on, even with her lovely child, only at four years old, he lost his father. Sigurd was the only thing that kept his mother strong, as he was always clinging to her, and and not wanting her to go, with the passing of his father, and his mother on the verge of ending her life another three years passed before she too died by the same mugger. The same fate that her husband befell happened to her, but this time Sigurd, the age of seven was now alone, but all was not lost, his mother may had tried to save her son, and the mugger almost about to win, Sigurd like any son, protected his mother. The only thing he did was grab a very large rock and smashed the muggers head in, killing him, and saving his mother, or so he thought, seeing her dying, he held his mother, her last dying breath was for him to live on, and on that rainy day, in the month of September, three days before his 7 birthday, his mother passed away, in the alleyway that was his home city.

 

2003 - 2006

[Age 7 - Age 10]

 

With the death of his mother, Sigurd was taken in by his grandparents, the news about their daughter dying was harsh but hearing that their grandchild attempting to save his mother was even more shocking. That at such a young age, he could take a life, but alas his effort was for nothing, the only thing now was for him to grow up and try to have a better life, with him now able to have a stable life. Sigurd, now living in Berlin Germany, his Grandparents Estate being the place he lived, enjoyed the peacefulness it gave to him. He had all the things he needed, food, a bed, entertainment, and even literature, Sigurd quickly learned that sooner or later he would need to learn to fend for himself, so he read up on how to cook. And after a full year had past, he learned hot to cook all the basic dishes he needed to eat for his survival, and not only that in that time frame, being home schooled as well. He learned a new language as well, English, something he knew any German would have to learn if a tourist came about, so as more time passed, a few month;s went by and Sigurd learned about Martial Arts, and wanted to see if his Grandparents would hire a teacher, with the discussion lasting for hours.

 

Sigurd convinced them that learning Martial Art for self protection was a good idea, and giving into their grandchild, they hired a professional teacher to teach him it, Sigurd was surprised that the teacher that his Grandparents hired was a female one. Having blonde hair, green eyes, and rather paler skin than him, she came across from America to teach him, which she didn't know much about Germanic language, good thing he learned English. After meeting her and talking with her, she told him all the things he needed to know, and one thing he didn't know, was his instructor had a daughter, and she had followed behind her mother to Germany. Sigurd met her one day a year after his training began, he now 9 years old, saw her for the first time, and he found her cute, and attractive. Having the same eyes and hair like his teacher, and his mother, he took a liking to her right away, and found out she to went through the same training he was going through, as she was a black belt in the same form he was taking Judo. Sigurd asked it he could train with them both and hesitantly his master said yes but so long as he took things one step at a time, and before Sigurd knew it, time went by and he progressed up the ranks, but still was far from being a great fighter.

 

2007 - 2012

[Age 11 - Age 16]

 

When everything that happened in the last three years of Sigurds life, from him coming into his Grandparents home, and his training with his Sensei, and meeting her daughter. He finally came out as a two ranks below his master's daughter rank, the same rank she was as well, with his training still incomplete, Sigurds master asked his grandparents if she could take him to Japan to further his training off. And with their consent they allowed him to go, now on his way to Japan, he made his way from Berlin Germany to Tokyo Japan, he found it all to be rather unsettling. The loudness of the commercial signs, and the new language as well as culture was startling to him, but he tried his hardest to adjust, and with his teacher there and her daughter he had double the help in this new world. For two more years had passed, in that time Sigurds hair grew out longer than ever before, as he had not had it cut correctly in the time frame. Making it almost anime like, as it was layered and cut in a certain fashion, giving him a more unique feel to his being. Now being able to speak Japanese, as well as English and German, Sigurd was enjoying his time in Japan, but as many good things, his training in Japan was over, he has finished it, and not only that had entered a competition a year before and the current year. And came out in first placed in each round, giving him the gold medal for regional champion, as he now returned to Berlin to see his Grandparents, only to find that his Grandfather had suffered a heart attack a few days before his trip back to Berlin. 

