Viking fun on the Internets
What's your Viking Name? Mine is Öndótt Thickthews!
(Well, actually, that wouldn't really be my name -- since I'm female, my name would be something like "Öndótt Björnsdottir". But this is the twenty-first century, and I want to be known for who I am, not for who my father was, right? Right.)
My Viking Personality: I'm a fearsome Viking, but I'm not completely uncivilized. The other Vikings make fun of me for that. I am strong and tireless, frequently shouldering burdens that would tire lesser women. I might be able to hold my own on the battlefield, but I'm no "berserker".
I would have a very tough time making a long sea voyage in a Viking longboat. I possess some skills which other Vikings respect.
I have a fairly pragmatic attitude towards life, and tend not to expend effort in areas where it would be wasted. Due to your gregariousness, I don't strike fear into the hearts of my victims. I shall try to be a little more surly in the future.