 

Now like before, he had lost another member to fate, as now his Grandmother was all he had left, with the Estate now given to his Grandmother, and a huge fortune his and hers split. He not only became the person that would care for her, but also cook, clean and care for all the things she couldn't, he cooked her foods even though there was a staff, they took care of everything he asked, making hims the head chief of the Estate. He also did the cleaning for his Grandmothers quarters, but as well as taking care of his needs as well, cooking his meals, and cleaning his own quarters, as well as getting at least two hours of training in for his body. Time be a cruel fate, as Sigurd got older, his Grandmother as well, when the time came that she too lost her life, but she died in her sleep, still holding onto a picture of Sigurd and a smile on her face, as she left him a note, telling him he owned the Estate now, and everything was his. Now he had lost four members of his family, all close to him, and with his Sensei hearing about it, she came to him and offered him a deal. She asked him if he was willing to move to Japan and train even more, but he refused to do so. And like that she left, leaving him the chance if he ever wanted to find her, to give her a call, and now with the Estate his, and his life in shambles, Sigurd went out into Berlin to find his place there.

 

2012 - 2020

[Age 16- Age 23]

 

The death if his Grandparents was a terrible fate, Sigurd now having nothing but a house full of things, he had nothing to do, not one to cook for, and no one to care for but himself. Months passed then he got a call, a man name Nicolas, a friend to his Grandparents, and his family, he asked him if he wanted a change in his life, and a way to make it all better for him. With a immediate yes, a few days later, he was picked up by a few men and brought to another large Estate, but this one was much fancier than the one he owned. When he came face to face with Nicolas, he found him to be of Russian descent, as he was told not to speak, or to interrupt, he snapped his fingers and a young girl about Sigurds age came in. And Nicolas telling him if he wanted to have a better life, then he was to marry his daughter, and bring the two families together, but what Sigurd didn't know what there was another man with them, and come to find out after the whole meeting. That he was Sigurd twin brother, as they were separated at birth, and he was given to the Jughashvili family, when the deal was made as Sigurd really had no choice here. As the young girls father was owner of a few major oil rigs and could support his life, finding out the young girls name was Alexandra, and she to had the same hair as his mother, he felt a loving connection to her.

 

Being only 16 and having a wife, or future wife, he accepted what was coming to him, so long as he didn't have to loss anyone else, when things got down to the wire, and everything happened. Sigurd married Alexandra, and they became husband ab wife under certain circumstances, Sigurd and Alexandra lived together in his Estate back in Berlin Germany. And some news came to him, just a few short months after their Marriage, that Alexandra was pregnant, and it was his child, shocked by the information, but her father ecstatic by it, Congratulated his new son in law, and told him he would make a great father, as being so young he could learn a lot, but little did Sigurd know the dark secret Alexandra was keeping from him. When a few more months pasted, and Sigurd thought he was going to be a father, he heard about some terrible news, Alexandra has told him she was leaving him for his brother, though on paper he was in their custody, he was not a legal member of the family, and as such was able to marry Alexandra, though she told him that the child she had was his brothers and not his.

 

Sigurd now having this news hitting him, he fell into a deep depression, now losing his only chance to have a life, was given a chance, his father in law told him due to the outcome of the situation. He was going to allow him to stay if he cared for the child, and be the guardian for the child, to do the things if the the mother or father was not around. He agreed to do so, and became the substitute guardian for the future child, yet another secret his former lover kept from him, as it was, the child that was born was female, and the genetics from the documentation stated that Sigurd was her father, but Alexandra and Sigurds brother forged the information to say that they were the parents. Now the truth about his daughter which they named Mina, was to have a guardian, that was legally her biological father, to be her guardian, someone to watch over her while her parents where not around, the thought was the only thing now Sigurd had. And now forced to do this, he accepted the fate he was given, and found to enjoy it all, as another 4 years had passed, and now Mina the age of 5, she just turned it, enjoyed Sigurd around her, more than she did her parents, even though the spoiled her, and won her love with items of possession, she still loved Sigurds way of love, as he was her friend more than that, she said she wanted him to be her father.

 

The irony of it all, he was her father, and her parents knew it, and for the next few years that pasted, Mina grew older and more like a lady every day, until one day, Sigurd was with Mina out in the market, as she wanted him to show her around. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity to take her for a walk around Berlin, the day was nice, cloudless day, deep blue sky above him, and the streets filled with people. Till a oncoming motorcycle struck Mina, Sigurd not being able to rush to her in time, the crash not only hit Mina, but a few stalls along the way down, and Mina was in the crossfire, all the items, the chaos that was happening Mina was in it all. And after it happened, Sigurd rushed in and with his bare hands, tearing away wood, metal, plastic and various others parts or items on her, found her, and the tears he held back for so long came forth, as he held Mina in his arms, the daughter he never knew he had, died on that day, due to a freak accident, one that scarred Sigurd for life. Now having his little Mina in his arms, and the man that did it all arrested, Andreas and Alexandra now arriving to the scene seeing what happened, they took their stolen daughter away from Sigurd and blamed him for it all. As now they took their daughter to the church to have her buried, Sigurd now forbidden from entering his own Estate, to come near the family to explain what happened, was now forced into nothing once more, he began drinking that day, and all day that day he was in the local tavern, trying to forget what happened. 

 

 2020-2022

[Current]

[Age 23 - Age 25]

 

Sigurd had lost it all, his wife, who now betrayed him for his twin brother, his little Mina, the girl he raised as his own daughter, and then to be banished by his family for something he had no control over. Sigurd could only drink his heart away now, as he could only now forget, but there was one thing he didn't forget, he had one thing left that could help him, with his last bit of money, he used a payphone to call his Sensei that said if he needed anything he could call her. He was surprised he still had the number and or card, and a familiar voice and one he was glad to hear answer the phone, when he asked her to come to Germany to get him away she agreed if he would talk to her. His answer being yes of course met up with his Sensei and as he was ready to leave he did one last thing, the ring he still kept from his wife he flung it into the Estates yard and left everything behind, his whole legacy now behind him. When he talked to his Sensei about what happened and everything that had occurred in the time frame that she left him, and hearing about his lost of Mina, she cried like he did. But Sigurd didn't as he cried his part, and when everything settled down, he finally arrived back in Japan, and he still remembered the loudness that now seemed normal to him. 

 

Sigurd followed his Sensei to her Dojo in Japan, but this time, she offered him the chance to be a Sensei, as she asked him if he was willing to be an instructor for the Judo Dojo. And he looked at her, and kindly as best he could told her no, but he was happy she offered him this chance, but she told him, if he could beat her in a match he then could leave. As he didn't realized that she had tricked him into coming into the Dojo and as her rules where, if you entered it, and a challenge was given, one could not decline. Sigurd had forgotten that one rule, so he again had no choice in the matter, and accepted it all, and with his Sensei whipping him back into shape he lost to her. And as per the agreements he had to become a Sensei himself, but not only that, the way he looked at it, he had another chance to be a guardian, a person to help the others around him, and he made a vow that day, he would help the people around him if he could. But then he also said he would keep others safe, and by teaching them Judo he could protect them by having them protect themselves and others.

 

As even more time passed, and Sigurd met up with his Sensei's daughter, she was a member of the Judo committee at her college, Sigurd being now twenty five years of age, still had nightmares of Mina, and the accident. If Japan has one thing it was Sake, and lots of it. With Sigurd not being able to take the horrors anymore, he heard about a device, something that he saw as a way to escape the horrors of his real world fears, he quickly and without thinking about it, bought the gear called NerveGear, this was his only way to escape his fears without killing his Liver. And a single game, something about Swords and stuff, but he didn't care what it was about, he made his account online the day he came home and with his fears about to be behind him, he rushed into the gaming world called Virtual Reality, "Link Start!"

 

 

Personality

 

Sigurd is a somber character, he is rather enclosed and would rather be left alone by all people, he is someone who is very quiet, he is blunt, callous, unpredictable and withdrawn. He likes solitude and nothing more than being alone, as he experienced a tragic loss at the age of twenty three, he lost the girl he was suppose to be a guardian for. And as a result he became a literal stone guardian for all others, he not only tries to keep others safe from harm, but will risk his own life to safe them, many times he pushes others away to help them. By keeping them out of harms way, or aid them in quests to do the very same thing, he is very emotionless, and likes to stay unpredictable, by keeping information to himself. He can keep others from getting hurt by him, he is very blunt, always wanting to know something off the bat, and never beating around the bush about certain subjects, but most of all he is a drunk. He drinks to forget, even if it leaves him in a drunken collapsed state of mind and body, as his past is one he wishes to not remember, but other than that he is very passionate.

 

He's confident, diligent and fair to others around him, when he is in his confident mode, he is only thinking about what he needs to do at the time being, he keeps his mind set as he is always diligent and focused. He is fair to others, even though he may push others from him, those he doesn't he tends to think over and judge them, as if he is writing a book, they are his pages, and he is the quill and ink that make them who they are in his eyes. Whether they become his ally, his friend, or his enemy, he judges people after their actions never before hand, Sigurd unlike most Germans, does not get angry, or irritated, as he has lost the ability or so he thinks to show emotions, he likes to keep them in check and won't let them show as well. He does this due to five rules he goes by as a way to keep others safe from harm, though he may break a few at times, most or all the time he follows them, as he is quite Ethical. In turn, Sigurd is a rather complicated individual, though he may seem rather cold at times, which he is for the most part, he is nothing more than a guardian who wishes to find a person or set people to keep safe and out of harms ways, and deaths cold bony claws

 

Physical Evidence

 

Sigurd is a six foot and two inch tall man, who is rather muscular, weighing at one hundred and seventy six pounds, he has long back length silver grey like hair that matches the stars that blanket the heavens above. His eyes hold two sapphire orbs that tend to shift into emerald ones when his mood changes in certain situations, his body is broad, him having peach tan colored skin. The certain areas that are more pronounced are his shoulders, collarbone, cheekbones, nose ridge and his jawline, the bones in his body in those area's are more prominent, as well as the muscles at his shoulders, are as well more prominent. Giving him a more sturdier and bulk like appearance, he is very well fit, as he was trained in several different types of Martial Art, one being Judo, he puts his foes in submission, never to hurt them in any fashion. He tends to wear open collar shirts that expose his bare hairless chest, as anything that is closed feels tight and restricts his breathing at certain times, as well as darker colored clothings. Mostly he wears a butler outfit for his duties are that to Lady Mina, his attire made for his body exactly. Keeping his form the same, and his ability to move about, as he is very graceful like, and can move rather quickly despite his large size and stature. He does though, however, despite his bare chest, have a teal green large sun like tattoo on his chest, one that reaches to his waist line, and to his right cheek, it also can be seen under his shirt, the cheek part as well as a neck to throat region section.

Flaws
Reference: http://www.darkworldrpg.com/lore/flaws.html

 

1.) Alcoholic- After the death of Lady Mina, a thing the family said he could have prevented, he became very mellow, and melancholy, he was always trying to make his memories go away. The screams that kept him away at night, the dreams that quickly turned into nightmares, he wanted them all to go away, and so he resorted to drinking. He is always seen with a bottle near him, if at all, as he always wants to make his memories fade away, the be taken away in the currents of the alcohols he consumes

 

2.) Blunt- Sigurd never liked beating around the bush, he spoke only what he needed, and wanted others to do the same to him, he wanted information upfront, and he did the same to others. He was always wanting someone to speak what he wanted to hear, but this only happened when he was requiring set information, anything else, he could care less about. If it was related to his duty at the time, he never played games, and always got straight to the point.

 

3.) Callous- Due to the fact, that since his job was to protect Lady Mina, and nothing more, he became rather doll like, or statue like, he made sure she was happy, he smiled when she wanted him to, or he saw fit. Talked to her when the time arrised, and more, but after her death, he lost all emotion, and locked them away in his heart. A stone shell formed around it, encased in cold steel chains, and surrounded by a cloud of cold darkness, as he became a literal statue now, he never shows emotion, or likes to let people make him show it.

 

4.) Unpredictable- Sigurd, due to the fact that he keeps to himself all the time, and rarely ever comes in contact with people, he has became rather unpredictable. He never tells people what he will do next, he is quiet all the time, and does not let others get close to him. Making information gathering about him incredibly difficult to even attempt, as he will either stare at set person, or push them away, and due to this, you never know what he will do next.

 

5.) Withdrawn- Sigurd is not a friendly person, he tends to not hang around others, and will push them away if he sees one such individual trying to become his friend. He sees people as allies, not friends, as he has no need for a friend, but an ally will be his tool in any situation, he see's a ally as a means to ending a situation, even if it is for a short amount of time. Though he is not rather found of others, he will tolerate a person talking to him, even if he says little to them.
